The Sports Trail By WHITNEY MARTIN I HEW YORK, April 10.— (JP) — Midweek mutterings: Bob Coleman of the Eraves says he js satisfied he has a first di is on club. Perusing similar .'atements from other pilots there is just one conclusion, to wit: this Ml be the first season in history jtj, eight clubs finishing in the t rst division in each major league. Frankie Frisch, Pirate manager, has missed spring drill because of bursitis, arthritis and other ail ments. Shucks, we thought all those fellows were on the rosters s5 active players. We thought ry highly of the Cincinnati Reds «, a Dark Horse until reading 1hat Eddie Miller hobbled into camp with a cane. At that, we’d rather have Eddie Miller out there with a cane than a lot of able bodied shortstops we’ve seen. Headline: "Dodger batters weak at plate.” How s that again? We’ve often wondered where batters were weak, and are glad to know it is when they are batting. Bill Stewart, National League umps, says a good, experienced umpire couldn’t call a decision against his judgment if he tried. The reaction of the arm and hand signals is so automatic that the sign is given in a split second without conscious thought, and il the umpire tried to call a play wrong intentionally he’d find hi; signs calling it one way and hi: voice another. The brittle Bobc Newsom reveals he suffered s broken collar bone in an auto ac cident last winter. That guy ha: had more breaks than a skeel club, including the one that sem him to Detroit in 1939. Jimmj Foxx is suffering from sore feet, indicating that extra “x” will mark the spot on which Jimmj will play first base this year. His theme song probably is “Don’t Gel Around Much Any More.” Breaking down Bryon Nelson s golf game, which the other play ers don’t seem able to do, shows he averaged a birdie about every third hole in shooting his 263 al Atlanta. We aren’t so sure about Whit Wyatt, but we think Vince Dimaggio will help the Phillies considerably. He strikes out often with great gusto, but he really hits a long ball and covers plenty of floor space out there in center field. Wyatt has had arm trouble before and come vack, so maybe he’ll fool the skeptical this year, although it’s a lot farther coming back from 37 than it is from 17. I Whitey Auld Making Good With Navy Club Bill "Whitey” Auld, three-sport star and Christman Trophy winner New Hanover High School last year, is now cavorting about third base lor the Naval Air Station base ball team at Corpus Christi, Texas. The fiery blond has broken into the Airmen lineup despite an abun dance of hold-over material from their last year's club. Aide copped the Christman cup while starring in football, baseball anti basketball at New Hanover last year. The trophy is awarded annually to the senior boy with tHe best combined athletic and aca demic record. A highly competetive athlete, Auld has developed into one of the most efficient of the Airmen in fielders Fast afield and possessing a good throwing arm, he is a main stay in their strong inner defense. the husky nineteen year-old, who has rocketed up to 200 pounds since entering the Navy last July 28, is also showing up well at the plate. A righthanded batter who hits to all fields, he has been clouting op posing pitching at a lusty clip. A knee injury that hampered him in the 1943 grid campaign has cleared up, and the big blond is running the bases with the same dash that made him one of the top sack thieves in the Ea^ern Con ference for two seasons. The scrappy Wilmington boy is regarded by Texas diamond men as a fine prospect for professional bas'-bali. Although planning to at tend college, he reportedly lias a definite eye toward entering the play-for-pay ranks after the war. The Airmen will play a full sche dule. having carded tilts with many service teams. A host of ex-pros stud the lineups for these clubs, so the 1943 season may well prove a major test for the promising youngster I -- i "We hope this is only a bad dream' UP TILL NOW, iis is only a ba dream-because our trucks are still hanging together, and we can make deliveries of Pabst Blue Ribbon to our retailers on a regularly sched *ded, restricted basis.

Amputees from the Walter Reed Hospital demonstrated this today by playing a four-inning softball game in which the enlisted men, all leg cases, whooped it up in de feating the officers’ team, 12 to 6. The game was a feature of the Army’s physical reconditioning pro gram. As they amazed themselves, civil ian onlookers, newsmen and ca meramen with their agility, the amputees played as hard and had as much fun as kids on a corner Tot. A big blond headed Staff Ser geant Frank Bogdan of Buffalo, N. Y., swatted two home runs, and circled the bases on a gallop. He also pulled two double plays at short. Bogdan lost a leg in South ern France as a member of an anti aircraft battery with the Seventh Army. In his high school days, he I was an all-around athlete. Wally Pierowicz. also of Buffalo, N. Y., caught for the Cl’s sitting in a chair As a medical aide. Wally lost both legs at Anzio Beach. He hopes to “throw away the chair” but go right on catching. Wally once played in the Florida State League under the name of Pierce, for simplificatoin, and was sold to St. Paul of tlie American Association just before the war broke out. -V YANKS INVADE TSUCEN ISLAND (Continued from Page One) of the American lines were report ed today by Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz. All were beaten off. Marines of Maj. Gen. Roy S. Geiger’s Third Amphibious Corps scored gains up to 2.500 yards in the north, overrunning enemy sub marine pens and other installa tions, but the 24th Army corps lines at the south were substan tially unchanged. On this southern battlefield, where the heaviest artillery duel of the Pacific war is in full fury, several Japanese counterattacks were hurled back. By 6 p. m. yes '“rday, Nimitz reported, there ere “no substantial changes in .he lines.’’ Artillery, ship guns and carrier aircraft closely supported the Yanks, who are driving on the Okinawa capital of Naha. The fleet communique reported that by midnight Sunday 4,009 Jap ; anese on Okinawa had been killed and 222 taken prisoner. At that 'time 43,378 civilians were under | care of the U. S. Military Govern ! ment. ! No details were given on the Tsugen island invasion. The island, ’■ust off the mouth of Nakagushuku bay, could serve to protect that im portant fleet anchorage. The Americans now control the mnei shore of the big harbor. . Marine artillery has joined in fantry big guns pounding the heav ily-fortified Japanese positions on Southern Okinawa.

NEUTRALS BARRED FROM PEACE TALK _ (Continued from Page One) There were these other pre conference developments: 1. The question of Argentina's attendance appeared to depend on tiie attitude of Russia toward the Argentine government which the United States, Britain and many other United Nations formally recognized yesterday. Russia would have to pass upon an Argen tine request for admission to the United Nations and also, if it were made, any suggestion that Argen tina attend the West Coast parley. 2. Stettinius said he was still hopeful that a new Polish govern ment would be set up at Warsaw in time to represent Poland. But other officials were unable to sight anything more than hope in sup port of this possibility. 3 Forty-two labor, business, pro fessional, . religious and similar organizations were invited to send one representative and an assistant each to the conference. This ad dition of 84 persons made it cer tain that American group dele gates, advisors and consultants would total many more than 100 persons. The consultants from the various private organizations will pay ineir own expenses. 4. The meeting of international jurists to provide for a world court within ttfe framework of the Dumbarton Oaks world organiza tion plan went into its second day with attention still focused on or ganizational problems. -V In old China, Marco Polo re ported, when a wife was delivered of a child, she immediately went back to household duties while the husband got into bed with the in fant and stayed there for 40 days, during which time his relatives visited him and there was great festivity.

There was no way of confirminj destruction caused by bombs drop ped from a 20,000-foot level, bu returning crewmen said that before depositing some of their loads thej could see several airdromes crowd ed with planes. A spokesman for Eighth Airforce Headquarters said “this record breaking number of enemy plane; destroyed on the ground may rise with final assessment of claims which is now incomplete and wil continue for several days.” One formation of Fortresses anc its fighter escort repulsed the heav iest concentration of jet planes sc far encountered over Germany when the bombers went in anc blasted an ordnance depot and fighter base at Oraniensburg, IE miles north of Berlin. Flying sometimes in waves ol more than four abreast, Flying Forts pounded German air fields in the Brandenburg and Magde burg areas, while Mustangs rip ped into more than 100 parked enemy craft on two fields north west of Berlin. Ninth Air Force fighters blasted at least nine ME-109s out of the ail north of Weimar and Gotha, while 16 Thunderbolts dropped fragmen tation bombs squarely on more than 500 freight cars, 350 of them loaded with ammunition, in the Neunemarket railyards 10 miles north of Bayreuth, and then sped on to other sidings where 28 more cars and two locomotives were destroyed. Two separate forces of heavy RAF planes, meanwhile, pounded two freight yards in Leipzig and the German radio reported more formations of British bombers were over the Reich tonight.

Members of the ‘‘weaker sex” have taken to every field of sports, swimming, track, baseball, golf, and now have prov en to be one of the biggest box office attractions of the nation in wrestling. Promoter Bert Causey is happy indeed to be able to bring cards of this caliber to the local mat fans. Pretty Ann Miller, was selected as the one to display her wares and try to unveil the “Mysterious Mis Red. “The Lady in Red” gets that ^monicker by wearing an out fit hiding her identity, which con sists of a mask, a flowing red robe and full-length trunks. If the stocky little Ann Miller of Baltimore can pin the masked lady two out of three falls, “Miss Red” will have to unmask and disclose her nam? to the local fans. Sonny Meyers, the “Sinatra” of wrestling, will make his second ap pearance here as a wrestler, going against 1he rugged old war-horse pf the mat, Texas Jack O’Brien. This will be a ease of science against brute strength, although O'Brien has Meyers out numbered in years and 'experience. Meyers has youth and speed: which evens up the match between the two. This match is scheduled for two out of three falls, 60 minutes time limit. In co operation with the Nation Wide Clothing for War Relief, the Promoter has made it possible for "Junior” to attend the match free, if he or she brings a bundle of wearing apparel. Of course, the adults are requested to bring along a bundle and pitch it in for good measure. Don’t be bashful, this is a Nation Wide Drive and every body is doing it. Ann Miller J ’CAT-GOLDSBORO TILT POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER Game Called After Third Inning, ’Quakes Were Leading 4-0 After playing.three innings in a drizzling rain, members of the Goldsboro and Wildcat baseball teams submitted to the weather man and postponed their scheduled game while the Earthquakes were leading 4-0. The Wildcats started off the game in fine style, sitting the first three Goldsboro batters down in rapid succession, only to have them receive the same treatment from the ’Quakes in the latter half of the frame. The Wayne County lads found the range in the second canto, parlay ing three hits and two Hanoverian errors into three runs. Jello Hal low led off with a single, Ellis sacrificed, and Price juggled Wil son’s easy out, allowing Hallow to advance to third and Wilson to reach first safely. David Stafford doubled to right field, scoring Wil son and Hallow. Dail popped up, and Donald Malpass, Goldsboro hurler, doubled to left field, scor ing Stafford. Pitcher Malpass continued to hold the ’Cats in check, sitting down Smith, Sharpe and Fennell in the second. The fourth Goldsboro run came in the third when Davis’ bunt was thrown over the first baseman’s head by Vic James, allowing Davis to advance to second. Davis scored on two passed balls. The Wildcats muffed their lone chance to score in the third when they collected two hits. Duncan Futrelle led off with a single, but was thrown out attempting to steal second. Tuttle walked, and James followed with a sharp Texas Leaguer, advancing Tuttle to sec ond. Price fanned and Tuttle was thrown out attempting to steal third. The Hanoverian horsehiders will still be seeking its first victory of the season when the locals journey to Elizabethtown Friday to en counter the Elizabethtown High nine. _v_ Newhouser Gets 7-2 Win Over Pale Hose TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 10. —(/P)—Hal Newhouser held the Chi cago White Sox to eight hits today as the Detroit Tigers won the fifth, and rubber game of their exhibi tion series, 7 to 2, but the loss of the game was only half of the Pale Hoses’ troubles. Manager Jimmy Dykes announc ed that the veteran Wally Moses, outfielder, will be inducted int* the Army at Chicago Saturday. Moses had been counted on to hold down right field this year; pre viously classified 4-F because of an old baseball injury, he recently had been accepted for limited serv ice. The Tigers climbed on Earl Cald well and Clay Toughctone for their sevpn runs in three innings. Rookie Frank Papiuh subdued them in the last two innings.

DAILY YANK, BROOKLYN MERGER FINALLY MEETS APPROVAL Bickering Finally Ceases With a Logical So lution NEW YORK, April 10— (7P>— Af» ter four days of bickering, spiced by Tom Gallery’s gesture of with drawing from the transaction, the National Football League today settled its most pressing problem of 1945 just as planned from th* beginning. That was by merging the Brook lyn Tigers, almost to the point of obliteration, with the Boston Yanks. This merger, expcced from the start of the league meeting last Friday, reduced the circuit to ten teams for 1945. Clu'' owners then began drawing up the season’* . schedule The Tigers, already committed to leaving Brooklyn, will virtually lose their identity except that one of the combined club’s home games —against the New York Giants— will be played in Yankee Stadium, New York.
