tertaining.

tertalnlng.
The Governors address was large
ly devoted to civilian defense efforts
in Maryland. In part he said:
Maryland is doing its part thor
oughly in supplying our military and
naval establishments with necessary
materials. Not only are the plane
factories of our State contributing
vastly to the equipping of our air de-
tense forces for both the army and
the navy" he said "but from various
fronts of the current struggles in Eur
ope and Africa come increasing re-
ports of successful activities of Mary
handmade planes"
81 doubt very much whether any
one in Maryland, outside of the men
actually working in the shipyards, has
any idea of the tremendous contribu-
ton Maryland is making towards the
up-building of the American Mer-
chant Marine to the level required
by the present emergency" he said
"There is another problem, which
may seem to relate primarily to do
nestle questions but which has vi
tai bearing on the success of our pre-
paredness Plans" the Governor said
81 refer to the labor situation and
stoppages of work in defense indus
tries.
"There is no fair minded American
citizen of intelligence, believe, who
does not want to see American labor
receive everything to which it is en-
titled. But it must be remembered
that the security Of our country is at
stake. No group must be allowed to
imperil our national security by un-
necessary demands that can better be
decided in normal times rather than
at a critical period in our history.
"At a time when every public &C.
tivity is subordinated to defense eff
forts, mediation and Cancellation and
cooling periods should take prece-
dence over strikes and work stop
pages and novel demands. A final
authority has to be recognized and
that final authority should be the
Commander in Chief of our army and
navy, who is the duly-elected Chief
Executive of the nation.
"Upon the failure of the carefully
planned machinery to settle labor dis
putes, the President should be pos
essed of sufficient authority to deter
mine what is required for the coun-
try's interest.
Certainly if the emergency gives
the President the right to take young
men from their homes and schools
and place them in the army and navy,
then it is not going too far to give
him similar authority over other ele-
ments of the citizenry whose actions
might jeopardize the lives and safe
ty of our service men,"

The Cardinals may be down but

Estel Crabtree and Morton Cooper
wouldn't have been around yes

You wouldn't have bet plugged
nickle last June that Crabtree,
who's coming on to 81 eleven days
hence, would play another ball
game, much less be performing for
the league leading Cardinals. When
Billy tSouthworth moved up from
Rochester to become manager of
the Cards in June, Crabtree was
carted to the hospital for the re-
moval of a kidney. His recovery
exceeded all expectations and
SouthWorth told the Cardinal front
office he'd like to bring up the
veteran as a substitute outfielder
and coach for the young players.
Southworth's foresight is paying
dividends. Crabtree hasn't played
an awful lot but when he's been
in the lineup he's performed mir

tWenty-three hits in 81 times at bat

Now that it has become apparent
that the Red Sox aren't going any
where in particular this season.
Old Mike could put on a great
show if Cronin would give him the
green Light and let him do his stuff.
He has two good acts he performs.
One is to pitch the first game of
a double header and catch the
second one. The other is TO play
three innings at first base, catch
three innings and pitch the last
three
Despite the fact that he served
a term with the ST. Louis Cardinals
and now is a member of the Red
Sox, old Mike is not too well known
to major league fans. But in the
minor leagues he is known from
coast to coast. At various times
he has been voted the most valu-
able player in the American asso-
citation, the International league.
the Middle Atlantic league, the
Western league and the Western

Champ
Join S
Navy

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. (UP)-Wel-
terweight Champion Freddie (RedD
Cochrane held the distinction to-
day of being the first fighter to
enlist in the armed forces while
still holding his title.
Cochrane won the championship
from Fritzie Zivic in Newark, N.
j., only last week. He received his
selective service notification after
the fight and joined the navy yes
terday to help former Heavyweight
Champion Gene Tunney in the
navyss physical education pro-
gram.
i've always liked the navy he
said Il wanted to join when Pres
tdent Roosevelt declared a national
emergency but my manager advised
me to wait for a chance to win a.
world boxing title and that's Just
what l did.
Now my boxing career can wait.
Service comes first, of course but
I will say that my title will go on
the line whenever my new naval
duties permit"
Cochrane will become a boat
swain's mate, first class, as soon
as he takes his physical examina-
ton and will be stationed at Nor
iolk, Va, naval base at $84 month.
He has tennis elbow" resulting
from an injury received in soft
ball game, but he thinks he'll be
accepted because Tunney had the
same sort of elbow and saw service
in the first world war
Tunney, now lieutenant COM
mander, praised the red-headed
pugilist.
1 wish all young men in Ameri-
ca were like this lad," he said. He
has one of the finest spiritual out
LOOKS on life I've encountered in
some time. He's also one of the
most articulate boxers I've ever
talked to. I'm sure he'll be a credit
to the navy
Among the other boxers in the
navy and assisting in Tunney's
physical program are Fred Apostol,
former middleweight champion;
George Abrams, three time con-
queror of Billy Soose, current mid
