The action" was taken by the end
of the week, Barrett said. Results of
a skyglow check of Salisbury by Nor

not yet been received at State ARP
headquarters.
Wicomico's chief afraid warden,
John L. Morris, said that starting
this week, "we have to take the names
of dimout violators." He added the
names of violators might be turned
over to the Third Service Command.
The afraid warden added that
most violations were due to careless
ness.
The above is somewhat at variance

he knocked out Vern Patterson in the second round at the Garden, after exhibiting one of the grand est displays of straight punching New Workers have noted in com- parative novice in years.
 Because of that kayo, 21-year- old Edgar is being thrown into the ring Friday night with Jack La Motta, a tough middleweight who vii lout- weigh welterweight Edgar Seven by eight pounds. And La Motta is favored to win at 7-5 because La Motta is rough, tough operator who never has been knocked out and who has lost only four decis- ions in two years.
 If the Little Brown Bomber gets past La Motta in their Hereunder Friday night, he vii lbe in position to demand a big-money shot with any of the country's top-flight well ters - such as Ray Robinson, Frit- Zie Ziv1c or even champion Red Cochrane of the Navy.
 Young Edgar fights like Louis largely because Corporal Joe spent nearly two months teaching him what to do with his fists. That was at the Louis farm near Detroit, where there's always welcome sign out.
 Louis impressed upon me the necessity of condition" Edgar says. When I first came out of the amateurs, I was worried constantly about my ability to last the 10- round route. But most of my early engagements were nightmares be- cause I was uncertain about pacing myself"
 The coffee -colored Negro with unusually large shoulders added, Louis always told me = if you can punch and if you're in good condi- tion nobody can lick you. Condition is most important of all."
 Louis became interested in Edgar when Jimmy was an amateur. Jolt ing Joe used to come down to the Brewster center for young Negroes and referee bouts. He was im- pressed with Jimmy's effectiveness as Simon Pure as he hammered on to win nine amateur titles. Be- cause of the Brown Bomber's inter- est, John Peterborough sent for Ed gar. and induced him to turn pro- fessional under the joint guidance of Peterborough and Louis. This joint guidance was interesting, but unprofitable, at first, because hard hitting Edgar could get no oppo- nents in the light, welter or middle weight fields.
 Meanwhile, trainer Eddie Futch risked his small savings to the bring Edgar to New York. After lengthy tribulations, the young Negro got an eastern fight with Vern Patter- son = and belted him out in thG second round. Edgar now wants challenger's shot at Ray Robinson of New York who is unbeaten ir 123 amateur and pro fights.

 New York August 26. - (UP) = Jimmy Edgar of Detroit, the Little Brown Bomber" gets his all-im- portant test at Madison Square Gar den Friday night when he proves to the boxing world that he is either CD 8 second edition of Joe Louis, or CD just another ham-and- -egger.
 Edgar is compared with heavy weight champion Joe Louis in his every move because he comes from Detroit, the champions home town, because he is managed by John Rox- borough one of Louis co-man- agers - and because he apparently is one of the hardest hitting well terweights ever to toss leather, and because he admittedly apes jolting Joe's shuffling style.

New York, Aug. 25.-Stop lioniz- ing athletes in service, Comdr. James Joseph Tunney warns the boys in the press box.
 Cut on sports ballyhoo, proposes the former heavyweight champion.
 Forget athletic extravaganza" " like all-star football and baseball games.
 Professional athleticism Che means sports) is wonderful nonsense" to Comdr. Gene Tunney, who modestly remembers that he made $1,000,00O in 30 minutes by virtue of such silli- ness.
 We hold no brief for the boys in the press box, who are simply try ing to raise a few million dollars for Army and Navy relief through professional athleticism. After all, what is a few million dollars in times like these?
 These criticisms by high-rank- ing naval official show surprising lack of unanimity by the navy.
 Was the press responsible for these?
 The navy pre-f1ight program with its emphasis on big-time football, important coaches, big games and all the shortening that smacks of sports emphasis.
 All-star army football teams which play exhibitions against pro- fessional clubs.

Record Great,
 Local Boy Gets A Flying Start

Lipon, right-handed hitter standing an even six feet and weighing 17O pounds, finished second among Michigan State league bat ters in 1941 with .359.
 Although he has not since ap- peared to be a power hitter, he was the top hand in total bases, 316 on 176 hits in 490 times at bat, and was far ahead in home runs with 35. He scored the most runs-126. He was voetd the clubs most popular player.
 Lipon was batting .301 when re- called by Detroit from Beaumont, having punched out 116 hits in 385 trips. He manufactured 12 doubles, one triple and three home runs and batted in 52 runs.
 He stole nine bases. When-and if he learns to get the break on the pitcher, he should be extremely dan- gerous on the paths.
 Lipon covers a wide territory in all directions. He has a strong arm, a fine pair of hands, fields and throws the ball from any angle in one motion-a picture of perfection. WAKEFIELD ADJUDGED
 MOST VALUABLE HAND
 Lipon-pronouncel Lee-pon-plays hitters well and knows what to do with the ball, A shy youngster, he is extremely popular with team mates.
 Registered in the last draft, Lipon has not yet been classified. He sup ports a family of brothers and sis- ters, so may be deferred.
 Dick Wakefield, whom Detroit paid $45,O00 for signing, has just been named by sports writers as the most valuable player in the Texas league. The former Michigan soph- omore ran away from the field, will get diamond ring and $1 900 war bond
 Dick Wakefield and Johnny Lipon are two big reasons why Beaumont is now leading the Texas League.

By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Detroit, Aug. 26-Old- timers can't recall when young shortstop came up with such unanimity of rave notices and so quickly gave sigLs of living up to them as has Johnny Lipon, who checked in from the Beaumont farm to put the breath of life into toothleSS Detroit Tigers.
 q have seen them come and go but this kid is the best of them all, says Steve O'Neill, the old American League catcher, manager and coach who pilots the Beaumont club.
 "A great young player with wonderful future" asserts Jack Zel- Ter, general manager of the Detroits.
 "It is not just what he does but the way he does it that stamps Lipon as natural ball player re- ports Harry G. Salsinger, famous sports editor of the Detroit News.
 He's the greatest shorttsop l have ever seen," declares President J. Alvin Gardner of the Texas LGdBuG, WIlU IldS DccIl COLlLICClCu with baseball for more than 25 years.
 Jack Tighe, manager of the Mus kegon Reds of the Michigan State league, with whom the 19-year-old Lipon broke in last season, sings the same chorus.
 HOMEGROWN STAR
 BREAKS IN WELL
 Breaking in with the Tigers in the nightcap of double-header with Chicago at Briggs Stadium Aug. 16, Lipon fielded spectacularly, hit three singles and drove in run. What is more important, he has kept going.
 Like Charley Gehringer, Barney McCosky and Hal Newhouser, Lipon is homegrown Tiger. He is a grad uate of Detroit high school and Scout Wish Egan picked him up on the SandlotS.
