by Stockton Boyd, in charge of
the navy recruiting station in La

numerous rumors that have been
circulating relative to the closing
of voluntary enlistments in the
naval service.
The voluntary age groups com

not yet reached their lUth birth

sized. Young men in the former
age group are reminded that
when coming to the recruiting
station to make application they
should bring their birth certifi

less as proof of age. In addition,
if a man is desirous of completing
his enlistment on that day, he
should bring his father or legal
guardian whoanuisl sign consent
forms in the presence of the re

trouble for all concerned in the
completion of the process of en

t oance, W
Democrats Shy
Away From Limit
Of Tenure Plan
Calls It
'Republican
Maneuver'
By LYLE C. WILSON
WASHINGTON. July 10 (UP)
Congressional democrats, whose
pary was dominated for 13 years
by Franklin D. Roosevelt, gener
ally shied away today from pro
posals the no-third-lerm rule be
imposed by law.
But there was more than a
spark of democrat interest in the
house judiciary committee. Chair
man Hatton W. Sumners, D.,
Tex., indicated his committee
probably will take up the ques
tion of presidential tenure after
the summer recess.
Maneuver
If Sumners and his powerful
committee get behind Hie pro
posal for a constitutional amend
ment limiting presidential serv
ice to two four-year terms, the
project is likely to get somewhere
at least in the house.
Sen. Lister Hill., D Ala., who
nominated Roosevelt for a fourth
term, opposed limitation. He
said the proposal was merely a
republican political maneuver.
Sen. Alben W. Barkley, D., Ky
who vecame democrat leader of
the senate in 1037 through the
personal intervention of Roose
velt, said: "I'm not keen for
limiting the people in their
choice. I see no reason why the
people should tic their own hands
in advance."
Morse For It
Chairman Pat MuCa ran, D.,
Nov., of the senate judiciary com
mittee, is uninterested.
House republican leudcr Jo
seph W. Martin, jr., Massachu
setts, gave the no-third-term
movement its first major boost
over the weekend. He urged that
congress submit to the states this
year a constitutional amendment
limiting presidential service to
two terms of four years each. He-
warned that ambition for possible
additional terms could be detri
mental to the national interest.
Sen. Wayne L. Morse, R., Ore.,
introduced in the senate yester
day a resolution to prevent i
third term. Various similar pro
positions are pending or have
been suggested. But it is recog
nized that this republican pro
posal of Martin's must have
democratic backing if it is to get
anywhere soon. President Tru
man will be asked to express an
opinion on a constitutional limi
tation. 'Yukon Belles'

Cub Win Streak
Broken Where It
Does No Harm
NEW YORK, July 10 (UP)
The 10-gamo winning streak of
the Chicago Cubs was broken to
day in the best possible way
where it didn t count in the Na
tional league standings in a 10
inning, 5 to 4 loss to the cross
town White Sox In a war-charity
game.
The White Sox victory, before
a crowd of 47,144 fans at Comis
key park," highlighted a program
of three inter-league night games
for the benefit of war charities.
Wally Moses hit a homer for the
Sox in the seventh and scored the
winning run in the 10th on a sin
gle by ;John Dicku'hot. Relief
pitcher Kurl Caldwell, holding
the Cubs to one hit in six inn
ings, was the winner over Paul
Derringer.
At New York, the Yankees put
on a six-run rally in the third to
beat the Giants, 7 to 1, at the
Polo Grounds before 41,207 fans,
who contributed $50,518. Ernie
Bonhnm gained the victory which
was insured in the big inning by
Hershcl Martin's grand-s 1 a m
homer.
A disappointing crowd of 0.060
fans saw the Cincinnati Reds
gain a 0 to 0 victory over the In
dians at Cleveland in a third
charity game. They contributed
about $0,000 to the national war
relief and service funds. Frank
Dasso, Vernon Kennedy and How
ard Fox collaborated in the Cin
cinnati shutout. Woody Wil
liams led the 13-hit Red attack
with three hits.
In war charity games today the
Cards and Browns play at St.
Louis, the Brooklyn Dodgers and
Senators at Washington, the Phil
lies and the Athletics at Phila
delphia and the Braves and Red
Sox at Boston.
Congress in Spot
In Latest March
Of Time Film
No more opportune time could
be found for the release of the
latest March of Time, "Spotlight
on Congress," than the moment
when President Truman has just
called upon his former colleagues
to be prepared to work hand in
hand with him on domestic and
foreign affairs.
For some time there has been
a growing feeling that congress is
operating under outmoded rules
of procedure. Now the March of
Time, which opens Wednesday at
the Liberty theater, by showing
audiences just how a congress
man spends his day, points up the
growing complexity of the indi
vidual congressman's problems.
In this connection, an import
ant sequence in the film shows
the plan of an industrial engi
neer, Robert Heller, to reorganize
and strengthen the congress and
make it a more efficient instru
ment of representative govern
ment. In a "14 point" program,
sponsored by the National Plan
ning ;issociation, Mr. Heller
makes such proposals as an" in
crease in Hie salaries of congress
men from ten to twenty-five
thousand dollars a year and a
slashing elimination of overlap
ping committees.

NEW YORK, July 10 (UP)
Persistent rumors along 49lh
street suggest Sgt. Joe Louis soon
will receive his honorable dis
charges from the army.; The
heavyweight champion, now 31,
has been in service three and a
half years.
In connection with these rum
ors, wemet a chap last night in
front of the Forrest hotel where
the great men of tin-car terrace
congregate. Using the side-mouth
delivery, ho whispered, 'Come
away from dose bums into the
bar; I got somclhin' hot to tell
yuh."
Straight Dope
His hot special was a repeti
tion of the Louis rumor, with
nourishes. He said:
"I got it straight from the right
party. Louis gets his discharge
in about a month maybe in time
lor an outdoor fight in September.
No, I don't know nothin' about
his points. With Louis, it ain't a
question of points. I got it
straight that the war department
figures Joe s job is done y know
wot I mean hclpin' the morals
of the fightin men. Can t use him
much in the Pacific, 'cause that's
a different kind of war.
Ready?
"An the war department knows
nearly every man in service
wants to sec Louis get out and
defend his title before he's so old
the first civilian heavy he meets
will belt his brains out. H-o's
one of the most popular guys in
service done everything he
could to entcrtain the boys, wher
ever the army font him, and
never was the least bit uppity.
They like him a lot, 'cause he's
been a credit to th army; an'
they know he's broke an' gct
lin' old for a fighter."
If champion Joe did get out
of the army in time for a Sept
ember title defense, who would
bo the challenger?
That was easy for our fountain
of information. He answered im
mediately; "Joe 'Baksi or Tami
Mauricllo.
Needs It
But are they ready yet to meet
the great Louis?
It am t a question of them
bein' ready," he explained, dig
ging an emphatic forefinger into
our ribs. "It's a question of
whether Louis is ready for them.
Joe's up at Camp Shanks now.
He weighs about two hunnert an'
twenny pounds, an' he ain't had
a fight in moron's three years
not since he knocked out big Abe
nimon in March, 11142. He 11 be
rusty as hell. And nobodj
knows if he'll ever be able to
get back in shape at his age."
Why would Louis chance a
c,uick title fight if there were
any great risk involved?
"Because Joe needs money

cluded. Novikoff To Go To

National Leaguers
Favored in Game
Not To Be Played
Had Best Hitting
This Year; But
Not Pitching
By CARL LUNDQUIST
NEW YORK, July 10 (UP) If
there is any consolation in being
favored to win a game that won't
be played, it belonged today to
the Nationul league, which prob
ably would have rated a 2 to 1
choice to win the war-cancelled
maor-league all-stiir contest at
Boston.
- This gamie, originally esched
uled to be played today in Fen
way park, home of the Red Sox,
was called off to reduce the war
time travel burden.
The Basehlt
Since the National league has
reversed a long-standing tradi
tion to become the hitters' circuit
for this season at least, it would
have rated a definite edge. over
the admittedly superior pitching
in the American, because in past
all-star games the base-hit has
been a mightier weapon than the
put-out.
The American leaguers, who
boasted u terrifying array of pow
er from 1933 until last season
riddled the brilliant National
league pitching year after year
to hang up a record of eight vie
torics in 12 starts in the mid-sea
son classic. With the balance of
hitting power now in the Na
tional, there is no reason to dis
regard logic and assume things
would have been any different
this year.
Leaden
In the 21 -man mythical honor
ary squads selected on the basis
of general excellence, the Na
tional league batters have a col
lective average of .314 as against
a mark of ,284 for the American.
In the vital runs-batted-in de
partment, one of the chief items
considered in selecting the squads
the National leaguers h)id 60k
against 414 for the junior circuitr
National league selectees have hit
79 homers to 61 for the American.
In pitching it is a different
story. Led by the all-conquering
Dave (Boo) Ferriss of the Red
Sox, whose 14 wins and two loss
es provide the best mark in the
majors, the American league
corps of six has 02 wins and 23
losses. The National league sex
tet has a mark of 55 wins and 22
defeats.
The National league has the
year's number one all-around hit
ter in Tommy Holmes of the
Braves, whose .400 mark at the
last official tabulation was 40
points better than that of the
next regular in either league.
Man of 77 Claims
'Walking' Record
GALESBURG, 111., July
(UP) Seventy-seven year
William Farlow, Galesburg,
10
old
111.,
boasted today he can outwalk
any man or boy in the state of
Illinois.
Farlow can back up his chal
lenge, too. Yesterday he made
a seven-mile hike in an hour and
37 minutes, bettering the "rec
ord" for that distance claimed by
John W. Simpson, 75, Spring
field. Simpson who had strolled from
Rochester to Springfield in two
hours and 25 minutes, challenged
anyone 75 years or older to beat
bis record.
Farlow accepted the challenge.
He wore his regular, everyday
clothes for the hike and even
carried an umbrella.

Denny Sliute Leading
In National PGA
DAYTON, O., July 10 (UP)
Dapper Denny Shute of Akron,
O., striving to keep alive one of
golfdom's grittiest comebacks,
goes out for a new record today
as the big push gets under way
in the final qualifying round of
the PGA national tournament.
And Shute, leading the field,
couldn't have picked a tougher
time. For 140 of America's best
pros are shooting against him in
an effort to gain one of the 31
qualifying places open in the fi
nals of this most celebrated of
big league tournaments.
Won Twice
Forgotten except for his 1030
and 1937 PGA championships and
his 1933 victory in the British
open, Shute exploded out of no
where yesterday when he blazed
a fivo-under-par 67 over the Mo
raine country club course to take
a one-stroke lead going into the
last 18 holes of the 36-hole quali
fying play.
Shutc's present play marks the
climax of a long climb back.
Smitten by a crippling wrist in
jury in March, 1940, and by ap
pendicitis only six months later,
Shute has never fully recovered
his championship form of a dec
ade ago. He did manage to qual
ify for the 1943 PGA, the last one
in which he played.

Hollywood Stars
Have New Outlook
By JACK DAILEY
Overshadowed since the start
of the Pacific coast league base
ball season by the consistent
Portland Beavers and the equally
steady Seattle Rajniers, Holly
wood's Stars have come up from
the second division with a new
outlook on the pennant race.
While they remain in last place
in the standings, 17 Vi games be
hind the Beavers, the Stars
prved to be the surprise of the
league during the last two weeks.
In their recent series with Oak
land, they won the odd game for
a 4-3 edge in the series. Against
San Diego a week later, they
copped the eight-game runoff,
0-2. They hold a record of 10
victories in their last 15 games.
In league play this week, the
leaders will find out if the San
Francisco Seals are going to be
as much a pushover as they ap
peared to be in Sacramento last
week.
Pairings for the next eight
games, beginning luesday eve
ning, find Portland and San Fran
cisco clashing in the Rose City;
Oakland plays host to Sacramen

found strength against Seattle
and San Diego's Padres come up
to Wrigley field to engage the
Los Angeles Angels.
