Began His
Splurge on
4th of July
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. (UP)—
Credit must be given given Out
fielder Enos Slaughter of the St.
Louis Cardinals for a performance
that definitely is of championship
calibre on a non-championship
team.
An early season slump that
lasted until July 4 kept Slaughter,
who hails from Roxboro, N. C.
down among the league’s weaker

Opens Hole-in-One
Tourney With Ace
PORTLAND, Ore. (UP)—
When the Oregon Journal opened
its annual "hole-in-one" golf
tournament recently, Eddie Ho-
gan, noted northwest golfer, was
invited to lace out the first few
drives at the ceremony.
Hogan proved more than oblig-
ing.
His second tee shot was an
ace— the second ever scored in
the four years the tourney has
been sponsored.

faced the probability they may
have to curtail or even abandon
their fall football schedules under
a ruling by Mark McGee, state
OPA director.
McGee said that school busses,
: ed to transport athltic teams,
kecome ineligible for rationed
tires. Many of the smaller schools
depend upon their busses to
transport their athletic teams.
McGee made his ruling at a
meeting with a committee repre-
senting the Texas High School
Football Coaches Association.
“We might as well face the
facts,” McGee said. “There is
not much rubber and there’s
going to be less.
“I’m as enthusiastic a football
fan as anybody, but the rationing
regulations are definite on the
point tha? a school bus is eligible
for tires only when used exclu-
sively for transporting teachers
and children to and from school.”
McGee added that schools should
reconcile themselws to the real-
ization that athletic qontests in-
volving travel must be curtailed
drastically for the duration.
Chartered busses are not avail-
able this year under an ODT
order banning them except for
essential services. Schools have
relied on that type of equipment
in past years to transport their
teams.

St. Louis loosed a six-run

helping the Browns to their sixth
victory in their last seven games.

les for two years, will report to

PHOENIX, Aris. (UP)— The

number of runs.
You made it possible for me to enter the run-off (and for.
the information of those who may not know, with a lead of
1550 votes ahead of my nearest opponent), and on account
of the shortness of time between now and the second pri-
mary I will not be table to see all the voters. I am depend-

tion by continuing to give you the very best service possible.

hitters but now at 26 and in his
fifth year with the Cardinals,
Enos has climbed back among the
elite faster than anyone in the
majors—with the exception of
Ted Williams.
Some baseball men credit the
broken collarbone that kept him
out of the lineup for five week
last season as one of the reasons
for the Cards’ failure to win the
flag. That line of reasoning is
easy to understand after a look
at the southpaw swinger’s current'
swatting record.
Slaughter broke ioose on July
4 with five hits in a doubleheader
against the Cubs. His average at
that time was .279. Since then he’s
collected a total of 75 hits for a
period average of .391. In the 48
games of that period, he went
hitless only five times and in-
creased his total average a full
37 points to .317.
Slaughter collected a hit in
two trips as Max Lanier hurled
the Cards to a 5-0 shutout over
the Cubs last night, helping to
reduce the Dodgers’ league lead
to 6% games. Lanier gave up
seven hits, but did not allow a
runner to get beyond second as
his mates downed Claude Passeau,
who gave up nine hits, for the
first time this year. It was
Lanier’s 10th victory.
The Phils toppled the Dodgers,
3-1, behind the seven-hit pitching
of Rube Melton, in a game halted
for 30 minutes by a state-wide
black-out in Pennsylvania. Melton
defeated Max Macon, who allowed
nine hits.
Johnny Lanning allowed the
Reds only six"hits while blanking
them to give the Pirates a 3-0
victory. It was the fifth loss in
a row for Cincinnati.
Carl Hubbell won his eighth
victory in a row and ninth of the
year as the Giants walloped the
Braves, 10-2.
The Red Sox put over the win-
ning run in the 10th inning against
the Yankees on Dom DiMaggio’s
fly to deep right field for an
8-7 triumhp. Joe Gordon hit a
three-run homer in the first for
Oana and Rolandson; Peterson,
Pavlick (7), and Mancuso. ,
