training camp today by standing
off the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4 to
over an Ginning route, in mud
that was literally ankle-deep be-
hind the plate and on the base
paths.
The start of the contest was de-
layed by rain that drenched the
field throughout the night, but the
fans kept buying tickets and the
clubs agreed to take the field.
The game was called after eight
innings to permit the pirates to
catch their train.
The Pirates got two runs on
three hits off Paul Trout in three
innings and another off rookie Ruf-
fus Gentry. The Tigers came from
behind a three-run lead, pounding
Edwin (Preacher) Roe for eight
hits and four runs in four innings.

Scoring all their runs in the sec

defeated the Philadelphia Athletics
Reserves 7 to to day in an exhl-

5000.
Left-handed Jack McGillen was
the victim of the National Leag-

of them connected for base hits.
BALTIMORE, April 9.-R)-The
Philadelphia Athletics lost their
third straight game today, this
one 4-3 to the Baltimore Orioles OF
the International League. A crowd
of 1000 watched.
Sam Lowry, a pitcher who didn't

BROOKLYN, April 9.-R)-The
question as to whether Manager
Leo Durocher of the Dodgers
would open the season at second
base was definitely settled in the
negative today when, in the third
inning of the 12-inning exhibition
game against the Red Sox, he
suffered a fracture of his right
thumb, the digit being broken in
two places. The accident which
brought about Durocher's depart
ure from action came when he
tried to make a bare-hand catch
of a throw to second base by Gene
Mauch, 18-year-old rookie short
stop. The peg was intended to head
off Skeeter Newsome running to

Here's a very funny thin
about War Bonds

IT'sAFUNNY THING, but many people
i still have the wrong slant on War
Bonds.
These people think that when they
buy Bond, they're giving, or donating
their money to the war.
You might say they have grin-and-
bear-it attitude about all their War
Bond purchases.
Well, that's a strange attitude. Be-
cause while buying Bonds is patriotic,
and while it is necessary to help the
Government pay for planes and tanks
and guns, it is not a personal sacrifice.
In fact, buying a War Bond is just
about the most advantageous thing
you can possibly do with your money.
Why?
You couldn't make safer invest
ment. The Government itself backs
every dollar you invest.
And the Government pays a good,
sound rate of interest-you get 81 back
for every 50 you put in.
That means that when the war is
over, everybody who's been buying
War Bonds will have comfortable
