By FRITZ HOWELL Sept. 3 of this and that from here and By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer A few weeks ago wiien the Brooklyn Dodgers were in a state of turmoil they took a Jot of ribbing about being a bad ball club that night, and probably would finish in the National league's second division, Pennant Chance Gone It seems only fair, therefore, to note the Dodgers now are a very itvong third place ball club. Although Branch Rickey said he did want a second place ball club, ind was solely interested in a pennant winner, there still Ls a chance the Dodgers will finish second again.

The youngsters are doing all right. Yesterday they beat the N'ew York Giants 4-3 by scoring two runs in the eighth and another in the ninth and ran their current streak to six games. This lifted them within three games of second place besides providing a three-game cushion over fourth-place Pittsburgh Pirates. Cincinnati, meantime, was set down 3-1 by the Chicago Cubs with I Hiram Bithom pitching three-hit! ball for his 17th triumph.

Stan Hack helped him with four of the hits allowed by Elmer Riddle, driving in two runs.

A BOY AND HIS DAD GO FISHING News Analyst, Son Travel To Maine By DeWITT MACKENZIE AP Features So you want a story about Draw in a little closer to the camp-fire, then, and I'll spin you a i i Tr yarn of the greatest fishin- f.rin WP a fly on the lawn yarn of the greatest fishin' trip I've! ever had during golden' years of angling in many countries of the two hemispheres. That was last June, amidst the lakes and streams of the famous Allegash region of northern of fly fishermen. No One To Eat Them When I broached the subject by mail to my prospective guides they promptly demurred. The Major was pretty young a rough trip.

After some debate they finally agreed rsluctantly, and that left me with only one other worry. The youngster would have to be taken of the United States was due to a very special circumstance unique in my experience. It wasn't that we caught a lot of fish, though we landed, so many trout that we were returning them to the waters unharmed, because we couldn't eat them all and there was nobody in that primitive region to whom we could give them. It wasn't that the trout were big, though we took some magnificent ones and Ij was lucky enough to get the prize with a hard-battling fellow whoj dragged my scales down to eight pounds. But I'm getting involved.

THe story really begins this way: When it finally was decided that I could go into the Allegash wilds, I had an inspiration. There is in our home a son of 13 who was christened Kent Robert but wears the nickname of Major. Now it's an unfortunate, circumstance over which nobody had any much of his young life he and I have been separated, because of my travels abroad. The result was that when things settled down a bit early this year, after my 35,000 mile aerial trip through the war zones, and we finally got together we found that we were pret- advertise mighty unhappy position for sou and the map tions were in hand for the annual promotion, and that put a knotty decision up to his school principal There are a lot of kind and understanding people in this world Hitler and Mussolini and Tojo notwithstanding.

It will be a wonderful thing for both of you. Let me have him for another wee'k if you can, but if that isn't two go right ahead and everything will be alright." Well, we managed to work the exams in, and so on a smiling June morning we boarded the train for Maine, complete with rods and shining faces. As we settled into our seats and started what was to be the most memorable experience of outlives, the Major looked at me with a. quizzical and rather diffident little grin and said: "I hope we're going to get some good fishin'.

FEW 'NAME' PLAYERS AT WISCONSIN Stuhldreher Begins Training Gridders For Coming Campaign MADISON, (Special) Sept. 3. Harry Stuhldreher Monday opened the 1943 football drills at the University of Wisconsin with a fine looking squad of hopefuls but with few performers of "name." Over 70 men greeted the Badger coach and his staff but among the group there was only one letterman from the brilliant 1942 Badger squad namely Len Calligaro who last fall alternated at fullback and center.

However, the Badger coaches are anything but downhearted over the prospects as they line up thus far. The youngsters, and most of them are just that, appear ready and willing, pack enough brawn for varsity competition and have a fair amount of speed. Pre-draft and specialized training students make up the greater share of the squad with the remainder from the naval trainees school on the university campus. Some of the boys had the benefit of the-summer drill under the Badger coach and are slightly of their teammates thus far but in general it appears a wide open for all positions and a good sprinkling of material for each of them. The Badger coaches must build an entirely new forward wall, a tremendous job when one takes into consideration the grand performers of last year who have all been lost by graduation or into the armed The Badger coaches spent the first few days of the drills determining the speed, flexibility and aptitude of the squad and already have their minds fairly well made up on the positions likely to find their performers in once the tough going gets underway.

Several of the boys have been shifted and the staff feels they have all been made to very good advantage. plied: "You bet we are! it's going to be the finest fishin' we ever imagined."

One Frame Wins Game For Tribe AI i th Be a 1 Grove In Pitchers' Duel CLEVELAND, Sept. 3 (AP) big Orval Grove made a bid for baseball fame last night, but the Cleveland Indians spoiled his act by rushing to the support of their own lefty Al Smith.

Four Hits Tide Grove twirled flawless baseball for five and two-third innings walking the only Redskin to reach first base. Then the Tribe batsmen laid down a four-nit barrage to score two runs and win the ball game 2-1. Both Smith and Grove turned in five-hit pitching performances, but the Cleveland southpaw kept Chicag's blows scattered. Two of them in the first inning accounted for'the Chisox tally. Guy curtright doubled and singed once, and Ralph Hodgm had a double and single off Smith.

He tallied on a. triple by Oris Hockelt, who scampered over the plate with the winning run on Roy Culleiibine's single. Jeff Heath blasted out a two-bagger but Cullenbine was out at the plate Buddy Rosar, first man to bat in the seventh, also singled off Grove but the tall righthander then ended the Indian attack and resumed his no-hit pitching.
