Editors NOte-The views and
opinions expressed herein do not
necessarily reflect the editorial
policy of this paper, but are en-
tireIy those of the writer.

AS this column is being written,
the radios are blasting away with
the news that Mussolini has been
canned and the King of Italy is
back in the groove. Just turn the
dial a little, and prestol we hear a
lot of nice things being said about
the Italians--a nation that screamed
with delight when their leader
stabbed France in the back. when
they marched into Greece and
starved the popu1ace, and when
they boosted that they would bring
America and her allies to their
knees.

the Owls, back in their own park
again, and with the catching situa-
ton apparently improved by the adj
dition of Wapinski, have a good
chance to gain on Wilmington, who
are here for three game series, so
don't be surprised if the league
leadership changes hands several
times during the next month, with
the Owls finally coming out on top.
In the Major Leagues it looks as
if our predictions are going a little
sour. The Yankees and the Cards
are pulling further away every day,
while our choices, the Senators and
the Dodgers, are slipping fast. But
neither team is SO far behind that a
winning streak couldn't put them
right back in the running again and
we haven't given up yet.
Over in Chicago, the $4,000 open
golf championship went to the vet
eran jug McSpaden, after a play-off
with rookie Buck White. White
finished the first nine holes of the
play-off 36-S7, but on the last nine
McSpaden had 81, while White
had to be content with another par
SO.
Gunder Haegg, the Swedish run
ner, now that he has become accli-
matized, is proving beyond the shad-
ow of doubt, to be a champion of
champions. While he won all of his
earlier starts here, there had been
nothing sensational about his time,
but over at the Harvard stadium in
Cambridge, Mass, last Saturday, he
really turned on the heat.
Running against Boston's Gill
Dodd and Bill Hulse of New York
University, Haegg ran the mile in
4:05.3, cutting IA seconds from the
former American record of Glenn
Cunningham, made nine years ago
The past weekend took care of a
lot of things. Orval Grove, sensa-
tional pitching rookie of the White
Sox, lost his first game of the season
Sunday, after winning nine straight
when the Yankees beat him 6-3.
The coaching staff of the Cleve-
land Indians, who decided not tc
shave until the teams winning
streak was broken, got a chance tc
use their razors Sunday when the
Senators beat them To, in the sec.
ond game of a double header, after
the Indians had taken the first game
to run their win streak to seven.
Finally, Sunday saw strange CO.
incidence in the Major League dou-
BILE headers. In the American
League, all teams split, except Bos-
ton, which took two from St. Louis
while in the National League, all
winning teams won double headers
except Cincinnati and Philadelphia

ROllback of Vegetable Prices.

Effective July 20, a rollback of
about rs per cent in the price of let
tuce and SO per cent in the price of
cabbage was ordered by the OPA.
This was the first step in a program
to cut back the excessive prices of
fresh fruits and vegetables to keep
the cost of living down.

These softies who say that Hitler

wrong. They'll fight only so long

One thing is certain--Musso en-
joyed the hay-ride while it lasted.
But on Sunday the Allies put too
much stuff on the ball and he folded
up like an ironing board. Now we
hear he is prisoner in Italy, which
has all the ear-marks of a Kaiser
exit. If the unconditional surren-
der program is to be carried through
as per schedule (and Tn sure it
will be- then Eisenhower ought to
tag on an extra condition, namely:
That the Italian nation deliver Old
Musso in the flesh, pronto. If not,
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1943-07-29

So don't go for this fight-to-the-
death stuff. Hitler and TOTO will
join Old Musso-and I'll stick my
neck cut by saying it won't be as
long as most folks believe.

For some unknown reason / al
ways look on the humorous side of
the situations-even when the Bat
tie AK timidly reminds me that
spilling coffee on a clean table cloth
isn't so good, or when | stagger

ing of Four Roses. And so l can see
how funny this Mussolini has been
all along, and what suckers the
Italians have been for the past 81
years.

Boo-boos what a great man he was
and what an indestructible nation

The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1943-07-29

OF course everyone knew that
Musso was bum and a rat, and
would go the way of all braggarts.
But, I'm wondering what the Ital-
ians would be doing today if condi-
tions were reversed?
