the Great Lakes Bluejackets base,
ball' team and; as a playing ooach
he will be throwing his famed last
one against big league teams once
again.
Great Lakes, which had one of
the nation's top baseball teams
last season, will play practically
all of the major league teams this
year. They won 4B out. 01 ou games
a year ago and, whipped seven big
'league clubs under the guidance
of Lt. Cmdr. Gordon: (Mickey)
Cochrane, now on active duty in
the Pacific.
i Will Prove Test
Feller's return to the mound
will provide the first real test of
whether big league service stars
will be able to come back to shine
as brightly as before. Feller is one
of the American league's greatest
pitchers. He is now 26 years old
and has been aboard the high seas
for almost 27 months. As a direc
tor of quadruple-mount heavy ma-
chino guns In the Dattiesnip gun
nery division. Feller saw action In
the Marshalls, Gilberts, Marianas,
qw Guinea and the Philippines.
"I'm in good shape," Feller said.
"Sure, I'm going to pitch with the
Bluejackets. I believe I'll be- as
good as ever."
"Good As Ever"
"Good as ever" means just
about the best, ,The Van Meter,
la., meteor won 107 games and
. lost 54 during his six-year span
with the Cleveland Indians. . .
He Joined the Indians in 1936, a
kid of 18. years. During his first
two years, .Feller won 14' and. lost
10 games. But in 1938 he began
to get his lightning speed-' pitch
under control to win 17 games,
losing 11., , ..;
Then came his sensational
three-year pitching splurge. The
Iowa farm boy won 24 and lost
nine in 1939 and won 27 and lost
11 in 1940 as well as pitching a
no-hit, no-run game. In 1941, his
last year with Cleveland, he won
25 and lost 13. . '

two top golfers, Sammy Snead

for first money, went into its
second extra 18-hoIe playoff to
day with both of them still tied.
Neither was ablo to gain more
than a momentary advantage as
they dueled over the rolling Myers

with three-under par 69's.
For Snead, lt was the same
heart-wracking finish that he ex
perienced on the previous day.
Getting on the green in one on the
short 18th hole, he needed an eight
foot putt for a birdie two, but the
hall missed tho cup by Inches.
Nelson's drive also was on the
green, but a greater distance from
the cup and he was conceded little

Rojo's second, Dan Thomas,
jumped into the ring, shouting
that his boy had taken enough.

len from the lightweight king's
relentless infighting attack. The
bleeding began in the third round

Rojo, a 10 to 1 underdog, waged
a game battle out snowed lacK

al times with long rights but
quickly lost his advantage each
time.
