Free For All made his debut June 17 at Hawthorne at five furlongs. Hardly had the starter sent them away when he showed he possessed extreme speed. He prevailed by eight lengths and, although the Hyde Park Stakes four days later at Washington Park brought forth 12 to contest the five-an-a-half furlongs, Free For All scored by five lengths, established a new track record of 1.04 3-5. Marsch had still has another colt, Errard, and some claimed this one was even faster than Free For All. The two started in the Advance Guard Purse and Free For All won from his stable-mate, stable-mate, by thre-quarters of a length. At,odds-on, Free For All took command in the stretch in The Arlington Futurity and a further incredible chapter in Marsch's Futurity successes was written when he held his margin of two-and-a-half lengths at the finish. Free For All then accounted for the $25,000 Washington Park Futurity, Fu-turity, Sept. 2, winning by a length.

Onr informant said Walker is virtually certain to be shifted from the Cards to some other National Na-tional league outfit, possibly following fol-lowing in the footsteps of Pitcher Mort, who was sent to the Braves yesterday in exchange for Red Barrett and a reported $100,000. Even if the brothers were given a satisfactory money settlement by the Cards, it is doubtful if they ever could have felt the same loyalty to the club, our source emphasized. He said owner Sam Breadon knew this, and it was a major reason why Sam arranged the Boston deal for Mort, even though the Cooper boys really hit the ceiling when they learned that the Cards were not observing a wage ceiling ' in the case of Shortstop Marty Marion. Marion's salary was increased to $13,000 for the 1945 season, subject to wage stabilization approval. The Coopers had signed for $12,000 each, with the understanding that it was the ceiling set for the club since the wage stabilization aci was passed in October, 1842. According to our informant, the Coopers felt they had been vic tims of a double-barreled blast of ingratitude. They felt they had (l been given the run-around in this year's signing, and (2) been paid unfairly for the past two seasons two extremely successful success-ful campaigns that followed their grand work in '42. This great brother battery had been a prime factor in the Cards' three straight pennant victories; and they had done their bit in the three world series that followed those pennant triumphs. Our informant concluded: "When you check over ther recordswhen rec-ordswhen you consider the contributions con-tributions these two Missouri boys made to the Cardinals during the past three years, you can began to appreciate their bitterness to ward the Coolie club that rewarded re-warded them with a phony ceiling." Bailey, Murray shortstop who threw low and allowed Bird to score the tying run. Berge also scored wnat looked to be the Times winning run. - The Times took the field and Knight popped to Berge, next man hit a grounder which Green, bob- bled then Occie Evans sent him home with a beautiful double. Peterson after several foul balls sent a liner over second and Provo Pro-vo walked off the field and head ed for the. showers. . It was an interesting game to watch. Errors proved costly for both teams. Billy Green rookie second baseman was nervous in his first big chance, but he has the makings of a ball player. Lee Christiansen did not make tne trip due to a bruised hand. The Times have tworbig exhibl tion games scheduled for this week-end. On Friday at 5:30 p. m. When the first tennis set arrived ar-rived in America from Bermuda in 1874, it was held by the customs cus-toms officials a week to give them time to appraise the alien paraphernalia.

Meet the Timps By PETE OLSEN Wilbert "Wib" Jorgenson is making a serious bid for a berth on the regular Times pitcning corps, and from the way they were smacking in "Choc" Over-ly's Over-ly's mitt at last night's practice it appears he has a great chance of making the grade. Typical of the dugout chatter one hears around the players' bench is "You know I believe 'Jorgy' is going to do us some good this year." He made his first appearance against Magna under unfavorable circumstances, but he does have a good fast ball and a nice hook. With the weather warming up so will "Jorgy." Wilbert was born in Logan, the Cache valley metropolis. He moved to Ely, Nevada, with his oarents. where he attended the White Pine high school. Here he starred in football, basketball and track. During the summers he pitched American Legion base ball. His team won the Nevada championship and was beaten in the western division cnampion-ships cnampion-ships by a classy Long Beach squad. He later moved to Spanish Fork where he played for Spring-ville, Spring-ville, Spanish Fork, and Payson. Incidentally he and Don Overly are well acquainted," "Choc" was the other part of his battery for Spanish Fork a few years back. Don said one of the best pitched games he ever caught was one "Jorgy" ost to Helper by a 1-0 score in fourteen innings. "Jorgy" married Zoe Boyack of Spanish Fork. They reside there with two lovely children. Wilbert is employed by Provo Foundry and Machine company. they meet Kearns. Sunday at 2:30 p. m. they meet the perennialy strong Denver' and Rio Grand team from Salt Lake City. Both games are to be played at Tune park. The Brigham City reaches, be hind the deft pitching of Joe Bush. handed the Pinney Beverage nine its first defeat of the season, taking tak-ing the carbination out of the boys with a three-bit, 4-0 game. Bush turned in a masterful pitching performance for the Peaches as he handcuff ed the visi tors with Just three hits and struck out 11 of the big city lads. - Brigham scored a pair of runs in the second on three hits, an error and a passed ball. Another was tallied in the third on three hits and the last was made in the fifth on one hit, a sacrifice arM a base on balls. Bob (Fireball) Stewart was on the mound for the Pinneys and managed to whiff 15 Brigham batsmen but he also had his weaker weak-er moments and allowed nine hits, which beat him. .
