DUCKS C0ASTING
 TOWARD FINISH
 ON 9-GAME EDGE
(By The Associated Prcss)

Like a merry -gO-round slowing down, Pacific Coast League clubs coasted toward the finish of the season this week with another pitcher, Don Pulford of Portland, listed in the 2o-game winner column.
 Pulford hurled the Beavers to a 2-1 decision over Sacramento last night for his twentieth victory, de- feating the Solon's ace righthander, Guy Fletcher t24-14l.
 The win put Portland nine games ahead of the runner-up Seattle Rainiers, who dropped their final series opener to the San Diego Padres.
 The battle for third place mar rowed to a single game as the San Francisco Seals moved up on Sac- ramento with a triumph over the Los Angeles Angels. The nights slate was completed with Oakland's ned over Hollywood's Stars.

TAKE YOUR PICK

Since the pennanJ contenders won't decide the major league races for themselves, this corner will cover all four in the annual review by positions and let you decide for yourself which you like.
 First base: Rudy York, Tigers Rudy's slugging made him the Tiger first baseman and, to every ones surprise, he set two major league fielding records at that po- sition. Can break up any game and he did it once in the 1940 series although he hit only .231.
 Joe Kuhel, Senators Rudy's opposite; fancy fielder but only has touched the 300 mark at bat three times in his IS major league seasons. ...
 Phil Cavarretta, Cubs-The "boy wonder" of the 1885 Cubs, Phil hit only 1.125 in his first world series. Three years later he belted Yankee pitching for 462. Never batted 300 until last season and now lie tops the National League above the .35O mark. :.
 Ray Sanders, Cardinals-Ray has earned a world series cut in each of his three big league seasons. He'll be disappointed if he doesn't make it again. League-leading fielder at first in 1944. His speciality is hitting doubles.

Cubs Practically
 Cousins 10 Cards
 During t945 Play
By Jack Hand

Associated Press Sports Writer) Billy Southworth's tattered Card inals act like they own the Chicago Clubs whose first place dignity they have ruffled in IA of 13 meetings.
 With 10 games ito play, four against their cousins" from the Windy City, St. Louis has a good fighting chance to make tEe grade to fourth straight flag despite it's two-game disadvantage in the won and lost columns.
 Southworth has either George Dockins or Art Lopatka ready to go after the Cubs tonight as the after dark series continues at Sports man Park. Added to the decided advantake the home club holds over the visitors in season play, is the fact that Chicago has been able to win only four of IA at night while tEe Cards have taken B or AT moonbeam tits.

 rett Shades Passedu
(By The Associated Press)

ST. LOUIS - Sportsman's Park housed it's largest night turnout Of the Cardinals season, 22,174 to watch the Birds make their big bid for the flag last night.
 They weren't disappointed, as Southworth's gang overcame a two- run advantage the Cubs punched through the makeshift infield in the first inning and came on to win. Whitey Kurowski drove home all three runs.
 Charley Red" Barrett, the fellow who was thrown in" in the deal that sent Mort Cooper to Boston, hung up his twenty second victory in last nights 3-2 shade of the Bruins Claude Passeau. That's 10 more than Barrett ever won in the majors before and more than he ever shared since he left Muskogee in l937
 Baseball followers regard the Red Birds a better bet to catch Chicago than Washington is to close the gap on Detroit even though the Tigers lead is only a game and half after yesterdays 12-5 loss to the Mats. The Senators are running cut of games with only five to go and no more with the BengalS.
 The Detroit Washington series finale was a nightmarish ball game, played on the muddy turf of Grif- filth Stadium.
 Dizzy Trout was driven to cover in the first inning when the Sen- ators scored four runs but, after they had added another in the third, the Tigers flattened Walt Masterson with five to tie in the cixth. The Mats then opened up on George Caster, Hal Newhouser and Feb Eaton for bundles of four in the seventh and three in the eighth to ice it.
 Caster was charged with his first loss since joining Detroit and Dutch Leonard, the third of four Wash ington tossers, picked up the winn- ing check.

ed treaties, some of them valid to-
day. whereby Lithuania was guar
anteed that it's freedom and sover
eighty would be safeguarded. In
June 1910, the Soviet Union broke
it's pledge, occupied Lithuania and
proceeded to Sovietize all public
and private institutions and enter
prizes, as we'll as 100000 privately
owned farm. The leading men and
women of Lithuania were either
exiled to labor camps in Siberia or
"liuuidated" as "enemies of the
people,.
At the height of this terror, while
Lithuania was under the occupation
of the Red Army, farcical 'pleb-
iscite" was held. There was but
one list of candidates to vote fer.
the Communist list. Every adult
Lithuanian was compelled to vote
or else incur the penalty of becom-
ing IAN enemy of the people, and
suffer exile or even death. There
was no actual voting by this pup
pet Diet on Lithuania's incorpora-
ton into the. Soviet Union. This
"decision" was proclaimed to the
world by the Soviets.
On the eve of the German attack
on the Soviet Union, the Soviests
started deportations and massacres
Of Lithuanians on large scale. For
example, at Siauliai, Pravieniskiai
and elsewhere they machine-gW.ned
thousands of men, women and
| children. The Lithuanians rose in
armed revolt and proclaimed the
restoration Of national independence.
: Soviet authorities attempted to
smear these attempts as pro-Nazi
However, the Germans quickly
suppressed these Lithuanian efforts
and begun the Imprisonment and
annihilation of all Lithuanian pat.
riots. Under the German occupa-
ticn further deportations and per
sccutions continued. Lithuanians,
however, set up strong under
ground movement for national lib
Grafton from all oppressors, Nazi
as we'll as Soviet. German attempts
to enforce mobilization were met
with armed resistance Again thous-
ands Of Litnuanians went under
ground or fled the country.
LithUanians having tasted both
Nazi and Soviet brands of 'Sibera-
ton had no choice but to seek re
fuge in any country that could of
fe1' them a haven. In the summer
of 1914 the Soviets returned and re
introduced their brand Of terror
| LlthCanians caught between two

to escape to Sweden and orhe,
