'Now that the invasion he been
launched, it is imperative that the
10000 Navy men taken from sea
duty to perform shore duties be
replaced by Waves and sent back
to sea to hasten victory" Chief
Petty Officer ]. A. Brown, local
Navy recruiting officer, said yes
terday.
Waves are performing tasks vital
to the success Of the war, he said.
They are parachute riggers, avia.
ton machinists mates, telegraphers
who receive dispatches direct from
the battle fleet, and operators Of
short wave radios.
They are women performing q
mans job and doing it well, "
Brown asserted.
In addition Waves have an op.
portunity to study and know many
things which must remain secret
to civilians. They may study Radar
repair and operation, and work ir
the communications department
consideredhone OF the most gtirnu
latlng experiences in the Navy.

Referee Has Rough Night
At ITALIAN Mat Battles

Referee Yankee Jack Sherman
did a years work for one night
pay at the ITALIAN Hall wrestling
show last night. The husky arbiter
with the convict hair cut was as
busy as one-armed man shooting
an eight-legged mule.
The evenings opening bone bend
ing action was joust between
Wally Grebb and Chief Little
Beaver. Referee Sherman's worries
began with the initial gong. The
rowdy redskin Immediately put into
play every illegal trick in the grunt
and groan book. When he wasn't
slamming Grebb through the ropes
with his fists, he was despositing
hefty boots in the seat of his pants.
Yankee Jack cautioned the bruis-
ing Beaver numerous times, only to
have the clouting Cherokee con-
tinue his fowl activities. Finally
after receiving several punches in
his own kisser, Yankee Jack dis
qualified Beaver and awarded the
bout to Grebb.
Sherman's headache did not end
with the first scrap. however. Much
to his dismay, he found that his
persecution had just begun. The
second battle in the cauliflower
carnival was feminine fracas be-
tween Rose Evans and Elvira
Snodgrass. The sturdy Elvira open
ed the rout by sinking her size
7 IL into the unfortunate Miss
Evans abdominal sector. With this
the fireworks were on.
The buxom Snodgrass tossed the
lighter Evans about the ring Just
as she might throw a wet towel
around. After taking numerous
jolts and jostlings. the determined
Evans displayed the true danger Of
a female. Climbing back into the
ring, from which the rough Elvira
had just tossed her rarine Rose
opened up with an offensive equal
to any witnessed hare. Selling The

10000 Waves Needed
To Replace Navy Men

Waves also work at jobs similar
tc those they had in civilian life
except that their skills are applied
to more vital and interesting
things. Telephone operators send
and receive urgent calls, secre-
taries learn Of admirals' decisions
and teletypists handle cable codes
Of extreme importance.
Brown urged Wilmington women
who have been stirred by the news
Of the invasion, TO help bring back
their brothers, sons and husbands
soon and shorten the war by join
ing the Waves. Pointing to the ex-
cellent record for enlistments held
by Raleigh, Charlotte and Salisbury
which enlist about 100 Waves, a
month, he asked that Wilmington
join these three in setting mark
for North Carolina.
Detailed information concern
ing the Waves may be obtained
from the local eecuriting office in
the Post Office

Vie 3orren, Of the Detroit

fine showing against the Paris Is

The Shipyarders are reported in
excellent shape for the contest. Tn
lineup has been strengthened by the
addition of Elmer Bohanan at third

With Britain and Sorrell as a

Roosevelt, De Gaulle
Expected To Haze Talk

WASHINGTON, June 9lR-The
possibility arose today that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and General Charles
De Gaulle, who do not gee eye to
eye on the administration Of French
affairs, may have a man-to-mau
talk in Washington this summer.
President Roosevelt said at
press conference that Vice Ad-
miral Raymond Fenard, head of
the French naval mission, had visit
ed him to ask if the President
would be willing to receive De
Gaulle, who is leader of the French
Committee of Liberation.
The President said he informed
Fenard that he would be happy
to Sc General De Gaulle late this
month or during the second week
ir July.

Refugee Shelters
Will Be Doubled

WASHINGTON. June 9. -(P)-
Refugees are streaming out Of Eu-
rope in such numbers that shelter
centers will have to be doubled in
capacity, President Roosevelt said
today in announcing that 1000 will
be brought to this country and
housed at Fort Ontario, Oswego,
N. Y.
Mr.. Roosevelt told a news ON
ference that 1900 refugees reach
ed southern Italy last week from
Yugoslavia alone. He said Ravens
already established at Casablanca
and elsewhere in the Mediterra-
mean area have facilities to care for
10000 and that these will be ex-
banded and new ones established
to make room for 10000.

SPORTS TRAIL

added to the IA he already had,
would enable him to break VIII
sons record by about a three-base
hit.
The catch to it all, or rather, the
handicap OFT is facing, is that all
the games won't be played in the
Polo Grounds, where Mel has that
258-foot right field line charted for
depth, at high and low tide.
Most Of his home runs are hit
there, although it doesn't necessari-
~ follow he doesn't hit a long
enough tee ehot to ring the bell in
other parks. In fact, in 1898 he hit
homers in every National league
park. However, he plays half his
games in the Polo grounds with
its short fence, and it stande to
reason his total would be greater
there as many Of the blows would
be just long cuts in other parks.
Has A1Dsd Confidence
Otis early success this year
seems to have given him an added
confidence in his slugging. although
if he'd just glance at his record
every time he went to bat he
shouldn't need any further bolster
ing. He always has had remark
able eye for ballc andd strikes,
and every time he walks he sets
a league record. The pitchers
wouldn't make them too good for
him and he wouldn't bite at bad
ones.
Now, however, he's plastering
them wherever they are. Last
Wednesday he stepped back and
the recent Cub series he stepped
forward and dittoed with an out
side pitch. They've got to be pretty
bad now before he can't find any
good in them, and that attitude
should give his home run total a
boost.
