DETROIT—Will the histo Kwikset and Robertshaw-Fulton Win Industrial League Games The Industrial league played a doubleheader at La Palma park last night with Kwikset Locks and Robertshaw-Fulton continuing their tie for first place as they down P & L Transmission and Chiksen. Kwikset's Larry Noggles walked to open the ball game for Kwikset, then scored on Chuck Meachum's double. In the top of the seventh, Wilbur Sims and Ben Weaver hit back to back singles. Noggles was safe on a dropped third strike, Meachum filed to center field to score one run. Lorie Peralta was safe on an infield error and both runners scored Kwikset led 4-0. But in the bottom of the seventh P & L scored three big runs as Ruford Legg singled, Joe Aguirre doubled, Gilbert grounded out, then Frank Aguirre singled to drive in one run. Bob GrisotL was safe on an error, then Al Bushman doubled to score the two Aguirre-brothers. But Pelser and Delos Allen "ko'ed" to retire the side.

Grace Lutheran won from Stanton Community church 19-5. In the lead off game it was the hitting of Denny and Herrera that brought the Pickups their 6-5 victory, as they each garnered two safties. White Temple's Jack Paulus' three safties plus Ira Webber's two accounted for five of their six hits. Rel Schmitt banged out the other one. In the second game Grace Lutheran capitalized on Stanton errors, bases on balls and seven base hits to win 19-5. Gibson banged out three his to lead the Lutheran nine.

DETROIT (P)—Will the historic baseball trade that sent nine players hiking to new teams help Boston Red Sox win the pennant? Will it boost the Detroit Tiger out of the American League collar? Fans and experts in both cities disagree—some of them violent. In Boston the Globe and Reco reported that surveys show fans there thought the Red Sox got the worst of the million dollar swap—one of the biggest trades in years if not all the time. The Record said fans were nice to one against the deal. But sports editor Jerry Naslon of the Boston Glove said, "a has appraisal suggests the Red Sox struck gold." The second-place Red Sox gave George Kell, one of the games great third basemen, outfield Hoot Evers, shortstop Johnny Lipon and pitcher Dizzy Trout yesterday's deal. In return the Red Sox sent first baseman Walt Dropo, outfield Don Lenhardt, both long-ball hitters, shortstop Johnny Pesk third baseman Fred Hatfield and pitcher Bill Wight to the Tigers. In Michigan five large dailies reported a majority of the fans thought the Tigers bested the Red Sox in the deal, one paper said opinion was divided, and another reported fans opposed to the loss of Kell. SPORTS EDITOR Lyall Smith of the Detroit Free Press wrote "the Red Sox can win the penant now with any kind of help." How did the players involve like the deal? Ever—"I like playing at Fenway park.

Further nominations may be made at the meeting. DRIVER CAN'T AVOID HOSPITALS DENVER UP—A man under hospital treatment for a fractured leg suffered in a recent automobile crash got permission from his doctor to leave the hospital for a few hours. Shortly after midnight he wound up at another hospital. Police reported that the man, leg cast and all, had driven his automobile into the side of a switching train and was cut on the head. ILLINOIS TOWN HAS NO POLICE CHIEF DU QUOIN, Ill. UP—Under a new deal this Southern Illinois city of 8000 has only policemen—no chief. Their boss is the police commissioner who receives no more than his regular councilman's pay. He figured it would save the city $9000 a year. SPORTS EDITOR Lyall Smith of the Detroit Free Press wrote "the Red Sox can win the peppant now with any kind of help. How did the players involve like the deal? Ever—"I like playing at Fenway park. I always see the ball we here and I've been able to hit all fields." Trout—"Do I like it? Of course I do, jumping from eighth to first place in one day." (Several hours later the Bosox slipped to second place after a 6-0 loss to Cleveland.) Kell—"I could hardly believe I had been traded. But I guess it all right. I'm a ball player working for a lying too. I would go wherever they sent me. The Red Sox are a good club and I hope I can help them stay up there." Dropo—"The fence at Briggs stadium isn't as short as at Fenway but a lot of fine drives that fail to carry over the wall at Boston will go into the stands at Detroit." Pesky—"I won't be able to play for three or four days because of a torn ligament. I hope we'll be able to help the Tigers. Hatfield—"I know I've got big job in trying to fill Kell shoes but I'll try."

Herbel, prior to an arm injury, received in the eighth game of the league season, was batting a sparkling .500. Roberts, who also was batting over .400 early this year, was sidelined by a similar chipped arm bone in early league game this year. Russia Enters Olympic Games HELSINKI, Finland (AP) — Russia will participate in the Olympic games for the first time in four decades this year and western observers today were wondering just how powerful the Soviet delegation will shape up. Of one thing they were certain: the Russians are sure to make at least a respectable showing or they would not be sending a team of 300 athletes here for the big international sports carnival from July 19 to Aug. 3.

"I like playing at Fenway always see the ball well I've been able to hit to games for the first time in four decades this year and western observers today were wondering just how powerful the Soviet delegation will shape up. Of one thing they were certain: the Russians are sure to make at least a respectable showing or they would not be sending a team of 300 athletes here for the big international sports carnival from July 19 to Aug. 3. Yesterday they announced they would try for every title except field hockey. Why they decided not to go in for field hockey was not explained and there was no immediate comment from Russian officials. The announcement came as no great surprise. The Russians have been training teams for some months in several sports, and the newspapers of Moscow and other large cities have been calling for the athletes to exert extra efforts for the coming international competitions. Further, the Russians have been on hand as observers in several sports meetings of the nations of the world and on occasion have taken part in discussions. If the Soviets follow their usual habits, they'll probably stay to themselves, and there even has been talk that they will be flown back and forth to the games from some city inside the Russian border which is only about 300 miles from here by air. A cursory survey of the Russians' potential (there are no details available) reveals that their women probably will make the best showing. They are big and muscular and should do well in the field events. Among the men, they have some topnotch soccer players—that's the big sport in the Soviet Union—some fair swimmers and good runners and field men. The suspicion is that they'll probably do best in the soccer tournament which has drawn 28 entries. Russia is not the last nation to enter. Eighty have been invited and 71 have accepted. Yet to be heard from are Afghanistan, Bolivia, Colombia, Iraq, China, Le Mystery: Why is Ezzard Charles Big Favorite to Dethrone Walcott? ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., (P)—shot. One of the biggest mysteries in this fight, training camp center is why ex-champ Ezzard Charles from Cincinnati is such a big favorite to dethrone Jersey Joe Walcott in Philadelphia tomorrow night. Not-so-lean Ezzard was rated a 2 to 1 to 3 to 1 choice to become the first former heavyweight king in history to regain the prized crown. Although a majority of the visiting fight writers are plunking for the 30-year-old challenger they openly admit they are doing it with fingers crossed. No one apparently has any firm conviction that Ezzard is going to win because of the heavier power in 38-year-old Jersey Joe's fists. The critics know that the ancient gladiator from Camden is apt to put Charles away with one punch. And they know that Joe can do it with either hand. But they are going for Charles because they feel Joe is liable to come apart just like Joe Louis did agains Charles and Rocky Marciano. After all, how long can Jersey Joe go? Picking Charles as a rule is like choosing the National league over the American league in the all-star game. Even if your man or team wins you know you're going to have to sweat it out all the way. Walcott and the American leaguers can take you out with one place. But headwork has a big part, too. For example, Tuesday Padres pulled off the most play in baseball and it paid a 3-2 win over the pot... MY SINCERE THANKS To all my friends... without whose help this victory would not have been possible.

Club members were urged to attend the clinic and to invite any person interested in tennis whether from the player or the spectator angle, as Miss Marble holds one of the most enviable positions obtainable in both the amateur and professional fields of tennis as the winner of countless titles of both national and international rank. Miss Marble will demonstrate and discuss strokes and court strategy, using three local players to show her methods. Any player with a court problem may ask Miss Marble's advice, after which the afternoon's program will be concluded with an exhibition mixed doubles match in which Miss Marble will team with a local player. Plans for the beach party were made for June 30, in order to avoid the Fourth of July weekend on which the regular meeting day would fall. Members plan to take a sixteen foot motor boat to the Marine stadium in order that they may try heir luck on water skis and aquaplanes. Members not working will leave shortly after noon to get in as much time in the water as possible with others joining them. AFTER LOSSES to Charles in Chicago and Detroit, Walcott finally caught up with Charles with his picture punch kayo in the seventh round in Pittsburgh last July. And Walcott is convinced that he will do it again in Philly's huge municipal stadium. "I'll be trying for a knockout," said Jersey Joe. "I did it before and I can do it again. I think I have his number." "I'm going to go after him," said the 'grimly determined Charles. "He's got the title and nobody is going to hand it to me." Training camp workouts don't mean too much when it comes to picking winners. But if you go by the final practice sessions of the two, you'd have to like Charles. Charles incidentally, scaled 194 pounds before working yesterday and his handlers say he'll weigh between 190 and 192 on Thursday. Walcott expects to hit around 194. Jake, Mintz, Charles' co-manager, claimed victory in the battle of the mustache with Felix Bocchicchio, Walcott's pilot. Jake said the commission ruled that Ezard won't have to take off his precious mustache, but that he will have to trim it. Felix was all for having the whole thing haved off.

Coast League Up and Down In Attendance LOS ANGELES (UP)—Four clubs show increases and four decreases in attendance for the first nine weeks of the Pacific Coast baseball league this year as compared to the same period in 1951. Hollywood, Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco are up, and Los Angeles, Portland, Sacramento and Seattle are down. The overall picture, in games through June 1, show attendance in the league down 24,329. The figures, in 1951-1952 order: Hollywood, 67,536-97,987; Oakland, 69,161-83,415; San Diego, 92,011-133,678; San Francisco, 85,-528-109,293. Los Angeles, 137,016-116,938; Portland, 134,936-103,230; Sacramento 119,379-84,668; Seattle, 130,216-82,245. walked, stole second, continued to third on a wild peg, then came home on Gene Handley's short fly to left field. Joe Brovia had fled it up in the top of the eighth with a mighty home run off Star hurler Jim Walsh. Sacramento beat Oakland in the first inning, its two runs in that frame being sufficient. Ken Gables turned in a neat four-hit pitching job for the Sacs. Singles by Bob Dillinger and Bill Glynn, two walks, a sacrifice and an infield out gave the Solons their first two runs. Johnny Osborne made for June 30, in order to avoid the Fourth of July weekend on which the regular meeting day would fall. Members plan to take a sixteen foot motor boat to the Marine stadium in order that they may try heir luck on water skis and aquaplanes. Members not working will leave shortly after noon to get in as much time in the water as possible, with others joining them in the evening for a weiner roast and camp fire. Food will be purchased by one committee with the cost to be apportioned among those attending. AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES NEED NOT FEAR POLIO CANBERRA, Australia (UP)—Australian aborigines apparently have "some racial factor which gives them immunity to poliomyelitis," Commonwealth Director-General of Health, Dr. Arthur J. Metcalfe says. No aborigine has been affected in the polio epidemic now raging in Central Australia or in the epidemic of a few months ago at Darwin although there are hundreds of aborigines in the area. Dr. Metcalfe says no research has yet been done on the cause of the immunity. NEED MORE INCOME? Would a 7% return from the PREFERRED stock of a 190 million dollar corporation interest you? Cash alone, of 32 million dollars covers current liabilities approximately two times. Dividends are covered nearly 3½ times by steadily increasing earnings. If you are interested, call or write to Green Using Noggin at Top of PCL place. But headwork has played big part, too. For example, Tuesday night the Padres pulled off the most daring play in baseball and it paid off for 3-2 win over the power-laden Angels' of Los Angeles. In other games Sacramento took Oakland 1 and Hollywood edged Portland 2. The San Francisco-Scattle game was postponed because of cold weather and will be made up with a double-header Thursday night. Against the top-notch battery of Boyle Lade and Les Peden, O'Doulent Jack Tobin in with a steal of home that accounted for San Diego's winning run. Tobin was at third, Dick Faber first and Herb Gorman at the plate when Lefty set the play up. Gorman swung at a pitch and missed. Faber started for second, stopped, then started again, drawing a throw from Peden. Shortstop Gone Baker cut it off and threw to Peden—but the ball arrived too late to catch Tobin. THE WIN GAVE southpaw Willie Luna his seventh victory against three losses. Hollywood utilized the speed of its Puerto Rican rocket, Carlos Bernier, to conquer Portland. With the score 2-2 in the eighth, Carlos CHOKED with stomach GAS? HANK HEAVENS! Most attacks are just acid digestion. When it strikes, take Bell-and-tablets. They contain the fastest-acting medicines known to doctors for the relief of heartburn, gas and similar distress. 316. Sacramento beat Oakland in the first inning, its two runs in that frame being sufficient. Ken Gables turned in a neat four-hit pitching job for the Sacs. Singles by Bob Dillinger and Bill Glynn, two walks, a sacrifice and an infield out gave the Solons their first two runs. Johnny Ostrowski's homer with one aboard in the fourth made it 4-0. Oakland's sole score was on a bases empty four-bagger by Pete Milne in the sixth. SLICE OF HAM "DON'T HOLD ON, I'LL CALL YOU BACK IN 90 DAYS."
