CHANT-It appears that
group of Newark baseball fans
gave Rookie Oris Hockett, the
Indians earnest rightfielder, a
new lease on hitting when they
were in Cleveland two weeks ago.
Every time Hockett would come
to the plate our friends would
stand up and shout, "Sock-it-
Hockett." Soon the entire park was
yelling in unison that battle cry
for Oris to kiss the stitched on
ion whenever he came near the
batters' box. And Hockett did
sock it and he has been socking
the horsehide ever since. Ask the
naughty New York Yanks if
Hockett was hitting in the recent
Yankee Indian series.
SUPERMAN-Women drivers,
ugh! We had the misfortune to
meet one right in the center of
an intersection the other night
and the result was one bent fen
der for her and one for us. How
ever the one thing of interest
to you sport fans was the amaZ-
ing, miraculous leap we made
from the drivers seat to front
wheel over which the fender was
crumpled. No, the invaluable
rubber tire was not damaged. It's
the best tire we have. At some
places you can actually see the
tread. Well bet Jesse Owens
would have turned green with en-
Wy if he could have seen our leap.
We might be a reporter, but our
name is not Clark Kent.
RENAISSANCE-Three cheers
for the Detroit Tigers and the
Cleveland Indians, 1t was these
two teams that beat the World
Champion New York Yankees
six out of eight games and gave
them a losing streak of five
straight games. Yes, the Yanks
can be beaten and if the rest Of
the American league clubs will
throw their best pitchers against
the Bronx Bombers the Junior
circuit can once again be the
league it was before the Yankees
became dominate.
JIGSAW-Well, it is a long
time until football and basketball
seasons at Newark Hi, but we
can't help but wonder how the
transportation problem will be
worked out. Will Newark high
and other schools be able to char
ter buses Athletics play an
important part in our nations
keep Fit" plans during this
time of war. However, the U. S.
government needs oil, gas and
rubber for its war effort. If the
high school does find way to
transport the athletes to other
COL. cities how about you and
I, Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Phan? We
probably won't be able to follow
our two high school athletic
teams around the state as we did
last year Alas and alack.
PARADISE-This reporter (?)
won't be around (Oh, you lucky
people) next week to write this
column as we are going far
away from this upset world. We
are going where they say there
is plenty of trout and lakes. They
say the swimming is fine. They
say you can relax all you wish.
They don't have to say anymore.

In his speech to the National

He suggested the new chairman
name a special committee to go into

Spangler Sympathetic.
ChairmancSpangler expressed en-
tire sympathy with the idea that
contributions be obtained from a
much larger number of the rank

men in the past have taken the
same position.
Somehow, it has not worked, and
the principal reliance has been upon
men and women of wealth-some

favors after the campaign was over.
That has been true with the Demo-

will be found now. However, Mr..

years in the Navy in one night"
And SO it we'll might have seemed,
for this sailor was hit by large
fragment from the 14-inch shell of
Jap battleship's biggest guns. The
fragment bounced off the side OF
the destroyer and struck the sail
or's helmet with terrific force.
1t drove HIM fiat to the deck. It
crushed but did not quite penetrate
the helmet.
Floating in his lifejacket on the
dark water after abandoning the
destroyer, another sailor saw a
battleship bearing down. He tried
to swim quickly out of the path
but discovered it was useless, took
deep breath, held his nose and
let fate attend to the rest.
The bow Of the battleship just
missed him and he was buffeted
llong the vessels side, then into
the churning wake, rolled over and
over by the drive of the powerful
propellers. At last he felt he could
hold his breath no longer. At that
instant he was catapulted to the
surface, clear of the ship.
Gunner's Mate David Lamerand
of Milwaukee saw an explosion
aboard his destroyer lift a big gun
from its platform and deposit it
below deck. Lamerand was knocked d
from the platform. but was unin-
jured except for minor burns.
Later, on order to abandon ship
Lamerand jumped overheard, barely
missing pool of burning oil He

Pharmacists Mate Archie Strunk
Of Sioux City, Iowa, was in the for
ward galley removing shrapnel from
sailors leg when the ship began
shaking and seemed to be falling
apart"
Abandoning ship, Strunk hit out
rapidly because it looked as if the
destroyer was going to roll over ON
him. He swan 20 minutes before
he saw several shipmates and joined
them. Then the group found itself
amid a cluster of big ships and was
almost run down.
They saw one ship explode and
sink not far from them. They heard
many men shouting and moaning
and they tried to keep together SO
they could help the injured more

One sailor, in abandoning ship
found his foot caught in a liferaft
rope attached to the destroyer. AS
the vessel went down, he was

There he unbuckled and opened his
knife and cut the rope. He popped
