entitled to a cabin cruiser,

Neither the telephone

the Giants, after splitting four
game set in Cincinnati.
The pitching, with the excep-
ton of the first two games
against the Redlegs, cannot be
faulted. The boys haven't been
hitting, however. especially in
the clutch. They cracked 10
hits and drew two walks against
the offerings of Dick Littlefield
and Hoyt Wilhelm yesterday but
were able to score only once.
1t was tough defeat for the
Braves-as is every loss at this
late stage-but it was an espe-
cially bitter one because it was
inflicted by a pitcher who hadn't
won all year. Littlefield, who
pitched the first seven innings
to be credited with the victory,
went into the game with a O-5
record.
Manager Fred Haney took the
defeat philosophically.

Senators Fans to Meet
Women Athletes TONIGHT
BY ROD THOMAS

Stella Walsh, As, was the
center Of attention when the
United States women Olympic
track candidates were honored at
a luncheon yesterday at Jim
Magner's new All-Sports Club,
but tonight the spotlight will
rest squarely upon Pamela
Kurrell.
Pamela, a 17-year-old San
Francisco high school girl who
might be mistaken for a Holly
wood starlet. will appear at Grit
fifth Stadium in an exhibition Of
baseball throwing.
Also introduced to the ladies

Kansas City contest. in pre-game
activities starting at 1850 o'clock,

Iletes who will participate in the

and Mrs. Earlene Brown, shot
Iputter.
In the National AAU cham
Ipionships at Philadelphia over
the last week end, Miss Kurrell
threw a baseball 269 feet 5 inches
for an American record. Her
forte is the discus toss, in which
she won the national title with
a pitch of 140 feet IL inches.
Yet, few at first glance would
recognize her to be an athlete.
She's a genuinely pretty. de-
lightfully giggly school girl.
Mrs. Olson, brought to this
country at the age of /, hopes to
round out a remarkable career
by representing the United States
in the Olympics. Twice she has
represented Poland in the big
|, meet and three times in the
Women's Olympics. In world
competition she has won eight
gold medals and three silver. In
a career spanning 80 years, she
has established IS national rec
ords for various countries, in
track and field. But she also is a
crack basketball and softball
player.
1 She keeps in trim by playing
basketball and softball. AS a
pitcher, she shone with the
Rochester, N. Y, Filarets, or
Iganized and directed by the late
Roy Van Graflin, major league
umpire. The Filarets won POI
straight games, with Stella
contributing a number of no.
