PAGE EIGHT "No Strings Attached" to Output of Shotgun Shells WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (if) The war production board was reported today ready to allocate enough materials for the manu facture of 100,000,000 shotgun shells for hunting this fall one-sixth of the output in peace time years. The disclosure was made by the office of Senator Bushfield (R-S.D.) which said WPB officials had agreed to the program after it was explained that game birds were causing great damage to crops. WPB authorities sometime ago said there would be "some am- Lee Savold Chilis Nova In Second CHICAGO. Aug. 10 (IP) Lee Savold, continuing his spectac ular string of fight successes in Chicago by making Lou Nova his fourth consecutive knockout vic tim, may be matched against New York's Tami Mauriello in another outdoor show here next month. A bout between these two heavyweights was in the air to day after the Paterson, N. J., slugger thrilled a crowd of 12, 653 paid customers at Wrigley field last night by chilling Nova in 1 minute and 40 seconds of the second round of their sched uled 10. Recipts amounted to $45,959. Giving up 91 pounds to his opponent, the 192-pound Savold caught the Van Nuys, Calif., giant with a right to the heart after planting a left hook high on his jaw. 'Nova curled up on the canvas for the count. It was Savold's second knockout vic tory over the Yogi-man. Move Bobby Merritt, denied a license. Belmont park In happier days August 10, 1943 munition" for hunting but em phasized at that time it would be held to a minimum. Later, it was said in some quarters, a hunter would have to show that he was eliminating pests and thus giving the farmer a break before he could get shells. The Bushfield announcement indicated that the release of the ammunition would be without such strings attached, however. No shotgun shells were manu factured for hunters last year. About 3,000,000 were allocated m special cases out of stocks on hand to supplement those held over by hunters from the 1941 season. The plan was said to provide for allocation of shells to the 48 states primarily on information supplied by the federal fish and wildlife service on the estimated game population. Dick Lajeskie Pockets Bonus For Signing PASSAIC, N. J., Aug. 10 (If) Handsome Dick Lajeskie, Pas saic high school junior who got himself quite a reputation in New Jersey as a basketball player, pockets a $10,000 bonus for signing a contract to play baseball for the New York Giants. The husky, 17-year-old short stop said he would go to New York today to put his signature on a contract that also will bring him $400 a month as long as he stays with the National League club. "It all seems like a .dream," said the son of Charlie Lajeskie, one-time first .baseman for the Boston Braves. "They're only human," he re plied when asked how he thought he d make out in Major league competition. "I'll give the Giants everything I've got."

' When in Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and Anne Earley , Proprietors Fox, Byrne Top Ladies' Golf Field Betty Jameson, Mrs. Mann Out of Western Amateur; Two Newcomers Lead Meat By DAVE HOFF EVANSTON, 111., Aug. 10 (IPS When they heard neither Betty Jameson, the 1943 champion, nor Mrs. Russell Mann, the 1942 runncrup, would return for this year's women's western amateur golf tournament, the various dark horses of other years might have been excused for whisper ing individually: "This may be MY year." But no, along came two new comers to this season's women's western competition, Catherine Fox of Glen Ridge, N. J., and Kay Byrne of Rye, N. Y to dom inate the field completely in yes terday's qualifying round, and assume the favorites' roles in the two match-play brackets. So the pleasant young Misses like Jeanne Cline. Dorothy Fos ter, Mary Agnes Wall, Marjorie Row, Georgia Tainter, Sally Sessions, and all the others be gan today's session of the five match-play periods in underdog roles again, hoping fervently for an upset here and there to pro vide their long-sought break. The real threat among the 30 girls who trailed the Misses Byrne and Fox they had two-under-par 74's to tic for medal honors may be Dorothy Ger main of Philadelphia. Miss Germain had a 78 yes terday, and if her putter had been as effective as her awesome driver,-she might have tasted a bit of sub-par golf, too. As it was, she shared runner up honors with Marjorie Lind say, the new Illinois state cham pion from Decatur, and Claire Doran of Cleveland. O. Betty Jean Ruckcr of Spo kane, Wash., was up among the leaders, with a 79. Stan Musial, Luke Appling Pace Batters NEW YORK, Aug. 10 (IP) Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals and Luke Appling of the Chicago White Sox still are pacing the batters in the Major leagues, but the batting averages today told a story of greater in terest. Joe Medwick, the once-great clouter of the Cardinals who was batting .272 when the Brooklyn Dodgers sold him to the New York Giants about three weeks ago, now has boosted his average to .304 and is tied for eighth place among the National league hitters. Thus ' Medwick already has proved that the Dodgers let him go while he still had consider able punch left in his bat and has enhanced his chances of fin ishing the season with a .300 average, a mark he never has failed to reach in 11 years in the big league. Musial added five points to his average during the week, raising it to .345, and took a command ing lead over all rivals for this year's batting championship in the senior circuit. Appling, the veteran White Sox shortstop, moved to within seven blows of his 2000th hit and bolstered his batting pace to .333, a lift of two points, to continue at the top of the American league.

The baseball standings today show tho St. Louis Cardinals In front of National league by 13 games and the New York Yankees on top of the Ameri can lcaguo by nine. Practically everyone Is taking for granted that the pennant races already are over and In tho absence of any proof to the con trary this seems to be a fair as sumption. But It was Just about this timo last year that the Cardinals began their amazing drive to overhaul the Brooklyn Dodgers and go on to beat the Yankees In the world series. On this date a year ago tho Redblrds were nine games back In second place, but starting on August 11 they won 11 of their next 12 games and never let up the pressure. In the National league this year the Dodgers, of course, al ready are out of the running and neither the second place Pitts burgh Pirates nor the third-place Cincinnati Reds are manned strong enough for a sustained drive even if the Cardinals should crack which would be the biggest miracle of all. Tho distance between first and second In the American league is not so great and tho Washington Senators have surged back Into second place by whining nine of 11 games. Chi cago, Detroit and Cleveland all nre closer to the Yanks than the second place Pirates are to the Cardinals. Opportunity will be knocking for the last time as the teams embark on another Intersection al series this week, starting with a pair of games In the American league New York at St. Louis today and Boston at Chicago to night. All clubs were Idle yesterday.
