 ROUNDUP

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 = Hugh dosing pitcher) Mulcahy has been shipped home by the Phillies to rest and regain his strength. He was tuckered out and under weight when he rejoined the club after long service in the Pacific. That may be tip to other teams that are looking forward hopefully to the return of ath- letes who have been where the going really was tough-or maybe it's just that Hughey wasn't in shape to stand watching a club like the Phils. .. Some of the tough decisions that will have to be made at the meeting of the International Olympic Executive Committee in London, starting Sunday, are what to do about Russia if that country should apply for membership and what's the status of nations which became Axis puppets during the war. When the American Olympic Committee met here Tues day it was strongly in favor of resuming the games in 1948, if pos sible

LEONARD IN SHUT0Ur WIN
 FROM TIGERS
Washington Now Serious Threat to Bengals in
 American League
tBy The Associated !'rcss)

Ever since Dutch Leonard knocked Detroit out of the Ameri- can League pennant on the last day of the 1944 season, the Wash ineton kleball artist has pitched against the Tigers like he owned them.
 Leonard has trimmed the Bengals four straight counting that fateful Al job last october l, after he had been propositioned by gambler looking for sure thing. Dutch slammed down the phone and went out to hang a hex on the Motor City that hasn't been broken yet
 Opening a vital four-game series at Briggs Stadium yesterday with a brilliant go shutout of the league leaders behind Leonard's four-hit throwing, Washington must be recognized as serious threat to the pase setters.
 The Chicago White Sox, who have won 10 of their last IA, also are advancing in the race Bill Dietrich stopped Boston, 5-l, first of two and Orval Grove bettered the job by blanking the Red Sox, 1l-O in the other half.
 Cleveland edged into the first division for the first time on Steve Grcmek's fifteenth win, an 8-3 job over Philadelphia, while St. Louis bumped off New York, lo-4. Red RuffIng, who had won his first three starts for the Tanks since his release fromI the Army, was the loser.
 Chicago's Cubs tore R-ooklyn apart with a 206 barrage that all but exploded the Dodgers penant dreams. Two homers by Paul Gill lespie, one with the sacks loaded in the first inning, set the pace for the Bruins. Hank BoroWy coasted to his third decision.
 The defending champion St. Louis Cardinals lost more ground when they split twi-night pair in Philadelphia, lowing to the Phil lies, 8-5, but bouncing back for an even break, TO, on Rookie Glen Gardner's first big league start.
 Pittsburgh advanced to within a game of fourth-place New York by out-slugging the Giants, ll-9, and then easing out a 3-2 second game shade on Nick Strincevich's four blow chucking
 Cincinnati continued it's weary eastern tour, dropping it's twelfth and thirteenth in row in Boston, 10-5 and 1895. Tommy Holmes of the Braves hit two over the wall to take the major home run lead with 20.

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO ON AGAIN

The night was March 18th in 1943. The newest member of the staff of the USO had just arrived in Juneau He walked into the lounge of the clubhouse for the first time. As he did so he heard the juke box playing When the Lights Go On Again, All Over the World"
 That song, by then, was no longer new, of course The man had often heard it before, had never been more than moderately im- pressed with it. But that night, for some reason tor perhaps for a number of reasons, or possibly for no understandable reason) that particular recording of that par ticular song became for him the most moving war song he had ever heard. From that moment it was lodged in his heart and he could not tear it loose.
 . :. And the ships will sail again, all over the world .' That time is sure to come, the man said to himself, all over the world but not for a long, weary while. And in the meantime, the ships must sail through the mists toward Massacre Bay on Attn and they must carry American boys to their deaths on the bcachheads of Italy and some of these ships will be blown to bits in the | attempt to invade France and others will be caught cruelly cn the barbed-wire submerged along the shores of the Marianas and the Gilberts and there'll be others that will successfully land their men on the beaches of the islands in the very shadow of Japan safely land them there tc have them fight and die in the winning and the holding of those | islands.
 And rain or snow is all that will fall from the skies above .' The man knew, of course that it wasn't likely there'd be any bombing of Southeast Alasks at any time, though you couldnt be sure about even that, wha with the enemy occupying the fal Aleutians. But he and every. one else had friends among tn, servicemen and the civilians who II the war lasted couple of years certainly were doomed to suffe the horror of death or terrible

NEW csc COUNCIL

No mere paragraph or two can adequately express what we think of the Girls Service Organization of the Juneau USO. Tn saying this, we speak with assurance not only for the staff but also for all the men served by the club.
 Since space is limited today, we'll not try to make even a start in that direction. We'll simply list the names of the IA girls who have just been paid the compli- ment Of being named to lead the GSO as it's council. They are Ruth Brooks, I'hais Bayers, Fanny" Eden, Jennie Johnson. Emma Nielsen, Sally Olson, Edith Moore, Joy Roberts, Jean Shaw Mary Shaw, Evelyn Spain, Audrey Steele, Mary Vending and Irene Williams.
 After reading that list, you ap- preciate why we are confident that the GSO during the coming months will do more than it's full share to make certain that the USO will maintain its tradition of helpfulness and friendliness.

THE FuTuRE

At least 50 times in the past 24 hours we've been asked: How much longer will the Juneau USO be open?"
 To answer the question exactly is impossible But it isn't at all difficult to give a general answer. It is this: Undoubtedly it will be open for at least six months,- probably much longer"
 More than five years ago the national organization of the USO was created by the American people to take care of the men and women in the service. Tn obedience to the mandate of the people, hundreds of overseas clubs were founded, including the one here in Juneau. It was understood then (as it is understood now) that this club, as well as all the others, would con- tinue as long as the need for ii existed
 No one can be sure about the exact scope of the need in the future. But it appears certain that with the movement of the many thousands of troops that is sure to take place throughout the Terri tory during the next six months probably much longerl, there will be an acute need for the local club at least for that period. And it is certainty that if the need exists the USO will be prepared to meet it.

wounds inflicted from the air.
 A kiss won't mean 'good- by but hello to love .' To sense the anguish of even one couple about to be separated is beyond the capacity of any other person: the man knew this. To comprehend the heartbreak of the whole world in it's farewells is something spared all but God. Yet the man was aware that loneli- ness and darkest grief beyond his imagining were to be in store for people everywhere until the lights went on again all over the world
 And so it was, on an afternoon in the middle of the month of August two and a half years later, that the man stood near the piano of the USO club ill Juneau and listened to the singing of a song. It was a song being sung by young girl, who, although not yet Is years of age, happens to hold in the mans heart a place of unique affection. It was song he had asked her to sing especially for him on this great day in the history of all the peoples of the earth.
 There was only single song he could have selected. And so she sang for him When the Lights Go On Again, All Over the World"
