and now seems to be going
stronger than ever. He has hung
up two no-hitters so far this sea-
son and has been listed as win-
ning pitcher in eight consecutive
league games.
In two seasons Don has lost
but one league engagement while
being credited with 22 victories.
One of Don’s closest rivals,
and the hurler whom a lot of
the fellows would like to see Don
hook up against, is Ben Fried of
League 4. Ben has pitched the
Bacers to nine straight wins in
this loop and has six shutouts
to his credit as well as one no-
hitter. His latest win was a 1-0
decision over the Rattlers this
week.
One more team has fallen from
the unbeaten ranks since the last
figures were released. In League
8 the Tigers lost a 3-1 game to
the Giraffes after winning six
straight. However, they came
right back to spank the Monkeys,
21-11, and are still leading the
loop.
Another club which continues
to stay “up in the limelight” is
the Crows, leading League 2 with
eight wins and no defeats. In
their last start these sluggers
came from behind to down the
Eagles, 7-2. Kabik pitched one-
hit ball after the first inning.
THE WHITE FALCON trophy
which will go to the champion
at the season’s conclusion has
arrived from the States.
Cremos Maintain
WA Softball Lead
A hot race is still being wag-
ed between the Camels and Phi-
lip Morris clubs in league “A”
of the Western Association loop,
and each club added another
win this week. At present they
are tied for first place,

a standstill in four games, hold-
ing safe their positions in third
and fourth places, respectively,
but failing to threaten Washing-
ton. Jn the night game which op-
ened the series, Orval Grove lim-
ited the Tigers to five hits as
the White Sox won, 7-4, for his
eighth straight success of the
campaign.
The other clubs continued to
kill off each other. St. Louis and
Cleveland, both fighting to reach
the first division, wound up all
even after four games, and still
in the second division. The Brow-
nies won 4-3 and 4-1, but slip-
ped in a twinrfeature, 4-3 and
10-7.
Luke Sewell, Brownie manager,
signed a new contract this week,
extending his tenure through
1945. That gave him a free hand
to deal with Newsom, and Se-
well predicted Bobo’s right arm
will bring a pennant to St. Louis.
Newsom, however, insists he
“has been slighted” and will not
report for duty.

Death Cheats
Hero’s Mother
Death not only cheated Mrs.
Helen Forey from knowing that
her son, Philip, was safe, but also
that he was the first United
Nations soldier to set foot on
Sicily at the start of the in-
vasion.
Mrs. Forey waited anxiously
for news about Philip. She knew
he was somewhere in North Af-
rica, but that was all. Finally
the news came. It was too late,
Mrs. Forey was dead. She died
a few hours before the message
arrived.
FBI Finds Arsenal
In Youth’s Room
The FBI caught up with a man
who collects arms, but refuses
to bear them, when agents in
New York arrested German Paul
Franklin, 24, of New York City.
They found in his room nine pist-
ols, four rifles, an assortment
of knives and bayonets, 2,000
rounds of ammuntoin — and
several bogus 4-F draft cards.
