Fuchs Pitches
4-Hit Shutout
Against Browns
White and Trucks
Also Show Up Well
in ST.. Louis Series
BY LEO MACDONELL

CHICAGO. April 20.-While the
Tigers came away with only an
even break, Del Baker today had
good cause to be happy when he
took inventory of his pitching In
the four-game series in st. Louis,
When Baker sent three recruit
pitchers 10 the mound against the
Browns in their first big league
starting assignments, the Tiger
manager set some sort of a
precedent in experimentation. But
Del was playing for higher stakes
than current victories. He was
Iplaying for the future OF the
Tigers.
AS a result, Baker appears TO
have come up with two or more
high class Fingers who may fig
ure prominently in the teams

Charley Fuchs turned in brilliant
shutout victories over st. Louis
and Virgil Trucks. another young
ster. although he did not win.

Baker that he has big league
possibilities.

Two-thirds. or about ~ 900 of
the persons killed in automobile
accidents IN the U. S. last year
would not have been killed If
proper driving practices had been
used. according TO DR.. G. o.

teal committee of the Tacoma

Altogether 40, 900 Americans were
killed in 1e41, 100000 were In
jured and more than 100000
automobiles were damaged
10000 of them beyond repair, DR..

Even this frightful showing may
be worsted in 1912, according TO

promise is based upon certain
scientific facts. First. it is
pointed out, the quality of autos
on the highways of America this

grade. Many are old and un-
dependable, particularly the tires
which will be getting thinner and

Chinese Generalissimo Chang

Stilwell assumes command Of the

front against Japan. II
would give the United state.
n chance 10 Join In and attack
Japan directly from siberia.
while the forces In Australia
squeezed upward from the
other direction.
This INTERPRETATION of the various
fronts offers many possibilities
Russia is making excellent prog
ress in the offensive against Hit
Ter. The Red army's advance il
slow but II is investing good
many strategic points which Hit
Ter needs badly for his projected
summer offensive.
II h not altogether impos-
sible that BY the time winter
has ended the Russians viii
have put the Germans In a
position where their offensive
would not stand great chances
Of success. In that case, Hit
Ter might have to turn to the
south and the pressure on
north and central Russia
would be relieved.
Allied strategists, in fact. are
predicting that Hitler, because of
his pressing need for oil, will at
tempt to advance on the oil fields
Of the Near East and the Cau-
casus. The war picture thus may
be changed greatly before sum-
mer ends.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1942-03-20

The outlook in the Australian
war zone is that the japanese are
going to have an extremely hard
campaign, requiring the heaviest
sea. air and land forces. 1t seems
clear that they have to 60 ahead
with il whether they want TO or
not. II they hold off, Macarthur
eventually will have accumulated
the force that will spell their
doom.
The situation calls for ire
mendous effort by the Japan
e~e and thus has a bearing
on the war on other fronts.
Added to the Japanese cam
paign In Burma and their
probable operations In the In
dian ocean, IL lessons the
chance that Japan will open
up another front and take on
Russia, as sources In Chung
king recently have been
prophesying they would.
Russia in that case would not
have to be expending war energy
In the east as well as the west. de-
tracing from her effort against
Hitler. Thus in a sense the fight
ing in Australia is a form of aid
TO Russia.
II the Hitler menace In the
west Is removed this summer,
there In q good chance that
Russia herself will open up
