ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16.-President
Sam Breadon of the world cham
pion St. Louis Cardinals thinks
baseball deserves praise for its con-
tribution to the war effort.
Saying that over 45O men from
the Cardinal organization have
gone into the armed forces, some of
them becoming casualties, he de-
clared emphatically: Il know of no
club Official or ball player who has
asked any favors from his draft
board or examining board.
Il think when thought is given to
what baseball has done, instead of
criticism we merit praise" Speak
ing for the Cardinals, he said;

In what will be their final out
of-town tournament for the dura-
ton of the war or until the travel
situation is relieved, seven Capital
bowlers today headed for Whitman
tic. Conn, where tomorrow they
will compete in the 18th annual
Eastern Open, New England's FORE
most duckpin stake event.
Making this trip appears to be a
violation of the order of the Ma
tional Bowling Council which at its
meeting here several days ago or
dered cancellation throughout the
Nation of all bowling tournaments
requiring travel.
But before leaving today for Con-
necticut. Arville Ebersole, chairman
of the council and executive secre-
tary of the National Duckpin Bowl
ing Congress said: I'VE were not
ordered by the ODT to cancel tour
naments requiring travel. 1t was
a patriotic gesture on the part of
the council and one we intend to
carry out.
cat first, the council considered
setting date when all tournaments
except local events would be asked
to discontinue. but the council be-
lieved that such an immediate
breakdown would be unnecessary
and that in short time all bowling
factions would cooperate.
st. Patrick's Event OFF.
after the Eastern, all duckpir
tournaments requiring travel will
end with the exception of two wom-
ems events, the Oriole in Baltimore
on February "a and the Lorraine
GULL, to be held here the following
day. Only bowlers of these cities
will compete in the two events
That the duckpin game intends to
comply with the edict of the Ma
tional Bowling Council came from
North Carolina yesterday, where the
Forthcoming State tournament has
been Cancelled.
Earle Stocking. originator Of the
st. Patrick's Day mixed doubles
tourney, and Gene Raney, pro-
prietor of the Silver Spring drives,
where the big event was scheduled.
have agreed to call off the affair.
Council officials today reaffirmed
their action to relieve the civilian
burden on transportation by declar-
ing that tournaments requiring
travel and hotel accommodations
are off the boards.
Elmer Baumgarten, member OF
the council and secretary of the
American Bowling Congress, said:
TT is quite true that the council
itself does not have authority tc
make such cancellations, but indi.
viduals who comprise the council a:
representatives of bowling associa
tions do have the authority to ordel
cancellations within their respec'
tive groups.
This isn't matter of beini
compelled to cancel" he said. Can
these people see the necessity o
canceling without a Government
crackdown?"

Apparently this order of the

Tigers Edge Yankees
to Break Losing Streak

here Q TO 4 while the Browns
smacked the second place Sen
ators twice at Washington.
The twin defeat cooled off the
Senator's hopes of grabbing off
first place from the Tigers, who
had dropped the first four games
of their eastern road trip.
The Tigers, whose offense had
begged down in their series at
Boston and the series opener
with the Yankees, unleashed a
IL hit barraae against Bill Zuber
and grabbed a 8 to 0 lead be-
fore the last half of the eighth
came along.
Overmire spanked the offense
with two hits-one adouble-and
got some potent assistance from
Hank Greenberg, Mayo, Swift
and Cullenbine. The latter
homered into the left field stands
in the eighth as the O'Neill men
beat Zuber for the third time
this season.
Overmire, who got credit for
his seventh win as against five
defeats, tired a little in the last
of the eighth as the Yankees
went TO work on him.
A walk and four hits, one a
double, sent four Yankees sour
rying across the plate to spoil
the Grand Rapids pitchers hopes
of a shutout.
Lefty Hal Newhouser, with a
record of ID wins and 6 defeats
was due TO work for Detroit in
the series final today with Get
tel, a and 3 pitcher, scheduled
to 60 for the Yankees.

Washington to open four game
series with the second place Sen
