One reason wily imijur league
liusebull is determined tu tie
velup a brand new program lor
postwar expansion is nut Infu
sion ol now unci dynamic blood
In the ownership of live clubs
since the war began. , . . Young
bob Carpenter hasn't had miicn
to say since ho bought the Phil
lies because he's been In the
army, but the addition of Urmirli
Rickey and Larry MacPliall to
the list of club owners more
than makes up for Ills silence.
. . , The Braves new owners, Lou
Perlnl, Guldo Hugo nncl Joe
Mnney have been active in
league affairs and Richard
Muckrrmxn may become moro
active since he has control of the
Browns. . . , Then, too, Prcxy
Horace Slonehum has nssumed
a more Important role with the
Giants tn the past couple of
years and there- have been recur
rent rumors that still another
club, the While Sox, may change
hands. . . . Tho old guard hardly
can run things Its own way now.
CLIPPING FROM BEHIND?
Jack Hulme, veteran Penn
state athletic trainer, cuts hair
on the side (also the ton and
shaft the ears). . . . Ills only cus
tomers are members of the foot
ball squad who probably have
been clipped often enough that
thev don't mind a few extra
nicks.
The new NCAA official rub
ber football tee, designed (or
use on klckoffs, also comes In
very handy as a paperweight,
. . , Leo Durocher collected his
second $S000 bonus when the
Dodgers' home attendance hit
the 800,000 mark and he likely
will gel two more for 000,000
and a million. . . , Two of the
first 22 books picked by Lt. Col.
Hay Trautman for the bowlers'
victory legion to send to soldlors
overseas were Frank Menkc's
"Cyclopedia" of sports and Frank
Grahams "The Brooklyn Dodg'
ers." The one that sounds best to
civilians (If used) Is "200 Dishes
lor Men to Cook. . . . Army
and Illinois, two of this year's
top track colleges, have sched
uled a dual meet for next spring.
. . . When Mickey O'Neill re-

Cubs, 2-1;
Cards Gain
Bruins, Tigors Face High
Hurdle In Pennant Drives;
Returning Servicemen Eyed
By JACK HAND
Associated Prots Sports Writer
Chicago and Detroit tako dead
aim on a slice of world series
dough today as the two league
leaders enter important series
with the 1045 fall classic virtual
ly assured by the Jap surrender.
Although there is little doubt
now thai a series will be played,
both the Cubs and Tigers face
higli hurdles in their flag drives.
Among the unpredictable factors
is the amount of help to be ex
pected from returning service
men. Exact details of the army and
navy plans for releasing veterans
nave yet to ne announced nut
it is assumed baseball will re
ceive its share of former players
in the certain cutbacks.
Vets Return Factor
Just as the return of Hank
Greenberg to Detroit and Buddy
Lewis to Washington have been
vital factors in the American
league chase, the discharge of a
Bobby Feller, a .loo DiMaggio
or a Joe Cordon could upset the
appiccari.
The Cubs may face some real
trouble in Brooklyn where the
St. Louie Cardinals just took
three out of four In a bitterly
fought series. After dropping
the finale in Philadelphia last
night, 2-1. Four gmvie with the
Brooks while the Cards aro en
gaging the Phils four times may
toll the story whether Chicago
Is going to walk In or have to
fight it out down to the wire.

World Series, Football Bowl
Games Considered Sure Thing
By MURRAY ROSE
NEW YORK, Aug. 15 Wi
Baseball and racing ara plan
nlng to go full blast today on
America's first peaceful day in
nearly four years with Japan's
surrender ushering in a new
sports era that Is expected to
make the "golden twenties"
look tarnished in comparison.
Racing and baseball mag
nates had planned to close
down their plants if President
Truman asked the people to
observe a day of prayer. But
the president proclaimed Wed
nesday and Thursday as legal
holidays and since both sports
normally operate on holidays
the officials decided to carry
on as usual.
Baseball leader met In
Washington today to discuss
Judd, the Boston Red Sox cast
off, enabled the Phils to down
Chicago. Ray Prim's four-hitter
resulted only In his fifth setback.
Cards Gain Game
St. Louis picked up a full game
on Charley (The Banjo) Grimm
and his hippy gang but had to
go right down to the final out
to trim Brooklyn, 2-1, on Whitey
Kurowski':- ninth inning round
tripper. Red - Bird Harry
Brcchcen and Ralph Branca of
the Brooks pitched in and out
of trouble all afternoon because
of wildness although the Cards
had only three hits and the
Dodgers but five.
Pittsburgh snapped out of it
to beat Boston in both ends of
a doublcheader, 7-5 and 6-2 be
hind Fritz Oslermueller and
Walter Beck. It was a third
straight success for Oslermueller
since his army discharge and a
third in a row for Beck since
he was picked up from Cincin
nati. Salvatore Maglie, a rookie
righthander, broke into the big
show the right way by hurling

developments and it was be
lieved that Col. J. Monroe
Johnson, director of the office
of defense transportation,
would hand them the good
news that the world series
could be played this October.
The ODT chieftain indicat
ed last night there would be
glad tidings regarding the
world series, football and
other fall events by saying
"there is a possibility of those
things being arranged." He
added that he probably would
make the statement of the tra
vel situation today.
Football's post-season bowl
games were considered to be a
cinch but racing leaders were
hoping that the restrictions on
movement of horses by com
mon carriers would be lifted
the New York Giant to a 5-2
victory over Cincinnati.
Nats Bow to Browns
Rain washed out the Detroit
New York game in the first in
ning but the Tigers, gained
ground because Washington
bowed to St. Louis. 5-4. The
Senators are now 3 s lengths back
of the Bengals as they unpack
their bags for a four-day stay at
Briggs stadium.
Jim Bagby of Cleveland shut
out Boston. 3-0, with three hits
with the help of four masters
by Mickey Rocco and Dutch
Meyer. The Indians lost the
services of Manager Lou Bou
drea for an indefinite period
when he suffered a possible
ankle fracture in a spill with
DolDh Camilli at second base,
The PhiladelDhia at Chicago
contest was postponed because of
wet grounds.

ODT Eyes Travel Ban
At the same time, tho office
of defense transportation is ex
pected to figure out ways of re
laxing travel restrictions affect
ing tne 1945 world series, pro
fessional football, horse racing
and post-season college football
games.
Five minutes after the news of
Japan's capitulation last night,
