More than 4.000 came out in the rain to see the Washington game Herrisburg's island park. New Cumberland's crack pitcher is Tom Hughes of tha Phillies. Lynn Myers of the Cardinals and rat Mullen of the Tigers lead the attack.

These three are not the only high-class players on the team's roster a team that expects to take Norfolk in tow Sunday afternoon. Perhaps it won't aa Norfolk, with Phil Riizuto and many other stars, is on a par vith any big-league squad. Great Ikes will alo have something to say in a loud voice about any service title. Our navy believes, as does a large part of our army, that sport, bandied in the proper way, is something more than slightly important. But if army heads stick to their present idea that competitive sport doesn't belong in the picture today, we'll have to look to the navy for what we have left in baseball and football.

It is now well understood 11. at those colleges, for example, which have navy recruits can carry out at least some sort of a football program. The colleges taken over by the army, so far as football is concerned, will return to the deep-tangled wildwood, where the whangdoodle mourneth. I have contacted athletic director at many of these army campus grounds and they all tell me their case Is hopeless TinleK the war department changes its plan. This seems to be an extremely peculiar situation, with our two aervires so far apart.

"Here's the way it works out at Alabama." a former Rose B6wl star said. "We have now about 2.500 students enrolled at the university. But they are all, or practically all, in the army. They are tinder army control, army training, and no longer belong; to the university. Many of them want to play football.

"They believe they can keep up with their work and still find spare time for a few games with nearby rivals, jujch as Georgia and Georgia Tech. If Alabama were under navy control it would have a pretty fair team, with Frank Thomas on hand. "Rut under arm.v control, nn-e army gives Ita permission for football to go on, there will he no Alabama, team this fall." Most of the army men to whom I have talked I'd say about 95 per cent of them want competitive football to go along as it has at West Toint and Annapolis, where they also work 16 hours a day hsrder than any army' recruits will work at any college. I HAPPEN' TO KNOW HOW KEENLY THE CADETS AND MIDSHIPMEN FROM THE HUDSON AND THE SEVERN WANT FOOTBAIJ. I'm not speaking for morale on the so-called home front.

Maybe George, who is slightly publicity-conscious, realizes he got a million bucks worth of free advertising out of the pros' rebellion against wearing numbers last year. May's plan this time is to print last-minute programs showing'just who's who instead of sdopting the simple U.g.G.A. system of attaching the number to the golfer's bag.

wheVe it's in plain sight and doesn't even bother the caddie. BACK TO BROOKLYN: The Brooklyn bubble hadn't busted when Shag Shaughnessy, tha International hagua president, was talking about managers the other day, but his comments seem appropriate in view of some of the names suggested by writers who figure Leo Durocher won't be back on the job next yesr.

B.v Sid Feder. Aeroclated Free Sportf Writer.) There was that tune out of Tin Pan alley a while back about "The Dipsy Doodle That Gets in Your Hair," and National league batters, who've been breaking their backs on Rip Seweil's new Sunday pitch this season, tell you the guy who wrote this little number didn't know the half of it.

The way they tell it. In fact, this Is probably the funniest dip-sy-doo slant since, Wes Ferrell presented bis nut.hin' ball to a palpitsting public. That is, it's a Is ug to everybody but the hit ters. It's a little thing Sewell rooked up in his spare time and finally perfected, and since be discovered the "dodo." the. Pittsburgh Pirates' tulrler has become the leading elbewer In the National league.

At tha moment, he's sporting- slate of IS triumphs, including a 8-5 job over tha St. Louis Cardinals Friday. One batter described the tj" toss as a cross between a parachute jump and a -yo-yo, which gives you a rough idea. It's kind of crosseyed curve that breaks up and down instead of side to side. Rip throws it without any more steam than you'll find in a bowl of mush.

It was the subject of almost as much gassing and grousing at the all-star get-together in Phila delphia as the Brooklyn "rhubarb." This stew-pot, Incidentslly, has now simmered down to a. mere boil, what with Bobo New som. the strong, silent well, strong, anyway man, AGREEING TO REPORT TO THE BROWNS TP PITCH SUNDAY, just as everyone expected he would, even when he was howling loudest about the injustice of it all. Ducky Medwick, too. think his sale' to the Giants might be a good thing, on account of It'll get him out of Brooklyn.

And the bums, meanwhile, blew a 3-2 decision to the Boston Brsves Friday, right after Branch (The Reverend) Rickey made a special speech that was to bring peace among them again. The clan that gathered there In Philly early this week cut up quite a few touches ahout Rip's new dipsy-doo. They told about tha time he served it up to Dom Dal lessandro, the short Chicago gardener who Is built something like a ffre hydrant. 1 Dom had two strikes, on him and watched this thing coming up overhead, figuring it was a pitch that got away from Rip. It bov- ered up there for a moment, then dropped over and the umps had to call atrika three.

Needless to say, Dom called it something else. roared at Rip. "haw a good mind to come out. there, with this bat and thump on your noggin for a while." And there was the time Stan Musial, the Cards' smooth-swinging swstter, took a full cut at th thing and found out. it was like coming out of the bathtub and placing your foot gently but firmly on the aoap.

Friday, Stan had betten luck, collecting three hits. As a matte" of fact, the Cards' chalked up 15 safeties, but since the Bucs bunched five runs in the first inning, all Rip had to do was coast, anyway. The victory, however, coupled with the Dodger defeat, left tha Pirates only Slg games out of sec- ond place. The Brooklyns were held to five hits by Nat Andrews. Johnny McCarthy, who used ts ba a Dodger, chipped in with tha triple that broke up th ball game.

There are plenty of imponderables. Haegg, in running the mile at 4:04.6, probably generated about six horsepower, figured Lester, while Andersson, in establishing the new mark of probably was putting out a little better than six, especially if he sprinted to the tape. Thus, be said, to run a four-minute rnlle allowing for variables present in every race it probably would take a cookie who, in the final sprint for the tape, at least, can pick 'em up and put 'em down, just about as fast as a sevf n-horsepower motor. By Jack Cuddy. NEW YORK They're already calling Jesse Flores a "morning glory" pitcher a flinger who blossoms briefly and then fades and pride has prevented the Mexican moundsman from explaining his descent from rookie greatness to mediocrity.

Flores, stocky, right-handed pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics, was the "hottest" linger in the majors on May 30, when he had registered seven victories against one lone defeat. At that Ume the Mexican's screwball, delivered with the rare finger "P'n instead of the Hubbell wrist snap, was mowing the batsmen down. And the Athletics; guldfd hy 80-year-old Connie Black war. In third place, just two games behind the leading Yankee. But since that May 30, the Athletics have tumbled to last place in the American league standings, and Flores has won only one game In seven.

He now has a record of eight victories and seven defeats the best record on the A's, but nothing to inspire text books on pitching proficiency. What happened to the Flores of May 30? We asked Flores after Friday's game "with the Yanks, in which Flores opened on the mound and was nicked for a home run by Nick Etten with two mates aboard in the first Inning. Flores was removed after the second inning as the A's lost', to the Yanks, 6-5. 4 Flores said: "I have been bothered by a cold for tha past two weeks. Sometimes that cold hit ma In the back or head and sometimes in the chest.

Just a summer cold. But Connie Mack, ancient manager of the Athletics, said: "Flores has developed elbow trouble chips in the elbow according to X-rays taken last Monday. We are waiting now for physicians to decide if he should have an opera lion on the elbow. Yes unquestionably throwing the screwball contributed to his arm ailment put, if Floret was afflicted vith an elbow ailment, how come he opened Friday's game against the Yanks Connie Mack said: "I'm glad you asked that question. You see, I had planned to rest Flores until something definite was decided about his elbow.

But a Latin American society of New York had written me, asking to have Friday made a 'Flores Day at Yankee stadium. I replied that it was okay. Accordingly I started Flores Friday, but the Latin Americans apparently had forgotten about It. NO ITINS SHOWKI UP WITH THEIR PROMISF.U TBOPHV. So I took Flores out of the game after the second inning.

"Flores was not only naturally disappointed but also off form," Connie added. Mack emphasised that 35-year-old Flores would be all right when- he got his elbow fixed.

UP) The Indianapolis Indians, apparently tired of wrestling with Milwaukee for the American association lead, came from behind twice Friday night to sweep a double-header from the Brewers in the start of a crucial series and coast to the front with a two-game advantage. 1 The Brews, going into extra innings for the third consecutive night, broke out writh two runs in the eighth frame of the scheduled seven-inning opener only to have the Indians score three in their half to pocket a 3-2 decision. Bill Fleming blew up in the overtime and permitted a double by Wayne Blackburn, a single by Joe Moore and a tying two-base hit by Ed Morgan. He then walked Willard Pike and Fred Vaughn's single decided the issue.

Jim Trexler bagged his thirteenth Victory of the year by limiting the Brewer? to nine hits. Witn a chance of remaining in the lead by capturing th nightcap, Milwaukee folded completely before th record-breaking crowd of 13,000 to drop the verdict, 9 to 4. The Brews hooked up a double by Heiahel Martin and a single and a homer by Grey Clark to produce runs in the first and fourth innings for a 2-0 lead. But the Indians locked the score in the. fifth off fiv hits, allowed Milwaukee to regain the front with a pair of markers in the sixth, and then belted in six runs to salt away th game.
