SPOR TS PA GE 4 ACME POUNDS STARS Back In Stride Three Home Runs In B Contest Getting back into stride, the Acme team walloped the All-Stars of Manuel Ortiz, 14-5. in a R league softball game played Monday night in Imperial. The Acme team was stopped last week by the fast riding City’ of El Centro team, which graobed its third win in as many starts. Acme was behind in the first half of the fourth inning but- from then on was never headed. The Stars pushed across two runs in the first frame while the Acme team could only bring in one. The Stars added one in the second. Acme went into a one-run lead in their half of the frame but lost it again in the third as Ortiz' gang brought in their final scores of the game and led. 5-4. Adding three more in the fourth, one in the fifth and six in the sixth, the beer boys tri umphed easily. FIELDING R IGGED Once again fielding on Ortiz' team was a bit ragged as seven errors were chalked up against the fielders. Manager Bob McCall's*Acme players were close behind in the number of muffs, however, and were credited with five. Two home runs were pounded by Acme, one by Shortstop Bob Danskin and another by First Baseman Guy Holbrook. Danskin’s circuit clout came in the second inning with two men on - base. There was none on when Holbrook went for a 3-0 ball (three balls and no strikes) and sent it into right field for a round trip. Paul Gastellum.

NOW IT’S ’TWIGHT’ BALL Rv PAUL SCHEFFELS NEW YORK, June 16 (UP) The Brooklyn Dodgers, responsible for more innovations in major league baseball than any other club —most of them incredible but all of them interesting introduced "Twight” baseball to 15,157 of the Flatbush faithful last night and the novelty gives promise today of developing in to a regular diamond fixture ■Twight'' baseball is a contest de fined as a cross between a twilight affair and a night game. It is a di rect result of war-time restrictions on outdoor lighting and the nimble brain of Club President Larry Mac- Phail John MacDonald, team sec retary, authored the title. The games are to start promptly at 7 p m. and at sundown, the arc lights will be turned on for exactly one hour. The military authorities allowed MacPhail the hour of arti ficial light and the opposing man agers agreed to forego any stalling tactics. Despite a crush of workers re turning home on the subways, the crowd compared favorably with the average daytime draw of a simi lar game—approximately 8,000. # GIANTS TOO Horace Stoneham, president of the New York Giants, who attended the game, announced that his team Solons Go Up Against Beavers Ry UNITED PRESS The Sacramento Solons, back on I the top of the heap after once hit ting rock bottom, hoped to fatten their percentages this week at the hands of the hapless Portland Beav ■ ers, perennial cellar-dwellers, in Portland.

The attendance last night was far below last year’s night crowd of 32,061 for the same game- The con test ended at 9 p.m , and thus should satisfy the fan, the diamond executives and the Army. The only sour note for Brooklyn was the fact that Pitcher Claude Passeau and the Chicago Cubs walked off with a 6-0 victory, which lifted the Bruins into fifth place, two games out of the first divi sion. Passeau became the first pit cher in either league to win 10 games as he held the Dodgers to five hits The Cubs ganged up on Rookie Ed Head to knock him out in the third. He retired the first two men, but then gave up five hits and three runs, with BilV Nic holson’s double providing the most damage. Chicago clouted Johnny Allen for six hits and three more runs in the next 5 1/3 innings, while Larry French pitched the final frame.

(UP)—Ad vocates of the early to bed, early to rise and avoid wine when it’s red etcetera philosophies are shud dering from the tips of their blue noses to the soles of their button shoes today. For up in Boston the boys are gathered around to swear Punch Bowl Paul Waner into the most exclusive fraternity in base ball—the 3000-Hit club. At last count, the small, wiry and completely convivial outfielder who was born 38 years ago in an Okla homa town with the throat-clearing name of Harrah—and it’s as fine an ant hill as you’d hoped to see— had boosted his total number of hits to 2,998. Barring rain (ssh), Punch Bowl Paul has an excellent chance of climbing over the hump this afternoon. "Then, brothers, let the rounde lays ring loud and ring long. DOESN’T FIT In years past, when Ty Cobb, Ed Collins, Pop Anson, Nan Lajoie, Hans Wagner, and Tris Speaker crashed the golden circle, the bards celebrated the occasion by penning eulogies of their keen eyesight, rigor ous devotion to duty and complete abstainance from the liquid fruit of the grain. Not so today, however, for Punch Bowl Paul just doesn’t fit that pattern. For instance, he can’t see keenly enough to read a billboard or recog nize Brother Lloyd an hour after twilight. The only figures he scans easily are those on his pay-check or behind footlights. It, is reported his eyes have been weak for 17 years. But he didn't realize it until he left Pittsburgh two seasons ago and got a glimpse of the sun. Too, while he is just fair on On again, off again, that's our slogan- Never a dull moment. The Post-Press softball, team had their alibi all worked up even be fore they went into their next B. league softball game but now HAGEN GIVES CHALLENGER LIST FOR RYDER CUP DETROIT, June 16 <UP» The team of challengers which will meet the Ryder Cup defenders at Oakland Hills country club in their third annual charity golf match July 18-19 was announced today by Captain Walter Hagen. Lawson Little, 1940 open cham pion, was named No 1 man on the basis of his showing in the recent Inverness four-ball tournament which he and Lloyd Mangrum won. Two Michigan golfers, Al Wat rous, (Oakland Hills pro, and Mel vin < Chick> Harbet, young Battle Creek pro, were included in Ha gen’s selections- Others picked were Jimmy Thomson, Pebble Beach, Cal.; Sammy Byrd, Philadelphia; Henry Picard, Oklahoma City; Corp Jimmy Turnesa, Fort Mead; Corp. Edward (Porky) Oliver, Camp Dix; Ed Dudley, PGA president; Harry Cooper, Minneapolis; Chand ler Harper, Portsmouth, Va ; Ralph Guldahl, and E. J. (Dutch) Harri son, Oak Park, 111. Hagen announced that all would play- If neither Corp. Oliver nor Corp. Turnesa, PGA finalist, can get furlough, the others will fill the gaps and play both days. The cup team suffered its first defeat on American soil a year ago at the Detroit golf club when Bobby Jones led the challengers to a 7 to 5 victory. Htigen said he would extend an invitation to Jones at the Hale America tourna ment in Chicago this week Jones recently entered the Army air forces and it was doubtful that he could get away. grounders, when it comes to hawk ing •highballs he has no equal. He developed his vaunted right arm with painstaking elbow bending ex ercises. His fluid grace at the plate was evolved after an intensive study of swinging doors. Bio-chemists, the gents who claim alcohol is detri mental to the human body, gave him his nickname—“ Big Poison.” LEGENDS PRODUCED Many legends have been produced during the years since Waner, just a 140-pound youngster with a drawl and an uncanny knack of hitting a ball, came to Pittsburgh from the west coast—tales of his golfing, of his fishing and hunting and of his extra-curricular recreation. The on ly one he ever has denied was the report that he had adopted a milk diet. There is the story of how once, while advancing from second on a hit and run play, he put down his head, dashed madly towards third and started his slide halfway down the base path. As the cloud of dust began thinning Waner heard himself called out. He had missed third by 10 feet and slid instead into a bare spot in the outfield. Then there is the epic yarn con cerning the phantom fly ball. Waner was playing in the outfield when he heard a sharp crack and saw | the ball head towards his position. IHe carefully followed its course j right up into the grandstand and I lunged desperately—only to find I that instead of the hall he had been pursuing an exceptionally large moth. There are other tales, too, but there Is a limit to this space and there are important matters to be listed. For Punch Bowl Paul is one of the truly great hitters of his tory. He has a lifetime average of .338, is the youngest man ever to collect 3,000 hits and has reached his mark four years earlier than any of his predecessors. Waner has knocked more hits than Rogers Hornsby, has a higher percentage than Collins, driven in 500 more runs than Cobb and slap ped out more singles, doubles and triples than Babe Ruth. Only in home runs is his record deficient. And that’s because Waner is a trifle on the small side to be a power hit ter. Another important point, he has struck out only 300-odd times. $F EASY TO tell PRINCE ALBERT |F IS BETTER TOBACCO. IT'S .SSr T [ RICHER-TASTING YET MILDER, IBOHaIfTF fa# L.

The phone boys all have first aid classes on Thursday night and were not supposed to play then but when they found themselves scheduled ( for that night they were a little up a stump- They could either forfeit the game or play another night on another field. After anxious hours they finally wore able to persuade their teacher to let them out of class for the game but only on the condition that it never happens again. So as far as we can see now it looks like the game is on again for Thursday night, and believe it or not, in the big park.
