Austrian Regime Backed
By English Catholic Paper
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 4.-The Catholic
Herald said today that Informed
Austrian Catholics can find little
to criticize" in the new Austrian
administration of DR.. Karl Renner
set up in Russian-occupied Vienna.
The publication, one Of Britain's
largest Catholic weeklies, said Aus
TRAN Catholics here suggest that
Austria, being like Finland a nom
Slav country, is to fall outside the
Russian sphere and become a show
piece of Soviet observation-disclosures. "
The Herald suggested the Soyiets
had threefold object in Austria
to keep it outside the Pan-Slavic
bloc so as not to weaken the latter,
to win Austrian support and to
make the Renner government a
test case" for the western Allies.
Richard Law, Minister of State,
told Commons yesterday that
Britain and the United States had
agreed on the policy to take toward
the Renner group, which they have
announced they do not recognize.

Alexandra Health Officer
Reassures City on Wafer

City Health Officer DR.. Theodore
Shrop today treasured Alexandrians
that the city's water is absolutely
pure" despite its unpleasant taste
and odor.
DR.. Shrop said the taste, notice.
able for the last few weeks, is the
result of solution used to control
a heavy growth of algae caused by
the unseasonably warm weather in
March and April.
At the same time, DR.. Shrop re-
minded AleXandrians that the dog
quarantine is still in effect, and
that dogs will be picked up unless
muzzled or leashed in the care of a
responsible adult when they are off
their owners premises.

Fduonte Role
in Preakness

BALTIMORE, June Is Up
The annual preakness fever
helped along by the hottest wea-
ther Of the year, hit the racing
faithful in earnest today.
Old Baltimore offered the bes.
Of its wartime hospitality and
Pimlico race track officials pre-
pared TO welcome an estimated
$4,000 persons tomorrow for the
55th renewal Of the preakness,
one Of the nations longest and
richest stakes-this time the
richest in history Of the old hill
top course.
Hoop Jr., owned by F. w.
Hooper Of Jacksonville, Fla,
held the favorite role in the big
gest of five stake events. He was
quoted at 8 to 5, compared TO
the S TO 2 rating for Walter M.
Jeffords Pavot.
The number Of starters was
expected TO narrow to nine when
the entry box closes today, since
f. r. Bradley's Burning Dream
probably won't go because of
bad cuts on his leg received in
the Derby.
The others. however, were
pronounced fit and ready for the
mile and three -siXteenths grind
that will pay the winner a rec
ord purse Of around S68, 900,
compared with the previous top
OF s60,O75 hauled down last
year by Calumet Farms Pen
sive.
Besides Hoop Jr. and Pavot,
the probable starters are Mrs.

pc, Pentagon Stables The Doge,

Program, Is
Expanding
Mayor Urges
increased Athletic
Facilities Here

Mount Clemens sports-minded
mayor gave athletic fans here
their first rays of hope that a
new municipal stadium may be
realized in the not too distant
future.
Mayor Albert A. Wagner re-
vealed today that he was work
ing on a plan which would give
Mount Clemens a new stadium
replete with permanent stands,
running track, Softball diamonds
and lights for night games.
He added that although futher
information on the matter could
not be diVulged at this time, ac-
tlve planning on the proposal IS
underway.
The mayors statement con-
cerning the stadium recalls the
fact that some years ago local
service CLUBS showed interest in
a similar project TO be establish
ed in Seminole Hills (where the
city owned considerable acre
age.
A fund estimated at more than
$1,000 was raised al the time but
the project was dropped at the
beginning of the war. That fund
is still being held in trust for
the building of a stadium here.
Expansion of the athletic pro-
gram here As voiced by the
Mayor was not confined alone
TO the stadium. He also revealed
that broad program is being
developed through the Recrea-
ton Department TO give all res
idents the proper facilities to
carry on athletic leagues and
programs.
He stated that it was his aim
and the aim of the Recreation
Department 10 keep the youth
of the city busy so that they
would not get into trouble and
N that way would decrease del
inquency here.
In outlining the expanding rec
reation program he told commits
Sioners at the City commission
meeting that a new tennis pro-
gram has been inaugurated here,
schools and school grounds will
De used for Fairgrounds for the

Supermen Sluggers Down
LumbeUacks, IS to 4

The Super Cleaners turned
down the Hubarth and Schott
batters handily last night at ST.

in the unbeaten ranks.
Paced by Hank Brenniman
who blasted out four straight
hits in four trips to the plate,
the Supermen pounded Les Ver-
scheuren and Vance Crane for
IL hits.
The supermen were aided n
great deal by the ragged infield
play of the Lumbermen who
committed five miscues and just
as many bad plays.
Opening the game by receiv-
ing two free passes, the Super
men scored two runs in the first
inning to Jump into the lead of
which they never relinquished
their hold.
The Spot Removers scored IN
every inning with the exception

Undefeoted Airmen
Down Wogoneers, 8-4

Selfridge Field Fliers tucked
their sixth straight victory under
their belt last night at Covered
Wagon field when they dumped
the Covered Wagon team 8 TO 4.
In their usual fashion, the
Filters opened with hitting and
scoring barrage and nicked the
plate for four runs in the first
inning. Stotzky first man up was
injured in this lining but re-
NAMED in the game.
The Wagoneers made a come
back in the second chapter by
scoring three runs. Russ Dubay
reached first on an error, Fran
nie Ray drew a Welk and Tom
Moore punched out a hit loading
the bases. Dubay went home on
wild pitch and the other two
men scored when Charlie Gill
more raped out a bingo.
Rathnewicz, a new hurler,
took the mound for the first time
for the Fliers and walked five
men during his tour of duty. The
Wagoneers also received four Of
their five runs from Rathnewicz.
Art Finding, second sacker for
the undefeated Air Men, drew
hitting honors for the game in
connecting for three hits in ofur
times at bat. Two of his hits
carried for doubles. Lenny Blu
menchien who started in right
field relieved RathneWicz on the
mound in the fourth hit a homer
in the fifth inning.
Ray for the Wagoneers achiev-
ed perfect batting average by
getting one hit in one time at
bat. The Wagoneers received five
hits In all. Dubay gave up IL
hits TO the Air men in going the
route for the Covered Wagon
combine.
The daily monitor leader., 1945-06-15

the excellent support given him
by his teammates kept the score
down throughout the game.
Verscheuren who started On
the mound for the Lumberjacks
had difficulty in finding the
plate and walked nine men du:-
ing six innings. Grain relieved
him in the sixth inning with two
out.
Ben Schields, center fielder
for the Lumbermen again shone
for his team in a losing cause.
He stepped into one of Freder-
ick's pitches for a two Dagger
and his work in the outfield kept
the score down.
For the Supermen Harry AL
brecht and left fielder Les Fred
erick excelled in the field and
their fast footwork and sharp
eyes resulted in several catches
which seemed impossible to snag.
The Wagnermen and Selfridgc
Fliers are now the only two
teams TO boast of undefeated rec
ords. An attempt to book them
for a game on Sunday, June "a
failed when the Supermen show

two triples and double, but lett
two runners on third, costing
the Tigers the decision.

pie for lack of clutch hitting.
Stephens homered into the
upper deck in right field in the
fourth, scoring behind Milt
Byrnes, who had walked, to put
ST. Louis in front 2-l.
The Tigers tied it up in the
fifth when Trout blasted 400

deep fly.
Gray, who injured his left
shoulder as he fell making the
catch. retired from the game but

broke it up in the ninth with
his 10th homer, drive into the
