In contrast to the scarcity Of
outstanding southpaw hurlers. the
present Shore circuit offers a ga
laxy Of standOut right handed pitt
chers and possibly FIVE or six may
make strong shOWings as the bal-
lOting progresses. Certain to re-
ceive consideration are Carl WOll-
CAST and Ed. Black, two Outstand-
ing members of a strong Salisbury
Cardinal mound corps; Dick Hall
and John AheFn, Milford main
stays; Chet Ross, dependable Eas-
ton right handler, and Joe Adams,
fredericksburg ace. Other right

receive scattered votes are Dick

John Bacon, Cambridge, and Art

Despite the fact that there are
five other outstanding first sackers
in the circuit, Norm Zauchin, SEN

tual "shOO-in" for selection at the
initial sack on this years CALL
Star" team. The hard-hitting 19-
year-old Detroit lad led the league
in six different batting departments
for six consecutive weeks, and, al
though he has since relinquished
his hold on the batting leadership,
he still is league leader in home
runs, runs batted in, doubles, and
total bases. The logical selection
as Rookie Of the Year" Zauchin
may also prove a strong contender
for designation as the Eastern
Shore Leagues Most Valuable
Player" for 1g48.
Second base is bound to present
somewhat of a problem to the
scribes, and, while the probable
final choice will be either Sails

CHILE IN ANTARCTIC

SANTIAGO. Chlle. Feb. 19.--LRt- Chile's President moved to establish ia military base in disputed Antarc- tic territory today after invoking the Western Hemisphere Defense Pact to bolster his nations claims.
 While Britain hinted an appeal to the United Nations and Australia weighed sending a warship to the Falklands, Chilean President Cab riel Gonzalez Videla pushed farther south on his spectacular expedition to set up the base on what Chile calls Bernardo O'Higginsland
 The site is on part of the ter ritory known as Grahamlsnd, which is claimed by Britain. It lies astride the Antarctic Circle.
 Dispatches to the Santiago news paper Mercurio from the Presidents ship, the transport Presidente Pinto, quoted Gen. Ramon Canas Montal- va. Chilean Army Chief-of-Staff, as saying the Presidents action is a step toward building Up Chile as South Pacific power"
 He recalled that O'Higgins, the hero of Chilean independence, once declared that "a glance at the map of South America is enough to show Chile holds the keys to this vast portion
 The British have sent the 3,000-ton Chilean and Argentine activities in the Arctic and have announced they will support British Governor Miles Clifford of the Falklands in these issues.
 The British hay sent the 8,000-ton cruiser Nigeria into the Antarctic to show the Flag
 The Chilean. President landed at Greenwich Island yesterday. Ad- dressing Chilean troops there, he declared that any attempt by for eign power to seize territory claimed oy Chile in the Antarctic will be considered an aggression against all the nations of the Americas.

 The Russians demanded lifting of the ban. The Allied Kommandantur charged that it represented a tact less and unfriendly act' against the No. 2 man in the Soviet Government
 Louis F. Glaser, Chief of Civil Affairs in the American Military Government, said he rejected a Rus sian argument that the ban was un- warranted because Molotov's remarks had been printed in German news papers.

REQUEST FOR CHINA AID RAISES CRY OF
 TOO LATE, TOO LITTLE

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-tR- President Truman's plan to give China a s570,000, GOO economic shot in the arm raised cry of too little and too late in Congress today.
 Senator Bridges tR-NH) said the civil strife in China has passed the point where mere economic help will be enough. We should furnish military supplies to enable the Ma tionalist Government (of Chiang Kai-Shek) to use the equipment we have already given them,' the New Hampshire lawmaker told a reporter. He added
 The expenditure of many bil- lion dollars to halt the spread of Communist forces in Europe makes little sense if at the same time this Government allows China to go to the Communists by default"
 Bridges is Chairman of the Sen ate Appropriations Committee which will have big say over how much money China is to get and how it is to be spent
