Naming Mickey
 .McClernOn Pleases .E. E. Co. Athletes
Joe Kane, Sports Id.

Employees of the Electric Boat Company. and particularly those connected with athletic activities in the plant, were overjoyed to hear of Lieutenant-Co Commander Mo Clernon's appointment to the ath- letic directorship of the Coast Guard Academy. Former athletic officer, Lieutenant Commander Merriman has been assigned to sea duty.
 Mickey" as Comm. McClernon is called by his many friends, has been instrumental in putting many an injured E. B. athlete back into active competition by his clever methods of applying heat and mas sage. His reputation as a trainer of athletes Is countrywide as was his boxing aprowess a short time back. Mickey met and defeated the leading middleweight boxers oA the country and but for a few bad breaks at the height of his career, might have gained the champion ship. Most of his biggest matches were held in the Chicago area.
 Proof of Mickey's tremendous popularity Is the amount of mail he receives from former Coast Guard students who were members of his boxing team while at the Academy and are now stationed in various parts of the world. The let ters inevitably add that the ex- perience gained under Mickey's coaching has stood them in good stead during the stress of battle.

would be getting a little far out on that limb. The big left-hander should win ten games, however. and this type of pitching combined with his crowd-pleasing antics should help the club plenty.
 Covington is the clowning type and becomes the "Showboat" at ev- cry opportunity. Nevertheless, his record with the championship Scranton team of the Eastern League speaks for itself. His rub bery left arm, which saw duty in 37 games, produced the Eastern Leagues first perfect game, 45 con- secutive scoreless innings, and scored nine shut-outs. The talka- tive hurler did not serve a home run ball all season and was strike out king by a wide margin, besides displaying amazing control
 If Chet, who was picked by Sporting News as Minor League Player of the Year. doesn't prove his value to Freddie Fitzsimmons on the mound he will in the box office department and will un- doubtedly give "Bobo" Newsome a run for the Philadelphia popu- larity title. An interesting player to watch.

Harry Bachman Takes First Swim Of the Season

A fishing trip by Arthur Gates and Harry Bachman resulted in Harry taking the first swim of the season, at least the first one that is officially reported.
 On Sunday, April 18th the two popular Main Storehouse em- ployees journeyed to Stoney Brook in Montville to try their luck. ,Harry's luck was particularly bad. since he found 1t necessary to take a few quick strokes to reach Arts outstretched hand and get pulled out of the swirling spot in the brook, the depth of which he had misjudged at that particular point. Harry sez he won't mind the cold which will inevitably follow, since he knows the reason for 1t.

 To Gene Fulton and Steve Tu- neski goes great credit for the successful season that was en- joyed by the leagues. Fulton Is secretary of the Wednesday Night League and Tuneski of the Friday keglers.

Md, Sept. 4.-The new slugging
strength of the Army's mobile fire
power makes an impressive display
A number OF weapons now rolling
the Nazis back with their own blitz-
kreig tactics were demonstrated and
described here recently for the first
time since battle tests led to their
production in quantity.
Monsters like 8-inch field gun

pools and steep hills.
Skitters Over Mud.
The Weasel, taking over when the
Jeep bogs down, skitters on wide,
semifexible tracks across soupy mud
with no bottom or over streams and
high banks with equal ease The
vehicle was designed to transport
supplies and troops in swampy coun-
try. It now is used in many combat
theaters.
With a smoother motion than
wheeled vehicles over rough coun-
try. the Weasel has begun to move
badly wounded men from battle
areas not accessible to ambulances.
This function of the strange, highly
maneuverable little amphibian was
demonstrated here for news and
