 As The Ship Sailed Down The Bay,

 We have felt the sadness of leaving
 down the Bay
 Old Coney, disappearing; would we
 see it again some day? You tried to be cheerful, because
 you had to do your part; You knew 1t might be forever, but
 you had made the start. As you plunged into the Atlantic
 you felt old oceans waves; You offered life to do little, and
 your free ideals to save. So, while such thoughts Oppress,
 tears are in your eyes; You have left all you hold dear;
 hope is your only prize. This was a stern experience you
 never can forget You faced fates cheerfully, bravely
 without regret You saw the bombs in Paris and
 the torn up way You went to many funerals. but
 fate lett you to stay. We have seen world war two; we
 have felt the pain Of wars many troubles, bravely
 meeting it again; We must do more than ever to
 prove our hearts are true; We must defend all freedom, and
 make the world anew. ONr Leaders had the brains and
 hearts to show the way; We must still go forward-our Flag
 will gain the day. Our Founders had the viSion-a
 great land of the Free; Our aims are worth more than life,
 all true souls agree. Free life for everyone, what he
 wishes 1t to show As our laws expand the truth, our
 liberty must grow. Let every lover of liberty know

Game Though Short
Two Men

The rampaging Firemen added
another game to their string to
inch closer to the first-place Coast
Guards by winning free-hitting
softbsll game, 1913 from The Coast
Line ten Monday. The Firemen are
now a half game in the lead, but
are several percentage points be
hind the Guards, in the avera sc
count.
The Firemen played the game
with only eight men, yet mana g.
ed to win because of their solid
blows and errors on the part OF
the Railroaders. The Firenen
scored in every inning except one,
and were leading in the fourth
50. In the last of the fourth the
Railroaders batted around and
scored 7 runs before the Redlegs
could put out the blaze. The score
remained ga in favor of the Coast
Line until the sixth. and it looked
like the boys would pin up an
other win against the Firemen.
The Firemen scored 3 runs in
the sixth and in the seventh to
ease through to the one run win

Berlin admission that southern
Calabria was gone was made in a
tone which attempted to discount
the entire present Italian oper-
ations and to anticipate far heavi-
er Allied thrusts elsewhere.
Fol days the Germans h av e
been casting about trying to OBJ
tain some intimation as to which
of the tremendous Allied forces
in the Mediterranean was going
to lunge against them next. Those
forces comprise all or parts of
seven United Nations armies. They
are the American Fifth and Sew
enth Armies; the British Eighth,
part of which is already in ac-
ton, the British Ninth, Tenth,
and First Armies, and the COM
bined French forces, which have
been promised share in the in
vasion Of France.
Almost any Mediterranean oper-
alton would involve airborne fore
es and today, Maj. Gen. William
C. Lee, commander of an air
borne division, told a press con-
ference in London that American
airborne forces are now ready to
carry their full share of invasion
operations 'in any part of the
world
He added that the Americans
and their allies had formed para
chute and glider units which will
surpass anything t h Germans
have used up to this time
The BIC, meanwhile told the
French: eve have learned that
the Germans are circulating in
spired rumors that we are con-
centrating armies on our coasts
with the intentions of invading the
continent. Take no notice, as these

the Germans were reported to have

gia Calabria and Scilla. formed a
triangular wedge inland.
Among the villages captured
were Calanna, San Roberto, Flu
mara, Santa Lucia, Rosali, San
Rocco, Musuala, la Ganadl and
Santo Alessio.
The invasion proceeded slowly,
methodically and cautiously over
rugged and varied terrain of
mountains. valley and thick wood
favorable for defense. The area is
thick with tunnels, bridges and
culverts, and the very extensive
demolitions of these slowed the
British Eighth Army and the Ca
nadians far more than enemy fire
power.
Reinforcements and maintenance
forces shuttled across the Messina
straits under the watchful war
ships fluttering Allied ensigns.
On this fourth day of the inva-
sion of Europe proper across the
moat of the Messina strait, three
paramount questions still were
unanswered
l. Where was the superb Ameri-
can Seventh Army of Gen. George
S. Patton, Jr?
2. Will the Italians attempt more
than token resistance, or contin.
ue to surrender with alacrity?
3. Where will the main body of
German troops be encountered?
The answer to the third question
may be battered Naples, which
appeared to be heavily fortified.
Naples is 1875 airline miles north
of Messina.
Only handful of the prisoners
were Germans. Among the booty
captured were 100 good freight
cars and locomotive.
Fighting was limited to small
scale engagements, official reports
showed. Generally, the operation
consisted of mortars firing at
mountain trails and narrow, wind
ing roads. Allied casualties were
extremely light.
(The German broadcast &C
knowledging the evacuation of
southern Calabria" said:
C'The evacuation by Italian
authorities and the German mill
tary command force has been car
ried out according to plan and in
complete order. All supplies have
been carried away and brought
into safety. The civilian population
likewise has been evacuated in
full order.
"Al indications point to a Sec
ond large scale landing of British
and American troops at another
place in the Mediterranean to
come soon.''

6,-R-Lieut. Joe Hunt, a
young Navy officer who learn
ed a lot about fire power at
Annapolis, had too much of the
same sort of power for Seaman
Jack Kramer of the Coast
Guard today and used it to win
the National Singles tennis
championship.
In a match whose ending was
a disappointment to the gallery
of about 5000, Hunt turned
back Kramer, 6-3, 6-S, 1913,
60. Kramer, who spent Satur-
day in bed with an attack Of
intestinal flu and who was
barely able to last through yes
terday's hard match against
Ecuador's Francisco Segura,
wilted under the double handi-
cap of illness and heat and
didn't even gesture toward WIN
ming the final set.
Up to the intermission, how
ever, it was as hard-fought
tennis match as the West Side
Tennis club stadium has wit
messed in good many years.
Kramer had the better stroke
equipment, but Hunt had the
power and persistence that fl
nally wore his rival down. Nei-
Their was able to play with sus-
tanned brilliance, but at their
best they both played tennis of
real championship calibre.
