THE 1943 world series probably will be a one-trip
affair. . . . In other words, say the Yankees and Cardinals do a repeat and meet for the title . . . it is reported Commissioner Landis will rule that the first three games be played in New York and the rest of the series staged in St. Louis . .. on account of transportation difficulties. It is the American league’s year to stage the opéhipg games. « «+ « It was a one-trip classic last year because the Cardinals polished off the Yankees four straight after dropping the opener. . . . Action opened in St. Louis and the Cards wrapped up the laurels in New York. : Milwaukee and Rouisville are shy two games and will not get to play ’em off. ... Weather canceled both games scheduled in Milwaukee yesterday. ... Toledo and St. Paul and Columbus and Minneapolis also are short one game apiece in the schedule, canceled on account of weather, . , . The A.

Light Heavy Class Conceived in 1903
ANSWER to query: According to this department’s records the light heavyweight class in boxing was conceived in 1903... . The middleweight limit at that time was 158 pounds, and there were so many good boxers weighing between 160 and 175 pounds that some sports authority hit upon the idea of creating a class for these "mis. fits” with 176 pounds as the limit.

GEORGE GARDNER and Jack Root, two of ‘the leading “mis-
fits” of that era were matched $0 meet for the first light heavy title and Gardner won by a k. o. in 12 rounds. ... The new division paved the way for many interesting fistic encounters down through the years between topnotch boxers too light for the heavyweight division and too heavy for the middleweight class.

land, O., came in yesterday and ‘a long distance telephone call from Margaret Reinhold, Lakeland, Fla., now stationed at Memphis, Tenn., revealed that the national senior women’s A. A. U. 10-meter platform diving titlist may be able to get here in time for the events today. There was one swimming coach in the crowd who was out for “revenge” and that was Jack Cody, for 30 years mentor of the Multnomah club. Cody, for the last three years has come in second best to Bud Sawin of the Indianapolis Riviera club and is out to prevent a recurrence of his luck during that period. Cody was right behind Sawin when the latter was coach of the Lakeside club of Louisville in 1940 and followed in the same spot when Sawin coached his Riviera girls to the team championship in the last two years. Cody brought four crack swimmers with him this year in the person of Brenda Helser, Suzanne Zimmerman, Maryanne Hansen and Nancy Merki. Eight swimmers qualified yesterday for the finals today of the 1500meter free style, including the defending champion, Nancy Merki, who swam the distance in 23:11.7. But her time was ‘beaten by three other contestants, including Florence ‘Schmitt, 13-year-old member of the Women’s Swimming associafion, New York. She covered the distance in 22:51.8. "Mary Walts Wins Mary Ann Walts, Indianapolis Riviera, who won the first heat, came in in 23:11.3. Catherine Breen, Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, O., wound up in‘ 23:05.2.

smallmouth— 1, Trout fishing, if we have our facts right, was the first rod and reel method to gain popularity in this country. In trout fishing there is no argument as to how to handle the rod. The correct, and only way, is to keep it point ed at the sky and five to 15 degrees backward at the butt. This uses the spring in the rod to keep the line tense and absorbing the strength of the fish. 1. (P. 8) A trout and a bass behave in the same fashion when hooked. 2. Pointing your rod downward and into the water tends to drive the fish up and into a leap rather - than keep it from breaking water. This is true because bass, who strike out of anger as much as hunger, strive to go in the opposite direction to the line of resistance until, of course, they are well hodked and have to use resort to rushing the boat and hunting a rock to rub out the | barbs.
