signal for the 1912 schedules, but
whether his recommendation for
more night games can be carried
out in all cases appears 10 be an
other matter, because delivery Of
outdoor lighting equipment, under
present priorities regulations, may
be impossible.
Night games give an opportuni'
ty TO the day shift to see a game
occasionally and also helps to boost
gate receipts.
A resolution will be introduced at
the New York meeting to increase
the limit on night games from
seven TO II games.

National League meeting there Is
slated for the following day. Be

dis, both meetings can be held with
assurance that 1912 baseball wiz

Aside from the equipment ques-
ton, the lineup IN favor OF more
night games is almost unanimous
IN the wake OF the Presidents
letter.
Even President Alvah Bradley
OF the Cleveland Indians, one OF
the most consistent opponents OF
more night games, says he has
reconsidered mis- position in view

War Needs Money

The Ypsilanti Daily Press is GLAD
TO cooperate with the Treasury De

you can. But buy them on a
regular basis.
Bonds cost as little as S1s75
Stamps come as low as 10 cents.
Defense bonds and stamps can

kovy's Story Of Bottle
Emphasizes Unity Of
Three Services

One OF the laconic reports which
came out of the Battle of Midway
reminiscent of Sighted sub; sank
same"-was this:
IT attacked alone with bombs.
One transport afire."
The Navy made this message pub
lie today in connection with its
revelations of the Midway details.
The story of the battle stressed the
close coordination and unity be-
tween the Army. Navy and Marine
Corps which made possible the
smashing victory in the mid-Pacific.
The short message was from a
lone pilot and, in the Navy De-
partment's words. .'typified the de-
termination with which all the
pilots, Navy, Army and Marine
alike, few hours later pounced on
the foe"
United In Crushing Blow.
Pilots of the three service arms,
patrolling far-f1ung beat over the
Pacific, detected approach OF the
Japanese feet, kept it under sur
veillance while coming in range. and
then united to deal the enemy
crushing blows in the battle.
Preliminary maneuvering of the
Jap feet before the Battle of Mid

in the area that major events
loomed and made all the fighting

Air Power Was Crippled by U. S. Flyers

Waldron, Al, of Fort Pierre, S. Oak,
and the other men who did not come
back.
A Navy task force lying In ambush
off Midway was ready to strike,
once the quarry was located.
Comdr. Waldron, before taking
off in search of the enemy, declared:
I'VE will strike, regardless of the
consequences"
His squadron. No. 8. joined other
groups on the hunt. No. became
separated from the rest and con-
tinued the search alone.
It found the japanese feet and
attacked with no fighter support
and no dive bombers to divert
enemy defense fire.
Pierce Screen Of Fire.
"The sky swarmed with Jap
Zeros," said the Navy's special
memorandum on No. SIS attack, "and
a seemingly impenetrable screen
of cruisers and destroyers protected
the carriers. Nevertheless, No. 8
deliberately pressed home Its at
tack at short range. Plane after
plane of the group was shot down
in flames"
But the planes left in the sky
launched their torpedoes at the
enemy carriers and they made GER
tain for the task force, said the
Navy, that the Japs' air power was
crippled at the start"
Forty minutes after Comdr. Wal
dron's squadron had located the
enemy and shattered itself in the
attack, the squadron of 1t. Comdr
Clarence Wade McClusky Of Buff
falo. N. Y, also found the "lost"
Japs.
McClusky Reversed Course.
"Comdr. McClusky," said the COM
munique, leading a squadron in a
different fight, quickly analyzed
the situation when his groups
search failed to locate the Jap fleet
He banked sharply and led his
squadron on an exactly reverse
course-that is, one which would be
employed to intercept his enemy
if he we're steaming in the opposite
direction from that originally
charted.
"Comdr. McClusky had assumed
that the enemy. since he was not
proceeding toward Midway, might
be retiring-and the analysis proved
correct Subsequent developments
revealed that shortly after the
United States carrier planes were
launched the Jap feet had reversed
its course and begun a retreat.
"Comdr. McClusky and his group
