It's down the home stretch to the wire the starting wire for some 60-odd Civic Recreation baseball and soft-ball league teams this week as they apply final touches, in preparation for the 1940 pennant chases, opening May 20.

Prom present indications, it's golns? to be the biggest baseball season In all history in Battle Creek. Tentatively, 68 teams are now scheduled to go to the "post" next week when opening games in the five baseball and five softball leagues are played. There's strong talk, too, that enough other teams will join the pennant-chasing pastime to bring the total to a new all-time high.

Russell Blair, 33 South Union, will, some time in July, seek to bring a second national aquatic championship to Battle Creek. Back in 1935 Lodema Dunbar, now Mrs. Lee Wiedenbeck, won the U. S. junior diving championship in Brooklyn.

Miss Blair will try to achieve the same thing this summer. Like Miss Dunbar, Miss Blair has won the Michigan high and low- board titles. Both women competed in National Senior A.A.U. meets, failing to win oh a i onships MISS BLAIR but performing notably. Each is a protege of LeRoy F.

Spa rks, who not so many years ago coached the MR. SPARKS Wilmington, high school team to a national crown. Long practice made each a star and a champion. Miss Blair's career has been studded with appearances In championship meets. In eight events she has won four times, placed second twice, third twice and fifth once.

Her first title was won August 8, 1937, at the Eastwood pool in Detroit, when she was acclaimed state high board champion. She added the Michigan low board title to her list of accomplishments on March 24, 1938. Martha was runnerup to Arllte Smith for the U. S. low board championship at the Medinah club in Chicago, April 11, 1938.

At Cincinnati August 20, 1938, she placed third in the National Junior championships and in December of the same year won a meet at the University of Michigan. Her single fifth place came at Chicago April 19, 1939, in the National A. A. U. meet, but two months later she defeated Thelma Boughner, Canadian champion, for the Michigan high board crown in Detroit.

Just a week ago Martha was victorious in the Mid-State A. A. U. meet at Purdue university, Lafayette, Ind beating the nationally famous Barbara Cook of Purdue for the championship. Such a record In only three years of competition results in the writer sharing Mr.

Sparks' optimism on Miss Blair's chances in the National Junior meet in July. Martha trains diligently under the watehful eye of her coach, but still attends to her Central high school work with such regard that she is a member of the National Honor' society. HOTTEST topic In Battle Creek golf circles and throughout the state concerned action of the Michigan P. G. A.

which declared Chick Harbert and Chuck Kocsis ineligible to compete in tournaments sanctioned by the P. G. A. When the story 'broke'' in the Enquirer and News last Sunday, the young Battle Creek pro. who only quit the amateur ranks February 27, had known of the P.

G. A. rule which requires a five-year apprenticeship for members ever since he applied for membership. Nevertheless, when officials of the P. G.

A. "officially" announuced that Harbert and Kocsis were "barred" from its tournaments, a storm of criticism arose. It became state, wide. Its effect was startling at home. All day long last Sunday at Battle Creek Country club, where Chick is the new pro, and at Marywood, where his father, Elmer, is pro.

sympathetic relatives, friends and just plain golfers bombarded the two Harberts with queries on the ruling. Most of the well-wishers had merely glanced at the headlines which apparently made young Chick a golf outlaw. But the story ex-: plained the P. G. A.

ruling. But the Associated Press dispatch could not explain the feeling in ZIHH Cope. 1940, CELEBRATED was with the DEMISE IN PARIS Harry Bailey Injures Finger After Given 5-0 Lead By Broncos. KALAMAZOO (JP) Western State was leading Michigan State 5-0 when Harry Bailey, Bronco Hurler, injured a finger in the eighth inning and lost control. Johnson, who succeeded him, was ineffective and Michigan State won, 7-5.

Gene Hamilton, final Bronco Hurler, stopped the Spartans. Bailey had allowed only three hits until the eighth, when he gave up two more and walked two men before he was relieved.

There will be games each day of the week Monday through Friday. Baseball facilities In Battle Creek generally conceded to be among the finest of any city its size in the landwill be taxed to capacity to accommodate the 70-odd games that must be played each week to round out full schedules for all of the teams. Under recreation plans, each team will play twice each week. That means a full complement of games each week, providing there are 70 teams in the leagues, will total 70, or an average of 14 a day for each of the five playing days. Bailey park, largest of the baseball recreational centers of the city, has six baseball diamonds and two softball fields.

Therefore, at least six other playing fields, either for hardball games or softball, must be provided. Plenty of fields are available, of course, among them diamonds at W. K. Kellogg plant and Post Products, at the American Legion hospital, the Veterans Facility and at Urbandale, to mention only a few, but efforts of civic recreation officials have been given over to a centralization of the games insofar as possible.

WASHINGTON LICKS A'S NEW YORK (JP) The Boston Red Sox pushed over two runs in the 11th inning yesterday to hand the Yanks their 8th straight loss. The score was 9-8. It was the second time in two days that last year American league runnersup clippt-d the champions by a one-run margin in an extra inning game.

"Fireman" Johnny Murphy, the fourth Yankee pitcher to mount the mound, was the victim of the belated uprising. Jim Tabor opened with a double, went to third on a sacrifice and scored on pinch hitter Lro Nonnenkamp's fly. They got the clincher on Lou Finney's double and Doc Cramer's single. Hemsley'a Hit Deride CLEVELAND (JP) With the bases loaded, Rollie Hemsley connected for a ninth-inning single to give Cleveland a 1 to 0 victory over the St. Louis Browns.

The hit ended a pitching duel between Emil BildillL southpaw who recently held the New York Yankees to two blows, and Cleveland's Johnny Allen. Each allowed fire hits. The victory wa the Tribe's fourth straight.

G. A. is concerned. It is no secret that Harbert and Kocsis rank near the top in Michigan golf. They probably could outclass other state pros in tournament play.

The P. G. A. has taken care of that possibility by declaring the two ineligible. Chick and Chuck will play in most of the important tournaments, however, since the P.

O. A. sponsors few meets. The pair will miss a few of the choice pro-amateur events, but will take part in all invitational tournaments, which are always ignored by the P. G.

A. They will always be invited, too. for Harbert and Kocsis are names kno-n throughout the land wherever golf is played. SPORT SQUIBS: Vern Ganson, who is pitching softball in Saginaw this season, won 8 straight practice games. The new Battle Creek Majors could use a player of his ability.

The 1938 total Of 60 teams was two more than the 1937 number, which was three less than the 61 teams competing in 1D36. Official records of recreational baseball date from 1925, when 16 teams made up the two circuits competing under the banner of the civic recreation organization. By 1930, the number of teams had Jumped to 30 and in the following year a record growth of 11 teams was noted.

Increasing the number to 41. In 1932. 52 teams competed, despite the "depression." By 1933 the number had grown to 65 but for the first time in the history of recreation baseball, a decrease was noted in 1934 when the number of competing teams dropped to 54. The next year, 1935, the leagues had regained their former strength with a total of 56 teams In the running. The number t.MTns romrwt.lriT in siiceedlne years to the present time has been heretofore stated.

'Here's Baseball Set-Up Though schedules are yet Incomplete, and even the makeup of the different leagues has not yet been definitely determined, here Is the tentative plans for the baseball leagues: Class AA, supplanting the class A-l league of last year and reestablishing the old class AA circuit, will get away as a four-team circuit. Class A-l, supplanting the class A-2 league of last season, will start as an eight-team circuit. Class A-2. the class B-l league of 1939, will open as an eight-team group. Class B-l and class B-3 teams, the same as these classes last year, also will leave the starting gate as eight-club leagues.

In the softball leagues, these circuits have been listed: Class A-l, class A-2, class A-3, each of eight teams; a four-team service league made up of Kiwanls, Lions and Rotary club entries and the Delts; and a four-team girl's league, headed by Van's, the same team that, under the name of Ernie's Paint and Bump Shop, won the 1939 title. All but two of the pennant-winning clubs will be back after new laurels this year with the rest of the clubs contesting their championship titles every inch of the way.

DETROIT (JP) They celebrated "Gehringer day before a crowd of 24,525 baseball fans at Briggs stadium Saturday but the Chicago White Sox wouldn't cooperate for a Tiger victory and scored a 1 to 0 victory after a bitter pitching duel in which each team got only two singles. Charley Gehringer, veteran Tiger second baseman who reached his 37th birthday today, lived up to baseball tradition by going hitless in four times at bat on the day staged in his honor. In the end the hero was Jack Knott, White Sox righthander, who celebrated his 23rd birthday on March 2.

Knott, who pitched for the St. Louis Browns until two years ago, needed one of the best games of his career to beat Tommy Bridges. Each hurler fanned six men and Knott walked three and Bridges two. Wild Pitch Costly Many baseball games are lost on a single pitch and that was the case today. Bridges uncorked a wild heave in the third inning and the Sox combined this slip with then- two blows for their run.

With one gone Mike Tresh hit a slow roller toward third and got a base hit when Bridges slipped as he picked up the ball. The fatal wild pitch enabled Tresh to reach sec ond and he scored on Bob Ken nedy's single to right. That was the ball game as Knott remained the master of the situation the full route. In the sixth Bruce Campbell got Detroit's first hit, a single to center after two were out, but he was left stranded when Eric McNair grabbed Gehringer's liner. In the ninth Dick Bartell, lead ing off, singled to center and the speedy Prank Metha was put in to run for him.

Campbell sacrificed and Metha reached third on Gehringer's grounder to Kuhel. Earl Averill then filed to Mike Kreevich and the game was over. U. OF D.
