Of marines throughout the Saipan

"Frichette's Farm" is the name
which the boys in the quartermaster
section have tagged onto our rear
dump, from where supplies flow to
the front lines.
The place was named after
Marine First 1t. Richard r. Frich-

charge of the dump. His wife, Mrs
Maude F'richette, resides at 2025
Fendall avenue Sc, Washington,

The farm consists Of few shade
trees, a number of tin shacks, a
grove of banana trees and a cluster
of palms, set in the midst of rolling
fields just below the mountains.
Here the quartermaster section
has stored up quantities of food
water and ammunition. Trucks are
constantly coming and going with
supplies. Most popular features of
the farm are we'll and pump,
where plenty of washing water can
be obtained.

Dear Mr.. Pottinger:
A most welcome piece of mail ar.
rived few days ago in the form Of
a copy of the Nogales International,
I got the paper just before boarding
an Army car to make trip. There
were some pretty rough stretches in
the road, but I don't recall anything
about that, as I was busy catching
up on home news.
The first article to catch my at
tention was the one about Colonel
Renshaw-a very sad piece Of news
for many.
The second International arrived

to cover. Routine duties had to wait
in the meantime.

loss Of the season today when the
New York Giants put two doubles
together in the 10th inning to de-

A double by Buddy Kerr follow

RUDE Fischer, last of three Giant
pitchers, was the winner.
Both Cardinals runs were the
result Of homers, one by old Pepper
Martin in the first inning and the
other by Walker Cooper in the
fourth. The Giants scored in the
sixth on Bruce Sloan's triple and

determined st. Louis Browns swept
into a tie with the Detroit Tigers
for the A ~rican league pc mt

Nelson Potter, pitching the
Browns second game, chalked up
his 18th victory of the season
against seven defeats.
Sensational one hand running
catches by Kreevich and Gutter

the Brownies. In the eighth with
two on and two cut, Kreevich rae
ed backwards to the center wall
to pull down Johnny LindelPs
long fly. In the ninth Gutteridge
leaped high to spear pinchhitter
Paul Waner's liner over his Shout
