D0DGERSLI ON BORROWED TIME AS
CARDS EDGE NEARER NATIONAL FLAG
NEW YORK, Sept. 23-UP)

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-CUP) =
Living strictly on borrowed time"
the runner-up Brooklyn Dodgers
take the field today against the
Philadelphia Phils But regardless
of the outcome, it's the Cincinnati
Reds-Cardinal game at st. Louis
tonight that's keeping a faint flicker
of hope alive for FlatbuSh.
1t is necessary, of course, for the
Dodgers to beat the PhilS, the
Braves twice and the Phils again
in. their tWo-game season windup.
But unless either the Reds or Chi
cago Cubs come through to trim
the Redbirds, Brooklyn automati-
cally will go cut of the running.
The Cardinals matched the Dodg-
erS' 9-8. Success over the Giants
at Ebbets field yesterday with a
9-3 triumph over the Pirates at
Sportsman's Park to maintain their
lead of 2h games.
FOUR GAMES LEFT
st. Louis has four more games
to play while Brooklyn has five,
including todays contest.
Rip Sewell blanked the Cards for
four innings yesterday while the
Pirates pounded HOWE Pollet from
the mound with a three-run surge
in the third. However, the Red
birds rallied for six runs in the
fifth-an assault featured by rookie
Stan Musials homer with three

three more in the sixth off Bob
Klinger. The Pirates garnered II
hits to the Cards 10 but committed
five errors.
Ten pitchers, including Larry
French, saw duty in the Giant
Dodgers l2-inning endurance con-
test which was climaxed by Dolph
Camilli's winning homer, his
25th Of the year, with none on
in the 18th. The Giants held a
40 lead going into the fourth, but
the Brooks knocked out Tom Sun
kel and tied the score. Bad field
ing kept the Dodgers in constant
hot water, 13 Giant blows being
supplemented by four Brooklyn
errors. Camillis wallcp was the
18th Dodger hit.
REDS WALLOP CUBS
Cincinnati walloped Chicago in
both ends of a double bill by the
same score, Al. Paul Derringer
held the Bruins to five hits in the
opener. Johnny Wander Nicer al

the nightcap.
In the only two American league
games played, the Yankees beat
Washington, 81, behind the five

Grid Guessing Contest
Opens to Valley Fans

! Wednesday signaled the
kickoff in the annual Post
Press prognoStication contest
in which Imperial Valley pig
skin fans will again put on
their guessing caps and attempt to
outdo each other in picking the VIM
ners of games both local and ma
tional.
Prize? Sure there's one. However,
we must confess that we're not quite
positive what it will be. Before the
war and the ban on the poSt-season
Rose Bowl game between the champs
OF the Pacific Coast loop and the
champs of another section of the
country, the person who compiled
the most points in the IL guessing
contests has been awarded two du-
cats to the Pasadena event. AS it
is still undecided whether the Rose
tilt will materialize this season we
can't promise to give tickets for it.
We will, however give tickets to
the game if the military authorities
lift the ban on play, and if it doesn't
come off tickets to another major
game on the coast will be awarded.
But that's not all. Even if you
don't amaSS enough points to win
the tickets for the post-season game
you still have a chance to win
pair for local high school games in
the Imperial Valley loop. Two tick
cts for local game will be awarded
TO the winners of the weekly con-
tests.
All entries for the first contest
must be in the mail or in the Post
Press office b. 1880 pm. Friday.

Editors note: Today the usual
writer of this prophetic column
moves out to make room for our
favorite reader, Dumb Dora.
Dora's views on sports and things
are sure to have great effect
on the coming fall season.
Dear Mr.. Sports Editor:
I and My Boy Friend were out
driving-and under 35 miles too
and why these cars all marked 4C
miles per hour always pass you ur
is beyond me-I've never seen any
of them go below SO, I guess if they
have the sticker on they feel they
have as good as gone 40 or less
well, as l was saying, we were
driving past the high school and all
the field lights were on, probably
attracting crickets, and l realized
that it is fall again and 1 will
address My annual protest, which
however, will probably not have
many RESULTS but which will make
me Feel Much better.
My Boy Fried Sarcastically said
why do I bother when football,
baseball and sports writer's go on
just the same without listening to
me, but 1 say, if you feel some
thing is wrong you should do your
best to stop it, or where would
progress be and if somebody had
tried to stop Hitler long ago we
wouldn't be where we are now, if
you follow me.
SERGEANETTES HELP
So I will protest. Aside from
the new fall clothes 1 HATE the
fall season. First I have to go to
all the Football games which, if it
weren't for the Sergeanettes, would
be very dull and Long as after all
you can see whose there and what
they are wearing very quickly and
then it is very Monotonous pushing
each other-the teams I mean, back
and forth and Everybody Yelling in
your ear, particularly those old
sports who Most probably never
held a football but who KNOW
MORE than the Coach any day
although nobody yet has paid them
a Salary for their knowledge.
But that's not all-in the Fall
they Hunt, and it's bad Enough to
have the Blitzkrieg wake you up
at daWn-and dawn seems to be a
lot of different Hours according to
a lot cf different people But they
bring home the Results of their
Hunting and you have to cook
them-Lucky if you don't have to
Clean them, and you listen to how
they Shot six birds in Six shots al
though whole boxes of ammunition
have to be bought, or else you Have
to hear why they Only came Home
with one-very interesting.
Then You have to hear over the
radio and read all about it in the
papers when the Worlds Series
start, and Why they call it the
Worlds series I don't know when
its just U. S. A. teams, Why don't
they call it the American series
I Think it is Conceited to call them
the Worlds series unless No one in

Residents Are Urged to Get Out Once More in Final Rush; President Has Extended Time for
 Closing of Drive

A small mountain of scrap rubber, approximating A tons. has been col- lected by patriotic residents of Wa terhury, but even this impressive amount is below what has been con- fidently expected of this city by state offlcialS
 Today Attorney J. Warren Upson, local salvage committee chairman, made a last-minute appeal to all WaterhurianS to make one more de- termined effort to insure the suc- cess of the campaign in this city and vicinity.
 By tomorrow evening when the nation wide drive comes to a close waterbury should claim credit for at least 75 tons of scrap rubber, MT. Upson stated today. T have hopes of the committee being in a position to inform state headquar- ters that we have generously sup ported the Presidents appeal, al- though no definite quota was aS- signed Waterbury.
 The A tons, 4S1s to be accurate. was reported to the lccal salvage committee at closing hour Saturday (Continued on Page 2)

Nazi Field Marshal Rommel
 Captures British Key Base
More German Spies Being Sought As Eight May Get Death Penalties
Justice Swift and Sure Is Statement of Attorney
 General Riddle
BY ROBERT EVANS

(Un1te0 Press SGam COrfeSpOnuehtJ
 New York, June 29 - (U.P0 - The Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion today sought additional con- federates of eight Nazi spies put ashore by German submarines to organize a campaign of sabotage against Americas war industries. Their arrest was expected shortly.
 It appeared that the confederates were faring no better than the spies, captured before they had a chance to dig up the explosives they buried on Long Island and Florida beaches, or enjoy the fortune in United States currency they brought with them.
 The FBI announced last night that additional arrests have been made of accornplices and contacts of the sahoteurs and more may be made" The number was not an- nounced, though phrasing of the announcement indicated confeder- ates had been seized more than once.
 Federal officials were deciding whether civil or military courts would infiict the swift and thor. ough" reprisals probably the fir- ing squad or gallows-that Attorney General Francis Riddle had prom ised against the agents.
 Justice Swift, Sure
 "You may be sure" Riddle said in Washington, that the Department of Justice will proceed with this case swiftly and thoroughly"
 Riddle revealed that "a number of compncating legal factors" were in- volved. One arises from the fact that two of the Nazis are citizens of the United States and six are aliens.
 The citizens can be prosecuted for treason, while the aliens cannot. The final decision as to whether civil or military courts would try them may rest with President Roosevelt.
 In any event, however, it was be- lieved that their chances of escaping the death penalty were slight.
 The death penalty also was likely for the "accomplices and contacts" !" Officials said they probably would be charged with treason.
 FBT Director J. Edgar Hoover doubted that U-boats had landed more than eight agents.

Triple Offensive By Nazis Against Russia
Kursk, Kharkov, Sevastopo Being Hit Hard; Hitler Is Making Supreme Desperate Effort to Break
 Through to Oil Fields
By HENRY SHAPIRO

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Moscow, June 29-UP)-Front line dispatches indicated today that the Red army was turning back heavy German attacks with great losses on the main southern fronts and stemming enemy attempts to launch a major offensive toward the Caucasus.
 Heavy fighting was reported on the Sevastopol, Kharkov and Kursk fronts, and it was acknowledged that the Germans made some ad- vances. But the trend of operations reported in press dispatches to Moscow indicated that the enemy had failed to achieve any major break through.
 The defenders of SevaStopol "beat back attacks with the greatest cour- age and all German efforts to ad- vance on one sector were halted by the gallantry of Black Sea Marines" the official news agency Tass said, It reported 300 Germans killed in one sevastopol sector and 200 in another.
 Heavy offensive action by the Germans on the Kursk front, 250 miles south of Moscow. was ack- nowledged but details were lacking.
 "On one sector, the Germans made several attempts to capture lines held by our infantry but they were beaten off with loss of 200 officers and men," Tass said.
 "In two days of fighting on the Leningrad front our troops killed 25O Germans and captured 10 ma chine guns and il blockhouses. Eleven tanks and IA trucks were dis abled.'
 No important changes were re- ported on the Kharkov front, where the Russians were reported counter attacking east of Kupyansk. Fight ing was still intense in that area.
