SOVIET ATTEMPTS TO IIBERATE'
BALTIC REFUGEES IN SWEDEN

Swedish papers report that So
Wet officials have been visiting the
Baltic refugee camps in Sweden.
The Swedish Press of December
8, 1914, reports that "The visit by
Soviet representatives to Baltic re-
fugee camps was arranged =. for
the purpose of informing the re-
fugees what the possibilities were
of returning"
According to Expressen of De-
cember 2, 1914: -. it is OBJ
vious that no individual pressure
will be permitted to be applied to
the refugees. However, the Bal
tic peoples living in Sweden ex-
press their apprehension in a pub
lie protest, according to Stockholms
Tidningen, which reads in part:
"We protest against the attempts
to induce us to accept Soviet citi-
zenship. While staying in Sweden
we have refrained from political
activity, and we protest against
any attempts to disseminate poll
tical propaganda among us. From
personal experience we are we'll ac-
quainted with the Soviet rule and
propaganda. Provisions for our
return are superfluous. We do not
need assistance or inspection from
representatives of the Soviets".
Swedish voices protesting this So
Wet move were not lacking. Ac-
cording to the K.A.P. Agency:
"Two members of the Swedish
Parliament protested against the
Soviet conquerors being given per-
to visit these camps. Re-
preventative Jannson asked the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr..
Gunther, if this meant that Sweden
recognizes de jure and de facto the
Soviet rule in the Baltic States.
He commented that this would be
a disagreeable surprise for the
Swedish people to find that their
country has taken a hastier deci-
SIGN than the allies of Russia. Re-
preventative Haasted declared that

Fe|Ier Will Win All His Games,
Shotton of Indians Believes

he starts the rest of the season" !"
Indian Coach Burt Shotton said to-
day.
II didn't see much of him when
he pitched in the American League
before he went to the Navy, but if
he throws that ball like he did
against Detroit last Friday I don't
know who can stop him. From
what I know of him he's better now
than he was four years ago."
Right now the Indians are six
and a half games back of league
leading Detroit, down in fifth
place, with SO games left to play
But in that 36-game stretch they
meet every team in the league and
have two series with Detroit, third
place st. Louis and sixth-place Chi
cago.
II don't know how often he'll
pitch, but he'll have to have some
bad days If he loses any," Shotton
said. "He's still got that fast bali,
and he has some new pitches that
give him chance to conserve
some Of his energy"

Eisenhower Behind
Big Sports Program

Reports from Germany that Gen
Dwight D. Eisenhower personally is
behind plans for the greatest post
war sports program ever attempted
to keep American occupation forces
busy were borne out today by an
Army statement here that it is going
ahead with purchases of athletic
equipment on an expanded scale.
Gen. Eisenhower is known to favor
program that will embrace all
American servicemen stationed in
Germany. which means variety OF
sports with emphasis on team
sports.
The Army will buy more than
100000 dozen baseballs, which, to-
gether with the 10000 dozen used
by major leagues, will take all the
f1rst-class pills the industry can
produce. 1t also will buy 5000
basket balls, 285, 900 tennis balls,
486, ,720 golf balls and assorted other
eouipment.

NEW YORK, Aug 28.-Despite
their batting slumps, Tommy Holmes
of the Boston Braves in the Ma
tional League and Tony Cuccinello
of the Chicago White Sox in the
American League retained their
swat leadership
Holmes slumped 5 points to 1865
and saw his lead reduced to a mere
points as the Chicago Cubs
Phil Cavarretta returned to action
after a weeks layof due to shoul-
der injury and maintained his 1862
pace.
Brooklyn's Goody Rosen was still
searching for his lost batting eye as
his skidding average dropped to BAL,
high enough, though, to keep him in
third place.
Cuccinello made only one hit in
18 trips to the plate, nosediving Is
points to .3l9, shrinking his once
imposing lead to a mere 3 points.
George Case of Washington, idle
as a result of a shoulder injury, re-
manned at .316.
Tied for third at .307 were Man

Bobby Estalella of Philadelphia.

Hoefner, Gritty Griff, Typical
Of Coal Mines Slab Products
By statf Correspondent of The Star

by q Stan correspondent OF The Star
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. "a
Throw that pick and you can
throw that baseball" might be sound
advice to give lad aspiring to be-
come pitcher in the big leagues.
Especially if his home is in mining
country. A great group of huskies
and some little men, too-have
dug their way through coal veins
to that pitchers plate in the mid
die of the diamond.
From the early days of baseball,
they have climbed from the mines
to fame in the national pastime.
And Washington's Mats have one
OF the better ones of this breed
doing all he can to hurl them to
4 pennant this year.
He's Milton Arnold Haefner-
Mickey to you
Quickly Makes Bigtime.
This 5-foot-7 chunk of bone and
muscle-and all topped by a wise
head-came straight from the coal
mines of Southern Illinois to the
ball field and it did not take him
long to make his way to the big
show.
Despite number of unfortunate
experiences in his games this year,
Haefner has hurled the Mats to IA
victories. And that is more than
one-f1fth of his clubs total wins.
He has dropped II games, but at
least half dozen of those could
have been on the winning side, but
for somewhat slipshod play by the
men behind him. That 80 game he
lost to the Yankees in New York
last Sunday was a glaring example
of the bad luck that has dogged him
this year.
But Mickey is a pitcher with a
heart in addition to an extensive
assortment of deliveries. This stout
fellow from the mines generally is
dubbed a knuckleballer, but ne has
a fast one good enough to throw by
batters and a curve that makes bat
terS mean.

To Boxing Body

Danny Petro is a cinch to win the
Touchdown Clubs 1945 blocking
award after his exhibition last night
at Griffith Stadium where he won
a unanimous verdict over one Mario
Colon with a weird exhibition of
boxing.
The outcome gave Petro an even
break for the day. Earlier he
dropped a unanimous decision to
the Boxing Commission, which
voted to withhold one-third of
Danny's purse, on request of Leo
Bradley of Providence, r. l., who
is the fighters agent and who, ap-
parently, was taking no chances on
Petro turning over his share of the
swag.
But the commission only batted
500 itself. 1t lost a clear-cut deci-
sion to Dixie Lee Oliver, who orig
inally was booked to box Jimmy
Bell last night. Oliver has only two
managers, Sam Sobel and Walter
Johnson, number wholly made
quate to keep the Negro heavy
weight informed of his engage
ments. The commission had worked
itself into a lather of righteous
indignation and was prepared to
slap suspension on the fighter
when it discovered his license had
expired and it was hog-tied.
Bell took on Jimmy Gardner of
New York, knocked him off his pins
twice in the first round and hung
on long enough to win the nod.
AL La Barba outpointed Norval
Gaddis in the liveliest exhibition OF
the night, but Oscar (Atomic BUM
Wright's 35-second kayo Of Tommy
Murray was the most dramatic.
Flat Top Cummings won a TKC
over Jimmy McGriff in 2:55 of the
sixth and final round, reopening
an old wound over McGriff's eye
