Askov American., 1941-11-20
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Germany's attack on Russia has de-
veloped into a hectic race with Win
ter, and the result is that for the
moment the campaign apparently
makes no important progress. De-
spite advance assurances that Lenin-
grad and Moscow would be cap
tured "very soon", they still re-
main under the flag of the Soviet
republics, and that also applies to the
southern cities, Rostov and Astra-
khan.
If these latter two cities are
taken, it will mean that the Ger
man Panzer divisions will be
able to establish a strong and
forbidding line clear across the
northern part of Caucasus, cut
ting off that territory-rich in oil
and other minerals-frOm Russia
proper.
1t is not yet certain that the Ger
mans will be successful on the Ros-
tov-Astrakhan line, but there have
been quite few rumors heard that
they have taken strong positions near
the Crimean port of Kerch and have
crossed the strait separating Crimea
from Caucasus, thus making a back
door entry; if the rumors are correct,
but that we don't know.
Finnish War.
Russia is, quite naturally, deeply
interested in eliminating Finland as
an enemy, fighting with the German
troops, and for that reason, Great
Britain and the United States also
have been hopeful that Finland would
stop fighting. Indeed, they have made
demands to that effect.
But the Films have replied that
they do not want to withdraw
from the war as long as Russian
soldiers still remain on Finnish
soil.

international News Review

AT the same time, the Helsingfors
government made it clear in a note
to the United States that it is willing
to keep the door ajar for further dis
cussion; only, they seem to feel that
as long as the British and the Ameri-
can governments demand of them that
they quit, England and the United
States should offer some sort of sup
port in case an enraged and disap-
pointed Germany turns its wrath
against them. For such a thing is
likely to happen if the Firms lay down
their arms-Germany will not toler-
ate that, and may take extreme meas
ures, should it happen. On whom,
then, can Finland rely?
Far East.
Asiatic Russia remains quiet, but
there is controversy pending be-
tween Moscow and Tokyo. A short
time ago the Japanese government
warned the Russians that it would
not tolerate the scattering of mines
in japanese waters. A little later
the kehl Maru, Japanese steamer.
was struck by a mine off the coast
of Korea, and went down, the re-
suit being that the Tokyo govern
ment, feeling certain that the mine
was Russian, sent a sharp protest to
Moscow
The Soviet government has re-
piled that it does not accept re-
sponsibility for the disaster.
Since last summer there is in ex-
istence a Russo-Japanese non-ag-
gression treaty, and that is likely to
be put to its first real test now.

Central Falls, R. l., April IT. (UP)-Young Don Heinicke, who has finished second and third in two previous attempts, is my choice to race to glory in the Boston A. A. Marathon Saturday.
 With two years experience in covering the difficult Hopkinton to Boston course, Heinicke should be ready for victory this year. Johnny Kelley, @ veteran who proved he still was at his peak by winning the North Medford 20-mile race for the sixth time, looks like the run- nerup.
 Although I am the defending champion and hold the record for the B. A. A. event, think I shall do well to finish third.
 It's pretty difficult to pick the top ten from such big field, but perhaps htey will finish in this order-Leslie Pawson, fourth, Lou Gregory, fifth, Andre Brunelle, sixth, Joe Smith, seventh, Tarzan Brown, eighth, Fred McGlone, ninth and Paul Donate, 10th.
 This will be my sixth try at the Boston course. In my others, was 2323d, seventh and twice eighth.
 I started my training this winter on snowshoes, wining the Cana dian championship at 10 miles. I came here from my St. Hyachinthe, Cue, home to finish training.

Early Season Big League Results Make Experts Look Bac
LOCAL TEAMS IN
 SUNDAY DRILLS
Tribunes, OverlOoks and Blessed Sacraments
 Schedule Workouts

Another sure sign of spring is the baseball workouts scheduled by local teams in the city and parks leagues with no less than three such drills carded for Sunday afternoon. Man. ager Patrick Emmett Shea of the Tribunes, after a two hour huddle with Jerry Rinaldi announced a Tribe drill for Sunday at Hamilton Park at which time a game or two may be lined up for them before they enter into the more serious competition within the City Anna teur League. The time of the Sunday drill is secret, but 2 p. m. would be reasonable.
 Bob Banziger's Overlook A. c. en- try in the city loop will overlook nothing to get on razor edge for the first game in the league which has nt, as yet, been scheduled. In the meantime, the Looks will work out Sunday, 1:30 at Fulton Park, and hope that Paul Bernier will handle the team this season, once again.
 Players seeking a position on the team are asked to see Bob Banziger before practice. The members of last years team, who are asked to report are John Began, Francis Fahy, Joe Verno, Frank Stuart, Bob Palmer, Jack Brickel, John Lynch, Herby French, Win Egan, Bob Ban ziger and illiam OKeefe.
 Blessed Sacraments will drill Sum- day ct Bunker Hill field, George O'Rourke to handle the team from the bench, who asks any and all members of the parish who play baseball to try for positions on the team, none of which are certain at this time,

some pitching quality out of quan- tity.
 Chicago Is about the same, and Jimmy Dykes is due to run out of miracles.
 Washington is supposed to have three first-rate pitchers in Sid Hud- son, Dutch Leonard and Kendall Chase, yet they lost & half dozen more games than they won in 40 Buck Harris is still searching for first baseman and Buddy Lewis is headed for the army.
 It seems that the new deal be- ing engineered by Jimmy Wilson at Chicago's Wrighley Field will be assisted no little by the Los An geles Lou-Lous, Novikoff and Strin- ger, but the Cubs will do well to keep Pittsburgh out of the upper despite the Pirates lack of pitch- ing.
 The once proud New York Giants wander forth aimlessly. The Bos- ton Bees pitching isn't as good as 1t is cracked up to be, and Casey Stengel lacks reserves.
 It's the same old Philadelphia story iIl both leagues.

YANKEES AND BROOKLYN WERE
 BEATEN AGAIN
FavOrites Horrible" to Date; Milnar Twirls TwO-
 Hitter; Siebert Bat Wins
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, April IT, (UP)-A Brooklyn fan leaving Ebbets field after his beloved Dodgers (the Bums) had lost their second straight to the hated Giants said himself mouthful.
 "You can't believe a thing deze experts write nowadays" he num- bled. 1T thought our Dodgers wuz gonna run off wid the pennant."
 The Dodger fans sentiments probably were echoed at Yankee sta- dium, Cincinnati and Detroit after the second day of the baseball sea- son. The Tanks dropped their sec ond straight to the Athletics, picked to wind up in the cellar. The world champion Reds tripped over the day. The American league cham Cardinals for the second straight pion Tigers, with their ace of aces, or Bobo Newsom himself, on the mound, were routed by the Browns in their initial start.
 Class Will Tell
 The Dodgers, Tanks, Reds and Tigers, rated as four of basehall's strongest clubs, have won only one game among them in eight starts.
 To be frank about 1t they all have looked horrible. But it's long season and class will tell over the route.
 In the National league the muchly maligned Giants and the hustling Cardinals are away winging and in the American league the Boston Red Sox (wllo are in mid-season form, having used seven pitchers in two ganles) and Philadelphia Ath- letics are setting the pace width pair of victories each.
 Sloppy Yankee pitching paved the way for the Athletics second straight win at Yankee stadium yesterday, 10-7. Dick Seibert hit two homers and Bob Johnson one in Q 13-hit attack on Breuer, Mur- phy, Peek ano Stanceu. Joe Di- Maggie clouted 430-foot homer, two doubles and single. Little Paul Rizzuto smacked double and two singles.
 Cleveland annexed its first win by beating the White Sox, 60, be- hind Al Milnar's two-hit pitching. Hal Trosky hit c homer with two on and Roy Weatherly hit one with one on.
 The Browns drove Newsom, who tired badly after seven innings, to GOV CT in the eighth, scoring eight runs off him and Trout to beat the Tigers, 8-1. Rudy York hit 430- foot homer for Detroits only run.
 Great Finish
 Bobby Doerr's homer with one on and Jim Tabor's with none on en- abled the Red Sox to score three runs in the ninth. And the Sox then went on to beat Washington, 8-7, in the twelfth. Pete Fox's single drove in the winning run.
 The Giants beat the Dodgers for the second straight day, 3-1, with Harry Gumbert outdueling Brook. lyn's $l00000 Kirby Higbe. Peewee Reese and Cookie Lavagetto each made two errors that hurt. Harry Danning's single with the bases loaded drove in two runs.
 Jimmy Browns ninth inning double broke up pitching duel between Morton Cooper and Johnny Wander Nicer and gave the Cards their second in a row over the Reds, 42. Cooper allowed only five hits while Wander Nicer gave up seven, walked six and famed eight.
 Manuel Salvo pitched three- hitter as the Bees won from the Phillies, Al.

Blake Johnson Bowling Notes

Tonight's slate rings down the curtain on the regular Patriotic Pin leagues season with three teams still very much in the running. Joe HowellS high riding Reds whose winning streak had reached the staggering total of 2l straight con- tests, were finally stopped by the third place Stars last week, thus giving the Blues an excellent chance of at least tying for the title.
 The Stars whipped the league leaders three straight and without the services of Al Ellis, their No. 1 man. While this was going on, Bill Christie's Blues, making last ditch effort to get back in that top rung knocked of the cellar dwelling Eagles three in a row.
 The Stripes bowl the Reds to- night in the feature match and if the Reds fail to lose game they can not be beaten uot for the cham pionship. On the other hand if they lose one and the Blues win three, a two-way tie will have been cre- ated. Any combination of one more Blues victory than 8 Reds will re- suit in a tie.
 Then don't count the Stars out. They should win three from the last-place Eagles and if they do this and the Reds lose two we will have another deadlock. Oh, well, we shall see, we shall see.
 The first annual league banquet will be held April 24 at the Chase Country club. It will be the first time the bowlers have had their banquet independent of the Recrea- ton society.

New York, April 17.-(UP)-The St. Louis Cardinals started theif l94l season by breaking out in g rash of home runs that drove Pau Derringer, ace pitcher of the worlo champion Cincinnati Reds, to the showers.
 If this keeps up, the slogan oi the Cardinals is going to be: Pills Produce Remnants.
 Ever since they arrived at theii spring training camp in St. Peters- burg, Fla, the Cardinals have peer chewing away on 25,000 vitamin B-1 pills. Bottles of the things were ly' ing around the clubhouse in sucr profusion that baseball writers won- dered whether they were in & spring training camp or had blundered inte the biennial convention Of the Amer ican Pharmaceutical association.
 Sitting on Q bench in the sun crammed all the way to his tonsik with B-l, was President Sam Brea- , don of the Cardinals, delivering ar oration worthy of Desmostheres or the virtue of the little white pills he was feeding his players. He beaned as Lonnie Warneke, the aged, creaky-j -jointed pitcher, ran like A frightened deer around the bases. He went into raptures as old Gus Marcuso sprang around home plate as though this was his first season as a big-league catcher
 Having converted his ball players to B.l by the simple device Of or dering, Take them pills" Breador decided to do & little missionary work among the sports writers whc were lolling on the bench beside him. He pointed out that B-l was the morale vitamin" and that base- ball writers would need something to sustain them in the grinding monotonous work of watching bal games all afternoon all summer. Your correspondent agreed tc serve as a guinea pig in this ex- pertinent, procured @ bottle of B-1 and swore on 8 stack of score cards to take them faithfully. The last one has just been consumed and the time has come to file 6 report with Breadon.
 Not So Good
 Let US say at the outset that the clinical report is pesyimistic. Since making the pact with Breadon, your correspondent mas participated in three athletic endeavors, to wit:
 He played first base for the Tampa Nuggets in the annual sports writers baseball game in Florida got no hits in four times at bat made one error and fell fiat on his face trying to catch a pop fly to the infield. George Kirksey, United Press baseball writer who scorned B-1 all spring. looked like Iris Speaker in left field, scored run and managed the Nuggets with all the astuteress of a John McGraw.
 Your correspondent got involved in a sports writers golf tournament ct As1eville, N. C.. including side bet with Chet Smith. sports editor of the Pittsburgh press who thinks it's a shame to waste good bottle glass by using it to package B-l At a crucial stage of the match your correspondent blew a two-fooi putt and Smith dropped an l8- footer for q birdie.
 The third and final catastrophe occurred when your correspondent

Cleveland should have walked in last season, but the cry babies were too busy chasing the deposed man. ager, Oscar Witt, out of his job.
 They couldn't hit the ball out of the infield when a long fly would have won key games for them in the stretch.
