Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE Up in College Park, Maryland, Clark Shaughnessy is injecting into the University of Maryland program some thing unusual and surprising and logical for June of 1942. He is putting the capital “A” back on athletics, emphasiz ing the importance of physical training at a time when other big schools are shying away from broad sports set ups. Shaughnessy is not thinking of sports in terms of a razzle-dazzle eleven-man football team nor of a basketball or baseball squad. Building up bodies of the entire student body is the job he is going to tackle, and he hopes to have 500 boys playing football come this fall. It’s his idea of all-out physical strength for an Amer ica at war. Lifted eyebrows were slightly in evidence throughout the Land of Stadia when the veteran Stanford coach went to Terp Town as director of physical education during the winter. Speculations were that Maryland was after greater football teams. But now the sidewalk quarterbacks realize that the university is really seeking something far more important, much deeper than a Rose Bowl bid—for physical fitness is man’s greatest resource in time of peace, his greatest asset in time of battle. Shaughnessy and the Maryland regents are proving two neglected theories: More, not less, sports are needed during war. Athletic training is needed by everyone, not just the grid team. That is horse sense. Sports carbon: Ponders the Winston-Salem Sentinel’s Nady Cates: “There has been a regrettable dearth in good old fish stories. I think the tire shortage has something to do with it ... A lot of those whoppers that used to get away were old tires, anyway.” * * * In Esquire again this month—if you’ll forget the art on pretty figgers long enough to find it—is the regular sports poll. And this month golf is the topic. Most of those who answered the questions thought (1) National tournaments should not have been cancelled for the duration; (2) Match play is a better test of ability than medal play; (3) A less-lively “victory” ball would not lessen the fun of playing. And so on. But the amazing thing is that most of the answerers believe they can actually improve their game by reading on golf and seeing movie stars in action. We’ve never known a really good golfer yet who could attribute any of his skill at all to reading. And certainly there is nothing more nauseating than being forced to watch slow-motion pictures of a misplaced pro whacking away while one is waiting to see Lana Turner. In the first place, the audience is looking the wrong direction to derive any benefit from seeing the actor shoot. But, oh well, everyone to his own opinion. * * * And it is golf’s big week with the Hale America on tap at Chicago’s Ridgemoor. In reality, the Hale is the National Open disguised in the Stars and Stripes. All the players and pomp will be there, while the gallery is ex pected to be the largest ever. On hand will be the three greatest golfers of all time —Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen. Between the 18 champions entered, on the record is a total of 68 big tournaments won. Despite the fact that Nelson, Hogan and Sneed are the favorites, the eyes of many followers will affectionately be on one man, Bobby Jones. It will be the old master’s first national championship play since 1930 and perhaps his last. Suffolk Meet Postponed As Owners Call Strike BOSTON, June 15.— UP)—'T h e first horsemen’s strike in the 10 year-old history of New England pari-mutuel racing—a strike over demands for increases in all purses—today resulted in the can cellation of tomorrow’s eight-race program at Suffolk Downs. That action resulted when only eight of the 100-odd thoroughbreds quartered at the track, represent Ing almost 200 different owners, were designated as starters in to morrow’s overnight events.

June 15.— UP) — Ted Williams, who a month ago was plodding along the Ameri can league batting trail at a .287 pace, scarcely a shadow of the .406 with which he won the 1941 hitting title, has an chored himself well up in the .330's through Sunday’s games. That’s not good news for his slugging rivals nor for the league’s pitching corps. The Boston Red Sox blast er, his average hoisted clear to .340 two weeks ago, fell to .324 in seven days but with a week’s effort of nine hits in 20 times at bat came up to .337, good enough for fifth in the lat est tabulation. The real contest thus far. however, is between a pair of second basemen, Joe Gordon of the New York Yankees and Bobby Doerr of the Red Sox. Gordon's mark fell seven points in seven days to .386, while Doerr remained stationary at .375 and therefore trails by only 11 points. Last week’s No. 2 man, Bill Dickey of the Yanks, dropped a point to .345 and saw his po sition endangered not only by Williams' rush but also by a surge by Les Fleming, the Cleveland Indians’ first base man. Fleming, tied a week ago in eighth with Ted, rallied 15 points worth to move up to fourth with a .339. After Williams come Stan Spence of Washington, .329; Buddy Hassett of New York, .328; John Pesky of Boston, .324; Jeff Heath of Cleveland, .312, and Bruce Campbell of ■Washington .310. Williams’ improved hitting aided him to maintain his hold on the lead in three specialty departments. He’s first in runs batted in with 63. in home runs with 15 (unchanged from last week), and in runs scored with 55. Spence has a grip on a couple of sidelines, leading in total hits with 78 and tied with Heath for most triples with seven. Mike Higgins of the Detroit Tigers holds the edge in doubles with 20 and Joe Kuhel of the Chicago White Sox and George Case of Washington are ahead in stolen bases with 11 apiece. Plans Made For Visit Of Mrs. Rickenbacker Tentative plans for Mrs. Eddie Rickenbacker's talk here Thursday on women’s war volunteer work were made yesterday in a meeting at the Tide Water Power building of representatives of women's clubs, army personnel and civilian defense heads. The wife of the famed World War I flier is to speak in the suyierior courtroom and the courthouse at 11 o’clock. The following committee was ap pointed to be in charge of the program: Mrs. A. H. Elliot, Cape Fear Garden club, chairman; Miss Emma Bellamy Williamson, N. C. Society of Colonial Dames; Mrs. R. C. McCarl, Daughters of Amer ican Revolution; Miss Dorothy Forbes, Junior Sorosis; and Mrs. R. J. Grady, Thursday Morning Music club. Tentative plans were made for a luncheon to honor Mrs. Ricken backer Thursday at 1:30 o’clock at the Governor Dudley Inn. Rep resentatives of all the women’s organizations in the city will be invited. The club representatives agreed to invite all members of their organizations in order to assure a large attendance at the meeting. Major Oscar C. Tigner, Regional Signal Officer, told the group Mrs. Rickenbacker was being brought here through the First Fighter Command in an effort to stimu late interest to the women’s part in the aircraft warning system. “Until more definite work can be done in the WAAC, we are entirely dependent upon volunteer women to carry on the important work at the Wilmington Informa tion and Filter Center,” said Ma jor Tigner. The most important job is standing by, doing nothing, but being prepared and alert to the job. Since the Center opened, many women have lost interest, because a lot of the time they sit around talking, and have noth ing specific to do. But we have trained them to do the job—when it happens.” “Some of the volunteers have dropped off the list because of domestic inconveniences or they have moved to new residences. We should have an enlarged num ber of volunteers in order to take care of this situation.” “Because of the WAAC publicity many women may think that the Army is taking over the work at the filter center and stop coming to work. We are going to use WAAfc, but it will be at least another 12 months. We expect to send women to Fort Des Moines for WAAC training to be used at the local center, but, meanwhile, we need volunteers. We must be prepared at all times and we must have workers.” Sheriff C. David Jones, com mander of civilian defense, and George L. Stearns, secretary of New Hanover Defense Council, im pressed upon the women the im portance of having a large at tendance to hear Mrs. Ricken backer and helped to outline the program. -V GOVERNORS CONFERENCE RALEIGH, June 15.—(/P)—Thir ty-eight state governVs have ac cepted invitations to the National Governors’ conference at Asheville June 21-24 and three others are expected to accept this week, Sec retary of State Thad Eure reported today.

June 15— (£) — With the help of Babe Barna’s Dooming bat and Prince Hal Schu macher’s air-tight elbowing, the New York Giants thumped the Pi rates 6 to 2 today to split their current series at two games apiece Barna knocked in one run in the fourth inning with a s m a s ing triple and sent two more over in the ninth with his second homer of the year. He also helped along a run-making rally in the eighth with a two - bagger. Schumacher handcuffed the Bucs with two hits for seven innings, then eased up and coasted in with a seven-hitter for his fourth victory of the sea son. Altogether, the Giants tagged Max Butcher and Ken Heintzel man for an even dozen hits, among them Manager Mel Ott’s eighth round-trip wallop of the campaign. This came in the ninth inning, and, with Barna’s belt, made it a gaudy three-run spree for the Giants in that session. The Giants got off in front on singles by Mickey Witek and Bill Werber for a run in the third and were never headed. Barna's three bagger, after Johnny Mize was safe on a fumble, added a run in the fourth and a single. Barna’s double and another error made it 3-0 in the eighth before the Pi rates came to life. In the Buc half of the eighth, Ed Stewart opened with a pinch double and Elbie Fletcher whack ed a two-bagger off the right field screen for one run. Then Bob El liott hit the right field wall for a triple to send the only other Pitts burgh tally across.
