With the Cards it appeared that their trouble was an overdose of games with the pesky Pittsburgh Pirates, who humbled them in their consecutive double victory Wednesday night, 7-3 and 10-5, to reduce the margin of the league leaders to 13V4 games. While that still is a healthy gap between them and the futilely ambitions Pirates, it is significant to note that on Aug. 31 the Cards led by 20 games and their current mar hard balls knocking them down Ward, sports editor of the Chicago last stearl lU to w-! and picking them up when poS' Tribune and daddy of the game but his commanding officer sible, going clear down on the knees.

So, the next week-end Bill went to Chicago and met both Mullen and Koch both the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies playing the Chicago Cubs during that period. Here is Bill's report: "I didn't get In till 8 p. and it takes a half hour to get to the field, and by that time the game was over and Barney had just left for the hotel they start Chicago games early on Saturday.

Of course, he may be digging his own grave there, because the chances appear that the Bears will do well to win 50 per cent of their games this year a number not considered enough to make a "successful" season in the bettercircles.

IU.R) The New York Giants of the Na tional professional football league handed the Sampson naval training station eleven its third straight American league stretch race today and picked the second-place Detroit Tigers as the squad most likely to win.

Mack, in a speech before the Shrine club last night, said the Tigers deserved a slight edge because of their two ace pitchers, Paul "Dizzy" Trout andHalNew-houser. Northwest Pro-Amateur Tournament at Spokane SPOKANE, Sept. 14. OP) The northwest pro-amateur tourney opening here tomorrow will bring out remarkably fine wartime field ot shotmakers to battle for the crown currently held by Spokane's Neil Christian, pro, and Irv Cornell, amateur. Outstanding challenging team will be that of two Tacomans, Chuck Oongdon and Chuck Hunter.

Another' combination to be reckoned with is the Seattle duo of Harry Givan and Gordon Richards. California Tech Will Return to Gridiron cially interested In Mickey nad Ranny about baseball. (Doing a little scouting). I told him that both were doing swell in the Cascade league and see that Ranny didn't do bad in the playoffs. Ford said he really liked working with Fritz at EHS and you'll have to admit that was a combination that was hard to beat both among the best in their lines, and it is too bad that EHS lost both of them.

"I see where Fritz Is helping Mathews at Portland sure glad for him. This may be the break he has long deserved. He knows his football if onybody does and there, he won't have the worry of a head coach or teaching school and still be where his first love is football. Which, about spells curtains for his at EHS I guess." The first-hand Information on Ford Is certainly welcome. Except for a few practice games with his Eugene preppers, we haven't seen Ford in action since college days.

But now that we've seen him through the eyes of Bill Love we're satisfied he is the type of steady ballplayer who does equally well in all sorts of competition. Take his records In the Western Internations, the Coast and National leagues for example. In the Claw W. I. league with Vancouver Ford hit .293 and fielded around .970.

In the Class AA Coast league with Seattle Ford batted .272 and fielded .977. and now In the National league Ford is hitting around .270 and fielding about .970. posted or sometliing, but I got Ihe floor manager, and action. I iiirely didn't want to miss this opportunity. "Ford was just starting to get ready to head for the ball-park when I got to his room, and seemed quite tickled to see me, and was I glad ii see him! I guess I am the firs', of the old bunch he has seen outside of Clyde Greene in quite a while, and since Clyde was in the ai.TW and not home, didn't know too many of the details.

But I guess he figured I should, so the first thing he did was start in on the boys who went to EHS then Fritz, and the athletic picture at EHS last year, and also Springfield winning the hoop title. This went on while he was getting ready. Naturally, the ball players must be at the Btadlum early, so we then headed for the field. Ford introduced me to several of the boys, and they have some really nice fellows. I might add that his roommate Is Charley Schanz, a swell fellow.

He pitched for San Diego last year, and had pitched for Salem, so the names of Bud Brewer, Roy Helser, etc, weren't loo far distant to him. "It was a good double-bill, and the Phillies won both by one run (I make a good luck charm). Ford thought It was their first double-header victory, but some of the others said they had stopped the Giants twice before. But the doubleheader was a long one, and after the game Ford just had time to get dressed. We went to dinner and I had to catch the train back.

But you don't know how it felt Just io have someone know what you were miking about when you mentioned Willamette Street, or EHS, and it was Just like old times before some game back home. "As for the Phillies, they have a pretty fair club and a nice mound bluff. Ford said that if the Cubs had the Phillies pitching they would be one of the best In the circuit the Cubs have a top infield, and superb outfield, but are weak in the battery department. The Phillies have probably the best fielding outfielder Flaherty May Coach Tunney's Grid Club SPOKANE, 14-W Lt. Raay Flaherty, former coach of the Washington Redskins, now a physical fitness officer at the Farragut, Idaho, naval training center, said yesterday he intended to go back into professional football after the war but as yet had made no definite commitment in the face of a number of offers.

Flaherty's statement was made for games with Whitman, Gonza-ga, Eastern Washington College of Education and several service teams and dates with those teams are now being sought, graduate manager Earl Foster announced today. Foster said most of the games with non-conference opponents will be added to the 1944-4S basketball card before the. northern division opener here Jan! 8 and 9 against Oregon.

Chalky Wright Faces NBA Suspension After Refusing to Meet Wilson WASHINGTON, Sept, 14. (U.R) Fighter Chalky Wright faced suspension in the District of Columbia and in all states affiliated with the National Boxing Association today because of his failure to go through with a scheduled bout tonight against Jackie Wilson. The fight, originally scheduled for Tuesday night, twice was postponed because of rainy weather, but after the second delay Wednesday Wright returned to New York with his manager, Eddie Walker.

Promoter Joe Turner said Walker had told him that Wright decided not to go through with the bout after the delay because of a proposed fight with Willie Pep for the featherweight championship at Madison Square Garden in New York, Sept, 29. The suspension, If effected, would not have any bearing on the title fight since New York is not under the jurisdiction of the N. B.
