Former Football Star Gets Biggest Thrill in First Homer in Big League By HARRY GRAYSON NEW YORK, April 20 (NEA) As Fnrdham's passing and smash ing fullback, Stephen Charles Fillpowicz appeared in the Col ton nnd Sugar howls and the Fast-West Shrine game. Jack Kimbrough and his phe nomenal Texas A. and M. crew had a terrific job edging the Ram '..hen Steve Filipowic was a sophomore. Young Filipowiev and bis mates shaded Missouri, 2-0. on a rainy New Year's day m New Orleans. Filipowic played 50 minutes as the East beat the West in San Francisco. Climaxing an illustrious foul- ball career, Filipowicz. then of the marine corps, switched to tailback to help the College All Stars trim the professional Wash i'lglon Redskins. 24-14. in the all star game in Chicago. In bis fi nal season of football, spent with the Georgia pte-flight scl.oul team, Flip was in only one losing l..ime.

Wet grounds kept Hollywood idle at Seattle. Wensloff, who fanned 10 Seals including five in the first two innings, wound up the game with a bang when he struck out Neill Sheridan, Seal big gun, in the last of the ninth with the tying run on third. Bernie Uhalt died there after a pretty triple. The next -two batters fouled out, with Sheridan going down swinging. Homers Sew Up Game The Angels drew up into a three-way tie for fifth place with Si.n Francisco and their oppon ents. Mel Hicks and Lou Novi koff paced Los Angeles' offensive with three circuit blows. Hicks drove in three men with two home runs, as did Novikoff's sixth inning homer with the bases loaded. Pitcher Ad Liska held the Oaks lo four hits as the Beavers in creased their league leadership by half a game. They nicked Halo Chelini, Oak southpaw, for fix bingles, bunching three of them, including doubles by John ny O'Neill and Liska for two inns in the second frame. Ted Gullic's circuit clout over the left field wall in the third ac counted for the third run. TODAYS SPORTVPARADE By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 28 (UP) These are trying days for Frankie Frisch. His Pittsburgh Piratos and his arthritis must be driving him almost as daffy as the gas house gang did in the old days. For his Pirates, tagged as one of the teams to beat in the 1045 penant race, can't got going. Tl'oy've won only two of eight games so far and are down in the National league cellar with the Philadelphia Phillies. That's no wav for a team eye ing a championship to be playing oan ami it naicliy is the way to ul fm. in the eight-hit perform ticat a man who already has had Mu,e Moreover, he was entitled enough trouble this spring.

As .st-'tv as it was the ni thri lls didn't bothiM' tho old Kurd- ham flash nearly as much as the current Pirate losing streak is up setting him now. For if there is one thing in the world Frisch hates, it's losing ball gatvs. There's the matter of Pitts burg fans to be considered, too. l'lankie h;;s hen popular there, but tho happ-.'nings of last Sun day may indicate a change in thiir altitude. When his team was dropping the second g.ime of double-header to the Chicago Cub: att.'r having lost the first game, the crowd of J7.000 began showring cushions around the I'liate dugout. It's been a long I time since a demonstration like ' that has been von around Pittts- ' burgh. I But Frisch is too tough to let : a little thing like that get him ; down.

He us ually wears one of those wide brimmed gioen cloth hats instead of the regulation marine cap. He always carries a .45 and it has a slightly curved 25-cent piece imbedded in the handle. As says, "To make it worth something." Brady found two huge photo graph albums in a cove. The al bums are full of snapshots of Japanese girls and Chinese girls and young Japs in uniform and of family poses. He treasured it as though it we!-? full of people he knew. He studied it for hours and hopes lo take it home with him. "Anything for a souvenir," could be the motto of the mar ines. Another Indianapolis marine I met on Okinawa was Pfc. Dalla Rhude, who used to be a news paperman himself. He worked on the Indianapolis Times. He started carrying th-; Times when he was eight, then got into the editorial room as a copy beiy and kept that job till he joined the marir.?s. He is a icplacement; in other words he is in the pool that fills op the gaps made by casualties. But since there have been very few casualties he hasn't replaced anybody yet. ' ballas spent 22 months in Pan ama, was home for a little while and now has been over hore for four months. He says this Okin awa climate sure beats Panama, t Marines may be killers, but they're also just as senlinu nt il as- anybody olse. There is one pleasant boy in our company that I had talked with but didn't have any little incident lo write about him. so didn't put his name down. The morning I left Ihe company and was saying goodby all around, I could senso that he wanted to tell me something, so I hung around until he came out. It was about his daughter. This marine was Corp. Robert Kingan of Cuyahoga Falls. Ohio. He has been a marine for 13 months and over here 11 months. His daughter was born about si:: weeks ago. Naturally he has never seen her, but he's had a letter from her! It was a V I tter written in a childish scrawl and said: "Hello. Daddy, I am Karen Louise. I was born Feb. 25 at four minutes r.fter nine. I weigh five pounds and eight ounces. Your daughter, Karen." And then there was a PS on the bottom which said: "Postmaster please rush. My daddy doesn't know I am here." Bob didn't know whether it was actually his wife or his mother- in-law who wiote the U:r. He thinks maybe it was his motl'.er-in-iaw Mrs. A. II. Mor gan since it had her return ad dress on it. So I put that down and then a?k( d Bob what his motlur-in-law's first name was. He looked off into space for a moment, and then started laughing. "I don't know what her first rami is." he said. ' I always just called her Mrs. Morgan!" Sunday Monday - Tuesday GIRL-CRAZY not slory at ., ,,'OMyii.

Jobs Are Declared Essential to Keep Nation Democratic ! SPOKANE, Wash., April 28 (UP) Maximum employment is the most important postwar issue in America and 'f it is not at tained, democracy will give way to another form of government, Irwin II. Jones of Wenatehee. Wash., member of the American Legion's national employment committee, said yesterday. Addressing the closing session of a two-day postwar employ ment conference, Jones told 100 representatives of industry, busi ness, labor and agriculture that "the men and wome n in our arm ed services today will not stand idly by through another period of mass unemployment such as we went through in 1932 and 1033." Jones, co-chairman of the con ference, said the Legion's nation al executive committee will as semble the suggestions of labor and industry from this and 11 similar regional conferences and fiom them fashion a pattern to supplement the Legion's program for maximum postwar employ ment. Ralph II. Lavcn of Washing ton. D.
