FENDER C0NQUERS
RIFLE HANDICAP

With most sporting and military
bolt action rifles made with the
manually operated bolts on
the right of the shooter. south
paw, or lefthander, is usually han
dlcapped when it comes to turning
Iii a good performance on the rifle
range.
But this is not true of W. H.
Pete Fender, craftsmanship
t1ainee of the Lake Forest Rifle
Cub Small Arms Firing School,
conducted by that organization I'm
der the supervision of Edmund Nc
Laurin, certified craftsmanship in
structor.
Fender, officials stated, has been
the most consistenet scorer in the
entire class despite the fact that
he shoots entirely from the left
shoulder, using a rifle designed for
righthanded marksman. The
Lake Forest rifleman has not only
made high scores from the prone,
sitting, kneeling and standing firing
positions, but he has also led his
competitors in the rapid fire
stages, an exceptionally difficult
feat for left-handed person using
a standard, righthanded bolt action
rifle such as the U. S. Army Spring
field 80 caliber rifle and the 90
caliber training rifles.
A newcomer to the rifle shoot
ing game, Fender has quickly de-
veloped into a good marksman and
is held in high esteem by his fell
low trainees for his sportsm anship
and enthusiasm.

BULLPEN PLAYERS
HAVE TOUGH LIFE
BY BUS HAM

WASHINGTON. July 5-R-
Have you ever satisfied years
Old curiosity by spending a quiet
Fourth of July afternoon In the
bullpen of a Major League ball
team?
From your seat in the packed
stands, that little corner at the
far end of the foul line where the
pitchers warm up looks like an
IDEAL spot to bake in sun-tan, or
catch up on ca.napping.
But the atmosphere isn't at all
that of lazy Indifference out there
among the relief men. Actually
the nervous tension seems greater
en- them than the men in the game.
For the battery boys play every
play in advance. there's a let
down after almost every pitch,
every bounce of the ball, every out.
The second-guessing is constant.
Take the second game II the
Fourth's doubleheader between
Washington and Chicago. The sox
got away to an early 20 lead, but
the Mats tied it UP in the seventh.
In the bull pen for the Senators
were pitchers Bill Lefebvre, Milo
Candini, Mickey Haefner and Alex
Carrasquel, with Catcher Al Evans,
and Coaches Handsome" Fitz-
gerald and Nick Altrock
A sign came from the Wash
ington dugout for Lefebvre to
warm up. again. the big guy
had been in and out of his jacket
a dozen times during the after
noon. without once throwing to
a batter. The bull pen sprang
quickly to action.
When Thurman Tucker, fleet Sox
center fielder, went far back to
pull down a hot smash that would
have won the struggle for the Mats,
the bullpen Johnnies said not a
word, but almost to the man lift
ed their caps, slid them on the
backs of their heads, and passed
knoWink chances - that guys a
robber.
Finally the Sox broke it up in
the 18th on Roy Schalk's single,
and not a peep came from the
bullpen. the tension was off, din
ner was on the table, and tomor-
row is another game. but don't
20 way with the idea that playing
the game in the bullpen is as soft
easy as it looks from t h e

With Triumph Over Buns

CINCINNATI, July 5-lR-Cinci-
matt made it three in row over
Brooklyn as Ed Huesser limited
the Dodgers to three hits to give
the Reds Al triumph today and
also enable them to move into the
National Leagues second spot, as
the Pittsburgh Pirates dropped a
game to the Pills to slide into
third place.
The defeat extended the Dod-
gers losing streak to nine straight,
all in the West. Ed Head started
for the Dodgers, and gave up all
the Reds runs. He retired in the
eighth for a pinch hitter, being
charged with his second loss, after
four consecutive wins.
Ed Huesser won his fifth game,
three of them against the Dodgers,
holding them scoreless in all ex-
cept the fourth inning, when Brook
Ign scored it's only runs.
Ray Mueller caught his 133rd
consecutive National League game
to match George Gibson's feat, pre-
formed with the Pittsburgh Pirates
in 1909. Mueller, however, accomp-
hshed his in two years, catching

JIMMY F0XX ENDS
TRY AT COMEBACK

CHICAGO, July 5-R- The
comeback attempt of Jimmy Foxx,
homer hammering star of the Phil
aoelphia Athletics and Boston Red
Soc in the late 20's and the '30's,
today was officially pronounced a
failure by the Chicago Cubs, who
transferred him from their active
list to the status of a coach and
bull pen catcher.
Foxx, SO, reported to the Cubs
in the midst of spring training this
year after remaining out of base
ball all last season. The cubs ac-
quired him from the Red Sox in
1912 and he hit .205 in 70 games
FOR them that year.
After starting a few games at
third base early in the season,
Foxx this year has been used
merely as an infrequent pinch hit
ter, and bullpen catcher. At bat 10
times, he made but one hit, a
double, for an average of .053.

RINE.
It is certainly not the fault of the
British that there are shortcomings
and stupidities in American law gov
erning and restricting the American
merchant marine.
It is strictly our AMERICAN
fault if our own laws impose restric-
tions upon the American merchant
marine which not only preclude any
chance of fair competition in postwar
ocean commerce but actually promise
to drive American shipping from the
commercial seas.
That is what our present law will
inevitably do.
The British merchant navy has
already made full plans to avail itself
of supplemental air transport all
over the world.
How can the American merchant
marine, denied the right to augment
it's shipping lines with air lines, ex-
pect to compete fairly OR AT ALL
with a British maritime establish
ment equipped to fly rings around it
in all the markets of the world?
This problem is destined to be of
vital Importance in the very near
future.
A MERICA now has the biggest
n and best maritime establishment
in the world.
America has the productive ca
pacity to always have the biggest
and best maritime establishment in
the world.
But shortsighted American mari
time and aviation policy could very
soon and very surely reduce us to
the condition of impotency in ocean
commercial shipping that was our
humiliating condition before the
present war
Postwar world trade advantages
will not be won by ship and plane
builders and operators alone, but by
legislative POLICY MAKERS as
well.
And our present American legis
lative policy, if persisted in, will put
our postwar American merchant ma
rine as far behind the British mer-
chant navy as the tramp steamer is
behind the airplane.

british maritime interest, conf

nent outcome of the war in Europe
and assured by the British govern
ment that war shipping now avail
able or building is sufficient for war
purposes, are now thinking and
planning in terms of postwar COM
mercial shipping.
This is natural and legitimate
aspiration.
Britain has always been a great
maritime nation, and will properly
and earnestly strive to be one again.
With the war over, it is only
logical that the British ambition will

quoted by the Daily Mail, "the Uorld

petition"
This is a matter of considerable
AMERICAN interest.
Maritime Competition" in the
postwar future is going to be largely
between America and Britain.
The question of FAIR competi-
ton involves several important
things.
One of these things relates to
fixed British maritime practice, of
maintaining excessively low stand
ards of pay and crew quarters in its
merchant navy-standards which the
better paid and better equipped
American merchant marine cannot
meet and would not meet if it could.
There will never be a basis for
"fair" maritime competition be-
tween America and Britain as long
as British pay and crew policy is
kept so close to the slave level.
1t is impossible to RETURN to
something that never existed
But there is another important
fact bearing upon the matter of fair
maritime competition.
