their fourth consecutive Nation
nl lpn2tif nnnnant.
Manager Billy Southworth be
lieves his Cards must sweep tne
two-game scries from the Cubs
if St. Louis fans are to see a
world series next week. If the
cocky, swaggering Cardinals

BILLY CONN WILL
BE BACK IN HI
MM 30 DAYS
New York, Sept. 25 -iU.R)
Corp. Billy Conn steps ou t of
khaki today to start up the long
road back toward a four-year
date with destiny.
Pittsburgh Billy gets his dis
charge papers at Camp Lee, Va.,
and announced that within a
month he would be back in the
ring waiting anxiously for the
discharge of a certain other sol
dier. That, of course, would be
Sgt. Joe Louis, who is expected
to be returned to civilian life
soon.
Has More Weight
But the Conn who is waiting
for Sgt. Joe is a different one
than the slim, rapier-like young
ster who came so close to lifting
the world's heavyweight crown
back in 1041. This Conn has
more weight to power his
punches, and a bit more savvy
than the impetuous Irish kid who
tried to turn Celtic clouter when
a three-round waltz would have
made 'him king of the boxing
world.
There are a lot of heavy
weights waiting around for Billy
the Kid to go back into action.
He and Joe will start another
bum-of-the-month club as they
tune up for a summer bout which
will bring back the million dol
lar gates.
Meanwhile, It should be possi
ble to Judge how much time has
changed them, for Louis now is
a slowing 31 and Conn is a heav
ier 28. He weighed a padded 174
the last time, 25 V4 pounds less
than Louis, and now tips the
beam at a pretty well-conditioned
190 against Joe's 205.
CRATERS GET DINNER

Chicago, Sept. 25 (U.R
Coach Clark Shaugnessy of the
University of Pittsburgh won

"Frankenstein" when he mod

America's favorite football for

Now in his third year at Pitts

setbacks were administered by
teams using the "T".
Shaugnessy now bemoans the
fact that when he pertectea

"Not designing a defense was
really a mistake," Shaugnessy
smiled after the Illinois game

Chungking, Sept. 25 (U.R)
The Office of Strategic Services
disclosed today that its teams,
operating with Chinese guerillas
behind enemy lines, inflicted
12,000 casualties on Japanese
forces during 1945.
Under command of Col. Rich
ard D. Hcppner, Jr., a pre-war
New York lawyer, heavily-arnv
ed OSS teams parachuted into
Japanese-held territory and car
ried out a series of surprise at
tacks against enemy communica
tions, convoys, and military ad
ministrative centers.
Typical OSS teams carried
mortars, bazookas, automatic
weapons and demolitions.
One of the chief targets of
OSS teams was a three mile
long railway bridge across the
Yellow river at Chengchow. A
six man OSS squad blew up the
bridge while a Japanese troop
train was crossing, inflicting
almost 1,000 casualties.

Manufacturers Of
DDT Insecticides
Face Crack-Down
Washington, Sept. 25 (U.PJ
The government is preparing to
crack down on manufacturers
who are cashing in on the magic
name of DDT with so-called
"DDT insecticides" that are
really of little or no value as
bug-killers.
Government scientists empha
sized that DDT actually is as
potent as its reputation indi
cates. But the trouble with
many "DDT" products now on
the market, they said, is that
they have as little as 1100 of
one per cent DDT.
Most effective solutions, the
Agriculture department said,
contain at least five per cent.
