National League Stages Games For War Relief Today DUG OUTA. The SPORTS BAG E. C. "Doc" BMcball Chatter DASEBALL fans on both of the Rio Grande we itiU about the "unfortunate Incident" that occurred the Matamoros baseball park last Sunday. The incident the Harlingen Army Air Field team left the field in the sixth inning In protest against the umpiring behind the plate.

Western Parks Hoping To Hit $500,000 Mark Junior Loop Games Are In East Turned Back By Dodgers, Special Shoe Hal Peck A $75,000 Outfielder Baseball goes after its i third $500,000 War Relief goal tonight. Across 'the board in all four Western parks of thfe National League, gate happens that the writer jceipts go directly into has listened to arguments on jfunds. The situation will, both sides of the question. Per- rev ersed in the Eastern; haps that is natural due to one par the National on; July 26 and the American! program on scattered dates, League will stage its 8-gamej beginning July 7. i Baseball has raised an estimated $2,130,000 Jor the war effort Including relief games by each club In the majors In 1942 and 1943, two All-Star tilts and portions of two World Series gates.

Once again the slogan for the relief games Is "Hit The $500,000. Marie." St. Louis has a double feature In the playoff of the game of May 16 In addition to the regular tilt frith the Phillies. Freddy FHisiminpns' held a 9-4 lead In the seventh inning when the contest was called to allow the Phils to catch The Incident touched off a storm cf our Jobs on this newspaper-- sports. The question put to us with great regularity Is this "What Is your opinion of the affair?" We answer by saying that while we thought the umpiring was as bad as any we ever saw we do not think the HAAF- team should have quit.

In fact that Is Just about the exact words we used In the "post- game" discussion at the park. We told several of the players that we thought they should finish the game. We luiow several of the players on the HAAF team and In our book they, and those we do not know, are tops. We have been around baseball parks for many years and know of protest in St. Louis where it was cnnd "fighters" alleged the fans had not been fore- them to be pretty good "fighters when they think they are right about a rule or decision.

But of course in organized baseball they alleged warned by the Cardinal management of any deadline. Max Lanler's win streak was un- course in wi 1 it LOSE the argument with the broken and the on of umps. The games scheduled to be played in Matamoros last Sunday were not governed by organized baseball. There was simply an agreement to play Of course they were to be played under regular baseball rules but there was no Judge Landis around close. Because of this, the "unfortunate incident" occurred.

We believe the Harllnf en Army Air Field team should make another date with the Carta team of Matamoros for two and PLAY them. It Is our understanding they will be offered the date at July 9.

The Brewers refused the Athletics' offer of $50,000 and two players for Peck, now-the greatest prize in the minors and trailed by scouts of every major league club.

Becoming interested-in Peck's trouble and offering to help, a Milwaukee shoe man, who was not baseball fan, and put the outfielder back on his pins. C.

SPORTS ROUNDUP -By Hugh S. Fnllnton, the kid playing first base and swatting the ball for distance in i a yannigan game, he, addressed him thusly: "Young man, you are wild as a pitcher, but you look like a natural hitter. You have the heicht and reach and the psysical advantage a left-hand thrower has at first base. If I were you that is where I would play." Weintraub wasted five years in a futile attempt to get the ball over the plate'with something on it. Then he was switched to the where he was too slow and managers and scouts said he fielded a ground ball none too well.

Bill Terry grasped the first basing idea when Weintraub was recalled from Nashville by the Giants in early August, 1934. after hitting .401 establish a new Southern Association batting record. Through 19o5, Terry groomed Weintraub as his successor, but let him go to the Cardinals in the Burgess Whitehead deal.

When this didn't pan out, he ag packed up the business of being knocked around In Double A circuits.

Marshall weighed 194 pounds to Scott's 188. No knockdowns were recorded but in the eight Scott staggered his opponent with a body blow.

Both battlers boxed fast and furiously and each was cheered following every round. Superbly conditioned, both fighters felt each other out the first two rounds and then opened up. Scott's superior boxing skill gained him the verdict and although Marshall appeared the heavier hitter, Scott kept him off balance and he missed lethal swings Each received eye cuts as early as the fourth round.
