with Army Officials

BY the Associated Press.
The eastern end of a British
Americana Chinese squeeze play
against Japan--product of the
Quebec war strategy conference
lis being outlined here at meet
ings between Lord Louis Mount
batten, new Allied supreme COM
mander in Southeast Asia, and
American military chiefs. It has
been made clear that a real Of
fensive In the Asiatic area lies
In the far distance.
The itinerary of Britain's Com
mando chief will take him through
round Of stan conferences with
army oficials today, and, after a
trip to London. eventually to Chung
king to plot the western phase of
the war In Asia
A four-fold objective appeared to
dominate the developing pattern for
the Allied effort In Asia: Reopen the
Burma Road, .unshackle Southern
Asiatic seaports from enemy control,
ultimately to dominate the China
Sea and greatly augment Allied air
power In China itself.
Confers With Navy Officials.
With the whole program obviously
involving amphibious operations,
Lord Louis conferred yesterday with
Navy officials. Secretary of the
Navy Knox remarked that the choice
OF Lord Louis was an indication of
growing attention and interest" to
the Southeastern Asia theater and
ito future operations there" Mr..
Knox said he was chosen because
he was regarded as the best man
for the job"
Speculation turned, meanwhile, on
the identity OF the American Army
officers who will serve under him.
1t became known that an as yet uni
Identified officer already has been
chosen by the Commando leader as
his deputy chief of staff and that
the chief Of staff will be British.
The name most frequently men
toned for the deputy's Job Is that
Of 1t. Gen. Mark w. Clark, former
chief OF staff of the Army Ground
Forces. now commanding the United
States 5th Army in North Africa,
who won fame for his submarine
trip to North Africa for conferences
with French leaders before the in
vasion last November.
Also mentioned was the name of
1t. Gen. Joseph L. Stilwell as a
likely choice for Lord Louis deputy
commander in chief, though it was
understood that no decision has
been reached on a man to fill that
post and probably will not be
reached until the commander in
chief has seen Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek in Chungking. Gen. Still
well now commands all United
States Army forces In China
Burma India and Is the generals
simo's chief of staff.
Leaving Tonight or Tomorrow.
Admiral Mountbatten probably
will leave Washington tonight or
tomorrow and it is thought likely
that while he Is in London the Brit
ish government will promote him
from vice admiral to full admiral

two German minesweepers had sunk
two Swedish fishing boats without

The latest protest, the second in
10 days demanding that Germany
halt her attacks on Swedish COM
mercial and military interests, will

Dan Casey, Famous Figure Of Baseball
 Poem, Dies, Age 80

Washington, Feb. 9-CUP)-The mighty Casey--the one who swung and Inissed-is no more.
 Death came to Daniel M. Casey, 30, in George Washington hospital last night after 8 long illness which had confined him to bed for many months.
 But as long as baseball is played, Casey may well be the best known player of the past--not for what he did but for what he didn't do. He will be remembered by generations of young boys and baseball fans as the "hero" of poem entitled, Casey At the Bat"
 Casey was 0 well known pitcher in the 1880s and l890s. His historic failure came in Q game against the New York Giants on Aug. 2l, 1887. According to his version of the in- cident, later put Into verse by Ern- est Thayer and popularized by the late De Wolf Hopper. Casey was pitching for Philadelphia, where the game was being played
 Nho6y CdLAAG vV b1u AkA UllC AttoV 1AA2A of the ninth with Philadelphia trail- ing, { to 3, and men on second and third. He let two called strikes go by and on the third pitch, he related later, closed his eyes and swung and missed.
 Good Pitcher
 Although he long ago reconciled himself to being the hero of @ fail- ure, Casey often regretted that friends overlooked his record as @ pitcher. He said he had plenty of steam and 8 good ctlrve-but never could hit the side of his hat and was not the mighty" slugger of "MudWlle" of the poem.
 Thayer wrote the poem as joke, Tn 1888 Hopper recited it in a play, Prince Methusalem," and 1t became nationally known: Sa " '.
 Casey played baseball with Wilm- ington, Indianapolis, Detroit and Philadelphia, and later with Albany, N. Y. Afer retiring from baseball he became a street car conductor in Binghampton, N. F., where he lived for 40 years. Later he moved to Sil- yer Springs, Md, @ suburb of Wash- ington. He always has insisted to interviewers that he actually struck out in the famous game for Mud vile" and that he had a box score to prove it.

Anderson Quintet Stayed Bunker MIIl in Contest For Fifth Place in League
Final Score 16 to 15 in Hot Contest

In the Schoolboy league a fast Anderson quintet beat Bunker Hill in one of the hottest minor league contests yet. Tn the first period Sevigny of Anderson made two baskets in tn eopening minutes of the playon. SeWgny, according to one of my informers, is one of the fastest in the Scholoboy division. He emerged at the end of the first period with six points to his credit. while Cllrrail and Muccino had four apiece. In the second period Joe Ieary stole most of the show by putting in @ beautiful set shot from half the floor shooting Anderson into the lead by score of l2 to 10. The third period was rather uneventful, with Anderson making only four. points to Bunker Hills none. For Anderson, Sevigny made one basket and Dunn made the other. Dunn as well as contributing Q couple of points to the score plyayed an excellent game on the floor. In the fourth and final period Buddy Curran, young and very irn- pressive star for Bunker Hill all season. shot his own score up to eight points to lead the vanquished combine. For Anderson the high men were Sevigny with eight points, Dunn with six, and Leary with two points. While for Bunker Hill Muc- cino and Bedding came in second and third respectively with six and one points. The final score was Anderson l6: Bunker Hill 16.

LANDS, PRICK ITO LEND A HAND,
 FOR PHILLIPS
Club in Bad Financial Com ditiOn; Terry Becomes
 Interested in Club
By PAUL sCHEFFELs ,ltAd Press Stan COrregnOndent

OmhteU ETeBS 6VAH OuTIeSpvnUeut.
 New York, Feb. 9.-(UP)-1tu be President Gerry Nugent against the field today when National League club owners, headed by League Proxy Ford Prick, meet at the Hotel New Yorker to determine the future status of the Philadelphia Phils.
 Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis will preside at the one-sided bout which will find Prick and the re- rnaining team moguls determined to settle the financial future of the hapless Phils. A group of magnates Is believed trying to wrest control of the club, now in dire financial straits, from Nugent and put 1t uIl- der direct authority of the league.
 Nugent, head of the current philal delphia operators, is expected to pro- vide some fireworks. He is battling tooth and natl to retain directorA ship and has stated that he will take the matter to court, if necessary, before he relinquishes control of his club. i -t
 Terry in Charge
 Perennial doormats of the Nation. al League, the Phils are in debt up to their necks. Unless some sort of financial assistance is obtained by Nugent from outside sources, Bill Terry-former first baseman and executive of the New York Giants may be put in charge.
 Terry has shown interest in the club and might take control with the help of friendly monetary iri- terests with the prospect of even. tual ownership.
 Denials, yliinors and assorted aS. sertions have clouded the entire situation but now 1t shapes up like this:
 l. Prick has been leading the fight to gain control of the Phils by the league and has attempted to obtain a quorum of opinion for Q vote on circuit control.
 Owe Plenty
 2. The club is flooded with debts both to the league and reportedly several commercial sources including the rental department of Shibe Park.
 3. The league has laid down Q mandate for Nugent to furnish the cash or else. To ell appearances, he has raised only Q third of the nee. essary total, collecting about 9i6,O0O in the deal which sent Rube Melton to Brooklyn and about 92D, 900 in the swap which put Nick Etten with the New York Yankees.

Things That Ought To Be Changed:

The boys or girls who take up the tickets at the door ought to be reg istered and given instructions not to let certain ones in free unless they have proper credentials.
 The scorekeeper at all minor league ball games and timekeeper as well as referee ought to be ap- pointed and instructed on the rules and ways of administering them. He ought to get proper instruments to administer rules. This is sone- thing for the Park Department to think about, anyway.
