The sensational Hogan turned in one of the most devastating rounds in PGA history today as he smothered the usually-steady Jimmy Demaret, Houston, Tex., 10 and' 9. Oliver eased past Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Sanford, Me., 6 and 5. Hogan's victory over Oemsret was the most one-sided in PGA history since 1923 when the great Walter Hagen snowed under George McLean in a semi-final round by a 12 and 11 count. The two golfers will clash tomorrow for 36 holes starting at 10 a. m. (PST) and to the winner will go $3,500 along with the historic cup, the PGA crown and all that goes with it.

Chandler Slates Series Meeting CHICAGO. Aug. 24 (U.PJ Baseball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler today called a meeting here Monday to arrange World -Series details. Candler invited Eddie Collins, general manager of the Boston Red Sox; Larry MacPhail, president presi-dent of the New York Yankees: and George M. Trautman, general manager of the Detroit Tigers to attend the meeting as American league representatives. with Branch Rickey of Brooklyn; Sam Breadon of St. Louis and Jim Gallagher of Chicago representing represent-ing the National league. League Presidents Ford Frick and William Harridge also will participate. Chandler already has given the pennant bound Rex Sox permission permis-sion to sell single game series tickets instead of the usual three-game three-game blocks. It is expected that the league officials will consider strongly a return to the pre-war series schedule of play two games in the opening city, the next three in the other city and the final two, if necessary, back at the initial point. During the war years the schedule was three games in the opening city and all the remainder remain-der in the home park of the rival club. . - - PAINT DEPT.

Don Baum will be in his accustomed accus-tomed left field spot, with Bill Green probably holding down the center field pasture and either Robinson or Kenny Duke on the right field patrol. Levan will probably bank on their ace southpaw, Marius Wan-kier Wan-kier to turn the trick against the Steelers. The southerners had been assured of no worse than a tie for second half honors since August 14, but the Steelers had to make up three games that had been postponed in order to cop a tie for the top. They slipped past Springville 8-7, and whitewashed Spanish Fork 9-0 in their first" two make up games, then got an unexpected unexpect-ed assist when Eureka forfeited when unable to field a team. On a neutral field, the two teams are rated strictly a toss-up. Hoover Rests Up at Hot Pots SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 24 (U.R) Continuing his "rest-up" visit to the rocky mountain area, ex-president Herbert Hoover today to-day left Salt Lake City for a tour of the "hot pot" resorts in the vicinity of Heber. Accompaying Hoover were Guy R. Toombes, managing director of Hotel Utah, and others. The nation's depression president presi-dent recently loosed a blast in Salt Lake against Russia, the "number one" stumbling block to world peace, then disappeared into the rockies to re-visit favorite fav-orite fishing haunts accompanied by his son, Allen. Hoover returned to Utah's capital city late last night, and arose early this morning to begin the trip to Heber. It was indicated indi-cated that he may remain there several days.

It (U.R) The Brooklyn Dodgers, baseball's most consistent ninth-inning team, did it again today, nipping the Cincinnati Reds 5 to 4 on Dick Whitman's homer in the last inning. It was the second straight day they beat the Reds by one run in the ninth inning, and again they went a half-game in front of the St. Louis Cardinals, pending the Cards' night game with the Phillies. Brooklyn came from behind be-hind three times to win. The Reds tallied a single run, in the first Inning to tie after Aurie Galan homered for the Dodgers in the top half of the inning, and went ahead in the second on singlet by pitcher Ed Heusser and Claude Corbitt The Reds apparently cinched the seventh with two runs off Hugh Casey after two were out. But Pete Reiser homered with Ed Stanky on base in the eighth and game was tied. Heusser made just one bjad pitch in the ninth, and the game was gone. The Reds threatened in the ninth as they did yesterday yester-day and like yesterday, the Dodger pitcher, Vic Lombardi, struck out the Reds' final batter with the tying run left on sec ond base. The Chicago Cubs beat back- a Boston Brave challenge for third place by toping the Braves. 8 to 2. Emil Kush pitched a six-hit game to win, and Marv Rickert and Phil Cavarretta each batted in two Cub runs.

Aug. 24 (U.RV Football's Foot-ball's hottest argument, the relative rela-tive strength of the established National league and the new All-America All-America conference flared anew today in the wake of the 13th annual an-nual Alltar game. The College All-Stars defeated the world profesisonal champion Los Angeles Rams 16 to 0 before a sellout throng of 97.380 fans at Soldiers Field last night and the two key figures in the triumoh were youngsters who will make their pro debuts this fall with teams in the Ail-American conference. con-ference. Elroy Hirch.1he gridiron dancing danc-ing master, who flashed on prewar pre-war colesiate fields with University Univer-sity of Wisconsin, gave a brilliant runing exhibition at he scored both the All-Star touchdowns. And the star of the great All-Star line was Martin Ruby, former Texas A. & M. tackle. Hirsch will play professional ball with the Chicago Rockets and Ruby has been signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers. The brilliance of Hirsch and Ruby isn't likely to be matched often in the All-America ranks, but at least temporarily the new circuit can hold its own in any argument as to comparative strength. In adition to Hirsch and Ruby, 37 other members of the All-Star squad will play in the All-America this year. Six teen members of the squad be long to National league teams. Hirsch broke up the contest late in the first period when he raced 38 yards for a touchdown the longest run from scrimmage in the 13-year history of this pre season classic. Again in the third period Hirsch gave the huge crowd a chance to roar, when he took a pass from Otto Graham of Northwestern Graham tossed the ball 37 yards in the air and the Wisconsin ace took it on the dead run over his shoulder, shook off Jim Gillette. the defending Ram halfback, and outran him to the goal line. Again Harder converted. The All-Stars' final two points came on a safety in the final period when Paul Walker of Yale trapped Kenny Washington behind the goal line. After making repeated threats in the first half, the Rams bogged badly in the final two periods and their running attack was stopped completely by the Collegian line. with Ruby getting great aid from Bob Fitch of Minnesota and Jack Russell of Baylor. The Rams, who passed their way to the pro title, tried in vain to employ the same tactics against the All-Stars. They completed only eight out of 22 attempts. Bob Waterfield. the Rams' ace quarterback and passer, connected con-nected for seven of the successful success-ful aerials in 16 tries. The victory was the All-Stars fourth in the series. Two of those triumphs were gained by teams coached by Alvin N.

By LEO DUROCHER Manager, Brooklyn Dodrera (Written for the United Press) CINCINNATI, O.. Aug. 24 (U.PJ If the Cardinals do not win the National league pennant this year and I do not think they can we will win it at least four out of the next five years. I am not used to making predictions pre-dictions like that, but the handwriting hand-writing is on the wall so large that a baby can' read it. In another season, St. Louis will be an aging, slowed-up ball club, with men like Slaughter, Kurowski and Marion past their peaks. And they have nothing coming up as they had in other years Rochester, Columbus, Houston are in the second division divi-sion in the minor leagues. The Cubs were an "old" club last year when they won with creaky-armed pitchers like Derringer, Der-ringer, Passeau and Prim. You knew they had to run out of gas this year, and they did. I challenge anybody to find a team with so many "unknown" names that was ever the first-place first-place success we have' been this season. We banked 'on a pitcher like Henry Behrman this year on outfielders like Carl Furillo! and Dick Whitman, and we have been watching Bruce Edwards every day. Ever hear of them before? Maybe you don't appreciate the problems we've had these kids and I. I am going to bare some of these problems here and now. First, Ford Frick's National league umpires are tough on a youngster. Some of the umpires have called our players "bushers." "wartime players." The kids can t open their mouths to make a legitimate protest. Opposing players make it rough on the kids too. The other night in Pittsburgh. Jim Russell, who should know better, was on second sec-ond base and Hank Behrman was pitching for us. Russell called Behrman all sorts of names, and said he'd be back in the minors before the year was out. And of course these kids of GUINTINI RECALLED PITTSBURGH. Aug. 24 (U.R) The Pittsburgh Pirates today recalled re-called outfielder Ben Guintini from San Diego of the Pacific coast league. Guintini, who suffered a broken brok-en toe recently, will not report until next season. He was option-! ed to the Padres early this year.' Guintini played with the Salti Lake City Bees of the Pioneer league before the war. lin of Indiana. McMillin directed direct-ed last night's winner and the victory in the 1938 game when Washington was beaten 28 to 16. When the Rams failed to score, it marked the first time since 1937 the pro champions were blanked by the collegians.

The other day in Brooklyn Bruce Edwards made a foolish throw trying to make a double play that was impossible, and the winning run scored from third. We pointed out to him that he should have faked the throw to first, and he then would have trapped the man coming in from third. Well, the same play came up here in Cincinnati Thursday night, and Edwards remembered. The way he made the play reminded re-minded me of Gabby Hartnett. Of course we have some smart veterans on the club, who are playing their heads off. PeeWeo Reese is greater at shortstop than he ever was before the war, and you will have to grant me I know about shortstops. His roommate. room-mate. Pete Reiser, is in my opinion the fastest man in baseball, base-ball, and one of these once-in?a-lifetime players. That pair, with winning players like Eddie Stanky and Dixie Walker, who is a better hitter than he ever was, will givt us the veteran "balance" that makes pennant-winning teams. Yes sir, with what we already have up here, and with the top talent coming off first-place teams like Montreal, Fort Worth, and St. Paul, we'll win this thing four out of every five years from now on.
