DETROIT, Jan. 3-(R)-Fans

come reconcileG today to the
fact that they probably will have
to get along without Hank

Greenberg, recently discharg-

ruling which permitted men
over % years to return to civil

York that he haG returned to
khaki via enlistment.

But Id like to retire un-
feated,' continue Louis, latter
giving everybody around a

"I'll hang 'em up at the first
sign that I'm slipping. Id like
to retire undefeated while in
the Army"
Louis expects to be indicted
into the Army at any time.
ARMY life will do him
good" asserts Handler Black
burn. And he'd like to be toss
ed right in among them Japs in
the Philippines. For one thing,
he won't do as much intensive
boxing training as he has done
in order to keep his fighting
dates as a civilian.
The Louis camp is confident
that unless Louis is included
in an expeditionaiy force, he
will be given furloughs to fight
with his fists. No service fund
will have to ask twice for his
championship services. He ex-
presses his Willingness to con-
tinue fighting for nothing if it
will help his country.
CROSBY AND Mel ARNIN
Louis is vastly more concern
cd about the war and golf than
he is about the Buddy Baers,
COINS and Franklins.
Though he has been playing
for no more than three years,
he has a "a to his credit.
He played with Bing Crosby
and Jimmy McLarnin while in
Los Angeles. CroSb.' had a
"a, McLarnin a 76, and Louis is
still kicking himself for taking
a 7 and on the last two holes
to go 5 above par for an 81.
His progress in golf demon
strates that Louis can play well
any game he puts his mind on.
Meanwhile, Joe Louis turns
into 1912 ready for anyone
and any kind of fighting.

Public Apothy Is
Big Foetor Here;
Ronse Closed Down

Despite the fact that the
United States is at war and with
every sinew strainging for VIC
tory, one agency is Mount Glenn
ems which could be doing much
towards building civilian de-
tense is about to fold up be-
cause of a lack of funds, il
was learned today.
The Bath City Pistol and Rifle
Club, which has been in exist
ence only about :. year, has I en-
forced to give up the lease on
its range and may disband. This
despite the fact that the monthly
rental is only $l3.
CIVILIAN DEFENSE ANGLE
Other cities throughout the
country are even now increas-
ing their facilities for target
practise, both in the interests of
civilian defense and for army
training, but at this vital time,
public apath. in Mount Glenn
ems seems ready to doom such
ideas here to failure.
A number of high schools
throughout the country have in
stituted rifle shooting as an in
ter-scholastic sport during the
past year-including Royal Oak,
a member of the Border Cities
League along with Mount Glenn
ems high. In the same city, the
recreation department realizing
the extent Of the present emer-
gency is sponsoring an adult pro-
gram which has met with ire
mendous success. There, the
range is open to the public
every evening during the week
from the hours of until 10
o'clock.
MAY SEEK ANOTHER
RANGE
The local pistol club may seek
another range, though the pres
ent one, which could accomo-
date eight shooters at once over
the standard, 50-foot range, has
been satisfactory. 1t is hoped
that a program may be worked
out with the police and sheriff's
department for a range, cord
ing to Russell COPELAND, Sec
re@ary- treasurer of the organiza-
ton.
The Michigan Rifle and Pistol
Association has urged all rifle
and pistol clubs in the state to
offer their facilities for training
individuals on rifle marksman-
ship and the proper handling
of firearms, with special en-
phasis on persons of high school
and junior college age. The To-
cal club was ready to cooperate
in this program until lack Of
funds forced its abandonment.
COMMUNITY INTEREST
In number of cities, Ameri-
can Legion posts, the Y. M. G. A.
and other community and serv-
ice organizations have taken an
active interest in a rifle-train-
ing program, but as yet there
have been no steps in that di-
rection in Mount Clemens.
Whether or not the future
will see revival of the club
and the public interest which
should be necessary adjunct
in these perilous times, is
question none of the local Off
Gals are able to answer. A
number of public-minded citi-
zens, however, have protested
the range-padlocking and a move
may be forthcoming to bring
the club to life soon.

 In the distance could see an- other of our cruisers tangling with the Japanese. Our nearby trans ports were not threatened at any time because the fleet protected them. but they were lit up by flares which enemy planes dropped.
 Shells whistled through our super structure. Debris and sllrapnel fragments fell over the bridge Everything seemed to be- flying. scrambled to the side of the ship and from there I saw a fire amid ships. The cracking of the fire was clearly audible. But our guns were going.
 An officer appeared to be kneeling on the bridge. Apparently he could not keep his balance as the ship trembled. I grabbed him and asked: l:
 ''Is that you, Mac.?"
 'No, this is Ray" he replied. I'm all right"
 I went back into shack on the bridge in order to get life jacket. There were about five men in the room. I saw one man with whom I had played pinochle the night be- fore.
 This looks like it" he said.
 I had a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. Later this man did not remember talking to me. I told him we had better get down our life jackets and I noticed we were all pretty excited. A man at my elbow said "OhP' and clutched his back. He slipped down to the deck and we made him comfortable. Everyone else was all right.
 Light. daky debris burned the back of my neck. Our lights came on and then went of again. There was a constant bedlam. A shell ripped through the room, making a jagged hole in the bulkhead. We crawled out through the still warm opening.
 The center of the ship was blaz- ing and we had lost some speed. We squeezed down a ladder to the deck below. We could see the star shells and the splasheS where shells were falling short. Columns of blue wa- ter rose in great geysers. The men were swearing but calm.
 One man was spraying water on
