HENRY OANA, Hawaiian pitcher of the Milwaukee Brewers, was just on the verge of losing his job outfielding for Ft. Worth of the Texas league last summer. His batting could have been medsured in ounces. “Hank, you hit like a pitcher,” said Rogers Hornsby, Worth manager. “I am a good pitcher,” replied Hank, the Hawaiian, Those few words provided the opening for an astonishing record. . . . A few days later, Hornsby needed a relief hurler to finish a game already lost. Oana took the job and made the leagueleading Beaumont Exporters look like tail-enders. From then on, Hank was a starter. , . . Over a six-week period he worked $0 innings, won seven and lost two and showed an eamed-run average of 0.90. . The highlight of the streak was a no-hit game, the first of the Texas league 1942 season. Hank closed the books with 16 wins and five losses and a 1.7! ed-run average. . . . When these figures are stacked against batting mark of 211 it is readily conceded that as an outfielder Oana was a very good pitcher. Hank was born on the isle of Oahu and went to school in Honoluiu.

Sporting News Crawls Out on Limb IN AN EDITORIAL this week, Sporting News, the baseball weekly, asks a question and then discusses it. . « The guestion is, “Are Ladies’ Days Outmoded?” . , . Letters of protest to the editor from feminine fans probably will swamp the Sporting News’ master minds, but they are willing to bear up under the storm as a means of sounding out opinion now that a lot of women are earning a lot of spending money. The editorial, in part, read: , “Pioneered in St. Louis long ago, ladies’ days in baseball spread to become a fixed part of the schedule throughout the game, and for approximately a quarter of a century they have been observed in most of the parks of the country. . =
Novelty Proves Its Worth “AS A NOVELTY, the plan proved its worth and was responsible for making fans and regular attendants among women. Service charges and receipts from concessions, in some instances, represented a tidy sum. “But times have changed. In many communities stripped by manpower by the calls of the armed forces, the distaff side of the family has become the breadwinner. Taking over a role that once was the privilege of man alone, the women now earn and spend the money, and they must, increasingly, be considered as a source of revenue for surviving amusements. » = ” = = = “THESE changed circumstances give rise to the thought that perhaps free ladies’ days have run their course and that the women, too, should pay their way through the turnstiles. Baseball remains about the only amusement that makes such a concession,

High Jump Mark as Tech And Washington Squads Win
By DICK WYATT
Washington high school’s cinder aggregation gave the dope bucket a | big kick yesterday afternoon when “Curly” Julian's athletes edged Howe,
| the defending champion, in the sectional track and field meet at Wash-
ington, 39 1-3 t0'38 1-3. Sam Kelly's Howe Hornets were
| margin, needing only a second in the half-mile relay to win the meet
| when Washington came through to
win the event and meet. Manuals Redskins finished third with 261-3 points, although the
| South Siders captured only one first)
place, their relay team capturing the mile relay event. Southport end Franklin tied for fourth with 15 markers,
4 Records Broken
Four new records were hung up at the West side oval. Bob Alf, Southport’s one-man track team, set new marks in the hurdle events The big Southport star did the
high hurdles ih 155, erasing the old mark of :18 made by Shelbyville’s Paul Gutting in 1940 and turned in the remarkable time of -935 to break the record of another former Southport star, Ed” Schien-
| bein.
In addition to setting new marks in the hurldes, Aliff grabbed off first place in the shot-put. He fouled on his first two trials, but on the third stepped to the rubber and heaved the shot 49 feet 4 inches, making the Cardinal the individual scoring champion of the meet,
Sets Dash Record
Ralph Toney rang the bell with a new record in the 100-yard dash, roaring down the lanes in :10.1, clipping two-tenths of a second off the old mark made by Billy Howard of Washington in 1040. Toney's vietory evened the score with Manual’'s Roland Schroll. Carter Byfield, Washington, won the pole vault event as expected. The Continental star vaulted 11 feet 63% inches to establish a new mark, the old being 11 feet 6 inches, held by Harold Miller of Southport. Although finishing in the runnerup position, Howe qualified the greatest number of tracksters for the state meet to be held at Tech next Saturday. The Kelly Kids won four first and three second places in yesterday's carnival, with Washington and Manual each qualifying four.
Tech Squad Wins
Coach Paul Myers’ Big Green of Tech captured the East side sectional yesterday by amassing 56 points. Ben Davis, Marion county champ, finished second with 28 markers. Shortridge trailed in| reco third spot with 221. While four new records were established at Washington, only one new mark was made at Tech. Tech's tall Don Pedlow erased the mark of 5 feet 11 inches in the high jump, made by Harry Hull of Noblesville in 1917, by clearing the bar at the remarkable height of 6 feet 13% inches. The Tech cinder artists presented a well-balanced attack, their scoring being well divided. Billy Volk, with eight points, was Techs high scorer; Volk captured first in the 100 and was in the runner-up slot in the 220, ;

~<A football schedule with the
strongest military tinge in the history of inter-collegiate sports was adopted today by the Big Ten. The conference's athletic directors and faculty representatives voted yesterday to play 15 games next fall against football teams from the Great Lakes naval training station, the navy's pre-flight school at Iowa City and Camp Grant at Rockford, Ill, Each of the three Midwestern service teams with which the Big Ten has established athletic relations were given five contests with league outfits,
Play at Service Fields
In contrast to the policy of a year ago, when the vast majority of the games with the service teams were played at the home fields of the college teams, six games against conference teams in 1943 will be at the army or navy fields. For these games played at the service team’s home field, Big Ten teams will receive only traveling expenses, thus voluntarily giving up an approximate $150,000 in gate receipts.
Sectionals Cancelled
While wide revisions in the schedule originally adopted two years ago had to be made to formulate the new grid charts, the chief casualty of the shékeup was the Ohio StateMinnesota encounter scheduled for Ott. 16 at Minneapolis.

‘Get Ross’ Is Yankee Cry
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 15.-~The New York Yankees, object of so many “tear em down” campaigns, ous loose with a moan of their own toe day--"Break Up Buck Ross.” Ross has never won as many as 10 games any year in seven seasons in the American league. However, he made up for that mediocre mark yesterday by coming within a single hit of pitchig’s hall of fame when he cut down the Yankees with one scratch single to bring the Chicago White Sox a 3-0 triumph,
One Hitter for Rookie Rookie Charlie Wensloff, Yankeas righthander, pitched one-hit ball for the first six innings, but came apart at the seams in the seventh when the White Sox put four hits together for their first two runs and pushed over another for wi measure in the eighth, Washington spoiled Cleveland's chances of picking up a game on the front-running Yankees by come ing from behind with three runs in the ninth to whip the Indians, 3-1. Three singles and a brace of passes in the ninth gave Dutch Leonard his third triumph and handed Jim Bagby his initial setback, Detroit and Philadelphia hooked up in their third consecutive extrae inning battle in as many days as the. A's nicked the Tigers, 7-6, in 12 sessions. Lum Harris staggered through a 16-hit barrage to his first win in five starts as Pete Suder and Johnny Welaj worked a perfect squeeze play to score the winning run, The A’s solved three pitchers for 11 hits, Suder garnering a homer and single in addition to his bung to drive in four runs.
Old Fitz Fails Fred Fitzsimmons gambled and lost his chances of a pitching career in 1943 as the Pirates sent him to cover in the fourth and breezed in a 5-2 victory over the Dodgers. The Dodgers collected seven hits to Pittsburgh's five, but were unable to solve Hank Gornicki with men on base. Fitzsimmons allowed all the Pittsburgh runs, including a two-run four-bagger by Bob Elliotg in the first inning. A triple by Chet Ross and a sine gle by Charley Workman with two out in the tenth gave the Braves a a 43 win over the Cardinals, Max Lanier gave up eight Boston hits while the Cardinals worked Al Javery for 12, Home runs by Ernie Lombardi and Mel Ott enabled the Giants to keep pace with the Cubs until the
\
ninth when Sid Gordon singled
nome the run that defeated the Cubs, 3-2. New York second bases man, Nick Witek, handled 13 chances, missing the major league record by one. Bill Lohrman scate tered 11 hits for his second victory,
