Make Way for Mr. Ferriss Camp Newspaper Service When Dave (Boo) Ferriss, the Boston Red Sox red-hot fresh man pitching sensation, fash ioned the first of his gaudy string of victories, baseball experts all over the land began to compare his fast one with Bob Feller’s, his hook with Carl Hubbell’s and his change of pace with that of Christy Mathewson. After a while they discovered that Ferriss, an ex-GI discharged from the Army because he has asthma, is not superfast at all. He’s just average fast with a heavy ball. His curve is very good, but not as good as Hub- bell’s and his slow one fools you, of course, but not the way Mat ty’s fadeaway did. What makes Ferriss good isn’t tremendous speed or a jug-han- dle curve or a slippery change of pace, but the way he sneaks his stuff over on you. A batter never sees a Ferriss pitch until the ball is at his throat. And he never sees a good Ferriss throw until the heat is on. Dave is a control pitcher. He can put the ball where he wants it. In addi tion, he has poise and know-how —and a sinker like the one Wil ey Moore used to throw. It all adds up to a winner. In Boston, Mass., where every one from Joe Cronin right on down to the guy who mows the outfield, is comparing Dave to Walter Johnson, they are thumb ing through the record books in an effort to find another pitcher with a freshman record com parable to Dave’s. —Buy More War Bonds— VERONICA LAKE—keeps well posted photographical ly. In this picture she proves that, cinematically speaking at least, she has a leg to stand on—two in fact. The Lake gal is to ap pear next in the appro priately titled Paramount picture “Out of This World” * V r-* Variety of Uses Await Bond Money Approximately half the peo ple who are buying War Bonds have a definite post-war use in mind for the money which they are saving through this medium, according to surveys. A seaman at NAS Jacksonville, for ex ample, gives as his reason: “I’m going to use that money to help pay off my farm. And I’m go ing to fix up the place also get some more pigs, a few more cows, and make it a real good farm.” Another seaman at that sta tion has an objective shared by a great many young men in the Navy. He is planning to go to college after the War, and is counting on his War Bonds to help out in financing his educa tion. In addition to a monthly allotment, this sailor also pur chases two $25 bonds for cash each month. Interested in education, but for his children rather than for himself, a Navy lieutenant at tached to NSD Clearfield, Utah, has this to say for his bonds; “They’re for Sammy and Johnny and the newest one—Joe. Those bonds are going to come in mighty handy when college time rolls around for them.” Extra Helping Okinawa (CNS).—Marine ar tillerymen saw Japs lining up for a meal and promptly pumped shells into the chow line. No charge for the extra course. ’Buster Bits Cadet Willis F. Stamps (68th Battalion), from Knoxville, Tenn., besides being a high school letter-man in three sports was City Doubles Champion in Badminton (1941) . . . Cadet J. A.

Zoellin (68th Battalion) of Birmingham, Mich igan, in addition to being three- letter man in high school, and basketball letterman at Milligan College, Tenn., was state cham pion in pole vault for two years. . . . Highly specialized work has been done by Cadet Albert Re- povsch (69th Battalion) of New Douglas, 111., before he entered V-5 training. He was a labora tory analyst of high explosives for the Western Cartridge Com pany of East Alton, 111. A great deal of flight time has been put in by Cadet Louis M. Corbel! (70th Battalion) who has flown 2283 hours as flight engi neer for commercial airlines. Flying for Pan American Air ways, he has flown in PBM’s, PB2Y’s, Martin M-130’s, and Boeing 314A’s. He has also flown in R&D’s of the C.N.A.C. (Chinese Airline). —Buy More War Bonds- ^Busters and Pope Field Battle To 10-Inning Draw The best pitching efforts of the year here were washed away last Wednesday when a down pour in the 11th inning brought an end to a decisionless hurling duel between Pre-Flight’s Ken Olson and Pope Field’s Lefty Meyer. For 10 innings the teams were locked in a scoreless marathon, with Olson yielding only four harmless singles, while Meyer was touched for seven which he managed to keep well scattered. In top of the 11th the visitors put together a Cloudbuster er ror, a single, and clever base running to squeeze through what might have been the win ning run. The ,’Busters, how ever, were threatening in their half of the frame with a runner on first, one out, and the heavy side of the batting order coming up, when the rains came and re verted the score game back to the scoreless tie at the end of the 10th. In addition to hurling bril liantly for Pre-Flight, Olson pro duced the biggest scoring threat during regulation time when he crashed a drive to left center with two out in the sixth but was thrown out on a close de cision at the plate, trying to stretch the hit into a homer. After allowing one hit in the opening inning, Olson hurled perfect ball for the next seven, retiring the Pope Field batters in order until the ninth. In other games during the past week, the ’Busters broke even in a pair with Camp Peary, win ning 16-6 on Saturday, and los ing 7-2 the following day. OPERATIONAL REPORT ADVANCEMENTS; C. T.
