Lack of punch in the pinches with men on the sacks has cost the Boosters a number of games thus far, and Fitzke and Cully Beranek have been the only consistent men to drive in runs. "Cutz has batted in seven runs in five games, while Beranek has driven in five in six games. Cully leads the Boosters in hitting thus far this season, having pickled the pellet for a .412 average in six games. Sacrifices have aided him in ringing up this record, as he averages about one sacrifice per game. The vet outfielder has also shown speed on the bases with four stolen bases to his credit.

LEADER OF NAVY CREW By GEORGE ZIELIvE ORWOLLS BATTING RECORD .433 .287 .370 ORWOLLS PITCHING RECORD IT win probably that the board of Teacher' colli ge regent granted lh Teacher' of the state jcrmlvdon to er.aft tb freshman ruling In each teepee tira school. Such permidon baa not b-n taken advantage of by any of the arhoola. Oehkneh State Teachers' colb go adopted the ruling lal year, and, so far as we have been able to db-orn, baa not Buffered greatly from ur action. In a rtate-ment made to the pr, K. G.

Dourl ra, retary of the board of re-gents, raid that It was bis belief that the ruling would not be adopted by the Bf bools Since it is not compulsory. Whether the freshman ruling will remain a dead letter or not as he states remains to be seen. Certainly, with the. change the colleges have gone through during the past year and the Increased Interest In them shown by the general public the time is drawing near when these srhools will he forced to adopt such ruling In order that they may engage in competition with the other colleges of the state and nearby states. AS we at a tori once lef re in this column we are not arguing In fit tor 1st Creese adopting the freshman ruling.

We ran see only feat well in what a predicament it would place I 'ii It Keeler. Iasi fall la rrrMtn won the football championship of the Teachers college conference, whereas If it had not had frosh material from which to form a team (a tVosse would probably have been at lie iM.ttorn of the heap. However, the time Is corning when these col-1 leges will he fort ch to adopt Mich a ruling, and we are heartily in favor of it If and when all of the schools take the step am! not Just one or two. The inauguration of tire freshman ruling will mean not alone that he freshmen will not eligible for vaislfy omM-t lljon, but that the sc hoed will hate a greater expense to meet. Another coach or staff of coaches would hate to he maintained to handle the freshman athletes and extra facilities provided.

That is the main reason we do not favor the im-mcsllate adoption of the freshman ruling.

And again at Chicago Mickey Walker will defend his mid llewedght crown against the punching of Ace Hudkins.

Hubbard has perfect build and equipment for a broad jumper. Wiry and nervous, he has done 100 yards 9 3-5, worlds record time. He gets tremendous distance with his famous scisbors kick after taking the air. Comparison gives the best indication of Hubbards remarkable record. In the six years he has won the National A.

A. U. title he has never failed to do less than 24 feet. In the past three years he has cleared over 5 feet. Yet from 1876 up to Hub-hards time only one other national champion, Sol Itutler of Dubuque, Iowa, another negro, surpassed 24 feet.

Hubbard holds the present worlds record of 25 feet, 107 inches, made in 1925 in his last appearance in a college meet for the University of Michigan. He jumped over 26 feet in a meet at Cincinnati a year ago, but on a technicality this mark was not accepted. Is Heavy Favorite Barring an accident, Hubbard will be an odds-on favorite to repeat bis Olympic victory. He will have good support if not actual rivalry from other American candidates as well as possible opposition from England Germany and Sweden, where good performers are being groomed.

TPtKlE American League St Lou.s Cleveland Washington THAT Ossie Orwoll, former La Crosse pitcher and outfielder, is making good with the Philadelphia Athletics is evidenced by the comments of James C. Isaminger, veteran Philadelphia sport scribe and editor of tlie Reach baseball guide. Isaminger, writing in The Sporting News, says this in regard to Orwoll: It is time now to say that the Athletics have never regretted paying a small fortune for the release of the Milwaukee star. He is one of the smartest left-handers breaking in, and he has the actions of a man wrho has been in the fast set for years. Then, when it is pointed out that he is a hard hitter and swift baserunner in addition.

It is easy to see that the Macks have a gem in him. Graceful Player Earlier reports which emanated from the Athletics training camp this spring had the Philly sports writers styling Orwoll the most graceful player since Larry Lajoie, who starred in the majors until about a dozen years ago. Back In 1921 Orwoll got his first chance to play In organized ball In the now defunct Dakota league, but after a brief trial was dropped before the season got under way. As the son of a Lutheran minister who himself w-as a Luther college graduate, it was natural that Ossie '-hould enter Luther. There, together for a time with an older brother, Ossie played not only baseball, but basketball and football as well.

In addition to becoming a star baseball pitcher there, he was one of the outstanding halfbacks in the Iowa conference, and played well at guard In basketball. Here With Caledonia Orwoll made his first appearance on a La Crosse diamond in 1924 as a member of the Ca3ednia team. He was attending Luther college at the time, and consequently did his pitching under the name of Lefty Dahl. He lost that first game here to the La Crosse Nelsons, 3 to 1, although he allow yd only four hits, two of which were obtained by Larry Schaefer, one a homer which won the game. Svl McCauley, who later was tried out by the Chicago White Sox and found wanting, was Or-w oils mound opponent, and the game resolved itself into a strike-out duel between the two hurlers.

Mac fanned thirteen, and Ossie ten. Orwoll also smashed out two hits, one a triple. Later in tho season the Nelsons engaged Orwoll to hurl here. When one day they used him in the outfield against the Maon City team, Ossie swatted out two home-runs, and thereafter was used mainly as an outfielder. Before the season closed the lanky Viking became manager of the local club, carrying it through to a successful finish with a spilt in BENTON SHUTS OUT PITTSBURGH.

4 TO 0 NEW YORK. (JP) La rry Ren-ton's pitching and Frank Hogan's opportune batting enabled the Giantv to shut out the pirates, 4 to 0. here Saturday in the third game of the series. It was Bentons seventh straight victory and his eleventh la thirteen starts, all of which he converted into complete games. He ha1 worked 119 innings, Including one eleven inning engagement without requiring relief.

The score: Pittsburgh 9 New York 4 12 0 Kremer and Smith! Benton and Hogan. Nation t. I "inci New Ossie Orwoll was one of the first men signed, but after playing In the opening game of the season here, he departed for Luther college and did not return to the Booster ranks until he graduated from the Iowa school in June. From then until the close of the season Ossie was one of the mainstays of the club, the terror of all the opposing pitchers. Performing in 73 games -as a member of the Boosters, Orwoll clubbed out 119 hits in 294 times at bat for a .4 0 5 percentage.

Thirty-one of his bits went for two bases, ten were three-baggers, and an even dozen were home-runs. While Ossie played most of the games as the locals center-fielder, he occasionally found time to pitch a game. He twirled in 13 games, 12 of them complete games. Of these tilts, he won ten and lost only three for a wron and lost percentage of .769. Signed as Brewer Late in September of 1925, after reports of Or- oils batting prowess had circulated around the state, the late Otto Borchert, president of the Milwaukee Brew-ers, signed Ossie to a Brewer contract.

The blond Norwegian reported to the Brew-s in time to get into nine games. During the week or so he played with Milwaukee that year, Ossie continued to slug the ball hard, getting 16 hits in 37 times at bat for a .433 average. He accumulated five two-baggers and hit one home-run during that time. The next spring Jack Lelivelt took control of the Brew-er reins. He placed Orwoll in center field, and but for the subsequent work of Fritz Schulte, Ossie would have become a regular.

Schulte hit so well that he was sold to the St. Louis Browns before the season was half over, al though Fritz remained with the Brew-s during the rest of the season Ossie led the association in hitting the first week, but then his batting average began to dwindle, while Schultes increased, and the Belleville, Illinois. Dutchman replaced Orwoll in center. Later in the Beason Ossie was given 1 whirl on the mound, where he was an instantane ous success, finishing with the best won and lost percentage in the league. Last year Orwoll recovered his bat ting eve in addition to hurling win ning ball throughout the season Long before the season closed It was a recognized fact that he would be sold to a major league club at the close of the season.

In fact, Connie Mack thought so well of the Blond Ghost that the Athletics paid a huge price to secure the ex-Luther star la 1927 Ossie appeared in 99 games as pitcher, outfielder and pinch-hitter, winding up the season with a .370 batting average. As pitcher, he topped the twirlers of the league in won and lost records, and held opposing batters to an average cf 3.99 earner runs per nine-inning game. So far this season the tall left hander has showed streaks of great ness which indicate that he will find himself as the season wears on. His work thus far has at least justified Few enlisted men who receive ap-iwdntments to Annapolis ever turn out to be good athletes, but Mike Bagdan-ovich, shown here. Is one of those exceptions.

Mike has been a good football player for the Middles and a very worthy member of the crew. This year he is captaining the Anna-tdis lads and hpes to take them across to the Olympic games.
