Juvenile softball Scores

o

The Sporting club Vics pulled an upset last evening when they defeated the highly rated New Dome Halwks 18-13 in a Juvenile softball game at Victoria Park diamond. The galme produced only mediocre ball due to the chiliv evening and neither team was able to hit its stride.

The game was handled by Umpire Joe McInnis with Gordon Russ on the bases.

On the previous evening the Vics gave the league leading Bombers a. run for their money as they came within a run of a game with them. In a lovely game that. produced plenty of action. the Bombers barely edged their oppon- ents out by a score of 18-17.

Feller expects Draft call

CLEVELAND. June 8-01?)- Basebdll’; No. 1 pitcher looked in the mailbox today for a selective service questionnaire addressed to . Robert William Andrew Feller and averred he would be ready for the call-which may come in late

August.

"I di0n’t eiicpecl. to ask for defer- meritr-after all. why should I?" he said. "Everybody has to do his duty. and if they call me I‘ll do the best I can."

What branch cf the service? “It doesn't matter. and anyway that's- something to take up later." he

said.

The series? He wculdnt predict the pennant chances of one 1n- dlans, who can thank Fe1ler’s right arm for their continuance in first place, but admitted he "would like to be in the world series. But it's all n19 same to inc whether they cali me one time or another."

How much the $~i5.000,-s-yeur Fel- ler means to the Indians was dem- onstrated‘ last Friday when 11¢ shut out the invigorated Athletics, 8-0, walking none and allowing four

hits.

His local draft board has mailed questionnaires to 3.200 of its 8.830 registrants. and some selective ser- vice officials eicpect the hui-ler to get his call m the latter half of August, with his physical examin- ation coming earlier.

Vander Meer Regaining favor

BROOKLYN. June 9—(AP)— Johnny Vander Meer, whose 110D- uiarity with his fellow Cincinnati Reds last fali was such that Com» missioner Landis had to intercede. for him in the split-up of the world series pool, is earning li-mseif back into favor with the world champ-

He may never be as beloved to his teammates as Bur-k Walters or some of the rest. but the pitching of the double no-hit southpaw star has been the beacon in the belated rush of the Reds and his one-hit- ter against the Phiilies last Friday night was a masterpiece to which they all point with pride.

Soccer game Big success

__,___

A Headquarters team from the Royal Air Fierce defeated one of cook; and batmen from the same unit 4-0 in an exciting soccer game at Victoria Park Sunday afternoon. The Headquarters team took an early lead and were able to hold their opponents scoreless with accurate passing and fast, tricky play.

The large crowd which turned out to see the game were not dis- appointed and came away satis- fied that they had seen plenty of action as the airmen went through their paces on the field.

The kickoff was at. 2:30 and no

sooner had the ball been dropped in when it was snared by the cook's right wing who, after a bril'1ant run, was stopped by the headquarters goalkeeper. Play quickened and the headquartefs wings kept boring deep into enemy territory time after lime. A lovely shot by Turner just skimmed over the headquarterss goal bar as the cook's came back strong. 'I'hen play went to the other half and a five centre by Tykes was headed in by Taylor putting Headquarters one up.

Once more s. centre by Blackle went Just over the bar. This was followed with a nice run by Tay- lor and a pass to Wood which re- sulted in another goal for Head- quarters. Brilliant defence work by Headquarters was a feature of the match. Wood. Headquarters left wing, after a lovely run sent one sailing over the bar. A shot by Turner was well handled by goalkeeper Collins. At half time Headquarters led 2-0.

Going into the second half. Cook's were pressing hard but their finishing was poor. A beauti- ful run by Headquarters gave their opponents a bad scare before the ball was out oi danger. Round- ing off another run, after having the ball strike the goal post and rebound, wood headed in to make another goal for the winners. A penalty for fouling Wood was handed out to Taylor which gave the oalkeeper no chance. Another terri ic drive by Headquarters ended the scoring. Accurate pass- ing combined with fast and tricky playing were big factors for the success of the winners.

NEW YORK, Juno 0—(AP)—!.f any team can be tcmied a sur- rise team in the major leagues his year it is Philadelphia Ath- letics. .
