CARDINALS TRIUMPH OVER NEW YORK, 4 TO 3 Sports HoHge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. (Pinch-Hitting For Carle Hodge) NEW YORK, June 15.— (ff) —Speaking from the de tached viewpoint of a player who has been cast out of the league where he spent the best years of his baseball life and who hasn’t yet become acquainted with his new circuit, Jimmy Foxx figures that he may get into a pennant race before the season ends. Jimmie points out cautiously that he has only seen three rival National league clubs since he became a member of the Chicago Cubs, but he doesn’t believe the * Brooklyn Dodgers are as outstanding a team as the Yankees are in the American league. The way he looks at it, the Dodgers are best, but both Cincinnati and St. Louis are capable of giving them a tussle and the Cubs, Giants and Pirates all have the stuff to make trouble. “Brooklyn got off to a good start,” he says, “but they can come back fast. There ought to be a great scramble for places.” Just what part he may play in the scramble, Jimmie declines to say. He was limping around today with a pain ful charley horse — the first of his career. The cracked ribs that contributed to his decline and fall as a Boston Red Socker still give him occasional twinges and he pointed out that he started the season with a broken toe. So it’s quite obvious that Jimmy doesn’t believe he has played his best ball so far this year. “I shouldn’t be playing, but Stan Hack broke a couple of ribs so I had to go in,” he remarked. “It’s funny, but every time there’s something wrong, you have to run a lot. I got on base three times last night and I really had to run on that three-bagger.” So far, Jimmie hasn’t been able to see much difference in the way American and National leaguers play ball. “I’ve seen a lot of soft stuff, if that’s what they mean by calling the National a curve-ball league,” he commented. “As far as I’ve seen, the American has bet ter pitching, but I will say one thing—over here the young pitchers really pitch. They don’t just rear back and throw. In the American they pick a big, strong boy and say ‘he’ll learn to pitch.’ Here they don’t let him learn by himself, they take him out and teach him.” And what was the ex-American leaguer’s opinion of the race in the junior circuit? It was emphatic: “The Yankees are the best, from the manager on down. They’re about ten games ahead now. In another two months it will be twenty.” O’Connor Leads Tests For Carolinas Tourney GREENSBORO, June 16.—(JP)— Blond Mary Clay O’Connor, defend ing champion from Durham, took a strangle hold on the 1942 Caro linas girls golf championship wheD she captured low qualifying hon ors here today to grab a three stroke lead over her nearest chal lenger at the halfway mark. Miss O’Connor, a big favorite to successfully defend the title she won here last year, toured the dif ficult Starmount Forest Country club layout in 83 strokes, seven over women’s par for the 18-hole distance, and took a thi-ee-stroke lead over Salisbury’s Majorie Burns, former local girl and win ner of the inaugural in 1940. -V Lesnevich Is Unable To Fight Mose Brown ( PITTSBURGH, June 16. — UP) — Gus Lesnevich will be unable to defend his light heavyweight cham pionship here June 29 against Mose Brown, McKeesport negro, the Rooney-McGinley Boxing Enter prise announced tonight.

De Loach of the Wilmington Navy recruiting offiee. -V LONE RAIDER AN ENGLISH SOUTH CO AS! TOWN, Wednesday, June 17.—UP)— A lone l-aider dropped bombs neai here early this morning. Nighl fighters engaged it. Carleton Finds Rest ---In Plane Factory - w SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS, June 16.—!#)—After seventeen tumultous years in baseball, Tex Carleton. figured he had a rest coming. So he got a job in a roaring bombing plant! Tex landed on the receiving desk of the new Consolidated Aircraft corporation Texas unit which turns out the B-24D four-engined heavy bombers for the Army. All day long it’s a mad house. The bronzed, black-haired major leaguer who pitched a no-hit game as his swan song in 1940, leaned back in a chair and sighed: "I gave up baseball because I wanted peace and quiet. This is what I got." Carleton left Texas Christian university in 1925 to enter professional ball with Texar kana of the East Texas league. He went from hitches at Houston and Rochester to the St. Louis Cardinals where he got his first chance to pitch in a world series game. Sold to the Chicago Cubs he helped them win pennants in 1935 and 1938. "But the old arm went bad,” Tex reminisced. “I was shipped to the minors and when my arm came back Brooklyn bought me.” As a comparative "old man” in baseball, he had one of his better years, including that no hitter against Cincinnati. Last season he helped coach Montreal. Does he miss the excitement of the ball park? "To tell the truth,” Carle ton mused, "I knew I was about washed up in the ma jors and had nowhere to go in baseball. I had a good home paid for and rather than kick around the minors I quit.” lie’s directing the plant ath letic program for thousands of Consolidated employes. 27 JAP BOMBERS ASSAULT DARWIN (Continued From Page One) described as "negligible.” At the same time, Allied planes were busy in two other sectors, both on the partially Japanese-oc cupied island of New Britain. At Lae and Salamaua, on the northern coast of the island, heavy day and night attacks on enemy installations were carried out, the communique said. Allied pilots scored direct hits and several fires were started. On the southern coast, in Allied territory, interceptor planes rose to meet a force of 18 Japanese fighters and destroyed four of them. Four of the Allied planes were reported missing. “This action against superior numbers prevented an attack on our ground installations,” the com munique said. The text of the communique: "Timor: Our air force success fully bombed the airdrom area at Koepang. “Darwin: A strong enemy forma tion of 27 heavy bombers escorted by 25 Zero fighters attacked the township and harbor area. Dam age was negligible. Our intercep tors destroyed one bomber and one fighter. “Lae and Salamau: Our air force executed a heavy day and night attack on enemy air installations, starting fires and scoring direct hits on the target area. On their return from their mission, Allied bombs and their fighter escort shot down four enemy planes. One of our fighters is missing. “Port Moresby: In a sharp com bat, our interceptors engaged a strong force of IP enemy fight ers and destroyed four. We have four planes missing. This action against superior numbers prevent ed an attack on our ground insti llations.” LOW SCORES DUE IN HALE MEET Top-Flight Golf Stars Prac tice At Ridgemoor For Big Tourney Thursday CHICAGO, June 16.—(A*)—Scor ing promises to run extremely low in the Hale America National Open golf tournament starting a four day run at the Ridgemoor Country club Thursday. The 107 stars gathering for a shot at the ?11C first prize figure to whisk around the compact course with a mini mum of exercise. Par for the course is 71, but thal is for club members. Actually, the championship layout measure; only 6,519 yards and that means it is about par 68 for the nation's top ranking players who will b« breezing around for four days, Eighteen hole rounds will be play ed each day, winding up Sunday One good sized wager was made in the club house today that a score of 274 would be required tc win the important event. Thai would require four rounds undei 69. Most of the big name players had a crack at the layout this aft ernoon. The most prominent ab sentee was Sammy Snead, winnei of the recent Professional Golfers’ association championship at At lantic City and now in the Navy. It was believed that Snead had failed to obtr I i a furlough. On hand, however, was Sergeant Jim Turnesa, whom Snead conuered in the PGA final. All of the entrants, incidentally, will have to buy admission tickets for their wives. There were none of the usual complimentaries for anybody. The receipts of the tour nament will be divided equally be tween the Navy relief and the USO The players reported that the course required them to place their tee shots accurately and that from there on it was only a ques tion of whether they could plant a short iron near enough to score a birdie. Each ' of the so-called “long” holes, they said, was a cinch to be reached in two shots. Lawson Little, in his first prac tice round, scored 33-33-66. John ny Dawson, the semi-professional who has applied for reinstatement as an amateur, went around in 68. “It’s the kind of a course all championships should be played on,” said Little with obvious sa - isfaction. Bobby Jones, who goes on duty as a captain in the Air Corps, June 20, turned up in mid-afternoon for a practice round, tomorrow, as a preliminary to the main 72-ho.e event, the Georgian is scheduled to play an 18-hole round with Bob Hope, comic of stage, screen and radio. -V Teddy Prior Pacing Atlantic Tennis Meet CHARLOTTE, June 16. — (£>) — Top-seeded Teddy Prior of New Orleans continued his advance to ward the finals in the junior sing les’ division of the annual Mid-At lantic tennis tournament here to day.

June 16.—The St. Louis Cardinals sliced a half game off the Brooklyn Dodgers’ National league lead today as they opened their eastern invasion with a 4 to 3 ten-inning victory over the New York Giants. Enos Slaughter’s fifth homer of the year, off Carl Hubbell in the extra frame, gave the Cards their margin of victory and boosted them within 4 1-2 games of the idle bums. That four-bagger was the second extra base wallop of the game lor slaughter and ruined King Carl’s otherwise fancy bid for his second win of the year. As a result, he was charged with his sixth defeat in allowing ten hits and fanning five over the full ten-inning route. Howie Pollet opened on the mound for the Cards, but after serving up a home - run ball to Hank Leiber in the fourth and an other to Johnny Mize in the sixth, he was given a one-way ticket to the showers and John Beasley took over. The rookie from Nashville blanked the Giants with two hits the rest of the way for his first big league triumph. 3 The score by innings: R H E St. Louis _011 001 000 1—4 10 0 New York _ 010 101 000 0—3 7 0 Runs batted in: Marion, 2; Wietk, W.
