and asked my friend where she ~

Who was the driver of the truck? A heed

She had made her decision.
When asked why she was driving the truck,

That must be the one great goal Of the newly

As director of the Women's Army Auxiliary
Corps, feel as though have had the privi-
lege of first glimpse into the minds and
hearts of American women. The first glimpse
came last May when 10000 women swamped
the recruiting Offices to apply for service in

I think can say what American women are
thinking. Each in her humble way is trying

on their application blanks, they expressed
that spirit Of service:

isn't war for soldiers alone, or even men
alone"
A modern disciple Of Madame Curie said,
"As woman Of America, have enjoyed the
peace and freedom to pursue my own career.
No sacrifice is too great to preserve that free
dom for this and for future generations"
With selfess simplicity, one applicant
summed it up as follows: There are patriotic
reasons why desire to be in the Corps. But
they are no different from those of other

WE ARE all getting highly
excited about the epidemic of
dden war-marriages that
seems TO be sweeping the coun-
try. Even the government, so
/ hear. is trying 10 stem the
rush into foolish unions.
In all the discussion for and
against (mostly against) here's
one voice that is perfectly neu-
trail. Here are some of the best
antiargufnents. with all of which
l heartily agree:
DON'T LET brass buttons
hypnotic you. and rush into
marriage with some one you
have known a week, because he
dances divinely. OF course not
but you can do that in peace
time, too. Lots of silly girls do.
Don't get stage-fright and
grab any old husband, for fear
there will be a husband-short-
age after the war.
Don't parachute into mar
riage. because you think you
can easily get a divorce if you
don't like it.

was staged at Pimlico, Md, on Ne. vember l, 1888.
 Woolf amazed the racing frater. nifty that day as 5eabiscuit set the pace and out-ran the Admiral for three quarters of the distance. The Admiral drew on even terms around the final turn, but shrewd Woolf- despite the pace = had been hold- ing something in reserve, and let the Biscuit out = let him "moider" the opposition in the stretch and finish a four lengths winner over the very tired Admiral.
 Seabiscuit set track record ab Pimlico of ::56 3-5 for the mile and 316 that day = a record that still stands. But it isn't likely that either Whirlaway or Alsab will set any records tomorrow at Nara. gansett, because both are expected to run off the pace in the early going. Most experts believe that the winner will be clocked in three or more seconds off the course record, which might make for a very drah race - except for the stretch com- petition. However, should Woolf decide to break Wirly fast and set a hot pace, 1t may be a different story.
 Alsab will be ridden by Carroll Herman, an improving young jockey who was the leading rider at the recent Suffolk Downs meeting. Bier man is expected to let Woolf make his moves and then counter with Alsah's speed in the stretch.
 This match race = like most com- petitions of its kind - resulted from cancellations of other meetings. On Labor Day at Washington Park the two were slated to meet, but Whirl- away suffered an eye injury in the East and trainer Ben Jones decided not to ship him west. Then they were slated to meet in the $25, 1000 Narragansett Special September 12, but Alsab was delayed in arriving from the midwest, and Trainer Sarge Swenke decided to withdraw him from the Special, which Whirl- away won with comparative ease.
 Whereupon President James E Dooley of the Narragansett Racing Association cooked up tomorrow's match race and offered a purse of $25 900. winner take all. He also pledged that the tracks proceeds of the mutuels would go to Army and Navy relief.
 So now. it's up to Jockey woolf.

 New York, September 18. - (UP) = The success or failure of tomor- rows match race between Alsab and Whirlaway at NarraganSett Park, R. l., may depend upon the decis- iors of Jockey Georgia Woolf, as he guides Whirly around the course.
 The decisions of Wcolf apparently are all-important in this test be- cause it is perhaps the most unusual meeting in match-race history. The race brings together two great horses who like to run off the pace - who like to come from far be- hind and eat up the good earth in the stretch. They are the most re- nowned stretch runners of their day, and some experts consider Whirla- way the greatest stretch runner of all time.
 Woolf "the iceman" may elect to send Whirlaway off in front and set the pace, as he did in the turf's last great match race, when he shot Seabiscuit from the barrier like bullet and maintained such a killing pace in the early stages that he virtually killed War Admiral in the stretch. That contest, easily the most thrilling of the century,

RETURN BATTLE SHOULD BE HOT;
 FALCO TO SHOW
Winner of Main GO to Meet FiOrelIo; Lyons-Conk-
 lin Open

Headlining tonight's boxing card at Randolph Cloves Stadium is a 10-round return bout between h. dian Gomez, Cuban middleweight champion, and Larney Moore, hard hitting Valley Stream, l.. l., negro.
 Moore and Gomez battled to 8 draw in gruelling contest here two weeks ago, with neither fighter hav- ing a decisive edge although both gave and took enough punishment to satisfy the most exacting fan.
 Moore, who all but upset Eddie Dolan here early in the current out door season, is confident that he can hit Gomez with enough of his powerful left hooks to get the de- cision in no uncertain terms to- night. Gomez will be out for kayo.
 The two crowd pleasers will be battling for two lucrative shots after tonight, one with Joe Basora in Madison Square Garden in two weeks, and another with Jerry Ff- orello in the local ring in the near future.
 Manuel Rosa, Baltimore 14T- pounder who is touted by local fans who have seen him in action as real club fighter, will make his first Connecticut start in the eight round semi-final against Tony Fs.lco, Middletown welterweight.
 Fine Record
 Falco has lost only to Billy Mur- ray in 28 pro bouts and Monday night trounced Leo Dulmaine in a feature bout at the Valley Arena in Holyoke. Tony is unusually clever for youngster and hits hard, too.
 Andy Holland, New York mid and Dick Fuller of Nor walk are slated to clash over the. six round distance while pair of four rounders will complete the card.
 Jack Lyons, Bridgeport's sensa- tional amateur middleweight, will make his first pro appearance in one four against Billy Conklin of New Haven while the second four will match Wilfe Shanks, Montreal welter prospect, with Al Renick, of Hartford.

Goss, cousins under the skin, whose ability in the current 33rd annual club championship at the Country Club of Waterbury, from tee, fairway and on the greens has been good enough to land both in the semi-finals today, with one of them sure to compete for the cham pionship tomorrow.
 Bill Goss, Jr., medalist of the tournament with ", won his secod match play event yesterday, 2 and over F. R. Kellogg; as John B.. GoSs eliminated Paul Monroe, the bus banker, up. The latter sur- prised the field on Wednesday with 3 and l win over George B. Horan former club champion, and gave a good account of himself yesterday right to the 17th hole where he used the wrong club, lost the hole and a chance to square the match, Goss being 1 up.
 Four Left
 However, lest you get the idea, 1t will be an all- -Scovill finale or tournament, there are a couple of other lads left in the semi finals, either of which is capable of win ming the title, especially since they finished one-two in the Merriman Memorial Trophy tourney, decided only last Saturday. Both of them won yesterday, Ned Farley and 2 over Dr. Ken Blanchard; and George SWentor over T. P. Kellogg 5 and 4.
 Swentor and Bill Goss may make the finals, or it could be Farley and John B. Goss, but somebody has a Goss to beat for the title, stand traps, stymies or fuor putt greens notwithstanding.
 Mexican StandOff
 In third flight duel yesterday, Mike Dempsey and E. J. Frey went 9 holes to a Mexican standoff by lantern-l light. and for the last five holes they were as even as car- penter's level, two peas in pod or six of one and half dozen of the other. Dr. Ken Blanchard needed shot of novocaine after the first nine, when he led Ned Farley 2 up, didn't have the novo so he couldn't stand the pressure, finally losing out, and 2.

 All profit from the Handicapper's Dream Race, which has aroused more comment than any match since Seabiscuit trimmed War Ad- m1ral in their 1888 collision at Pim- lico, will be donated by Narragan- sett officials to the Army Navy Re- lief Funds. The track already has given the twin funds nearly $50 900.
 Four-year-old Whirly and dough- ty three year-old pride of Al Sa- bath seemed in top shape as they indulged in yesterdays workouts. The Bush-tailed Calumet beauty breezed seven furlongs in 1:29 2-5 while Alsab merely logged around the track.

Manufac- turing, behind five hit pitching by Jessie Tacobs were IT to winners, and, according to the scorekeeper, who like George Washington never told 8 lie, the winners got IT runs on IT hits off the Scovill ace, Pat Petrauskas. In other words, the W-M girls trumped the Scovill ace with 8 batting barrage that could be heard in Waterville, though the zane was played at Hamilton Park. Scovill defeated their conquerors 12 to 8 in the second game, but lost the first contest to IT and last night to IT, making one, seven their unlucky numbers.

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. IS. (UP)- The Syracuse chiefs reelected into the finals of the International League playoffs last night by de- feating the Montreal Royals, 7-2, behind the four-hit pitching of 19- year-old Ewell Blackwell. It was Blackwell's fifth straight victory and his second playoff win.
 Syracuse will face the Giants at Jersey City tomorrow and Sunday and return here Monday and Tues day to determine the winner of the Governors Cup.
 The chiefs registered three runs in the first inning before starting Pitcher Ed Albosta could retire a man. They put three more across in the third and one in the fifth. Goody Rosen, Ed Smokes and Hank Sauer garnered pair of hits apiece for the chiefs.
 The Royals went scoreless until the sixth when Cliff Dapper scored on an error. Les Burge came across for the visitors in the seventh when the Chiefs made another display.
