Bowling Leaders Changed ST. PAUL, MINN. OJ.R)—As the 41st annual American Bowling congress swung into its sixth daylong session today, tabulation of results showed only one of the ori glnal pace setters on tho list of leaders. After the most sensation weekend in B. C.

history, eight more changes were recorded Monday on the lists of the 12 leaders In each of the four divisions of the tournament. Only the Cedar Inn team of Milwaukee, with a score of 2775 made on the opening day, still was on the ninth place. The Gruback funeral home team of Detroit led with a score of 2829. Monday's competition was highlighted by the fourth total of 700 or better in the singles event when Edward Bock, a Hammond, steel worker, cnalked up an even 700 with game scores of 248, 232 and 220, giving him fourth place honors. New names appeared in second and third places on the board's list of doubles leaders.

They were James Lynch and Howard Vauth- erot, Detroit, (12SS) and Anton Jerabek and Walter Stand, Waukegan, 111., (1267).

Ben Hogan Favored PINEHURST, N. C. Ben Hogan, defending champion and leading money winner for the past two years, was such a top-heavy favorite to repeat his 1940 triumph in the north and south open golf tournament which begins its 72-hole schedule today that he was ranked at even money in the betting. Lee Savold Wins ST. PAUL, MINN.

Sa- Told, St. Paul and Des Moines heavyweight, knocked out Henry Wacker, Chicago Negro, in the second round of their scheduled 10- round bout Monday night. Wacker won the first round, but was dropped for the count in the second when Savold landed a couple of wild hooks. SAN ANTONIO, TEX. St.

Louis Browns had a stiff workout scheduled for today in preparation for an exhibition game with the Minneapolis Millers at New Fraunfels, Wednesday. Manager Fred Haney said Johnny Berardino would be out of action for about a week with a sprained ankle. Brownies Will Be a Better Club Should Have One Of Best Second Base Combinations BY GEORGE KIRKSEY SAN ANTONIO, TEX. St. Louis Browns are no longer a humpty-dumpty ball club.

They were the most improved team in the American league last season, climbing 24 games above their 1939 record. If they could improve that much in 1941, they'd challenge for the pennant. But considering their present pitching plight, the Browns do not figure to make any gestures at the pennant this season. The main goal of Manager Fred Haney is to climb out of second division and deal a K. 0.

blow to Old Kid Gloom who has bullied the Browns since they plunged into the lower regions in 1930. Coming up from last to sixth place and increasing their percentage by .156 points was quite a feat for the Browns last year. They beat the first division clubs in 42 games, dealing a crushing blow to the Yanks and breaking even in 22 games with the second-place Indians. Strong At Second "Our club is going to continue its improvement," Haney says. "Our two rookie stars, Judnich and Swift, will be better with a year under their belts, and Berardino, who was shifted to shortstop last season, will be an improved player at his new post.

We made more double plays than any club in the league last year and I think we'll show a second-base combination second to none this season. Our main worry centers around the pitching staff. If we get some good pitching we certainly can challenge for a first division berth." The Browns' pitching ranks are thick with ca-stoffs and veterans trying comebacks. Haney was so successful with Eld on Anker, who was cut adrift by the Red Sox and won 16 games for the Browns last season, that he plucked off four more veterans last winter. Johnny Allen was bought from the Indians, George Caster from the Athletics and Fritz Ostermuel- ler and Denny Galehouse from the Red Sox.

Other veteran castoffs already with the Browns include Ver- noh Kennedy and Roxie If five of these veterans could duplicate their best pitching years in the majors, the Browns would be a five-alarm fire. Muse over these figures: i Won Lost Year Allen 15 1 1037 Caster 16 20 193S Kennedy 21 193S Auker ---IS 7 "35 Lawsor; 18 7 1037 O'stermueller 13 5 193S Total 101 49 It's too much to expect anything like that to happen, but if only three of the. group hit on all cylinders, then the Browns are going to be really tough.

The Ames high school cagers run down the curtain on the 1940-41 cage season Monday afternoon, checked in suits and elected Romaine Woodward as captain for the past season. The blue feeling which followed the loss to Nevada Saturday night was fading in the Little Cyclone camp, and all the lads were hopeful that the Cubs would go far in the sub-state at Cedar Falls. There were no alibis; only the expression that Nevada played some mighty fine ball A checkup of the season's record reveals that the Little Cyclones had more than a fair season, winning 12 and losing seven.

Of the seven games lost, four losses were to teams which also were beaten during the season, namely Oskaloosa, Newton, Boone and Nevada. It also might he pointed out that the seven losses were by margin of 24 points, two losses being by one point, two by two points, one by four, one by five and one by nine points. The record of total points shows that Ames made 617 points, to 504 for opponents. Incidentally, that record shows that the current team was stronger offensively than the state runersup of 1940; but the current team was weaker defensively.

Nicholas also started 13 straight games as a sophomore, but left the lineup because of illness in the late season. Jackie Wolle of Sioux City and James Kiser of Paullina are the leading doubles team in dormitory bowling at Iowa State college. Their total for three games topped recent competition. Kiser also had he highest game, 236 pins, and the best series, 568 jpins, during tournament play. Grover Miehe, Iowa State bas- I ketball squadman, has won his letter in another field than athletics.

He earned the dairy judging team presented at Block and Bridle club initiation ceremonies. Miehe's home is at Maynard. Alpha Chi Kho fraternity's four- man handball team is champion of its intramural games division at Iowa State. Elmer Elliott of Clare, 111., Wiliiam Keehn of Cedar Rapids, John Knorr of Des Moines and Myrus Knutson of Ames were members of the winning squad. Championship competition in archery will be held at Iowa State college during the 1941 Veishea celebration, for the first time.

Open classes, as well as college and high school divisions, will compete. Roger Lapp of Iowa City is entry chairman. Robert Pierce of Columbus Junction is general chairman of the event. Training Camp Notes CUBS WANT SOME LUCK LOS ANGELES, CALIF. The Chicago Cubs hope for better luck today when they move to Ana- I lieim for their fourth exhibition game with the Philadelphia Athletics.

Monday the A's made it three in a row, defeating the Cubs, 12 to 11, in a thrill-packed game at Los Angeless. Clay Bryant is scheduled to start on the mound for the Chicago club. YANKS BEAT CARDS CLEARWATER, FLA. (UP.) Hugh Casey and Rookie Steve Rachunok will pitch for the Brooklyn Dodgers in their exhibition Scoring in the Central Iowa conference shows that Bob Morris of Boone was first with 106 points and Woodward second with 104. And Morris played 10 full conference games, whereas Woody missed the Newton contest because of Cal Johnson of Marshalltown had 94 points, Seibert of Oskaloosa 93 (and there's a sophomore you'll be hearing from again), Ahrens of Grinnell 92, Ferree of Oskaloosa 81, Dunham of Marshalltown 73, McCain of Grinnell 61, Kester of Ames 55, Carlson of Marshalltown 53 and Shugart of Ames 49.

We're not particularly supersti- tutious, but it does seem that this just wasn't Ames' year to play in the state finals. In 1936 Ames copped the state title; the following year Ames was stopped at the sectional. In 193S Ames finished in third place; 1939 was just a fair year. In 1940 the Little Cyclones won second spot in the finals, and now the season ends with a section trophy added to the show case. According to that record, Anies should have another strong year next year, but judging by the strong crop of junior high players coming up in two years, it may be 1943.

However, is one game which can not be predicted in advance; neither by the year nor by the week. But whatever the record may be, you fans who have watched Ames high sports over the years may continue with the ioyal and confident spirit that you'll see some fine playing by a crop of fine boys. Gordon Nicholas, senior center on the Iowa State college basket- hal Iteam, started every game during his last two seasons. The Cyclone co-captain, who comes from Lawton, scored 174 points this year to lead the squad for MANSON, IA.

THE SCOREBOARD BY HARRY GRAYSON NBA Service Sports Editor ASCAR VITT as manager of the Portland Coast League club couldn't be much farther away from the mutinous Cleveland players of last season, but that isn't far enough to suit the cry babies. And with a description of his Portland team, they now hear Ol' Ostracized Vitt wail all the way from his Percherons' training base in Santa Monica, Calif. This doesn't displease the malcontents of 1940, who have a news print picture of Chatterbox Vitt stuck up on the bulletin board of their Ft. Myers, clubhouse. The deposed boss is bedecked in a gaudy, striped uniform.

The caption reads, "Back to the Bushes." "yiTT'S Portland job is not without its advantages. His AA ath- letes won't be so easily insulted. They're too slow to savvy. Vitt won't miss winning the pennant by a game with the stationary outfit he now has. He'll miss winning it with plenty to spare.

Neither is there the slightest danger of Vitt giving his noble athletes the jitters. If he could awaken them to that, extent, he'd be a sensation in Oregon. But heavy-footed old men and fuzzy-faced kids too young for the draft probably will send Vitt's blood pressure a racing, for indications are that unless some major league club gets bighearted, Portland will finish little higher than it did last fall, when it landed in the dark confines of the basement. The Portlanders are not dubbed the Percherons for nothing. They move with all the agility of draft horses.

TJTAVING struggled through the rebellion of last June, however, Vitt can put up with most anything at this stage, and he's still getting good money. Judge Landis made Alva Bradley give him an extra $2500 bonus for not managing Cleveland, and Portland presented him with a $10,000 contract as the highest-priced pilot in the circuit. And there are no swinging doors leading to the office of the Portland club's president, Ed J. Schefter, a retired drug manufacturer. Nor would the Portland players have.life enough to use -them if there were.
