MAJOR B. B. LEAGUES IN
 ACTION NOW
Season for 1942, Probably Last During Duration,
 Gets Start
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS)

The great American game, base ball, gets underway in the Major Leagues today. This may be the last Major League season for the duration.
 Looking at the American League first it is hard to conceive how any person can name anyone but the Yankees as the probable win nerS.
 The rest of the league, which has felt the effect of Uncle Sam uel's call to the colors much more than the National, is collection of poorly balanced outfits that should finish just about in the same order as they did last season.
 Tanks Face Senators
 The champion Yankees will open against Washington in Washington while the Red Sox will entertain the As; the White Sox will be hosts to the Browns and Cleveland will visit Detroit.
 In the National, the opening pairings will find the Dodgers vis- iting their arch-rivals the Giants while the Cubs meet the Cards in St.L ouis, Boston visits the Phillies and the Pirates travel to Cincin- natl
 Everyone who has an interest in baseball has an opinion on the National race. Opinion is about evenly divided. Half the fans, ex- perts and geniuses say the Dodgers will repeat in race that will not be decided until the final week, and half say St. Louis will cop the flag this time.
 Certainly the Cards will be bet ter than they were a year ago. They have pitching staff of White, Pollett, Warneke, Cooper and Gumbert that makes the Buns look like a high school outfit by comparison.
 The Buns, as the Dodgers are called, have the best balanced team in the league, plen- ty of power but, from this corner, may not get the stratosphere pitch ing that they received last year.

 Luxury items will be used to raise the money needed to fight the war. The new budget Wood pre- scented to the House of Commons also proposed higher taxes on wines, tobacco and entertainment, but in- dicated that the basic income tax rate, already 50 percent, would not be increased.

questioned by the Jap commander refused to talk, Don Skuse took up the role of fifth columnist, dis carded his Rotary Club badge and slapped in its place badge with the Rising Sun on it. He whispered the necessary information in the ear of the Jap commander.
 Metcalf was sentenced to be shot. Dr. Freeburger was also sent before the firing squad. Mayor Lucas was shot on the spot.
 After brief explanation to the startled Rotarians that the city now was in possession of the Jap anese forces, the Jap commander proceeded to pass sentences on every person present who had the misfortune of being a good Am erican citizen. Some were shot, others were sentenced to hard labor
 It was a farce, but a very ef- fective farce. When it was over, most Rotarians realized that 1t could have happened here, that if Juneau had been Manila, it would have happened here already

moves in London is that the United Nations have suffered a diplomatic defeat in the attempt to sway France away from collabora tion with Germany. Both Vichy gov ernment decisions fitted in with the Nazi scheme and the feeling is manifest in high diplomatic quarters in London that much stronger measures against Vichv would be the only answer, probably including a tighter blockade and giving new strength to Gen. De- Gaulle's Free French forces.
 Some sources predicted that with both Darlan and Laval in the French Cabinet, Germany stands 6 better chance than ever of getting the French fleet for Axis operations against Britain.

Il IL through the ninth inning Lynn kept
~ saying, Brick, it's going to rain cats
q - and dogs before the games over! -
Brick, my hat!- Your suitw She felt
fercely protective toward that beautiful,
white, spanking new, Chief Petty Officers
uniform. "Are we going to sit here and get
simply soaked"
Brick patted her hand absent -mindedly,
eyes on the game. Take it easy, Pet. It's
not going to rain for long time yet" He
didn't even squint up at the clouds as every
one else was doing Look - three men on
base and Slugger Hathcoat coming up to
bat!'
Lynn looked obediently at Slugger, but
her minds eye chung stubbornly to Brick
and his easy nonchalance. 1t wasn't so
much that she minded getting rained on;
it was the principle of the thing 1t had been
demonstrated on numerous occasions since
Lynn met him last year, when he was serv-
ing as recruiting officer here in her home
IOWll, IlldI Ills lllC was lu1CN NY "lS1llul
thinking and calm and cheerful confidence
in everybody and everything. He needed
someone to look after him when this war
was over, and Lynn was more than willing
to take over the job; but she did wish he
wouldn't get mad and tighten up inside
every time she said told YOU so.
1E last time she'd said it - the third
day of this probably -last-furlough -
his brown eyes had held smoldering re-
sentiment: "An right So I'm wrong seven
eighths of the time. So maybe you won't
like being married to dumb guy like me-"
But Brick was sweet. and not really
dumb. Just easygoing, except when his
pride was hurt. Maybe he'd learn, after
while, that people weren't as full of good
intentions as he thought, and that clouds
sometimes held genuine threat of rain
over stadium packed with people. In the
meantime she'd have to go right on point
ing out his mistakes.
A terrific clap of thunder rolled ominously
over their heads Lynn tugged insistently
at Bricks sleeve Everybody that's got
any sense" she told him, is leaving. We
ought to get out of here before the traffic
jam gets too thick"
''Boo-oo-oo!' Brick jumped up, waved
his arms, and yelled wildly through his
cupped hands as man hit the ball straight
into the hands of an outhelder. The pop
bottles started flying 80. and everything
happened exactly as Lynn had said it
would. The rain came down in big heavy
drops, then in binding sheets. They would
have had plenty of time to make it to the
security of the car if Brick had listened to
her. But no! Here they we're, fighting their
way through thousands of people in fran
tic dash for the parking lot.
Evening star., 1942-11-08

Cars crawled slowly, with their lights on,
and wild honking of horns mingled with
the noise of the beating rain and the deep
noted thunder overhead. Before they could
find their car they were soaked to the skin,
and the traffic was snarled up tighter than
mob of indignant fans around an umpire
Brick showed Lynn under the doubtful
shelter of small and leaky shed, where
dozens of other very wet people were hud-
died together. wait here till come after
you" he yelled into her ear. The rain hid
him before he'd gone ten yards.
Lynn took off her straw hat and looked
at it sadly. 1t had cost $5.98, and she'd
bought it especially for Bricks furlough.
A ten-cent tag on it would now be sheer
optimism. One of her gloves was missing,
and her hair hung in limp corkscrews about
her shoulders. Her dress, which had been
snug size fourteen, had stretched to COM
plete shapelessness.
good-looking blonde girl standing elbow
to elbow with Lynn said, laughing: "You
can't tell how they'll act when they get wet.
Look at minev'
LYNN looked, and saw shapely curves
outlined by tightly clinging dress which
ended well above very neat pair of knees.
The other girls hair curled in becoming
ringlets close to her head.
II wanted to go home before the game
was over" Lynn told her grimly, "but my
boy friend said Oh no, it's not going to rain!''
The other girl looked at her carefully,
faint amusement turning up the corners of
her luscious mouth. so now you're going
to make him admit he was wrong?"
Lynn's eyes snapped. ''You bet amv'
