GRID PROSPECTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-lR-
The sports market took a further
swing upward today as the result
of war developments-use of the
atomic bomb and Russia's en-
trance into the war with Japan.
These, turns of events, perhaps
preasagIng an early end Of the

possibilities of the football season

The office of defense transpor-

the remarks quoted below because
they come from the man who led
all the rest when basebalps stars
trotted out on the battlefields in
stead of the diamond. Back after
Jour and one half years in the

game still carrying on.
In fact, says Hugh Mulcahy, Just

seemed to have changed much, al

in the league"
When Mulcahy set off for an in
duction center on a bleak March
8. 1941 the fans felt that base
balls loss wasn't so much the
Arnny's gain. He had the losingest
record in the National League in
his last pre-war season-most
games lost, longest losing streak,
most hits and runs surrendered.
They overlooked the fact that he
pitched for the losingsst club in
all baseball-the Philadelphia Phil
lies-nad was the only man on the
team who could make show of
holding the opposition. Consequent
ly Mulcahy worked in twice as
many games as any other hurler
on the staff and was often in there
when, as inevitably happened, the
winning runs came pouring past
the futile Pills.

mound just as he philosophically

Mulcahy, now 80, has that same

of the National League where he
left them.
At the moment he is visiting
his parents in Newton, Mass, and
will 90 to Pittsburgh Monday to
see his four-months old son for the
first time, then will join the Phil
