MASS UNITS
MOSCOW, March 31 — (UP)
—Red army troops advanced to
seize favorable positions north-
east of Smolensk in a bayonet
charge today while Soviet art-
illery broke up German prepa-
rations for a new assault against
Russian defense lines on the
Kharkov front.
Everywhere, however, activi-
ty was on a reduced scale as
mud bogged down tanks and
other vehicles and slowed in-
fantry movements.
The Soviet mid-day communi-
que said ihe Russians killed
200 enemy infantrymen with
bayonets and grenades in a
charge south of Bely on the
Smolensk front that carried in-
to German trenches.
Elsewhere on the Smolen-
sk defense perimeten, the
communique said, the Rus-
sians hurled Itaek a German
counter-attaek with heavy
losses to the enemy. Eleven
prisoners were raptured.
One German bomber was
shot down and another dis-
abled.
The capture of two hamlets
and a strongly-fortified defense
center on the Smolensk front
yesterday was reported in the
Tuesday midnight communique,
which said 300 Germans were
killed in the fighting.

By their triumph, the
Cowboys earned the right

Garden Thursday night.

The Germans were concen-

Browns Hoping
To Climb Higher
NEW YORK, March 31 —
(UP) — The St. Louis Browns
never have won an American
league pennant, but- this is the
year that Manager Ljuke Se-
well hopes to break the jinx.
A surprise third last season,
the Browns were rated as one
of the clubs to boat in 1943
when they went into spring
training. Since then the draft
has been operating on the St.
Louis roster, however, and the
championship hopes have been
dimmed considerably.
First the Browns lost Walt
Judnich, their hard-hitting out-
fielder to the service. Then
came the 1-A reclassification of
Vernon Stephens, their brilliant
shortstop, and Glen McQuillen,
an outfielder. Until then, the
Browns hadn't felt the inroads
which the war has made on
baseball's manpower.
But with the draft hitting the
other teams, too, Sewell feels
the loss of those three men
will not he fatal to his club’s
chances.

ASBURY PARK, N. J., March
31 — (UP) — Manager Joe Mc-
Carthy of the Yankees leaned
back on the old-rose sofa, ex-
pelled a puff of cigar smoke and
said: “As far as the American,
league race is concerned, I fig-
ure we're the club to beat.”
Chatting in the lobby of the
Albion hotel, McCarthy was in
excellent spirits as he discussed
prospects of his 13th season as
pilot of the Yanks.
It was pleasantly surprising
to find the ruddy-faced man
with the lantern jaw radiating
good cheer. We had expected
him to flourish the crying to-
wel after losing to the services
such notable performers as
Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Henrich,
Buddy Hassett, Phil Rizzuto,
Red Ruffing, etc., and now fac-
ing the possible loss of Rookie
George Stirnweiss.
But McCarthy said, “I’m not
worried about anything. We’ll
put a good club on the field —
at least as good as any club
in our league. The other clubs
have been hit by the war, too,
you know. We’ll have punch,
speed and good pitching. Of
course, we’ll miss the boys who
have gone, as who wouldn’t,
but we realize that there’s a
war on."
The Yanks are prepared to
defend the seventh pennant
they have won during Joe’s 12
years at the New York helm.

“OPOTLIGHT Bands”, the
^ radio program broadcast over
Blue Network every week night for
Coca-Cola, features the nation’s favorite name
bands. Their names mean something because
their hands have something extra to offer.
Coca-Cola got where it is by offering some-
thing that more than quenches thirst. It
brings a delightful after-sense of refresh-
ment, too.
In ice-cold Coca-Cola you find quality you
count on. You find delicious taste that sets it
apart. You find refreshment that goes into
energy. Anybody can make a soft drink, hut
only The Coca-Cola Company makes
The only thing like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola, itself.
It’a natural for popular names to acquire friendly
abbreviations. That’s why yon hear Coca-Cola called
Coke. Both mean the same thing... “coming from a
single source, and well known to the community”.
Lines arc put in, stages fixed, loudspeakers honked up, and
rehearsal begins. Soon, the hoys in uniform \%ill hear
their favorite hand in person just as their families will
on their home radios.
