BY ARNOLD DERLITZKI,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer


CHICAGO, Sept. Americas
fighting men all over the world are
going to see baseball's World Series
this year.
They will see it in two-reel. 20
minute sound f1lm that will be dis
tributed to all foreign bases. Lew
Fonseca, promotionaI director OF the
American League and producer of
its annual motion pictures, said to-
day.
Filming Of the 1943 series--yir-
tually cinch to be rematch of
New York's Yankees and the cham
pion st. Louis Cardinals-wili be
undertaken by the American League
IN cooperation with the War and
Navy Departments and two sponsors,
FonSeca said. Sponsors are the
Hillerich &, Bradsby Co. of Louis
vile, bat manufacturers, and A. g.
Spalding g. Bros.
First Films Go Overseas.
The announcement came as an
overseas tour by an all-star major
league squad also was being con-
sidered.
Fonseca declared that 400 prints
of the film will be earmarked for inn
mediate distribution to foreign bases
in all parts of the world. Another
100 prints will be sent to Army, Navy,
Marine and Coast Guard bases in
this country but the first shipment
goes to our fighting men overseas.
High lights of the play by play
will be shown, with close-ups of star
players and plays, and shots of sew
eral high baseball executives"
The War and Navy Departments,
Fonseca said, not only gave their
enthusiastic Endorsement. but also
are providing the necessary film
priority and permission to use
cameramen who have been doing
special Army and Navy work.
War Plants to Get Movies.
After requirements of the armed
forces have been met, prints will be
distributed to USO centers, hospi-
tails and other places designated by
the Navy and War Departments.
From a limited number of prints
available later for civilian distribu-
ton, Fonseca added. every effort
will be made to place films before
war plant workers ana also schools
and clubs.
H. c. Hopper of the motion pic
ture division of the War Production
Board said: THE plan is one of the
finest ever laid before us. I'm
sure the film will receive a tre-
mendous welcome from both the
boys on foreign fronts and those
still in training in this country"

Navy's World Series
Al Norfolk Smacks
Of Majors Clash

BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, Sept 9.--Don't
be asking sailor around this naval
base whether he thinks the st.
Louis Cardinals or the New York
Yankees will win the World Series
because you won't get a satisfactory
answer.
These sailors are much more con-
cerned about the Navy's world
series" which opens Sunday be-
tween the rival Norfolk Naval
Training Station and the Norfolk
Naval Air Station.
The rivals of the Navy will play
a seven-game series and from
squint at their respective rosters.
you'd think they might be playing
the classic which comes off every
autumn between the champions of
the National and American Leagues.
The sailors boast such pitchers
as Freddie Hutchinson of the De-
troit Tigers before he joined up
with Uncle Sam, Charley Wagner,
Boston Red Sox, and Tom Farley,
Boston Braves. Besides these, they
have little Phil Rizzuto, ex-Yankee
shortstop; Dominic Di Maggie, Bos-
ton Red Sox outfielder; Benny Nc
Coy. Philadelphia Athletics second
baseman; Eddie Robinson, who
would be playing first for Cleve-
land. if; Don Padgett, st. Louis
Cardinals outf1elder, and Vincent
Smith, Pittsburgh catcher.
The airmen may not have so
many former major leaguers, but
they have pretty nifty bunch of
ball players. Their No. pitcher is
chunky Hugh Casey, once the pride
of the Brooklyn Dodger relief staff,
who hurled a no-hit, no-run game
against the neighboring sailors.
Besides Casey, the airmen boast
one of baseballs top-fiight short
stops in Pee Wee Reese, also
former Dodger. The two clubs have
met 43 times. The sailors won "a,
the airmen 18 and there was / tie.
One question which may be de-
cided is-which is the greater short
stop, Reese or Rizzuto? Don't an
swer that one, pal, that's the ques-
ton that stirs the dander around
this naval base.

Illinois 10 Send Green
Team Against Grant
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept 9.7Illinois, the
first Big Ten school to open the
1943 football season, probably will
send the youngest and most mex
perienced team in its history against
Camp Grant Saturday.
Two likely backfield starters, for
instance, are 17-year- old freshmen
Eddie Bray, 151-pound left half
back, and Chet Sajnaj, 190-pound
fullback.
Bray is fast-stepping youngster
and good passer.
Even the one veteran the Illini
have back may not be available
Saturday. Buck Correll, halfback,
called for conference with his
draft board, still is at his Lincoln
GILL; home.
Ralph Palmer, senior guard, has
been appointed captain for the

The major leagues are approach
ing the end of their second sue
cessive season without a no-hit
pitching performance, perhaps prov
ing that as much luck as skill enters
into such classics.
There still is time, of course, for
some hurler to slide into the groove,
but few of the 100-plus no-hitters
in big-league history have come
this late in the season.
Ten pitchers have come within
one hit of ringing the gong this
year, but some malicious fate ap-
parently has been standing in their
way.
At least it must appear that way
to Whitlow Wyatt of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, who never has hurled a
no-hitter, but who yesterday barely
missed this goal for the fourth time
In his major league career.
Unlucky i'm Other Years.
He stopped his favorite fall guys,
the Boston Braves, 80, for his sew
enth straight success and 1lth of
the season, but a clean single to
right field in the first inning by
Charley Workman kept Wyatt from
entering the hallowed hall of pitch
ing fame.
Since the blow came in the first
inning, when Wyatt wasn't re-
motely thinking about a no-hitter,
it was not as hard fate as couple
of the Georgia farmers previous
experiences.
Lady Luck really gave him the
brush-off in. 1882 and again two
years ago. In the first case he was
pitching for the Chicago White Sox
against the st. Louis. Browns and
had a no-hitter, with two out in
the ninth inning, until Ted Gullic
spoiled il with single.
In 194l he had a perfect game, no
hits and no runner reaching first
base, with one out in the ninth at
Boston, only to have the Braves
wreck it with two hits. Last Year
