from behind with two runs in the
ninth inning to annex the after

Majors Cant Muster
Players for Late
War-zone Tour

An indefinite delay in the major
leagues projected all-star tour of
the Pacific war area was imposed
yesterday, it was reported by the
Associated Press, as the War De-
partment announced conditions
make the mission "inadvisable at
this time"
Probability that the tour may be
cancelled was injected into COM
munication from Maj. Gen. Alex
ander D. Surles, director of the
Army Bureau of Public Relations, to
Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, which said in part
that the date of departure of the
overseas group would be delayed
for a considerable period"
1t was believed the all-star groups,
comprising 18 players from the
American League and 18 more from
the National League, plus Managers
Joe Cronin and frankie Frisch, two
trainers and two league representa-
tiVes, were scheduled to leave late
this month.
Trip Appears Unlikely.
While the War Departments rul-
ing said only that there would be
a considerable delay, the action ap-
peared likely to torestall any trip
of the proposed proportions this
winter.
The season ends tomorrow and
major league officials pointed out
that the players would scatter to
their homes Immediately They not
only would not be in condition to
play a major league brand OF base
ball if the tour were restored later,
but many of them are expected to
take war jobs and some seem GER
tain to be inducted into military
service in the father draft
Four Washington players were
selected on the American League
SQUAD, Outlelders George Case and
Stan Spence, Pitcher Dutch Leon
ard and Catcher Jake Early having
accepted invitations to make the
trip.
Maj. Gen. Surles' communication
to Lands said, Il regret the necess-
ity CT informing you that the War
Department is forced to delay the
date of departure of the overseas
group for a considerable period.
Delay is Regretted.
Increased activities in the Pa
cific have created greater demands
upon transportation than was an
ticipated. The uncertainties which
have resulted seem to make the tour
lnadVlsable at this time.
Let me assure You again, how
ever, of the War Department
appreciation of the desire of the
baseball players and officials to be
of service to the troops overeeas"
To this Lands replied. "Of course
we all greatly regret that conditions
beyond our control have rendered
the tour inadviSable at this time.
Il know the War Department has
given this thing earnest co-opera-
ton in an effort to provide the
transportation and facilities which
would have been required to &C
comolish its objectives. We are
deeply appreciative of these efforts"

Jeffra has had three fights since

Billy Banks. Last week in New York
he decisioned Davey Crawford. Be-
cause of his boxing skill and ring
experience Jeffra is being quoted an
So choice over Cockfeld. Jeffra
showed here against Banks that he
still is a very fancy puncher, al
though his blows carry little steam,
and that he is hard to hit.
If Cockfield can catch him it NAV
spell trouble for the Baltimore boy,
however. Jimmy, while lacking JET
ira s skill, is a strong boy who wades
in and shows willingness to trade
punches. He put up a good fight
against Danny Petro, but stopped
one left hook too many and went
down in the ninth round. In later
fight he redeemed himself by chill

the Giants scored twice on three

The Cards gave White perfect
