Fenske Promoted and Other Sports Notes
New York June 16 The Enterprise Special News Service reports Miler Chuck Fenske promoted from private to private first class at Camp Shelby Mississippi and given an additional rating. He also becomes assistant athletic director for the 135th medical regiment Wisconsin he joined last April. The piece notes Billy Conn as a strong heavyweight contender for next Wednesday night.

Choc Hutcheson of Hobbs News Sun covers Craig Wood’s 284 in the National Open, with caddy number 71 noted as lame. Trainer Seo Palin’s great trotter praised. Los Angeles misses the 1942 American Bowling Congress tournament. Columbus wins hosting rights for 1943, with Atlantic City or Buffalo likely to host next year. The sports quiz answer: it was the only NL season with no tie games. Buddy Knox trains in New York for a Newark bout with Bob Pastor in two nights.
