London Learns How 10
 Handle BIitz Repairs;
 Squads Are Speeded Up

and ceilings restored. Extended re- pairs are underway in some bor- oughs.
 Repair has been supervised by the Ministry of Works, which has 5000 contractors available in tho London area alone, and is seeking 1000 more; the Ministry of Health, and the director of emergency re- pairs for each borough.
 Here is what will happen after London bombing raid:
 Surveyors in each borough will be sent out to assess damage and inform the director of emergency repairs. He immediately assigns builders, laborers and equipment, and calls on the Ministry of Works for materials. The system is similar to that .of last year but time lags are believed cut.
 The Ministry also has an emer- gency squad of 5000 specialists to be rushed to any section of the country where raid damage is extensive.
 Shelters Redesigned
 The Ministry of Health has been busy during the summer re- storing air raid shelters. Regional Commissioner Charles Kay says that thousands of London shelters unfit because of drainage or struc- tural defects, have been rebuilt and that the work is continuing.
 London now has 27,000 shelters which can provide for 4,772,00O persons in addition to millions of others who seek protection in the subways.
 Workers homes damaged in raids receive first priority for repairs; next, any war goods factories which might have been damaged, and then public office buildings.

LONDON, oct 4. = Preparing for great intensification of air raids during fall and winter months, the British Ministry ot Works has formed a mobile or ganization which intends to be repairing damage to homes with in 10 minutes after completion of blitzes to come.
 During the summer raid lull 80.000 workers have repaired 95 percent of the damaged houses in the London area which were re- pairable. Costs were borne by the 28 London boroughs.
 Almost no repairs have been made to London's historic build ings, except for minor work on roofs and windows. Great holes still gape.
 Wrecked Buildings Removed | No figures are available on re- pair of private or public business properties, but informed sources say thousands of laborers have been on that job for months. h London's huge business area, tenn porary repairs have been made to hundreds of damaged business buildings, which again are filled with workers. Other structures too badly damaged have been torn down.
 Other crews have been repair ing utilities, city streets, side walks, and the Ministry says "the greater part of that task is com pleted" No London street is closed now because of bomb dam age.
 The Ministry adds that 72,0OO damaged houses were made habit : able again in one recent week. The total included 10000 in the provinces and 32,000 in London which suffered twice as much damage in air raids as the rest of Britain combined"
 5000 Contractors Available
 Those repairs were of the first aid' class-holes in roofs covered. blownout windows covered with waterproof fabric, doors rehung

Hurting Alone to Tell
Bosox Story This Year
BY JOHN LARDNER.

SARASOTA, Fla, March 25 ma.
NAD.-A couple of random philoso-
pliers, one of them called Lardner or
Larkin or some such name, picked
the Boston Red Sox to win the
American League pennant last year.
It's nice to know that everybody
has forgotten about that. The trou-
BILE is, everybody has forgotten about
the Red SoX, too. I haven't met a
soul on this tepid peninsula who
knows that Boston is in the race for
194l. Joseph Cronin and his clouting
crew are training had, but no one
seems to be sure just why.
Memory, to coin phrase is short.
Last season the Red Sox led the
league for 81 days. Not till the last
two weeks of the season did they
drop out of the pennant chase. And
this year as last. Maybe little bet
ter.
Well the new state of affairs
suits Mr.. Cronin. With Cleveland,
New York, Detroit and Chicago
rated above his own team by many
critics, Joseph is free from pressure.
So are his boys UntaXed and un-
noticed. he figures they now will
begin to give out the baseball they
are capable of.

Before going any farther. your

ters for his teams failures. Here
you hear 1t said that Joe doesn't
harmonic with certain players.
There you hear it muttered that his
pitchers are better than they seem
to be under Cronin management.
These theories are outside the

is in complete command of the team,
and the team will do its winning or

is whether 1t will lose under Cronin,
or win.
-Four pitchers Of some reputation,
Bagby, Heving, Ostermueller and
Galehouse, we're discarded after the
1910 season. This action seems
strange in view of the fact that lack
of pitching cost the SoX the pen
nant last year.
Mr.. Cronin. who dictates all Bos-
ton deals, comes readily to his own
defense.

Old Timers Are Around
To Stabilize Youths

Mickey Harris is a brash south
paw with scorching speed. He won
a few games for the SoX last spring
and then was sent to Scranton for
more seasoning Herbert Hash is
a right-hander from Minneap polls, a
wonder pitcher in Double-A, who
looked good and bad by turns with
Boston last year. Rich is another
minor league wonder, with two years
of arm trouble behind him. Les
Fleming was one of the best in the
Pacific Coast League in 1910. Earl
johnson, a left-hander, came up to
Boston at the close Of last season
and straightaway won six games in
the American League while losing
two.
Stabilizing these youths will be
old Nose Grove, Jack Wilson, Emer-
son Dickman and Mike Ryba, the
one-n1an team.
Pitching is the point and pith of
the problem and pitching alone will
tell the story of the Red Sox in
1941.

Rockies Now at Hand
Potentially Good

"1f I'm going to improve the
pitching on this club" he says. 1T
won't be with pitchers like those.
Bagby is the only youngster among
them. and Bagby didn't produce for
us. In trading him, I got Frank
Pvtlak. Which do you think is
more valuable to the club, Pytlak
or Bagby? Everybody talks about
our pitching troubles and forgets
about our weakness In catching. Now
we've got the best catcher in the
league
"All the pitchers on our club who
potentially are good-vho really can
deliver and get us up there-still
are with us. Fellows like Harris,
Rich, Hash, Fleming and Earl john
son are going to be good pitchers,
and don't let anybody tell you diff
ferent. Some of them are good
pitchers now"
We will identify these characters,
IN case you have forgotten about
them, which is all too likely.

Eagles Facing GuNs
Tonight in Hockey
Game for What!
Series for Meaningless
Title to Continue at
Riverside Stadium

Washington Eagles quest for
camoflaged honors will be renewed
tonight at Riverside Stadium when
they tangle with the Atlantic City
Sea Gulls in continuation of the
superfluous United States Amateur
Hockey Association championship
series.
The contest also will serve as the
next to the last step in completing
the Eagles Eastern League home
schedule. in addition to providing
the setting for presentation of
huge pennant symbolic of Eastern
League supremacy.
President Tom Lockhart of the
Eastern League will present the
banner to Coach Redvers Mackenzie
and the Eagles will receive individual
awards. Women and children at
tending the match will be presented
Junior hockey sticks.
The Eagles and Sea Gulls seem to
be the chief contenders for what has
been stamped the United States
championship. Only five teams, all
members OF the Eastern League, are
competing, Baltimore having pre-
ferred to drop out of the struggle
when the schedule wasn't con-
structed to suit the Orioles.
Atlantic City is the only Eastern
League team to twice trounce the
Eagles on their own ice this season
and remains the only outfit with
possibility of gaining a series edge
over Washington. In games thus
far the Eagles have won five, lost
four and tied two.
Norm Burns, the Eagles league
leading scorer, and Heck Pozzo, who
was trailing him by one point when
statistics last were released, will con-
tinue their individual duel and it
will delight Burns if he can fatten
his goal production against the Sea
Gulls, who released him last season.
