 New oYrk, July g. (UP)-The Army and the Navy held an oral knockout victory over the athletic directors of 75 colleges today.
 The A. D.'s were armed with more facts and figures than a collection of D. As yesterday when they opened two-day pow-woW under the auspices of the central office for Eastern intercollegiate athletics. They were ready to argue, among other things, whether teams using navy personnel should be designated as brassknuckle college or brass knuckle naval base and whether varsity awards should be granted to the embryo sailors stationed on their campuses. They also hoped to learn whether there was any chance that the Army would rescind its ban against permitting its soldier students to compete in inter-col- legiate athletics.
 l In the Tank
 Lieut.. Cmdr. E. c. Davis, in charge of the Navy V-12 program in the eastern area, ruined their proposed chin-chopping session. Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, form CT West Point graduate manager of athletics who now directs the fed eral works agency, left them in the dark on the Army ban.
 "The men are not participating in athletics as Navy men-but sim ply as students of the college" Davis advised the directors.
 That statement spoiled the im- pending argument over whether to compete as colleges or naval bases. And it also caused hurried stow ing away of uong prepared rebut- tai over whether these future tars should be given varsity awards.
 Fleming threw no light on the Army athletic situation but did comfort the athletic directors with statement that competitive sports are something the nation should have, particularly in war time"
 "It's a fine thing for soldier or sailors background because it teaches timing, team work, aggres- siveness and the will to win,' he said. "It's something they should have. The names of former sports stars who have made good are le- gion-such men as Blondy Saunders, a hero in the Southwest Pacific, and Rosy O'Donnell. Being leaders in sports couldn't help but assist them in becoming military leaders.
 Sports aren't licked" he added. They'll probably be all right if you limit your ticket sales to your own locality and avoid unnecessary travel'
 H. Jamison SWarts of Penn, in line with this advice, suggested the following wartime economies to keep sports-particularly football going for the Guration:
 Shorter trips, smaller squads, elimination of motion pictures of games, curtailment of scouting, . less impressive manner of travel restriction of coaching personnel and procurement of accommoda- tions close to the site of games for visiting teams.
 The athletic directors wind up their convention today with John B. Kelly, chairman of the Federal Security Agency's Physical Fitness committee. and Pennsylvania Con- eressman Samuel A. Weiss as prin- cipal speakers. And If the former Olymnic oarsman and the stateman can hit the nail on the head as well as the general and the commander, it promises to be short and sweet session. for the Army and the Navy left the boys very little to discuss.

SC0v|LL'S WILLIE. .E N I KY YET TO LOSE IN LEAGUE

Winners of all three games played in the Dusty Twilight Baseball League to date, Packy Shea's Wa terville-Scovill combination estab- lished itself as the team to beat for top honors in the popular after supper diamond loop. Last night, the Shea squad tangled with Howie Kraft's E. R. A. handymen in an all-Scovill game which was featured by the one-hit pitching of Francis Fahy who shut out the enemy 10; though Thompson held the winners to five hits in the seven inning game.
 Brickel's hit through the infield was stopped by second baseman Periello in the final inning bu the first bag was left uncovered on the play, Brickel arriving safely, when the second baseman had to hold the ball. Summary:

 NOTES
 For the first time this season baseball fans at Fulton park will be able to see all four teams from that section in action in the same double bill when the Lads, Cadets, Looks, and Caissons perform for their ben eft. It seems that H. Cooke Ct., diamonds are the breeding place for the better young ball players of the city since three of the teams from that vicinity are, battling it out for top position in the Sunday circuit, while the fourth is the most trouble some team in the entire loop.
 The big game on the books for this week will be the meeting be- tween the Cadets and Overlooks in the feature attraction at Fulton Park. Due to their record of six consecutive triumphs the Cadets will be favored to topple the Looks, who will be minus their ace left handler, Johnny Denardo, for the titular clash. The Overlooks have been pointing all season for this contest and if their twirler, Joe Pope, is given any support they will be in position to upset the lead- CTS and create a tie for the top posi- tion.
 Although the Bouley ManorS came up with an entirely new team for their tilt with the Pine Hills Sun day, they were defeated when Bill Davino tWirled nifty one hit job for the Hillies. Jimmy Piersall. who was expected to be in a Rouley Manor uniform, turned up playing with the Sacred Hearts of the City Amateur League.
 Speaking of the City League. it seems that the managers of clubs in that circuit have finally realiZ- cd the possibilities of many of the younger players from the Parks loop since Bil Cavanaugh of the Cadets and Joe Mccarthy of the Hill Jrs. helped Scovill's notch their third consecutive triumph in their contest with the Avigs. Joe Smith of the Cadets is performing regularly with the Clock nine of the Dusty loop while Julio San toro of the Enkcors showed his wares with the Sacred Hearts.
 Many local fans are wondering why the Silver Stars, who are playing twilight ball about the city, did not enter the Parks loop. At the start of the season the Stars did not have the same squad that performs under their name at the present and could easily have entered tke league. Their present lineup contains the names of many players who now perform in the Park circuit and 1t is diff cult for Park teams to book games with the Stars since some of the players of the better league teams are members of both squads The Overlooks will oppose the Stars in the very near future if present

St. Lucy's SoftboII JUNIOR SOFTBALL LEAGUE
 Bulldogs Beat BisOns 7-2

The hardest fought contest of the present season was brought to a close by the powerful bats of the new Bulldog team in the top of the eleventh inning.
 The Bulldogs were new team in many ways today. Once again they appeared with new lineup but this time there was no question at all but what they had a good team in the field.
 The BiSons played their usual tough game and it came as quite a shock to see their tight defense crumble under the Bulldog attack after staMding up so well through out the long hot morning of play.
 Rinaldi and Yorke collected two hits apiece for the Easton avenue boys and came home for run each
 Captain Mike Martone was terrific as usual in the outfield and at bat came through with the best Bison hit double to center field.
 Hallenborg for the Bulldogs pitch ed excellent ball and managed to get to first base five times out of the six times he was at bat. He put one over the fence for a two base hit in the third inning a feat which his teammate Anthony Richard duplicated in the eleventh.
 The fiaSco in the eleventh came after a hard pressed Bison team had pushed two runs home in the seventh to even the score and cause the game to go into overtime inning. Neither team yielded an inch from then on retiring one man after an- other in speedy fashion.
 In the disastrous last inning every Bulldog but zinolli reached first safely. Gugliot i, Hallenborg. Rosa, Lorton and Dzieznssi on errors, Ma turo, Massimo and Richard by hit ting safely. -t was a real headache for the BiSons.

VAN ROBAYS BAT BIG HELP. TO
 PITT PIRATES
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, July 29.-CUP)-In the general hullabaloo over veteran pitcher Rip Sewell's 16 triumphs for Pittsburgh, the outstandin gwork of outfielder Maurice Van Robays has been almost ignored.
 Sewen, without a doubt, has been the clubs outstanding individual performer in propelling the Bucs in- to second place in the National league. But Van Robays ranks right beneath him. Maury played in only one game for the Pirates early in the season and then was Shuttled to Toronto, reportedly be- cause of a difference of opinion with Manager Frankie Frisch.
 Van Bobays batter BOT with the Maple Leafs and led the Interna- tional league in hits until he was recalled. He made his return on July Is and the Pirates have gone like a house afire ever since, win ming 12 of IT games, including last nights 8-3 tilt with the Giants.
 The batWork of Van Robays since his return has been the most out standing in the majors. In 8 kames he has slammed out 23 hits and driven in 13 runs for a bat ting mark of .359, best in both leagues.
 He collected a pair of singles in four trips as the Pirates moved intot he runner-up spot last night before 29,585 at Pittsburgh. Sewell backed by a 14-hit attack, coasted to his 10th straight victory and 18th of the year.
 Dodgers Drop Two
 Chicago dumped the Dodgers into third place by tallying twin victory, 8-7, ell innings) and Az Stu Martins single sent in the win ming run in the first game and Ed Wyse won his first victory of the year with seven-hit job in the finale.
 The Phillies made new Manager Freddy Fitzsimmons' debut a suc- cessful one by snapping the 11-game winning streak of the Cardinals, GA, in a night game. Schoolboy Rowe and Lloyd Dietz scattered eight Cardinals hits.
 Boston at Cincinanti was post poned.
 In the American league, Mel Harder held the Yankees to five hits as Cleveland defeated the New Workers, 6-2, butt he exhibition tilt between the "Yanklands" and the North Carolina Pre-Flight squad drew most of the attention.
 The Cloudbusters walloped the combined Yankee-Indian squad, managed by Babe Ruth, 11-5. More than 27,000 fans roared the loudest when the former slugger collected a walk in the role of pinch hitter in the sixth.
 Johnny Sain, former Braves pitcher, went the route for the Pre- Flight squad and held the major league outfit to eight hits. Boston knocked off Detroit twice, Al and GA. Oscar Judd won his 10th decision with a five-hit chore in the first game. A four-run 9th inning cinched the verdict in the nightcap.
 Home runs by Chet Laabs and George McQuinn featured the Browns 5-l decision over the Ath- letics in an after-dark contest.
 The White Sox collected a total of 21 hits to trounce the Senators, 12-7, in anight game.
 Outfielder Guy Cartwright of the SoX was felled by Pitcher Alex Carrasquel in the 8th inning. One of Carrasquels pitches struck Curt wright in the head and he was knocked unconscious. After re- ceiving first aid he was removed on stretcher to a nearby hospital for observation.

$95,OOO, 'BigInch' Being Constructed By Plumbers

Members of the United AssOcia- ton of Plumbers and Steamfitters are playing an important role i'll the construction of the ''big inch'' war emergency pipeline which is being built to bring oil from the Texas fields to fuel-hungry and gas-famished East.
 Members of the union are actively engaged in work along the entire pipe line which has been completed to Illinois. When finished, it will be the largest single line in the country and perhaps in the world. It is designed to carry 300,000 barrels of oil day.
 Plumbers and Steamftters make up the backbone of the workers speeding the line eastward. One of the most important factors in the unusual speed with which the line is being biIt is the labor management cooperative spirit. Vet eran pipeIiners, long attached to individual contractors Organiza- tiOns, form the nucleus of each gang of workers.
 This 24-inch pipe line is huge undertaking. When completed in June it will form two-foot steel tunnel, stretching 1,400 miles from Long View, Texas, to New York and .Phila- delphia. Complete with 25 pumping stations, it will cost the Defense Plant Corporation about $95,000,00O. The first through shipment of oil will take IA days for the journey.
 Construction is being directed by
