POLISH GIRLS SILK SLIP
 ESCAPE FROM PRISON
RY YERNON EDWARDs

New Xork-Thanks to a patched silk slip, which caught the eye of her prison guard, Polish-born Sa- nina Bilmska was able tc escape from Siberian prison camp and finally make her way to America.
 The 25-year-old daughter of a Warsaw diamond merchant was va- cationing in eastern Poland in 1940 when the Russians seized that part of the country before Germany could. With the signing of the Mol otov-von Ribbentrop pact, Sabina registered to return home. After weeks of waiting she was crowded into a train, 30 to the car, and be- gan her journey-presumably to Warsaw.
 Days later she discovered that the train was headed for Siberia. For a month they travelled with out sanitary facilities. Some died and were left along the way. Ven- dorS who came aboard charged three dollars for a glass of milk On the 31st day the prison train stopped at a siding 30 miles north or Tomsk, and there the 2000 men and women were quartered to- gether in barracks.
 Given squares of cotton quilt ing to sew into sack-like garments, the men were scarcely distinguish able from the women as they worked together felling trees in a nearby lumber camp.
 While working at the lumber camp, Sabina contracted measles. Because there was no heat in the hospital shack she developed pneu- monia. Precipitation froze her head to the cot. A fellow patient, dis covering that she could not turn her head, loosened it by applying warm packs to her hair.
 One morning a Milice (Russian woman guard entered Sabina's quarters just as she had put on her one remaining luxury-a silk slip.
 The Milice gasped in amazement: "You have riches such as this in your country, Poland? have never seen such fine cloth. If you ever need money, will buy your slip"
 At the time Sabina had little use for money. But shortly after her re- covery she heard that Polish Prime Minister Gen. Wladislaw Sikorski had arranged to send an army to aid Russia. If she could raise the

CARDS AGAIN
 LEAN ON STAR ROOKIE PITCHER
By CARL LUNDQUIST Limited Press Staff CorrespOndent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York. June 23-(UP)-For the fifth straight season, the St. Louis Cardinals are pinning their pennant hopes on prize rookie pitcher harvested" of one of their various victory farms"
 This time it is 29-year-old Ken meth Burkhardt, slender six-foot, one-inch right handler from the Columbus Red Birds, who has come to the rescue at time when the staff was riddled and reeling. It has become almost a game. A standout pitcher goes into military service and master farmer, Sam Breadon, takes look at the Card inal "crop bulletins goes to one of their farm clubs and picks out likely looking replacement. In matter of. weeks, it seems, the new man becomes star and his predecessor is forgotten.
 Burkhardt, who won IS games at Columbus last year, got his chance when Max Lanier went into the service. Promoted to starting duty, he has won seven games and lost three for the best record of any hurler on the staff.
 Last year it was Ted Wilks who was the rookie sensation with IT wins and only four defeats. In 1943 Alpha Brazle came up at mid-sea- son when Howie Pollet was called into service and won eight games, losing only two. Johnny Beazley's strong right hand slants paced the Cards to a pennant in 1942 when he won 21 and lost six as a freshman. And in 1941 Ernie White came out of Houston. Tex, to win 10 and lose two in his first year
 Burkhardt gave the Cards their fifth victory in six starts yesterday, pitching a f1ve-hit, 5 to game against the Cubs at Chicago. He held them hitless for five innings, then relaxed after being given a comfortable lead. Elvin (Buster) Adams paced the attack with three hits. Harry Lowrey hit a Cub homer.
 Brooklyn's redoubtable Dodgers stretched their lead to three and a half games with 8 ninth inning, 8 to ' victory over the Braves, achieved on Howie Schultzs screeching single which scored Augie Galan. Both starting pitch CTS Mort Cooper and Halgregg went out incapacitated. Cooper suffered arm trouble and Gregg had a re- currence of back ailment. It was Brooklyn,s sixth straight and the 18th win in IA games.
