1t was the tenth straight VIC
tory for Green Bay over the Lions
and topped the so points they
scored in 1910 when they started
the streak.
Despite the one-sidedneSs OF the
score, the Lions had an edge in
the figures. They tailed Is first
downs to seven. gained 381 yards
to POS for the winners. But Green
Bay scored five touchdowns before
they made their first down of the
game. e.--------------------
The Packer blitz came with
shocking suddennesS and left the
Lions groggy as touchdown after
touchdown seemed TO rain out of
the sky. The six touchdownS in
the second quarter needed a total
of nine plays, all forwards, and
quickly wiped out the Lions early
lead. The Packers didn't use a
running play during the period.
CHUCK GOES OVER
The Lions first touchdown was
set up by McKay's punt that went
out of bounds on the Packers 30.
Charley Fennenbock passed TO
Jack Matheson for a first down
on the IL and then Fennenbock
crashed over from the IL.

Gerry Couture, Rollie Rossignol

Adams as the Detroiters beat
Cleveland for the third time. The
teams will play again here Thurs
day, twice this weekend in Cleve-

Omaha teams are scheduled to

and Bill Quackenbush as one de-
fense pair, Harold Jackson and
Doug McCraig as the other and
threw in Hugh Millar, a stocky
former Omaha player, as a relief
man. Ross Lefty Wilson, former
Toronto navy goalie, replaced

CONACHER STARS

It was lanky Jim Conacher,
22-year-old forward just out Of
the RCAF, who made tn Q left
wings worry. A lanky red-head
with A brush haircut, he played
for Omaha in the American AS
sociation before going into the air
force.
Conacher scored one goal
against the American LeaguerS,
set up two others and was stand
out on the line with Eddie Bru-
neteau and Norman McAtee,
brother of Jud. who played for the
Wings last year.
Wing coaches inferred that
Conacher's play. together with
that of Adam Brown, Ted Lindsay
and Harry Watson makes il ap-
pear that Carl Liscombe and Jud
McAtee, last years veterans, will
have to cut loose to keep their left

ONE SHORT

In yesterdays game he hit three
doubles, one short Of the record
set by Frank Isbell in 1906, when
the Cubs played the White SoX.
But in that game Isbell hit four
grounders into an overflow crowd
and got the record because Of
ground rules.
Actually, Greenberg would have
had five hits yesterday with any
kind of luck. In the first inning
he hit a ball that found the vet
eran Stan Hack going TO his left,
scooping into the dirt on hard
hit ball and getting the throw TO
first too late. Many writer's
thought the scorers would have
been fairer both 10 Greenberg and
TO Hack to have scored it a hit
instead of an error.

handed catch to rob him in the
third.
This will he your greatest
hitting series, won't it," Hank
was asked in the dressing room.
81 can tell you later" he said.
81 didn't do so badly against
Cincinnati in 1910. Hit .357."
Asked about Borowy, he said:
"He wasn't as fast today. And
neither were the pitchers who
followed him as good. They've
been working pretty often, some
OF these Cubs, especially Erick-
son and Derringer. They have
less each time they come In"
Both Hank and Eddie Mayo had
stumbled rounding first in the
Sabbath battle. Eddie got up and
settled for a single. But Hank
managed 10 20 all the way.
I'm not hurt" he said.
"There Is a soft spot around first
and YOU sort of sink up when
you hit IT,"
yep" countered Steve
ONeill. "The Cubs know where
that spot happens TO be and we
don't"
There was considerable singing
under the showers after yester-
days victory. But the Tigers as
a group are not much of a demon
strative group.
Diz Trout and Hank are the best
takers. and therefore get most Of
the quotes from visiting firemen.
After his victory the day before.
Trout didn't seem like the same
man. lie was out in infeld prac-
tice and the loudest of all Tigers

with the Cubs for the first-game
defeat in Detroit.

THE BIG PROBLEM

Anyway, the way the games in
our street went, Ruby would give
the ball the howdy-do about every
third inning and it would roll into
the sewer. Whereupon, Ruby
would yell:
'Tn the suey! In the suey!"
Under our ground rules that
was a home run. But there was
one additional stipulation. The
guy who had hit the ball had to
crawl down the sewer and re-
cover IL.
And either he did recover il or
the game was called. Not on ac-
count of rain or darkness. But be-
cause there was no more baseball
10 play with until one or the
other of us could have a heart TO
heart talk with his dad. Or some
body who would supply the two
bits to keep the national pastime
blooming in our set.
Thus, yesterday In one Of the
most weird Worlds Series ball
games ever played and in which
tall men from Detroit beat the
fat men from Chicago. 3 to 4,
every time anybody hit n fly
ball In the late innings I would
start chanting to myself, 'in
the suey! In the suey!" II was

II reminded me Of when
was a Kid playing ball In the
streets back home. There was a
big open rainwater sewer on
the corner Of our block and a
ditch that led down TO II. The
rightfielder of our team was n
little colored boy named Ruby,

Zonta Club Hears
Museum Director

"Hagerstown has become intro
spective and complacent during the
past years, contenting herself with
the growth of local industry and los
ing sight of the cultural develop
ments that make a town, or locality,
important and memorable" So said
DR.. John Craft, director of the Wash
ington County Museum of Fine Arts,
in talk on "The Need For Higher
Education in Hagerstown," at the
regular dinner meeting of the Zonta
Club, at the Hotel Hamilton, yester-
day evening.
The speaker also suggested that
Hagerstown and its environs could
be presented as a desirable location
for one, or more, preparatory schools
or colleges, which would provide
much needed intellectual stimulus
to the community.
A number of guests were present,
at the meeting, at which the decora-
tons of autumn leaves, flowers and
lighted pumpkins, carried out the
motif.

the Party, with all elements drawn
together into one great team and

Touching on the national situation,
Mr. Mills referred to an address
given in Baltimore the previous
week, in which the speaker stated
that: The road map for the future
is contained in the language of the
Declaration of Independence, the

Army Recruiting
Office Now Open
Re Enlistments Outnumber
New Recruits So Far Says &C.

Re-enlistments in the u. S. Army
have far exceeded new enlistments
in the past few days, according to
Lit. Col. Albert j, Steinhardt, officer
in charge of the new recruiting sta
ton in the Earle building.
In pointing out this fact, Colonel
Steinhardt urges that 18-yearsolds,
subject to the draft, acquaint them
selves with the provisions of the
new Volunteer Recruiting Act, now
law, which gives the enlistee sign
ing up for three-year period his
choice of branch of service as well
as theatre of service. Thus, a boy
interested in engineering may en-
list in the Engineers and select the
part of the world in which he wants
to serve. Those enlisting for shorter
periods are assigned without refer
ence to personal preference.
The new recruiting office, which
occupies the entire seventh floor of
the Earle building, comprising fiji
teen rooms, is at present stated with
II Army personnel, but will be
augmented by nine civilian clerical
workers, who have been requisi-
toned by Col. Steinhardt through
Civil Service. The present office is
designed to serve the entire Western
Maryland area including Cumber-
land, and when completed will have
complete facilities for physical ex-
aminations, at present being handled
at Camp Richie
Col. Steinhardt, a veteran of forty
years service, was assigned to Hag-
erstown by the Adjutant Generals
Office. For the past four and half
years he has served on the staff of
General Joseph Byron as chief of
the Army Exchange Branch, Third
Service Command in Baltimore.

DURELY
/ OFFICIAL
By BALLOT BOX

While Senator Radcliffe is the only
definitely known candidate for any
elective Office in 1946-he very plain
ly intimated a few days ago, that
any Democrat aspiring to take his
place in the u. S. Senate would have
to fight it out with him in the Pri-
mary-recent speeches indicate that
three gentlemen will unquestionably
be gubernatorial candidates.
The speeches of Governor Herbert
O'Conor and Harry S. Byrd at the
recent Firemen's Convention in Ha-
gerstown very plainly limited that
the Governor intended to run again.
A few days later, in an address
before the Baltimore Advertising
Club, Col. William Preston Lane, Jr.,
Hagerstown publisher, and Democrat
National Committeeman, threw his
hat into the ring in no uncertain
manner.
Then, on Monday, speaking before
the Federation of Republican Wom-
en- of Maryland, at luncheon meet
ing in Baltimore, H. L. Mills, Hagers-
town merchant, opened his campaign
for the Republican nomination.
Both Colonel Lane and Mr.. Mills
are already very much on the job
and, if l know these gentlemen, they
will be right in there fighting until
the last ballot is counted.
OF course there will be plenty of
jockeying for position during the
next couple of months, with nothing
definite developing before about the
middle of January. But, from the
way it looks now, both the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are headed for
pretty lively primary fights.
