Cox Headache to Friek

II was hoping the controversy had
ended but in view of Cox's prepos-

Cox has deposited a bundle of

may be attributed to just plain stu

fact that Cox is baffled by baseball's

Tribe Option May Rob
Orioles Of Big Sale
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 3.-The COM
plicated case of who owns 24-year-
old Ed (Specs) Kneman, "sinker
ball" sensation of the Baltimore
Orioles and at present baseball's
leading game winner, is enough to
make the Cleveland Indians hit the
warpath.
It's all very confusing, even to
Specs. whose sinker nosedives about
10 inches when 1t breaks into the
plate.
To date, Klieman has won 10
games and lost S, and it seems GER
tain that the ownership question
would wind up in the lap of Com
missioner K. M. Lands.
Cleveland sold Klieman to Balti-
more for $3.50 last spring. An

permits Cleveland to claim two
Baltimore players before August IS.

each will not exceed $4,000.

Manager Tommy Thomas said, you

Cleveland hasn't said. And what
about $4,000? We'll, that's a good
figure to start at" he replied.
A native of Norwood, Ohio, he
came to Baltimore from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, where he won II and
lost six in the Three-I League last
season. He learned about the
sinker there. Specs said an unknown
ian came on the field one night and
showed him how.

Specs says he has received an IN
duction notice for August 26, but
physicians believe he will be de-
ferred because of a perforated ear

FORT KNOX, KY, Aug. 3.-While
other schools are worrying about
getting II men for football team
this fall the Armored Command
Ofhcer Candidate School here has
plenty of former collegiate stars
including five with bowl experience
but no football team.
Graduates of the Armored Com

armored divisions, but the Job of
learning how to operate tanks and
guns rules out time for football
except in reminiscing.

unsuccessful effort to stop Candi-
date Van Davis of Atlanta and the
University of Georgia.
The Smith boys rate Davis, who
also played in the Orange Bowl
game in 1912, as the greatest crash
ing end they ever played against,
and Milt played a pretty fair game
at end himself.
Vic alternated at half and full
back for U. c. L. A., and Davis says
Vic ran over his end more times
than he likes to remember.
The school has another pair of
bowl ends-Truman Cox of Donna,
Tex, and Marion Slaughter of
Houston, teammates at Texas A.

Bowl.
Asked what playing in the Rose
Bowl meant to football player, Vic
Smith replied:

of Italy:
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has

noon the unconditional surrender by

THE armistice is strictly mill
tary instrument, signed by military

Furthermore. it is evident that
the present position does not permit
public announcement of the contents

Frascati is IL miles east of Rome,

the other four towns and IA miles
southeast of Rome, was bombed
The broadcast declared, "The
