The Heaters lost two close tilts to Rennebohms 3-2 and 4-1, dropped a 12-5 decision to and lost 22-1 to Tiplers and then dropped a 6-5 verdict to the second- round winners. Cleanup hitter, Dick Joachim, a catcher with a good arm and a fine baseball bead, is currently hitting 500 to pace the team.

Tommy Lynch, Leroy Thompson and Lyle Willin do the hurling. Lynch has the best control of the lot and Willin is used mainly in relief roles on the mound. Willin hit three triples in the third game he played with the Pharo team. Team members include Outfielders Jim Zach, John Schultz, Mark Landowski, Jim Zirkel and Infielders Ed Forbes, Ed Olson, Chuck Thompson, Willin and Mel Daggett. Joachim does the back-stopping and gets assistance from Daggett.

CITY CAR is a half-game out in front of the Sports at the present writing and a victory tonight would put Sponsor Dolf Friedes (Continued on 2nd Sports Page) $7,000 first money.

It was reported that Promoter George S. May, who backed the Tam tournament, gave Locke $5,000 to enter the pro show. For Oliver, a victory would be his first major tournament title since losing his chance in the 1940 National Open with a booed late start on the first tee which brought his disqualification. In Mondays first playoff round, attracting some 3,000 spectators, Oliver was five strokes behind until a 20 foot putt on the 15th, and spectacular second shot two feet from the pin on the 18th gave him birdies and trimmed Lockes lead to three. Lockes approach 'game was sensational also.

He recorded what was probably the most amazing shot of the tournament on the ninth hole Monday, by blasting his half buried ball from a trap to within one inch of the cup for a par 5. The South African went over par on only one hole, garnered five birdies in carding a pair of 34s against par 36-36 72. Oliver, the nations sixth leading money winner, posted a 37-34 71.

American Legion To Honor 'Nine The American Legion post No. 438 of Madison will honor the Madison Junior American Legion baseball team tonight at a fete at the local club house beginning at 8 p. m. The local team has been impatiently waiting for the start of the district playoffs but word has not been received by Athletic Director Bill Samotis as to the opponents or the playing dates. Present indications, however, point to play late this month.

The team, representing the East zone, won the Madison playoffs during competition in May. Members of the team are Wendall Gul-seth, Otto Oliverson, Richard Butch Riley, Hulet Wood, Rad-cliffe Sloggett, Lyle Saeck. Tom Zamzow, Billy Day, Bob Morgan, Jack Barnhart, Bill Kean, John Collins, Glen Schara, Rex Ryan, A1 Meyer and Eugene Prescott. Otto Fuls is batboy. a Richard Schorse, a star halfback for Milwaukee Rufus King last fall, has withdrawn from the South squad as he enrolled in the University of Wisconsin at the beginning of the February semester.

Donald Kitowski, West Allis Central halfback and a star basketball player, will replace Schorse. John Fazio, all-city end from Milwaukee Lincoln has been invited to join the South squad. Fazio comes well-heralded and in view of the drastic need for ends on the South squad, the Lincoln high graduate should fit into the picture nicely. Bruce Nelson, Appleton halfback and Tom Stilp, Neenah halfback will be missing off the original selections for the North squad. Nelson has joined the armed services and Stilp, a basketball ace as well as a gridiron flash, has summer plans which prevent him from joining the All-Star aggregation.

Algomas pride and joy, Robert Zastrow, will be the only replacement on the North squad according to present plans. HARRY CONLEY of Superior Central high school is the North squad head coach. He will be assisted by Hale Quandt, late of To-mah high school but recently signed as a coach at Stevens Point slate teachers college, and Lynn Jordan of Marinette. Walter Wadsey Martens of Darlington is the head coach of the South squad. He will be assisted by A.

J. Hunk Barrett, Madison East gridiron coach and assistant principal for the Purgold school and Arnold Rosy Landsverk of Watertown high school. Madison boys are playing on the South squad this year. Boys who have indicated their intention to participate from Madison include backfield aces Tom McCormick of Edgewood, Robert Mansfield of Madison West and Kenneth Sacht-jen of Madison East.

Brewers Win, Thin KCLeai The third place Milwaukee Brew ers slashed a full game from Kan sas City's American Association lead Monday night, winning the se ries finale. 4 to 3 in 10 innings. The Milwaukee-Kansas City game was the only league contest scheduled. The Blues defeat left idle second-place Louisville four games behind the leaders, and put the Brewers, 7 games from the top. In exhibition games Monday night the World Champion St.

Louis Cardinals overpowered their American Association farm hands the Columbus Red Birds, 6 to 1, at Columbus, and the Washington Senators defeated Toledo, 11 to 7 .1. Ronald Nord Luther Mason gave him brilliant infield support Wisconsin sport fans will be interested to know that work on Michigans athletic plant expansion will get under way in a fortnight when excavations are made for the new Wolve golf clubhouse. Said clubhouse -will have two purposes. For golf it will have ample locker facilities for men and women students (The course averages 300 18-hole rounds per day.) In the fall the new building will be the Friday night retreat for the Michigan football squad. Because of the football angle, some thought has been giv en to erecting the clubhouse in the middle of the course, far away from travelled roads.

This detail has yet to be settled. No school in the country has ever had the monopoly on discus throwers which Minnesota occupies now. Bob Fitch, who was a Gopher graduate in 1946 has broken the world record and Fortune Gordien, replaced Fitchas A.A.U. champion last Saturday. But while Minnesotas athletes were one, two in the discus, Byrl Thompson, Minneapolis prep star, was third and he is slated to enter Minnesota next fall.

Thompson is a cinch to lead college platter tossers for the next few seasons. Gopher track teams have steadily increased in power and speed and theres no reason that the Gophers shouldnt have a Western Conference championship team in the near future. They tell me that Jimmy Phelan, onetime Purdue coach, who now is in the grid game on the Pacific Coast, is ready to turn pro in 1948. James now at St. Marys where he had Herman Wedemeyer, one of the great backs of the nation.

Now Wedemeyer was offered one of the greatest pro grid contracts in the history of the pros and Herman turned the offer down quickly and has decided to finish his schooling. Ben Lindheimer of the Los Angeles Dons is said to have offered Wedey $40,000 for two years. If Wedemeyer plays another year with St. Marys the question arises, will he have another silch offer available? If the pro grid war between the National League and the All America Conference continues another year he may, but observers, includ ing Commissioner Jonas Ingram, predict the pro rivals will pay about half as much for talent, when they get together, as they pay now. That would be the main reason for getting together.

Wedemeyer and Phelan are close. Wedey stays at St. Marys. Thats the reason why pro circles are convinced that Phelan will go into pro football that he has already made the deal. If he has, he can protect Wedey.

If Phelan couldnt protect Wedey, the fans reason, hed advise him to grab the fine offer made by the L. A. Dons. Its legal to bet at an Illinois race track. Thousands of Wisconsin residents do so every weekday during the summer season.

Why should It be illegal to wager anywhere else? The argument is not in support of racing. Racetracks prefer that bets be made through the mutuel machines for thats the only place where they, the tracks, can collect their take.

City Cars Haarlow hasnt been defeated this season; his five straight victories rank him as the only hurler with a perfect record for the year among pitchers who have hurled more than two games. Haarlow has allowed only 29 hits in 33 innings pitched and although he has struck out only 23 men, he has had fine control in walking only 11 men.

Pasko held Bordens to a single hit, a one-base knock to left field by Larry Belz. Although his strikeout record notched only one victim in the game, the Sports City Car is outhitting' Badger Sports by 49 points.

The Taximen are banging the ball at a clip while the Badger Sports are moving along on a .271 average. Defensively the Sports are fielding .922 on 20 errors in 259 chances while Cily Car has made 30 errors in 339 chances afield. i I f- ST.
