Blame for the Indifferent trend

on the reluctance of Gus
toners to extend commitments

however, managed to retain their
followings on the basis of earnings
and dividend prospects.

II. S. airmen who have made their
way to this neutral country IN the

Ten crewmen from a Flylns

and related details of their flight
across Denmark, where they were
forced down when their bomber
was damaged by flax in a raid
on Stettin, German Baltic port.
For four nights they lodged Ger
man patrols. "Once German SOL
der passed within 80 feet OF us
without spotting u.s." said the tail
gunner, from Dallas. Tex. They
hid by day. Finally they contact
ed fisherman, who landed them
in his boat at Malmo, on the SWed-
ish coast.
The bombardier, from Jerome,
Pa, said the plane had barely
landed when two farmer boys ap-
peared. Then some other civilians
came. They couldn't understand a
word of English-just pointed in
the direction of Sweden"
Censorship forbade transmits
sion of the fliers' names.)
Then a man who said he was
a Canadian appeared and told the
Americans to beat it fast if you
want to get out" the bombardier
said, and one of the Danes set
fire to the plane, saying Your
plane caught fire accidentally"

DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, April 17-R-Quiet
conditions prevailed in the cotton
textile market today. Activities
conferred on filling the huge war
demand for all types of construc-
tons with only scattered lots Of
print cloth and sheetings released
to the civilian trade. Mills were
particularly cautious in the face
of the hearing at Washington on
high textile wage demands coupled
with uncertainty of the manpoW-
er situation.
The wool goods market was dull
rejecting the recent increase in
government contracts placed with
mills. Deliveries to the trade con-
tinued to run behind schedule as
mill, particularly in the mems di'
vision are we'll sold up.
A small allotment of goods were
released in the rayon market to
converters and others against

London, Oct. i3 -tUP)- Corp Billy Conn of Pittsburgh said today that "things are al set up" for . title match with heavyweight champion Joe Louis at New York within six months after the war ends" -
 "Thero's no contract or anything like that but it's oil set and MiEe Jacobs has arranged everything V Conn said. "It's always been under. stood that's the way 1t would be-"
 Conn may Do . bit optimistic, however, as he and Sgt, Joe, re. gently returned to the United States from exhibitions in this the- ater, both are under contract to Uncle Sam for the duration piu' six months.
 Conn, who used his speed to al- most dethrone Louis in ie4i before being kayoed in the 18th round, as- serted that he is as fast as ever but that Louis age, he Is past 90, twill be bound to slow up the champ somewhat"

Dr. Allen Wants IA "Londis" For CoIIeQe Sports

Lawrence, Kan, october l3, = (Upl - pr, Forest o, tPhog) Allen, Basketball mentor at the University of Kansas and self.styled sage of mlddle-western coaches, suggested today that colleges employ Q nae tlonal high commissioner to rule in the manner of Judge Kenesaw M, Lands in baseball to "Save the de- eenoy of collegiate athletics after the war"
 Allen, critical proselyting in cole leRe athletics, said that unless such an office was created there would be e post.war scandal in football and basketball that would over- shadow any similar incident since bASehall's "Blaek-sox" world series deal of 1919,
 Allen, whose cage teams are prac. tically the perennial champions Of the Big Six, suggested that "eolloge administrators should see to it that the office of the President of the United States should nominate the commissioner.
 something is going to happen" he said. "If educational institutions are efficient, they will set up some ma ee'nery that will protect them from Q national scandal, AS sure as you live, tho thingiS going to crack wide open some time when they lay bare an in. eid0nt where some group of college hoVA have thrown a game for 0 tidy sum-"

Robinson 5-2
 Over Junnoxxo

Boston, Oct. iS - (U.P,) -- Ray (Sugar) Robinson of New York, who bills himself as the uncrowned wel- terweight king Of the world. was Q 5.2 favorite to whip Veteran Izzy Jannazzo of Brooklyn when they meet in a l0-round boxing bout ct Boston Garden tonight,
 Robinson will be making his first real start since receiving an hon- orable discharge from the U, s. Army and the bout will be broad cast on e nationwide radio hook up in conjunction with an agree- ment between a Razor Company and Madison Square Garden.
 His long layoff in the army ap. parently has done Robinson little good since his training sessions have been anything but sharp. Despite this he is expected to have an easy time with Jannazzo who. Is a will- ing and clever performer but 1t slowed by years.
 The bout is expected to be fast and not too dangerous to the parti- cips since both Robinson and Ja . Q are boxers rather than hgi...-s.
 Some 5000 fans are expected to be on hand to witness the bout that will be one of the best of the cur- rent season that has seen little in the way of fistic talent.

Red Sox, Braves
 Lost Money In "A

Boston, Oct, iS-(uP)-The Dos- ton Red Sox probably fared Q little better financially this year than their National League neiehbors the Boston Braves, but estimates indis eated today that both baseball teams wuond up the season "in the red"
 For reasons best known to theFis selves, baseball magnates are as ioath to discuss attendance and cash ca O woman is her ago SO that c dee finite picture of this third wartime season will not be forthcoming Tor some months. :.
 However, Q survey Just completed by the Boston News Bureau tends to show Boston baseball in aSomewhat dreary light,
 Increase But Loss
 Rcd sox attendance apparently was up somewhat over the io43 fig ure of S0A ,eei because of their last. ditch pennant fight but 1t was be. lleved far below the ie42 figure of 7Ai ,02e. This would tend somewhat to offset the clubs indicated loss, which in ie4S was S2o7, ,120, but still would not cause 1 ito "break eVen."
 Attendance at Braves field left much | obe desired but figures were not available. However, ct one late season game the club played before Q rather large flock of pigeons and some 400-odd cash customers.
 The Braves le43 balance sheet has just become available and shows In comparison with le42 that the in. dleateG loss was S4e,760, The 1922 in- diceted loss was SS66. The clubs payroll this year wa comparatively low 80 the io44 indicated loss may have been held down despite the attendance drop.
