ISLAND, Feb. 2-(Australian Asso-
ciated Press to AP.-The first So
hours after the blowing up of the
Johore singapore causeway passed
In . manner strangely contrasting
to the previous eight weeks in Ma
laya.
All yesterday our troops gazed
over the narrow stretch Of water
dividing this island from the main
land, but could see little sign Of life
in Johore Bahru or along the roads
80 familiar to them.
What were identified Is japanese
cars were seen late yesterday and
there were . few more today.
Crossroads Smelling.
Our gunners have been fairly
busy shelling the main crossroads
on the other shore, but apart from
that there has been no military
activity against the enemy.
The troops looked like new men
after q good nights sleep and a
change of clothes This amazingly
quick recovery from fatigue was
possible only for men in the fittest
condition.
Those who came in first already
have been busily at work supervising
civilian evacuation Of prohibited
areas and exploring remoter areas
Of the island.
Melancholy Sight.
Even on Singapore Island, ex-
tremes of tropical growth exist
rubber plantations merging into
jungle without warning and jungle
country, In turn, merging into
thick mangrove ct many points
The causeway today presented q
melancholy sight Of destruction by
blasting. Concrete boulders, railway
tracks and piping lay in heaps about
yawning gaps In the span.

moliShed.

Cincinnati'S Mccormick Was
 Poison To Pitchers In 1941

ne struck out only once.
 Pitching's hall of fame has always been just around the corner for Blanton. Three times in his semi pro days he hurled no-hitters down in the Texas-Oklahoma belt. In 1883 he held Joplin hitless in the Western league. In the majors the Golden Circle has eluded him only by the narroWest of margins on sev- eral occasions.
 His mound career is studded with gems. He set a Western League record of 21 strikeouts and an East ern League mark of 20, both in reg ulatlon nine-inning games. Small hit mound wins abound on his rec ord sheets but never a major league no-hitter.
 Back i'll 1885 when he was earned run champion of the league in his freshman year with the Pirates, a single by Spud Davis in the second inning was the only hit recorded as Cy blanked the World Champion St Louis Cardinals. In the spring of 37, he pitched a nine-inning, no-hit game against a Major League clut but it did not count. The club was Cleveland and the game a pre-sea- son exhibition in New Orleans.
 The red headed Oklahoman was red-hot again last year after some sorry seasons because of arm trouble Two of his wins for the Phils were over the Pirates, one a brilliant, 2-( shutout.

 KID NIGHT
State Welter Title 10 Win= ner of Match Proposed
 Five Years Ago
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

Tonigh is the night, New Haven Arena is the place, and Irish Eddie Dolan of Waterbury is the boy, who, at 27 years of age, finally comes faced with chance to get himself into the important money. All he has to do is to score an impressive win over Louis Kid Cocoa, a Puerto Rican negro, who went to Florida then came north several years ago, when former Senator Harry Durant decided he was likely prospect.
 Cocoa Kid remains a 2 to 1 fav- orite over Dolan in New Haven though Waterbury wagerers who like Dolan's chances were having difficulty actually getting that price for their money.
 Ready to Go
 Dolan, always in fine shape physically, has been sharpening up his punching power at New York gym, and has left nothing undone to be ready for his most important bout in years. Cocoa Kid has licked Holman Williams of Detroit, a stable mate of Joe Louis, heavyweight champion, while Dolan has always had trouble with Williams, but polan has defeated Jimmy Leto, who stopped Cocoa Kid in three rounds no longer than last Septem- Der.
 From any angle, the Dolan-Cocoa kid battle figures to be honey" with half of Waterbury on hand 10 see what happens. The Cocoa Kid has defeated some good boys in Baltimore and that, plus his hitting ability and good boxing has made his 2-1 favorite though Dolan's class easily could ho his opponent oil for 2 rounds, and then again Edward may surprise all hands With some punching power of his own that most people do not be- iieVe he possesses, though the writer has noticed a sharp improvement i'll Eddie's hitting ability during the past year.
 And in case you are interested, III the New Haven angle on the bout, here 'tis:
 New Haven, Jan. 14-Cocoa Kid. New Haven Puerto Rican, will climb through the ropes in the Arena tonight 2 to favorite over Irish Eddie Dolan, Waterbury southpaw, .'or their l2-round state WelterWeight title fight. The first bout will enter the ring at 8:3O.
 Five Years
 But, Waterbury rooters will be here in goodly numbers to root their favorite on. and there are those in New Haven who also like the classy southpaw from the Brass City. This is a match which was ilve years in the making and neither ilghter wants to lose out, as matches here with Mike Kaplan and Holman Williams are in the offing for Feb ruary.
 Johnny Compo, local feather weight, will box Willie Roach, Will mlngton, Del, in the semi-final of eight rounds.
 A special six will show Tony Falco, Middletown's welterweipht prospect, against Leo Sawicki of Worcester.
 Bobby O'Brien, Hartford, meets Joey Wasnick, local featherweight in one four, and Sonny Horne, Niles, O., will swap punches with Walter Mundy, Willimantic welter- weight, in another.

 New York, Jan. 14-(UP)-Quite a few pertinent facts about big league baseball players are doomed to obscurity because they are hidden behind a single line of figures in the averages, but today the National League Service Bureau forwarded belated cheers for Frank Mccormick of Cincinnati and Cy Blanton of Philadelphia.
 Mccormick was the toughest bat ter in the loop to strike out in 1941 The pitchers of seven other National League clubs managed to fan the Reds first baseman only 13 times in the entire l94l season, an average of once every 50.2 trips to the plate.
 Frank did not do any ducking either. Cincinnati played l54 games and so did Mccormick. He has not missed D game since he took over the Reds first base job on opening day in 1888. Last July 23 he was 'beaned' in g. night game at Crosley Field but all it meant was rest in the hospital until time to take the field for the next game.
 The Mccormick string of 616 con- secutiye games is the longest current endurance record in his league, al- though Frank cannot reach Gus Suhr's all-time league record of 82G until next midsummer. AS the leagues most valuable player" o1 1940, Mccormick made his endur- ance record mean more than a mere feat of stamina.
 Taking the lead among the hard to-fan performers last year, McCor- mick had to vault over Johnny Coo ney, Arky Vaughan, Mickey Owen Ernie Lombardi and Jimmy Brown batters who rank high in that de- partment every year. Mccormick, 1T 1940 his banner year, famed 2t times, twice as often as last year, 6 rate of once every 26 times up.
 He went to bat 45 times last spring before his first strikeout of the veal was slapped on him by Truett Sew eli Of Pittsburgh in the sixth inning on April 27. Over stretch of near ly two months, July l2 to Sept. 2

East End Boys Win 28=24 Game Wilby Varsity
 Benched in 29=l4 Affair

Sacred Heart High Schools much improved basketball unit has been trying with might and main to win every game of six played this sea son, and had little success, though putting up plenty of gallant effort, but. in defeating St. Mary's Acad- emy of New Haven last night 28 to 24, the team coached by Eddie Conlan, not only tasted the sweet fruits of victory, but provided a much better bit of hoop entertain ment than did the Wilby High School outfit when, after taking a Is point beating from Crosby dropped 39 to IA decision to last place Ansonia high.
 For some reason Coach Jim Lee kept his entire "iirst' te l bsnch- ed during the final half of the game, though its efforts after the first few minutes of play was lit- tie short of p.tiful, giving con- tinued impression that it was not trying too hard to win. Which, if true, certainly justiiies the coach s handling of the squad in the final half after a 22-5 score showed against 1t after 16 minutes of play Best Game
 However, the Hearts and St, Mary's of New Haven, billed for the feature game, certainly pro- vided the best basketball as the local array got off 10 a good start, were pressed hard, but kept ahead gained a 10 point lead with four minutes to play, and then saw it cut down to four points at the final whistle as the New Haven lads finished very strong and found the hoop, though a bit too late to bridge the gap that was Wid- ened considerably by Cashman's three successive hoops ill the final quarter. The visitors scored seven points in the last few minutes which threw scare into players, coach and packers of the Sacred Hearts which played excellent bas- ketball and finally deserved to win.
 The Wilby game was 11-4 at the quarter, 22-5 at the half, 28 to before the final quarter and 39 tc IA at the finish though the losers got quick four point lead early in the game on Wallin's two hoops Some of the Wilby passing was so bad, that it looked deliberate, and if so, there ought to be some changes made, several of them, for high school p4ayers, an entire squad of them, can't be that bad, in two successive games.
 Murphy, Carmcdy and Cashman went well for the Sacred Heart array, while the St. Mary boys made good 8 of 9 three throws as the Hearts got 4 of attempts. Scores.
