By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 19.—All persons involved in the injury of Joe Medwick, Brooklyn outfielder, were ordered to the office of President Ford Frick of the National League late today for an investigation. Medwick was struck over the left ear yesterday by a ball thrown by Pitcher Bob Bowman of the St. Louis Card-
inals.
President Larry MacPhail of the Dodgers charged
that Bowman deliberately threw a ‘bean ball” and said he had witnesses willing to testify that the pitcher threat-
ened to dust off Medwick.

Dr. John Ateer, attending physi-} cian, said Joe would have to remain in hospital for five or six days, and might not be able to play for 10 days. Pee Wee Reese, Brooklyn rookie shortstop, who was hit in the head in a similar accident in Chicago June 1 hasn't been able to play since and may be out a few days longer. MacPhail was so incensed by Bowman's “duster” which struck Medwick above the ear on the left side of the head, that he took a punch at the 25-year old Cardinal pitcher as he was being ta
the St. Louis clubhouse by two private detectives. A wild right knocked th

The trouble between Bowman and Medwick started in an elevator of a [hotel yesterday morning. The Cardinals stop at the same hotel where [anager Leo Durocher and his pal, Medwick, live.

Harriett Wins Over Dorothy Ellis, One Up, 20 Holes;
Carelyn Varin Beats Mrs. Stonehouse, 4-and-3
Mrs. Ochiltree ‘Shines on Incoming Nine
BULLETIN
Mary Gorham qualified to meet Mrs. Ochiltree in a semi-final
match tomorrow morning by scora |
ing 3-and-2 victory over Mrs, Robert Laycock of Pleasant Run in the city women’s golf tourney this afternoon,
By J. E. O'BRIEN Mrs. Harriett Randall Ochiltree moved ahead in her quest for another city women’s golf crown today by defeating
Dorothy Ellis, one up, 20
holes. |
Although Mrs. Ochiltree was never in the lead until the decisive hole, she fought ee brilliantly on the incoming nine to erase -the twohole margin Miss Ellis had at the turn, Defiinitely off jon her short
game when the match Ochiltree recovered this and combined it with her usually powerful long game for the triumph. Mrs. Ochiltree thrilled the gallery of more than 100 with birdies on h holes, and it was this under-par shooting that eventually brought her the victory.
Dorothy Wins First Three
Miss Ellis won the first three holes as the result of deftness with the putter and short iron and Harriett was unable to win a hole until they came to the fifth. She took this one and also the seventh but went
two down again on No. 9 when she landed in one of the sand piles bordering the green. Carolyn Varin, another Meridian Hills sharpshooter who can’t be left out of the title picture, rolled along with a 4-and-3 decision over Pleasant Run’s Mrs. Peggy Stonehouse. Again in this case it was cool play on the back nine that was responsible for the win. The two girls were all even at the turn and Miss Varin took the next two holes and clinched the victory by undershooting her opponent on Nos. 13 and 14. Mrs. Charles Greathouse, a Woodstock entrant, was carried to 17 holes before defeating Mrs. Dale Lentz of Hillcrest 2-and-1.
Greenfield Races

Due Sunday
Times Special
GREENFIELD, Ind. June 19.—
The third speed program of the
season is scheduled for the Greenfield race track here next Sunday. Outstanding drivers of the Ken-
tucky-Indiana Racing Association are entered. Ray Tellis of Indianapolis is anxious to repeat his performance o several weeks ago when he defeat Slim Rutherford of Whiting, Ind., on the last lap in the last race here. Rutherford won the first race by an easy margin over Tellis who finished second in that race, the first of the season. Chick Smith of Frankfort, Ky., the 1938-39 Kentucky -Indiana champion, will defend his title in Sunday’s race with a brand new car, said to be a fast one. Tough competition will be furnished by such outstanding drivers as Vern Trester, Bus Wilbert, Fritz Commers, Norman Hauser and CIiff Griffen, all of Indianapolis.

Time trials will get under way at noon with the main race program scheduled to start at 2:30 p. m. The Greenfield track is located 16 miles east. of Indianapolis on the National Road.
Cane word led to another and Bowman is said to have told Durocher
and Medwick, “I'll hit both of you rieht in the head.” MacPhail claims to have six witnesses to prove Bowman made the remark. “You won't be in there when I get to bat,” Durocher said. His. reark proved prophetic. The first three men who faced Bowman made hits off him, and he was taken out after he hit Medwick. Durocher bats eighth in the batting order.
Medwick was carried off the field Tol
on a stretcher to the Dodger dressing room, There he had to be restrained. He wanted to gorout and “get” Bowman. The Cardinals won the game, 7.5, |B i
inning. It was [the Cards’ sixth straight victory under Billy Southworth and the Dodgers’ fourth raight. defeat, their longest losing oi eak of the year, Enos Slaughter’s homer with a mate on in the eighth tied the score, 5-5. A wild throw
by Johnny Hudson, who replaced (St.
Durocher, permitted the winning run to score. Doubles by Cooper-and Stu Martin added another tally.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 19. —Move oyer you Brooklyn Dodgers, Dizzy Dean, Rube Waddell and other scr ewballs| of sports. Make way for the Poughkeepsie Regatta. | Its 43d running yesterday lasted so long it threatened to become a two-day affair. Washington won the varsity and junior varsity races, and Cornell salvaged the freshman race for the East. But the technical details must take second place to the fantastic staging. Al Ulbrickson, Washington coach, still was screaming at an early hour boys won. ; Ulbrickson particularly flayed the officials for the climax of a screwy day that saw the junior varsity race halted once because four of the starters swamped at the mile mark and then went out and rowed again in darkness that would make the black hole of Calcutta look like Broadway on New Year's Eve. When the varsity started, it was an even affair until shortly after the two-mile post when it was strictly between Cornell and Washington. THe Huskies turned on the heat and

Pytlak Skips
CLEVELAND, June 19 (U. P.).—|; The Cleveland Indians, still recovering from their three-day dissension period in which the removal of Manager Oscar Vitt was demanded, were confronted with another problem today when it was revealed that Catcher ¥rankie Pytlak had returned to his home in Buffalo, N. Y., without permission.
Claiming that he was ill, despite assurances of Cleveland physicians]. to the contrary, the catcher went home. Pytlak first left the team in Boston over a week ago. Vitt explained his absence by saying that the catcher returned to Cleveland to’ answer a law suit. The existence of such a suit was denied by club | officials last night. “He returned to Cleveland af that Vice President C. C. Slapnicka said. “We sent him to Dr. Edward Castle and also to the Cleveland Clinic for a complete examination. All of the doctors reported him in. good health.” Despite the reports and the request that he remain here, Pytlak left with the statement that he “wanted to see a doctor in Buffalo.”

Selection of the correct racquet is the first step in tennis. The racquet does a great part of the work. The size of the handle depends on the size of the hands. If you have short, stubby fingers, use a racquet with a 4'4 to 42-inch grip. If your hands are large you should go to 43: to 47s inches. The average woman should use a racquet weighing between 13 and 13% ounces, working up to 13! or 133. Alice Marble Hn a l4-ounce racquet, but she is an gxceptionally | strong girl. Men should use one and 141: ounces. Buy your frame first and’ then have it strung, This insures fresh gut. [1 Keep your racquet in a press when not in use, to prevent warping.
