SPORTS... By Eddie Ash
ANNOUNCEMENT that Tony Hinkle has been named to direct the football coaching staff at the Great Lakes naval training station puts another feather in the cap of the popular former Butler university athletics director and all Indianapolis is proud of the new honors
bestowed upon him.
Although it means additional responsibility and longer hours, close friends of Lieut. Paul D. Hinkle know he will tackle the job with the same energy that he displayed for years while, coaching the Butler Bulldogs and directing them to many victories on the gridiron, diamond and basketball court. Lieut. Hinkle rightfully belongs in that “horse for work” category as it seemed that he was always a tireless worker at Butler when
pointing the Bulldogs for a new opponent.
. Hinkle’s regular
duties at Great Lakes will continue—the training of recruits—and his duties as head of the grid staff will be. extra. . . . The staff will be made up of officers now on duty at the station. Lieut, Hinkle has served under Lieut. Comm. J. Russell Cook,
Great
akes athletic officer, since last March. , . . Lieut. Comm. Cook
formerly directed sports at Central Normal college, Danville, Ind.
#2 #8
IN HIS college sports years at the University of Chicago, Hinkle participated in football, basketball and soccer and he was well posted on athletics when he entered coaching after world war I. Great Lakes has mapped out an ambitious football program and {ts schedule calls for many big games, mainly with Big Ten teams
and Notre Dame. . . .
The Sailors’ grid talent is in good hands and
that Hinkle touch is sure to streamline the team. , . + Good luck,
Tony!
Walter Mails, at 47, Joins Marines
WALTER MAILS, a southpaw pitcher of renown in the majors * two decades ago, is now at the San Diego naval training base where he will undergo an eight-week training course before being assigned to duty under Uncle Sam. , .. He's 47 years old and had tried to enlist three times since Pearl Harbor. The way was cleared for him recently when the marines created its new class of recruits, known as class 4, designed for older men who will replace younger men in continental United States and
make them available for combat duty... .
Mails had been connected
with the San Francisco club in the capacity of publicity man since 1938 and the job will be kept open for him until after the war.

THE CHICAGO CUBS now have. two righthanded pitchers whose names are pronounced the same but spelled differently, Paul Erick-
son and Dick Errickson.
. +. The latter was acquired recently from
the Boston Braves at the waiver price of $7500.
Similarity in player names is nothing new to Cub fans... .
Sev-
eral years ago the Bruins’ roster contained Billy Herman, Babe Her-
man and Leroy Herrmann.
Chinese Outfielder Joins Lookouts
JOE ENGEL, colorful Chattanooga president, added a Chinese player to the Lookout squad recently in the person of George Ho, an outfielder who had a trial with Hartford of the Eastern league. . Engel’s squad also includes three Cubans and a Mexican, Byron Speece, the old submarine hurler who used to toss ‘em up for the Indianapolis Indians, is still fooling ’em in the Pacific
Coast league. . .
. Working for Portland, he recently defeated Oak-
land, 2 to 1, in 11 innings. . . . He’s one of the oldest starting pitchers
in the loop.

CHICAGO, July 2¢ (U. P).~— Bruce Smith, Minnesota speedster,
regained the top place among the
half-backs today in the balloting to select the all-star college football
team which will face the Chicago Bears in Soldier field Aug. 28. Smith had led the field until a sudden spurt put Steve Juzwik of Notre Dame in the top spot yesterday. Smith now leads Juzwik by about 2000 votes. Dick Erdlitz, Northwestern continued to lead his teammate Don Kruger for the quarterback post. Erdlitz has received almost 250,000 votes—the highest of any player in the balloting this year. The voting closes Sunday night.

After several months of waiting for a return match, Coach Billy Thom gets his wishes granted on the outdoor wrestling card next Tuesday night at Sports Arena where he will engage Ali Pascha, bearded Hindu, in an “all out” encounter. Ali triumphed over Thom here last winter and the latter has been “asking and asking” for another opportunity to oppose the darkskinned mat star who has been here 14 times and lost but once and then in an over-weight bout.

a par four to even the match. Both women parred the short eighth hole. Ellis hooked her drive into the rough taking four shots to reach the green. She two-putted for a double-bogey and Varin won the
‘| hole with a bogey five.
Varin, 1 Up at Turn
Miss Varin carded a 41, four over par, on the front nine to Miss Ellis’ 42, and led 1 up as they made the turn. Taking hold of her game Miss Ellis fired away on the homestretch for a two under par 37. On the par three No. 11 Miss Varin was on the
j |inside with her tee shot but Miss . {Ellis countered with a beautiful
25-foot putt for a birdie 2 to even the match. Miss Ellis won No. 12 with a par

The two school teachers matched stroke for stroke on the next four holes carding even par.
Putt Lips Cup
On the 18th their drives laid almost side by side. Miss Ellis cut loose with a mighty wood shot to carry the worst hazard on the course, a deep gulley with kneehigh grass. Miss Varin’s second shot caught the far end of the gulley and fell into the deep grass. Her third shot dropped to the left of the green while Miss Ellis chipped up in good shape. Trying desperately to stave off another lost hole Miss Varin’s fourth shot to the green, a chip, lipped the cup, hesitated and rolled on. Miss Ellis won the hole with a par five to go three up at the end of the first 18 holes. She had a 79 total, three over par, to Miss Varin's 82. Approximately 200 persons in the gallery watched the two women battle across the green fairways under a hot sun.
The two women made it an all-|&
Indianapolis affair yesterday by sweeping through. semi-final opponents. Miss Ellis won 4 and 3 from Mrs. Calvert Shorb, South Bend’s city champion, and Miss Varin disposed of Mrs. Robert Laycock, Pleasant Run, 6 and 5. In yesterday’s matches Miss Varin was never headed after the third hole. The defending champion led
3 up at the turn and won the next |
three holes. They halved No. 13 and that won the match for Miss Varin. Mrs. Shorb Misses Putt
Miss Ellis took a 1 up lead on the first hole against Mrs. Shorb but the South Bend golfer conceded nothing and was even with the favorite after the first nine. They halved No. 10, then Miss Ellis won the next two holes with one par and a bogey. The thirteenth was halved with fives when Miss Ellis birdied and parred the next two holes for the match when Mrs. Shorb missed a seven-foot putt. The tournament's first real casualty was Mrs. G. N. Druley, Kokomo. Mrs. Druley playing in the sixth consolation flight with Mrs. C. PF. Kamponeier, Anderson, was struck on the arm above the elbow with a sliced-driven ball near the 13th tee. The duo had stopped to allow another twosome to play through. Mrs. Druley was leading 2 up but was forced to concede the match after a time out because she was unable to swing.

Veteran Rollie Hemsley was released, Harry Craft sent to Kansas City and Jim Turner and Joe Abreu to Newark. These reinforcements will have an excellent opportunity to show their worth today when the Reds begin a battle to regain third from the Giants in the opener of a fourgame series at the Polo Grounds.
Giants Take 3d
The Giants took sole possession of third yesterday when they beat the Pirates, 6-4, behind brilliant relief pitching by Bill McGee and heavy hitting by Babe Young and Johnny Mize. McGee allowed only two hits in 6% innings after relieving Dave Koslo. Mize hit his 19th homer with one on and Young poled his first with two on, driving in all the Giants’ runs between them, Paced by Rube Melton’s eight-hit pitching and a pair of timely two-

Mauriello Isn't
NEW YORK, July 24 (U. P.).— Heavyweight Tami Mauriello and Featherweight Lulu Costantino, both New Yorkers, were a notch closer to the tops of their divisions today, but neither had garnered much lustre in the rise. Mauriello, rangy young Bronx Italian with a slightly crippled right _ ankle, scored a technical knockout over Red Burman, Baltimore veteran at 2:58 of the ninth round last night in the scheduled 10-round main event at Madison Square Garden. But before Referee Frankie Fullam stopped the bout because of Burman’s badly gashed left brow, ancient Baltimore Red had provided such unexpectedly stiff opposition that most of the 10,217 fans were convinced Mauriello will be a quick kayo victim if he ever meets Corp. Joe Louis. Featherweight Costantino clinched a title shot with Champion Chalky Wright at the Garden, Sept. 25, by taking an unpopular split decision from Pedro Hernandez,

CHICAGO, July 24 (U.

As the second round in the links’ richest prize money event started, Nelson was in a tie for the lead with Lawson Little, the long-hitting Californian. Both shot five-under-par 67's yesterday as a field of 202 began play.
