Harold Flickinger, a Siloam Springs, dentist, was going muskie fishing at the Lake of the Woods, he remembered stories he had heard about anglers whose crockery molars had popped out and had been engulfed by voracious The doc figured anything was worth trying so he attached two treble hooks and a spinner to an "upper metal base acrylic denture" and cast it into the water.

Free Lance-Star: "With the football season about to get under way, the wag on the corner has suggested that the fan who once took along a quart of alcoholic beverage when he went to a game in his neighbor's car bring along a quart of gasoline instead this fall." SERVICE DEPT. Zeke Bonura would like to land a big game, preferably against Mickey Cochrane' Great Lakes Sailors, for his Camp Shelby (Miss.J baseball team. "I think we could draw 30,000 people at White Sox Park in Chicago," Zeke claims.

LA1 though the Brooklyn Dodgers are eight games ahead in the Nations League, President Larry MacPhall still isn't satisfied. He called special meeting of players and newspaper men yesterday and raked his athletes over the coals because he said only six were "bearing down." Commenting on League Presi dent Ford Frick's recent ruling that managers will be subject to $200 fines If their pitchers throw "dusters" at rival batsmen, Mac-Phail said: "If they continue throwing at us, well throw 'em back two for one, and I don't care whether it costs $20 or $400."

Back from his vacation and ready for the gridiron grind, Bible declared that "from now on and for the duration the principal purpose of football will be to con dition the nation's men lor the armed services." Producing winning teams, says the coach of one of last fall finest elevens, will definitely take second place but won't be entirely neglected. This time football will be pri marily a game of participation, not specialization, and the trend will be more boys and still more boys, Bible added. In the past, the Texas mentor pointed out, coaches have molded relatively small groups of boys into units which have functioned with precision and finesse.

'Now this practice is to be sac rificed to herd more students into actual competition in an all-out effort to raise football's contribu tion to the war effort to maximum efficiency. "Increasingly boys are discov ering that football is more than a great sport it develops courage and self-reliance and, with the prospect of service in the fighting force, they know synchronization of mind and body demanded by the gridiron may mean in a grim mer game the hair's breadth dif ference between victory and de feat." Stagg's Job Gets Bigger With War STOCKTON. Aug. 13. UP) There's only going to be one change in the routine for 80-year-old Amos Alonzo Stagg this year.

He's going to handle two Jobs instead of one. The veteran football coach is Koine to train his College of the Pacific squad his 53rd campaign without the aid of an assistant. Ralph Francis, second in command last year, is in the army. Stagg's reaction to the chore: "I don't think any of our op nonents wil run over us." The opponents include such teams as the University of Wash ington and the star-studded navy pre-flight school at Moraga. Hale and hearty as his 80tn birthday approaches.

Stagg be lieves the war will have but little effect on the game, and when it's over there will be an expan sion in eridiron interest. "I don't think the war win affect the quality of the teams very much, especially at the larger universities," said the white-hair ed mentor who coached University of Chicago teams through the Spanish American and World wars. "The big schools have so much material in normal times that they never utilize all of it. There Is still plenty of it available for good football teams." Service League Game Postponed The scheduled City Service League game yesterday between the Lauderdale Athletic Club and Coast Guard was postponed and will be played later this month as part of a doubleheader. The teams met yesterday in a practice tilt at West Side Park with the LAC winning a 4 to 1 decision in five innings.

Aug. 13. UF Two fine southern golfers, Betty Jameson of San Antonio, Texas, and Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta, promised to furnish one of the sharpest duels In today's quarter final matches of the Women western Amateur tournament. The pattern of the pairings sheet didn't make possible their meeting in the finals as they did in the National Women's Amateur meet of 1939, which Miss Jameson won, 3 and 2. But both girls are in top form after three days of tournament competition at Sunset Ridge, and today's winner stands a good chance of going on to Saturday's final round.

Yesterday, while the six other matches were carried to the 17th or 18th greens, Miss Jameson blasted Arlene Tweet of Green Wis 6 and 4, and the Atlanta girl mowed down Mrs. George Wilder of Kenosha, 7 and 6. The scores they posted in qualifying for today's clash were a far cry from the 2 up margin by which Mrs. Russell Mann of Omaha, the defending champion and upper bracket favorite, staggered through to win over Georgia Tain-ter. of Fargo, N.

D. Mrs. Mann Advances Mrs. Mann was pitted today against Mrs. Harold Sims of St.

Paul, who yesterday eliminated the Michigan state champion from Detroit, Marjorie Row, 2 and 1. In the other upper bracket match Mary Agnes Wall of Menominee, was paired against Claire Doran of Cleveland, Miss Dorah advanced at the expense of Sally Sessions of Muske gon, 2 and 1, while Miss Wall was beating Mrs. Prank May er of Chicago by the same count. In addition to the Kirby-Jame son clash, the lower bracket offered a meeting between the Illinois state champion, Virginia Ingram of Chicago, and the Indiana state title holder, Dorothy Ellis of Indianapolis. Miss Ingram, who is playing on her home course, won yesterday from Naomi Copic of Sylvania, 2 and 1, while Miss Ellis eliminated Ann Casey of Mason City, 3 and 1.

Valdosta Adds To League Lead AMERICUS, Aug. 13. CP) It took 10 innings of nipping and tucking for Valdosta's league leading Trojans to down the Cap itols of Tallahassee 6-5 in the fea ture game of the Georgia-Florida loop last night. The Capitols first took the lead in the second frame The Trojans tied Jt up in the first half of the fifth then Talla hassee went out in front in their half of the same inning. A single Trojan tally locked the score again in the ninth and three more runs in the 10th frame, in eluding a homer by Pluss, won for Valdosta but not until a Capitol rally had produced a brace of tallies in their half of the final frame.

Americus and Moultrie each booked 13 hits in their battle but it was unlucky only for the Packers who lost 7-4. Americus scored six of their seven tallies in the fifth and sixth stanzas with homers by Riley in the fifth and Moss in the sixth helping the cause along. Scoring all five of their runs in the fifth frame, the Dothan Brownies edged the Waycross Bears 5-3. Maxwell rapped Gau-treaux for Neither team made an error. Cordele and Albany ended even-stephen in their double bill with Albany taking the first one, 2-1, and Cordele copping the nightcap 9-5.

"Maybe I'm too old," said the 69-year-old White, after the Ambassador had won the purse of $20,489.91, "but I had a right smart horse in front of me and that can make up for a lot of years." The Ambassador Isn't the best horse White ever drove, for he has had four two-minute per formers In 40 years of riding sulky.

He paid $6,000 for His Excel lency and thought he had the 1941 race sewed up only to have Bill Gallon take the big pot after Strang's horse had come through in one heat. Two years ago he bid in the Ambassador, a brother cf His Excellency, for $5,000 but his luck looked none too good when the colt went lame and failed to start as a two- year-old.

But White brought him around. gave him a mark of 2:07 and ft fraction in his only other start and then came back after finish ing fifth in the first heat yester day. "I guess I've spent close to $100,000 for horses," said Strang "but, though I never won the Hambletonian until today, the game doesn't owe me a cent. I've had six other Hambletonian starters and all of them finished in the money." The victory brought revenge for Strang and White, a year ago it was Robert H. Johnston's Bill Gallon of Charlotte, N.

Bean-Ball Hurlers Get Heavy Fines NEW YORK, Aug. 13.

CP) President Ford Frick of the National League took steps to stop bean-ball throwing by notifying all managers that they will be held fully accountable for such incidents. In telegrams to the eight pilots, Frick said they would be subject to automatic fines of $200 where their pitchers were involved. Fines againat pitchers and players would be determined on the report of the umpires. Frick's action to stop bean-ball throwing, such as occurred in Sat urday's Brooklyn Dodgers-Boston Braves game at Boston and the re cent Dodgers-Cubs game In Chicago, came at the same time he fined Whitlow Wyatt of the Dodgers $75 and Manuel Salvo of the Braves $50 for their actions on the field Saturday. "And the important thing," said Frick "is that I am not going into a long investigation as to who started the bean-ball throwing.

2Bl.Y WAR SAVINGS BO.YDSE BY AUSTIX BEALMEAR (Associated Press Sports Writer) While it may never earn them citation from the Office of De fense Transportation, the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dod gers appear determined to save themselves and the baseball fans a lot of travel by keeping the 1942 World Series within range of a five-cent subway ride. Both teams won again yester day, which is hardly surprising in itself, but the secret of their continued success cropped out in the widely divergent methods they em ployed to accomplish the same result. The Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phils discovered what many others already knew about the Yankees and Dodgers that is, if they can't beat you one way, they'll beat you another. At Ebbets Field, the Dodgers went to bat in the ninth inning of a scoreless pitching duel between their ace, Lefty Larry French, and Rube Melton of the Phils. They loaded the bases on two singles and a walk and sent dangerous Dolph Camilli to the plate.

Camilli, however, didn lay a bat on the ball. He merely waited out a walk which forced the winning run across, giving the Dodgers the verdict, 1-0. Meanwhile, over in the Bronx, the Yankees went to bat against the Red Sox with the score tied in the last half of the ninth. They also loaded the bases with one away and brought up Charlie (King Kong) Keller. KELLER HITS HOMER WITH BASES LOADED Keller picked out a pitch he liked, slammed it 420 feet into the right-center field bleachers for his 18th homer of the year and Dresented the Yankees with an 8-4 triumph.

Brooklyn's success provided French with his 12th victory against only one loss, although his four-hitter was matched by Mei ton. but it didn't keep the St, Louis Cardinals from picking up half a game and reducing the Dodgers lead to eight lengths. The Card3 downed the Chicago Cubs twice. 9-4 and 8-3. John Beazley registered his 13th pitch ine victory in the opener, al though he yielded 10 of the 11 hits and failed to finish, and Har ry Gumbert pitched eight-hit ball as the Cards coasted through in the afterpiece on 13 blows, one homer by Enos Slaughter.

The Cincinnati Reds regained third place, with the help of the Boston Braves and the shutou pitching of Johnny Vander Meet "Double No-Hit" Johnny tos-, sed a three-hitter at the Pittsburgh Pirates in a night contest which the Reds won, 3-0, with Frank McCormick hitting three singles and a double in four appearances and driving in two runs. Earlier in the day, the Braves knocked the New York Giants loose from their hold on third place by sweeping a doubleheader, 1-0 and 8-2, ending the Giants five-game winning streak. Singles by Al Roberge and Tommy Holmes produced the only run of the first game as Al Javery blanked the Giants on seven hits, but the Braves' broke loose with 18 blows to win the nightcap easily for Lou Tost. In the American League, the Yankee victory gave Hank Borowy his 11th pitching success against only two defeats and stretched New York's lead to 13 games over the Red Sox. However, the Red Sox tightened their grip on second place since the Cleveland In dians dropped a doubleheader to the Detroit Tigers and watched their losing streak, mount to six games.

Murray Franklin's two-run sin gle led the Tigers to a 4-2 triumph in the first game and Hal New houser blanked the Tribe, 2-0, on five hits in the second, Elden Auker pitched the St. Louis Browns to a 6-3 decision nver the Chicago White Sox, but he had to be rescued in the ninth when the Sox scored all their runs.
