n AAU Track Opening—
BILL HULSE TESTS HAEGG’S TRAINING METHODS
NEW YORK, June 17.—(P)—Bill
O-ulse, young research chemist, saw
enough of Gunder Haegg’s back in
various races last summer to get
the impression that there was some-
thing to the Swede’s method of
straining and today the Navy-bound
scientist puts on display the results
of his year-long experiment.
Hulse competes in the 1,500 meter,
or metric mile, event of the fifty-
sixth annual AAU track and field
championships. The meet is a two-
day affair with Hulse competing in
the 800 meters Sunday.
All spring Hulse has been train-
ing over a cross-country course to
build up stamina for the mile. Dur-
ing the past three Burnham, Dartmouth medical stu-
weeks, in a vaca-
tion prelude to
his entrance in
HULSE
s the Navy, Hulse
has scampered ov-
er the hills in the
. morning and
worked for speed
w on the cinders
, late afternoon —
the same formu-
g la Haegg used
9 during his U. S.
" tour last summer.
, Gil Dodds, de-
dent will miss today’s race because
of college examinations as will the
Hume twins of Michigan. Jim Raf-
fending champion, won’t be able
to compete because of a conflict
with • preaching tour and Don
ferty of New York, and Les Eisen-
hart, Ohio school teacher, loom as
Hulse’s strongest rivals.
The 1,500 meter event is one of
three senior titles to be decided
today. Others are the 3,000 meter
walk and the 10,000 meter run in
which Clayton Farrar of the Coast
Guard, is expected to break the
record.
The remainder of the first day’s
program is confined to junior com-
petition in which Charley Parker,
Texas school boy wonder, will try
for his 50th straight dash victory
in the 100 meter test.

•Nelson, Turnesa Tied at 138 as
Red Crossers Enter 3d Stanza
® New ROCHELLE, N. Y., June 17
—()—The Marshals were really
martial today at Wykagyls tricky
course, for they canted out the Army
to guard the golfers from the gal-
Coping galleries on the last two 18-
hole rounds of the $13,333 Red Cross
tournament.
With the concluding jaunts of the
72-hole nip-and-tuck medal play
@est scheduled today and Sunday,
a contingent of 90 soldiers moved in
last night, pitched their tents, and
prepared to stem the stampeding
spectators over the uphill and
down-dale course.
• With 36 holes out of the way
in the race for the war bonds,
six stars were under par, three
others were even and 11 others
were no more than two strokes
away, presaging a scrap right
A down to the final pole.
• Out front were Mike Turnesa of
White Plains, N. Y., and Byron
(Lord) Nelson of Toledo, Ohio, with
scores of 138 or six under regula-
tion figures. Nelson, shooting the
most consistent golf in the field, as
Gexpected, raced out front with a
pair of 69‘s, while Turnesa did it
with a 71 and 67.
Harold (Jug) McSpaden, the big
winter tour winner from Philadel-
phia. was next with 139 after a
comforting 68 yesterday, and Vic
EGhezzi, the lanky Army sergeant
from Deal, N. J., first-day leader
with 67, was fourth with 140 after
a second-round 73.
Also under par were Ziggie Mel-
lon of Bronxville, N. Y., and Andrew
Lapole of Wayne, N. J., with 143
each, which in an even-par knot at
144 were Toney Penna of Dayton,
Ohio, and two Pennsylvanians, Bud
Lewis of Philadelphia and Morris
Gravatbo of Williamsport.

Tigers Bow to
St. Louis, 14-1
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Brston’s nine game winning
streak which had lifted the Red
Sox from sixth place to within a
half game of the American league
lead, was halted abruptly by Milo
Candini, Washington’s in and out
righthander, last night.
Candini blanked the Sox 4-0
with rive hits in pitching his
first complete game of the sea-
son. Stan Spence drove in the
first two Senator runs in the
opening inning with a single to
raise his league leadership to
36. George Case stole two bases
to tie Don Gutteridge for the
lead in that department with 13
each. Washington’s victory
vaulted them into the first di-
vision, one percentage point
ahead of the New York Yankees.
The league leading St. Louis
Browns scored a decisive 14-1 vie-
tory over the Detroit Tigers. Milt
Byrnes and Mark Christman each
drove in three runs. Bob Muncrief
won his sixth victory scattering nine
Bengal hits.
The Yankees started a long home
stand with a victory over the tail-
end Philadelphia Athletics 6-1. A
five run sixth inning enabled Hank
Borowy to hang up his eighth win
of the year.
Fireman Gordon Maltzberger res-
cued Orval Grove in the ninth when
he fanned Manager Lou Boudreau
with the bases full and two but, to
give the Chicago White Sox a 3-1
win over the Cleveland Indians. Hal
Trosky celebrated his return to the
White Sox lineup with a double
and scored one of the Pale Hose’s
runs.
Brooklyn took a close game
from the Philadelphia Phillies,
5-4, with the aid of a four-run
outburst in the sixth inning.
Dixie Walker paced the Dodger
attack with two doubles and
drove in two runs. Rube Melton
won his fourth game, though
he needed help from Les Web-
ber in the Ninth.
The Cincinnati Reds clubbed four
Chicago pitchers for 13 hits, includ-
ing homers by Frank McCormick
and Erio Tipton, to defeat the Cubs,
10-5. Besides the homer, McCormick
hit a single and double to make it
easy for Clyde Shoun to notch his
sixth victory against two defeats.
The Giants-Braves, Cards-Pir-
ates were not scheduled.

Arnold of Los Angeles and Dorothy
May Bundy of Santa Monica, Calif,
meet today for the national clay
court women’s tennis championship.

Today’s finalists are both 27

nold is sixth nationally.
Meanwhile, the colorful Francis-
co (Pancho) Segura of Coral Ga-
bles, Fla., and’ Billy Talbert of In-
dianapolis play semifinal matches

Mich., and Buckley field, Colo., who
yesterday defeated Sam Rotberg of
Bay City, Mich., 6-1, 5-4, 5-7,6-1.
Norris is seeded third. Talbert’s op-
ponent is unseeded Ralph Dilley of
Cleveland.
The finals, in men’s and women’s
doubles also will be played tomor-
row. Segura and Talbert are in the
semifinals as a doubles team, meet-
ing Hubert Johnson of Detroit and
Kenneth Norman of Ann Arbor,
Mich., today. The women’s finalists
are Misses Betz and Hart against
Miss Arnold and Catherine Wolf of
Elkhart, Ind.

35 Horses Dead
In Stable Blaze
DETROIT, June, 17—(P—Thirty-
five valuable race horses were de-
stroyed early this morning when a
three-alarm fire swept through
two large barns at the Michigan
State Fair grounds.
Victims of the blaze included Bell
Buzzer, which ran seventh in the
Kentucky Derby this year, and Di-
amond Dick. Bell Buzzer was own-
ed by David Ferguson, Detroit bus-
iness man, and Diamond Dick by
George C. White of Hendersonxville,
Tenn.
Other owners of the approximate-
ly 100 horses stabled in the two
barns include 1. G. Bedwell of Los
Angeles, N. T. Mayo of Richmond,
Va., and Otto B. Johr of Detroit.
The Lames broke out in the Mayo
stable shortly before midnight, and
fed by huge rows of hay and straw,
soon enveloped both buildings. Most
of the horses were herded into the
center of the race track, and those
in nearby stables also were evacu-
ated. The horses were brought here
for the Detroit Racing association
season.
