As long ap the air offensive
remains big ^news along the
v shores of the Mediterranean!
Pantelleria, Sicily, Sardinia, and
the exile land of Napoleon —
Corsica — Flr'St Lt: Bob Long,
a Sweetwater pilot and his Fly*
ing Fortress "Lil Jo" are sure
to be in on the raids.
Lt. Long, son of Dr. and Mrs.
C. A. Long of Sweetwater, who
won his third oak leaf cluster
only recently, now is eligible
for the Distinguished Flying
Ci'oss for his softies, and opera-
tions over enemy targets. By
now the young officer probably
knows the toe a«d heel of the
Italian boot as well as he knows
the homeland map.
"When Bob's letters come they
give us morale," said his mother
who never finds sordid war writ-
ten into his regular correspon-
dence. Two letters came Satur-
day night, the first in 40 clays,
during the period of the clean
up of Tunis and Bizerte.
Lt. Long made international
news when he and his fellow
pilot flew the crippled and bat-
tered "Phyllis" across the chan-
nel and landed her after one of
the toughest raids of his over-
'< seas service. Since then he has
been promoted to a first pilot
and given his own Flying Fort-
• ress.
He had "won" a HrNay
leave for having gone ont on
a certain number of mis-
sions. He wrote from a port,
on the Mediterranean where
he saiil he was ".sleeping un-
der real sheets ami bathing
in the sea, eating chicken

It lodka like several teams are
hunched for the lead in the Vol-

the various aggregations seal-

ups, and smoother team play.

Spectators that see some big
husky clout that new $7.50 ball
over the firemen's high honey-
suckle fence must remember the
boys are seeking exercise, and
intend to get. it.
Been wondering if that big
shiny silver dollar lying aj
the bottom of the wishing
pool at Avenger Pool has
survived a steady barrage of
covetous glances. We'd sug-
gest the girls draw in their
nets a little early this time
to make sure General

Here's the smooth combina-
tion of firemen that beat the Air

The Scouts, including a couple
of inexperienced members, were

Shifting of personnel and hea-
vy duties at Avenger field has
kept a couple teams from out
there competing: and the champs
of the regular season may have
to have it out with the better
of.the field teams for the cham-
pionhip later.
The girl trainees play volley
ball and in the matter of height
j can field a sextet taller than any
j team in the present league. They
play that old game with a ven-
| geance, too, and might surprise
some of the male volley ballists.
THIS YEAR
NEW YORK, June 3—(UP)—
Comparing the conversion of
Pitcher Babe Ruth into an out-
fielder with other similar shifts
is basehall suicide but Stan Mu-
sial of the St. Louis Cardinals
has reversed the order.
Musial wanted to pitch until
1941 when he joined the class
C Springfield farm of the Cardi-
nals in the. Western association.
Some happy inspiration made
him switch to outfielder and in
132 times at bat, he was hitting
.379. When he moved up to Ro-
chester he average 32(>.
The Cardinals soon called him
and in 12 games at the close of
'41, Musial had every national
league manager envious. He belt-
ed .315 in his first full year last
season.
Musial is the batting spark-
plug of the club this year. He
is third in the majors and sec-
ond in the National league with
.362. He is tied with Dolph Ca-
milli of Brooklyn for the most
runs scored in both leagues at
| 31 and leads the two circuits in
hit production with 54.
, He had a perfect record as the
Ctirdinals dropped a 3-2 decision
to the Dodgers last night. He
collected a double in one offi-
cial time at bat and scored once
to boost his average four points.
Frank Oilman's |>inrh-hit
single drove in the nititli-i Jl-
ing run that gave Pittsburgh
a 3-2 decision over Boston
in a night game. The Pirates
tied the score in the ninth
on Elbie Fletcher's two-run
homer. A1 Lopez tripled and
two international walks fill-
ed the bases and set the
stage for Colman.
Tiie Cincinnati Reds, who have
made most of their records by
§ot hitting, set, a season high
in hits and runs for the club
by walloping the Giants, 13-6.
The Reds rapped five Giants
pitchers for 18 hits.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3 —
(UP) — Funeral arrangements
for Major William A. (Navy Bill)
Ingram, one of navy's greatest
gridiron stars, were being made
today.
A Marine corps procurement
officer, Ingram, former Annapo-
lis and University of California
football coach, died of heart at-
tack yesterday at his Los Gatos
home.
The 220-pound Ingram was a
veteran of active naval service
in the last war. He left a busi-
ness career built after retiring
from football coaching in 1934
to enter the marines in January.
An all-America player in 1918,
Ingram starred also for Navy
teams in 1916-17.

NEW YORK, June 3—(UP)—
A whirl on the sports-go-round:
The first meeting of Count
Fleet and Whirlaway probably
will be delayed until the Jockey
Club gold cup ($22,000 added)
at Belmont Park in October.
Meanwhile the Count is expect-
ed to concentrate on rich three-
year-old events, and to pass up
the less lucrative Saratoga cup,
which will be shifted to a met-
ropolitan track.
Quotations from the cauliflo-
wer patch:

The meeting at the Church of Christ
was off to a good beginning Wednes-
day morning.
Rro. Woods brought a message last even-
ing on "Personal Responsibility" show-
ing that to be good as God looks on good-
ness, was much more than refraining
from no postive evil. The speaker showed
that a man to be good must do good. Ex-
amples given. The master cursing the
barren fig tree, and the Rich man and
Lazarus, showing that the rich man was
lost because of what he did not do. and
the tree was cused because it did not
bring forth fruit, and not because the
fruit was bad
Personal responsibility is great thought
and Bro. Woods will continue the
thought tonight.
The Lord has a place for you. Have You
found your place? Come hear tonight's
message.

l eading Hitter
Quit Trying To
'Kill The Bail'
CHICAGO, June 3 —(CP) —
! Babe Dahlgren found a cure for
"homerun insanity" and as a re-
sult he's the National league's
! leading hitter.
I Dahlgren. first baseman o
the rejuvenated Philadelphia
Phillies', ended a most profitable-
series against the Chicago Cubs
yesterday by banging out three
hits in five trips to the plate to
bring his batting mark for 35
games to .378. Babe has been
particularly hot during the cur-
rent road trip, making 18 hits
in his 38 trips to the plate.
What transformed the genial
Bare, whose best batting mark
in several previous years in the
majors was ,2f>7. into a great hit-
| ter? Dahlgren readily supplies
| the ^nswer.
T finally overcame my home-
run craziness," he said frank-
ly, "you know 1 spent three
years with '.he New York 'Yan-
kees and the Yanks of those
years were power clubs. I knew
that if I wnated to fit in and
become accepted as part of the
machine that I had to be a long-
ball hitter too. The result was
that 1 got into the habit of
swinging from my heels on prac-
tically every pitch. I continued
to do it after I left the Yan-
kees too. r never was meant to
be that kind of a hitter, so I
changed this year ami made up
my mind merely to try and meet
the ball. The plan has worked
swell for me."

their featherweight challengers'
bout at Madison Square Garden

over Sal Bartola for their fea-

Lloyd Marshall for their Cleve-
land return June 8. Henry Arm-
strong is 7-5 over Gammy Angott
at Madison Square Garden,
June 11.
Font Frlck, president of the
National league, notices thai
players in his circuit are
having fewer brawls with
umpires and others this sea-
son. "One reason for this
may l>e found in the stiff
penalties we are handing
out. when such incidents do
occur," he adds.
Harry Mendel, former six-day
biice-raee tveoon, writes that he
is doing "just swell" with his
new Colonial Inn, Paterson, N.
J. Mendel says, "for the first
time in my life, I have the cus-
tomers going round and round."
. . . Ival Goodman, Cubs out-
fielder, recently joined his fath-
er-in-law, Herman H. Hunt, in
purchasing a movie theater in
suburban Cincinnati.
Dain Clay, the Rochester out-
fielder whom the Phillies ob-
tained in their five-plaver deal
with the Cards, has a great
throwing arm. Last season, with
Houston, Clay won a throwing
contest by hurling the ball from
home plate over the right field
wall, at a point 322 feet from the
plate. ,
Freddie Corcoran, tournament
manager of the professional gol-
fers association — now on leave
with the Red Cross in Great
Britain—writes that golf still is
being played in the British Is-
les. particularly in the early t v-
enings and week ends. Freddie
savs the courses are in good con-
dition although many have t nlj
two grounds keepers.
