The British rely upon fish to supple
ment their meagre meat ration (about one
pound a week., but the quantity available
is very small-not more than about AZ
ounces a week for each person. One rea-
son for this is that ships Of the deep sea
trawler fleet have been converted into
minesweepers, and much of the fishing
round Britain's shores is now done by
small boats, with the result that the avail
able quantity of fish for British consum-
ers has been reduced by about one-third.

Draft Head "Helps Browns, Cubs, White Sox
Crack Field For S5,OOO Williams Race Saturday

Pawtucket, R. l., May 23.-WeightS for the Roger Williams Handicap were released this morning by Rac- ing Secretary and Handicapper Ty Shea. The Roger Williams features next Saturdays card at Narragan- sett and will be contested by three year olds and upward over one mile and sixteenth for a $5,o00 purse.
 Fifteen horses have been weighted and at first glance Trainer Ray Metcalf appears to hold aces back to back with his entry of Castleman, 124 pounds and Spangled Game, 116 pounds. The former, owned by Max MarmorStein, has already won The Inaugural and the Spring Handicap at the meeting. Both were sprint events but the big chestnut gelding has frequently demon strated his ability to get Saturdays distance. He will be hard to beat The other half of the Metcalf en- try, Spangled Game, may prove one of the best horses currently in training. This 4-year-old gelded son of Reign Count-Fancy Feathers, also has won twice at the meeting; true the races were merely allow ance affairs, but no horse can do more than win in a trot, which is exactly what Spangled Game did On December 28th last, at Tropical Park, the Metcalf horse whipped a top class field and set a new American record of TAO 3-5 for one mile and seventy yards. The entry is very formidable and will un- doubtedly be favorite at post time.

!. K. A. Girls SoffboII

Last Thursday nights games marked the opening of the sixth season for the I. R. A. Girls Soft ball league. The three games played were decided by very decisive mar gins with ragged ball handling dom- mating for the most part. The poor showing can be directly at tributed to lack of practice for all the teams concerned due to the can- tinued rainy spell of the past few weeks.
 Tine BenruS lassieS made the best showing in the openers by down. ing a game Chase team by g to 3 score even though they scored all their runs in one inning. Millie Buglione, veteran pitcher for the WatchmakerS,, showed mid-seaSon form and was ably backed up by Captain Teresa Ficto at first, Mary Andrews at third, and Joe KosloW- sky in center field.
 Standout
 Waterbury Manufacturing de- fenaing champions, gave evidence that they are the team to beat again this year by shutting out the s. E.. R. A. combine to the tune of 16 to 0. The Scovill girls made a sur prisingly weak showing for a team which copped the league champion ship only two years back. Coach Ray Ouimet predicts his charges will make a better showing in their next game. He plans the addi- tion of several new faces to the lineup. Waterbury Manufacturing played the opener without the ser vices of their captain. Tessie Ja- cohs, who was taken ill and rushed to the hospital that morning.
 Joe Cavanaugh's U. s. Time Bom- bardears had little trouble in their starter, downing Scovill Waterville E. R. A., freshman enry in the League by IA to 0 score. Ann Scndernan, of basketball fame, turned out to be a speedball artist on the mound, limiting her oppon- ents to two scratch hits.
 Tomorrow nights slate offers two feature games. The U. s. Rub Der kedettes, drawing a bye last week, will make their initial start against the hard hitting Waterbury Mfg. Go. team at Fulton Park. Rubber is the dark horse entry in the Laegue this year and are eX- pected to make a strong bid for the crown.
 The other feature game finds Benrus matched against U s. Time at Waterville Park. Pat Quiiter is taking some time off this year from his coaching duties with the Wash ington Hills, c. A. L. entry, to coach the Benrus maidens. He feels confident he has a winning combination but Joe Cavanaugh is equally confident that his BMom- bardears will hang up victory num- Der two at the expense of Benrus. Incidentally, Benrus is bound to miss the services of Rose DeLeon, stellar third sacker and veteran of three previous campaigns with their team, who this year is per- forming with professional girls softpall team in New Jersey.
 Supervisor Ed McGrath last night announced the complethe schedule of tomorrow nights games, start ing at 6:15 p. m. as follows:
 Waterbury Mfg Go. vs U. s. Rub- ber at Fulton park.
 Benrus vs U. s. Time-Waterbury park, No. 1-Stanco.

 New York, May 23-UP) Catch CT Mike Fresh explains the White Sox surprising show of strength this season as follows: The best pitch ing staff in the Major Leagues is clicking, and the rest of the club is supporting the pitchers by driving in runs."
 Big Mike and the league-leading ChicagoanS are in town for a four game series with the Tanks, open ing today. It will be the season s first competition between the two outfits, their previous starts at Chi cago having been washed out.
 Fresh, a brawny six-footer with Hvy brown hair, talked about the Chisox last night in his hotel room. Ats roommate, pitcher Thornton Lee lounged in bed. Big Thornton's dreamland uniform was pink striped pajamas. Fresh nodded toward Lee and chuckled: He's an early-to-bed early -to-rise guy"
 A reporter asked Fresh if he were surprised at the White Sox show ing. They had finished seventh in the American League race last sea- son.
 Amiable Mike grinned and said, "yes' I was surprised-but only mild ly so. I could tell in spring training that we were getting set to give the other clubs fight. We had fine training weather at Terre Haute. It was a lot different from the two pre- yious springs at French lick.
 Because of the good weather, our pitchers were able to round into shape early. They bore down in practice, and the batters sharpened their eyes hitting against them. We got in plenty of good, tough bat ting practice-something for which there is no substitute.
 we were in good shape when the season opened, and We got of to a fine start. Seems to me we won nine of our first 12 games. This was grand for the clubs nor ale. It turned the White Sox into an ambitious, hustling club that will be hard to stop-unless we get some unlucky breaks. We're play ing the best ball now since I've been with the Sox, and this is my eighth season with them. That's counting the half-season of 1888 when I joined them"
 The 31-year-old backstop said he considered effective pitching the most important factor in the clubs recent successes. He emphasized that Chicago has "the best pitch

GIANTS AND
 DODGERS GET
 TEST IN WEST
BY CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff CorreSpondent

New York, May 23- (UP)-The National League goes west today and the American League moves east, and the trips are necessary for the leaders of both leagues-if they art to prove their rights to the leads.
 Mel Otis New York Giants, pace makers in the National League with 21 victories in 28 games, most of them at the Polo Grounds, play a night game at Cincinnati. This four game Giant-Reds series probably will be the most closely watched of the east-West meetings.
 The second place Brooklyn Dod- gers meet St. Louis in four night games, beginning tonight, and must win at least once to hold second against the rallying Cardinals. Brooklyn hopes in this 14-game western swing are not enhanced by knowledge that star catcher Mickey Owen may not even play all of the St. Louis games before entering the Army.
 Boston plays at Pittsburgh and Philadelphia at Chicago in the other games. The Cubs were ,trong pre- |season favoritieS but their stock drop ped after they lost nine of their first 12 games in the recently completed road trip. But the Chicagoans are a good home club and apparently are on the upbeat, since they whipped Brooklyn at Ebbets field in their latest appearances. The series with the P Phillies won't hurt their chances.
 Gray Is Magnet
 The American Leagues Western teams are coming east for the first time, and one-arnled Pete Gray of the St. Louis Browns is arousing more interest than he Chicago White SoX, who have good pitching and timely hitting and still are a surprise because they're leading the league.
 Gray faces Bostons candidate for ''rookie-of the-year Pitcher Dave Ferriss-in standout game today, and this individual duel almost ob- scures he fact that the Browns Have WOI4 elS4lU Ol GIltll 1dSI lllllt games and are only two games out of first place.
 Chicago is at New York, and this matching of the first-place and fourth-place teams enrures some first-division juggling. The Yankees shut out Philadelphia yesterday, 3 to 0, in twilight game that was the only Major League activity. Hank BoroWy won his sixth game against one defeat despite the fact he had to leave the game in the seventh inning with a blistered finger Catcher Herb Crompton drove in all the Yankee runs with two singles.
 This victory brought New York within one and a half games of De- troit and St. Louis, who are tied for second two games behind Chicago.
 Detroit plays at Philadelphia in an afternoon contest and Cleveland at Washington in night game to complete the juniorloop schedule.

 Chicago, May 23-(UP)--The Se- lective Services decision to defer men 30 years old or over will serve as a boon to all major league base ball teams, particularly the St. Louis Browns, the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox.
 A United Press survey showed to- day that the order will affect some 16O players 30 years or older in the major leaguges, including key men on most of the teams. This is based on the assumption that big league baseball is work contributing to the national welfare"
 The Selective Services action gave the Cubs the biggest boost, re- leasing three of their top players. Chief beneficiary will be Bill Nichol- son. who has been the National Leagues home run and runS-batted- in champion the past two seasons. The big Maryland farmer was 30 years old last December and the Cub office was fearful that he would be drafted before the season ends.
 The order also ends the possibil- ity that second baseman Don John- son, 34, and third baseman Stan Hack, 36, both Cub regulars, will be called.
 Etten Saved
 The New York Yankees will re- ceive a shot in the arm because Nick Etten, their hardhitting first baseman, falls in the 30-or-over class. Etten who was 30 last Sep- tember, recently was reclassified IA by his Chicago draft board.
 The White Sox' entire outfield of Johnny Dickshot, Oris Hochett and Wally Moses is over the 30 year mark. The order probably will save Moses, s. who was expected to be drafted within couple of weeks.
 Included among the Browns' ben- eficiaries are George McQuinn, first baseman, pitchers George Custer and Sig Jackucki and outfielder Mike Kreevich.
 Mort Cooper, the St. Louis Card- inals' pitching ace, is 31, but already has been rejected for military serv- ice twice. Teammate Blk Donnelly, pitcher, is 31, while Ken O'Dea, the World Champions No. l receiver, is 32.
 Other National League stars above the age limit are pitcher Elmer Rid- dle and first baseman Frank Me- Cormick of Cincinnati, pitcher Ace Adams of New York and pitcher Jim Tobin of Boston.
 The removal of the 3O-or-over group from the Seelctive Services active draft lists just about ends the big leagues serious manpower worries. Approximately 75 percent of the remaining major leagues are either 4-F or hold honorable dis charges

ing staff in the major leagues" /" At least six good fingers are in shape to take their turns-Lee, Grove, Haynes, Lopat, Dietrich and Humphries. Lees effectiveness this season is making a whale of a diff ference, he said. After three bad seasons, the 37-year-old SouthpaW apparently has recovered completely from arm trouble. He has won five and lost one. Last year he won only three and lost nine.
 Meanwhile. the club has been hit ting well-paced by veteran Tony Cuccinello, who leads the league witha robust .356. "The boys are driving in runs," Fresh said. T believe our runs-batted- n-average is better than that of any other club in the league. This is a big difference from last season when we scored only three or less runs in 78 of the games we lost. In addi- ton, there's new hustle and cer- tainty in our play afield. Cuccinello is doing a grand job in that depart ment, too"
 The reporter sought out Fresh to get the loW-down on the ChisoX because the Ukrainian backstop from Allen Park, Mich, is one of the clubs brain guys. While not great hitter, his receiving ability and all-around baseball savvy makes him a key man in the clubs opera tions. Manager Jimmy Dykes has all-out confidence in Mikes judg- ment, and usually gives him free rein in calling the plays.
 When Fresh says. the White SoX will be har5 to stop" he should know what he's talking about.

Ferris vs. Groy

Boston, May 23-(UP)-The Red Sox were counting on their sensa- tional rookie Dave Ferriss to pitch them out of the American League cellar today as they opened long home stay with series against the champion St. Louis Browns.
 Shooting for his fifth straight Major League victory, the ambidex- trous eX-soldier was scheduled to face Jack Kramer who has won three games while losing one for the Brownies. The game will mark the Eastern debut of Pete Gray, the BrownS' one-armed outfielder. and he was expected to draw one of the largest weekday crowds in recent years at Fenway Park.
