‘blackened White Sox back in 1922.
‘The day they arrived there was a
real snowstorm, one of the worst
Seguin ever has had, and the’ Sox
‘felt like they were back in Chicago.
_ But the Seguin weather as a rule
is dépendably and consistently good
and it’s a safe bet the Qilers will
be in shape when they leave here
the night of March 31.

The natives around this pros-
perous, industrious little city have
some quaint ideas. Seguin is orig-
inally a German settlement and
German names still predominate.
There are just four nationalities

. here, the Seguin boys say. You’re
a Dutchman, a Mexican, a Negro
or a Raggedy. We wanted to know
what a “Raggedy” was. “Why,”
said our informant, a veteran par-
ticipant in the Elks club’s nightly
poker party, “anybody who isn’t
a Dutchman, a Mexican or a Negro
..is a Raggedy.”

_ Everything is all right now in the
Oiler training camp, since Max
Thomas has put in a belated appear-
ance. Max was a special crony and
golf partner of Roger Moore, Se-
~guin’s mayor, and the first thing His
eHonor wanted to know when the
_Tulsa party got to town was why
Maxie was missing. At the chamber
“of commerce, the Elks club and
‘other popular places where the gre-
‘ garious citizenry gather to pass the
time of day and whatnot there was
the same expression of regret that
‘the slim’ southpaw wasn’t here.
-Thomas had been to Seguin for the
“training. season in 1936, 1937 and
1938 and he is easily the most pop-
ular Oiler with the people down

When last year’s Milk Fund show
netted $1,500 for the charity and
was witnessed bya crowd ‘of 4,000
we told our friend Sam Avey he
had gone about as far as he could
in showing an increase for the
benefit every year. We thought if

~ the Milk Fund affair was to climb
~in the net return this year, as it
has every time so far, it would be
up to the ladies themselves to
~ make it do so. We said as much in
‘a column soon after the 1939 show
and suggested an organized ticket
‘sales campaign in advance as the
‘only way to assure another in-
crease in crowd and money,

But Avey has practically cinched
another gain by giving the Milk Fund
program the very best card he’s had
in six months—Nichols vs. the Bear.
‘He is taking money out of his own
‘pocket to do this, for "Miss Ginger
“and any other big, rough opponent
would have drawn well Monday
night with the added interest the
Milk Fund angle gives. Avey could
have saved the Nichols-Ginger “nat-
“ural” for himself and been certain of
showing a little profit this spring
‘after a lean winter. But he’s so hon-
estly and thoroughly in sympathy
with the Milk Fund that he’d dig
deep into his own pocket to guar-
antee an increase every year, and
that’s just what he has done, in fact.

We hope they have 6,000 fans
‘down there at the Coliseum Mon-

We're only sorry we won't be
among them. We’ve made it a prac-
tice to pay our way to these Milk
Fund shows and as we can’t be

$1.10, the price of a ringside ticket,
to swell the total just a wee bit.

26 CHURCH TEAMS
ENTER; NEW PARK
ON NORTH PEORIA

Tulsa is going to have a City Soft-
ball league after all. A realign-
ment of several local teams during
the past week by members of the
park department’s recreation gov-
erning board made tne fact a cer-
tainty and forced a revision in orig-
inal plans.

For weeks Ron Capps, director of
parks department recreation, has
been wrestling with the problem of
what to do with the 69 teams that
sought in leagues this season. Then
the governing board, of which L.
W. McFetridge is chairman and J.
B. Miller and W. A. Melton the oth-
er members, stepped in, took the
job, revamped a number of the set-
ups and established the City circuit.
Not Like 1939 Open League. ©

However, the new City league will
have nothing in common—under the
rules anyway—with the open circuit
of 1939, which was the state’s fast-
est. The new City was planned to
accommodate several outstanding
teams in the Oil Capital which were
apparently too strong to compete on
an even basis with clubs in circuits
for which they had originally been
slated.

Atlas Electric, Mid-Continent Ath-
letic club, Spartan Aircraft, U. S.
Engineers and Texaco Firechiefs
form the nucleus of the new organi-
zation. There will be at least six
members with a possibility that the
number may be increased to eight.
All games will be played at New-
block park.

Responsibility for alignment of
teams was taken over by the gov-
erning board at a meeting last Tues-
day. Under the new plan the board
is given sole power to determine the
number of team entries for the sea-
son, the number of leagues neces-
sary to accommodate the teams,
placement of clubs and apportion-
ment of necessary diamond facilities.

Make Changes in Other Loops.

Despite the fact that a fifth lighted
park will be built adjoining the old
North Peoria field officials face a
problem in arranging 1940 sched-
ules. Sixty-nine teams have filed
and application of a 20-team Inde-
pendent league, which formerly com-
peted on its own diamond at Yale
and Federal,. for play under parks
department supervision has been
turned down.

A number of changes were made
in other leagues by the poard.
Among the revisions were: Reducing
Petroleum membership to eight
teams; trimming the Commercial to
eight, and splitting the Church set-
up into four divisions, the red, white
and two classes under the blues.
Twenty-eight teams are entered in
the Church league, an all-time high.
Each division will have the regular
Shaughnessy play-offs with two di-
vision winners scrapping it out for
the blue laurels.

Here is the way the leagues have
been lined up: :
PETROLEUM — Bethlehem Steel,
Carter Oil, Gulf Oil, Hanlon Com-
panies, Shell Oil, Skelly Oil, Stano-
lind Pipe Line and Texaco Indians.
INDUSTRIAL — Bell Telephone,
Collins-Dietz-Morris, General Paint,
Meadow Gold, National Tank, W. C.
Norris, Oklahoma Natural Gas, Post
Office, Sears Roebuck and Wonder
Bread.

BIG TEN—Board of Education,|
Budweiser, Central States, Coca
Cola, Enardo, First National Bank,
Macnick, Lee C. Moore, Norton-
Roosa and Tide Water.
COMMERCIAL—Cleveland Clean-
ers, Community Centers, Modern
Woodmen, Moskowitz Furniture,
Nelson Electric, Fraternal Order of
Police, Rex Linen and Tulsa Busi-
ness College.

CHURCH LEAGUE—
Red—Cathedral Whites, First
Methodist Trojans, Glenwood Bap-
tist, Holy Family, Memorial Chris-
tian, St. Paul Grays, University
Methodist and White Gity Baptist.
White—B’Nai Emunah, Bullette
Presbyterian, First Christian, Glen-
wood Methodist, Immanuel Baptist,
Nogales Avenue Baptist, Rose Hill
Methodist and St. Paul Whites.

Blue—Epworth Methodist, Glen-
wood Baptist, Trinity Episcopal,
United Presbyterian, University
Methodist and White City Baptist.
Cathedral Greens, Central Chris-
tian, First United Brethren, First
Methodist Pioneers, Hellenic Ortho-
dox and Springdale Baptist.

CITY LEAGUE FORMED IN SOFTBALL REALINGMENT

 

 

McCarty to
Try Sooner
Spring Drill

NORMAN, March 15 (#)—Howard
(Red) McCarty, Sooner halfback who
was injured in the 1938 University
of Oklahoma-Oklahoma Aggie game,|
will return to Norman this weekend
to report for spring football prac-
tice, Head Coach Tom Stidham said
today.

McCarty, who has been working in
St. Elmo, Ill, previously announced
he was not going to play out the
year of eligibility he had remaining
after a leg fracture apparently ended
his football career.

“I talked with Red on the phone,”
grinned Stidham, “and he said he had
been to a doctor and had an X-ray
taken and his leg is as good as new.
I knew he would never be satisfied
until he got back in uniform.”

EVANS BOVS WILL
RENEW RING FEUD
HERE WEDNESDAY

When the Evans boys, Gene of
Oklahoma City and Gomer of Tulsa,
met in finals of the state Golden
Gloves tournament the capital lad
was given a disputed decision and
then went on to gain the finals of
the national tourney in Chicago.

That verdict in the capital’ aroused
more comment than any other in the
event, a large number of the fans
believing Gomer had won the fight.
Wednesday night Gomer will have
an opportunity to even the score
when he battles Gene in one of the
feature attractions of Matchmaker
Ted Cotton’s weekly amateur
presentation at Convention hall.

Three Champions on Card.

Three state Gloves champions,
Buell Davis and Bill Looker in ad-
dition to G. Evans, will appear with
Oklahoma City’s team of seven
fighters. And those champions are
going to find plenty of tough oppo-
sition here.

But for a little more of the fly-

weight business. Gomer was un-
doubtedly the best first-year fighter
in the state this year. The Tulsa
boy, with an unusually long reach
for a 112-pounder, speared his way
through the Northeast Gloves to cop
the title and then won handily at O.
C. until he bumped into Gene and
that fight was a dinger from the
word go.
A majority of the boys who fight
here Wednesday are conditioning for
the state A. A. U. tournament, which
will be held in the capital later this
month. So they should be ready to
go at top speed all the way.

Buell Davis, who holds the Sooner
118-pound Gloves crown, will pitch
into Deck Garman, Northeast Gloves
champion. This bout should be as
good if not better than any on the
program. Both lads have had plenty
of experience and can punch as well
as box. ‘

Du Shane Fights for 0. C.
Davis went to Chicago and moved
to the semifinals of the big Gloves
competition before he was elim-
inated.

Rugged Looker, a featherweight,
and Duke Du Shane, as tough a 135-
pounder as there is in the state, will
battle for the invading forces. Cot-
ton will line up the best locals avail-
able to tackle these lads.

The advance seat sale opens Tues-
day morning at the Orpheum Cigar
store and Southern club, Admission
will be 25, 40 and 60 cents.

ST. GREGORY’S CAGE
SQUAD TO CHICAGO

wah
Special to the Tulsa World.

SHAWNEE, March 16.—St. Greg-
ory’s basketball team will depart
next Sunday for Chicago where they
will play in the national Catholic
tournament at Loyola university.

Father Blase Schumacher, coach of
the squad, took a veteran combina-
tion to Chicago last season and
reached the quarter-finals. This
season’s squad won 18 of 25 games
this campaign, winning the state
Catholic high school tournament.

Boys who will make the trip are
Capt. John Tobin, Carl Zayonc, Dick
King, Bernard McKenna and John
Suellentrop, regular, and Ed Mur-
phy, John McHugh . and ~ Louis
Griffin. -

CATHEDRAL CAGERS

AALU.CAGEMEET
ON DENVER COUR
UNDER WAY TODA

DENVER, March 16 (#)—Heavy
shooting, basketball variety, will re-
sound ‘in this mile-high mountain

city for the next seven days with a
Denver team holding the fort against
attacks from all directions.

Denver’s Nuggets, veterans wise in
the ways of high-speed basketball,
will defend their national A. A. U.
championship against a field of 49
competitors from all over the union.

The week-long one-miss-and-you-
are-out tournament will start at 10
a. m., mountain standard time, to-
morrow, with a Russell, Kan., quin-
tet playing La Salle, Colo., in the
first contest in the flag-decked city
auditorium.

Play 11 Games a Day.

Eleven games will be run off daily
from morning until midnight for
three days to slice the starting list
to the top 16 teams for Wednesday’s
third round.

The two survivors will clash for
the championship on Saturday night,
Easter eve. The Nuggets outpointed
the Bartlesville Phillips 66 club in
the 1939 finals, 25 to 22, and both
are well liked as finalists again this
year by most critics.

This year’s tournament is a coast-
to-coast, border-to-border hook-up,
with teams from New York and Cal-
ifornia, Minnesota and New Mexico,
Washington and Louisiana.

Colorado leads the 26 states rep-
resented with seven teams of the 50
competing. California has five and
Missouri four. The Rocky Mountain
section and the broad midwest have
nominated 14 hopefuls apiece. The
eastern sector and the west coast
have seven color-bearers each, the
southwest five and the south two.

Eight Teams Are Seeded.

Eight teams are seeded—the Nug-
gets; Phillips; Phillips; Eugene, Ore.;
Rubensteins; Oakland, Cal.; Golden

INTERCLUB GOL
DUALS SCHEDULED

An interclub match play league in-
volving golf teams from Indian Hills,
Oakhurst, Hillcrest of Bartlesville,
Tulsa Country ,club and_ possibly
Southern Hills will start play June
26 at Bartlesville.

Teams will be composed of eight
meén, including the club professional
and seven amateurs. Matches will
be played on Mondays and most of
the duals will be conducted on han-
dicap basis. Many star players will
be unable to get off work which will
necessitate the handicap rule.

The possibility of Southern Hills
competing depends on the number
of players who will be able to play,
Bill Wotherspoon, S. H. pro, said
Saturday.

Other dates in addition to the
opener include: July 22 at Indian
Hills, August 19 at Oakhurst, and
September 16 at Tulsa Country club.

Gruenig to win 48 to 34.

Gruenig, displaying a_ brilliant
brand of ball under the basket,
tipped in seven field goals and four
free throws to pace the Denverites.

 

 

O.S.G.A. Seeks to Better Bare
Existence With Associate Plan

 

After years of bare existence that
at times brought near collapse Okla-
homa’s financially weakened golf as-
sociation has started a campaign for
associate memberships that is ex-
pected to nurse the organization back
to robust health.

It has been a’‘hand-to-mouth prop-
osition, figuratively speaking, during
the past several years, the only rev-
enue being that derived from dues
paid in by member clubs. This was
barely enough to keep the nucleus
of the association together, with ex-
pansion an impossibility.

At the January meeting direc-
ters voted to establish associate
memberships, available at $10 each,
to replenish the depleted treas-
ury and enable the leaders to un-
dertake new activities and stimu-
late golf in the state.

John -M. Winters, jr., Tulsa’s
president of the association, Sat-
urday said, “Our aim in this re-
spect is not confined to golfers who
are members of private clubs, but
equally for the public links pday-.
ers. We hope that golfers think
well enough of our efforts to sup-

 

port us through these member-
ships.

“The purpose of the associate
membership is twofold, First it will
enable us to get assistance from
players who are financially able to
join. Then secondly, under our rules
O. S. G. A. tournaments are open
only to players who are bona fide
members of clubs that are members
of the association. This may elimi-
nate a good golfer who is unable to
join a private club, and we do not
wish to do this. Consequently, a
golfer not’ a private club member
can. purchase an. associate member-
ship and become eligible for the
tourneys, without additional cost for
entry fees. This will not impose any
hardship even on the public links
players.”

Letters containing mémbership ap-
plications have been mailed to moré
|than 550 golfers throughout the state.
Winters and other officials are await-
ing the response to see how the new
plan: is received. ‘

Building up the state’s public
links. qualifying play, promoting @'
better state open and stimulating in-

 

the -jobs that will be undertaken by
the O. S. G. A. this year.

In 1939 the. organization paid the
expenses of five public links play-
ers to the national tournament at
Baltimore. This was well received
and more than 50 contestants are
expected to compete for positions
alloted the state in this season’s
national, which will be held at De-
troit in July. a

For years there has been a de-
cline of interest in the open fea-
ture. This year the state associa-
tion plans to co-operate with the
Oklahoma P. G. A. and jointly
sponsor a meet which will have
enough prize money to attract
of the big-name golfers.

Then while other states have been
supplying a large number of crack
amateurs Soonerland has been lag-
ging behind. Directors believe that
reviving interest among the juniors
would do much to produce future
stars, so an effort will also be made
in that direction.

If the: associate memberships prove
the tonic needed by the.O. S. G. -A.
there is no limit to the work that

With the hope of stimulating polo
interest which would culminate in
a tournament for teams in north-
eastern Oklahoma, Oklahoma Mili-
tary academy’s hard-riding Cadets
will oppose the Tulsa Jaycees at
Mohawk field this afternoon at 2:30
o’clock in the opening game of the
season.

Maj. Glenn S. Finley, Cadet coach,
said Saturday that he would like to
see all polo teams in this section fin-
ish the season with a two or three-
day tournament. “We have about
six good teams around here,” Finley
said, “and with the increasing in-
terest there is no reason why such a
tournament couldn’t be arranged.”
Major Finley has been a polo en-
thusiast for 25 years.

As an added attraction the Tulsa
Round-up club will play a chukker
of cowboy polo known as “Cholla,”
invented two years ago by Paul
Coze. A field 65 yards long is used
with three players on each side. A
six-armed jack that looks like a bas-
ketball with padded arms is used
for a ball and the players attempt
to rope it and drag it to the end of
the field. Russ Stamper, head of the
Round-up club, announced that
from 35 to 40 members of the club
will be present, most of whom will
play. Prior to the game they will
put on an exhibition of riding and
roping.

*A second feature to be presented
between halfs of the polo game will
be an exhibition of a mounted ma-
chine gun section. This consists of
two guns, mounted on pack horses,
and two squads of men.

There will be a 25-cent admission
for adults. Children will be admit-

ted free.

JOHNSON, 4 OTHER
TULSANS TO FIGHT

While the hand-picked field of 64
upper-crust amateur boxers were la-
boring in preparation for the state
A. A. U. boxing tournament, sched-
uled for the Municipal auditorium at
Oklahoma City, March 29 and 30 and
April 1, a pretournament develop-
ment in Tulsa captured the spotlight
this week.

Dennis Magirl, who has been tutor-
ing five flossy Oil City gladiators in-
vited for the meet, created the stir
with an announcement that Richard
Johnson, stout-hearted husky who
threw a scare into Gordon Casey in
the recent state Golden Gloves tour-
nament, has forsaken 175-pound
competition and has «shaved his
poundage to below 160.

Johnson, ranked sixth among the
light heavies, was shoved into the
No. 8 spot in the middleweight
group, replacing McClain Wolfe-
tongue of the Clinton CCC-ID.
Wolfetongue becomes the first alter-
nate, but will probably see action if
Vincent Meyers, 160-pound Golden
Gloves king is unable to fight as re-
ported,

Dick May Find Going Tough.

Wayne Burns of Weatherford re-
placed Johnson in the light -heavy-
weight bracket.

The Tulsa bomber is expected to
find the going just as rough among
the middleweight battlers as he did
with the light-heavweights, but still
must be considered more than an
outside threat.

Chances to win a state champion-
ship are still brighter for plucky lit-
tle Gomer Evans, Tulsa flyweight,
who lost a disputed nod to Oklaho-
ma City’s Gene Evans in the Golden
Gloves finals.

Home from winning the runner-up
medal in the national Gloves at Chi-
cago, Oklahoma City’s Evans has
passed up a chance to appear against
the New York team for the state
A. A. U., but will fight at 118
pounds.

With Gene out of the way, Go-
mer’s chief opposition should come
from Proctor Heinold, improving
Oklahoma City youngster, and Bracy
Murrow, dark-skinned belter from
Fort Sill Indian school, Evans has
one decision over Heinold.

Other Tulsan’s expected to figure
prominently are Deck Garman, 126-
pound former flash at Oklahoma Mil-
itary academy; Francis Harjo, stub-
born lightweight, and John Robert-
son, state A. A. U. junior heavy-
weight champion in 1939.

Taylor Says Garman Underrated.

Jimmy Taylor, coach of the Okla-
homa City team who accompanied
the Sooner squad to the tournament
of champions at Chicago, recently
called Garman the most underrated
amateur boxer in the state and ex-
pects him to provide the most trou-
ble for his own prize pupil, Bill
Looker, state featherweight Gloves
winner and a Chicago semifinalist.

One of the unique features of the
tournament will be the use of three-
minute rounds in the finals. In the
national jamboree, both semifinal
and final spats are contested in. 3-
minute heats. -
, The weigh-in will be conducted at
2 o’clock on the afternoon of March
29, and contestants surviving the
semifinal milling will be required to
make weight again on Monday be-
fore the finals. j

In addition to an elaborate trip to
Boston which will include stops in
Chicago, Canada, Buffalo, Niagara
Falls, New York City and Washing-
ton, state champions will be given
red, white and blue A. A. U. title
jackets.

receive fresh, wholesome milk all year long because of the Fifth Annual

Babis’ Free Milk fund wrestling program which will be presented Mon-
day night at the Coliseum by Promoter Sam Avey.
ofl Ua The fund was fattened to the extent of $1,500 last year and, as it has
doubled since it was started, the promoter and supporters of the project
fete ee

are optimistically looking forward to a large turnout.

“We can seat 7,800 people and can take care of even more, so there
will not be a sell-out,” Promoter Avey said, “but early ticket sales have
been so good and we have heard so much favorable comment that it will

certainly be a big occasion.”

Besides contributing to a worthy
cause, fans Monday night will also
witness one of the best cards Pro-
moter Avey has ever offered—and
he has been promoting here almost
16 years. ‘

James Has New ‘Title.

The match between Denny Mc-
Shain, who lost his light-heavy-
weight championship only a few
days.ago, and Joe Millich, a muscu-
lar 187-pound newcomer from St.
Louis, will headline the bill but
there are several other numbers
pushing it for interest.

Jesse James, handsome Houston
youngster, who has finally battled
his way to the 175-pound title, will
meet Billy Raburn of Atlanta in the
semifinal, but it may be the last time
James will be seen in a semifinal
for a long time.

Jesse whipped McShain and took
the belt last Wednesday night in
Oklahoma City, so he is an acknowl-
edged headliner. However, he had
already agreed to the match before
he won the crown and willingly
consented to go through with the
bargain.

“Td be tickled to be on the opener
of this card—I think the milk fund
for needy babies is a wonderful
thing,” James said.

Danny Is Sizzling.

Regardless of the occasion, there
will be no “milk of human kind-

ness” so far as McShain is con-
cerned. Dandy Daniel is still sizzling
over his upset loss to James, and
can’t wait to fight his way back to
the top. In Millich, however, he will
be meeting a big fellow who is said
to be a real standout, and may be
destined for another thrashing. Mil-
lich was recommended by Ray
Steele, who recently beat Broncho
Nagurski for the heavyweight title,
but this merely confirmed the pro-
moter’s opinion, as he had seen him
in action. :
James and Raburn, two of the best
liked and fastest boys in their divi-
sion, are sure to have a rapid-fire
tussle. Raburn looked like a much
improved wrestler in his bout here
last week, the first he has had in
Tulsa for a long time, so James will
not have a cake-walk.

Nick to Tackle Bear.

who has been around too long to get
himself “out on a limb” very often,
may be on such a spot when he faces
off with Ginger, the 350-pound wres-
tling bear. Nick offered to bet that
he could pin the bear and Ginger’s
owner, Roy Welch, accepted to the
tune of $250. Now Nichols will do
considerable fighting for a lot less
than that, so he is sure to make a
real try at bear hunting.

HANK LUISETTI IS
STILL SUSPENDED

DENVER, March 15 (#)—Hank
Luisetti, former Stanford university
forward, is still under suspension
from the A. A. U. as far as officials
of the association’s national basket-
ball tournament are concerned.

J. Lyman Bingham, assistant to the
president of the A. A. U., said that
west coast officials who announced
Luisetti’s reinstatement were all
wrong, and that Luisetti could regain
his amateur status only through ac-
tion of the association’s board of gov-
ernors. The board has not considered
Luisetti’s case and will not meet until
next December, he declared.
