81 American Soldiers
Hold Off 20 Tanks
On Hill in Sicily
4Y the Assnciated Pres

By the Associated Press.
WITH AMERICAN INVASION
TROOPS AT NISCEMI, Sicily, July
13 Delayed. There was hell on
Hill Al that morning when the in
fantry took on German tank at
tack with one lone antitank gun.
That's what the boys of the sec
ond battalion of an American in
fantry regiment will tell you when
ever Hill Al is mentioned The
enemy counterattacked on three
sides with at least 20 tanks The
tanks over-ran the hill, but the men
held on and then put in counter
attack.
Il swear I never saw anything like
it." said Capt Robert Irvine of
birmingham, Mass You're sup
posed to have antitank guns against
tanks and you're not supposed to
fight them with your hands but
that's almost what we had to do.
Fought With Pistols.
II saw tanks knocked out by NOR
tars. I saw men stand up in their
slit trenches and shoot pistols and
grenades at them One man even
threw an antitank rifle grenade at
a tank from close range and he set
1t afire.
Who was outstanding in the
fight? That would be hard to say
1t was sort of family affair"
The men praised Capt. Edward
F. Wozenski of Terryville, Conn,
for the manner in which he fought.
"A tank went over my foxhole
once" he said. but then it seems
to me that tanks went over almost
every ones foxhole. Once there
were eight tanks within Is yards
of me. Troops were shooting pistols.
rifles, tommyguns and throwing
hand grenades at them at close
range.
81 Men Hold Out.
Some of the men ran off when
the tanks came in on them l
wanted to take off, too. but then
my men were looking at me and
couldn't run In fact I didn't
know what to do so I stayed
At the height of the battle about
noon there were As men and off,
GERS on Hill Al and they couldn't
be knocked off
When the battalion commander
was wounded by machinegun bull
let, Capt Bryce F. Demo of Long
Island took over the command and
carried on the fight.
Capt. Demo managed to get one
37-mm. gun onto the hill and he
helped man it during the fight.

Mr., Browns position is supported
by Transportation Director Joseph
B. Eastman, concerned with the
strain put on railroads and buses by
the gradual removal of autos from
the travel picture.
Mr.. Ickes argues he must have
large stocks on hand because the
armed forces sometimes call on him
for immediate delivery of huge
amounts of oil, dropping their de-
mands like bomb and without
advance notice"
Mr.. Brown finds large stocks add
to his headache, because the clamor
of motorists for greater allowances
rises IN proportion to the rise in
stored supplies in their localities.

New York, July 13-Now that they have strengthened out to some ex- tent, you hear the question: What was wrong with the Cubs?"
 "I dunno says Jimmy Wilson.
 Perhaps that the answer If the manager doesn't know, how is he going to make repairs?
 The Chicagos have an unusual record. They have, for example, broken even with the Cardinals in IA starts and went into the Polo Grounds this trip without victory over the Giants, who supplanted them as tail-enders. The Giants had won five from the Cubs. The Wrigleys have bagged eight straight from the Braves who are very an- moving to everybody else. And when Claude Passeau overpowered the other twilight, it marked his first victory at Ebbets Field since 1941 and the Cubs first this season.
 Nine straight defeats on the first eastern swing set the Cubs back on their heels.
 It may be significant that things took on a brighter hue with the return of Clyde Mccullough, catcher of the Gaby Hartnett type. He went out early in the go- ing with a broken ankle.
 In the first 10 games lost by the Cubs, they scored first in 12, led past the fifth inning in seven and beyond the eighth in five.
 Wilson figures they should have won II of the IA with the Cardinals, but on four occasions something happened in the eighth or ninth. A Sunday double header before 30,0OO people, their largest crowd of the campaign, during the last stand at home hurt. The Cubs were ahead. 2-1, in the ninth and were beaten, 3-2. Then they were ahead, 3-2, with two out in the eighth and were beaten, 4-3. Defeats of that kind take mora out of an outfit than a sound shellacking.
 Things became 50 bad that fans got to hanging from the outfield

 The Cubs long have been noted for making poor deals. One Chi cago newspaper published what ex- Cubs, such as Billy Herman, Dolph Camilli, Curt Davis and Augie Galan of the Dodgers, accomplished the previous day. Then, to prove that everybody in Chicago hadn't lost his sense of humor, another newspaper printed what ex-Cubs were doing in a different way. Hack Wilson tended bar in Baltimore" read this daily's account. Bob Sturgeon was late for reveille," etc.
 Here is club with pitching, power and a skillful inf1eld. It was expected to go somewhere, and un- doubtedly will make up a lot of lost ground
 That is if Jimmy Wilson finds out what is wrong with the Cubs the next time they go into protracted slump.

New Haven. Conn, July 13. - (UP) Reggie Root. former Yale football coach. received an ap- pointment today from the New Haven Board of Education as ath- letic director of Hillhouse High school, and hoped to combine the job with scouting duties for the Yale football team.

Pittsburgh, July 13. - (UP) - Fritzie Vivic, former welterweight champion and one of the fighting brothers, today apparently had inn proved with age.
 The Pittsburgher looked. like any thing but fighter approaching 30 as he pummeled Jake Lamotta of New York last night to win a split decision in their 15-round bout.
 The referee, Ernie Sesto of Pitts burgh, and one of the judges voted in favor of the pug-nosed Fritzie while the other judge gave the Bronxite the nod. The United Press score sheet gave Zivic eight rounds, lamotta five and called two even.
 zivic, who scaled 151 to Lamotta's 157 l-2, came into the ring a ' to 5 underdog. But he peppered Jake with sharp lefts throughout the fight to reverse the decision the New Yorker won over him a month ago. SPORTS-Star-Gn Box SCORE
