 In New Guinea
 May Be Prolonged
NassoeIated. .Pressl

MILITARY HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA - Carefully built de fense positions of the Japs at Buna convinced military authorities to- day that the final decision in New Guinea may be prolonged Who. ever said the Japanese cant fight defensively are crazy. said Mai. C.. M Beaver of YanRtoa. s. D. in ] delayed frontline dispatch by s. Murliu Spencer, Associated Press correspondent dated Nov. 25. 1t may take a long time to dislodge them but We will do il" the Major added The comparative remoteness of Allied air bases Is also proving q problem, the dispatch went on to say, with Jap airmen from shorter distance bases strafing and bomb ing at such times as when Allied planes are absent from the scene.
 Japanese machine gun nests must be taken position by position Spen- cer writes. and advances are mea- sured in yards instead of miles.
 The Guadancanal area today was comparatively quiet. Air blows were struck by L. $. and British fliers in raids in Burma, China and Thai land. American planes damaged siamese oil refineries at Bangkok; an S.00O-ton freighter was bombed and destroyed at Canton. The noon communique from Australia dis closed that it has been determined through insignias on dead Japs, as well as the excellent physical con dItion of those killed. that the re- cent naval sorties of Buna have succeeded in getting some special shock troops of Jap marines ashore.
 Ground fighting in the sector was. reported to have abaIed but the air war went on. The Allies dropped 100O-pound bombs on the Lac air drome.
 Over Buna the Allies shot down six Jap fighters and lost three of their own planes.
 Allied reconnaissance units spot ted and shadoWed enemy shipping of northern New Guinea last night to give the Flying Fortress and Btl-f ly Mitchell bombers their chance to score direct hits on two destroyers and two near misses on others.
 On Thursday night. the Japs sent 12 bombers over the town and air. drome at Darwin, Australia, but re- ports from General MacArthur's headquarters said the damage done was slight.
 Allied fighters strafed the Japs in towns of Portuguese Timor and al Chunking, China. Chinese Ar my spokesman said the Japs are sending men and planes to reinforce French Indo-China, northern Burma and northern Thailand. The spokes- man saw this as a prospective of fensiye against the southwest China province Of Yunnan.

chance to buy Blair, but that they
were afraid of football knee

was supposed TO have.

Marchildon held the Tigers to
six scattered hits while his team
mates slugged out a grand total OF

by Blair with the bases loaded. II
was the former Yankee chain

also hit a double and single.
On his last time, at bat. in the
eighth inning. fans were pulling
for the young Philadelphia 10 hit
a triple. A three-bagger would
have given him the cycle for the

that scored Jack Wallaesa with
the run that broke a deadlock and
paved the way for Philadelphia s
victory over the Tigers in the first
Of the two-game set in Briggs
