s, troops in a swift 10-mile
smash through crumbling re-
sistance hurled thousands of
trapped Germans back onto
their main hill defense line
onlv six miles south of Cher
bourg yesterday as big Am
erican guns began the siege
Of Frances third largest
port.
Unofficial estimates said from
$4,000 to $4,000 Germans were trap
ned at the end of the second week
Of Allied invasion.
HEADQUARTERS Communique No.
% said of the American sweep:
The Allies stranglehold on the
cherbourg peninsula has been
Strengthened by series Of local
advances.
Dispatches direct from the field
IT. pm. last aight( l pm. East
i'm War Time) said American
pearheads were within eight
miles of the prize port after
doubling the width Of their steel
band shearing off the top of the
peninsula.
Prime Minister Churchill in a
speech four days ago just releas-
ed yesterday said Allied summer
victories might bring full sue
cess to the cause of freedom" and
said 100000 men might be en-
gagged presently on both sides.
On Verge OF Victory
The Americans were on the
verge Of their biggest victory
since the invasion, bearing down
swiftly on the primary German
defense line outside Cherbou-g.
The headquarters communique
said a German attack had been
repulsed near Tilly-sur-Seulles and
noted increased enemy Smelling at
Caen, on the British-Canadian end
Of the front in the east. Allied war
ships continued to give support on
the eastern flank by engaging
enemy mobile batteries.
An officer in the field predicted
the fate of Cherbourg would be
decided on the German defense
line which American troops now
had practically reached.
1,OOo Germans Captured
Front dispatches said the Ameri-
cans pushing up from the south
had captured more than Lulu
Germans during the day and were
overrunaiing the few machine-gun
posts and sniper nests forming
reasguards for the Nazis fleeing
into the hills.
The Americans captured Brio
quebec, a sizeable town five miles
below the main German defense
line around Cherbourg, and be-
cause of the general Nazi dis.
organization it was considered
probable that Valognes, a few
miles to the northwest and 10
miles from Cherbourg, also had
been taken by other units which
Suddenly by-passed .Iontebourg.
The next few hours should dis
close whether the Germans have
only improvised defenses below
Inerbourg, and whether their port
batteries facing out to sea can be
!uraed inland against the advanc-
ing Yanks.

OF Kulpmont, Pa, and ring-wise Lee
Savold of Paterson, N. J.-is ex-
pected to cram Wrigley Field to-
night with upwards of $4,000 fans
A goodly portion will be gratis-ad-
mitted servicemen.
| With the Army fully occupying
Champion Joe Louis and his two
foremost challengers. Billy Conn
and Jimmy Bivins, Promoter Jack
Kearns had little trouble selling to-
nights mix as heavyweight brawl
of significance.
1t is the years rubber meeting
between Baksi, who recently was
named the ranking "outstandine
boxer" among the heavies by the
National Boxing Association, and
l27-year-old Savold, who was rated
third by the NBA behind Baksi
and Melio Bettina of the Army.
Baksi, who weighs 2l0 and is 4-F
in the draft. and 195-pound Savold
a physical instructor in tie Mer-

year. Baksi, fresh from a conquest
of touted Tami Mauriello, was up
set by Savold at Madison Square
Garden on March 10. The rugged
Pole tackled Savold in the garden
two months later and won a clear
cut verdict.
Tonight's semi-final will be an

Shucco 7-fo-5 Choice
To Whip Giant Hart
In Fight Tonight

David meets Goliath again to-
night at Grif1ith Stadium, when
Tony Shucco, $50 pounds, meets
giant Al Hart, local Negro favorite
who weighs 220, in q 10-round
heavyweight brawl expected to draw
one of the biggest crowds ever to
see a ig-fellow bout in Washington.
Hart is the biggest man the vet
eran Boston boxing master has met
and the slingshot Tony has pre-
pared against the colossus is a ring
knowledge sharpened to peak after
II years of campaigning against the
best of them. Shucco cut down an
other giant of Hart's type, George
Parks, week before last in the ball
park, winning spectacular decision
after giving the fans an exhibition
of boxing as 1t used to be.
Because of his skill, Tony today
was being quoted as a 7-to-5 fa-
vorite to defeat the District boy,
but these odds fail to indicate what
the popular Bostonian is up against
in Hart. There is very little fat
in those 220 pounds of bull-strong
beef, and Al packs one of the hefti-
est wallops in the game. The wise
men today also were reminding
the odds makers that Hart holds
decision over Larry Lane, the
slugger who blasted Lem Franklin
into the coma that preceded his
death in a Jersey hospital, These
experts point out that Hart knows
a little about boxing also, and may
find way to solve Shuccos brilliant
style.
There's plenty at stake tonight
for both fighters. Winner of this
bout gets a shot at Melio Bettina
here on August % and the victor
in that tangle goes in against the
winner of the Savold-Baksi fight
in Chicago tonight on a mid-Sep-
tember date at Griff Stadium.
