REDS OFFENSIVE
GAINS IN POWER
BY w. w. HERCHER

LONDON, July 26.-lR-The pow
er and scope of the current Rus
sian offensive are sv great that
London military circles are discuss
ing seriously the possibility that
the Nazis will be unable to make
a firm stand against the Red Ar
my until they reach the Oder Riv-
er line running well inside Ger
many. ..-. 81.
South of Warsaw the Russians
already have reached the Vista
river, the last remaining line OF
natural defense in front of the Ger
man frontier. The swift Soviet adj
vance has given the Germans little
tine to reorganize h e i r armies
fleeing through Poland. 1t is 142
r.iles from the Russian position on
the Vista to the border Of German
S;lesia, 1853 miles to Berlin.
If the Vista river line fails to
held, the next important river bar
lie1 is the Oder which, as it ap-
proaches the sea, runs only IS
miles northeast of Berlin.
On the basis of the most con-
sentative military opinion h e,
the Nazis may find it expedient
TO evacuate mos1 of Poland, swing
ing from the Carpathian mountain
barrier to the line o.. the Oder,
which runs from Breslau on the
south through Frankfurt in h e
center to Stettin on the North.
Strategic withdrawals will be
necessary in any case with such a
deep and dangerous salient driven
into the heart OF Poland.
The Narva sector in Estonia on
the northern lip of the eastern
+ ont is one of the areas from
which the Germans are withdraw
ing They are giving numerous 9TH
er places to the Russians without

lines and prevent an outflanking.
In central Poland the retreat has
tecome full flight.
The political significance of the
Russian victories is incalculable.

NEW YORK. April 26. (UP)-If
as the experts insist. good pitching
is going to be the measure OF diff
ference between major league clubs
in this third wartime season, the
time has come TO take the Cincin-
natl Reds seriously.
Season after season, the expert
hurting of the Reds goes to waste
because the team has lacked hit
ting. 1t may be that way again
this year. but the way the Cincin-
natl hurlerS are performing to date
they could win games with the puni-
est kind of hitting.
In winning four out of five games
to date. the starting pitcher has
finished his full game shift each
time. The Reds only defeat was
a three-hitter pitched by Bucky
Walters on opening day and since
that time the opposition never has
gotten more than eight hits in any
game and has an average of barely
more than five hits per game.
Manager Bill McKechnie of the
Reds, considered by many as the
best handler of pitchers in baseball,
has a starting staff consisting OF
Elmer Riddle, Tom de la
Cruz and Joe Beggs. and though
there are other eligibles, he hasn't
needed them up to now.
