By Recent Heavy Loss

they are supported only by cranks
and crackpots and morbid persons
whose only foreign policy is their
own grudges, there will be no dan
ger of an Allied split SO far as
America is concerned.
If trouble-making politicians do
not succeed in opening the door to
a crack-up among the Allies, the
Germans cannot ease out of COM
plete defeat. because the military
is completely boxing them in.
Germany can't stand the losses
in planes that the Allies are in
flicting on her. When her air force
is wrecked, her army is left ex-
posed. Germany can't stand the
destruction of productive facilities.
When a German fighter factory at
Bremen was destroyed, the Ger
mans set up a substitute at more
remote Regensburg. 1t made 40
per cent of Germany's ME-109s.
That plant was knocked out Au-
gust II. We lost % Fortresses.
Germany lost production which
was the equivalent of 500 fighter
planes.
1t is as if our big airplane fac
tories were being blasted from the
air. The Army Air forces have
photographs of damage in Germa-
ny that they will be glad to show
any skeptic.
The Allies have the ascendancy
in the air. 1t is here we have
Germany at the greatest disadvan-
tage.
To waver now in driving home
our advantage would be blunder
that would cost us thousands and
thousands Of lives on the ground.

WASHINGTON. - We are bound
to have bad days in the war, as
we did last week when we lost
so Fortresses on the Schweinfur1
mission that destroyed half of Ger
many's ball-bearing capacity.
Fortunately, our Air Force Com
mand is not discouraged by the
losses but sees rather the greater
damage to Germany. We are go.
ing forward with preparations for
new and heavier blows.
Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief OF
the Army Air Forces, says that
regardless of losses, he intends to
continue to enlarge the Eighth Air
Force. He will expand the day
light attack on Germany from the
west. At the same time, Allied
Headquarters in Algiers announces
preparations for a long range
bombing campaign into Germany
from bases in Italy which will be
500 miles nearer to Germany than
our North African bases. Germany
now must try to defend herself
from the heaviest kind of air at
tack from two directions.
Thus Germany will soon see that
occasional heavy losses, severe as
they may sometimes be, will not
cause us to relent. We expect
that occasionally Germany W j
come at us with some new device,
although our Schweinfurt losses
were caused not by surprise weap-
ons for the rocket shell had been
used on us before, but by new
tactics, by new football play, so
to speak. Such tricks are good
once. Now we know the play used
over Schweinfurt and how to break
it up.
Whereas we have an occasional
bad day, the Germans are taking
defeats every day, everywhere.
Where can they turn for the slight
est hope? Their daily experience
now is defeat in Russia, defeat in
Italy, and day and night air at
tacks inside their heartland. Their
Japanese ally is being driven back
from island to island.
The Germans have only on e
chance to escape. They have not
the slightest source of military
hope, except to make the fighting
as difficult and as costly as pos
s;ble for us. They hope we shall
become discouraged, and unwilling
to take losses. They see the pos
sibility that the Allies will be as
stupid and bungling as they were
before, and that we shall fall out
among ourselves and that out OF
split among the Allies, Berlin
can save itself from total defeat.
But we are not likely to permit
any diplomatic split among our
selves that would save Germany.
Private citizens like Wendell Will
kie and Sumner Welles are COM
manding the respect and approval
of large body of American public
opinion by their courageous and
intelligent addresses emphasizing
the need and the way to achieve
effective Allied cooperation.
Politicians are likely to find it

Bob was thinking correctly that
the Mats would be more powerful
club with Powell or Moore in left
field, Johnson's customary spot, pro-
viding the threat of his own bat

order. That meant johnson of ne
cessity must shift to the infield
which he did.
Earlier in the campaign he filled
In nicely at third base when Ellis
Clary became i'll. Later Alex Kam-
pouris, Sherry Robertson and Gerald
Priddy took stabs at the job, but
Manager Ossie Bluege discovered
Kampouris and Robertson didn't
plug the gap acceptably and that
anytime he moved Priddy away from
second base he was weakening his
infield.
Finally the Mats obtained Harlond
Cliff, the Browns veteran third
baseman, and that problem seemed
settled. Cliff performed in only
eight games at the post, however,
before being stricken with mumps
and sidelined for the season. Again
Bluege turned to johnson, by this
time recognized as his handy man.
johnson has been a refreshing
character for Bluege to have on the
premises this season. When Mickey
Vernon recently came up with a
sore hand that shelved him for a
week, johnson became the Mats first

The long delayed day on which
the New York Yankees can clinch
the American League pennant under
their own power in one game has
arrived.
All the Bombers need now to nail
up their seventh flag in eight years,
and 14th in history, is to beat the
Detroit Tigers this afternoon.
They smothered the Tigers for
the second straight time yesterday
with Lefty Marius Russo showing
World Series form in a tWo-hit 10
shutout. The only run of the game
came on three singles in the first
inning and caused Rufus Gentry his
second 10 defeat since joining the
Tigers earlier this month.
This success and Cleveland's split
of a double-header at Boston-the
Tribe was beaten, 1877, before win

mathematically and Washington
collapsed before the st. Louis
Browns.

in the northern division-a team
with nobody of any consequence to
play in its bailiwick.
With Stanford on the shelf, Cali
fornia, Southern California and
California at Los Angeles are left in
the southern section.
No kind of workable conference
schedule can be drawn up with these

The original idea of operating the
loop in wartime was to have the
northern and southern division
teams battle among themselves, thus
saving the mileage needed for the
usual round-robin play, and then pit
the two winners in a championship
game, the champ to go on to the
Rose Bowl. But now that's out

Washington's battle to cling to
second place and thereby inherit the
81 200 or so awarded players on run
nerup teams has developed into a
more strenuous campaign than the
Mats planned, what with the Indians
creeping up to within two and a half
games of them, but at the moment
the attention of local customers is
focused on the George Case-Wally

TORONTO, Sept. 24.-The best
of-seven Governors Cup final play
of series in the International League
which resumes in Syracuse tomor-
row, apparently is to be almost solely
test of pitching strength.
Millard Howell pitched three-hit
bah in leading the Syracuse Chiefs
to a 5-3 verdict over Toronto in the
series opener here Wednesday and
last night the story was the same as
Nick Strincevich rationed five blows
to give Toronto a 60 victory before
5000 fans.
Strincevich, 15-game winner in
the regular season, scattered his
blows to such good effect that only
one Syracuse player reached third
base.
Meanwhile, the Leafs bounced nine
safeties off Tom De La Cruz. Seven
OF them were punched in the third
and fifth innings, good for three runs
IN each frame.

Long ailing from an acute Short
