Gene McCann, Yankee scout, had
offered Rae $12,500 and two-year
contract with the Yankees. In

during that span. The Yankees
thought highly of Rae because it's
seldom they'll consent to that type
of contract.

cial blow I'll ever have" says the

Scarborough will leave the Mats as
one of their most promising per-

received from the White Sox We'd
nesday night. That simply was a
case of overwork. He had toiled the
previous Friday and again on Sun
day, then was handed a starting
assignment on two days rest.
That sore arm has vanished and
when Rae leaves the American
League will lose it's best curve ball.
He was just beginning to develop
into the pitcher the Yankees, Cardi-
nails and Athletics hoped he would
be when they were bidding for him
so strenuously several years ago.
Ensign Scarborough will return to
the Mats after the war, and chances
are he'll be whale of a pitcher. He
has all the equipment including
heart the size of watermelon.

baseball schools.
"One of their scouts came to me
while I was plowing a field one day
and asked me to 60 to Charlotte,
where the Cards were conducting a
baseball school. The usual thing is
for the kids to pay for their room
and board at those schools, and 1
just didn't have the money to make
the trip.
Il told him I wasn't interested,
but he insisted on paying all ex-
penses and giving me spending
money. They got me over there and
offered me $50 month just to sign
with them and stay in high school.
I didn't like them, though, because
one fellow got me in room and told
me I had a great fast ball but no
curve. Another fellow in the same
outfit told me I had a wonderful
curve but no fast ball.
Il told them they had their sig
nails crossed and walked out on
them. I'm glad I did. One of my
friends signed for $50 month and
he still was getting $50 a month

ahead northwest of Propoisk, the
Red Army is threatening Mogilve,
one of the last important German
held rail centers in White Russia,
as other Russian units squeezed the
Nazi defense lines zhlobin and
Rogachev in the Gomel area.
The Soviet communique said the
Red Army hurled back German
counterattacks and swept forward
northwest of Propoisk to capture
the heavily fortified storngholds at
varodol, Bahki and zabluka.
Frontline dispatches telling OF
deep Russian penetrations from
virtually one end of White Russia
to the other, said the Germans are
beginning to show signs Of lack
of reserves and are using engineers
for front, line troops in some sectors
of the snow-swept front.
To the south in the Kremenchue
area, Soviet units have captured
several strong points after fierce
engagements. The Russian COM
muniqu said the Nazis are continu-
ing the attack in the Cherkasy
area between Kremnchug and Kiev,
but all assaults wer repulsed.
The German radio admitted the
Russians broke through the Nazi
lines south of Cherkasy, but said,
the greater part of the penetrating
force was wiped out"
