in the big leagues this weekend.
But assuming that righthanded
hurlers are on the mound at the
beginning, the batting orders
tentatively will be:
AMERICAN LEAGUE
ID. DiMaggiO, Boston, rf
BOudreau, Cleveland, IS
Williams, Boston, II
j. DiMaggiO, New York, CT
MeQuinn, st. Louis,,1b
Gordon, New York, 2b
Keltner, Cleveland, 3b
Dickey, New York,
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Brown, st. Louis, 2b
Vaughan, Brooklyn, 3b
Reiser, Brooklyn, CT
Mize, New York, Id
OFT, New York, IF
Medwick, Brooklyn, II
w. Cooper, st. Louis, c
Miller, Boston, SIS
Mort Cooper, star of the st.
Louis Cardinals, is almost GER
tain to be the opening pitcher
for the National League and
Durocher specified tn at his
younger brother, Walker Coop
er, would do his receiving.
However, if something should
prevent starting the Redbirds'
big Highlander, who has won IL
games and scored six shutouts,
Mickey Owen of the Dodgers
will be the catcher.
A. L. HURLER MYSTERY
The identity of the Ameri-
cans starting pitcher is deep
dyed mystery and the assign
ment might fall to almost any
one of the nine hurlers on the
squad, with one of the Yankees,
Red Ruffing, Ernie Bonham or
Spud Chandler, favored. Bucky
n Is, Washington manager
and one of the All-Star coaches,
has announced he will save Sid
Hudson, and since big AL Ben
ton of Detroit worked yester-
day he also is sure to be ready.
The National League lineup
has a powerful raiding party
ready for any righthanded pitch
er, because the first five batters
are lefthanded sWingers.
However, Durocher is prepar-
ed for the remote possibility that
the American League might lead
off with one of its lefthanders,
Unlucky Edgar Smith of the
Chicago White Sox or young Hal
Newhouser of Detroit.
Brown bats from either side of
the plate, but in the event a
southpaw starts, the National
League would use Billy Herman,
Brooklyn, 2b; Bob Elliott, Pitts
burgh, 3b; Terry Moore, St.
Louis, CT; and Frank McCor-
mick, Cincinnati. Id, all right
handlers at the top Of the bat
ting order.
JOE IN CLEANUP
The American lineup has some
surprises, foremost of which is
the placing of Joe DiMaggio,
now slumped to a .271 batting
average, in the cleanup spot
where Boston's Ted Williams,
hitting .335 and leading the ma
jor leagues in home runs and
runs batted in, might have been
expected. Furthermore Williams
is a lefthanded hitter and Dr.
Maggie righthanded.
Except for one spot McCar-
thy showed little heed to getting
lefthanded hitters onto his fir
ing line; the one exception was
choosing George McQuinn of the
Browns for first base ahead of
Rudy York, the Detroit right
handed slugger who has hit IA
homers. Williams and catcher
Bill Dickey are the only other
portside batters in the tentative

Urge Flying Cross For Floe Rescue

Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to two officers of the Alaska Defense Command was recon- mended by Major General Simon Buckner, Jr., com manding in documents enroute to Lieutenant General J. L. Dewitt, commanding the Western Defense Con- mand and the Fourth Army
 Recommended for the award were First Lieuten- ants E. T. Marlborough and Frank L. OBrien.
 The recommendation for the officers was inspired by their rescue of First Lieutenant Elmer E. Booth from an foe in dangerous Turnagain Army on Dec ember II, 1941, three days after the United States declaration of war Japan
 Booth had parachuted to safety from his spinning plane the morning of December 10, l941 and had spent than "A hours the grinding drifting ice
 Details of the story, made public officially, revail that Lieut.. Marlborough landed an Army plane on an- other drifting ice oe and that attempts to reach Booth failed until CAA plane dropped pneutmatic rubber boat which permitted the rescuers to traverse the churning, foe-flled tide
 Documents assembled by Lieut. Col W. o. Ear eckson and forwarded with recommendation for favor able consideration by Brigadier General Jesse A. Ladd commanding Fort Richardson, reveal the following story

Little Japan Is Not So Small

WASHINGTON-They call it Little Japan But is it? There l48756 square miles of it. That's about a hundred thousand more square miles than there are of England The population is 72697 700 in Japan pro- per That's million less Japanese than there are Ger mans.
 And the Japanese don't concentrate in sukyall either. Mostly they concentrate fighting They are known natively belligerent They have reputation for being sadistcaly cruel possibly because their small physical structure has developed within them an inferiority complex.
 Every Japanese boy goes into service for two years when he reaches the age of 20 After that he is liable for service until he is forty years old.
 When not fighting, the greater part of the Japan ese people are farming Rice is, ofcourse the main food of all classes but fish plentiful that it too a staple diet.
 Tere are some other things that you may not have known about Japan
 She produces three fourths of the worlds total output of silk Until the with China Japans arg- est import and export trade with the U. S.
 They have compulsory elementary education and only 10 percent of the nation is counted terate In the United States there is 3 percent lliteracy among Negroes and 1.5 per cent among native whites
 For more than year Japan has had a eugenc5 law, which compels the sterilization of mentally de ranged and physically unfit persons.

Falls In Icy Water
 It. Booth 'bailed out" of his spinning plane in a cloud bank on the morning of Wednesday, December 10, at an altitude of about 2,000 feet
 He landed in the icy waters of Turnagain Arm.
 (Tunagan Arm, according to the U. S. Coast Pilot is noted for violent winds and is locally referred to the the Cannon has strong and tide rips and is dangerous for heavy and tidal bore under certain c0ndtons)
 It Booths parachute dragged him to an ice foe large enough to bear his weight.

 The two officers tied themselves together with the planes 'tie?doWn-ropes,' and attempted to thread their way aross open leads to Booths side.
 At least twice Yarbrough fell into the icy water and was pulled to safety from probable death Finally the officers gave up this effort when they found leads too wide to cross.
