1000 Tons Of Bombs
Land On Ruhr Valleys
Key Industrial Areas

London, June rs. - (UPt
"A mighty fleet of Britain's
biggest bonlbers returned last
night to Wuppertal, half of
which was believed to have
been destroyed in a raid May
20, and dropped more than a
thousand tons of explosives
on the surviving districts OF
that key Ruhr valley indus

The concentrated attack was car
ried out in great strength" and
preliminary reports indicated that
great damage was caused, the air
ministry said. Thirty-three bomb
ers were lost.
Smaller forces made subsidiary
raids on other targets in the Ruhr.
which now has been battered with
upwards Of 1000 tons of bombs
since May %. The damage and cas-
ualties resulting from the raids has
led the German government to order
the evacuation of 100000 civilians
from the area, according to Swiss
reports.
The Berlin radio reported raids
on Remscheid, Solingen Neuss and
Muenchen- Gladbach, all populous
centers within 80 miles of the Wup-
pertal area.
Eberfeld Hit
The bombers concentrated on an
important industrial area of the
western half of Wuppertal, known
as Elberfeld. The initial raid May
90 was directed against the eastern
portion, known as Barmen, and the
air ministry later announced that
reconnaissance showed Barmen had
been practically wiped out.
The weight of bombs, ranging
from two-pound incendiaries to
8,00O-pound super block busters,
unloaded over Elberfeld was nearly
as great as the 1900 tons delivered
to Barmen, the air ministry said.
Targets at Elberfeld include the
huge I. G. Farbenindustrie chemi-
cal works, the Jaeger roller bear
ing works and several important
textile factories, as well as many
smaller industries.
The raid marked the sixth con-
secutive night that the Royal Air
Forces four engined bombers have
pounded targets in Adolf Hitler's
European fortress and brought the
total tonnage of bombs dropped by
British and American planes in this
theater during that period to at

Derringer Marks Up
2O0th Slab Victory;
Warneke Needs 8
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-When the
National League baseball season
opened Paul Derringer and Lon
Warneke were slated for regular
pitching duty with the Chicago Cubs,
thus improving their chances of
moving into the select circle of
hurlers who have won 200 major
league games.
The veterans, in the twilight of
brilliant National League careers,
we're within close range of getting
into the coveted 200 class. But
pitching for the second-division Cubs
they have found the home stretch a
rather rocky road and as the season
progressed, chances for the 200
victory mark for the one-time
mound aces dwindled.
Derringer, who started the season
with 100 wins, was used as a regular
most of the season, but his losses
outnumbered his triumphs, although
he edged toward the 200 figure.
Yesterday big Paul, who will be 81
next month, rang the bell. He beat
New York-3-2 in 10 innings-for
his 10th 1943 success. He has lost IA
Warneke won't make the grade
this season. The Arkansas Hummin'
Bird, who needed IL wins to gain the
200 mark, also beat the Giants yes
terday, 2-1. But the victory was
only the fourth of the year for
Lohnie. who is finishing his 14th
year in the National League. But
Warneke, who is "a, probably will
be around long enough to hang up
eight more wins. He started with
the Cubs in 1881, went to St. Louis
in 1887 and returned to the Cubs in
1912.

The staggering Mats, spanked IN

which they committed no less than
II errors, will attempt to steady
their gait and clinch second place
tonight at Griffith Stadium by
sweeping both ends of twilight
night double-he header with the Cleve-
land Indians.
BY registering double victory the
Mats would make the standings read:
Won. Lost.
Washington - "a 81
Cleveland .------ 79 II
Since the Indians then would have
only four games remaining, the Mats
would inherit the runner-up spot
and the approximate $1,000 per
player it yields in World Series
spoils, happy change from Wash
ington's sorry seventh-place finish
last season.
Niggeling, Haefner to Pitch.
Currently possessing two and one
half game lead over the Indians, the
Mats viii re:y on Johnny Niggeling
and Mickey Haefner to seal second
place. Niggeling and Haefner have
been the only pitchers to win for the
Mats in their last seven games.
Niggeling is the Mats best bet to
nudge them closer to second -place
coin. In five starts for Washington
the slim knuckle-ba specialist has
hurled three shutouts, twice drop
ping 81 decisions in pitching two
hit game, brace of three -hitters, a
tour-hitter and a six-hit contest.
In compiling the seasons finest
pitching record over a fve-game
span Niggeling has permitted only
four runs and has distributed Is hits
over AZ innings. The 38-year-old
right handler pitches only once a
week.
Haefner, a rookie southpaw who
has captured II games, snatched
So decision for Washington's only
triumph in four-game series with
the White SoX and previously
blanked the Yankees on two hits.
Face Sensational Rookie.
Against Niggeling and -Haefner,
Manager Lou Boudreau of the
Indians will pit Vernon Kennedy,
who has beaten the Mats twice in
four starts, anG Ed Kleiman, SEN
sational rookie up from Baltimore
who dropped a 10, ten-inning game
to the Red Sox in his only previous
major league start.
A sweep of the three-game series
by the Indians-there will be a
single game here tomorrow night
would vault Cleveland into second
place, with an 82-69 record to dis
play against what would be an 1910
record for Washington. The ad
vantage then would swing to the
Indians, since they would have three
more games to play and the Mats
two.
Washington will struggle along
without the services of Outf1elder
George Case. who is nursing pulled
muscle in his left thigh. Case still
holds 56-55 lead over Chicago's
Wally Moses in his attempt to top
the base-stealing department for

a foul ball off his own bat on Mon
