Open Western
Invasion with
Win over Reds
Tiger Errors Help
Red Sox to Victory;
Browns Whip Yonks
BY JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer

The Brooklyn Dodgers are
marauding through the National
League ike a herd of steers in a
cornfield-and are proving just
as hard to corral.
They have trampled their foes
in IL out of IS games and seem
to have ratified their opponents
by the commotion of nine diff
ferent starting lineups in two
weeks and scoring first in all but
one of their contests.
Yesterday they opened their
first Western invasion with what
was expected to be bitter,
bristling duel with the Cincin-
natl Reds. WhitloW Wyatt and
Elmer Riddle, two of the stand
out pitchers of last season, were
groomed for the struggle.
BLAST REDS
But the Dodgers blasted the
Reds off their feet with six runs
in the first three innings and
won easily, 7-3 Dolph Camilli
returned to his station at first
base after five days of illness and
on his first time at bat smashed
a home run over the centerfield
fence at Crosley Field. 1t was his
third of the season and came
with one on. In the second inn
ing the Dodgers tailed three
more times and routed Riddle
and then they kept on Fostering
Joe Beggs.
Wyatt who secuted the Reds
Monday, loaded the bases in Gin
cinnati's half of the first inning
and Frank Mccormick cleared
them with a double. But just
when the Reds were deciding
they could play with Dodgers
own game, Hugh Casey took
charge and smothered them with
five-hit shutout pitching for the
next eight innings.

PEOPLE WANT ACTION

before the committee met. The

Meanwhile members Of the
War Labor board were askC5 to
explain how President Roose-
velt's wage sterilization plan
would affect pay increases ne
gotiated in war plants without
recourse TO the board.
Three board members repre-
senting labor, management and
the public respective y were
summoned before the Senate
Labor committee in closed SEES
sion today to outline methods
the group might use in bringing
about the sterilization and ad-
justment Of wages which the
President told Congress Monday
would be carried out through
the board ) machinery.
Senators Hill (D-Ala) and Bal,
R-Minn) said a serious question
had arisen as TO whether this
machinery would be effective i'm
curbing pay increases that might
be demanded by labor and
agreed to by war contractors op-
Grating on fixed fee Llses.
Hi | said there was growing
apprehension that a shortage Of
workers in some war industries
might cause contractors to agree
readily to pay increases in order
to hold their emp Dyes, especial
ly if the contract involved was
such that the Government would
absorb most or all Of the addi-
tional cost.
The President announced a
goal Of keeping wages at exist
ing scales, except where there
we're inequalities or subStand-
ards of living, in line with his
general policy of freezing prices
