evening a sadly disappointed bunch

The game was quite close until
Figero, Bisbee's ace moundsman.
was struck in the hand by a pitched
ball in the 9Th inning and had to
leave the game. Thereafter, SOUS
batsmen socked the ball around at
such a lively clip that Coach j. T.
Chambers threw in many substi-
tutes to give as many players as
possible workout.
Scales Shows Stuff
Surprise tactics saw Scales, the
/ lefthander, start the game as pitch
er rather than Mccoy, who had
famed 18 Miners" in the previ-
GUS game Scales was "in there
and held the BisbeeiteS to one run
through the 9Th inning. Mccoy
went in at the 9th inning and fan
ned of 4 Bisbee batters.
Sou provided poor support for
Brantford who relieved Scales in
the 7th. Playing on the long end
of the score they allowed two runs
to be scored in that inning after
Brantford had struck out the third
batter Powell, the catcher, drop
ped the ball and the batter was
safe on 1st after Turner missed his
throw. Poor tosses all around the
field enabled the batter to score as
we'll as a Miner" on base.
Sou scored one run in the 2nd
inning, one in the Bird, three in the
4th and three in the 7th Brown
and Scales got "licks" which en-
abled them to round the bases and
Luke hit a triple and double.
SCUers who played in addition

The six New England Governors agreed last December to follow the Federal example. member of Governor Dewey's staff says that the Governor will appoint the fourth Thurs day of November MT. Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving
 week ahead in 1889, 1940 and 1941 whereupon there was great excitement and terrible loss of words.
 The tradition of the last Thursday in November was by no means consecutive. The Plymouth Sep aratists celebrated the first American Thanksgiving Friday, we believe, in December. The earliest extant Thanksgiving proclamation appoints July 29, 1876, as Thanksgiving Day for Massachusetts Bay. The day of the week is not given. The next earliest for the province appoints Thursday December B. l767 Thursday became the favorite day for the holiday. Will some antiquarian tell us why? The Continental and National Congresses appointed six Thursdays all but one in December; in 1778, Wednes- day, December 30.
 The last day of November appeared for the first time Thanksgiving Day in 1782 John Adams pro- claimed a Wednesday Thanksgiving, on May g. 1798; Abraham Lincoln Sunday Thanksgiving, on April IS, 1862 MT Lincoln also appointed Thanksgiving for the last Thursday in November 1864.

the two men took place just prior to the Democratic convention, when a high-up member of the Adminis- tration conferred with Willkie and then with Roosevelt about the pos sibility of Willkie's becoming his Vice Presidential running mate. Willkie was open-minded, though skeptical that such unusual action would be taken by a Democratic convention. He agreed, however that if drafted, he would not de- cline.
 The President in turn said he would be delighted to have Willkie as his running-mate, provided there was a spontaneous move from the convention to nominate him. He added that he did not want any, thing to take place that looked like political deal between them.
 It was on this same day that FDR wrote his much-controverted letter to Willkie suggesting that they get together for talk in the near future. He scrubbed the note in longhand, and it was later typed and mailed by his secretary, Grace Fully. The President had already left for the West Coast and never actually signed it.
 At Chicago move to draft Willkie actually got under way. Senator Wagner of New York was the center of the move, and &C., tually cleared the decks to make a speech putting Willkie's name be- fore the convention as Vice Presi- dent. Edward Loughlin, head of Tammany, was anxious to second the nomination. He boiled most of the New York delegation and found enthusiastic support.
 However, when Wagner and Loughlin consulted the Big City bosses who were running things, they got a douse of cold water Messrs Hannegan, Kelly, Flynn and

 It is, alas only too true, of course, that among the most seasonal troops of the Wehrmacht there are many units that are fighting with fanatical fury and that still capable of delivering heavy blows against the Allies But Germany's losses during past months have been such that the fanatcism of the few cannot begin to make up for a growing inferiority in num- bers in air power and in material As result, while Hitler can delay-and then not for very long-he cannot avert the inevitable The fact is that Germany is nation that is being bled white

The true inwardness- and hopelessness-of Ger manys military situation is summed up in one figure made public by Supreme Allied Headquarters. SHEAF reveals that since D-Day-June 6-the Germans have lost 457 356 in prisoners alone in the fighting in the west This figure does not of course include the Germans killed or wounded and otherwise incapaci- taed Nor does it include the possibly large numbers of German deserters The overall figure of Ger manys losses in France, Belgium and the Netherlands may, therefore, be very large indeed.
 Now let it be remembered that before the invasion German strength in the west was estimated at not more than 50 divsions-or between 100000 and 100000 men We conclude that only small portion of that
