Plenty of Suspense

It's really an exciting play
with plenty of suspense, and we
think more actual mystery than
any play since The Bat"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-07-06

day meeting of running races is in progress.
 Meanwhile the commission awaits ruling on women jockeys by Ohio s attorney general.
 There apparently is nothing in the state racing law barring femi- nine saddle experts, nevertheless it is quite clear that the law makers didn't have women in mind when they authored the bill in 1883. All of the pronouns in the law govern ing jockeys are "he" or him. The apprentice rule also contains only 'he" or him." never "she" or "her."
 Mrs. Davis is an attractive bru- nette, and, unlike most women, doesn't hesitate to tell her age. It's 28 and she weights 104 pounds.
 Mrs. Davis has indicated that she won't battle for what she believes her right to don silks in Ohio, in the event that her application is reject ed. She says she has been riding "all my life" at fairs in Oklahoma and Nebraska where, apparently, men are men and women are jockeys.
 Horsemen at the local track mar vel at Mrs. Davis riding prowess as she puts the campaigners of E. G. (Red) Mahoney, by whom she is employed, through their paces. And one of her biggest boosters is w. c. (BilD Daly, the starter here. Daly is former jockey and son of the late Father Bill' Daly, whose ability to develop riders (men) gain ed him international fame.
 Starter Daly says of Mrs. Davis:
 She's a good .,..der. In fact, she's as good as most of the boys riding in Ohio today"
 The other morning, Mrs. Davis took a tumble from one of the horses she was exercising for her employer. Horsemen and stable hands dropped their chores and rushed to her side. She got up smiling, brushed the dust from her. self, remounted and away she went
 Mrs. Davis declared she would ex- pect no favors from her masculine rivals, should her request for a li- cense be granted. If the approval is received before the local meeting ends July IA, Mrs. Davis will ride here, the first woman jockey ir Ohio.
 Apparently, she doesn't fear the local half-mile course and its | treacherous turns.
 The management has asked its insurance company for a clarified tion of its jockey protection. In the policy, jockeys are referred to only as "he" or him, just as in the | state law.
 The insurance men, like the Buckeye law makers, didn't consider women who believe their place is ir the saddle. Mrs. Davis, for example

 TIE RAJAH'S
 MARK TODAY
BY CARL LUNDoUIsT

New York, July 6-(UP)- A fascinating lack of logic in the Major League pen nant races was threatening to complicate them hopeless Fly today.
 There have been plenty of anything can happen" sit nations, but right now the lack of consistency is at a high for the season with not even the top teams playing according to form.
 For example:
 The Cardinals, playing red-hot baseball, dropped there in row at Boston. Then the up-and-down Cubs moved in and beat the Braves four straight.
 The Reds lost two out of three to the terrible Phillies, then moved on to Brooklyn and won three out of four from the first place Dodgers. In the American league the Yam kees beat the Champion Brownies two out of three in St. Louis after dropping eight in row there. Then lost four out of five at Chi cago and three out of four at Cleveland. Inconsistent Reasons Prefonderance of rockies, who are very good or very bad by streaks. and of old timers, who have physi- cal limitations to keep them from playing their best all the time, are cited as reasons for the inconsist- ency.
 Other factors are bad travelling conditions, lot of night games and constant lineup shuffling. made necessary by uncertainty of player personnel
 The Senators and their slim catcher, Rick Terrell, made news yesterday. Going into second place for the first time this season, the Solons beat the White Sox at Chi cago, 5 to 9 for the fourth straight time to help Terrell celebrate the tying of an American league record by handling his 1,721st game Emil | (Dutch) Leonard won his ninth game and his third over the Sox. Fred Vaughn hit his first homer in the fourth and Sox Pitcher Ed Lopat went to pieces in the next inning, giving up five hits and three runs.
 Jeff Heath sent the Yankees into third place, hitting an 11th ming homer for the Indians at Cleveland to give them to 1 victory over New York. The blow ended a pitch ing duel between Ed Klieman of the Indians and Ernie Bonham. It was the eighth loss in 12 games for New York on the western trip.
 Greenberg Hero
 Hank Greenberg. pinch-hitting in the ninth, singled home two runs to give the Tigers a to victory over the Red Sox and catcher James Miller got three hits each in De- troit's 17-hit spree while Dolph Camilli paced Boston with two singles and homer. Feb Eaton, third Tiger pitcher, gained the vic- tory. Bobo Newsom lost his 12th straight

Lou Novikoff
 Probe Sought

Chicago July 6-(UP)-The Daily News today asked Sen. A. B. (Hap- py) Chandler, commissioner of base ball, to investigate the Lou Noyi- koff deal' by which the Chicago Cubs keep the Mad Russian with their Los Angeles farm club at g time when the White Sox are offer- ing $15,000 for him.
 The paper printed under a three column head on its sports page & letter written by its veteran baseball writer, Jack Ryan, and addressed to the Kentucky senator in Wash, ington, asking:
 Some people, commissioner, won- der if this is the way you want baseball to trample on players job prospects and earning power?"
 The White Sox are ready to pay $15,000 or more for Novikoff, former Cub outfielder, the Newss said. Mrs. Grace Comiskey, owner, and man. ager Jim Dykes of the Sox wired their offer to the Los Angeles club, controlled by owner P. K. Wrigley and General Manager James Calla- gher of the Cubs. They were flatly refused, the paper said.

curity and a stern attitude toward
the German people-they felt the
ban was a violation of their per-
sonal sense of duty and patriotism
Many who had no intention of
fraternizing opposed the order on
principle.
Along the Rhine here today,
doughboys mingled with attractive
girls, swimming and boating.
When one fraulein heard of the
order, she asked soldier, Does it
mean now that we can hug and

means we can only meet and talk
on the streets and in public places. -
The fraulein raised her eyebrows
at this.
There was some misunderstanding
among the Germans on relaxation
Of the ban and many thought the
nonfraternization policy had been
abolished altogether.

BILE for policing the "Postdam Con-

the right pass-you don't take a

These guardsmen have been

to its hearts content here, the
frontier guardsmen are a force
apart.
All Allied soldiers on sentry duty

present arms at the slightest hint
of an officer approaching. Soviet
guardsmen are distributed every 20

the Allied objective is to help Aus

The text of the American an
nouncement said:
General of the Army Dwight D
Eisenhower announced today a fur
tller relaxation in nonfraterniza-
ton regulations in the United
States zone of occupation. He
stated:
In view of the rapid progress
which has been made in carrying
out Allied Qualification policies,
and in removing prominent Nazis
from all positions of responsible
ty in German life, it is desirabl.
and timely to permit the personnel
of my command to engage in con-
versation with adult Germans in
the streets and in public places.
Orders are being issued accord
ingly.'"
British Order Issued.
Marshal Montgomery, who has
been telling the British cabinet for
weeks that relaxation of the regu-
lations was necessary, said in a
news letter to British troops that
the Germans had shown themselves
willing to obey my orders and to
cooperate in reconstruction of
their country on non-Nazi lines"
Troops under his command, how
ever, must not "for the present en-
ter homes of Germans, nor permit
them to enter any premises you are
using except for duty or work"
Gen. Eisenhower and his officers
were known to have regarded non
determination as essential in Ger
many as long as fighting continued,
and long enough afterward to make
sure civilians were under control.
The strict characterization rule
it soon became evident, was more
unavoidable with each week of the
peace. Those who argued against Il
said it was not in the nature of
American soldiers not to talk with
people, and that an uncomfortable
rule only weakened military discip-
line and the respect of the Germans
German girls leased soldiers, who
risked a penalty if they did more
than smile back.
