Jim Danek of Forest Park, 111., lost his singles championship when he hit 497. John Taylor of Coiling-dale. earlier had rolled 730, the mark with which Danek won in 1939. Charley McAhespie of Lancaster, hung up 12 strikes in the ninth frame of- his last singles game to miss the 300 game perfect mark.

He began his final game with a cluster of eight strikes but in tossing his ninth shot hit his ankle and sent the ball Into the gutter. He finished with four strikes for 270 and a 685 total good for eighth place. Harlan Ingwalson of 111., placed ninth in the singles with 684. Straight to the clubhouse he stormed. Hours later the footballers dragged in.

There, in Coach Caw-thon's writing, was a large sign: "Any character depicted in today's practice was strictly fictitious and any similarity to a real foo'ball player or team Jiving or dead, wes purely coincidental." his two no-hit games he was able win only, five games while losing eleven for Syracuse. As soon as he finds his control again, hell be the Vander Meer of old." Arm is Trifle Sore Vander Meer admits his arm is a trifle sore in the shoulder but hie does not believe it anything more than a spring ache. My arm doesn't hurt until I cut loose with everything I have and then I get a sharp pain in the shoulderi" he said. i'If-l dont cut loose I dont feel any hurts or pains. I had a real sore arm last year but It's nothing like that In the face of flood of criticism and advice, Vander Meer is showing a world of fortitude without whimpering or cursing his luck.

"Every day somebody tries to tell me what I'm doing wrong," he said, "or tries to change my style or give me a lecture on how to pitch. It gets pretty boresome to have to listen to some, of it. I listen but it goes in one ear and out the other. If Bill McKechnie, Jimmy Wilson and Hank Gowdy cant help me, then might as well quit pitching. I think they know all there is to know about pitching and I am going to go along with what they say." Johnny admits control is -the mental hazard that bothers him most.

He is constantly working to Improve it and as a' result has looked bad in a few exhibition games. 11 mi 1.1 ipmuiwubii 11 Hiiwamm 1 llT lir- 0 LeRoy Edwards, above, OshX. kosh All-Star great center, and Shorty" Lehman, right, Eau Claire Teachers college brilliant all-conference pivot man tbe last three years, will clash tonight lu a batte of centers when tbe Oshkosh All-Stars meet the College All-Stars at the hljh school gym.

((AP) The heavyweight boxing situation has reached a pretty pass when the champion, to keep active, must adopt the Shaughnessy system in defending his title and take two out of three from' the challengers before they are eliminated. That's just about what has happened, with three men already one down to Joe Louis rated as the outstanding contenders, to use the word In the broad sense; They are Bob Pastor, TonycGalento and Arthuro Godoy.

All but Godoy went out in the comparatively early innings, and Just why any of them should want to expose himself to another earth quake is hard to understand, although it is admitted that dollars make themselves clear in any language. Pastor already should be out ac cording to the Shaughnessy rules, as he has twice been defeated, but one of the defeats came during the regular season, or before Louis was champion, and can be overlooked, and anyway he has stood up longerabout 21 rounds against the bomber than any other man. Fresh Out of Victims Louis has defended his title ten times against ten different oppon ents, but at last seems to be fresh out of new. victims. In fact, he was fresh out before last Friday night, but nobody knew that Johnny Pay- chek's knees would do his only hit-tingf although many suspected it.

Opponents will bob up in" the distant future, but that doesn't help the situation right now. Billy Conn might swell up into a heavy- Bobby Jones Still Master of Golf Shots By BILL BOM AUGUSTA, April 2 (AP) Augusta still is the master of every shot. Before the Big gest and most enthusiastic gallery of this practice day for the coming Augusta national golf tournament, Bobby Jones shot a six-under-par 66 today to brink back vivid memories of the Jones of old. Almost shunted to the sidelines of his own tournament by a back ail ment in weeks, Bobby has bounced up again and is hitting the ball as handsomely as he ever did. When he completed todays round over the course he designed himself.

he had played his last 27 boles in an even 100 strokes, and was eight un der par that distance. The pride of Georgia teamed up with Charley Yates, the lad who once looked like his successor, against Horton Smith and Bud Ward, the national amateur cham pion. This latter was the combine that had won the St. Augustine pm amateur tournament. But this time they were up9 against more than they could handle as Yates backed Bobby's 66 with a 68 of his own to bring in a 4 and 3 victory.

From the waythie gallery acted, you'd have thought Bobby was back trying for a repeat of that fabulous 1930 "grand slam." They cheered him all the way around, and on this beautiful, summer-like afternoon the sound of their applause echoed and reached out to wherever Others in the masters' field were making their shots. They're all pulling for him. There's nothing the paid-to-play boys would like better than to see Bobby shoot a 66 or 67 in the opening round on Thursday. They'd move the whole city or Atlanta over here, and you wouldn't be able to pack 'em all onto the course said open Champion Byron Nelson, who had. a '66 of his own while taking two Argentine Invaders, Martin Pose and Enrique Ber-tolino, on a tour of the handsome layout- I beat Louis, although with just what nobody knows.

He returned to action too soon after a battle with the flu, and dropped the decision to one Art Whlters, a 220-pounder who is tougher than a morning after. And we still have hopes for our Pat Comiskey, the Paterson lad who hit so hard his last time out he broke his hands. He's only about 20 years old. Each of the three so-called leading contenders has a talking point in arguing for a rematch.

Pastor has distance in his favor, although ft would be much more in his favor if he kept it between himself and Louis. Galen to had the Bomber on the floor, and Godoy stayed the full 15 rounds, and lost on a split decision. How he stayed is something else again, but he and on his feet. Of the three only Galento has done anything of note since meeting Louis. He defeated Lou Nova, who had defeated Max Baer.

Pas tor took a decision in a bout down in Texas, but Godoy still is basking in the glory of his moral victory, and refuses to meet any other fighter even socially until he gets a chance at Louis again.

(UP) The strange case of Johnny Van der Meer, Cincinnati Reds' brilliant young southpaw who authored two successive no-hit, no-run "games in 1938, had some of baseball's heaviest thinkers completely perplexed. They don't know whether Johnny has shot his bolt and is through for ever as a major league pitcher or whether he is likely to master his big bugaboo, CONTROL, and scale the heights again, Vander Meer has been wild arid erratic this spring, and at times he appeared to have lost complete confidence in his ability to win again. Then there have been flashes of his blinding speed which the game's best hitters agree is the llyest pitch in baseball. When Vander Meer's fast ball comes singing and dancing down the alley under control, few hitters can get a loud foul off him. A report circulated that Vander Meer was headed back to the minors after "a Cuban named Alejandro Crespo hit a 420-foot homer off him with the bases loaded during the Reds' invasion of Havana for a series with the Cuban all-stars.

The rumor was erroneous but served to emphasize the fact that the Reds haven't eyen considered Jetting Vander Meeriget away from them, The regular meeting of the Stan-Will Walt Long Time In the first place, the Retis couldn't get Vander Meer out of the national league. And" in the second place the Reds are going to wait on Vander Meer a long time years if necesary before believing that he wont come back to become one of the game's greatest lefthanders. "Show me we can get a young left-hander with more stuff than Johnny," says manager Bill McKechnie. Warren Giles, business manager of the Reds, believes that Vander Meer will wake up some morning and find his old cockiness back again. "It's just a question of confidence with Vander Meer," said Giles.
