WAKEFIELD'S HIT

Dick Singles
Cramer Home
TO Beat Tribe
BY LEO MACDONELL

With a single that scored Doc
Cramer with the winning run.
Dick Wakefield broke up a gruel-
ing 15-inning ball game and the
Tigers defeated the Indians, 3-2,
at Briggs Stadium Saturday.

ering customers-including 3425

WakefeldS all = important hit
came after Cramer had doubled
and moved 10 third on a pretty
sacrifice by Ned Harris and served
to spoil the grand strategy OF Lou

HEVING IN FORM

Smith had replaced Joe Heving.
veteran right-hander who pitched
10l7 innings for the Glevelands.
during which he gave only five
scattered hits. Vernon Kennedy
started for the Indians and was
yankcd after the Tigers had pum-
meled him for six hits and two OF
the home teams talllcS. Big Mike
Naymick, the giant OF the league,
took up where Kennedy left off
and did all right for a couple OF
Innings, but was lifted for a pinch
hitter.
The Tigers employed only two
pitchers. Hal White starting and
hurting 10 of the frames, IN which
he permitted only five hits. Butt
the Indians punched three Of the
five blows in one inning for their
two markers.
Taking up in the eleventh, Paul
(Dizzy) Trout held the Indians in
check with three scattered hits.

Heving il was the Cleveland vet-

Canteen Wagons

As the old proverb goes you never miss the water till the well goes dry" That is as true saying as the day you and were born. And so it goes with the Canteen Wagon that used to make the daily rounds throughout the shop with eats and drinks We never missed it be- fore we had it, but we sure do miss it since it was taken away from us
 The Canteen Wagon was privi- Iege to be used and not abused. However the latter took place and now what? We have no Canteen Service Tn tne w" Machine Shop. Why, you ask. Because the privilege was abused.
 A good many workmen blame the management for the discontinued service. The management can hardly be blamed for this, for af- ter all there is a war on and we are here as paid employees to help build subs to win this war and put us on the victorious side. We are nOt IlCIS LO SpCuI d ndiI HUI OA so a day dining and drinking from a Canteen Wagon.
 A good many workmen feel that this condition could have been cor- rected by the police women. Brief ly, if the policeWomen had taken numbers of workers Who ran from one department to another in the shop following the Canteen Wagon and spoken to them about the vio- lation with the request that they return to their job and wait for the Canteen Wagon to come by. this practice would have been dis couraged shortly and we might still have Canteen Wagons today.
 A good many worhmen hope the Canteen Wagons will return in the near future. because with the nine hour, everyone experiences periods of fatigue during the day (and night) and a cup of coffee acts as a stimulant-a great help to sort of boost one up when the old fatigued feeling comes along.

Editorial Takes The Cake

Dear Editor:
 I have just finished reading MT. Acker'S excellent editorial on the nine hour shifts.
 wonder, does MT. Acker know that the E. B. Co. is running two shifts? If 90. I am surprised. There was certainly no mention of the second shift in his whole dis sertation.
 It is all well and good for the first shift to complain about the hardships of getting out of 8 hardly warm bed" to come to work so early. And then again how their social life must suffer. We'll, in case any of the first shift men think that their lot is so hard I am sure that there are at least a dozen men on the second shift who will gladly change shifts, early hours or no.
 Frankly I think that MT. Acker'S editorial showed extreme lack of taste and cooperation. My heart b1eeds for the poor first shift men who have to get up early and get home early and can still see show or go visiting.
 Any time MT. Acker wants D change shifts let him say so. I'm sure he will find many to take him up on it. And I am willing to bet a plugged nickel tl2. ne CT he nor any of the other gripers on the first shift will change their shift.
 For darnright nerve that edito- rial takes the cake.

Bob Hope. the idol of millions of Americans, seems to have made a smash hit in his latest from the film factory, Let's Face It." the show that made Danny Kaye so popular in New York last winter. Hope, by the way, is the only member of the Hollywood colony who received applause from the audience when he walked down the aisle at the opening of ''This Is the Army" in Los Angeles. He has done so much for the men in the service that everyone appre- ciates it.

the idea that some new rules must be observed for the forthcoming season. I am asking your coopera- tion to put this campaign over"
 The above paragraph is one from a letter addressed by the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Services Chief, Dr. Ira Gabrielson, to outdoor writers and represents a statement of fact that is generally accepted through out the country.
 If the Federal Government wished no game to be taken, state ments and regulations to the ef- feet would have been made long before this. But since there are many reasons, some of which pr. Gabrielson has mentioned from time to time, including the fact that some recreation is vital in wartime, in his opinion, "the recreational value of hunting alone is sufficient to justify such hunting as may be possible under war con- ditions, without considering the value of food taken" No argu- ments at this hour are likely to find us with closed seasons this fall. Only a short while back, the waterfowl seasons were announced.
 So. there is going to be hunting. Under what conditions? There is an indication that some ammuni- ton will be available. Just how much, if known, has not yet been announced. Those who have stocked up have been asked to take part in redistribution cam lpaign. Efforts of clubs or organi- zations to obtain a more equal al- location in their own will un- Idoubtedly be made. Whether this will work from a practical stand point remains to be proved.

A Nine Hour Night

Attention MT. E. B. Acker and other MT. E. B. AckerS"
 Your editorial "A nine hour day. in the Sub struck me. Sol!
 Without trying to analyze the reason for and more before the terms unpatriotic and inconsiderate are applied to you and others whose patriotism start at a set time in the morning, let me enlighten you on one thing, there are a num- Der of men and women working on another shift at the same plant at which you are now employed, or did you just overlook them? They too have discussions and problems.
 These men and women whom you would have start an hour later, now get through at 12:30 a. m. Their problems are roughly the same that your fellow employees have You had a good word picture of a nine hour day, so take away the occasional home gathering. the movie and the beer at the pub. That is, after working "A nine hour night" when a fellow really enjoys it the most, and you have fair picture of a nine hour night.
 Now to all MT. E. B. Ackers, if you think that it is too much physical strain and may soon be- come a mental one, why not con- suit your "nameSake" in the per- sonnel office and get on a shift that will allow you to regain some of your lost powers (i. e. the 2nd. l am sure some arrangement can be made whereby a great many of the several hundred employees can be relieved of such a burden of early morning rising. In fact, I believe there is standing order for em- ployees on the End shift. This may not appeal to you. but it is as good sense as you used in the ending oi your editorial.
 Here is a suggestion that may not strike you as ideal, but it is ir good faith for all, not only one shift and we can all be patriotic with 1t.
 Why not equalize the two shifts and then establish a rotating shift
