The Texas League and Western Association, Oklahoma's professional leagues, may have suspended, but they'll have a potent substitute one that will show the state some major leaguers in action, right at home. Lieut. Charles Gelbert, USN, late shortstop for the St.

Louis Cardinals, is sponsoring a six-team leap-tie. manned almost entirelv bv professionals, many of them? from the big leagues. Gelbert will be trainer and play for his naval training base team at Norman, Okla. He's right happy over his prospect, too. His starting battery likely will consist of Al Benton, Detroit pitcher, and Benny Warren, Philadelphia catcher.

Out in the field he has ex-Dodger John-; ny Rizzo, and with some promising minor leaguers around, he isn't much worried about filling out the spots in between. When he takes on the Naval air station team, also from Norman, he'll meet pitcher Jim Winford, an old Cardinal teammate. Other members of the league, which starts a 60-game schedule May 15, are the Enid Army Flying School; Will Rogers Air Base, Oklahoma City; Naval Gunnery School, Purcell; and Tinker Field, Oklahoma City. All of the competing teams are well supplied with professionals including many who performed creditably in leagues up to and including Class AA last year.

Show Nervousness As had been suspected, Dunellen actually got past its toughest tournament hurdle last week when the Destroyers defeated Roxbury, 35-31. The South Jersey quintet was not in the same class with the Destroyers who had things all their own way after the first half when they suffered a slight case of tour-'ament jitters.

Following the game, Oscar F. Thompson, president of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Ath letic Association, presented Dunellen Coach Burt Van Buren the Group 1 championship trophy which last season went to Wildwood. The seashore school did not defend its title this season. Egg Harbor made a ball game of it in the first half which ended in a 13-13 tie principally because of 6 foot 3-inch Phil Boyd who dominated the backboards and scored 12 of his team's points before going out on personals midway in the third stanza. Dunellen obviously had the jitters in the opening periods but after the intermission, the Destroyers were a changed team and moved the ball with the same speed and cleverness they had against Roxbury to set up basket after basket.

They outscor- ed the Wine City, 22-5, in this stan za making 12 points in a row at the start. Chick Lush touched off the spree with four straight baskets before a minute of the period had elapsed. Paul Rabouin, playing one of his finest games, Ned Dillon and Bob Bowman combined for the re maining counters. Inserts Reserves In the closing chapter Van Buren inserted his second stringers, headed by Bill (Stub) Hayles, but the Destroyers still couldn't be stopped and ran up a 9-2 domination to give Dunellen the most decisive title vic tory of the day. Rabouin, who with Petey Sahar- ko forms the Destroyers' slick back-court combination, tied Boyd for scoring honors as each threw in 12 points.

Both made four field goals and as many fouls. Dillon and Lush also scored four baskets each Although he made but four points, Hayles did a remarkable job hold ing the team tog-ether in the second period. How completely Egg Harbor was outplayed once the Destroyers started to move is revealed in the final statistics. The South Jersey quintet made only six field goals, four by the towering Boyd. Dunellen sank 18.

Celebration of the victory in the locker room was typical of those staged by major league clubs on the clinching of a pennant. Firecrackers turned the room into a madhouse. With the triumph the Destroyers finished the season with a record of 15 wins in 19 starts, including three tourney successes. In addition to Roxbury and Egg Harbor, the Destroyers beat Scotch Plains in their opening tournament engagement. Lineups: Dunellen Hgg Harbor a.

Others who joined the Hearts when they reached senior ball were Walt Or-loff, Charley Kroog. Eddie Kane and Jimmy Caffrey. Caffrey and Kane are in the Army while Orloff classified i-A in the draft. Sacred Hearts won the Tri-City championship in 1942 following Intermediate and light-senior division city titles the previous two seasons.

New York (JP) For the first time since they've been in the National Hockey League, the-New York Rangers finished a dead last this season. They were so weak they busted the "goals against" record by a country mile and nearly set a record for a losing streak. But when the returns were In the club made $1,100 more than last year not Including $10,000 or so receipts from their Red Cross game.

Stevens Meets Dowl in Newark Newark Walter Stevens, Newark's blonde bombshell, Army-bound after having passed his physical last Thursday, and Eddie Dowl, dusky Third Warder, will clash in their much talked about return bout in the Laurel Garden ring here tonight. Tonight's skirmish will be fought over the odd nine-round route, this coming as a compromise figure after Jimmy Wilde, Stevens' pilot, wanted 10 rounds and Carmine Bilotti', Dowle's pilot, wanted no more than eight heats. Their initial go, a sensational plugging match, ended near the end of the seventh round with Stevens earning a TKO victory.

Up until the time the bout was stopped the Third Ward Negro had en- joved a comfortable margin on points, having won from the second to the sixth round. Dowl was leading his man early in the seventh round, too, until he ran into a wild light which ended the tiff. nih Tones ttie ever popular nncl hard hitting Port Newark soldier, will meet Jimmy Gordon of New York in the eix-round semifinal.

Their semifinals victory over Weequahic of Newark ended Thursday night with only an additiona point's margin, 38-36. Saturday's final was won in an overtime period on a layup shot by the shore team's red-haired forward, George Smock. It was a similar goal by Smock, also in the last minute of play, that won Thursday's game over Weequahic. Trenton scored 14 points in tha final quarter to earn the tie that sent the game to overtime. The record showed Asbury leading, 17-7 at the end of the first quarter, but by the half its lead had dropped back to 19-17.

Hoppe Enjoys Gruelling; Tour Of Army Camps Philadelphia (JP) Billiard ace Willie Hoppe is taking a little rest these days by playing a gruelling, three-day, 300-point exhibition match with a former world champion, Otto Rieseit.

He calls it "a vacation," and means it because, he says, on his current exhibition tour of Army camps "I've played more billiards in six months than I've ever played before in any three years." At some of the bigger Army camps I've been at the table eight hours a day, seven days a week," he smiled. "So you can understand that this little three-day duel with Otto, tough as he is, is in the nature of a vacation. In some camps I play 1,800 points a day straight, rail, three-cushion and pocket bil liards." The 54-year-old former boy won der says he's having the time of his life. "Never before have" I played before such large and responsive crowds. At Fort McClellan.

in Alabama, I played before 6,500 boys, which. believe, is the largest crowd tnat ever saw a billiard match. "That match was played in the open air, the table set on the floor of a stadium that seats 10,000. Here was a thrill that topped the heart throbs I got back in 1906 when (at 17) I won the world championship from Maurice Vignaux in Paris." Like'Erwin Rudolph and Charlie Peterson, two other stars, Hoppe is touring- camps under the auspices of the Billiard Association of America. Usually he gives plain exhibitions but occasionally a service man volunteers to oppose Mis in a match.
