MAJ. SUB MENACE
CONQUERED IN ~

AP Features
The ability of the Allies to
crack Germany's submarine war
fare spelled the beginning of the
end for the Axis as huge conveys
of war material sped, almost
without challenge, from the
United States, arsenal of the de-
mocracies, to fighting fronts all
over the world.
The peak of the U-boat toll was
reached in, 1912 when in ten
months Nazi submarines sunk
more than 500 vessels Of the
United Nations.
U-boats, singly and in wolf
packs, ranged U. S. coats from
the st. Lawrence to the Gulf of
Mexico sank ships within sight
of shore and in the mouth of the
Mississippi.
But Allied anti-submarine de-
vices finally gained the upper
hand. Sea-air patrols, destroyer
escorts, baby flat tops and inn
proved convoy tactics cut the tor
pedoing from high Of Ill in
June, 1912, to II in October of
the same year.
Thereafter the German subma-
rine menace was never a major
threat.

A oNE-FRoNT WAR TT

The sober and seemly observance Of
We Day, as President Truman has re-
quested of the nation and Governor Cald-
well of Florida, probably win have much
to do with shaping its own ends. for the
simple reason that the announcement of
the cessation of hostilities in Europe will
add little to what we know already.
As fact, apparent to all of us, is
that the declaration means that about
$4,000 more German troops have sur
rendered Internationally, whereas, during
last week, more than 100000 Nazis
laid down their arms under the same con-
dition. AS news commentators in Paris
said yesterday, the burst of enthusiasm
that would have greeted We Day by gen.
eral surrender will lose most of its volume,
because it has been discounted by the col
lapse of several times as many German
troops than those that still remain in arms.
What the Paris commentators said has
been heard in Key West for several days.
''The war in Europe is practically over"
has been said by many Key Westers, and
it could have been added, only the final
stroke remains to be delivered.
Even before the beginning of last
week, the thoughts of war leaders in the
United States and Great Britain had been
turning to the Pacific. AS was announced
Friday, the United States had already be.
gun to transfer men, planes and ships to
the Pacific theater, and Prime Minister
Churchill said in the House of Commons,

ferred an unannounced number of war
ships to the Pacific and Indian oceans.
The war now is a one-front war.

Grimm Well Pleased With Chicago Cubs
Cubs Tee Off On Tiger

and Livingston each clouted two
clean hits. Hack got the other Cub
hit, a single.
Eddie Mayo, Tiger second base
man, was the only man to solve
Borowy twice. and he never look
ed like scoring. He had nobody to
drive him in. The Bengals' only
scoring chance came in the fifth.
when Mayo led off with a clout to
LETT and Greenberg followed him
an out later with bruising sim
gle to center. Mayo, however.
made the mistake of trying to
reach third on the sock, and Pafko
cut him down at third with per-
feet peg to Hack which caught the
Tiger, sparkplug ten feet from the
bag.
Outside of that, the Tigers made
two blows off Borowy in only one
inning, the first. Skeeter Webb and
Mayo led the opening heat with
successive singles and two other
Tigers worked Borowy for walks,
but nothing came of it, principally
because the Cubs infield frightened
up and produced fast double play
where it counted.
The fielding gem of the contest,
which produced several and was
not blemished by an error, prob
ably was the stop by Cavarretta
of smash by Webb down the first
base line in the third inning. The
Cubs star - and he convinced a
lot of American Leaguers today
that he is a very fine player in-
deed - dove into the dirt about
10 feet back of first and came up
with the ball in time to toss it to
BoroWy for the putout.
The weather was uncomfortable,
to say the least. Few World Sc
ries fans ever have enough sense
to carry an overcoat, and they suf-
fered today for their lapses. The
temperature at game time was As
degrees, which is only shortly
above the frost line. Detroit s
trainer produced a couple Of heat
ers to warm up the Tigers niNs
in the dugout, but it was of no APP
preciable benefit once Borowy be-
gan sailing his snoWballs.
Manager Grimm of the victori-
GUS National Leagers announced
in the dressing room he would
, throw Hank Wyse, who won % and
lost 10 in the regular season,
against the Tigers tomorrow.
. Steve O'Neill chose Virgil Trucks,
the righthanded fast-baller who
just was released from the Navy,
to try to pitch his club back into
the championship.
Trucks held the st. Louis Browns
to three hits for five and a fraction
innings last Sunday in his only big
r league pitching appearance for
} some two years. He has a fast
: ball that has been comparu tc
: Bobby Feller's, and a fairly good
