ater where we could dodge and

water where we could dodge and
twist.
ST figured the morning would be
the dangerous time for bombers, if
they knew we had slipped out, so
by two o'clock I felt it was safe to
get under way, and we threaded
down through the little shoaly chan
nels between the islands, which
would defy destroyer or cruiser
to follow, approaching the last one,
which was our general rendezvous.
In the distance I could see the other
two boats also heading for it, and
when we arrived, Kelly in the "a
boat was already there and waiting.
''Then there was the problem of
what to do about the 80 boat, which
had dumped most of its gas at
dawn, and couldn't proceed much
farther at high speed.
This was a rendezvous not only
for our four MTB's, but also for
General Macarthur second means
of escape-a submarine. It had all
been carefully worked out, and the
submarine would bob up in this
cove tomorrow. Had we been at
tackled or broken down, the General
could have left US here, and con-
tinued his trip on down to Australia
by submarine.
General Macarthur, Admiral
Rockwell and Lieutenant Bulkeley
talked about the nights plans-the
advisability of continuing with US
tonight or going by submarine, I"
went on Lieutenant Kelly. 1.-THE Ad-
miral was for staying with US, but
the General was undecided. The
afternoon trip had been rough, and
Bulkeley had warned the night
would be rougher. Yet as we lay
there in the cove, the sea seemed
calm enough, and the sky gave no
hint Of bad weather. So on the as
surance of the Admiral that it would
be good weather, the General de-
cided they'd continue with us.
"Then, as Bulkeley had said,
there was the problem Of what to
do with the 80 boat, which had

dumped much of her gasoline She
did not have enough left to make
the fast run with us to the island of
Mindanao, where the Generals par
ty would get the plane for Australia.
So Bulkeley gave her different or
ders. Her generals were to be trans
ferred to my boat. She was to wait
here in the rendezvous until tomor-
row when the submarine arrived.
She was to tell the submarine that
everything had gone well, the Gen.
eral had gone on to Mindanao and
would go to Australia by plane, as
planned. Having delivered this mes
sage, the 80 boat was to go to Iloilo
on the island of Panay, only one
hundred and twenty miles away.
There she could get repairs and
enough gas to bring her on down to
Cagayan to join the rest of us in
the other three boats, and we would
finish the war together in the south
ern islands.
What went wrong with this plan,
we don't know to this day. The
boats commander, Lieutenant Schu-
macher, must have decided that it
wasn't in condition to follow these
orders. Anyway, when the subma-
rine arrived, he had it shell the
80 boat, so it would not fall into
japanese hands, and boarded the
submarine, which dropped his crew
off at Corregidor, and took him safe
ly to Australia.
eve found out much later that he
had gotten to Australia. For some
time their disappearance was a
mystery, and BuIkeley here spent
several days flying out over all
those islands trying to find some
trace Of the 80 boat. Some day, of
course, there viii be a full report
on exactly what did happen which
viii explain everything.
"A1 we know is that we last
saw them back there in the cove
as we left the harbor-a hard right
turn and then out to sea, at about
$50. We were leading, so that the
flagship, just behind US, could
search out the smoothest part of
our wake, so that MacArthur's par
ty could ride comfortably. We'd
been going about fifteen minutes
when the port lookout called Sail

on our port bow, distance about
five miles. Looks like an enemy

Philadelphia Story

The true philadelphia Story" Is
wrapped around the astonishing
Phillies of 1943.
When Bill Cox took over this
habitual inhabitant of the cellar
short while back and brought in
Bucky Harris to handle the remains,
the general opinion was that it would
take about two years in which to
remove the winding sheet.
But when the Phillies lately played
to over $4,000 spectators in two
games, there was something new to
think about in baseball way.
The season, which started darkly,
is still young. And yet in this
morbid beginning the Phillies have
already drawn out greater crowds
than 1910, 1941 or 1912 knew in mid
season.
They have a hustling young club
under a smart, hustIing leader-the
type of ball club that probably won't
finish in the first division, but will
no longer be the doormat for the
rest of the league.
The main answer is that the Phil
lies are almost certain to break their
attendance record for many years,
wherever they finish.
No ball club in big-league history
ever got away to such raw start
as this club did in early spring prac-
tice. At one spring practice spot
only two infelders were on hand.
The main point is, that where prac-
tically every other club viii suffer
some drop in attendance figures, the
Phillies are almost sure to show
a substantial gain over past years.
There is little chance that any bail
club viii play to anything like a mil
lion at home this season.
This was to be expected with so
many ex-spectators IN the service or
IN defense work.

Considering the amateur and pro-
fessional side, sport still has such
experienced administrators as Judge
Landis, Ford Frick and William Har-
ridge for baseball-Herbert Bayard
Swope for racing-Major Griffths
of the Western conference and Asa
Bushnell of the Eastern conference
in college athletics-George Blossom
and his USGA committee In golf
Elmer Layden for pro football-good
men in tennis, bowling and basket
ball-including the AAU.

The Main Idea

Sport would be far better off, for
the game itself and everyone con-
cerned which includes many, many
millions, if Washington would let
it work out its own destiny with the
war effort, naturally, the predom-
inant point.
If those now in charge of various
sports, with their long experience,
can't handle the problems that wait
ahead, then sport hasn't chance.
Many of these have made mis-
takes. But those criticizing them
might have made even bigger mis-
takes.
This is no world in which to seek
perfection and it is my belief that
most of those directing sport have
turned in a pretty fair job. Not a
masterpiece, just pretty good job.
It seems to US that the government
in Washington already has its full
share of problems in trying to han
die the workings of the army, the
navy, the marines, the air force, the
coast guard, the gasoline and rub
Der situation, the food tangle prices,
the tax bill, imitation, the unions, the
coal miners and ten or twenty other

been various rumorS around that
many of these problems have not
yet been settled to the complete sat-
isfaction Of the nation at large.
There have even been rumors that
many Of these important matters
have been somewhat muddled.

any good could come from the addi-
ton of a new Snarl.

The Other Side

There are many who believe that
there is strong organized influence
against competitive sport, and pro-
fessional sport in general, on the
side of mass, muscle-making devel-
opment, devoted largely to such
matters as calisthenics and nom
competitive training.
It can't believe the country has
moved into any such state of COM
plete insanity.
Competitive sport has been one of
the major factors in the develop
ment of this country, and it is more
needed today than it ever was be-
fore.
We need this-not against the war
effort-but as vital part of the war
effort.
1t is my belief that most of the
leaders in Washington know this to
be true.
1t might be that some ambassador
of sport might help trifle in making
his plea at court.
doubt it. For I believe most of
those in charge at Washington un-
derstand the benefits that can come
from a sporting program handled
entirely as war-effort benefit.
