Simmons, $50, 900 Bonus Boy,
Begins to Pay Off for PhiIs
By the Assoeio,ed Press

Apparently all that was troubling
young Curt Simmons was a case OF
big league jitters.
Off to a poor start, the 19-year-
old Egypt pa High School gradu-
ate who received record bonus OF
SEC, 1000 from the Philadelphia Phil
lies last summer. is beginning to
pay back dividends on the invest
ment.
The solidly built southpaw gave
the most impressive performance OF
his brief career last night when he
outpitched the great Ewell Black
we'll as the PhiIlies defeated the
Reds, 80, in Cincinnati.
Simmons was tagged for nine
hits, but in only two innings did he
allow more than one hit. He gave
the 28,423 fans a good look at his
fast ball by blazing third strikes
past nine Redlegs.
The victory, which advanced the
fifth place Phils to only 2i2 games
behind the first-place New York
Giants in one of the closest races
in National League history, was
Simmons third in succession. He
now has record of four victories
and four defeats. Just two weeks
ago Curt boasted only one victory
against four setbacks. Yesterdays
triumph followed 81 and 4-3 victo-
ries over Pittsburgh and Chicago,
respectively.
Dick Sisler, hard-hitting Philly
first baseman, supplied the victory
wallop for Simmons and the Phils.
The former st. Louis Cardinal
cracked his ninth home run of the
season with two men aboard in the
third inning to account for all Phil
adelphia'S runs. Blackwell, the
Reds ace Highlander, who gave up
only five hits. was lifted for a pinch
hitter in the seventh inning. 1t was
Blackie's fourth loss, his first at
night. He had won nine straight
under the lights, eight without a
setback last year and one this sea-
son.
The Cardinals missed glorious
opportunity to take over first place
when they suffered an lis setback

NEWARK, N. j., June 1o.-No
rain is expected tonight for the post
poned Tony zale-Rocky Graziano
l5-round middleweight title bout in
Rupert Stadium out-of-doo ring.
The bout, originally set for last
night, was postponed because OF
rain.
The Weather Bureau, in its 10
am. forecast, said there would be.
considerable cloudiness this after
noon and tonight, but no rain Is
expected.
On edge after months of training
drudgery for this third and rubber
fight, Graziano and Zale were KEEN
ly disappointed when intermittent
transforms yesterday set back the
fray day.
They weighed in yesterday at City
Hall-Champion Graziano at 1854
and Zale at 158%-and don't have
to repeat the ceremony today.
While Zale and Graziano were
disturbed over the postponement,
the promoting Tournament Of
Champions, Inc. counted on it to
bring another harvest of dollars.

ready were assured of breaking even
on their initial promotion. They've
got ticket sale of more than $277,-
600 and $4,000 for radio and movie

is pure gravy. Graziano will get
s120 900 and zale $4,000.
The promoters still hope to hit
their goal of a $4,000 crowd and q

Sparks Attack
AL Shines as Browns
Bow, 81; Coon Hits
His Fourth Homer
By Burton Howkins

The plaintive walls that provided
mournful accompaniment for the
departure of talented Stan Spence
to Boston last winter gradually have
been transformed into CHEEKY notes
AL Kozar, the key figure in that
deal from Washington's standpoint
quietly and with a minimum OF
fanfare is making the grade.
The Mats silent second baseman
has lifted a cape of criticism from
the shoulders of his boss, Clark
Griffith, who dared dispatch a
recognized crack outfielder to the
Red Sox in exchange for a New Or
leans product he never had
glimpsed.
Outfielder Leon Culberson, who
came in that Red Sox package with
Kozar, long since has drifted to
Kansas City, but that situation also
has cleared happily for the Mats.
For Culberson and bundle of
cash the Mats obtained Outfielder
Ed Stewart from the New York
Yankees and Stewart rapidly is be-
coming the favorite performer of
Griffith Stadfam's regulars.
KOzar Overcomes Handicap.
Kozar, who fashioned two hits
last night as the Mats spanked the
st. Louis Browns, So, is batting
an inconspicuous 263. but chiefly re-
sponsible for that debated average
was hn insistence on remaining in
the lineup with pair of painfully
damaged fingers.
Al launched the season impress
sively, compiling 1888 figure in his
first 10 games. That average
tobogganed to .211 shortly after
Kozar cracked bones in two fingers
but in his last "a games he has
tackled 50 points to that mark. Over
that span AL has hit substantial
.305 and there has been no moaning
about his fielding.
Kozar's steady play perhaps has
assured the Mats of a respectable
second baseman for years. He has
performed admirably and If he
maintains his present pace he'll be
stamped as one of the seasons out
standing rockies.
Griffith gambled, in disposing OF
Spence, that Gil Coan would take up
some slack in the Mats outf1ed. Like
Kozar, Coan hasn't constructed an
impressive average, but he's dis
playing flashes OF batting brilliance
which have installed him as q con-
stant threat.
COan Sparks Attack.
Coan slammed a home run, his
fourth of the year, and triple last
night to spark the Mats concen-
trated eight-hit attack on the
Browns Cliff Fannin. Al Widnar
and Frank Biscan. Meanwhile the
Browns were being rationed to four
hits by Early Wynn, who didn't al
low safety in the final 51s innings
in registering his sixth win.
Wynn was clipped for run in the
third inning on Sam Denies double
and two-base error by Third Base
man Eddie Yost, but the Mats re-
taliated with three runs in their por-
ton of the inning when Wynn
doubled. Kozar singled and Coan
and Stewart tripled.
Jerry Priddy's double and Al
Zarillas single sliced the Mats ad-
vantage to 80 in the fourth. but
Coan's inside-the-park homer, a
walk to Stewart, Mickey Vernon's
double and Al Evans grounder
netted the Mats two runs in the
sixth.
Wynn Braces After Fourth.
Wynn braced after the fourth
inning, retiring Is Browns in order
before he walked Paul Lehner-his
only walk of the game-with two
out in the ninth.

crossed approximately $269,574 for the three bat

possible. They will share in the distribution of $45

ious movements had been able to command. The time had come when we must be prepared to go out and do battle for our faith.
 Sir Stafford Cripps said the meeting was no ordinary Chris tian gathering, but an attempt to mobilize the Christian effort and Christian faith in western Europe behind the great political social and economic drive to turn our future towards the ways of peace, harmony, and happiness.
 If we are to translate our Chris tian faith, the free and fearless spirit with which we had been diVinely endowed into terms of practical effect, we could only do it through that form of free anu progressive democracy which had grown to be the symbol of our cOuntry'S Christian civilization and not of that of western Europe.
 For that democracy, and not some totalitarian or authoritarian conception, alone embodied the true freedom of the spirit which was the essential basis of ouc religious beliefs.
 We must not only employ dennU- cratic methods, but we must use them for Christian ends. The free dom and justice which our Chris tian faith demanded must be ex- plicit in the actions of our com munity, whether in the interna- tional, or local sphere.
 The conscious exertion of our beliefs was not by any means an easy task. If it were, it would be hardly worth the while, for it would accomplish little or mo- thing. It was the effort, the hard work, the determination that was required of us that gave us the

ARMY LICKS WINTER WEATHER DRIVING PROBLEM
 By Edward Prizer

DEE hOl l ,- NH.) line Army hes learned how to operate motor vehicles in arctic winter weather.
 The tough problem of getting a truck to run efficiently at 60-be- low temperatures had the army Stymied for a long time, but the solution has been worked out by engineers at the Detroit arsenal in cooperation with industrial teChnicianS.
 Capt. William Klein, of Largo, Fla, who supervised tests, sums up findings thus:
 "Motor vehicles can now be op- erated about as efficiently at 60- below as at normal temperatures"
 "The army found out about warfare in the arctic in<the winter of 1946-47 when a task force of HAP men and 700 vehicles staged a maneuver around Fairbanks, Al aska, operating in temperatures down to 65 below.
 All sorts of things happened to vehicles. Oil froze hard as rock. Batteries failed to supply current. Insulation broke off wires. Car buretors misbehaved continually. Sometimes it took hours to start an engine in the morning.
 The winterization process de- veloped under supervision of Det- roit arsenal consists chiefly of these things;
 1. Installing a gasoline heater to keep the engine. transmission and other vital parts warm at all times.
 2. Lubricating with a special oil which remains liquid at lower temperatures.
 3. Using special cold-resistant rubber parts and tires.
 4. Heating and insulating ve- hicle cabs to provide for com fort of personnel
 Last fall hundreds of winter ization kits were flown to the ar my at Fairbanks. Capt. Klein, M/Sgt Adam Asman, of Vest field, Mass, and W/O. Michael of Baltimore, went along to conduct tests and teach drivers how to use the equipment.
 The real test of winterization lay in the amount of wear and tear. Arctic use previously cut the life of a vehicle in half.
 So six of the test trucks were driven back to Detroit and were stripped. Bearings, pistons and other parts showed only normal wear.
 The army is still conducting tests on these parts, but officers are sure the biggest prob lems of arctic driving are licked
 Col. Joseph Colby. arsenal eng ineer, emphasizes the strategic importance of winterization. He says that if war comes it will develop along the nearest routes between mass population centers. In our case, he says, that is by way of the arctic.

That takes time, too.
And so, despite its shortages of
gear and equipment and instruc-
ton facilities, Battery D is getting
a little better all the time.
Captain Thorne has another
problem - that of maintaining
full attendance at drills. The men
receive their pay in grade for
every drill. For the rookie that
comes to around twenty dollars
a month. In these money-free
days it seems, though, that it
takes more than pay to cause any
of US to do anything. i?
Now, having given the thing a
fair run for its money, he's about
ready to take action. And the es-
sence of his plan is: Either man
will become a good soldier at
home, or he's going to be given a
chance to become a good soldier
away from home"
In palmer terms, he intends to
drop from the Battery men who
have not been attending drills
and have not consulted with him
about their repeated absences.
They'll return to civilian status
without a blemish on their record.
Captain Thorne doesn't want to
put a black mark on any mans
experience. But, when they leave
the guard, they become eligible
again for CONSUMPTION under the
current draft program of the arm
ed forces, and that's when they'll
get their chances to become good
soldiers away from home.

Thorne says, by taking an interest
in the Guard. Parents of Guard

appeared to be getting that same
impression. The job he gave us
was a straightforward job. He
took over when we needed him,
and he stayed on until we didn't
need him anymore.
This, then, is the sort of man
who says he needs help from us
now.
Captain Thorne demands more
than brave show from the men
he commands. He wants them
smartly turned out in we'll fitting
uniforms, with insignia properly
worn. But that's because he wants
them to have pride in themselves
and in their outfit - not for the
purpose Of creating a military
fashion review.
He's had trouble on this score
because supplies have been com
ing through slowly, and he hasn't
always been able to issue uni
forms in the proper sizes to the
men. And the men haven't had
time, and in some cases have not
felt they could afford, to have
them altered to fit them.
But he's making Roadway. He's
in little better position to equip
his men adequately now than he
was few weeks ago, and within
a few months, he expects to be in
still better position.
Captain Thorne would like you
to know, however, that it does
take time to build an outfit, and
that you'll be hearing more and
more from them as time passes.
His approach to training ts
much the same. He believes that
every man must have - not just
superficial knowledge of his
job - but deeply ingrained
training that will enable him to
protect himself and defend his
people if he is ever called upon to
do so.
