While he wore the best clothes, it was impossible for him to appear dressy. 11 and 1T5 pounds, he would be Trim at picked out of a crowd as an athlete capable of making quick decisions. He belonged either in a fanners overalls or a bast ball uniform. Edd Roush, who lit one black cigar "ff the butt of another, was a determined man who knew precisely what he wanted and what he wanted to do. Once his mind was made up it couldn't be changed. He has his own ideas about baseball, farming and business. He stuck to them and they paid dividends. He is a rich man today, owns business blocks, is associated with a bank. Roush, Oakland City, Ind., plow jockey, batted and threw the same way. Originally but when he broke his right he threw south--- I arm he converted himself into an paw. There never was a more consistent good hitter than Roush, who covered center field like a greyhound for Cincinnati and the New York Giants. In hu peak years with the Reds, his average varied a single point .352, .351, .351. He left a major league average of .325, led the National League in batting in 17 with .341 and m LOGAN, UTAH, MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1943.

Seals and Angels In Important Series The Los Angeles Angela return to their home park today to take on the San Francisco Seals, their closest rivals for the Pacific coast league leadership. The Angels series with Oakland ended 5 to 2 for Los Angeles, with one game of yesterday's double-headgoing to each team. Los Angeles was extended to 10 innings before taking the first game, 4 to 3, on an error by Caulield which allowed Pafko to score the winning run. .. San Francisco also took its serlef wttb. , Hollywood by a 2 count, splitting yesterday's twin bill at Gilmore field. Tho Seals won the first game, 5 to L with INtcher Tom Scats holding the Stars to six hits. San Diego, in third place and 14 behind the leading games Angels, dropped both of its games with Seattle yesterday on the Rainicrs' field, but won the series, 4 to 3. In the lower half of the ninth, it looked as if the first game was over. San Diego led, 8 to 3, but Seattle came to life and pounded in five runs to tie the score, and Joe Dobbins came through with a single in the 10th to score the winning run end make the score 9 to 8. Seattle scored three runs in the fifth inning of the nightcap and refused to yield the lead, although San Diego made two scores in the sixth. Seattle won 3 to 2. At Portland, the home club trounced Sacramento twice yesterday to climb into the upper division. Portland took the opener, 4 to 1, and the nightcap, 8 to 2. er d Scandinavian The thrilled 19,000 fans when he made his American debut at Triborough stadium yesterday by running this nation's best into the iard, gray cinders to win the national A.A.U. championship. Despite a headache and lack of trainvoyage tq this ing after a country aboard an oil tanker, Hagg broke the tape 40 yards ahead of little Gregory Rice in the good time of 14:48.5. The Swedish cyclone was 80 yards in front when they hit the bell lap in this feature of the two-da- y A.A.U. championships. A gallant bid by Rice, undefeated in 65 straight races, could do no bettei than halve the winning margin of the lanky invader, whose killing pace accounted for seven world records last summer. At the end it all was Hagg, with Rice in the second section, still the best in America as he finished far ahead of eight others in the field. Hagg's victory was the crowdpleasing feature of the day, which saw Hurrying Hal Davis of the University of California, and Bill Cummins, Rice Institute, turn in double victories, and Ensign Cornelius Warmerdam of the Del school, only Monte, Cal., man ever to clear 15 feet in the pole vault, make this height for the 37th time in a successful title defense. Davis, current world's fastest human, raced to a new world record of 20.2 in capturing the dash. But officials ruled the mark out because of a following wind. The old mark of 20.3, set e 1935 by Owens, stands. He also equalled' the meet record of 10.3 in defending the crown. Rice, the N.C.A.A. and southwest conference hurdles king, roared to a 14.3 victory in the hurdles and followed with a 22.8 hurdles. triumph in the Other defending champions wero Billv Brown, former Louisiana State star, with a 45 foot. fiv inch mark in the hop, step and jump; Cliff.
