NEW YORK, July 26 0J.fi) The) fans have the final say-so, of .'course, but as far as the players were concerned there was a preliminary pre-liminary indictment against night 'baseball today, at least in Wash-'ington Wash-'ington and St Louis. While casting about for explanations explana-tions of the flop of the Senators at home after burning up the road on their western trip, it would be Jess than logical to overlook that fin general they switched from -afternoon to nocturnal play. On the road they won 13 out of 19 games and played only five of; rthem at night. Back home which should be the "unconquerable fortress" for-tress" of the pennant contender, :they were able to win' only six out of 13 games, and played all but , three at night. Moreover, they .won two of the three day games and lost all but four of the 10 ;night tilts. At .the same time in St. Louis,-the Louis,-the not so robust Red Birds were 'supposed to be making their "an-nual" "an-nual" pennant bid. On a strict tdiet of night games except for 'Sundays, they managed to win I only eight and lost seven. It also Hs worth pointing out that in their itwo Sunday doubleheaders, they Host both games. That isn't mm 50 East First North shine after a solid week of play ing after dark. Moreover, the Cardinals also fared well on their last eastern trip, when they won 16 games and lost only nine, playing a fairly steady ration of afternoon games. That moved them to a contending spot in the race, just a game and a half out'of the lead, but during their home stay they weren't able to do anything but go backwards, and they now are four and a half gamei off the pace. The evidence isn't .conclusive. There is much to indicate that the standard of night games is as high as the daytime variety, but teams subjected to an every night ration of it are likely to get tired of the "upside down" living that it requires. re-quires. That it eventually reflects in their play is fairly definitely indicated. Carrying the ease a step further, fur-ther, the road record of the de-fending de-fending champion Brownies should be cited. Since leaving home and their every night game diet, they have won seven and lost five, not too impressive a mark, but nevertheless their best road trip of the season. And it came after they had dropped 12 out of 22 games in their longest stand at home. There were no major league games scheduled yesterday. An Illinois, night club charged 75 cents for a glass of milk. That ought to keep the cows contented. By WALTER BYERS ' United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, fuly 26 (UJP Byron Nelson, pacing the toughest tough-est field he has met in three years, sets out to prove that he is golf's "greatest player" today when he tees Iff in the rich all- American open, the feature at traction of George S. May's triple header golf ingl classic. The $60,000 A1I - Americans, staged amid the clashing colors and circus ballyhoo of a county fair at Tam 0'Shanter .Country elub, are g&lfdom's greatest shows. After '1 three- days of qualifying plajfe they get off to a rousing start woay wun simultaneous simul-taneous 18-hole medal play in the men's open, the amateur tournament and the women's open.

The tall, ruddy-faced Texas with the nerves of ice has won eight straight individual tournaments, tourna-ments, climaxing his record streak two weeks ago by taking the covered-P. .G. A, title. It was then that ha was acclaimed the greatest of all time, but now he must prove it against two men who were not in the PGA Lt Ben Hogan, the little Texas sharpshooter, and Slammin' Sammy Sam-my Snead, power swinging West Virginian. This is really a "comback" tournament for Nelson. He is returning re-turning to the fairways after a week of resting an injured back. Snead has been on the sidelines for a month, ever since fractur ing a wrist bone. And Hogan is playing his first major tourna ment of the season. Counting Snead and Hogan, Nelson faces a field of 139, including in-cluding the greatest collection of golf stars since 1942. Shooting against him wilt be Jimmy Dem-aret, Dem-aret, Sgt. Ernest J.

Queens of the Turf Eclipse Colts in Racing This Season; Pavot No Champion This Year By NED BROWN NEA Starr Correspondent T:n nU t..f n.. IT ........ away on special assignment.) NEW YORK. July 26 "In "a season when three-year-old colts have been defeating one another with consistency," says a report from Thoroughbred Racing As sociations, "it was still something of a shock when Pavot, which apparently had found himself in the Belmont Stakes, ran a dismal last in the Dwyer. "The raee was not without Its compensations, however, tor from it emerged Wildlife, a New Jersey bred, and Gallorette, a Maryland bred, as two potential champions." Wildlife, which was second to Pavot in the Belmont, is a colt by Easton, which ran second to Windsor Lad in the Epsom Derby of 1934. Gallorette, which was barely nosed out by Wildlife in the Dwyer, is a daughter of Challenger Chal-lenger II, sire of Calledon, twice the horse of the year and now a stallion standing In Kentucky. In winning the S50.000 Empire City Handicap in near record time from Pavot, Gallorette again gave evidence that she is one of the best fillies to go to the races in the last decade. During the last month there has been considerable speculation as to whether this year's crop of three-year-old fillies might hold their own with the colts. Galior ette, never out of the money in her entire racing career, has demonstrated that she is a husky threat to members of the opposite sex when it comes to running. Her performance in the Dwyer set greybeards of the turf to bab bling about Regret, Twilight Tear. Top Flight, Beldame, ocean Bound. Cleopatra, and other great fillies. they decreed. Even Teddy Atkin son, leading jockey who piloted Gallorette to the victory, declared after the race: "That's tne best filly I ever rode." On the west coast.

Not in many years has there been a quartet of three-year-old fillies comparable to Gallorette, War Date. Busher and Ace Card It sure is a year for the queens of the turf. In view of Pavot's failures, Pot o' Luck now looms as the champion cham-pion among the the three-year-old colts. At that, it is whispered among turf savants that Good Blood, stablemate of Pot o Luck's, a filly, is the best three-year-old in the Calumet barn, and can at least hold her own with him. Some veterans of racing believe Gallorette would' have given Twilight Tear, horse of the year in '44, the race of her life as a three-year-old. That question, of course, can never be settled, but right now a race among the top three-year-old fillies would be this season's "natural." BJACKDAILEY United Prtss Staff Correspondent As pop pottles flew through the air and three disgruntled Oakland baseball players were thrown out of the game for assaulting an um- pirv oan jrsncwcu nuncr ovu Joyce won his 22nd victory of the season last night by a score of i to 9. In other; Pacific Coast league affrays the Sacramento Solons swamped the San ptego Padres by a score of 23 to 0, the Port land Beavers regained their seventgame margin on first place with 9 to 2 victory over the runner-up Seattle Ralniers and Hollywood defeated the Los Ap-geles Ap-geles Angeles 8 to 4 in the cellar series. The San Francisco - Oakland contest was featured by a, wild sixth inning in which play was halted for 15 minutes to calm down the players and nearly 9,000 customers. Manager Bill Raimondi, his brother Al, and Oakland First Sacker Vic Picetti were ejected after witnesses said they "pushed and elbowed" Umpire Cicero Falls during a dispute at home plate over whether or not Del Young was safe. Falls said he was safe. The Oaks disagreed, and the game was halted while fans threw bottles of beer and pop and other projectiles onto the field. Thei inning also saw the Seals score 0 of their 12 tallies on three hits, three errors by the .Oaks and l'affaire Young. The Beavers-Rainiers tilt also brought a milder form of protest in the sixth after Portland Hurler Don Pulford hit a pop fly which dropped in front of Second Base man Bob Garbould. Umpires Gor don Ford and BUI Engeln ruled that Pulford was safe at first as runners on first and second ad vanced despite Bill Shift's con tention that Pulford was automatically auto-matically out under the infield fly rule. The Rainiers finished up the game "under protest," Manager Man-ager Bill Skiff said. ! The Padres used four pitchers and three catchers in a futile attempt at-tempt to stem the onslaught of the rampaging Solons. The .latter scored seven runs in the second on two walks, a sacrifice,: two errors and four hits. In the fourth they tallied nine runs on three hits, four walks, two batters hit by pitched balls and an error. Padres Cal Dumler, Dick Trahd, Jim Nelson and John Green allowed al-lowed total of 22 hits. Ron Smith's seven-hit pitching gave the Twinks their second straight win over the Angels. George Cornelias started for the losers, with George Woodend taking tak-ing over in the second.

By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK. July 28 ftUS) The U. S. navy likes to keep everything every-thing "above board" except Jap anese craft Hence its forthright camoaicn to convince the America mmrulni ti nnnvinrtf til Ameri- can - public that the Annapolis naval academy footbai lteam uus fall will not be composed of super men and probably will not win the mythical national championship. This sales campaign certainly is the most concentrated and. at the same tune, the most unusual in the 100-year history of the Annapolis academy. One might get the impression that the academy representatives are try Ing to seU the public a bill of mediocrity; but such is not the case. They are merely going all out to emphasize that the 1945 navy team may not be a "cham- peen," 'although lt will win its fair share of games. Navy learned to its sorrow last year that there's a big difference between a "good" football team and a "championship" outfit Long before the 1944 season opened, the football experts were awarding navy the national title because of the Middies apparently incomparable incom-parable .manpower. Unfortunately many members of the team believed be-lieved the press clippings and shared the unbounded confidence Of the public. So they went out and lost their first game to North Carolina Pre-Flight They also lost to Georgia Tech. And Army particularly Army. As a result there was much moaning at the bar wherever Navy men gathered throughout the world. It was a holiday for (Army) stings. Accordingly, we find at - this early date as far as football is concerned navy is sending its emmisaries to Manhattan to preach the gospel of possible de feat And its best grid authorities are sent to tell the story. We mean Cmdr. Oscar (Swede) Hagberg, head coach; Cmdr. "Rip" Miller, line coach; and Lt Bill Sullivan, public relations officer. According to these three, there are several reasons why Navy u : - ...ill k.. u kit 4 ltii wa nave WW uauvu m biggest question-mark team. As Coach Hagberg stresses, a major reason will be the fact that Navy, for the first time in history, has shifted from the traditional single wing to the "T" formation. And" it may take the institution some time to accustom itself to the "T," recalling that both Army and Notre Dame had difficulties in their first season's with the Also Hagberg and his assistants believe that the current crop of Navy backs with their accent on speed and lack of blocking ability were designed more for the fast, balanced "T" plays than for the slower power plays of the single wing. Their backs have plenty of speed Capt Dick Duden, Bobby Jenkins, Billy Bar ron, Ralph Ellsworth, Bill Am bromities, Bob Kelley of Notre Dame and Bob Hoernschmeyer of Indiana. In addition to this backfleld speed, the Navy wants the TV because it will enable the Middies, to take full advantage of the new rule which; permits forward pass ing from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage, making for a. much more open game like that of the pros. Though blessed with speedy backs -and excellent guards, the Middies' big problem is that of selecting and drilling proper men to take over tackle, end and cen ter assignments. From those posts some of the most able athletes, in Navy history passed at the last' graduation. Rip Miller always said, "Backs are either backs or they ain't; but you can drill linesmen lines-men if you get fair material. But. we don't know yet if we've got fair line material outside of the guards."
