Even Burglars Can't Stop Joe's Singing Bat

The next time DiMaggio came
10 bat he tried TO keep the ball
away from right field by hitting
slashing grounder over third
base, jim fAl JenningsD Tabor
did the dirty work this time. He
dashed over. made a back-handed
stop and whirled and threw Di-
Maggie out at first. II was the
most outrageous robbery since
Paris stole Helen and started
the Trojan war.
BY this time DiMaggio was
bored with this Iawlessness and
50 was Manager Joe Mccarthy
of the Yankees.
BY doing considerable think
ing between the fourth and
sixth innings they hit upon
method of restoring law and
order. The idea was to belt
the ball out of the park where
the Boston bandits couldn't
touch 1t.
DiMaggio went to bat in the
sixth, took two balls and then
hit foul. On the next pitch.
he blasted a home run into the
lower left field stands.
Heigh-ho, Silver, the bandits
are fleeing in all directions!

lead was maintained all the way.
Buttons offensive strength was
a complete reversal of the opening
game week ago against Vaughns-
vile when the crew rolled up a
total of At points.
Against South, eight players were
unable to connect with any degree
of accuracy from the floor, and sta
tistics show the team was successful
on only five of 90 field goal attempts.
A further handicap was the fact
that center Bob Cooney was out of
the lineup with an ankle injury.
South held an IL to lead at the
close of the first quarter; the half
time score was is TO IS, with South
in the van; at the third quarter
Bluffton was trailing, 81 to is.
Archer, South's towering center,
did some fine work for the Tigers
under the boards, scoring is points
during the evening. Smith, South
guard, was second high scorer, garn-
ering nine points.
Beidler was top man in the Bluff
ton offense with eight points, and
Howe got five.

Missionary Returns On
Liner acadia" With
Survivors OF Nazi-sunk
Freighter

Continued from page il
not return to Africa with the family
during their last three year term of
service but has been attending Pan
dora High school where he will
graduate this spring. Their second
son Roy, 10, returned from Africa
with his parents.
Arrive in Brooklyn
Rev. Schultz and family arrived in
Brooklyn, New York Saturday night,
November % after a crossing of
nearly a months duration, part of
which was through submarine in
tested waters. Ordinarily they
would have returned about six
months sooner but due to difficulties
in booking passage they were not
able to come until this time.
Although originally member of
the Grace Mennonite church of
Pandora, Rev. Schultz is working in
the West African mission field under
the board of the United Brethren in
Christ. Due to the reaction of the
tropics on the human system, fur
loughs are arranged every three
years instead of the longer periods
of other climes.
Lehigh Survivors
In addition to 78 missionaries
aboard the Acadia there were Al
survivors of the u. S. freighter
Lehigh sunk by torpedo from a
Nazi U-boat rs miles northwest of
Freetown, main port of Sierra
Leone. The freighter was torpedoed
without warning about o'clock in
the morning of October 10 and sunk
about an hour later without loss of
life.
Considerable publicity was given
to the sinking of the Lehigh in view
of the fact that the American public
was provided with the first picture
of a sinking boat carrying the
American flag painted on the sides
of the vessel. The current issue of
the Life magazine carries pictures
of the sinking.
Mistaken for Acadia
Some observers have pointed out
that the German U-boat was really
waiting for the liner Acadia instead
of the Lehigh. In her trip to Free
town she was scheduled to pass al
most the same point at the same
time which the Lehigh was sunk.
She was carrying 100 Pan American
Airways technicians who were pre-
pairing to set up air bases for
American made bombers ferried to
Africa.
The crew were in lifeboats for
two days when they were picked up

Pirates Off Form,
Lose To Lima South

Unable to connect on shots from
the floor, Bluffton High cagers failed
to match a blistering Lima South
last-half assault and the Pirates
went down to defeat in the Tiger
gymnasium last Friday night by a
score of 40 to %.
Altho off form, the Dillermen man
aged to stay within striking distance
of the Lima team during the first
half. In the second quarter, par
ticularly, the Bluffton defense ap-
peared to be tightening as Lima was
held to five points, and the Pirate
offense at the same time rolled seven
points thru the hoop.
1t was the only time in the con-
test, however, that the locals held
the advantage, and South's early
