Golfom’s little guys are robbed

qualifiers to 32, says Marty Lyons,
president of /the Philadelphia
PGA.
The group here will propose
and back up an amendment at
the November PGA meeting in
Chicago, which would increase

Refrigerator is the simpler method. It has
nothing to wear, nothing to get noisy, noth-

value of this silent, trouble-free system of

tion of a concrete bridge on
Broadway that would divide
highway traffic with California
street. Aiderman David O'Brien
said the bridge should be worked
into a bond issue along with the
swimming pool, school building,
and sewer and water system im-
provement bonds.
Aiderman K. D. Clack recom-
mended the council create park
and library boards to supervise
administration of these municipal
departments. Mr. Brient. Volun-
teered to oversee planting and
upkeep of Leonard park if the
council saw fit to give him that
responsibility. No definite action
was* taken on the suggestions.
The bid of the National Ac-
counting company of $450 for the
annual audit of city books was
read by Mayor Lewie, who said
the company did the work for
$350 last year and remarked, “I
don’t think it should be more
than last year.”
“Not unless they lost money on
it last year,” Aiderman Myers
commented.
Aiderman O’Brien said he was
in favor of local men doing the
work.
Mayor Lewie instructed the
city manager to write to com-
panies bidding on the audit last
year and obtain bids.
Raymond Mott and J. H. Dever
asked the council to include the
paving of one block of. Myrtle
street between North Grand and
North Clements street under the
old plan by which the property
owner pays, for surb and gutter
and the city pays the urracing
cost. Mr. Mott reminded the coun-
cil that checks had been put up
by the property owners for this
project. Councilmen agreed that
this street should be added to
the list of those to be paved by
the city.
Mayor Lewie reminded the
council that property owners on
South Morris street, from Lanius
street to the Katy railroad, had
sought paving several years ago
and were advised it was not nec-
essary for them to put up money
for curb and gutter. He said those
citizens were entitled to city-fi-
nanced paving.
Brownlow Resigns
The resignation of W. C. Brown-
low as city patrolman, due to the
fact that he is moving to Corpus
Christi, was read and accepted on
motion of Aiderman Henry
Lynch.
The application of Woodrow
Clegg for a job as radio operator
or radio patrolman was read.

commissioners court had ap-
proved a county health unit budg-
et of $3,687.76, with the city and
county sharing the cost on the
same percentage basis as last
year. He said there was an un-
derstanding that $2,400 be added
for a health unit director, accept-
able to city and county officials.
The budget is effective as of
July 1.
Mr. O’Brien said he thought
councilmen should be furnished
monthly financial statements
•showing the budget balance in
each fund and the monthly ex-
penditures. It was agreed that
the city secretary’s office should
furnish such reports.
Cemetery Complaints
Mayor Lewie said there had
been several complaints about
conditions at Fairview cemetery,
particularly the lack of upkeep of
the Negro cemetery, that chil-
Bren were playing on monuments
and that horses and cows were
allowed to run loose on graves.
Mr. Brient also reported that sev-
eral new hydrants installed in
the cemetery had been stolen and
water left running from the pipes.
Suggestions were made that
cattle guards be installed and that
Stray animals found in the ceme-
tery be impounded. It was also
agreed the Negro cemetery should
be thoroughly leaned and kept
in as good condition as other sec-
tions.
D. L. Blake, local plumber,
urged the council to revise its
policy on sewer extensions. He
said that a limit of 65 feet set by
the city, would not permit many
extensions, and suggested that de-
cision be based on 10 per cent
annual return on investment in
extensions.
Manager Brient reported that
rpofs of the city hall and the
library were in bad repair and
the council instructed the mn-
ager to obtain estimates on re-
pairs.
To Postpone Painting
The manager said he thought
bids for painting central fire sta-
tion were too high and he thought
it well .to postpone action until
the labor and paint situations
improve.
The council again discussed its
policy on vacations and sick
leaves for city employes at the
request of Mr. Brient, but de-
cided to make no change. The
council had previously approved
two weeks’ vacation for employes
working a year or more for the
city, regardless of previous sick
leave during the year. Cases of
excessive sick leave would be
left to the judgment of the city
manager as to whether vacation
time should also be granted.
Aiderman R. D. Clack raised
the question of whether addition-
al money could be made avail-
able to the band commission so a
capable director could be em-
ployed. It was decided to increase
the band allowance in the 1946
budget soon to be drafted.
The manager Ws instructed to
request Santa Fe and M-K-T rail-
roads to leave Broadway, Cali-
fornia or Main street open when
switching, to provide for emerg-
ency ambulance, fire truck and
physicians’ runs.

Haegg Sets New
Mark for Mile
MALMO, Sweden, July 18 (P)
The four-minute mile, long con-
sidered an impossibility by many
leading track and field experts,
is going Jo be accomplished soon
says Gunder Haegg and the swift
Swedish runner believes he’s go-
ing to be the one to turn the
trick.
The long-striding haberdashery
salesman came pretty close to
doing it yesterday when he was
clocked in the record-shattering
tirhe.of 4:01.4 in bettering the old
standard set by his rival country-
man, Arne Andersson, on July 1,
1943. 4
The old recognized mark of
4:02.6 also was beaten by An-
dersson who was caught in 4:02.2
in; the first meeting of the two
this season.
' Che gaunt Gunder set a blister-
ing pace as the first quarter was
refled off in 56.6. They turned
the half mile in 1:58.5. When the
time was announced to the 14,000
spectators they scented a new
record in the making and cheered
wildly for the two runners who
have been breaking all sets of
middle distance records in the
past few years.
The Gunder had plenty left in
him after the race. He-said the
four-mile no longer was a prob-

Barrett Is Winner;

By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports ‘Writer
Sam Breadon’s right to be
known as the David Harum of
baseball remains unchallenged to-
day off incomplete returns of his
Cooper-for-Barrett - and - a - bar-
rel-of-cash deal with Boston.
Mort Cooper yet may win a
pennant for the Braves when the
millionaire owners excavate
enough supporting talent but the
proof is on the table that Charley
“Red” Barrett is doing a great
job of tossing the Red Birds to-
ward a possible fourth straight
flag.
President Breadon of the world
champion St. Louis Cards must
have been well satisfied by Bar-
rett’s 3-2 victory over Boston last
night for it was his tenth since
joining the birds and 12th of the
season.
Both Are Veterans.
Neither pawn of 1945’s biggest
deal is a spring chicken, Cooper
admitting 31 summers and Bar-
rett 30, but the red-haired chuck-
er from California has been the
more impressive. Although Coop-
er’s won and lost mark of 9-1 is
tops in the league, he has been
troubled by an ailing flipper,
hasn’t started a game since June
27 and his worked only four com-
plete tilts since he was sold May
23.
The Dodgers squared their se-
ries with Pittsburgh, after blow-
ing a Sunday double-header, by
trimming the Pirates, 5-2, taking
advantage of sloppy enemy field-
ing. •
Dick Mauney of the Phillies
celebrated the birth of a second
son by notching the second tri-
umph of his big league career.
The score was 3-1, and, the victim
was Cincinnati.'
Bill Voiselle clipped Chicago’s
wings with a five-hitter for his
11th triumph, 2-1. (The result
snapped a Giant five-game losing
streak and a Cub five-tilt victory
march.
Cubs Lead Sliced
Chicago’s loss and St. Louis’
win sliced the Cubs’ lead to three
games as they go into an impor-
tant series with Brooklyn, only
3% lengths away. Two games to-
day can make or break the Dodg-
ers’ western trip.
Detroit goes into Washington
tonight for a twi-night double-
header, inaugurating a five-game
vital series in which the Nats
could go over the top. Detroit at
New York and St. Louis at Wash-
ington were rained out yesterday
and the Chicago at Philadelphia
contest was moved back because
of transportation difficulties.
Cleveland stopped Boston, 6-1,
for Steve Gromek’s 11th decision,
in the only American league con-
test. Johnny Lazor’s homer saved
the Sox from a shutout but they
dropped to fourth and Jim Wil-
son suffered his sixth setback.

never knows what goes on in az-
other’s mind.
LOOKS VERY MUCH like if
anyone is to run that much-
talked-of four-minute mile it will
be the Swedish star, Gunder
Haegg, who not long ago made a
none too impressive tour of the
United States. His latest per-
formance, a 4:01.4 mile, cuts down
Arne Andersson’s world mark by
.2 of a second, which is less than
the flicker of an eyelash. But in
lowering record-breaking time
these flickers really count. Now
all a fellow need do to become
famous in track is to nip off that
1.4 seconds and become the first
human to run the distance in four
minutes, a feat some authorities
claim is impossible, which we
don’t believe, for it all depends
on how fast one can pick ’em and
lay ’em down.
WE WOULDN’T WANT to dis-
credit the fine pitching of Dave
Ferriss and others in the major
leagues now, but we wonder just
how Bob Feller would stand in
the win-and-loss column had he
started off the season this year.
You can take the word of Walker
Cooper, Cardinal star who is now
in service and Feller’s receiver,
and major league teams who have
faced him, that Feller still has as
much speed and other stuff as
when he left for war duty. If all
that’s true our guess is he’d have
been a dead cinch to win 30
games in the big show, particu-
larly since performances on the
average aren’t what they were
before the war. Hope Bob gets
back into action with all his ef-
fectiveness.
FODDER . . . Lon WArneke,
veteran baseball hurler who has
been out of action for two years,
will start a game today against
the Dodgers. He was once a holy-
terror on the mound ... The Cubs
were cooled, temporarily at least,
yesterday by the Giants. In real-
ity Bill Voiselle is the boy who
cooled ’em, allowing but five
scattered blows . . . Meanwhile,
the Cards beat out the Braves
to gain on the league leaders. . . .
See where One-L Wilke of the
C of C plans to write himself a
fishin’ column. If he can tell as
many lies as some of our angler
friends about the Izaak Walton
sport he’ll have to stay awake
nights figurin’ some of ‘m out.
. . . Maybe he’s just trying to re-
turn the favor for our little part
in doin’ some C of C work, help-
ing to raise funds for a new foot-
ball stadium . . . Today’s the day
Byron Nelson is due to enter
Mayo clinic to see what ails his
back. If we could shoot like he
does we wouldn’t need, a back.
. . . We just wonder what has
become of Bill Woodside. We
know Uncle got him several
months ago, but we haven’t heard
what he did with the elongated
freak of nature . . . See where
Paul Tooley is still on the Deni-
son job. Guess Uncle wouldn’t
even consider* him, which is a
good thing for the country, mili-
tarily speaking.
Texas Loop Calls
For a Showdown
DALLAS, July 18 (TP)—The
Texas league is moving—it hopes
—toward a showdown with the
National Association of Profes-
sional Baseball Leagues on the
question of suspended circuits re-
turning to play in 1946 with full
privileges of leagues that have
continued.
It was caused by a ruling from
Judge W. G. Bramham, president
of the association, and backed by
the executive committee. Bram-
ham said the Texas league, which
has been inoperative since 1942,
could sign players after October
1, but could not transfer by sale
before December 1, which marks
the end of the baseball draft pe-
riod.
Under this ruling the circuit
would be able only to make con-
tracts with free agents.
President J. Alvin Gardner
passed the opinion on to the club
owners and the answers showed
a sense of rebellion with a senti-
ment toward asking other inac-
tive leagues "to support the Tex-
