TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Athletic Program Builds Gl's Morale, Ike Claims By Jack Cuddy (United Press Correspondent) Frankfurt-Am-Main, Germany, Aug. 28 (U.PJ Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower had no worries to day over morale of American troops In Europe, provided they are supplied with enough ath letic equipment. Given five free hours any where, he said, an American sol dier Is sure to get some kind of a game started. He described the American love of sports as a continuation of the frontier spirit. Initiative and the desire to excel, stimulated by sports, have made the Americans excel lent soldiers, he added. Ik Meets Writers Elsenhower met touring Amer ican sports writers for an In formal half hour, at his private office In the "European Penta gon, the I. U. rarDeninausine office buildings where more than 17.000 persons work in eluding 4.000 officers of the Headquarters Command. Elsenhower said the army was developing sports In the Euro pean theater and stimulating In ter-allied competition In order to provide wholesome recrcatirn for U. S. troops and to promote International relations. He said the playing field de veloped so much spirit that a boy beaten In the 100-yard dash will try next to win the 220-yard dash, a more difficult run. Boxing Great Sport He said he thought boxing was the greatest sport when properly undertaken, because it developed self confidence and conquers fear of personal Injury when men learn that a black eye or bloody nose Is not so serious as he has Imagined. By next spring, he said, he hoped that the only American servicemen left In Europe would be the army of occupation which may be smaller than the 400.000 originally Intended to do the job. p.ni.mpnt, h. ..(rt .hniH h available for any man who hasl served in the war unless he do sires to remain in Europe, TORI Peterson, N. J., Aug. 28 U.R) Boxing champions were warned by President Abe J, Greene of the National Boxing Association today to defend their titles against "legitimate contenders" s soon as possible. Green did not mention wel terweight title holder Freddie (Red) Cochrane of Summit, N.J., by name, but it was regarded significant that his announce ment came shortly after Coch rane'! second knockout defeat In New York by Rocky Grazl no In non-title competition. "With many fighting men re turning to ring wars from the battlefronts It Is time boxing leaden take steps to provide a firm foundation for the bonanza that Is Just around the corner," Greene said.

Aug. 28, 1945 TO New York, Aug. 28 (U.R) When the story of the 1045 base ball season is written, the sad case of Bill Voiselle and the con sequent collapse of the Giants as pennant contenders will be a major part of the script. What happened to Voiselle, the big likable hurler from Ninety Six, S. C, Is one of base ball's biggest mysteries and patient sleuthing by Manager I Mel Ott hasn't provided even a first class clue. Stops Phils Ever hopeful, Ott must wond er today If Volsclle's brilliant 4 to 0, three-hit shutout last night over the Phils at Philadelphia may not be the turning point. Discounting that he beat the tall-endors, It must be empha sized that his pitching had all the fire and diversity and the curves and cunning that made him a 1044 star. The Giants also won the second game, 6 to 2. The three hits he allowed last night were all singles. He walked only two batters and struck out five. Rookie Sal Maglle, up less than two weeks from Jersey City, made It a big night for the Giants by winning the second game. It was his third victory against one loss.

Olivera Gets Draw With Luis Castillo San Francisco, Aug. 28 (U.R) Tony Olivera, Snn Francisco; fought a vigorous 15-round draw last night with Luis Castillo, Mexico City, to retain his state bantam-weight championship. The decision was noisily booed by the crowd. The United Press score sheet showed four rounds for Olivera, five for Cas tillo and the rest even. Castillo was the aggressor throughout, rocking Olivera with rights and lefts to tho stom ach and sending him to the can vas for a nine count In the third.

Before leaving with the Cubs for tonight's game at Pittsburgh, Manager Charlie Grimm said last night that Capt. Phil Cavar retta would shift from first base to Nicholson's right field spot and that Heinz Becker would take over first base. Grimm said he planned to give his big slugger a rest for a couplo of days in the hope that Nicholson might regain his hit ting eye In time for the Cubs' crucial four-game series at St. Louis this week-end. Nicholson, now hitting a meager .253, led the National league In both runs and runs-batted-in in 1S43 and 1944. De spite his slump the husky Mary land farmer has played every inning this season. lie has driven in 75 runs and hit 10 homers in 117 games this year. Last season he smashed out 33 home runs and netted 122 runs-batted-in.
