Mats Wednesday Face
ace-Making Tigers
I'm Four-Game Set
BY BUS HAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer


This may be the week that Wash
ington's amazing Senators take over
the American League lead.
Only a game and half off the
pace now, the Senators will have
an excellent opportunity through
Friday to pass the leading Detroit
Tigers.
Manager Ossie Bluege's rejuven-
ated wonders meet the seventh-place
st. Louis Browns in two games to-
day and one tomorrow, then fight
| it out with the Tigers here We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday.
And why the amazing Senators?
Well, no one expected them to GO
anywhere when the season started
Most Of the experts picked them to
run last.
Started Six Weeks Ago.
Six weeks ago, they were making
the experts look good. Then strange
things began to happen.
Harlond Cliff, veteran third sack
er hampered with an old shoulder
injury, began to hit the long ball
which made him feared around the
league in pre-war days.
George Case, five times the league.
base-stealing champion, set out
after the batting championship
and others who had been patty.
caking the ball also caught the
fever.
The Mats mopped up on a West
ern road trip and won 18 of thei
last "a games.
Now they believe in themselves
and they've got the Nations Capita
by its ears as the "pitchingest ant
runningest" team in the loop.
Even Owner Clark Griffith, who a
rs should know pennant-contende
when he sees one, is talking abou
winning the flag.
This club is lot like our 1872
team" he said. Its got .speet
afoot and good pitching. And it
coming from behind just as we dix
81 years ago"
Hurting Corps Leagues Best.
That 1924 club went West in sixth
place, came home in the second spo
like this years team-then swep
four-game series with the Yankee
in New York and never relinquisheC
/ the lead.
i The Senators wouldn't swap thei
five starting pitchers-Dutch Leon
ard, Roger Wolff, Freshman Marin,
IPieretti, Mickey Haefner and Johl
Niggeling-for any rival staff in tn
League.
Case is the only 300 batter, bu

TaIbert Adds Western
Net Crown in Quest
For No. | Ranking
BY the Associated Press.


MENASHA, Wis, July 16.-Bill
Talbert, Wilmington Del0 tennis
stylist out to get a No. national
ranking, apparently is nearing his
goal.
Last year he was ranked No. 2,
behind Sergt. Frank Parker of Los
Angeles. Last week he won the clay
courts singles crown from defending
champion Francisco Pancho) Sc
gura of Ecuador to boost his rating.
And yesterday he won the Western
senior title.
In the Western he beat the on
rushing Elwood Cooke, a recent
Navy discharge from Los Angeles
and Boston, 60, 6-8, Is, in the
title match and then went on to
share top honors in both the mems
doubles and mixed doubles.
Cooke, who gave Segura the worst
set in his career in the semifinals
of the clay courts championships
last week, losing 18-16, had a Al
lead over Talbert in the third set
yesterday. The Wilmington ace
came from behind, however, to tie
the match at SIS, and then won the
next two games to take the title.
Doris Hart of Miami, Fla, won the
women's singles from Mary Arnold,
Los Angeles, 6-3, 86. Miss Hart
then teamed with Mrs. Sarah Pal
frey Cooke, wife of Elwood, to win
the women's doubles with a 6-3
60 victory over Miss Arnold and
Mrs. Eleanor Cushingham of Holly

Cooper Still Is Tops

CHICAGO, July 16.-Mort Coop
er's ailing right arm may be keep
ing him from a starting assignment
right now, but to rival managers
he's still the best pitcher in the
National League.
Cooper, in the livery of the Boston
Braves for the past two months,
proved that yesterday when he came
in to relieve the veteran Bill Lee
in the ninth inning of the second
game of a twin bill against his for
mer mates at st. Louis. He held
them to one hit in two innings,
while Garden Gillenwater drove in
two runs in the 10th to give Bos-
ton two wins over the Cards.
That was his first appear ance on
the mound in almost two weeks
An elbow injury had kept him out
of the lineup. He lad gone to ST.
Louis last week to have it exam
ined by DR.. John Hyland, a spe-
cialist in such things.
Best in Loop, Says Grimm.
But the managers who'll face him
later in the season were not SPAR
ing of their praise.
Hes the best in the league
Manager Charlie Grimm of the
first-place Chicago Cubs said when
he heard of Cooper's relief stint.
Mel OFT of the New York Giants
echoed that sentiment. HE knows
the weakness of every hitter in the
league" OFT said. HE doesn't make
any mistakes sout there"
But while the st. Louis fans were
booing Cooper in his first Sports
mans Park appearance since his
sale to the Braves, Manager Bob
Coleman probably was having his
own private chuckle. In Chicago
last week for a series with the
Braves, Coleman said:
Grief for Two Innings.
How he can pitch with that arm,
I don't know. After two hard in
nings the elbow swells up like bal
loon. But for two innings they
can't touch him. He threw three
strikes past Frankie Colman of
Pittsburgh the other day. When
Coleman can't get at least a piece
of that ball, that's something"
Coleman added he was positive

Nelson underwent heat, massage

 The United States, he said, must be spared the ravages of future wars and though it wants no territory or selfish advantages from the pres ent conflict, i've are going to main- tain the military bases necessary for the complete protection of our in- terests and of world peace"
 Last night the chief executive re- iterated that there were no secret agreements or commitments made at Berlin apart from current military arrangements.'
 One of those secret arrang he added, was Russias war declara- ton on Japan. It was made, Mir Truman said, before Stalin was told Of the atomic bomb. Elsewhere it was learned that Stalin had said the declaration would be effective on August 15. The assumption here is that the advent of the atomic bomb prompted him to move it up to August g.

pr. Viola Garfield, Associate in Anthropology, with the University of Washington's Department of An thrcpclogy, is spending a few days in Juneau while making prepara- tions for field trip on Prince of Wales Island.
 The holder of a Social Science Re- caarch Council grant-in-aid to do field work among the Southeastern Alaska Indians, Dr. Garfield will study principally the old tribal laws of the T1ingit and Haida Indians, in respect to the control and ownership of fishing areas, how the rights to ownership of specified areas were determined, and how the right to control these areas was determined between members of the two tribes.
 Another interesting aspect of her work is the study of the economics of the Potlatches held yearly by the aboriginal tribes, at which time huge quantities of goods of all kinds were collected for purposes of barter.
 In addition to making arrange 'ments for her trip to Prince of Wales Island, where most of her research work will be carried on, Dr. Garfield has been renewing old friendships in Juneau. Her last work which brought her to Alaska was with the U. s. Forestry Service, in 1941.
 She is a guest at the Baranof Hotel during her stay in this city.

Desert Fox Not So Foxy;
Secret Agents Won Battles
BY CURT RIESS

BERLIN-Rommel never was
the great general pictured by
Nazi propaganda. His famous
victories in France and North
Africa weren't achieved by SUI
perior strategy, but simply by
superior intelligence then at the
disposal of the German Military
Intelligence Service.
This has been revealed by a
number of men who, in the last
stages of the war. were able to
furnish the Allies with revealing
information.
Rommels first big achieve
ment of this war was the break
through of armored units near
Sedan. which decided the whole
French campaign. This break
through was always considered
by experts as a most risky en-
terprise, since the relatively
small French or British air
forces could have smashed the
Rommel forces. Even more dar-
ing was the switch of the ROM
mel forces to the north, leaving
his left flank completely unpro-
tected.
There wasn't any risk, let
alone generalship, involved in
the whole business" my source,
who had worked in a Nazi min
istry, told me. Certain of our
agents belonging to the social
ed Ribbentrop Bureau, which
had been working in France
since 1887, furnished us with
complete information about AL
lied defense plans in that sec
tor"
The story of Rommels African
victories was almost repetition.
In the first place, the General
Staff, knowing Rommels limit
ed talents, never wished to en-
trust him with the African cam
paign, but proposed General Won
Funk instead.
Hitler received Won Funk i'm
mediately after the end of the
French campaign and developed
his African plans. Funk remon-
strated. endeavoring to prove
that even if everything went
we'll Germany couldn't spare
enough troops for lasting sue
cess in the African campaign.
Hitler, in a fury, tore down
the curtains, bit into them, and
Funk left. He told his wife:
This man will bring disaster to
Germany" Funk was dismissed
in disgrace, but was later recall
ed.
Rommel got the job and this is
how his amazing victories were
achieved:

Plan to Prevent Postwar
Shortage of Obstetricions

CHICAGO - W.D - Ameri-
can hospitals are working on a
plan to prevent a shortage Of
child specialists after the war,
according to an official of the
American Medical Assn.
DR.. Victor Johnson, chairman
Of the associations council on
medical education and hospitals,
said the program was nation
wide. It was started because
American standards of maternal
and child care were endangered
by wartime speedup in train
ing of doctors.
American mothers and their
children receive the finest care
in the world because we have
the specialists to apply our adj
vanced knowledge in this field,
DR.. johnson said.
WAR CUT TRAINING
1t takes five years of training
and experience after internship
to produce specialist in obstet-
RIGS, however, and war demands
have ended opportunities for
this kind of training, he explain
ed.
The usual method through
which a doctor obtains such
training is by residency in a
hospital and most medical
