Here's the dope; Kracek has Just returned from Detroit and Indianapolis where he has finished never worse than third in nearly two months of racing. What more, he has a new car a hot one. As new as his 1941 -reputation, Kracek is throttling an Elta outboard which he pur chased only recently in Detroit Wednesday evening in Omaha he took on Walt Raines and Ralph Pratt, the Kansas Citlans who have been having their own way on the state fairgrounds oval here as in several nther cities.

Milwaukee, lainneapolia, a FAR IN FRONT eai aaaaaaMSt Washington Easy Winner, With Caltfornla In Second Place. By SID FEDER. POUGHKEEPSIE. N. June 26 (AP) It probably comes as no surprise to you to learn that, for competitive thrills, the annual intercollegiate regatta packs about cs much punch these days as target practice at the Empire State building, with over-ripe tomatoes as am munition.

4 i Wen As They Tleased. With rowing as a major indus try of the far west probably second only to making movies. it's setting so you know before hand itll be either Washington or California in a breeze. And when the Huskies of Washington rowed off and hid from the others along about dusk last evening, it was about as astonishing as finding a knife, fork and spoon at your place when you sit down to dinner. It was such a toft touch, you wondered if Washington and which chased the Huskies home, had any other reason for coming than to train a lot of young fellows bow to keep their waist lines down.

-Cox- Gets His Decking. Of course, the big guys who win have the fun every year of dunkang their little winning coxswain Into the Hudson. Vic Fomo got it yesterday for "cox- mg" bis third winning Husky crew. He did it two years ago with his freshman outfit last year with the jayvee boatload, and his year with a varsity that won by three lengths and looked like it could have come in by uuneen. With California bouncing in with the junior varsity affair this year, the east's only consolation was CornelTa triumph in the freshman two miles.

And this was accomplished probably only because the Huskies and the Bears didnt bring freshmen boatloads with them.

Trustees end other officials have been noncommittal on those sessions, but it was reported that at the last, on June 24, it was recommended that both Zuppke and Wendell Wilson, the Uiini athletic director, be asked to quit to clear up the muddled aituation.

Most observers agree that the situation has gone beyond the cooling off" stage. Many alum ni have been irked by Illinois' poor showing recently. Zuppke's teams, in the last six seasons, have won only 10 Big Ten games while losing 20. Last year, Illinois won its opener, then lost seven in a row. On the other hand, Zuppke has no notion of quitting.

I 1 I I I tr By PAT ROBINSON. TMEW YORK, June 26CNSj We had intended saying a few kind words about Lefty Grove and his 298th major league victory today. We also had in mind a few nice remarks about Monty Pearson's, grand comeback; about Johnny Rigney's 13-in-ning shutout, and about one Bill Harmon, an astonishing rookie who shows up as a catcher for the Phils in the first half of a twin bill and as a pitcher in the second half and does equally well in both spots. CANT KEEP THEM DOWN We'd grown tired of writing about Joe DiMaggio and the rest of the Yanks and had intended giving them a quick brush-off, but Joe and the rest cf the Yanks simply wont be ignored. And how are you going to overlook an outfit that has doggedly battled its way into first place as have the Yanks And how can we fan to men tion that Joe kept both his own and the Yankee streak alive by belting his sixteenth-homer? It simply cant be done, and so we are forced to remind you that Joe has now hit in 37 consecutive games with only four to go to tie the major league record and that the Yanks created another new record by getting 34 homers in a stretch of 20 straight games.

These an the facta and if the idiaas intend to stay close to the Yanks they'd better start pitching Bob Feller about every ether day. KED SOX COMING ON. The Yanks topped the Browns yesterday, 7 to 5, while old man Grove was subduing the Indiana, to 2. And note that Cronm's crushers are very much in the pennant race. Meanwhile, the Athletics were giving a few lessons to Schoolboy Rows to tame the Tigers, 9 to 4.

Rigney, whom Uncle Sam turned down because of a bad ear, hooked up with Sid Hudson of the Senators and they went, 13 heats, before Johnny came down in front 3 to 0. Sid gave only three hita up to the fatal inning. when two hits and an intentional pass fiUed the bases. Then he walked the next hitter unintentionally and the Sox proceeded to stage one of the rarest plays in baseball a successful triple steal. The Cardinals clung to their precarious ball-game lead over the Dodgers by pounding the Braves again, 6 to 2, while the Dodgers once more were ming the Pirates, 9 to 4..

The mail brings to this column requests for rulings pertaining to diamond disputes. First comes a Query from Hallam, Neb, as follows: "Two strikes on a batsman in last Sunday's Hallam-Cortland game. Batsman fouled the next pitch, the ball glancing from his bat to batsman's body. The umpire ruled it was a foul ban and no play could follow.

Team In the field protested that batsman should be called out on a third strike. What wis the proper ruling?" Answer: The umpire was right; he knew his stuff. It the batsman bad attempted to bunt on a third strike, resulting in a foul, he should have been called out, but if he swung at the ball and fouled it in the maimer described, be was entitled to prolong his time at bat A batsnaa ta Us boa Is ataafiof oa foul tarrilorr, whmior a pHcbtd baB etaadaf fern bet aaata bcrtnxaa kodr alwera abooU bt rated foot ANOTHER request comes from southern Nebraska in the Chester region; Recently I read in a Kansas City newspaper a baseball ruling which impressed me as being in correct. Here's the play: Batsman swung at a third strike and missed connecting with the ball Batsman, without looking to see if the catcher had caught the ban, turned away and started for the team bench. Meantime, the catch' er had muffed the strike.

After retrieving the ball, catcher threw wild over first Batsman then headed for first and gained the bag before the right fielder had returned the ban to first The Kansas City writer ruled that batsman was out for running out of the line to first Was that the correct ruling." Answer: The K. oracle was wrong; the batsman should, have been called safe at first The rule which permits a batsman being called out for running out of line on his way to first base was put in the book to provide punish ment for any interference with fielding the ban.
