FIRST IN YEAR

Making his first appearance In
a game this year. Eaton replaced
Les Mueller in the eighth inning,
when Mueller was lifted for a
pinch hitter. Not only did Eaton
hold the White Sox in check for
two innings, but came through
with his clutch two-bagger that
fell just short of home run near
the 365-foot mark in left-center.
In seven innings ne was on the

of 13 hits and all of the White
Sox six markers. In all. the Sox
had rolled up Is hits. two Off
Eaton. They hit safely In every
inning but one-the eighth.

mound for the White Sox, for
four innings held the Tigers hit

YANK PRISONERS
EN- ROUTE HOME

CAIRO, March 17.-tREApproxl-
mately 1900 former American war
prisoners, freed from German
hands by the Russian advance, ar
rived at a Middle East port five
days ago and are now en- route
to the United States, it was per-
mitted to be disclosed today.
Happy scenes occurred as the
repatriation ship locked. T h e
Americans and about 400 British
ex-prisoners damned the vessel S
rails and were perched high IN
the rigging. Exuberantly they hurl-
ed requests for special numbers
to the British service band which
greeted them with blare of n1u-
sic on the dock. The bandsmen
did not know many of the newest
swing tunes demanded by the re-
patriates-and where the Amer1-
cans had learned them, words and
all, was minor mystery.
The liberated men appeared IN
good physical condition, despite
the ha1dships and dangers they
had but recently survived while
escaping from Nazi guards or pri-
son pens and making their way
in the midst of battle to the Red
Army lines. They were QUILTED
in the patchwork remains of Al
lied uniforms, including items OF
Red Army issue. In the latter
category. most noticeable were the
winter fur caps with upturned
flaps.
When the ship docked, a pom
toon bridge was rugged from the
quay and across this the British
filed ashore. The Americans re-
manned aboard.
Some of the U. S. soldiers had
been in German hands for more
than two years. Others, who were
caught during the winter Ardennes
offensive, had been held by the
Nazis for only a little more than
month.

CITY INCINERAT0R .
STEEL RECEIVED

The structural steel needed for
the reinforced concrete shell of
the projected $125,OOO City incinera-
tor has been received. City Engi-
neer J. A. Loughlin disclosed yes
terday.
Despite this, he explained,
bitches in construction may be an
ticipated, since much of the op-
Grating equipment of the three
story edifice must be inbuilt as
the walls and decks take shape.
Although War Production Board
approval has been given the pro-
ject, wartime stringency may be
expected to slow delivery of such
high-priority items as the blowers,
which will force draft through the
burning chamber, and the engines
to run them.
The finished incinerator will re-
ceive it's trash through a third
story trap-door, into which dump
trucks will deposit it. Falling into
the furnace, the rubbish will be re-
duced to fine ashes, which will be
hauled away from a ground-floor
ash chamber.

Stressing the importance of call.

of the donors, he advised that any
type of blood was acceptable. Don.
ors must be over Is years of age
and in good health. Anyone under

from their parents to give blood.
