CHICAGO, Dec. /. - Manager
Ossie Bluege of the Mats admittedly
is concentrating on obtaining a
third baseman in his efforts to
bolster Washington BASEBALL team,
but he's discovering third basemen
ale rare articles in these hectic
times.
The Mats may come up with Os-
car Grimes or Russ Peters, who
have been functioning as utility in
fielders for Cleveland, but WASH
ington fans aren't likely to become
excited over the acquisition of
either. From the Yankees down to
the Athletics, with the exception
of Cleveland, there Is a scarcity of
third basemen, so the attempt to
land Grimes or Peters isn't sur
prising.
Grimes has been the Indians
handy man for several seasons. He
has filled in for Hal Trosky at first
base. for Ray Mack at second and
for Ken Keltner at third. He is a
fancy sort of fielder but his bat
ting is slightly less than terrific.
Last season he hit 1872 and the Mats
already are equipped with a surplus
of fellows who hit in that neighbor-
hood.
Hope to Get Crosetti.
Peters, a bespectacled infielder
who occasionally filled in for Man.
ager Lou Boudreau at shortstop
also is acceptable at stopping, pick
ing up and throwing baseballs, but
he's a Woeful character with bat
in his hands. He was a 224 batter
last season.
The Mats had been expecting to
do business with the Yankees, hop
ing to get Frankie Crosetti, but

NEW YORK, Dec. by next
week there may be some definite
information on what to expect
in the way of inter- collegiate
athletics next year. The East
ern athletic directors meet then,
and the assumption is that
they expect word on Army and
Navy plans for using college IA
cilities before they start making
their own plans. According to
well-founded rumors, the services
will take over a good many col
leges, either completely or in
part, as training centers, and
they may have picked the schools
already. Until the services give
the word, the bakers dozen of
directors who talked at yester-
days football luncheon couldn't
say much except that they be-
leve in the value of football and
hope to see 1t continue, as Asa
Bushnell said, until there's no

Fighting Frenchman Urges

BY lit Associated Press
CANBERRA, Australia, Sept. L.
Rear Admiral George d'Argenlieu,
High Commissioner for the Fighting
French in the Pacific, said today it
was vital to clear the Germans from
North Africa as a prelude to a sec
ond front in Europe.
He spoke during an interview aft
er making an official call on Aus
tralian government officials.
The real second front, he asserted,
probably will have to come through
Italy or the Balkans. He suggested
this would prove better than an in
vasion along the English Channel
ON the basis that Germany might
hold her western wall even though
the Allies were able to release
France, Belgium and the Neither
lands.
Once Allied troops landed in
force in France, however, he said,
all the people of Occupied France
would rise to help them.

ment of the Veterans Of Foreign

10-year hospital expansion plan was
being accelerated: that the Veterans
Administration had been decen-
traliZed for more efficiency. and
that service life insurance already
was providing for many families

Since Congress so far has granted

cases, Gen. Hines said procedure
to determine these cases quickly
was being developed.

lem of personnel for new hospitals

ance with a face value of 500 0.0O0.-
00O, 600 from men in service, many
taking out more than one policy.

They should be allowed to make
their own decisions" he said, "un-
hampered by well-intentioned but
inadequately informed back seal
drivers"
The hospital plan. designed to ado
1900 beds to present facilities OF
| $4,000, will be executed "as promptly
