FILLER IN
 COMEBACK
 WITH WIN
By JACK HAND

Bob Feleler's comeback" and Clevelands extra-inning magic are keeping the Indians in the .Ameri- can League race.
 Just when New York and Boston seemed set for a private stretch drive, the Indians elbowed in by I'snatching three straight from the Red Sox.
 The Trice's success in humping Boston in 13 of 19 starts could be the making of a second straight pennant. However, it also could pave the way to the flag for the Yankees.
 The idle Ranks, in Kansas City for an exhibition, saw their lead mount to four full games. Cleve- land is five and half back.
 Teller, now winner of 13, engi- neered the first Cleveland victory, 5-2. After the Indians tagged Earl Johnson for two runs in the first inning, Teller drove home third in the second frame. It was his fourth victory over the Sox who have beaten him only once.
 The Tribes amazing extra-inning skill enabled them to pull the sec ond out of the loss column, 5-4, in 10 innings. Ted Williams 35th homer with one on broke a 2-2 | tie in the seventh but Cleveland tied the score in the ninth and nudged Joe Dobson for the decisive run in the tenth. It was the In- dians' 18th overtime win in IT games, four over Boston.
 Mike Fresh, reserve catcher who had not batted in run all season, drove home the big score with a left field single.
 Detroit, trying desperately to make it a four team battle, won it's eighth straight by defeating Phila- delphia, 4-3, in 10 innings.
 Dick Kokcs singled with the cases loaded in the ninth for the St. Louis Browns 2-1 edge over Wash ington in their battle to stay out o1 the cellar.
 Those St. Louis Cardinals came up with big seven-run seventh inning at Boston, trouncing the Braves, 8-2, to protect their two and half game lead over Brooklyn in the National.
 Brooklyn's Jack Banta matched Brazle's six-hitter as he went the route for the first time in his brief major league career, downing Pittsburgh, 5-1.
 Larry Jansen earned win No. 15 for New York as the Giants climbed back even with the 800 mark by shading Cincinnatis Ken Raffens- berger, 3-2. Hank Thompson's seventh inning homer was the mar gin of victory.
 Homers by Stan Lopata and Andy Seminick in the eighth inning en- abled the Phillies to top Chicago, 6-5, in a night game that drewe only 2,802 to Shibe Park.

 PRACTICE STARTING
(By the Associated Press)

tDy bilt GooOCldONQ I lCooJ
 Football practice in the Pacific Coast Conference opened amid the popping of photographers flash Lulbs and the hopes that this may Ice the West Coasts year in the Rose Bowl.
 Strictly on paper, the University of Southern California Trojans look like the class of the conference. Jeff Cravath had 82 gridders turn out yesterday at the opening ses- sion. With 25 lettermen among them, Jeff easily fielded veteran first string for the cameramen. Of |, course, big reason for uses nomi- nation for preseason favorite is that 14-l4 tie last year with mighty Notre Dame.
 However, California and Oregon, co-titlists in 1948, must be con sidered. Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf had ST Huskies turn out but at last report he still was looking hard for another Jackie Jensen.
 Oregon's Jim Aiken started off bis 54 gridders with an opening day scrimmage. He too is doing some fancy looking-for another Norm Van Brocklin.
 Coach Red Sanders, the eX-Van- derbilt mentor, greeted his 54 UCLA hands with the gloomy news that Les Steiner, three-letter guard, is quitting the game. He is staying in school but is working instead.
 Stanford's undefeated 1948 frosh team plus some topnotch junior college transfers m ct Marchy Schwartz at Palo Alto.
 New coach Laverne (Kip) Taylor of Oregon State also is loaded with returning lettermen. Of the 55 who turned out, 24, were letter. winners. He expects to scrimmage Wednesday.
 Dark horse of the conference is the University of Washington. Howie Odell's Huskies have fullback Hugh McElhenny this year. The speedy transfer from Compton JIG. is considered to be the prize rookie catch of the conference. sa
 Coach Phil Sarboe of Washing ton State predicts his Cougars will field the best team in years. T.
 Little is known of Montana and Idaho although the latter has 20 returning lettermen.

US Capita Low
Of $4,000 Vets Eligible
Only 1900 Mad e
Claims, According To
James M. ROsbrOW.

DelaWare's payments to veterans
in Servicemen's Readjustment Al
lOwances were the lowest in the
country on a per capita basis,
James M. RosbrOw, secretary OF the
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission, reported this week.
In a talk to member of Delaware
Post No. l, American Legion, the
commission secretary said that
Delaware's veterans and employers
deserve equal praise for what ne
termed a splendid record.
He told the LegiOnnaires that
while there were some $4,000 vet
Grams eligible for the 1920 Club"
payments here, only 1866 veterans
exhausted their benefits while H.
600 claims were filed. He called the
number of exhaustiOns "a startling
figure, and one of which Delaware
veterans can be proud"
1t was estimated by the commits
sion, he said, that 100000 benefit
checks could have been drawn by
veterans here. However, he pointed
out, fewer than 100000 checks
were drawn, or less than 20 pei
cent of the overall eligibility.
S6,0OO,OOO Paid Out
A total of less than S6,O0O,000 was
paid out in the special allowances
authorized under the CT Bill oi
Rights, he reported, up to the time
that the allowances were cut off il

Eden Lodge To
Confer Degree
Friday, Oct. q
Affair Will Be Held In
ArmOry Hall Under
Auspices OF Crystal
FOunt Lodge.

ArmOry Hall, Milford, will be the
mecca of lower Delaware Odd Fell
lows on Friday evening, October 21,
at 500 o'clock. The occasion will
be the comforting of the first and
third degrees by the nationally
known degree team of Eden Lodge
of Wilmington. This team has won
just acelamatiOn wherever they put
on their work.
The affair in Milford will be un-
der the auspices of Crystal Fount
Lodge No. 10, which extended an
invitation to Eden Lodge to put on
the degrees, which invitation was
graciOusly accepted. The Milford
lodge during the past year has TAX
en- in over forty new members. 1t
is the desire that all of these new
members will take advantage of
seeing these degrees put on. Due
to the lack of facilities, and other
circumstances Crystal FOunt at the
present time only puts on the initia-
tory degree, and Obligates in the
other three. The membership feels
that all members should see all the
degrees conferred, so that they bet
ter can realized the principles of the
fraternity.
With this thought in mind, invi-
tations have been extended to al
Odd Fellows lodges in Kent anC
Sussex Counties to attend this gath.
ering, and gain a better insight in
the working of the order. Any Ode
Fellow in Milford on Friday even
ing, October 21, is welcome to at
tend. and if you are an Odd Fellow
this is your invitation to be in Mil
ford on that evening.
