Gus Kallio, famed holder of the title for more than 15 years, fought a championship match against Tex Riley here back in 1937. He defeated Riley in two straight falls. Truesdale won the title from Tarzen Lopez in Mexico City about nine months ago. Lopez gained the crown from Kallio only a couple of months earlier in Miami.

Truesdale is a worthy successor to the great Kallio, who made the middleweight division of wrestling one with a great following. Tuffy is stocky built, fast and aggressive. He has a long string of victories behind him and has not lost a match in several years. Truesdale began his wrestling career about 10 years ago. His home is at Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Don McNeill shouldn't have any competition for the men's title if he's in condition, but the gals not only will have all the top-flight stars on hand but so far this season they haven't paid the slightest attention to form (that is, playing form) Any one of a half dozen girls might win About 15 of the kids who played in the West Virginia "North-South" high school grid game last week-end are expected to turn up for fall drills at West Virginia U.

SUGGESTED NOTED Arguing that baseball "hasn't changed since fouls first were ruled as strikes," Dr. Clarence Rungee of New Haven, proposes six-inning games with four outs in each inning His idea is that play ers would "sprint" all the way, just as runners have stepped up the race for the mile instead of coasting through three quarters and then cutting loose Also, "there would be three less times for the players to go to the field and return and three less times for the pitchers to warm up between innings," Rungee adds That's our idea of a real improvement.

Ann Curtis Only Starting Says Her Optimistic Coach By F. W. CRAWFORD KANSAS CITY, Aug. 21 (JP) Charley Sava, Ann Curtis' swimming coach, says his blond San Francisco pupil is only beginning to show what she can do. The star of the Crystal Plunge Club finished her unprecedented grand slam yesterday by winning the 800 meters, her fourth free style title in the three-day Na tional A.

A. U. championships. Sava put it his way: "Ann is the greatest woman swimmer who ever lived. She is the only girl who has won all the free style championships at the Na tional, and she will do much bet ter.

Ann can beat most of the records now in the book by sev eral seconds. The water was too warm here for record breaking." Miss Curtis' achievements over shadowed the Multnomah Athletic Club's record-breaking effort in the 300-meter Medley relay and the Indianapolis Riviera Club's team championship. Multnomah set a mark of 3:58.8 to displace the 4:01.4 championship record set by the New York City W. S. in 1940.

Service TUFFY TRUESDALE Indiana Darkhorse, Bob Hamilton, Wins Over Kelson In PGA By RUSS NEWLAND onvenlent Sox Win Pair And Loop Race Is Much Tighter By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Visions of an all St. Louis Worlds Series for the first time in the major league may be pust that a vision. The pennant hungry Browns of St. Louis watched their first place lead dwindle to a mere three and a half games over the Boston Red Sox as they bowed twice yesterday to the cellar-dwelling Washington Senators 4-2 and 12-1 to suffer their fourth straight defeat, their longest losing streak of the year.

Previously Luke Sewell's men had never dropped four in a row, although they lost three straight on five separate occasions. Only a week ago, after having won 10 games in a row for the longest winning streak in the American League, the Browns enjoyed a six and a half game lead. But then followed a rapid decline in which the St. Lousiians lost eight of their next 12 games, shaving their lead three full games. Their present lead is their shortest since July 29.

Dutch Leonard had little trouble defeating the Browns in the opener, limiting them to four hits. The Senators pounded three Brownie hurlers for 17 hits to win the nightcap. The last Brownie flinger to finish a game he started was Nel son Potter on July 13. Early Wynn, pitching his last game for Washington before entering the Navy, was the winner, his eighth victory of the season. The Red Sox became a definite pennant threat by vanquishing the Cleveland Indians twice, 8-6 and 11-4.

They pounded out 26 hits in the twin bill, 16 of them in the nightcap. Bob Johnson, Jim Tabor and George Metkovich hit homers, Johnson's being his 15th to tie him for the league lead. Rookie Rex Cecil won his second game in the finale. The Detroit Tigers joined the dog-fight for the flag by sweeping a pair from the New York Yankees 4-3 and 9-8, thus taking over third place from the Yankees, only five games away from the Browns. Dizzy Trout gained his 20th triumph in the nightcap as he helped his own cause with a two-run homer, his fourth of the season.

Trout joins his teammate Hal Newhouser as the only 20-game winners in the majors. The Pittsburgh Pirates increased their second place National League lead over the third-place Cincinnati Reds to two games by conquering the Brooklyn Dodgers twice, 10-7 and 7-1. Jim Russell hit a pinch-hit homer with the bases full in the seventh inning of the opener. Four Dodgers Bobby Bragan, Luis Olmo, Whitlow Wyatt and acting manager Charlie Dressen were banished from the games for arguing. After losing the opener to the Chicago Cubs for their 13th straight defeat, thus tying the longest losing slump in Giant history, the New York Giants, behind Bill Voi-selle's five hit pitching, ended their slump in the second, 3-1.

It was Voiselle's 15th victory. Joe Med-wick got seven hits in eight at bat. Rookie Woody Rich pitched the Boston Braves to a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals for his first National League victory, after the Cards had drubbed the Braves 15-5 in the opener for Ted Wilk's 12th triumph against one defeat. The Philadelphia Athletics and the Chicago White Sox divided a twin-bill, the Sox winning the opener 3-2 and the A's grabbing the aftermath 8-3.

Bucky Walters pitched and batted his way to his 18th victory as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 in a 12 inning opener of a twin-bill. The Phile won the second 4-1. All American Golf Tournament Opens By L. E. SKELLEY CHICAGO.

Aug. 21 (JP) Golf's dizziest merry-go-round of 1944 the rich $42,500 AH American tournament made its first whirl at Tarn O'Shanter Country Club today. Some 250 amateurs, only part of the field gunning for 21 of the 24 positions in the Simon Pure section, were listed for action in the qualifying round as the scorekeepers, fortified with a liberal supply of sedatives, arrived early with batches of sharp pencils. Exempt from the qualifying test were the defending champion, Dale Morey of Martinsville, Bob Cochran of St. Louis, the 1943 run-nerup, and the veteran Charles (Chick) Evans who automatically qualified for the championship 72 holes of medal play by virtue of his status as a former national amateur champion.

Another 100 or more entrants will tee off tomorrow to complete the tedious amateur qualifying business. They'll share Tarn O'Shan-ter's fairways with the ladies 42 of whom are entered in the feminine festivities. Like their male contemporaries, the ladies will do an 18-hole qualifying stint to become eligible for their title battle of 72 holes which also will be restricted to 24 players.

Atlanta Crackers Out To Retain A Slender One-Half Game Lead (By The Associated Press) With the season's end only three weeks away, the Atlanta Crackers moved back to 'their home park today to battle fourth-place Mobile in an effort to retain their slender one-half game Southern Association lead over Nashville. The Nashville Vols, in a see-saw fight with the Crackers for front place in the past two weeks, take on the tail-end Chattanooga Lookouts in the Vols' home lot tonight. More than 10,000 persons, the season's top crowd at Nashville, saw the Vols crush Atlanta, 15 to 4, in the opener of a double-header, and the Crackers come back to snatch an eight-inning nightcap, 6 to 4. Ace Boyd Tepler, who joined Nashville for the second half of the split season, became the league's leading pitcher when he registered his 10th win in the opener.

Tepler, who has lost only one, allowed seven hits while the Vols were pummeling Lew Carpenter, Dick Mauney, Forrest Thompson and Fred Ross for 21. Johnny Burrows, who relieved Francis Cronin in the first inning of the final game, allowed only three hits in winning his second game of the series. The Crackers routed Dale Alderson in the first frame. Atlanta's Bob Reid and Lloyd Gerhart combined hits to win in the eighth. Third-place Memphis and fourth-place New Orleans divided a twin bill, the Chicks winning the first, 4 to 2, on three runs in the ninth and one-armed Pete Gray's inside-the-park homerun in the first inning.

John Danantonio's seventh inning single with two out gave New Orleans a 1 to 0 triumph in the nightcap and broke up a mound duel between the Pels' Jesse Danna and the Chicks' Ed Greer. Little Rock dropped into sixth place after losing to Birmingham, 3 to 1 and 5 to 4. Birmingham's Bob Ferguson was robbed of a shutout in the first game when Shortstop Metzig tripled and scored on Bob Seeds' fly. Ferguson allowed five hits. Walter Milner held Little Rock scoreless until the seventh inning of the finale, and then allowed four runs before Joe Lease and finally Howard Fox stemmed the Traveller rally.

Mobile defeated Chattanooga, 4 to 3, in the first game of a double- header behind the six-hit tossing. of Andy Doyle. Lefty Earl Wooten pitched Chattanooga to 8 to 4 decision in the sundowner with five hits. Tonight's games: Mobile at Atlanta. Little Rock at Memphis.

LANIER FUNERAL HOME SPOKANE, Aug. 21 (P) He wasn't given much of a chance when the tournament opened, in fact was dismissed with the classification of a "comer," but Bob Hamilton carried the title of 1944 National P.

G. A. golf champion on his name today. The "darkhorse" from Evansville, 28 years old and playing in this tournament for the first time, defeated Byron Nelson, Toledo, 1 up over 36 holes yesterday. It was the No.

1 upset of the tournament, in fact the biggest reversal in 26 championships. Only the victory of Tom Creavy' over Denny Shute in 1931 approached Hamilton's achievement. He beat Nelson the final green to receive the acclamation of more than 7000 fans. And in defeat, Nelson was still the best golfer of the field, when considered on a medal play basis. The man from Ohio played 186 holes in thirty shots under par.

Only on the final day, when he carded two 70 rounds did he fail to complete eighteen holes in the 60s. Yet he won only second money of $1500. Hamilton, who played 205 holes during the seven days in 12 under par figures, had it over his rival on the last day. He posted a 70, then a 69 and his one-hole margin for the tense match play battle paid off richly, $3500 worth. Incidentally, Hamilton defeated the two outstanding golfers of the country.

He beat Harold Mc-Spaden, Philadelphia, leading money winner of the year, 2 and 1 in the quarter finals.
