because certain articles have disappeared from the
market and you haven't anything else to spend your

you need but instead you have purchased war

And even then you simply repouncng some

without for the time being something far easier to
do than what the in combat zones are doing.

 Atlantic City, N. J., March 2o-- (UP)--Gloom Tiantled the Hotel Senator today as the process of "broaking up" the world champion Yankees continued at increased tempo.
 Latest double-barrelled blast at the Tanks pennant hopes was the loss of battery -- Catcher Joe Glenn and Pitcher Spud Chandler, top finger in the American league, Glenn was ordered last night to rec port for induction Into tho Navy, April 1. Chandler got his call for Army induction yesterday after noon. He will enter in mld-April for limited service.
 This meant tho loss of four key players within a week, because Catcher Bill Dickey was indueted into the Navy last Wednesday, and Second Baseman Joe Gordon passed his Army physical examination Fri- day. Uncle Sam now has taken eight Tanks since the last World Series.
 Meanwhile, Outhelder Johnny Llndeil has been notified to prepare for a pre-induction examination, probably at Camden, N. J.; and Pitcher Marius Russo has decided to remain at work in Q Long Island defense plant; md Gather Rollie HemSley will remain on his Missouri farm.
 Manager Joe Mccarthy Is groggy from the four quick bloWs--dlenn, Chandler, Gordon and Diekey--but he is game. The Buffalo Irishmnn said, "This is sure tough, but I have no complaints. Our losses are Uncle Sams gains. I don't know how we're going to replace these men, but we'll do tho best we can"
 Two Catchers
 Glenn was the No. l candidate to replace veteran Bill Dickey aS catcher. He recently moved up from the Yankee farm club at Kan- Ras City, Mo-, and reported here for training. Mccarthy was inl- pressed with his ability. 0lenn'S departure leaves as catching possi- bilities only Bob Collins, who is over military age, and Mike darbark, q minor league veteran from Newark
 Mccarthy was stunned by Chand- ler's notification. No club can re- place a pitcher like Spud, who was voted the most valuable player IT. the American circuit during l043' He won 20 and lost games last season, winding up with an allowed earned run average Of l.04. lowest in the American league in 20 years, He climaxed his brilliant season with two victories against the st. Louis Cardinals in the World Ser les.
 Chandler had been classified as l.AL Acceptable for limited serv- ice) in December; but tho Tanks had counted on him for q few months of play because the induc" ton Of non-conbat men has been reduced to five per cent in each draft area. The sinker-ball Spe- cialIst was accepted for limited serv- ice only, because an elbow injury restricts the use of his right arm the pitching arm.
 Another blow for Mccarthy came late yesterday when George Stirn- weiss, slated to take Joe Gordon's place at second, had to go to New York for sinus treatments.
