LIMIT MAY Be
CONFINED TO
IS PLAYERS
BY DONALD COE

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)
Allied Headquarters, North Africa,
Aug. 23..-(UP)-Original plan to
have two all-star major league ball
teams tour the Mediterranean war
theater this autumn may be changed
to provide for only one team, be-
cause of the transportation short
age.
If this change is made, the tour
ing team Of all-stars would play all
star soldier teams in TIE various To-
calities. Originally 1t was planned
to have two all-star major league
teams play each other in series
Of exhibitions, with service men as
spectators.
1t Is certain that the number Of
players brought from the United
States will be pared to the bone. In
keeping with Gen. Dwight d. Eisen-
hower's restricted approval.
No Large Groups
Eisenhower consistently has ap-
proved plans for the entertainment
of his troops, but he has not been
willing to sacrifice necessary trans
portation for large numbers Ct en-
tertainers. That Is the reason for
the emphasis on small units - even
to one-man shows, such as Al
Schacht, the baseball comedian, who
has been giving five or more per-
formances daily at North African
hospitals, air bases and ports.
Schacht hopes to go to Sicily soon.
The touring major league squad
probably will be restricted to 1s
men, preventing any reserves for
two teams. The team would play
all-star soldier outfits, selected
through elimination tournaments
among the service leagues now oper-
ating in Mediterranean areas.
These service teams can provide
robust opposition, for they include
many professional and semi-pro
players who have kept up training
since joining the army or navy.

HARTFORD wins
AS PITCHER, "A,
THRILLS FANS
BY WILLIAM ID. CLARK
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 23-(UP)-
When 44-year-old Sam Lyman turn
ed the key in the door of his drug
store Sunday and headed for the
ball park his intentions were to
spend a quiet afternoon, and his
hopes were that Hartford would
knock Wilkes-Barre and get out of
sixth place in the Eastern League.
What he didn't know at the time
was that he was walking right into
baseball's Hall Of Fame.
When Sam arrived at the park,
he sensed something was amiss. 1t
seemed that of Hartford's five pitch
ers, none was on the field, it was
game time and manager Del Bis
sonette was about to call off the
game.
Back in the 20's Sam was a fire
ball pitcher in the old Eastern lea
que for Allentown, Georgetown and
Albany, he figured he still was in
good shape, so went over to Bison
nette and offered his services.
Bissonnette was desperate enough
to listen to him.
Sam, he said, do you think you
can last a couple of minutes until
those other guys show up?"
Confident
"You bet," replied Sam, "Just give
me contract to make this legal and
I'll pitch your ball game"
Bissonette was slightly relieved
but wholly skeptical as he turned
to the bat boy and told him to "go
over to Mr.. Hyman's house and get
his equipment"
Well, Sam got In there and started
to work. And the boys from Wilkes
Barre got set for field day.
When the first inning passed
scorelcss they figured 1t just bit
of luck. Then the same thing hap
pened in the second inning and the
Baros showed signs of worry.
To make long story short, Sam
pulled the game out of the fire for
Hartford 80, and the fans-to say
nothing of Bissonnette went wild.
Sam, of course, was proud of what
he had done, but, he said later, he
had formula for success.
"Just relax" he said. 1.-THE trouble
with nine out of ten pitchers today
is that they don't know how to take
it easy. They get themselves all
nerved up and lose control. They
should learn to relax and take 1t
easy.

Horse-race fans still were arguing
today over the controversial win
scored at Narragansett park Satur-
day by Joan Beattie's Timothy c.
to bring New England's biggest
daily double of the season-$2312.
Many who viewed the picture of
the finish believed that Timothy c,
payingf1 $138.80 for 50, ran a dead
heat with Old River.
However, among those certain
Timothy c won were holders of 19

Jessup, Williams
At Hartford

Hartford, August %. - Lucrative
matches with Terry Young and an
unnamed lightweight are in store
tor the winner of Tuesday nights
ten-round bout between Tommy Jes-
sup and Ike Williams. This match
between the hard-hitting Springfield
lad and New Yorker who has also
been cutting brilliant path through
the lightweight division heads a
card to be unfolded at the Auditori-
UNI outdoor Arena.
Promoter Lou Viscusi would not
reveal the name OF the proposed
opponent whom he plans to pair
with the victor of the match be-
tween Tuesdays winner and Young.
But he did term him one of the
best lightweights on the loose to-
day.
That Jessup has the kick of a
mule in his fists is attested by his
record, which is freely sprinkled
with knockouts. He has strung 26
victims on his kayo rack, winning
20 of 80 bouts. Having lost only
three fights, it is significant that
he has been kayoed himself twice,
once by Henry Armstrong. 1ndicat-
ing strong desire to knock his
opponents block eff, Or get knocked
out in the process. The other
splotch on his record is a TKO Gre
dited to Carmine Fatta under be-
clouded circumstances. Fatta adj
mittedly had Jessup in a bad way
in their joust, with the noise of the
crowd being such that the referee
did not hear the bell. He actually
stopped the fight after the bell, utter
confusion reigning for a while after
the timer notified the ref Of his
mistake.
Meanwhile, Jessup had gone to his
dressing room and dressed. AS a
result, Fatta was ready to reappear
in the ring to continue the fight,

The formation of blood clots within the
larper blood vessels is one of the serious
hazards of surgery. When blood vessel
is injured, and particularly when there is
also infection present, clot is apt to form
in it. This is called thrombus. Thrombi
that develop in the larger veins have a
tendency to extend within the vessel, and
finally attain such size that parts break

Of clot may be carried through the heart to

Emboli may lodge in the arteries to the

Normally, dogs blood coagulates in

they had swallowed the dicoumarin their
blood required double the normal amount
of time to clot: This was hopeful, promising.
The drug was doing what the research men
had hoped it would do
Dog after dog got the drug. Enough facts
were assembled to clear the way for human
trials. In the Mayo Clinic it was tried on
70 cases of pulmonary embolism. According
to medical statistics at least dozen deaths
might have been expected in this group.
Actually there were only two deaths: one
from uremia, the other from clot that had
grown to massive proportions before the
drug was administered.
Mayo clinicians used the drug on 1853
patients. Clots occurred in only three
after the drug had taken effect. Similar
work was carried on in Buffalo. N. Y, with
equally good results.
speedy Rscovsziss
ONE of the most spectacular series of cases
came from the Sahgrenska Hospital, Goth
enburg, Sweden. The drug was used on 100
cases of thrombosis of the veins of the leg.
Patients recovered in one to three weeks,
instead of having to spend as much as two
months in bed while the painful swelling
subsided. In this same hospital the drug was
used on ITO women who had undergone
various abdominal operations. There was
but one case of thrombosis, and one mild
case of embolism - and no deaths.
The evidence seems to indicate that the
drug has the power to prevent thrombosis
and embolism. 1t apparently achieves this
by reducing the amount of prothrombin
in the blood. This is one of the bloods clot-
ting factors. There is some suggestive evil
dence that the drug has the power to dis
solve clots that have already formed. But
more work will be necessary before this is
completely cleared up.
Another point naturally arises. Isn't the
drug dangerous? Can't it cause the same
type of hemorrhage in men that it causes
in cattle? Yes, unless it is used by men who
thoroughly understand the drug. Individual
responses to dicoumarin vary. One person
will react to small dose, another to large.
