BOTTLERS MEET SHIPYARD AT HILTON TODAY i . I A A '1 If Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE Wrestling—the best exercise for conditioning a man’s mental alertness and entire physical structure—would be a logical addition to the training programs for America s fighting men. That’s the way Jim Londos sees it. v. If the handsome Golden Greek is an example of what he preaches, there’s no doubt about his point. Built like a cross between a gorilla and a medium tank, the five-times world mat champion is physique personified. “Not that there is any use in teaching soldiers the finer points of wrestling,” he told us in his dressing room here Friday night. “But there’s no better exercise for building them up physically and mentally ... No other sport requires so much coordination of the body —from the head to the bottom of the feet. ’ “And it sharpens a man’s thinking powers. He has to be quick-witted to follow his opponent’s every move . . . Wrestling should be adopted in every army camp and in every navy training center as a required exercise. The re sults would be surprising.” Maybe the modern Adonis has something there. Londos, whose age is hovering around the half-cen tury mark, is still the picture of perfect health. And he proved in his scrap with Bibber McCoy at Thalian hall Friday that he’s a long way from sports oblivion. Rigid training rules are the reason. The champ doesn’t drink and watches his regular hours. He’s care ful not to overeat and in the summer mostly nibbles on vegetables and drinks fruit juices—has meat about once a week. Long an idol of his people, Londos is also a friend of Greek King George II, himself a great believer in physical fitness, and will attend a dinner for the monarch at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Thursday night. The veteran wrestler drew 100,000 people in Athens while on his pre-war tour of Europe and then gave his share to charity. Sports Carbon: Sam Butz of the Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union says if the loss of football coacihes to the armed services continues, a 200-pound high school tackle ready to pay his own way through school will be able to pass the college gym without being accosted even once. The streamlining revolution, which has already touched virtually everything from locomotives and ocean liners to common householdites, is extending to—of all things—golf. Up pops George Sargent, 1909 National Open champ and now pro at Atlanta’s East Lake course, to reveal that he and a group of scientists have practically perfected the streamlined “Club of Tomorrow,” a stick to reduce duffers’ .hooks and slices and put longer distances into drives. With a smaller, rounder head, and a flattened shaft the dream club is designed to cut down wind resistance and thus made the aim truer and more powerful. Sueh an inovation will cut down scores, sure. But think of the fun of hearing that ball swish farther and straighter than ever before. Wartime manufacturing restrictions make immediate development of Sargent’s brain child im possible, although it gives golfers something to wait for. Now with a cinch at shooting in the making, all that’s needed is some kind of magnetic hole to draw the ball.

Otherwise he pitched a one-hit, 1 to 0 victory over the Boston Braves to give the Cubs their fourth victory in a row. Fleming was master of the Braves all the way. Yet he had to defeat Tom Earley with the aid of a wild pitch by Earley which let in the only run of the game. 4 BosTOMby lnning£: H H r -ooo ooo ooo—o i o CHICAGO - 000 000 Olx—1 4 0 Three base hits—Stringer, Nicholson Sacrifices—Merulio.

J. POWELL. Stop the Progressive clubbers— that’s the cry going around the Cape Fear baseball league as the semi-pros go into the last lap of the first half schedule today with games slated at Hilton and at Legion stadium. Both games( be gin at 3:30 and will be operated under the usual no-charge setup. At Hilton, Pepsi Cola will get the tough assignment of trying to put a crimp in the slugging Ship yard machine which apparently is headed toward the first half flag with little resistance. What stacks up as a tight tussle will be played at the stadium when the A. L. King boys hook up with Frank Clemmon’s upward-bc«und Amoco Cannoneers. A victory for the Boatmen today would just about assure the league leaders of the first half plum, and unless the Cola crew perks up con siderably it is our prediction that this will occur. One thing in the Bottlers favor, however, is that Lefty Cheshire, recently secured from King, may be in there south powing at the murderers row this afternoon. Other news from the Pepsi front is that Catcher Nether cutt will take over the control of the team on the field, starting to day. Nethercutt will be behind the plate and the regulars will probably be back at the othei posts. Manager Urbon can call on either of his big three pitchers— Williams, Brown, or Brosnan—but the last mentioned hurler is most likely. Taylor will be the back stopper and the rest of the lineup will be the same. Although being held nitless for the first time by the King twirlers last Sunday, Out fielder Hoggy Davis is still fai out in front in the league batting race. The cellar position will be the reward for defeat in the stadium affair. King is now bringing up the rear but a win over Amoco would push the Cannoneers back in their most frequent seat. Fur ther than that a close game is ex pected because both clubs have been playing a good brand of ban lately and both appear on the up grade. Roy Lamb for King and Headon Piner or B. A. Edwards for Amoco will likely provide the pitching for the fray, with Burney Covington or Tatum receiving for the Grocery gang and Sam West doing the same chores for the Oil ers. Manager Snag Allen and Lei ty Hill will be on hand to relieve Lamb, and Lefty Ray Brew will be held in reserve for Amoco. Bofh infields and outfields wiU look the same as last week. Umpires today will be Batson and Brown at the Stadium and Eagles and Brown at Hilton. The Standings Won Lost Pet. Shipyard -i 8 1 .888 Pepsi Cola _ 4 4 .501) Amoco _ 3 6 .333 A. L.

J. POWELL Undefeated Masonboro clashes with unbeaten P & F at Bellamy park this afternoon in the out stant^pg attraction on the Sea board league’s three-game pro gram. While the big boys are battling for the loop’s top-honors, the rest of the lesser lights will be having a tea-party among themselves. The twice-licked Carolina Tigers ftike on the last place Sunset Park boys on the Robert Strange diamond while the slipping Su-Ann Shoemen journey down to Masonboro to en gage the revived Shipyard Fitters. Only one club will be leading the league after the Bellamy park fracas, and each of the contestants claim that it will be the other that goes down. Both teams feature a slugging attack, but the edg ein this department must be given the Movers. High school hurlers Scog gins or Auld will be on the slab for the Expressmen, and Ed Far row or Ed Todd will pitch for the Clamdiggers. No changes are ex pected in either lineup. Although keeping the cellar with three setbacks against no wins, the Sunset Park club is the slight favorite to whip the Tigers, minus their ill star.uuuuuuuuugriffith. u Parkers gain this nod by virte of the fact that several ex-Cape Fear ers nave joined the squad. Pitch ers Danny Page and Jack Allen head the list, which will grow ac cording to Manager Lee Rochelle. Infielder Gene Allen is also with Sunset. Although defeated in mak. ing his debut last Sunday, Page will go to the mound again this afternoon with Dyches the probable catcher. Some of the newcomers may break into the Park lineup today but the team will probably look like last Sunday’s edition. Mayhan will be the likely 'start er for the Tigers with J. Collum on the other end. With the excep tion of 6one or two infield spots, the rest of the Carolina lineup will be the same. Newly-signed Poopy Sandlin and several other players from the old Athletic club may toil for Morriss Grissom’s Su-Ann team today Other than the fact that Sandlin and Marshburn may form the bat tery, the rest of the Shoe lineup is uncertain. The home team Ship yard Fitters announced that their lineup will find Stephens pitching* Cavanaugh catching, Costin, first base, McGee, _ SS, Butler second base Sumerliri, third base and Marshall Miller and Hackett in the outfield. 4 -V SURVIVORS PORTLAND, Ore., June 13.—(yp,_ The Patten brothers—all seven of them—are among the survivors of the U. s.

Norwood, six year old black gelding owned by C. V. Henkel, Jr., of Statesville, broke Cornish Hill’s run of first place triumphs at five straight when Ed Daniels jumped him to an upset win in the $250 Hunter Stake 17th and final class on the afternoon card of today’s concluding card. Cornish Hills, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Haggin Perry, of Cobham, Va., and ridden by Mrs. Perry, had beaten Norwood twice on the afternoon program and once yes terday. But in the Hunter Stake it was a different story. Judged by conformation and performance, the younger Statesville gelding came out on top of the highly touted seven year old chestnut gelding who pocketed just about every honor in sight in 1941. The Perry entry won first places in the Ladies Hunter class, Nor wood finishing third behind Cap tain Kelly, another Perry entry, while Cornish Hills captured the Corinthian, Norwood being runner up, for two first places before bow ing in the Hunter Stakes. -V--— BOB GINN WINS NCAA MILE RUN MacMitchell Suffers First Loss Of College Career In Meet At Lincoln LINCOLN, Neb., June 13—®— Les MacMitchell of New York university suffered his first NCAA mile run defeat of his college ca reer tonight when, in the oening event of the finals of the annual event, he ran third behind Bob Gin of Nebraska, and Leroy Weed of Southern California. Ginn, a mite of a lad. won with a desperate lunge at. the tape, leaving Weed about a foot behind. Ginn’s time was 4:11.1. MacMitchell never was better than third in the race. For two laps Francis Conforti of Notre Dame held the lead, but on the back stretch of the third lap. Weed went into the lead by two yards over Ginn, Conforti dropping back to fourth. Weed held his lead until the run ners were but a few yards from the last turn. Then Ginn got a yard advantage. As they came down the stretch Ginn seemed to waver and Weed looked the winner. But at a yard from the tape, Ginn made his lunge to win, falling flat on his back after breaking the tape. A1 Blozis of Georgetown won his third straight NCA shot put championship when he got the ball out 54 feet, 9 5-8 inches. He was the only two-year winner to make it three titles, MacMitchell having been beaten in the mile, and Bar ney Ewell, Penn State, champion in the 100 and 220, having bowed out after injuring a leg in the broad jump trials. At the end of two events South ern California, the meet champion and favorite to repeat, led the pack with 18 points, N e b r aska Georgetown and Notre Dame each having ten. -V Jack Demosey Becomes Coast Guard Officer, Will Teach Fighting NEW YORK, .June 13.—(/P)— .Jack Dempsey, who said he was happier than the day he won the world heavyweight boxing title, was sworn intoday as lieutenant, senior grade, in the U. S. Coast Guard. Commissioned to head the Coast Guard’s physical training program at the service’s Man hattan Beach station on I.ong Island, the former champion vowed “I am going to teach them all the rough stuff.” “This is a rough, tough war and the Maro,uis of Queensbury rules are out.” he said. “My students will learn the dirty and most effective way to-fight.” The use of knives in close combat would be taught, he dis closed, hastening to add, how ever, that wooden knives would be used at the start to avoid accidents. Dempsey, who was turned dow ntwice by the Army because of his age, said he was giving up all his civilian activities in cluding management of his Broadway restaurant and radio . program. He will report for duty next week. Swinging Doerr Two best hitters in American leagfffe are second basemen. Boston’s Bobby Doerr, above, is right on the heels of New York’s Joe Gordon. CLAY NET MEET OPENS MONDAY 1942 National Tennis Tourna ment In St. Louis Is Chance For Unknowns ST. LOUIS, June 13— M— Like 16-year-old William T. Tilden in 1918, comparative unknowns have a chance this year to win the na tional Clay Courts tennis cham pionship in the annual tournament starting here Monday. In the war year of 1918, nine o the first 10 ranking tennis stars were in military service and the other, R. Lindley Murray, was a government chemist. Young Til den, making his first swep in big time tennis, won the tournament in Chicago, his first of seven clay courts triumphs. It’s interesting to recall that Murray re-entered tennis compet tion later that year when Ichiya Kumagae, Japanese star, came to the United States unexpectedly and fear was expressed that the national title would go to Japan. However, it was Tilden who con quered the invader, beating him in a semi-final match, 6-2, 6-2, 6-0. Tilden lost to Murray in the na tional final. This year only the No. 10 man among the ranking players, Wil liam Talbert of Cincinnati, has entered the clay courts. Bobby Riggs, Frank Kovacs and Wayne Sabin have turned professional. Don McNeill, Ted Schroeder, Gardnar Mulloy and Bitsy Grant are in service. Frankie Parker is tied down with a movie job on de fense work, and Jack Kramer passed up the tournament. That leaves the field open to players who, so far at least, have little boxoffice appeal—youngster like Charles Mattman, Harris Everett, Gardner Larned, Bill Reedy, Robert Jake, Seymour Greenberg, Robert Smidl, Everett Friedman, George Richards, Jim my Everet and Ted Olewine 4 -V Alabama Youth Wins Southern Net Event CLINTON, S. C., June 13—UP)— Wade Herron, a 15-year-old six foot smasher from Birmingham, Ala., pulled up from behind today and won the Southern Boys’ ten nis championship. In the singles finals he defeated Billy Smith, unseeded, of Orlando, Fla., 1-6, 6-3, 7-5. Herron was third seeded! Jack Tuero of New Orleans won the Junior Boys’ singles title by defeating Claude Luke of Tampa, Fla., 6-1, 6-1, 6-3, Tuero, a 16-year old only an inch shy of six feet, won the boys’ title last year and in competing this season for the Crst time in the junior division was seeded fourth. Tom Molloy of Memphis, Tenn., teamed with Smith and won the boys doubles title by defeating Bobby Doll of Tampa, Fla., and Ed Adams of Columbus, Ga. Scores were 6-4, 6-2. I1^*'*** *'•*- **-»'»• SWING AND SWAY FINISHES SECOND IN CARTER RACE Little Mr. Big Tail Picks lp Speed But Finds Track Space Too Short By SID FEDER NEW YORK, June 13 Whirlaway was beaten today sim. ply because they didn't give him enough room to run. Little Mr. Big Tail from Warren Wright’s barn took a crack at the cramped seven furlongs of the 42nd Carter handicap at Aqueduct—far short of his usual route—and al though he closed 20 lengths and was fairly flying at the tinish, he wound up only third to the much traveled Doublrab, owned by Mrs Tilyou Christopher of Miami. There was hardly any doubt among the 25,289 fans, who cheer, ed the Kentucky cannonball jn spite of his defeat, that he would have won in another 15 or 20 yards, so fast was he picking 'em up and laying ’em down at t h t finish. ±sut alter ail, they still pay 0f( on the number that’s hung up on the board, and today it was the four-year-old Son of Sherab. who equalled the track record of 1:23 on footing reated only "godo” in chalking up his third straight stake victory in as many weeks and on as many tracks. At the finish, with Billy Thomp son getting all he could out of the grey sprinter, the colt was a head in front of Mrs. Payne Whitney's Swing and Sway, with Whirlawav another length farther back. W. L. Brann’s Plctor was fourth. In many ways, this was the most remarkable race Whirly ever ran. Not only was he going at a far shorter distance than he likes, but he was loaded with 130 pounds compared to the 120 on the win. ner. What’s more, he was ridden by Jockey Buddy Haas, and it was the first time Buddy and Whirly had ever said “howdy.” Haas never had even handled him in a workout before. At the last minute, Whirlaway's looked-for duel with Lou Tufano's Market Wise, his conqueror in the recent Suburban handicap, was wiped out when the rags-to-riches colt passed the race up. Trainer Georgie Carroll said Market Wise was coughing. A 19.40-for-$2 shot in the Mu tuels, Doublrab picked up $7,250 for his day’s pay. Whirlaway's third-place pay-check was $750. boosting his bankrool to $378,561 in second place on the all-time money-winning list. H. L. Myer’s Sheriff Culkin mid Doublrab ran one-two for the first half mile while Whirly galloped along, as usual, a city block out of it. Half way ’round the stretch turn, Doublrab moved up. As they turned for home, Whirly, on the far outside, turned loose his fa mous kick, but there just wasn’t enough ground for him. 4 t r PIRATES SWAMP GIANTS, 8 TO 1 Bucs Get Seventh Straight Win As They Knock Mel ton Out Of Box PITTSBURGH, June 13.- - The Pittsburgh Pirates won their seventh straight game today, knocking Cliff "Melton out of the box in two innings and breezing to a 8-2 triumph over the N e w York Giants.
