THE SURPRISES in baseball this year in three leagues, National, American and American association, are to be found at the bottom of the standings. ... In the A. A. the fans are not sure yet that seeing is believing, what with the Kansas City Blues (the Little

Yankees) struggling in eighth place.

Kansas City has been a winner ever since the Yankees took over the club, lock, stock and barrel and began directing their surplus

talent into the Blues” plant. . . .

Winning games became a habit

as the Yankees always managed to plug any weak links that ap-

peared in the K. C. roster...

. But that was prior to 1943.

In the last five years the Blues won the pennant three times

and finished second and third the

other trips. . .. They won out

last season in a rousing stretch fight with Milwaukee and Columbus. In the National league at this writing the Chicago Cubs hold a

firm grip on last place. . . . were picked as the National league of the 1943 campaign. .

Sportsgoers will recall that the Cubs

“dark horse” prior to the start

. They had not been hit hard by selective

service and enlistments in key positions and were rated a threat

to the Dodgers and Cardinals.

Uncle Sam Moves in on Browns

IN THE American league the cellar berth is occupied by the St. Louis Browns; who finished third yast year and in January and February were looked upon as possible 1943 pennant contenders. . . . In the “ratings by experts” the Browns generally were placed

second or third. . . .

Later, Uncle Sam “moved in on the team and

it lost much strength and its pennant possibilities. There is still ample time for last place clubs to get going but it’s always a handicap in baseball to overcome a poor start.

Mile Champion Missing at Sea

LOS ANGELES, June 5 (U. P.).— Lt. Louis Zamperini, great mile runner whose personal war with the axis started in 1936 at the Berlin Olympic games when he tore down a German flag, is missing in the South Pacific, his mother said today. Zamperini, holder of the National Intercollegiate one and two mile run records as well as the National Interscholastic mile record, was a ~ bombardier, and had been cited for/ heroism. The war department notified her that he is missing, Mrs. Zamperini said, but gave no details. It was after the Berlin Olympics,; when he was 18 years old, that, Zamperini provoked international comment by snatching a Nazi flag from in front of Hitler's chancellery. ; | Guards fired on him but he raced. away at his best Olympic pace and eluded pursuit. He hid the flag and managed to smuggle it home. Gen, Werner von Fritsch, since reported killed in action in Poland, excused the youth’s action as a boyish prank. A phenomenal runner in high school days, Zamperini went on to the University of Southern California and scored victory after victory. His one-mile time of 4 minutes, 8.3 seconds was made at Minneapolis June 18, 1938, and his two mile IC4A record was set here the follow-

ing year, with a time of 9:12.8,

Charge Galento Foe Took Dive

TAMPA, Fla., June 5 (U. P.).— Herbie Katz, Brooklyn heavyweight who lost a 25-second bout to Two-Ton Tony Galento here last, Tuesday night, today was charged with “taking a dive” by the 116th Field Artillery Boxing Commission of Tampa. The commission, meeting last night, agreed they would not sponsor Katz in any future fights after discovering that the Brooklyn fighter had already been paid in advance and it would be impossible to hold up his purse pending investigation. . The commissioners did not suspend him, Galento threw only two punches in the scheduled 10-round fight. The first sent Katz to the canvas, and the second ended the fight, The commissioners allege that punch No. 2 did not touch the Flatbush heavy. Galento and Promoter Jim Downing were absolved.

'Vandy Drops Grid

Game for Duration

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 5 (U P.) —Vanderbilt university, which produced one of the stronger teams in last year’s Southeastern conference, will play no more intercollegiate football for the duration, Chancellor 0. C. Carmichael said today. Because of a badly depleted coaching staff and with only three members of last year’s team returning, he reported to the board of trustees that “some football may be played, but clearly there can be no varsity in 1943.”

Indians Pound Pellet Behind Diehl, Trexler

ledo and five and one-half up on

The Tribesters were idle today, but tomorrow they will invade the home of the Brewers, lone: western club in the American association’s first division. The series in Milwaukee calls for four games, opening with a double-header tomorrow afternoon. Earl Reid and ohn Hutchings are expected to be sent against Charlie Grimm's Suds City gang of heavy hitters. Woodie Rich also is reported on, edge if he gets a mound call from Tribe Skipper OWwnie Bush.

Diehl, Trexler Deliver

The Indians swept last night's double-header from the Kansas City Blues at Ruppert stadium, 7 to 2, seven innings, and 7 to 6, 12 innings. George Diehl, righthander, beat the Kaws in the first game, a twilighter, and Jim/ Trexler bumped off last year’s champs in the extrainning night tilt. « It was Diehl’s second victory in two starts since he joined the Redskins from the Boston Braves, and it was Trexler’s fifth victory against one setback. The. Tribe won the series, two games to one. Stewart Hofferth, the Tribe's hard-working catcher, batted in four of the Tribe’s runs in the first game, Morgan biffed in a pair and English one. The Indians collected 12 hits to seven for the Blues. The Indians’ fat inning was the fourth when they chased across four markers.

Tribe Makes Six Errors

In the second game the Indians had a bad night in the field and Trexler was forced to pitch overtime to win. Six errors were chalked up against the league leaders, Carl Fairly committing ‘three at short. The Indians pounded out 16 hits to 11 for the hom& club. ‘The Bushmen batted Tom Reis out of the box in the seventh and he was relieved by Clem Hausmann. Trexler helped his own gause by belting a single and double. Fred Vaughn, held hitless in the twilighter, walloped out two doubles and a triple. The Tribe’s winning run in the 12th was put over on singles by English, Pik2 and Hofferth. Pike, playing right field, garnered three hits and Vaughn three. Trexler struck out six and walked three. Hofferth got two blows in the second tilt, giving him four for the twin bill. The Indians’ record against the Blues this season stands at four victories against two defeats.

Atterbury Defeats O. S.

Times Special CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. June 4—Kozar blasted a home run in the last of the ninth, with . Steiner aboard, to give the Camp Atterbury diamond aggregation a 3-to-2 victory over Ohio State before 1500 service men here today. The game, a hurlers’ duel between Grate of the Buckeyes and Schneider of Atterbury was hardfought throughout.

Cleveland, Memphis Mix Tonight

Victory field tonight will be the scene of an outstanding Negro American league baseball attraction bringing together the Cleveland Buckeyes, current pace-setters, and the Memphis Red Sox. Play will start at 8:30. The Buckeyes were impressive here earlier in the season in an exhibition fray but they will have tougher competition this evening in the strong Memphis aggregation, which numbers such top stars of Negro baseball as Larry Brown, Porter Moss and Neil Robinson, the latter a leading home run hitter. Cleveland, fighting hard to stay ahead of the Kansas City Monarchs in the standings, plans to start Willie Jefferson on the mound, probably against Porter Moss, Memphis ace. Sam Jethroe, who is leading the league in hitting for Cleveland, will be counted on to lead the attack, ably abetted by Paraell Woods and others in the lineup who have the Buckeyes first in team batting as well as in the won and lost éolumn.

Kinnick Lost Life In Forced Landing

WASHINGTON, June 5 (U. P.) — Ensign Nile C. Kinnick, former allAmerica football halfback at the University of Iowa, was lost on Wednesday, when a plane he was piloting made a forced landing at sea. The navy in announcing Kinnick’s loss did not locate the scene of the landing. A crash boat arrived at the spot a few minutes after the plane hit the water and Kinnick, the navy said, succeeded in getting out of the cockpit. He disappeared beneath the water, however, before the boat could reach him, the navy said.

Yanks Protect Lead With Win

Over Browns

By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 5—Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox has been the outstanding career casualty of the war. Now there is another youngster who may soon be able to claim half a share in that distinction. He is Vern Stephens, shortstop of the St. Louis Browns. When Williams became a naval flying cadet, it appeared that the most promising career in baseball was being cut off in the middle. Today: the pending induction of Stephens promises to bring to. a halt a future that might have been just as brilliant. Joe Gordon’s sixth homer of the year gave the Yankees g 10-inning, 6-4 triumph over the Browns yesterday, but it was a moral victory for Stephens. Just returned from a preliminary draft board examination, Stephens had a perfect day at bat. He collected two home runs, a double,

plate, boosting his league leading average to a cool 404.

Murphy Wins Fifth

Johnny Murphy was credited with his fifth triumph when Gordon laced out his four-bagger in the 10th with two out and Charlie Keller on first. Keller previously had belted his seventh homer of the year. Stephens’ sterling performance had to split today’s headlines with Mort Cooper, righthanded pitcher of the Cardinals, however. Cooper came within a single hit of baseball’'s hall of fame for the second straight time last night as the Red Birds blanked the Phillies. Jimmy Wasdell’s eighth-inning single was the only blow off Cooper and the only other Phil base runner was "Merrill May, who got aboard when the pitcher fumbled his easy tap. Cooper did not pass a man and fanned five to notch his sixth win.

Tigers Shade Senators

In two American league night games, the Tigers shaded the Senators, 2-1, and Cleveland clipped the A's, 3-2. Jimmy Bloodworth raced home ahead of Johnny Sullivan’s throw on Ned Harris’ roller to tally the winning run for Detroit in the ninth. Three Detroit pitchers gave up seven hits while Dutch Leonard allowed the Tigers six. The White Sox scored four runs in the first inning and coasted to a 4-3 win over the Red Sox. A pair of walks, Don Kolloway’s double and Wally Moses’ triple featured the rally. Buck Ross pitched hitless ball for the White Sox until the fifth and was kayoed in the seventh when Boston made four hits for two runs. Gordon Maltzberger held the Red Sox the rest of the way.

Dodgers Swamp Cubs

In the only National league day game, the Dodgers loosed a sevenrun barrage in the first inning to breeze to an 18-5 win over the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers collected a total of 23 hits off a trio of Bruin pitchers while Buck Newsom turned back the Cubs in brilliant fashion after rescuing Rube Melton in the first. Newsom doled out eight hits, fanned eight and collected three hits. Vince DiMaggio scored all the way from first on a passed ball in the eighth as the Pirates edged the Giants, 9-8, in a free-hitting night game. The Pirates kayoed Van Mungo in the fourth with six runs, but the Giants rallied for five in the eighth and one in the ninth. DiMaggio singled in the eighth and romped home when Ernie Lombardi

Chalky Wright, 'With Life Beginning at 40," Wins by KO

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 5.—Hewing to the axiom that “life begins at 40,” ancient Chalky Wright knocked out Young Phil Terranova in the fifth round last night to become No. 1 New York state challenger for the featherweight crown Chalky once wore. The tall, rangy Los Angeles Negro, who generally is regarded as being closer to 40 than 30, mowed down the inexperienced Bronx Italian three

times—and out at 2:46 of the fifth session before a small crowd of 8301 at Madison Square Garden. ' Referee Frankie Fullam’s full count made official the kayo which the sweltering fans had been anticipating since the first minute of the first round when Terranova performed like a powder-puff novice against his experienced, hard-hit-ting opponent. Fortunately for the un-air-conditioned fans, it did not last the scheduled 15 rounds. It was the first kayo registered against Bronx Phil in 30 professional fights, something the perspiring spectators could hardly believe. Terranova was that amateurish and harmless. Terranova bled so badly from the nose after the first round that his corpuscles spattered upon the ring:side boxing writers.

Wright, Old Man

Because Wright is an old man of the ring, young Terranova tried to whittle him down with a body attack, which Wright muffled on most occasions with his long, strong arms. Meanwhile Chalky gave his 23-year-old opponent a lesson in in-fighting and a terrific lacing at long range. Chalky, who scaled 125 pounds, just one more than his shorter opponent, flooded Phil for an eight count in the second round with a right uppercut and then knocked away his mouthpiece with a left hook to the lips.
