They meet before an expected

The All-Stars, although under

in the afternoon. There being no

Poisson ingenuity again came into
play. At his suggestion the three
rain coats aboard we're soon con.
verted into sails, members of the
crew being used as masts. With
he aid of a gentle wind Pilot Pcik-
ard brought the craft sufficiently
asore to be anchored in compare

But the crews troubles were not
over. The prospect of spending the
night aboard away from dinner,
wives, families and the comforts
of home was not pleasant to con-
template. The urge for those things
was very great. The Captain sug-
gested to deck hand Smith that he
swim ashore and walk to Carolina
Beach and obtain aid. Rather than
do so keck hand Smith resigned
upon the spot. First Mate Thorn

being excellent swimmers, and
preferring solid ground to rolling

perform the task. They stripped,
donned life preservers, tied their
scant belongings on their chests,

DYKES CAN'T MAKE

Whenever He Can

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-R-The
inability of MI. James Joseph
Dykes to manipulate the American
league is a matter for public sym.
pathy. Jimmy keeps saying the
Detroit Tigers will win the pen
nant. but every time his Chicago
White Sox get a chance they hold
that that Tiger" and every time
they play the Cleveland Indians,
whom Dykes hates, the White Sox
fold up like a well-oiled hinge. . .
We like the initials of Stan Spence,
the Boston Red Sox' pinchhitter,
SOS. George Selkirk, who
last spring started out to have his
best season with the New York
Yankees, hasn't had a hit in 16
turns at bat and is down to .259.
Player Losses
If the mutinous Indians feel the
leveland club is mis-managed on
the field, wonder how they feel
about the front office. The
fellows who lost Lee Handley, Tom
Heinrich and other players, and
nearly lost Bob Teller, put through
option papers the other day on
Pitcher Cal Dorset. Only to
find he couldn't be optioned.
Best Bunter
Dominic DiMaggio, Boston's 'lit-
tie professor" is by way of be-
coming the best bunter in the big
leagues. All this talk about
Jackie Hayes playing for the White
Sox with one blind eye overlooks
Tom Sunke, who pitched for the
St. Louis Cardinals last season
with only half his sight. Win
Sid Hudon of Warrington had a
record of ME lot and two won

that Dutch Meyer of the Tigers
gives really stand for Lambert
Dalton.
Eight-Day Stay
Jim Tabor got out Of the hospital
eight days after his appendicitis
operation and showed up in the
Red Sox' clubhouse that very day.
&. Some of the seekers almost
tainted. Lefty Grove always
goes strong against the Washing
ton Senator's; he beat them four
times last year without losing a
one. Max West, who is hust-
ling hard at first base for the Bos-
ton Bees, broke into the majors at
the initial sack and Casey Stengel
says he'll stay there now.
Player Or Usher

manager of Browns, never mind

best he can. Either he's a ball
player or he's a movie usher" 4

SKIPPER TO FACE
ALLEN ON MOUND
Bears Hold One-Game Edge
In Series; Harlan McKeithan
Back In Lineup

With Leland holding a one-game
edge in it's series with the Pirates.
the Bears and BUGS tangle again al
Legion field tonight at 8 o'clock in
what promises to be the most excit.
ing game Of the series.
Norwood Skipper. ace of the Pr
rates hurting corps, will oppose
Snag Allen, forme r Pepsi-Cola
moundsman, who set the BUGS back
on their heels last Friday night.
The Bears have lost only one game
to the Pirates and Skipper was the
man who caused the defeat.
Expected to add considerably to
both the locals defense and offense
is the fact htat Harlan Mckeithan
will be back behind the plate. The
veteran catcher will probably get
the lead-off spot in the lineup.
The remainder of the BUGS lineup
will probably be: Moore, first base
S. McKeithan, second base; Rowan
or Smidt, shortstop; Stefano, third
base; Carter, Davis and Trogden
outfield.
Leland will probably use it's same
