FANS SPECULATE
WARTIME SPORTS
BY TED MEIER

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-(P)-War-
time professional sports were
flashed an amber or caution signal
over the weekend and fans Won
lered today if the red or full stop
sign would 60 up soon.
Leaders of major league base
ball, professional football and box
ing generally kept mum on the
latest order of Selective Service
to induct IA and 2-B deferred men
who quit essential war jobs with
out approval and President Roose-
velt's request that Congress make
4-Fs available in whatever ca
pacity is best for the war effort. !"
The few who commented adopted
well wait and see what hap
pens attitude. The nations race
tracks were closed only four days
ago.
Sam Breadon, president OF the
world championship St. Louis
Cardinals, asserted spring is a
long time off and it's too early to
worry about the effect on baseball
of men being indicted or put into
essential industries"
Bill Dewitt, general manager OF
the American League champion
Browns, eachoed this view. "You
can't tell a thing about it as yet, -
he said. We're going to do what
the government says
The Browns would be one of the
teams hardest hit if Congress de-
creeds that AIS between 10 and
81 be reexamined for duty in com
bat service or war jobs. The
Browns are loaded with 4-F's. AL
together of the 400 active players
on the 16 major league clubs some
281 are 4-F's.
A spokesman for the national pre-
grid league said at Chicago that
sit certainly would be wrong for
anyone in our business to try tc
guess what will happen in the next
months"
AS for boxing, Promoter Mike
Jacobs of the Goth Century Club
thought that if necessary the pro
grams could be made up with wal
workers after day in the plant.

us reeling back, but we recovered

great advantage He has therefore
failed in his strategic purpose, I'M
less the prize is smaller than his
men were told"
Striding about in a paratroop-
er's battle jacket, with his hands
in his pocket, Montgomery stress
ed. however, that the battle was
not yet over.
"Von Rundstedt attacked on De-
cember 18TH" he said. He OBJ
tanned a tactical surprise. He
drove a deep wedge into the cen
ter of the First Army and split
American forces in two. The situa-
ton locked as if it might become
awkward. The Germans had brok-
en- right through the spot and were
heading for the Meuse.

happening, 1 took certain steps
myself to insure that if the Ger
mans got to the Mouse they could
certainly not get over that river.
And l carried out certain move
ments 50 as to provide balanced
dispositions to meet the threaten
ed danger"
Montgomery at the time had
command only of the British Sec.
ond and Canadian First Armies,
and on his own he shifted some
troops south to meet the threat.
Then the situation began to
deteoriare, but the whole Allied
team rallied to meet the danger
N t onal considerations were
thrown overheard; General Eisen
hover placed me in command o.
the whole northern front.
Il employed the whole available
power of the British group of ar
mics. This power was brought int
play very gradually and in such
a way that it would not interfere
with American lines of communi
cations. Finally it was put int
battle with bang, and today
British divisions are fighting hare

81 the Associated Press.

BREMERTON, Wash, Aug. 23.-
The aircraft carrier Wasp suffered
38S casualties March 10, when a
japanese bomb crashed through her
fight deck, but she steamed defiantly
on, her guns splitting death at
kamikaze pilots eager to polish her
of and her own planes taking the
air on schedule.
Not only did the Wasp live and
beat down the inferno set below
decks by the 500-pound bomb-she
did not falter in her position with
the fast and hard hitting Task
Force So, operating just 63 miles
from Japan.
The Navy, in releasing the story
yesterday, said the Wasp was hit
just two minutes after her sister
carrier, the Franklin, suffered the
bomb blow that cost her 1872 killed or
missing and 270 wounded. The Wasp
came to the Puget Sound Navy Yard
for repairs and long ago returned
to the fleet.
Up to the time she returned for
repairs, the Wasp's guns had

on the ground, not counting the
probables. They had sunk ia enemy
