LINZ, ia.-They don't veal
many medals, but they're heroes tt
couple of United States Army
generals, $4,000 Doughboys, and q
daily-increasing flock of Austrian
kids who live around the 65th In
fantry Divisions ball park in this
city.
They are heroes not only because
some of them, prior to 1943, per-
formed at Griffith Stadium, the Pole
Grounds. and other major league
Fairgrounds in pursuit of their reg
ular civilian trades, but also, and
primarily, because they got together
and built themselves a bang-up
hell-for-l leather ball club, after
chasing the Wehrmacht across Ger
many and Upper Austria.
One of these Joes is none other
than George Archie, Washington
Nationals first baseman of several
years ago and now leading bats
man of Manager Harry Walkers
"Hammering Halberts" With Walk
er, former st. Louis Cardinals out
fielder, Archie started to rally 65th
Division ball players right after We
day, and in the short space of two
months the pair organized a nine
that has gone through 10 games,
against strong Sd Army opposition,
with only two losses.
Big Georges big bat has worked
overtime to keep the 65th boys out
in front in the Austrian loop. On
two occasions this month Archie
has poled out home runs to break
up good gall game, and his 49,
game batting average is well over
the 800 mark. And that, of course,
compares very favorably with his
high PIT with the Senators in 1912.
Have Plenty of Backing.
First Baseman Pfc. Archie and
Harry Walker have had considerable
help, in building their latest club,
from other major leaguers such as
George Scharein, former Philly
shortstop who has been holding
down that spot on the 65th nine.
George, beside turning in a classy
exhibition of fielding, hit safely in
16 consecutive games before taking
to the hospital with a touch of
flu. He's expected back in time for
the ETO championship playoffs in
Paris.
On their pitching staff Archie
and Walker have Ken Heintzelman
of the Pirates. Alpha Brazle Of the
Cards, and young Rex Barney, who

quarters at the Hilltop yesterday

Nothing definite, you understand,
because Jack still belongs to the

for a discharge and if offered the

more than his Georgetown playing
weight; he's taller and broader, and
where once he wore only broad
grin he's sporting Clark Gableish
mustache. If the Skins needed a

would be the lad.
