league, continued 10 set hot pace
with ST. Vincent beating All
Saints. GIL The high tally set a
league record for the season in the
division and moved ST. Vincent
into a tie with defending champion
Mt. Carmel. Each team has won
five games.
ST. Stanislaus' tight defensive
game in the second half decided
the outcome in its favor. They led
at the half. 1913.

Ray Blades Likely
Choice TO Replace
Leo Durocher
By BOB MURPHY
SPORTS EDITOR

Leo Durocher appears 10 be
headed for the army. but Branch
Hickey. the head man Of the
brooklyn team, ISN'T easy TO
convince.
He insists he won't make a
move 10 replace Durocher until
Leo the Lip definitely is in the
service.
Since Durocher has been or
dered 10 report for his first
physical early next month. IT is
not likely he will be in definitely
for several weeks. That, at
least, is the way the draft pro-
Cedure usually works. And OPEN
ing day is getting nearer.
Durocher has a fine chance OF
making the grade for the army.
lie had been classified in ga.
but his wife is financially indie
pendent and he IS supporting no
one else.
Ray Blades appears 10 be the
most likely candidate 10 sue
coed Durocher, chiefly because
Hickey likes Blades, whose views
upon such vices as card playing
coincide with the proper Mr..
Rickey's. Blades handling Of
pitchers has often been open 10
criticism and he didn't get along
with Ducky Medwick when ne
held the reinS AT St. Louis, but
he views games OF chance with
Well bred diSapproVal.
Imagine considering that in
selecting a leader for the be-
loved buns. Strange days indeed
are ahead for the Flatbush
Faithful.

CHICAGO, Jan. 81 CUP) Tom
Chapman of Iowa today took the
/ Big Ten individual basketball scor.
ing leadership. but the Hawkeye
stars time at the top appears
limited.
Chapman garnered "a points In
two losing games against Indiana
TO boost his seasonal total 10 "a
points and give him the league
lead by narrow margin over
Andy Phillip of Illinois. who was
idle. Phillip is second with 81
points.
The "catch" 10 Chapm ms
leadership is the fact he has
played six league games as COM
pared with four for Phillip.
Chapman finished third in the
individual scoring race last season,
behind Johnny KotZ Of Wisconsin
and Otto Graham Of Northwestern,
with 1873 points in Is contests.
That finish equalled the highest
ranking for an Iowa player in the
scoring table in 10 seasons.
While Chapman isn't likely 10
stay in front of the scoring parade
his point-making average this sea-
son Is higher than that compiled
season ago. In 1912 his per
game average was 12lz points as
compared with present average
Of Is 2-3 points.
Phillip holds 10 the best points
per-game average with q and has
scored the most field goals. 40.

Roosevelt Endorses
United Jewish Appeal
By he Associated Press.

bS INC AASDtIdteu FitSS.
NEW YORK, March 9-Amer-
leans, through private relief and re-
construction agencies. have mani
tested their deep concern and SYM
pathy for the victims of racial
and religious OPPRESSION" President
Roosevelt said in a message in
dorsing the 1943 campaign of the
United Jewish Appeal for refugees,
overseas needs and Palestine, the or
ganiZation announced yesterday.
The preservation Of the life of
those whom the tyrants sought to
destroy has been supported not only
out Of humanitarian consideration
but for the sake of sustaining the
spirit of freedom and democracy in
the lands where it has been tempo
rarily crushed" the President said
in message to the national chair
men of the appeal.
Agencies represented III the ap-
peal have during the past 10 years
made possible the emigration of
100000 refugees from Europe to
Palestine, the United States, South
America and elsewhere and have
done much to develop Palestine as
Jewish homeland.

Prime Minister Curtin
Asks More Bombers

CANBERRA, Australia. March 9
lP1.-Dlslodging the japanese from
their ring of island bases north and
northeast of Australia would become
an UNNECESSARILY easier task, Prime
Minister John Curtin said today if
the Allies in this area were equipped
with sufficient bombing planes.
With such forces at its disposal,
the Prime Minister declared in an
interview, Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thurs Southwest Pacific command
could mount air attacks equivalent
in strength and effectiveness to that
leveled by the Royal Air Force
against Essen, Germany, last Fri
day.
Mr.. Curtin took issue with the
opinion expressed by some British
and American press commentators
that last weeks destruction of an
enemy troop convoy in the Bismarck
Sea meant the Allies have estab-
lished overwhelming air superiority
in the battle zone north OF Aus
traia
The fact is, he said, that Gen.
MacArthur's victory was achieved by
