THE TIMES AND DEMOCRAT, ORANGEBURG. S. C. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1943 PAGE SIX Willie Pep Easily Outpoints Bartolo For Featherweight Crown Alsab's Jockey Really Is A-Jumpin' DOWN THE SPORTS TRAIL -by-WHITNEY MARTIN Three Top-Notch Coaches To. Attend State Physical Fitness Congress FORT BLISS, June 7.

(JP) The railbirds who wisely put their bucks on Alsab's nose back yonder probably haven't forgotten Jockey Robert Vedder, one time pilot of Al Sabbath's wonder horse, but it's 5 to 1 they wouldn't know him now. As Cpl. Robert Vedder, 30th Veterinary General hospital, Ft. Bliss, Tex. former big time jockey is 35 pounds heavier than the 110 he nourished so meticulously in the old days.

He still works with horses, and although apparently he has no ambitions in that direction, he's learned to jump them under the watchful eyes of Col. Claude F. Cox. Vedder's ideas about jumping go a little higher now though he's put in for the paratroops. I' m4fefcrv Tit, Ball Players Auctioned Off For 124 Millions In Bonds A Billion-Dollar Novel Drive Directed at Fans Is Launched In New York OF FEATHER Champion Begins Slowly But Has No Real Trouble BOSTON, June 8.

UP) Willie Pep, Hartford holder ol the New York version of the featherweight title, prevented further muddling of that division's affairs by out-pointing Sal Bartolo of Boston, in easy fashion tonight in a 15 round championship bout at Braves Field. Pep failed to carry every round only because of his cau- slow fasnion tnat Bartolo stayed on even terms with him until the third round. From then on Pep's highly educated left and his speedy and etffiicent footwork irhprkpH Rartnlo victory hopes hinged on his counter-at tack at every turn. This so-called championship contest, first such outdoor extravaganza, caused a breach between the Massachusetts and New York Boxing Commissions. The latter state's solons, who en throned Pep when he defeated Chalky Wright last November, ruled that he could defend his laurels only under their juris diction.

The Bay State's Com missioners promised feather weight championship recognition to the winner. It became very evident as soon as Pep scored the first of his accurte left jabs, and he averaged about 10 per round, that he had Bartolo's measure and that no one need fear that the featherweight champion ship would find itself in three pieces. Its still in two, however. Jackie Calura ot Hamilton, is the N. B.

A.s 126 pound standard-bearer. Pep, who at 126, had a half Dound advantage on Bartolo, fought cooly and cautiously from start to finish in his return bout. Last April, when they clashed here in an overweight match, Bartolo had a sixth round knockout almost in his grasp and wound up1 in the 10th only a single point behind the Connecticut youngster.

ISTEiTIE (Associated Press Sports Columnist) NEW YORK.

June 8. (JP) Gunder Haegg is here to run, and let us hope he does not run into the difficulties encountered by Faavo Nurmi when the Flying Finn came to this country some 18 years ago. It was practically an obstacle race from beginning to end. with raavo-The-Great suspended so often he was a human chandelier. He was suspended for not appearing for meets.

He was suspended for appearing in meets, when it was charged his expenses were to expensive. He was suspended for this and for that, and between suspensions, and sometimes during them, he "continued his astounding career of record breaking. He had arrived in New York in December, 1924, and in his first public appearance he shattered records for the mile, and the meter and 5.000 meter events in the Finnish-American games. The frist hint that trouble was in the offing was the scramble among promoters for his services and the necessity of untangling some of the situations developing from an over-ambitious schedule. In one instance he was booked to run in rival meets at Buffalo on successive nights.

It was not long before rumors were floating around that Paavo and his expenses were running a dead heat. That is, both were setting records. His manager, the late Hugo Quist, hotly denied the expense charge, saying Nurmi got absolutely nothing for his services, and only $7 a day for expenses. Plus, of course, traveling money, which smoetimes is an item. Anyway, the first suspension was not the result of expenses.

It was the result of his failure to appear for a meet at Hartford, Conn. He claimed he had a fever, and the claim later was substantiated and the ban was lifted. He also failed to appear for a Kansas City event, and the Miswestesn A. A. U.

piomptly put the ban of him. Meanwhile the expense fuse was burning, and it finally reached the keg of powder. Des Moines and Kansas City AAU officials alleged Quist had demanded exhorbitant expenses for appearances. The Western State Normal School cancelled the star's appearance pending outcome of the contrversy over his amateur status, and A. A.

U. Secretary! Frederick W. Rubien ordered an' investigation. Rubien cancelled all appearances until Quist answered the charge of the Drake relay committee that the cash demand was too high, but it was a hollow suspension, as Paavo was permitted to run at Fitehburg and Worcester, a few days later. The day his exoneration was announced, Nurmi announced that he had split with Quist.

The reason was not given. All in all, it was a hectic tour, and when Nurmi was ready to pack his duffle bag and go home Rubien said the Flying Finn had received offers totaling $250,000 to turn pro, including one of for a 20-week engagement with a circus. He came back later, in 1929, and promptly got back in the old rut. He was suspended for failing to appear in the natioal indoor games. That suspension, like the others, was as loose as sand and it was not until he got back to Europe again and the International Amateur Atheltic Federation put the ban on him after the Finnish A.

A. had questioned his amateur status that he seemed to be through. Gunder Haigg's background is similar to that of Nurmi. Astute management may enable him to avoid the pitfalls that the great Finnish runner seemed unable to dodge. Pennant Hopes Soured By the Calling of Players By ARDEN SKIDMORE PITTSBURGH.

(JP) A billion-dollar war bond drive directed at baseball fans in this metropolis was launched today at a spectacular luncheon in which stars of the New York and Brooklyn clubs were "auctioned" for approximately in bonds.

Treasury representatives said this was the biggest one day bond sale stunt the country has had and it was without question the most novel. Some 1,500 prominent business leaders, head of corporations and banks as well as ordinary, enthusiastic baseball fans, gathered in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and bid fantastic sums in bonds for the privilege of sponsoring various players in a three-months bondselling competition. With former Mayor James J. Walker heading a staff of four auctioneers, separate commitments for millions and millions of dollars in bonds echoed from the floor and balconies of the great hall. Dixie Walker of the Dodgers brought a bid of $11,250,000 from the Brooklyn club, a social or ganization in that borough.

Esso Marketers pledged $11,000,000 for Arky Vaughan of the Dodgers and later bought in Carl Hubbell, veteran pitcher of the Giantj for $3,000,000. The Bowery Savings Bank bid $5,000,000 for Dolph Camilli and a spontaneous bid of $3,000,000 was made by the president of the Borough of Brooklyn for Fred Fitzsimmons. a favorite Dodger pitcher who was not even included on the list of players participating because there had been doubt whether he would remain active this season. Altogether 13 Dodger players brought bids totalling A dozen Yankees, headed by Joe Gordon at $3,500,000 brought $17,300,000 and a dozen Giants topped bv Hubbell produced $15,050,000. All this totalled $88,850,000 by successful sponsors and Treasury representatives estimated that an additional $35,000,000 had been pledged by bidders who did not succeed in getting a player.

It was no place for small fry, but the average fan who can buy a $25 or $50 bond will have his chance to get into the party as the season continues. The 37 players will constitute individual bond selling teams in a popular ity contest in which their fol lowers may buy bonds and have THE OLD HOME rence, and then returned I to his home town to coach the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University. He moved from the Fort Worth school to Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College and later transferred his talents to a third Southwest Conference institution. Southern Methodist University. His first team at SMU won 12 consecutive games before losing a hard-fought 7 to 0 battle with Sanford's Indians in the 1936 Rose Eowl game.

He presently has a military leave of absence from SMU, where he has a life-time contract. Better known in South Carolina than even the proxy of the National Coaches Association is Lieut. Rex Enright, who recently reported for duty at Athens. South Carolina fans know that Lieutenant Enright is a product of Notro Dame, where he played both football and basketball for three seasons before joining the Green Bay Packers of the National League for the seasons of 1926 and 1927. South Carolina fans apparently forgave Lieu tenant Enright for accepting his first coaching job as an assis- What.

The Nats Up Cubs Down? the St. Louis Browns are 'way down there at the bottom of the American league after being picked to pace the Yonks to the wire.

But that one is easy. The Brownies just aren't hitting and they just aren't fielding. And their lone clouter, Vein Stephens, is headed for the Army. But as both leagues rested today before picking up with a six-game schedule tomorrow, the sixty-two-fifty questions with no answers in sight are the Nats and the Cubs. The records show Washington is batting only .233 as a team sixth in the circuit and as for fielding, well, they're at the bottom of the pack.

At the same time, the Cubs are fourth in the national league in both fielding and hitting and their collective .254 batting average is right up there with the cradinals and dodgers, who are hooked up in a war for the top. Yet, there you have the Senators just a game awav from the Yanks at the head of the American league parade, after being picked to finish seventh, and the Cubs so deep in the National league cellar and looking so woeful that the kids on the omer lot are thinking of challenging them. On the face of it. then, their ups and downs figure to lie in the pitching. This may be so for the Nats, what with Alex Carrasquel.

Up front, what with the Yankees boiling along as expected in one loop and the Cards and Dodgers as close as the buttons on your vest in the other circuit, the chief observation is that the Brooklyn's are going to have to do something.

Branch Rickey's Bums started out the year with the oldest collection in the big leagues and now with warm weather softening the boys, it appears that the machine is in need of some little pieces of wire and string to keep holding it together.
