Patriotism Tested

Then. OF course. there are
those who have adequate hous-
ing or who have no transporta-
ton problems but still they quit.
Some frankly admit they do not
like their jobs. So they quit.
There is a compelling patriotic
reason why Willow Run should
go full blast and equal all the
predictions made for IL. But so
far that message has not been
put across.
There is important work 10
be done there and perhaps the
Truman committee can find
some way 10 solve the complex
situation.

Miscues and Weather
Leave Browns Dizzy,
Tied for 9Th Place
HoIf Of II Comes Lost
This Season Have Been
From Errors, Posses
BY the Associated Press

bS INC HSSOclhIPQ PRESS.
ST. LOUIS, May 26.-To the left
is the devil of errors: to the right
the deep. blue sea of bad weather.
Squarely in the middle are the st
Louis Browns, who open three
game series with the Senators at
| Washington tonight.
On a 27-game road trip. those
none uncomfortable athletes stand
tied with Chicago for sixth place in
the American League. and the rea
sons for that tie give Manager Luke
SeWell the shakes.
That ailment evidently extends to
the entire team. for of IL games lost
thus far have been messed up bv
errors or bases on balls-sometimes
by both.
The prize OF them all was last
Friday. Johnny Niggeling had a no.
hitter for seven innings. In the
eighth the first man singled, the
second walked, the third sacrificed
and a run was scored on a sacrifice
fly That tied the score, IL.
The fifth batter swung futilely at
a third strike. But Catcher Rick
F'errell grabbed with even more
futility as the second and winning
counter crossed the plate.
The Browns first trimming came
April 20 from the Detroit Tigers.
Sd Yet, the Tigers collected but
three hits.
BY May 9 anything could happen.
Leading 81 going into the eighth.
Niggeling allowed two runs and
then walked the first batter in the
ninth. That runner and another
scored to tie the count. The Browns
lost in the 14th.
And so it goes.
Sewell isn't discouraged. though.
He'll point out the Browns are but
3'a games behind league leading
Cleveland and he's had nine games
postponed, leaving him five less
played than the Indians.
Those five may mean consider

Orioles Selling Going
Back 10 Defense Work
Loss Of Popular Utility
Player Is Heavy Blow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Just as the Baltimore Oriole fans
were all set to watch their infeld
calm down with the return of the
veteran Hal Sieling to third base
the utility player told Manager
Tommy Thomas he was leaving the
club June l to return to war work.
Sieling. who started the season in
the outfield. came with rush after
being returned to his favorite infield
spot last week end.
The Orioles pepper pot has ac-
cepted a position with an aircraft
company near his California home
and will leave shortly. Although the
news of his leaving came too sud-
denly to give Sieling, one of the fan
favorites on the Oriole roster, a
day" a huge turnout is expected
tonight when the Birds return home
from a long road trip.
Sieling is married and the father
of son. He spent the past winter in
a defense plant and Baltimore Off
cials have known for some time
that he was interested in returning

Saratoga Racing Ban
Appeal Is Denied
By State Heads
Action to Conserve Tires,
Cos Is Held to Include
Harness Competition
B. he Associated Press.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 26.-A de-
cisiVe mo" was New Yorks answer
today to appeals for reconsideration
of its ban on Saratoga racing this
summer.
After conference with Sarato
Springs officials and Federal repre-
sentatives, James c. Hagerty, Gov.
Dewey's executive secretary, said:
The Federal Government has re-
quested the State of New York to
cooperate in the conservation OF
tires and gasoline. The State will
continue to do so"
Hagerty, whose report to Dewey
several weeks ago resulted in clos
ing the Saratoga track. joined yes
terday with w. M. Leigh. supervisor
of tires and tubes under National
Rubber Administrator William M.
Jeffers and H. P. Hufstader of the
OPA mileage rationing division in A.
conference at the Spa with a COM
mittee of local civic and business
organizations.
Hagerty reported Leigh and Huf-
stader found Saratoga ''inaccessi-
BILE within the meaning Of mileage
rationing regulations and of the
opinion reopening of the Spa s thor
oughbred and harness racing tracks
would result in unnecessary use Of
gasoline and tires.
Hagerty said the conference fol-
lowed the committees requested re-
consideration of the ban and trans
fer OF Saratoga's August card to
Metropolitan New York track.
Although Hagerty's report dealt
only with the thoroughbred race
track. Oldest in the Nation, it was
understood the ban also would apply
to harness racing at the Saratoga
Raceway.

Iecting to the expected removal of
Police 1t. John j. Agnew from the
District Boxing Commission. is be-

the District Commissioners leaked
out before all details were settled. Ir
fact. AgneW knows nothing ofTicia
about it and up to this morning
had not been asked for his resiena-
ton. about the only way to remove
boxing commissioner. Reasons for
his removal are vague, the only
one being that the District Commits

for two-year term last May. His
term still has a year to run, but if
his Superiors hint that his resigna-
tion would be appreciated it is
understood he would hand it in. His
services on the Boxing Commission
generally have been satisfactory, and
the petition. while objecting to his
removal, really is tribute to his
work. 1t is signed by boxers, mana
