fast ball with the Cleveland Indians
and the lean, sun-tanned Feller who
toiled yesterday.
Some Is pounds lighter than a
year ago, hard as nails and as speedy
as ever, Feller went the full dis
tance for his Norfolk Training Sta
ton Base mates, tanning II along
the way. And when he bore down
the soldiers knew the lid was on
for keeps. for he had all his old
polse and cunning and the same,
smoking swift ball that muzzled
so many big league guns.
Cozzi Hits Feller for Homer.
1t was a gay. colorful and care
free crowd that turned out for the
proceedings. The pre-game cere-
monies went of without a hitch
and the ball game was threatening
to 70 the same way when young
Sam Cozzi laid the planking on
one OF Feller's fast balls and parked
it up against the right-centerfleld
wall. That happened in. the sixth
inning when the Tars were coastlng
along on a 40 lead, and 1t brought
the crowd to its feet with roar.
Cozzi, an alumnus of little West
Chester Teachers College in Penn
sylvania, proved the hit was no
fiuke by coming back in the eighth
to pat a clean single to center and
score on Jack Sanford's triple. But
the threat of a third Army run was
erasted when Sanford was picked
off third on a snap peg from Wolf
man to Carlin.
Cozzi's round-tripper was one OF
three inside jobs committed during
the fray. Sam Chapman. a Phila-
delphia AS alumnus, and Jack Con-
way, former Baltimore Oriole short
stop, duplicated the feat for the
sailors.
Freddy Hutchinson, former Detroit
Tigers $4,000 rookie, played first
base for Norfolk and turned in a
creditable job. banging out couple

Strike-who's out?-Fort Worth
sports scribes tell how Stub Over
mire missed his swing at a third
strike the other day and the right
fielder threw him out at first base
Yes, it really happened. When
the ball got away from the
catcher, Overmire was slow in
starting to run. The catcher
threw over first, but the right
fielder recovered the ball and got
it to the bag in time to retire
Stub.

Newsom, who has won only one

was hurling his fourth successive
creditable game against the Tigers
in the first game. He permitted only
eight hits. four of which were pro-
duced in the eighth inning. But with
a better break he easily might have
pitched shutout game.
In the second inning Harris dis
puted triple and Pinky Higgins
single manufactured the Tigers
run and in Detroit's 3-run eighth
inning Second Baseman Ellis Clary
unleashed a wild throw past first
on a double play ball that would

Camp Lee outfit.
Program Is ColorfuI.
Porter Vaughan and Hank Nowak,
draftees from the AS and Cardinals,
respectively. shared mound chores
for the soldiers and held the Tars
to 10 hits. The eventual winners
punched half of these in the first
three frames and took advantage OF
a couple of fielding miscues to
clinch the honors.
The lengthy and entertaining five
hour program moved along smoothly
after an all-star girls softball team
inaugurated the festivities by drub-

and ceremony of massing the colors

Disaster on Bataan
Detailed 10 President
By War Secretary
Executive Faces Full Day;
Admiral Stark and
Winunt on Schedule
BY John C. HENRY.

First details of the Ameri-
can disaster on Bataan PENN
sula were laid before President
Roosevelt by Secretary of War
Stimson in an early morning
White House conference today.
With the expectation that addi-
tional information and developing
plans for continued resistance to
the Japanese in the Philippine area
will be forthcoming during the
morning. the President also directed
Secretary Stimson to return to the
White House for consultation at
lunch time.
The two engagements with the
head of the War Department high
lighted a full day of Presidential
business, including continuance of
conferences with John G. Winant,
American Ambassador to Great Bri-
tain, who is home for consultation
with officials here.
Stark First Caller.
The Chief Executives first en-
gagement of the day was with Ad-
miral Harold r. Stark, until re-
Gently chief of naval operations,
who is shortly to take over active
command of American naval forces
in European waters.
Without advance notice to Ad-
miral Stark. the President pre-
sented the naval officer with the
Order of the Gold Star, accom-
panied by the following citation;
For exceptionally meritorious
service to the Government of the
United States in a duty of great
responsibility during his tenure of
Office as chief of naval operations
from 1889 to 1912 when he was
charged with the responsibility of
building and administering the
largest peace-time Navy in the his
tory of this country.
Due to exceptional qualities of
leadership and his outstanding abil-
ity, full reliance was placed on his
advice and counsel by the Secretary
of the Navy, by the Congress and by
the President of the United States
as evidenced by the executive and
legislative measures adopted for the
naval service to effect high state
of training for war and the build
ing of a tWo-ocean Navy"
The White House said that the
Gold Star was being awarded to Ad-
miral Stark on recommendation of
Secretary of Navy Knox and is in
lieu of second Distinguished Serv-
ice Medal award.
In another engagement today, the
President was to confer with David
Dasso, Peruvian Minister of Finance.
The White House said that Mr.
Dasso, a graduate of Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, had been
"a tower of strength to the United
States in recent South American
conferences" to establish wartime
hemisphere solidarity.

Greeting by Roosevelt

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today, on the
second anniversary of the Nazi in
vasion of Norway, sent a message of
encouragement to King Haakon VII
in London.
"On April 9, two years ago." said
the message, "NaZi hordes shocked
the civilized world by invading with
out any provocation your peaceful
and law-abiding country.
Your Majesty's faith and the
faith of the Norwegian people in the
cause of democracy and the ulti-
mate victory of the forces resisting
aggression has been and continues
to be an inspiration to the peoples
of the United States"
