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.

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.
Browns Win Fifth

lingsworth In a relief chore

" ?B 24 showed
their mettle by coming from be
hind to score three runs In the
seventh after Chicago had gone
in front with a six run rally In
its half of the Inning. The vic
tory put St. Louis two and a half
games behind the second place
Senntors.
There were nrf other major
league games scheduled.
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.

TO GET
CHANCE TO FORI
T
Frankfurt, Aug. 28 (U.R)
Germans in the American-occupied
zone of the Reich will get
every chance to develop their
own democratic way of life.
Donald R. Heath, director of

ernment officers yesterday to
support any German civilian
political activity in the future
designed to establish a democrat
ic governmental system.
Heath, addressing a three-day
military government meeting at
American force headquarters,

this decision (The Potsdam
agreement to encourage political
activity) lies in its connection
with a hope fantastic of not
that a German political system
may be established which will
be democratic in character and 1
lasting In effect."
Heath warned, however, that
Germany was still a menace to
world security and njust be
watched carefully.

Nicholson Benched
By Cubs in Effort
To Recover Hitting
Chicago, "Aug. 28 U.PJ Out
fielder Bill Nicholson of the
league-leading Cubs, for two
years the National league's most
feared hitter, was benched to
day for the first time since 1942.
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.

FOR SAN DIEGO;
(By United Press)
The Portland Beavers, ap
parently a cinch to win the Pa
cific Coast league pennant, will
open a series with the alternate
ly hot and cold San Diego
Padres Tuesday, while beauie.
In second place by 3V4 games,
goes to Sacramento to engage
the third-place Solons.
The San Francisco Seals, cur
rently in fourth spot, will meet
Los Angeles on the Angel's home
field, prepared to send their
pitching ace, Bob Joyce, to the
mound twice during the series
if the going gets rough. Joyce
has 28 victories under his belt,
and his eye is on 35 games won.
Hollywood goes to Oakland to
play the Acorns, who have
threatened on several occasions
to break out of fifth place Into
the first division, but who now
are six games away from fourth
place.
The Seattle-Sacramento con
tests should be worthy of as
much attention as any. as the
Rainiers turn on the heat in a
final effort to knock Portland
out of first place in the 31 games
remaining this season.
