Manager Bucky Harris must rest
his $40 hitter for an undetermined
time.
Also injured was Mickey Grasso,
the Mats catcher. who was struck
on the Adams apple by a foul tip
and left the second game. The
Browns did not escape injury
either, for Bill DeMars, their
shortstop. was forced to retire in
the first inning of the opener
when he twisted his ankle round
ing third base.
Mickey Harris to Start.
With Mele and Coan out OF
action, Harris will employ Sherry
Robertson in the outfield and
make more extensive use of John
ny Ostrowski. who joined the Mats
yesterday, along with his miss
ing" ex-Chicago mates, Cass
Michaels and Bob Kuzava.
The Mats manager also Is run
ming out Of pitchers. Today he
was forced to pluck Mickey Harris
from the role Of an effective re-
lever and start him against the
Browns. who were to counter with
Lou Kretlow.
When the Browns weren't
wrecking the Mats physically last
night, they were pounding their
pitchers. They clouted Sid Hud-
son. Jim Pearce and Weik for IL
hits In the opener, with Hank
ART supplying five safeties for a
perfect game. In the second en-
gagement they battered Lloyd
Hittle, Weik and Dick Welteroth
for II hits.
The Mats virtually were out of
both games in the first inning. st.
Louis thumped Hudson for four
runs in the first inning of the first
game. clubbed Hittle for three
runs in the first inning of the
second game and never re-
linquiShed either lead.
MATS NOTES: ART fashioned
a triple. two doubles and two sin
giles in the opener, while Friend
slapped four singles to pace the
Browns 14-hit attack in the
nightcap. ART had q string Of
seven straight hits over a span Of
three games until Hittle finally
got him out in the third inning Of
the second game.
The Mats have lost five of six
games against st. Louis. In
the first game Hank Soar, plate
umpire. called an Eddie Stewart
smash to Arft fair. =. Jim Boyer,
umpiring at first base, called it
foul. Soar exercised his au-
thority as umpire in chief, over
ruled Boyer and called Stewart
out. ..
Cass Michaels doubled in the
first game for his only hit, while
Ostrowski failed to hit. Mich
aels and Pitcher Bob Kuzava ar
rived by plane yesterday after
noon, explained they were late re-
porting due to the necessity of
driving their families from Chi
cago to Detroit.

Crippled Mats Forced
To Use Mickey Harris
As Starting Pitcher
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats got their first breai
that wasn't fracture today wher
X-rays of Pitcher Dick Weik's bat
tered knee disclosed no serious
damage. but the team is confront
ed with the loss of Outfielder Gil
Coan for from four to six weeks
with a possible fractured skull
Center Fielder Sam Mele also will
be out two or three days due to
recurrence OF a groin injury.
Weik, struck on the left knee by
a line drive of Owen Friends bat
last night as the Mats dropped q
double-header to the st. Louis
Browns, 10-5 and 9-3, probably
will be able to take a regular turn
on the mound. according to DR..
George Resta, club physician.
Weik's injury climaxed a night
of misery for the Mats. who now
have lost four straight and eight
Of their last 10 games. He was
able to limp from the field. but
Coan was carried OF on q
stretcher.
New Examination Delayed.
Preliminary diagnosis and wet
readings" of X-rays indicated
Coan has a fractured skull. DR..
Resta planned to examine Gil
more exhaustively at Georgetown
Hospital today but abandoned the
idea, reporting Coan "too i'll to
stand further probing at the mo-
ment." In any event. Resta said,
the injury is serious enough to
keep Coan sidelined at least a
month.
Coan, who has hit two bases
loaded homers this year, suffered
his injury in the seventh inning
Of the first game when he slid
hard into second base attempting
to break up q double play. The
side OF his head crashed into
Friends knee and Gil didn't re-
gain consciousness until he reached
the clubhouse.
Weik was hit so hard by Friends
liner that the ball caromed to the
third-base field boxes and bounced
off the wall in the eighth inning
Of the second game. Mele was not
able to play the second game and

Asseeiefsd Press Sports Writer

Ask the average man what hi
knows about Vic Wertz and yot
draw a blank stare. Yet this un-
sung slugger Of the Detroit Tiger:
could wind up the most valuable
player in the American League.
Wertz, a powerfully built 25-
year-old from York, Pa, is the

nipping at the heels of the New
York Yankees.

New Record for Mile
Possible as Citation
Seeks Money Crown
BY the Associated Press

ALBANY, Calf, June 3.-The
Calumet Farms brilliant Citation
runs in the Golden Gate mile to-
day with a chance to become the
greatest money earning horse in
thoroughbred history.
The stage for the $40, 900 race is
Golden Gate Fields, situated on
the shore of San Francisco Bay
in a direct line with the Golden
Gate Straits.
Victory for Citation would send
his all-time earnings above the
record Of $918.485 set by the now
retired Stymie.
But it won't be q walkaway for
Citation in the medium priced
stake for which eight are named
and six probably will start. Gold
en- Gates oval Is one of the fast
est strips in the world and he'll
have stern competition from such
speedsters as Bolero, Old Rock
port. Esprit de France and Boom
erang Boy. -
Also named are Fervent and
Mocopo, who are not expected to
start unless it's an of track. The
Weather Bureau predicts clear
weather.
Besides Citations bid for undy-
ing fame, there is this probability:
Whoever wins the race is likely to
set a new world record for the
mile. The present standard of
1874 was set at Chicago's Wash
ington Park last August by Calu-
met Farms Coaltown.
Up on Citation for the big try
will be Steve Brooks. They'll have
top weight of 1913 pounds, with the
second choice, Bolero. packing 8
pounds less.
Bolero, who set a new world
6-furlong record Of 1908 Us only
last Saturday, will be piloted by
the veteran Johnny Longden.
Up to now Citation has won
$910,080, just $8,045 less than
Stymie. If eight start today VIC
tory is worth $15,o50; II six go the
winner get $l4,550.
The expected field: Citation

SchooIboy Golf Title at Stake
As Part of Celebrities Tourney

Although golfing ability isn't a
prime requisite for an invitation
to play in The Posts National
Celebrities golf tournament today
and tomorrow at the Army Navy
Country Club and q fiubbed shot
here and there won't be heart
breaking, there are at least four
players who will be very serious
about the whole thing.
These are the four semifinalists
in the Metropolitan Schoolboy
tournament who will be deciding
their championship this week end
playing In company with bigwigs
from many branches Of American
life. Today's semif1nals have Billy
Wolfe against Joe Eisinger, and
Dennis Bolster against Bob Wolfe.
The two winners then will tangle
tomorrow for the title.
The tourney opens at noon to-
day and although low scores
aren't the important thing there
should be some fancy shooting. A
number of golf1ng's big names are
entered. and some Of the celebri-
ties from other fields also are
right handy with the woods and
irops. There's Howard Mitchell,
director Of the National Sym
phony Orchestra, for example,
who at one time was an assistant
golf pro.
Bob Hope Of screen and radio
is another who is no green hand
with golf sticks, but he is far from
deadly serious on the course and
generally is as entertaining as a
golfer as he is in his more ia
mliar mediums. The same goes
for many Of the other big names
playing today and tomorrow, and
also the reverse about scoring is
true and some figures around 90
or 100 may be expected.
Play starts at noon both today
and tomorrow.

Rotary Hears Junior Mayor

Donald Clark, junior mayor of Kodiak, addressed the Ko- diak Rotary Club Tuesday noon following the regular luncheon at the Montmartre Inn.
 Clark outlined plans of the junior council and said that it is looking forward to "runn- ing the city for a day or two."
 Mrs. Eugene Strigga of NOE is largely responsible for forming the junior council. However the VFW and Auxi- liary are the ones who are backing us and have done lots of work. Mrs. Strigga had the idea of forming a junior pe- lice force and talked to U. s. Deputy Marshal Clarence Dizney about it. The council grew from this conversation, Ola k said.
 William Chase of the Hub- bell and Waller Engineering Corporation attended the meeting as the guest of Marshall Crutcher, president of the Bank of Kodiak.
