WHITE SOX AND GIANTS FORGE
TO FRONT IN BASEBALL RICES
The Chicago White Sox
and the New York Giants
are sharing the spotlight in
the American and National
leagues, respectively, as they
lead the way to the rest of
their rivals in the infant
days of the current major
loop baseball race.
Without a blemish on
their record, the White
Sox have scored five straight
decisions to enjoy a full
game advantage over the
New York Yankees and the
surprising Philadelphia At-
hletics who are deadlocked
in second place with the
same number of wins and
two beatings.
Still surprising is the
showing of the champion St.
Louis Browns, deep in sixth
place, who eked out a 4-3
win over the Cleveland Ind-
ians on Thursday to snap a
five-game losing streak.
Over in the National circ-
uit, Mel Ott’s Bronx nine
likewise enjoys a full game
lead over its nearest rivals,
the Chicago Cubs. Two wins
over tlie luckless Philadelph-
ia Phillies, 5-2 and 2-0, Wed-
nesday and Thursday, while
the Cubs were idle, enabled
the Giants to creep ahead.
Causing attention is the
performance of the Boston
Red Sox who have been left
at the post every time out
and have yet to notch their
first victory.
Tommy Holm.es of the
Boston Braves is clouting the
liorsehide at a .441 clip to
lead the National league
hitters, while Eddie Mayo of
Detroit boasts a .458 mark to
pace the batters in the jun-
ior circuit.

Sgt. Albert (Hank) Soar,
one of the Greenland basket-
ball players now touring the
island, paused for a few mo-
ments to demonstrate some
of the form which made him
one of pro football’s best
backs with the New York Gi-
ants with whom he played
before going overseas.

ARMY CAN YOU USE IN

Pvt. John P. Rokop of the
Air Corps
here says he
thinks that the
radio train-
ing he receiv-
' < ed in basic
Pj\ || will be of
some assi-
stance. A railroad secretary
from Chicago, John also
states laughingly that the
flying training he had in the
Cadets may prove how safe
the automobile really is!

“Louis says, “I used to drive
and not pay any attention
to the condition of the car.
Now I know that you must

shape.”
With just a little reword-
ing of our
Camilla Nc-
werf of Club-
23. “In Red Cross work,”
Camilla says, “I’ve learned
tolerance towards others
and their ideas.” Other im-

as has learned are develop-
ment of a broader sense of
humor and the application
of common sense.

War Deaths Set Record
More United States' lives
have been lost in combat
during World War H than
were lost in the Civif War,
previously the costliest in
the nation’s history.
