Command Cage Tourney
To Head Winter Slate
A mammoth basketball tour-
ney, offering participation to vir-
tually every cage enthusiast in
the Command, will take over the
local sporllighl next month, with
each entry pointing toward a
trip to London for the ETO
tourney.
Teams in Hie Western Assn,
district started the ball rolling
prematurely Iwo weeks ago with
a practice schedule, while the
local- season will open as soon
as Ihe new fieldhouse is com-
pleted. Unit Special Service of-
ficers will meet Oct. 25 to for-
mulate plans for the Command-
wide scramble.
Enlisted-man teams will com-
pete in six divisions, the leagues
being subdivided according to
unit or camp strength. All of-
ficers’ -quintets will be placed in
one bracket.
Cagers will be permitted to
play on«only one team, hill some
units may be represented by two
or three squads. For example, a
unit may enter a club in one of
the camp-size divisions, and also
Capt. Don Scott,
Dies In Crash
Capt. Don F. Scott, 23-year-
old former Ohio State all-Am-
erican football star, was killed
when his medium bomber crash-
ed while on a routine flight
near a British base. Scott’s co-
pilot and a test engineer also
died in the accident.
Scott, commanding officer of
a Marauder squadron,, was mar-
ried shortly before leaving the
States. He was a backfield star
at Ohio State for three years
and was named on several all-
American teams in 1939 and 1940.
He entered 1 the Air Corps
March 15, 1941, and was com-
missioned at Kelly Field, Tex.,
Nov. 11 pf that year. He had
been on nine bombing missions.
send a quintet after the title in
one of the three organization-
size tournaments.
Since comparative size is hard-
ly a fair estimate of ability, even
ihe smallest groups will be con-
sidered in the playoffs for the
IBC championship. Survivors in
each bracket of the preliminary
shooting will advance to an eli-
mination flight.
Dodgers Dump
Redskins, 27-0;
Bears Triumph
Sammy Baugh and his Wash-
ington Redskins aren’t too con-
fident now of retaining their hold
on the National League’s Eastern
division football crown. In fact,
the Redskins aren’t sure of any-
thing since last Sunday’s rude
awakening when they crumbled
before the Brooklyn Dodgers,
27-0.
Nothing clicked for the champs
against the Dodgers, previously
regarded as the one club in the
Eastern section not worthy of
championship consideration. It
was the Redskins’ worst league
showing since that memorable
73-0 lesson fashioned by the Chi-
cago Bears in the title contest
two years ago.
In the Western loop, the Bears
and Green Bay Packers each
moved another stride along the
unbeaten trail. Opening with a
21-21 standoff, the Bears and
Packers now are far ahead of
other teams in the bracket.
The Bears, coming through
once again on the forward pass-
ing and team direction of Sid
Luckman, trounced their injury-
riddled neighbors, the Chicago
Cardinals, 20-0. The Packers
swamped the Detroit Lions, 35-14.

Cyclone Kills 7
In Mexico City
A total of seven persons were
killed and scores injured this
week in Mexico City when a cyc-
lone swept thru and destroyed
several residential districts.
—Baseball
(Continued from Page 6)
Russo. Brecheen, who took over
Lanier’s four-hit job in the
eighth, was charged with the
defeat.
The Yanks scored first, shov-
ing across a run in the fourth
inning on Gordon’s double and
Dickey’s line single to left. The
Cards knotted the count in the
seventh when New York’s de-
fense cracked after two outs.
Crosetti muffed Ray Sander’s fly
for an error, and Sanders mov-
ed to third on Danny Litwhiler’s
short double after Martin Marion
had walked. Johnson booted
Frank Demaree’s pinch-hit rol-
ler, permitting Sanders to score.
Russo won his own game in the
visitor’s half of the eighth when
he smashed his second double,
advanced on Stainback’s sacri-
fice bunt and dashed home on
Crosetti’s long fly.
In Ihe fifth and deciding game
Monday, Spud Chandler, No. 1
Yankee hurler, blanked Mort
Cooper & Co. for his second vic-
tory of the series. Chandler was
reached for ten singles, but turn-
ed on the steam whenever threat-
ened, while tlie Yanks came
through with seven safe blows
off Cooper, Lanier and Pvt. Mur-
ray Dickson.
Dickey broke up the pitchers’
duel and ended the series in the
sixth inning when he belted a
home run i over the right field
roof to score behind Charlie Kel-
ler. Dickey, incidentally, estab-
lished a new record Monday, too,
playing his 38th World Series
game with the same team, one
more than Babe Ruth’s old mark.
Dickson, who pitched tne last
inning, already is in the Army,
but he obtained a special fur-
lough for the series. That seems
to be the story of the Cards —
all their best men were in the
Army instead of on ihe field.

The remainder of the card sends
Jack Butler against Joe Near and
Ronald Rayle against Bernard
Tibadore in middleweight match-
es, while Bernie Caulk trades
blows with Herb Brining and
Manning Camp squares off
against Bob Bloom. The latter
two events are both in the light-
weight division.

Baseball Bat
Used By Killer
While his 14-year-old son.
Glenn, tried frantically to inter-
fere, Matthew Mattson of Detroit
clubbed his wife to death with
a baseball bat, then rushed from
the house and disappeared. Hr
is still a fugitive.
“I knew it would happen.”
Glenn told police. “Every firm
dad got drunk he heat mother
I tried to stop him. I grabber’
him around the waist but hr
slugged me and went right on.”
Invasion Across
English Channel
Called ‘Murder’
Senator Albert B. “Happy”
Chandler of Kentucky said in
Washington this week that he
believed an invasion of Ger-
many across the English Chan-
nel would be “mass murder”.
The senator, just returned
from a world tour, urged that
attention he concentrated on
attempts lo bombard Germany
into submission.
Disclaiming any ability as a
military strategist, Chandler
said, “I think the invasion of the
channel coast now would be mass
murder. The Germans have
established defense in depth
there and there is not any use
losing hundreds of thousands of
men by invasion if we can win
by other means. I don’t know
if we can win by air power
alone, but it is worth trying.”
Sen. Chandler asked that Gen.
MacArthur be given supreme
command in the Pacific and
Asia. He expressed the opinion
that, given sufficient planes,
men and equipment, MacArthur
could launch an offensive that
would cut off the Japanese hold
on the Dutch Indies by by-pas-
sing them and going to the Phil-
ippines.
VFW Commander
Outlines Plans
Robert T. Merrill, Commander
of the American Veterans of Fo-
reign Wars, speaking at his or-
ganization's 44th annual con-
ivention, this week outlined a ten-
I point program for returning Ser-
vicemen.
Merrill’s program would pro-
vide Servicemen with six months
mustering out pay, vocational
training, liberal hospitalization
privileges, preferential employ-
ment in government jobs, a 20%
increase in pensions, five percent
additional rating in Civil Service
lests, and the continuation of the
Veterans’ Administration as an
independent federal agency.
