The Sports Trail By WHITNEY MARTIN Wide World Sports Columnist NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—We wonder a little just how the fans who staged the we-wuz-robbed demonstration when the light curfew cut short the Dodger-Giant benefit game at the Polo Grounds at 9:10 the other night would have felt if, at their insistance, the lights had remained on and at 9:14 a U-boat, aided by the glow :rom the iield. had sent a torpedo into the hide of a merchantman. We also wonder if they knew just whom the} veie booing, and why. , , ,_ In any such gathering you'll always find a percentage of Big-Hearted Bertrams who cheerfully put out their monev for entertainment with a charity angle, as ting only that they get their full money’s worth in return. That’s why sponsors of charity events, must ariange All-Star casts for their programs, whether it is a tight, a ball game, or a stage show. They know that these benevo lent souls don’t want apple pie. They want app.e P e " ith ice cream on it. and it they don’t get it they 11 yowl about the injustice of it all. - . - „11(TQV Thev’re patriotic enough, but it is a soit ot sugai coated patriotism. Take away the outstanding attraction and «ee how quickly they would snub the event,L eum n they knew that every penn. taken in would go to a worthy char it>. The Dodger and Giant officials made every effort to make their charity game attractive. To begin with, it is a natural rivalry which, without any charity angle ballyhoo, would figure to lure at least two thirds of the 37,000 fans to the park. The date was a natural, in that there was no conflicting at tratcion. The twilight-dark time was considered the most convenient for the most fans. It is assumed that the fans went to the game knowing that the lights must be turned off between 0 and 0:30. And they knew the reason the lights must be turned off. Therefore, when the lights were turned off, who were they blaming? Was it the umpires? They were acting under orders. Was it the club officials, for starting the game so late? The fans knew what time it was when they went to the p irk. Was it the governmental authori ties who ordered the dirnout? Your guess is as good as the next, although if the truth be known, they were booing the guys who started the war. It wasn’t the fault <>f anyone within several thousand’ miles that the lights had to he turned off at 9:10. They didn’t know, of course, that they were booing A. Hitler and his fellow-travelers. All they knew was that their pleasure had been in torrupted. A ball game was at stake, wasn’t it? What did it mat ter if ships and lives might be en dangered by leaving the lights on? Wasn’t the ball game, which they had paid their money to see, more important than that? They had to take out their spite WE NOW HAVE VICTOBY BICYCLES 114 Market St. For Those Who SNEEDEN CYCLE CO.

It is peculiar that these inarticu late hecklers had paid their money, at least theoretically, to aid the war effor, yet expressed disapprov al of this same war effort by bois terously criticizing a necessary con dition which interfered with their personal enjoyment. The whole affair was by no means a compliment to the intelligence and sportsmanship of New York fans, although it’s safe to sav the demon stration was by a minority. A few rotten apples can spoil a whole bar rel, you know. BOSQX SHUT OUT ATHLETICS, 7-0 WOLFF CHASED TO SHOWERS AS HOSE HIT HARD Boston Snaps Out Of Slump Behind Tex Hughson’s Three-Hit Tossing BOSTON". Aug. 5.—(IP)—The Bos ton Reel Sox snapped out of their recent lethargy today behind Cecil Tex'' Hughson's three-h.t pitching and uncorked a 14-hit barrage to .shut out the Philadelphia Ath letics. 7-0. The victory was double welcome since it was gained at the .expense of Knuckleballer Roger Wolff, who holds three straight decisions over the Boston club. Wolff was chased to the showers after the Sox had combed him for eight hits and five runs, four of the tallies being clustered in the fourth inning. > The Sox, meanwhile, teed off on j Wolff and were almost as disre spectful with Dick Fowler, his re lief. Tony I.upien broke the ice in the second by walking, stealing second and coming home in Johnny Peacock's single. In the fourth. Lupien’s double, sandwiched among singles by Ted iliiams. Boh Doerr Jim Tabor and Peacock, ac counted for three runs. Johnny pesky drove in the fourth with a deep fly to Valo. That was all for Wolff.

The contest was run off in one hour and r,1 minutes, easily beating the dimout deadline which had' halted the two rivals two straight nights at the Polo Grounds. Macon, the southpaw whom the Dodgers’ recalled from thei'r Mon treal farm club at the start of then last western trip, held the Giants hitless until the sixth inning when Mickey Witek. buried eighth in the New York batting order, belted a double against the left field fence.

Bases AOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY WILMINGTON COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY NEW GERMAN PUSH ADVANCES NEARER (Continued from Page One) 100 miles southeast of Rostov where the Russians are fighting a delaying action against German tanks and motorized infantry, a new Soviet withdrawal was an nounced. Lively artillery exchanges were reported on the northwestern front in the vicinity of Leningrad. The Russians retreated again in the Belaya Glina sector deep in the Caucasus today to escape en velopment by German parachute troops and furious assaults by tank masses and swarms of dive-bomb ers. , The lines in the Don elbow 75 miles west of Stalingrad stiffened and held after a withdrawal yes terday, but a retreat in the Tsim lyansk sector 130 miles southwest of the great industrial city on the Volga increased he peril before that souihern finger of the German pincer. At Tsimlyansk, the Ger mans have crossed the lower Don. The defenders of the Kushchev ka area 50 miles south of Rostov repulsed wave after wave of Ger man reserves but were threatened to be outflanked by the German push down the Stalingrad - north Caucasus railway in the Belaya Glina region 65 miles to the south east. Under cover of night, the fear less Cossacks slipped through the German lines at Kushchevka and charged the Nazi infantry. They cut down 3,000 with their sabers and tommy guns and chased the remnants nearly two miles, dis patches said. Enemy parachute troops were dropped in groups of 100 to 150— complete with small tanks, light artillery, mine - throwers, mortars and machine guns — behind the Russian lines on the Caucasus steppes, seeking to disrupt com munications and cut off the front liners. The sky troops concentrat ed on rail crossings and small set lements, striving to hold on until motorized infantry arrived. But for the most part, the Russians man aged to exterminate them quickly, front line reports said. 3 __* Indians Bunch Hits To Down Browns, 8-5 ST.

J. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.— UP) — The War Labor Board, applying its wage stabilization formula, refused: a general wage increase today to 2,750 General Cable company em ployes in New Jersey and advocat ed government control over all gen eral wage increases. Th board's present authority ex tends only to disputed wage de mands brought before it. “It should be recognized by all concerned," said Dean Wayne L. Morse who wrote the opinion, “that the wage formula adopted by the board will not and cannot re sult in wage stabilization if it is limited in its application to wage disputes which come before the War Labor Board for final determ ination. If wage stabilization is to be ac complished, the terminal limits set forth in the formula must be ap plied universally and uuiformally to so-called voluntary wage in creases. “In order to accomplish such an end, it would appear necessary to require government review and ap-, proval of all general wage in creases. The inflationary effects of a race between prices and wages cannot be stopped in the absence of a governmental check upon wage increases as well as those which arise from wage dmands in disputed cases.” Morse also took occasion to say “there has been a considerable amount of misunderstanding” about the formula and said the board was satisfied its application would add less than one billion dollar,? or well under one and one half per cent to the present national wage bill of more than 70 billion. The AFL International Brother hood of Electrical Workers had asked an increase of ten cents an hour for the workers in the Bay onne and Perthamboy plants of General Cable. The boatd voted a three cent an hour increase for night shift workers, instead of five cents asked by the union. It re fused the union’s request to in crease the annual vacation allow ance of one week. Although the decision adversely affected an AFL union, the two AFL members of the board voted with the majority, while the two CIO members dis sented. The vote was seven to twa \T PELLEY PICTURED TRAITOR-PATRIOT » (Continued from Page One) say, it may have been disbanded in 1939, but 1 say it marches on today.

Smith concluded his arguments for the defendants by telling the jury that “Pelley intended to help the American people and to up hold the constitution of this glori ous republic.” Ewing, after using the v.’i .d “traitor,” had asserted earlie : “We find Pelley doing just v. anyone would do who was trying to help the enemy—that is, beat his chest and proclaim his patriot ism vociferously in order that these false protestations of loyalty might serve as a smoke screen for the poisonous dagger he was aiming at the heart of America.” 3 MANOR a? y’tFPeefz.
