The Sports Trail
By
Whitney Martin
NEW YORK, Jane 13.—(fP)—Fred Corcoran is home
on furlough from his duties as director of Red Cross sports
programs in England, his busy head jam-packed with mem
ories of experiences, ideas for improving his service to
service men,, and stories of English experiences of famed
American sports figures, such as Gene Sarazen and Bobby
Jones and Walter Hagen.
Particularly Walter Hagen, as that gaudy individual
had the knack 'of doing things and saying things that
caught the fancy of the public
and long will be remembered.
In fact, there was not room
enough in Corcoran’s head for all
the Hagan yarns. Some he carried
on top, like a spare head of hair.
Just before he left he had picked
up a small golf magazine and
stuffed it in the crown of his ser
vice cap, forgetting it until he ar
rived here.
This magazine had a caricature
of a grinning, carefree Hagen on
the cover, with the notation, the
most bizarre champion the game
has ever known.”.
The story inside, which does not
necessarily mean it's an inside sto
ry is titled: ‘‘Hagen Finishes,
and deals more with his colorful
cockiness than his well-known ac
complishments.
It points out that Sir Walter was
a colorful character, literally,
from his first apperance at a ma
jor tournament. That was in 1912.
The Giants might have bfen
caught asleep on the Litwhiler
deal We wouldn’t know about that.
Maybe the Phils wanted more
cash than the Giants were ready
to pay, but more probably they
wanted whom the Cards had and
the Giants didn’t have.
When one of the heaviest hitters
in the league was put on the open
market, who got him? The Giants.
That gent is Ernie Lombardi, who
seemed fed up with Boston and in
tent on staying on the west coast.
The Giants put out $50,000 and
a mess of ball players to get
Johnny Mize when they thought
he would help them, which he
did.
The point is that the club is not
adverse to buying and trading
when they can see an even break,
but that it is difficult to buy play
ers when nobody wants to sell,
or trade for players when you
haven't much to offer in the swap.
The clubs just aren’t putting
their good players on the market
right now. Lombardi was an ex
ception, with the circumstances so
exceptional, and the Giants grab
bed for him first. Dahlgren was
a sleeper. The Litwhiler deal was
an exception, but, as pointed out,
it is probable the Cards had some
thing to offer/the Giants couldn’t
offer.
What players would you have
the Giants acquire, anyway, to
give them new life? Sure, you
might say Dolph Camilli or Martin
Marion or Mort Cooper or Johnny
Vander Meer. But you couldn’t
pry such gys lose witoh gold crow
bars.
The good men all are sewed up,
and, the man-power situation be
ing as it is, will remain so. The
Giants might make some deals in
volving second-raters, but where
would their profit be in that?
The Giant losses to the armed
services were among the heaviest.
They can’t buy, or trade for, play
ers to replace gents like Mize and
Babe Young and Willard Marshall.
They’re just in a spot where they
have to sit and take it, so vre’d
be in favor of leaving them alone.

College Representatives
Meet Today To Dis
cuss Program
SAN FRANCICOO, June 13 —(JP)
—Faced with the most serious
emergency in its 28-year life, re
presentatives of the Pacific Coast
conference meet Monday in an
effort to adjust the 1943 college
football schedule to war tempo.
That revisions, possibly drastic,
are necessary to carry the fall
sport of millions through to a
successful conclusion was an ac
cepted fact. Whether the 10-mem
ber circuit, sprawled over the
states of California, Oregon, Wa
shington, Idaho and Montana, will
even open the season intact was
considered problematical.
In advance of the meeting, ex
pected to run two, possibly three
days. There was doubt whether
the universities of Montana and
Idaho would field football teams
next September. *
Washington State College is
plagued with similar difficulty in
the matter of lack of player man
power. Stanford, aristocratic mem
ber of the southern division, like
wise admits a dearth of experien
ced talent.
To lesser degrees every school
in the conference has been hard
hit by inductions and calls of ath
letes into the armed forces. Those
members, however, which have
been designated as navy training
centers appear to be more fortun
ately situated than their rivals.
These include the universities
of Washington and Southern Cali
fornia. California, at Berkeley,
and at Los Angeles, also have
navy programs.

With Rally
NEW YORK, June 13.—UP)—'The

header today, but lost the second'
6 to 3 as the Phillies rallied for
four runs in the ninth inning.
The climax of this uprising was
a double by Babe Dahlgren with
the bases loaded and it need not
have happened. Dahlgren first
was hit by pitched ball, but the
Giants argued that he had step
ped into the pitch. Umpire Beans
Reardon ordered him to bal
again and this time he doubled.
Newt Kimball, who pitched four
innings of hitless ball, received
credit for the victory. Sid Gordon

Squeeze Bunt By White
Sends In Two Runs To
Win First
PHILADELPHIA, June 13.—
The Athletics took both ends of a
doubleheader from the first place
New York Yankees today as a
crowd of 32,117 chortled in glee at
Shibe Park.
An old fashioned squeeze bunt
by Jo Jo White that caught the
Yankee infield napping in the
eighth ining with three on and two
out gave the A’s the opener, 5 to
3.'Timely hitting by outfielder 30
year-old Jim Tyack, up from Lit
tle Rock of the Southern Associa
tion, coupled with effective pitch
ing by Roger Wolff, won the night
cap, 3 to 2.
Tyack, who banged out five hits
in seven trips to the plate in the
twin bill, drove in all three runs
in the second game. He socked Bill
Zuber for a triple with two on in
the first inning and singled White
home with the wining run in the
eighth inning after Elmer Valo had
meen thrown out at the plate on a
good throw by Charley Keller. In
addition, Tyack singled home
White in the seventh inning of the
opener that tied the score at 3-3.
This later blow by Tyack sent
the Yanks Hank Borowy to the
showers. Marius Russo came in,
but was yanked in the eighth after
singles by Pete Suder and Irv Hall
and a sacrifice by Hal Wagner.
Johnny Murphy relieved him and
got Everett Fagan, but walked Va
lo to load the sacks.
With two away the Yank infield
played deep and got crossed up by
cagy Connie Mack who ordered
White to lay down a surprise bunt.
White did, squeezing Suder home
and when Murphy threw wild to
the plate Hall also scored.
The Yanks touched Russ Chris
; topher and Fagan for only four
hits in the opener, but three of
them — Johnny Lindell’s double
and Ken Sears’ single and a three
bagger by Borowy — were bunch
ed in the fifth for all of the New
Yorkers’ tallies.

This Week May Decide
Winner In Ship Loops
Now tied for the lead in the
North Side league of the North
Carolina Shipbuilding company,
the Fitters and the Erectors will
meet Wednesday in a game that
will probably decide for the
North Side championship race for
the first half.
Each team has a game apiece
before Wednesday, the Fitters
meeting the Steel Storage on Mon
day and the Erectors and the sec
ond-place Shipwrights play Tues
day. The Shipwrights, by winning
their next two games, could also
end in a tie for the league lead.
Managers of the two leagues
will meet at the shipyard Monday
to decide the question of player
eligibility, brought about by the
alleged use of a Cape Fear league
player by the Erectors in a game
last week.
In the South Side league, play
has narrowed to three top teams,
the Machinists, the Electricians
and the Painters, who are leading
the league in that order.
This week's highlight in the
South Side loop will be the Mai

Pittsburgh Wins Opener
But Cards Tie Nightcap
- L-___—
Final Game Is Called On
Darkness At Close
Of Twelfth
ST. LOUIS, June 13 —(/P)— In
as weird a doubleheader as the
fans had witnessed all season, the
Pittsburgh Pirates jerked out of
a batting lethargy to win the op
ener, 10 to 3, in a wild hitting
spree and then held the world
champion Cardinals to a 12-inning
4 to 0 tie in the nightcap, called
on account of darkness.
There were no holes in the bats
of players tod-ay. In the two games
which consumed 5 hours and 51
minutes, there was a total of 52
hits, including 11 doubles, 2 triples
and one home run. Of the total the
Cards collected 27 hits, 8 doubles
and 2 triples.
The Pirates won their first game
from the Redbirds this season in
the opener, reaping a harvest of
seven runs the first frame and
obliterating two hurlers before
Murry Dickson finally halted the
fiasco.
The Pirates scored in the first
inning on two walks, a wild pitch
and an outfield fly. They added
another in the third on a single, a
pair of walks and an outfield fly.
However, the Cards came back
strong in their half of' the third
to push across three counters.
The Cards added another run
in the sixth on a single, sacrifice
and double, but the Pirates in the
next inning tied the count on El
bie Fletcher’s third home run of
the year with a man on base.
There matters stood until dark
ness forced a halt to activities.
The Cardinals had men in scoring
position from the ninth on but
couldn’t touch Klinger for the de
ciding run. On the other hand,
Lefty Max Lanier, who replaced
Howie Krist in the eighth, allowed
only one hit the 4 2-3 innings he
hurled. Klinger went all the way
for Pittsburgh.

Brooklyn
BROOKLYN, June 13.—(A*)—The
Brooklyn Dodgers had to battle to
keep from dropping a double
header to the Boston Braves to
day, but managed to snare a 3 to
2 victory in the second game aft
er losing the opener 4 to 3.
The authority for the triumph
in the nightcap was provided by
Billy Herman with an eight-inn
ing home run off George Jeff coat
after Paul Waner had singled.
Previously the Doagers had
counted a run in the seventh to
break a scoreless pitching duel
between Jim Tobin and Bobo
Newsom. Tobin was removed for
a pinch runner after starting a
two-run rally in the top of the
eighth with a single. Eddie Joost
doubled and John McCarthy sin
gled for the runs. The Braves
tried another rally in the ninth
but Kirby Higbe, relieving New
som with two on and none out,
halted the threat.
In the first game the Braves
scored twice in the first on a
walk, a triple by McCarthy and
a wild throw by Augie Galan and
collected two more runs in the
seventh on two singles and a dou
ble by pitcher Nate Andrews to
