\'). Ogdensburg SPOR TS Journal PAGE SIX TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1943 OGDENSBURG- JOURNAL New York —CAP)— Sketch of a -swell guy .... Greg Rice lay on a rubbing table in a steamy-hot dressing room under Randall's Is- land stadium .... ^He had just taken the licking of his life in a race with Sweden's Gunder Haegg and his string of victories had been snapped at 65 .... What's more he was sick. The trainers virtually carried him in to take a shower and he breathed in short, quick gasps as he lay there, winc- ing under the applications of al-j pohol .... Tinder the conditions, you'd think a fellow had a right to be a bit peeved at everything | ..... But Rice man-aged to display a big grin all the time and when the reporters, well-wishers and; autograph hounds crowded around,' he'd sit up- painfully, shake hands j and say \Thanks\ and you knowj both the grin and the thanks were! genuine He's a tough little! guy to beat in a race, but it's a! tougher job trying to get an alibi i out of him. I la another corner of the room, one of Rice's superior officers was trying to expalin the attitude of the Maritime Service toward his running .... \He'll perform his regular duties- and won't have much time to train,\ the officer said, \So I doubt if he'll run against Haegg again. After all, it would look bad for our physical program if Greg went on taking beatings, but he\ can't very well take time off to train and make a long tour. He wouldn't be a real petty officer in the Maritime Serv- ice if he didn't perform his duties. He might get the time off if he asked for It.\ .... The officer seemed to leave the question open, but we know what Rice's attitude •would, be ... . He stated it a few days ago in telling of his'difficult- ies in getting into shape for the race. \I'm very serious about the Maritime Service; I don't have much time to train but I wouldn't Save it any other way.\ .... Since then he has been ordered to sea for a month. Chances For 2nd Haegg-Rice Race Killed By War New York — (AP\ — War, which made the Gunder Haegg- Greg Rice meeting possible, has killed all chances for a second race this summer. Rice, a chief specialist in the Maritime Service, has received orders to begin a month's cruise today which virtually precludes any possibility he will have a chance to avenge the 40 - meter defeat he suffered Sunday in the 5,000 meter run at the national A. A. U. championships. Haegg was brought over from Sweden, where he set seven world records last summer, to meet Rice in a series of races for the benefit of the Army Air Forces aid society. Their first clash, highlight of the national A.A.TJ. title meet net- ted approximately $90,000 for the society, $80,000 coming from the advertising in the lfi8-page pro- gram and approximately $10,000 from, the 12,050 paying customers. With Rice on the seas, Gil Dodds, the prancing preacher from Boston, may take up the task of chasing the Swedish killer in track circles because of his -unorthodox spurts, retained his national 1,500 meteer crown last weekend with a 3:50 clocking'. That's equivalent to a 4:08 or 4:09 mile, an indication that he would be in shape for Haegg even for the July 2 appearance at Chi- cago. Dodds is the only runner to have pushed Rice the past two years at two miles. Big League Lingo I : jor League ^ Leaders QUOTE, TJNQUOTE Last word by Haegg (as relayed by an interpreter): \He says he likes to sit around and talk with newspapermen as much as any- body but^he doesn't think it's a good idea when he's in training.\ .... It- can be a bad idea at oth- er times, too. MORE STADIUM CINDERS Starter Jack Lavelle was all set i to start the big race in Swedish, but one of Haegg's handlers nixed j the idea \He understands! enough,\ the interpreter explained; —and he did, enough to say j \Thank; You\ when he was ' motioned to the inside lane, too. .... The A.A.TJ, is having; trouble finding opposition for the Swedish smoke eater. Gil Dodds doesn't want to mate a tour because lie has a family to look after and, besides, there's no telling when .Haegg will run a mile or 1,500 meters. He says he prefers 1500 but doesn't want to try it until he 'feels he's right — which prob- ably means right for a -world rec- ord ... , Haegg has a pair of track shoes autographed by Paavo Nurmi but he only uses them in practice .... Sure, there were oth- er guys in the meet, but we'll get around to them later. 3y x-ne Associated Press NATIONAL LEAGUE Batting — Dahlgren, Philadelph- ia, .358; Herman Brooklyn, .340.

Early in the spring they ob- tained Ernie Lombardi, the Nation- al League batting champion, by giving' up a rookie catcher and in- fielder Connie Ryan, it will be re- membered. Lombardi has been just ordinary for the Giants while Ryan has sparked for the Braves, ;and, on the day after the deal was made, hit a home run that beat New York. More recently the Giants gave Herbert (Babe) Baml, a some- time slugging outfielder, to the Boston Red Sox for Lefty Kendall Chase, a pitcher with considerable American League experience. The Giants were criticized for taking Chase, who, on the day be- fore the deal was made, walked 11 men in four innings and who had not won a game this season. But they bided their time and waited for the proper spot to unveil a southpaw. * This occasion came yesterday in a twilight game against the THE STANDINGS INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pet.

Brooklyn Dodgers-and for awhile to seemed Manager Mel Ott was about to win an honorable men- tion for masterminding. For five innings he shutout the Dodgers on - one hit while his team- mates gave him a 1-0 advantage over Bobo Newsom. But in the seventh the Dodgers tied the score and in the seventh they 'chased Chase with six runs on five hits and captured a 7-1 decision. The game had to be called at the end of the eighth because of darkness and the feeble light in the seventh may have helped the Dodgers' .rally, but in any case Chase still hasn't won a ball game this year and the Giants haven't had much luck either on the field or in the market. m the only other game on the Major League program the St. Louis Cardinals maintained their 2 1-2 game edge over the Dodgers by taking a 6-2 verdict at Cincin- nati in a game that was halted by weather conditions at the end of seven innings. Howie Krist held the Reds to' five hits, but it took a four - run uprising in the sixth inning to set- tle the struggle in St. Louis' favor. Pro Football League Has Growing- Pains Chicago — CAP) — Officials of the National League, previously worried for fear the circuit would shrink, found themselves with -rowing . pains after concluding their extra-inning meeting yester- day. Officials said that after the war profootball may no longer be a sectionalized sport, but may ex- pand to such proportions that far western cities heretofore regarded as out-of-reach will find the game on their doorsteps. This new frontier will be real- ized if the league, at its next ses- sion in December, votes to accept Don Ameche's franchise for Los Angeles. There also is a m6ve to obtain a franchise for San Fran- cisco. Sign at No. 10 <s>- Racing Briefs By The Associated Press Alf Robertson, the canny scot injured at Aqueduct Saturday, left the hospital last last night and soon will be back on the ponies. Robertson, now_33 and in 4F be- cause of a previously broke foot, is independently wealthy and says that this is his final year as a rider but that he plans to continue in the turf sport as an owner and a trainer. More than 150 women reported to mutuels director Mort Mahony of Garden State Pak when he ad- vertised that he had 50 openings for them at the New Jersey plant. The successful ones already have started a training course as cashiers, sellers and ticket check- ers for the meeting which begins July 7. Dahlgren Holds Top Batting Average New York — (AP) — Babe Dahl- gren of the Phillies and Vernon Stephens of the St. Louis Browns have been standing side by side at the top of the major league hit- ters for so long that it is scarcely any wonder today that they are sharing the same batting average. Both have marks of .358 and are exactly 18 points ahead of their nearest rivals. In the National League Billy Herman of Brooklyn spurted into second place with .340 as Dahlgren -held virtually steady. A week ago he had .359. Whirlaway Enters Race At Arlington Chicago — (AP) — Whirlaway, turfdom's top money-winner, was scheduled to start his campaign as a 5-year-old today in a $2,500 allowance race of a mile which will head the second-day program. This will be Whirly's first ap- pearance at the post since he won a stake at New Orleans last Dec. 12J and will serve as a tuneup for the $10,000 Equipoise mile Satur- day. His 1943 debut has been awaited with keen interest and has come in time to permit him to be at his best during the three, $50,000 events which are his main objec- tives for the season — the Stars and Stripes July 5, AMingtan Handicap July 31, and the Wash- ington Park Handicap, Sept. 6. Whirlaway has amassed $560,911 in winnings. That \last mile\ to the Belmont track is no more, at least for the time being. The O-DT in Washington has granted the Long Island railroad permission to rut special trains as it did before the war, • instead of relief trains as it had this sum- mer. The specials will he able to go directly to the parks while the relief trains- of this spring could make stops only if they were list- ed on the time-tables as regular ones. For that reason, Belmont spec- tators had to walk a mile although the tracks ran directly in front of the gates. v The Long Island rolling equip- ment is of a wider guage than or- dinary rolling stock and can not be used on other lines. <&- Fights East Night -$» By The Assocaited Press Washington — Beau Jack, 135, Augusta, Ga., stopped Max Starr,, 130 1-2, Edgewood arsenal, M.

Marshall Declares Tunisian Victory Exploded Myth Of German Superman Columbus, O.—(AP)—The Tuni- sian victory exploded the myth of the Nazi superman,, says Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff of the United States Army. \The superman has had his day,\ the officer told the 35th an- nual Governors' conference last night. \The Democracies have called his bluff.\ Joseph E. Davies, former ambas- sador to Russia expressed belief that had \not the Bed Army stop- ped Hitler's eastern drive \the Germans might have overrun Af- rica; might have made Tunisia impossible, and might have' made junction with the Japs In India and on the Persian gulf.\ \Had that happened,\ he told the conference, \our enemies and not we would today be dictating the global strategy.\ Paul V. McN-ufcfc, chairman of the War Manpower. Commission, said in an address prepared for delivery at the conference \that \when we are perfectly sure that every last alternative—^as meas- ured by the stern priorities of war—has been exhausted, -then, and only then,\ will fathers be drafted.
