EASTERN LEAGUE.
Final Piayoff.

Although Maryland looked good in
Its scrimmage with George Washing
ton last Saturday, Coach Jack Faber
and his fellow members Of the board
Of strategy aren't ready to concede
the Terps have a championship COM
bination coming up for the South
ern Conference race.
Faber found most pleasure in the
fact that the squad was eager to
play. had q lot Of fireNand drive and
handled its assignments better than
1t has at corresponding periods in
previous years. But he also feared
a bad case of over confidence from
the 2-1 edge in touchdowns the
Terps gained.
We've been practicing two weeks
to G. WIS one" he pointed out. And
at this stage of the game that is
tremendous advantage. They aren't
as far advanced as we are and that
was the difference between the
teams. Later, when they've been out
four or five weeks 1t won't make any
appreciable difference, but it does
now. hope our squad doesn't be-
gin to think It's too good of that
one scrimmage. That would be q sad

Tulsa Girls Triumph
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Sept. 15.-The South
Bend, Ind, Bendix men and the
Tulsa, Okla, Higgins midget girls
headed homeward today with $500
gold trophies emblematic of the 1941
world softball championships.
The South Bend and Tulsa teams
won their titles before a crowd Of
5000 at University of Detroit Sta
dium yesterday afternoon, after sur
viving the rigors of a five-day, one
defeat elimination tournament in
which l06 teams participated.
South Bend, runnerup to Roches-
ter, N. Y, Kodak Parks by a 10
decision in the 1910 Amateur Soft
ball Association tourney, rolled over
Roanoke Rapids. N. c., Romancos,
8 to 0. to capture the 194l crown.
Russ De Barry, who had given
up only one run in winning five
tournament games, was blasted from
the box and Relief Hurler Howard
Sama also was unable to check the
14-hit assault that gave South Bend
its 38th consecutive victory.
Two-hit pitching by Nina Kor-
gan, nurling heroine of the finals,
gave Tulsa 80 victory over Cleve-
land Erin Brews in the girls divi-
sion. Four consecutive errors in the
fourth inning provided the winning
margin.
Tulsa succeeded Phoenix, Ariz.,

Hoyos' BIozis Is Great Punter

More American Golf
Due Despite Lack
Of Fan Support
&C. Pros Top Baltimore
Squad as Few Watch
Games First Test

More professional matches of the
same type will be served up to the
links public of Washington, follow
ing Bill Stones public unveiling of
the new game, American golf" on
his course at Halpine, Md, near
Rockville. Stone, a persistent be-
lever in the future of the new game
played on a standardized course be-
fore seated galleries, plans to go
forward with other matches on sue
ceeding Sunday afternoons.
His first match, between profess
sional teams from Washington and
Baltimore, today is rated an artistic
success, but a financial failure.
Around 100 people turned out on a
perfect early fall afternoon yes
terday to see the Washington pro-
fessional team, captained by Witty
Cox, go away out in front of a Bal
timore outfit, leading by 13 points
with four holes to go when the
match was Cancelled around o'clock
because of looming darkness.
Longer Hole Is Used.
The new Stone golf course, con-
structed at cost of more than
$4,000 along the Rockville pike, is
two-hole unit, the predecessor OF a
series of such units which the en-
thusiastic father Of American golf
predicts will go up over the land.
But only one of the holes was used
yesterday. This was the longer
hole of the two. played at varying
distances between 400 and $50 yards
and between 200 and $50 yards as a
one -shotter Darkness came on to
stop the match before its compile
ton, and undoubtedly future
matches will get unler way earlier
in the afternoon than the AIS start
ing time Of yesterday.
Stone himself was completely sat-
isfied with the initial demonstration.
They're moving right along" he
said. There's no congestion, and
they aren't getting many brides.
And these are the best men we could
get" But Bill took a considerable
wallop in the direction of the pocket,
for in addition to the cash he has
sunk in construction of the course,
the temporary stands he had had
erected to seat 1000 people around
the single green used yesterday cost
him more frogskins.
The idea Of the thing, in case you
are mystified, is to take golf out OF
the high-expense brackets, to build
up professional and amateur rivalry
between intercity teams, to interest
spectators in cumulative scoring by
professionals and to take the hoofing
out of watching golf matches. There
wasn't much hoof1ng yesterday even
by the players, for Stone had pro-
vided transportation for them from
the green to the tee.
Best Score Is Over Par.
Witty Cox and Al Jamison Of the.
Washington team played the eight
holes in 20 strokes, which isn't rated
bad golf in any company. But they
were seven over the score-card par
of the course. Others on the WASH
ington team were Lew Worsham OF
Burning Tree, Cliff Spencer Of East
Potomac Park, AL Treder Of Manor
and Leo Walper, driving range pro.
On the Baltimore side were Ralph
Beach, John Bass, Frank Invernizzi,
Willie Schneider, Leo Herman and
Jimmy Roche. w. R. M.

Altitudinous Al Blozis, George
towns all-America tackle candidate
may do some punting for the Hoyas
this season if experiments being
conducted behind the canvas-en-
closed football practice ground prove
satisfactory.
The report not only is denied by
Coach Jack Hagerty, but emphat-
ically. Al himself doesn't think
he'll be called on to kick his mates
out of an embarrassing situation,
but the fact remains that the big
boy is booting every day in practice
and grapevine sources hint the
coach is impressed by his work.
In refuting the rumor, Hagerty
merely points to last years disas-
trous efforts to make a kicker out
of Joe Daniels, another big tackle
who could put the pigskin up In the
clouds in practice, but was too slow
to be of any value in games. DAN
iels' punts scared so high receivers
stood around and waited for them
to drop when they fell inside the
park. Most OF them sailed over the
fence.
But Joe needed time to get the
ball away. He finally got chance
in actual competition against little
Waynesburg. the hard-bitten Penn
sylvania delegation that almost beat
Boston College to ending the Hoyas'
winning streak. Daniels kicks that
night were not the same high, spi-
railing flies he authored in practice,
but low, wobbly balls that bounded
crazily. But if Joe's punts weren't
pretty, statistics revealed they got
plenty of yardage and so the ex-
pertinent was not wholly unsuc-
cessful.
Hagerty, however. noted the time
required to get the ball of and en-
ployed Joe no more in that role

Prices for Many
Commodities May Be
Fixed, Nelson Says
Defense Purchasing Chief
Fears SpiroIing; Coils
Situation Critical
Ry LANES FREE.

The Nations commodity price
situation is in rather critical
shape" Donald M. Nelson, defense
purchasing director, said today.
UNLESS we can prevent general
price spiraling," Mr.. Nelson told his
press conference, I'VE may have to
fix many maximum price schedules.
I hope we can prevent blanket Or
der freezing prices on virtually all
commodities.
If demands for both military and
civilian needs continue to 90 up, the
purchasing chief declared, there
may be trouble in the following
commodity fields:
Aluminium, zinc, copper. steel,
textiles and certain grades of
leather.
Mr.. Nelson said he was convinced
some prices would 60 up and that
this fact alone would not be serious.
He stressed, however, that it is es-
sential that we prevent commodity
prices from chasing each other
around Dy tne tall.
Sees Food Price Jump Unjustified.
There is no reason for an acceler-
ated increase in food prices at this
time, he asserted.
Asked if he believed the price of
shoes and cotton textiles are exorbi-
tant Mr.. Nelson replied:
In the case of textiles let us say
that the industry is getting plenty
for its product"
Did you put the accent on
'plenty'?" a reporter inquired.
Il put the accent on plenty" MIR.
Nelson affirmed.
The present price of shoes is too
hign but not exorbitant, Mr.. Nelson
declared. The Army is now paying
an average of 1894 a pair for service
shoes, he said, as compared with an
average of $2.47 about year ago.
1--WE are a little too high now," Mr..
Nelson said, "but we were probably
too low last year"
He explained that perhaps farm
ers received too little for their hides
last year.
Fair Prices for Government.
Mr.. Nelson said the Government,
on the whole, has been able to get
goods at fair prices, although some
of the industries have been a little
greedy"
There is no justification for
blanket increase in the price of steel
at this time, he added, pointing out
that steel production capacity has
been increased greatly with an ac-
companying lowering of overhead
