"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-

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.

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.

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

The husky, 17-year-old short
stop said he would go to New

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,

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

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

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

Doran of Cleveland. O.
Betty Jean Ruckcr of Spo

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 major leagues need
mlracla team now Just like a
buggy noeda a horse.
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

today and Boston at Chicago to
night.
