While they still pay off on the
regular season games, which don't
start in most cities until tomorrow,
the results of 1941 competition in
the Grapefruit League" point to an
American League year.
There wasn't any all-star game in
the South this spring, such as the
one which started the National
Leaguers off to their unbroken string
of interleague triumphs in 1910, so
the only test of power lay in the
1873 spring training battles between
the two major circuits. American
League clubs won 70 of these to earn
a clear margin over the older loop.
Yanks Top Grapefruit Loop.
AS usual most of the major league
clubs fattened their record at the
expense of minor league rivals, but
for the most part the teams that
could win against big league oppo-
Sition were the ones that came out
ahead in the citrus circuit.
The slugging New York Yankees
topped the spring training with a
record of 25 victories and de-
feats. They won 10 and lost 8
against National League clubs. Fol-
lowing them came the Washington
Nationals Q7-D and the st. Louis
Browns $3.50. Washington lost
7 of its II interleague games, but
made up at the expense of other
American League clubs. The Browns
won 10 and lost 7 games against
National Leaguers for a record that
was second only to the Philadelphia
Athletics IL wins and 7 losses.

For a pitcher who won only
one game and lost six to the
Yankees last season, Dutch Leon
ard is confronted with tough as
signments in his first two starts
this year-both against the Yam
KEGS. Dutch was to pitch the
opener today, of course, and will
face New York again on Satur-
day. There's a possibility his
third start also will see him
against the Yankees at New
York on April 25 if he does well
in that first pair.
There's no indication that
George Case is learning to con-
troll his temper. Yesterday at
Baltimore it f1ared more violently
than ever when he went to the
stands in right field and chal-

him.

Second Busemun Not
Seriously Hurt as
Mats Top Orioles

The Mats Jimmy Bloodworth was
dubious starter against the YAM
KEGS today, but Joy arising from in
formation that WaShington's second
baseman isn't injured seriously is
being restrained pending his return
to the lineup History is loaded with
instances of baseball bric-a -brac be-
ing damaged by pitches bouncing of
skulls.
Bloodworth was to put in an ap-
pearance today at Griffith Stadium
after spending last night at Balti-
more's Union Memorial Hospital
the result of being skulled in the
ninth inning of the Mats final ex-
hibition game with the Orioles.
Washington won the game, 9-5. but
perhaps lost the services of Blood
worth for today and tomorrow.
"Borneo" Russ Miller, youngster
who last year pitched for McDonogh
School, unleashed a wild pitch
which landed atop Bloodworth's
head. Jimmy, dazed but not un-
conscious, was carried from the field
on stretcher and rushed to the
hospital, where he was given a
| thorough examination. Miller previ-
| ously had nicked First Baseman
George Archie on the arm with
fast ball in the eighth inning.
X-rays and examination revealed
no fracture or conclusion and ply
sicians told Prexy Clark Griffith that
BloodWorth could return here last
night. Griffith however. insisted
Jimmy remain at the hospital over
night and report to Griffith Stadium
this morning Bloodworth then was
confronted with the task of con-
vincing Manager Bucky Harris he
was able to open against the Yam
KEGS.
Myer Capable Sub.
Loss of Bloodworth for a day or
so is distressing, but not necessarily
knockout blow for the Mats, who
had the fttest Buddy Myer since
1885 on hand to replace him. In
Wardly worrying the Mats, though
they naturally won't say so, is the
suspicion the beaning may affect
Bloodworth'S future play.
The most improved member OF
the club, the fellow who is calcu-
lated to have much to say over
whether the Mats desert seventh
place, Bloodworth was fashy afield
and with bat in his hands in ex-
hlbition games. He figured in six
splffy double plays against the
Orioles in two days and otherwise
has been conducting himself as q
solid player.
Jimmy has given every indica-
ton of approaching his peak.
Plaguing his pals are some memories
which aren't cherisfled-memories

 A large part of the orders are from the Anchorage branch which is due to the extensive housing pro- gram in progress.
 The difficulty now hindering the company in increasing production is the result of the shortage of skill ed labor in the yards. The Com pany receives most of its timber from Kosciusko island, which is a little west of the Prince of Wales island, 200 miles south of Juneau.

 SPECIFIC PURPOSE

SPECIfIC PUkfOSE
 The President said the spe- cific purpose of the sinking of the Robin Moor appears to be the interruption of our trade with all friendly countries. We must take it that notice has been served upon the United States that no American ship or cargo on any of the seven seas can consider it immune from acts of piracy.
 "NCtice has been served upon the United States. in effect that the German Reich proposes to intimidate us so that we will be dissuaded from carrying out our chosen policy of helping Great Britain to survive.
 "In brief, the sinking of the Robin Moor was a warning to the United States not to resist any Nazi movement in the world conquest. It is warning to the United States that this nation may use the high seas of the world only at the con- sent of the Nazis. Were we to yield on this we inevitably would submit to world domina- ten at the hands of the pres ent leaders of the German Reich. We are not yielding and we do not propose to yield"
