This Sporting World
Mondoy Sports Wosh
By JOHN A CLUNEY

Frank Mulcahy, 8 Waterbury light-heavyweight boxer, has won six of seven bouts in the 175-pound class since he has been overseas; being now in Manila, after a lot of sailing around the blue Pacific, including Dutch New Guinea. At Manila, Frank writes, there is a nice big ampitheater called Rizal Stadium where baseball. softball and football is played for the G.I. Joes and other servicemen, and there is also 6 boxing arena larger than New Haven's, where Gus Les nevitch, world light-heavy champ has shown his wares. George Fitch of New Haven, now very slow at 196 pounds, has also boxed there. "Mul," as Frank is known to his friends, was very much surprised to hear about Charley Eagle going less than 8 round against Tani Mauriello; and also sends his best to Bobby Ray, adding T hope he is well enough to play ball again next season." Mike Todd, best known of the current Broadway show producers, with the possible exception of Billy Rose, boss of the Diamond Horseshoe, had a "ton of it" riding on Tony Janiro on the short end of 7-8 to 5 odds Friday night last, while another report had 1t that gent liked" Johnny Greco only too well, paid off some $23,000 after the fight in which Janiro won from New York to his home town, which is Youngstown, Ohio.
 Philadelphia Phil Lewis, 70.year- old manager of Mike Alfano, who boxes New England heavyweight champion, Nathan Mann, in this city Aug. 30, once had a $150,000 cabaret in Philadelphia, part of New York's famous Silver Slipper, and has handled 200 fighters at one time or the other including the great Stanley Ketchel. Old Phil, gentlemany, polite and very friendly sort of person, calls al- most everyone SONNY" including Abe Attell, who was great world champion for Il years in the feath- erweight division, and born in San Francisco in 1884, making him but nine years Phil's junior. Ray Arcel and "Whitey" Bimstein, the best team" in the country for many years in getting boxers in shape for their best efforts, had mis- understanding 8 couple of years back and have not spoken since, breaking up their partnership. Last Friday they were in opposite corners of the main bout; Arcel with the winner, Janiro, Bimstein with the loser Greco. Two weeks before that the latter was the winner.

our unbeaten teams this round suffered defeats. Brass beat Ben- rus and Lux took Farrel on Tues day while the whistles were blowing for cessation of hostilities. Farrel and Lux are now tied for second place while Brass leads with per- feet win record. Lux and Brass will meet on Hamilton No. and a win for Lux will move them up to the top. There is bound to be some sort of change in the won and lost records of United Chromium and Steel Ball when they meet for the championship of the meadows in Waterville Tuesday night. AS yet neither team has won a game this round. AS there are only weeks left of the regular schedule and numerous postponed games to be played, most teams will be playing two or three times week to catch up. We had Is games on the schedule and only completed 8. We have the same number this week and for the sake of the schedule arranger and the Park Department, we hope they can all be played.

For five innings Brooklyn A. C.'s determined youngsters were unable to hit Lefty" PerZan, Tribune starting pitcher, until the sixth in- ming, when Piersall and Al Dame lio singled, Pond walked and with bases loaded, Johnny Reardon got a scratch hit scoring Damelio but Perzan frightened after one out at that point to strike out the next two batters, after two runs scored. In the ninth Damelio and Radze- vich singled after two outs, but Pond famed for the third time to end the game. Tribunes got run in the second inning, after one out, as Dionne walked, Latino doubled and Perzan singled home Dionne. Tn the fifth, Perzan doubled, Maxwell walked, and Greatorex's single which produced two runs gave the Tribes a total of three runs, which proved just enough to win.

(COntlnueQ rom rage l) entire southern half of Manila. The Japanese still were burning and wrecking wantonly inside their mar rowing pocket and it was feared that the port and a vast area of the cen- tral city would be burned to the ground before the last enemy hao been killed
 (Tokyo broadcasts said the Jap- arese have evacuated all but skel- eton force from Manila and indi- cated that the Philippine presi- dential palace was among the build ings destroyed by their demolition squads)
 The main business section of the city was reduced to blackened ruins although most of the fires in the northern half had been brought under control and life in that Amer ican-held area was returning to normal.
 Troops, supplies and ammunition were pouring into the city at ter rife rate following the repair or the wrecked bridges north of Man fla, and there was little likelihood the remaining Japanese could hold out for long.
 LuzOn Cut In Two Meanwhile, other American troops practically completed the jo bof cutting Luzon in two along a line running southeastWard from the Lingayen gulf beachheads no miles north of Manila.
 Units of the 25th and Sixth In- fantry divisions wiped out the last Japanese resistance in MunoZ, Rizal and Lupao, 75 to 85 miles above the capital, after one of the bitterest fights of the campaign.
 In Munoz alone, the victorious Americans counted 1,242 enemy dead, along with AZ knocked-out tanks, 52 armored cars and p guns. The armored losses raised to more than 200 the number of Japanese tanks destroyed on LuZon, amount ing to about thirds of the tank strength of the Japanese Second Armored division.
 That was the only armored divi- sion the Japanese had on the island, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur's com- munique asserted that its remaining clements are now so scattered that they no longer are an effective fighting force.
 Corregidor was bombed again by American heavieS on Tuesday, while other raiders hit enemy supply dumps at Divilacan Bay, on the northeast coast of Luzon.
 Strong formations of attack struck heavily at the Japanese Fabrica air base on Negros island in the cen- tral Philippines, causing widespread damage and starting fires that ragged out of control for seven hours. The Fabrica field was believed to have been the source of repeated Japanese night raids on American positions on Leyte Island.

The Nazis not olny admitted that fierce street fighting was under way in Kuestrin, but said that the So- viets had encircled the fortress owtn by linking up two bridgeheads on the west bank of the Oder. Kuestrin lies on the east bank 38 miles east of Berlin.
 The encirclement later was broken, however, Berlin said.
 Other Soviet forces were fighting to clear the east bank outskirts of Frankfurt, l8 miles south of Kues- trin and B miles east of Berlin. Both anchor towns were in flames from Soviet artillery and Nazi demol- tions.
 The official German DNB agency said the Russians were pouring tanks into bridgeheads across the Oder still unconfirmed officially by Mos cow-preparatory to "a large-scale attack on the reich capital.
 Marshal Gregory K. ZhukoV swung the northwest wing of his First White Russian Army toward the Baltic on a broad iron in an attempt to seal off a 1200O square mile pocket consisting of Pomerania the Polish Corridor and DanZg.
 Advancing 15 to g miles on a 2O-mile front. the First Army shat tered the first German defense line before Stettin and the Baltic at a point 40 to 58 miles northeast Of Kuestrin.
 The line had been based on the Stettin? -Deutsch Krone highway and railway midway between the two Pomeranian strongholds. For ward units seized Reetz. 59 miles from the open Baltic and Al miles southeast of Stettin.

 In Silesia, Marshal Ivan s. Ko' news First Ukrainian Army expand ed its brideghead across the Ode river 180 miles southeast of Berlir to 24O square miles. KurtsCh, 1: miles south of Breslau, was captured in an advance to within half mil' of one of the four remaining rail- ways out of the SileSian capital.
 The Germans were counter-at- tackig at frequent intervals in st far futile effort to stem the Sovie onslaught, the Russian high com mand said in It's midnight com munique.
 Konevs southern wing renewed it' drive toward the Moravian Gap tt Prague and Vienna. Forty town! and villages along a 10-mile from were captured in advances of up tt nine miles within 26 miles of thu Czechoslovak gateway city of Cies' gym CTeSchen).
 Far to the north the Russian! captured the East Prussian strong hold of Kreuzburg, 12 miles soutl of Kongsberg, and killed more thai 4,0O0 Nal troops in tightening thei encirclement of the East Prussial garrison.

s. Konev's army was attacking anew from its bridgehead across the Oder ettienau. and had driven to Lue- ben, 70 miles northwest of Breslau. Parchwitz, 10 miles southeast of Lueben, fell to the Russians he added. He reported a gigantic bat- tie" in the Breslau?Liegnitz-Glogau triangle.
 Swedish refugees who fled Berlin to their homeland reported that Inhabitants of the German capital expect the Red Army to reach 1t within a week or two" More than 100000 Berliners have left the city since the Russians arrived at the Oder, they said.

 Dewey conceded that opposing points of view must be reconciled at the Black Sea conference and that we cannot expect to have 1t all our way.
 But we insist that the decisions be made with us and not without us," he said, with our representa- tiyes in the discussion every day, on every subject, and not occasion ally or part of the time. The time has come for the hard, patnStaK1ng labor or translating ideals and gen. eralities into reality and action.
 We want to be sure of action 10 transform the agreements reached at Dumbarton Oaks from pieces ot paper into living reality.
 Dewey said that during three crit ical months when the representa- tives of the United States were ut tering pleasant generalities," the clearest call for "conStructlVe action" came from Vandenberg. .
 On the home front, Dewey found a trend toward "totalitarianism, against which he warned as the doom of human freedom. He dlo not mention MT. Roosevelt by name, but attributed to him responsibility for that trend.
 I've have seen in our country 8 long, persistent effort to increase the power of government over the individual, Dewey said. We nave seen cavalier willingness to saddle the people with unlimited debt III the peacetime behind us ana tne plans for the peace ahead.
 we have seen smooth willing ness on the part of the goveenment to find pleasant excuses in the name of false liberalism to bring the daily lives of our people under its increas- ing control.
 "There are those who want to take the easy way of spending the nation into bankruptcy and chaos, Whlle the government takes over the con- trol of the lives of every individual They believe that to cure every Ill you pass a law and appriprlate billion dollars"

After dark, swarms of British mosquito bombers joined in the as- sault raking 75-mile belt of the German forward lines from the Nij- megen area down to Duren on the Roer.
 On the American First Army Front, elements of the U. s. 78th Infantry Division drove l 1-2 miles east of captured Schmidt to within mile north of the SchWammen- auel dam, the main link in the NaZi dam system controlling the level Of the Roer to the north.
 German resistance was reported crumbling rapidly after the dough- boys cleared the fortified Siegfried belt around Schmidt and the chain of Roer dams appeared likely to fall into American hands in matter of days, clearing the way for the British second and U. s. Ninth Arm- ies to push across the river. Threaten Pruem
 On the Third Army front, Pat tons troops closed to within 8 mile of the big German supply and com- munications center of Pruem from the west, north and northwest.
 The Siegfried line defenses had been broken on an eight-mile front northwest of Pruem, and the Amer ican advance was gaining momen- tum in that area, despite repeated German counterattacks.
 Gondenbrett, Waschceid and Ob- ermehlen, two to three miles north west of Pruem, all were in American hands, and other Yank forces ad- vanced l 1-2 miles overnight to Oreach the Pruem river and capture Olzheim, 4 3-4 miles north of the city.
 Farther to the south, elements of four Third Army divisions were fighting their way across the Oul and Sure rivers into Germany al 10 points on front of about 25 milN of Echternach. Patton's ad- vanced spearheads were as much as two miles inside the Reich and bat ting throug hthe outer pillboxes oft he Siegfried line lal along the front.
 Wallendorf, 2 1-2 miles north. west of Echternach, was captured by the Americans and they were fighting in and around Dasburq and Dahnen, IA to IS miles to tht north.
