RUSSIA WAVES RED FLAG AT BRITAIN, U. S.
fCont'nued from Page OneJ

fC0ntlnned from Page Onej and after the warrior the sake of insuring lasting peace and the security of nations
 "Efforts on the part of certain strong states to impose their will on other nations will occur in the future, too" he said, but in re- gard to the Soviet Union, both in the past and in the future, they are doomed to failure"
 Molotov declared that they say" it sometimes is difficult to draw line between the desire for security and the desire for expansion.
 Indeed it is difficult at times" he said. For instance what inter ests of the security of the United States of America dictate the de- mand for military bases in Iceland? Evidently what matters here is by no means the security of the Unit cd States but entirely different as- pirations.
 Is Someone Lying Now?
 Molotov asserted that Bynes had made somewhat inaccurate statement" in saying that he had obtained Prime Minister Stalin's consent in principle" last Decem- Der to a proposed 25-year-treaty among the United States, Britain, Russia and France for accomplish ing the disarmament and demobili- zation of Germany.
 Tn December MT. Byrnes did not as yet have the draft of such a treaty and therefore Prime Minister Stalin's consent to non-existent treaty could not have been given, l" Molotov said, the matter then be- ing reduced to brief exchange of views on the idea of treaty of mutual assistance in case of re- sumption of German or Japanese aggression.

game against Jones, hammering the
ball from back court, but the naval
officer took the net at every oppor-

that point on placement volleys and

rates at least a iook-in on the title

Redskins Filling Squat
with Gridders New
To Capital Fans
By Lewis F. Atchison

It's even money you won't know
half the Redskins when they open
their 1946 pigskin parade in Septem-
Der. Only II Of the 80 players who
finished the 1945 season are left and
more heads will drop in the basket
before the squad heads for its train
ing stretch at Los Angeles next
month.
Latest to go is Al Piasecky, big,
blond end. who drew his outright re-
lease yesterday and is expected to
sign with an all-Ameche conference
outfit. In the wake of that an
nouncement came rumors of deal
that will send Halfback Cecil Hare
and End Tom Miller to the Green
Bay Packers. But General Manager
Sid Corroll had no information on
the latest gossip, or how the Skins
would benefit, financially or other
wise.
At the moment the Tribe has 16
backs, not counting Merlyn Condit,
who most certainly will not return
because Of his wife's frail health.
Three centers. seven guards, seven
tackles and-this will surprise YOU
II ends round out the roster. Pres
ident George Marshall is trying to
work deal whereby Condit will be
able to play football on the West
Coast, but with no luck thus far. 1t
may come to pass that he'll be
given his release, paving the way
for him to sign with the rival circuit
If that is the only way he can play
football and still remain near his
wife.
That end situation, which has an
noyed some critics no end-that's a
pun, son, pun-isn't as mournful
as 1t sounds. Johnny Kovatch and
Ted Lapks are coming back and End
Coach Wayne Miller has some prom
Using candidates in George Hillery,
Johnny Lookabaugh, Frank Brog-
ger, Jim PEBBLES, Leo Presley and
Clayton Pletz. Then, too, Doug
Turley will be back and the Scran-
ton scrapper last year indicated he
is just beginning to reach his peak.
The flanks should be well handled.

Stretch Lead 10 81
Games as Reds Nip
Cards in Overtime
By RoIph Roden
Associated Press Sports Writer

The Philadelphia Phillies' surge
out of the National League cellar
and their threatened movement into
the first division has gained popular
appeal throughout the Nation. But
to the pace-setting Brooklyn Dodg-
ers they look like the Phillies Of old.
Winners of 20 out OF their last 20
decisions, the Phils came into Brook
lyn riding a bandwagon that in
cluded practically everybody with
the notable exception of Lippy Leo
Durocher and his battling crew.
The Buns lost no time in casting
their dissenting votes.
In the first inning at Ebbets Field
before 1913 OF the Flatbush faith
full last night the Dodgers ended
whatever dreams Manager Ben
Chapman's aggregation had of
gaining their first triumph of the
year over the Brooks by blasting Art
Lopatka and Tommy Hughes for six
runs. Brooklyn continued its blitz
with three markers in the second
and two more in the fifth to pile up
an 11-2 lead and allow Hank Behr-
man to coast to an LIS victory.
Stevens Big Dodger Gun.
Ed Stevens was the big gun in the
Dodger attack. The first sacker
raped in four runs on two doubles
and single. Joe Medwick. recently
signed by Brooklyn as a free agent,
started the, Phils on their day to
defeat by driving in the tlrst run in
the first inning.
The win was the Dodgers sixth
straight, their ninth in row with
the Phils, and it stretched their first
place margin over the st. Louis
Cardinals to six and one-half games
as the Red Birds bowed. 50, to the
Cincinnati Reds in 13 innings.
Benny Zientara scampered home
from third base with the Reds win
ming run in the fourth extra frame
on Pinchhitter Ray Lamannos ny
out.
The Cards took an early 80 lead
behind Murry Dickson but AL Libke
homered with one on in the seventh
to send the Reds out in front. st.
Louis tied the score in the ninth
with Whitley Kurowski scoring on
squeeze play.
Rip Sewell made it two shutout
victories in succession for the Pirates
by blanking the Chicago Cubs, 10,
on four hits.
In a twilight game before 1888
fans at Detroit, Virgil Fire" Trucks
Of the Tigers whitewashed the Chi
cago White Sox, 20. to post his
ninth conquest Of the year.
Roger Cramer singled home Hank
Greenberg, who had doubled, with
the Tigers initial counter in the
fifth frame and Roy Cullenbine
homered In the sixth of Joe Haynes.
Berry Shines in Comeback.
Jittery Joe Berry, purchased early
yesterday by the Cleveland Indians
from the Toronto Maple Leafs of
the international League, celebrated
the occasion by gaining credit for
Cleveland's 6-4 triumph over the
st. Louis Browns and batting in
what proved to be the winning run.
The 38-year-old right-hander,
who last season twirled for the Phil
adelphia Athletics, entered the game
in the sixth inning with the score
deadlocked at A and Chet Laabs
on third with one out. Berry retired
the side and in the bottom half of
the stanza he singled home Felix
Mackiewicz with the tie-breaking
counter.
The New York Yankees downed
the Giants. 80, in an exhibition
game at the Polo Grounds.

score on an outfield fly and making
other mistakes an overzealous, am
bilious rookie is likely to commit.
Granted another chance In Bos-
ton, the former minor league sensa-
ton came through In spectacular
style. Not only did he cuff extra
base blows, but he also conducted
himself admirably af1eld despite the
fact he was playing left field
strange territory to him since he
was strictly rightfielder with
Chattanooga.
Coan still ranks as the Mats most
promising rookie in years. His arm
won't rate with the best in the
league, but he'll hit and he'll out
run anybody in baseball, including
George Case and Snuffy Stirnweiss.
Viewing top-flight major league
pitching for the first time this year.
Coan has performed exceptionally
well and will display improvement
with more experience. He hasn't
broken into the Mats talented, ex-
perienced outfield because Bluege
understandably has been reluctant
to gamble, but If he clicks in the
next few days Ossie may be inclined
to string along with him with an
eye toward the future.
Hitting isn't one of the problems
plaguing Bluege I'm satisfied with
our batting says Ossie, land I'm
content our pitchers will show vast
improvement. After all, we have too
good a pitching staff to be belted
around as consistently as it has been
lately"
Either Dutch Leonard or Sid Hud-
son. who were to have faced the Ath-
letics in the postponed double-head-
er here today, or Ray Scarborough
will confront the AS in a twin bill
here toporrow.
The Mats will return to Grif,th
Stadium on Thursday for a double
header with the Yankees.
