Downpour Resets New
York, Boston Games
Heavy Load on Leaders
By the Associated Press
The weatherman, usually an im
partial fellow, appear; to have
ranged himself alongside the front
running Cleveland Indians in the
three-team fight for the American
League pennant.
Rain, washing out yesterday’s
doubleheader between New York and
Boston, must have brought cheer
and comfort to the Tribe. II forced
rescheduling of the Yankee-Red
Sox games for the final, vital days
of the flag race and placed a heavy
burden on New York and Boston.
Scheduled games between the
’ Dodgers and Phillies, Giant ; and
Braves, and Senators and Athletics,
also were rained out. The Indians
and Detroit Tigers had an off day.
The Yankee-Red Sox games had
to bo fitted into the schedule as
parts ef doubleheaders on Friday,
Sept. 28. and Saturday, Sept. 2!>.
The season ends with s single
game on Sunday, Sept. 30. No
other dates at Yankee Stadium
were available.
This means the Yankees and Red
Sox will clash five times In the
last three days and eight times in
the last 10.
Packed run
Whereas Boston must cram 11
games into the final 10 days, and
New York nine, Cleveland play
only six — five with Detroit and one
with the Chicago White Sox. The
four off days should provide pitchers
Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Early Wynn
and Mike Garcia with plenty of
rest.
The scheduling of those double
headers so late in the season may
force an unprecedented post-sea
son playoff of rained out games.
T'nder a new rule, adopted by the
American League last winter, two
days are set aside after the regu
lar season for the purpose of play
ing eff postponed games that have
a direct bearing on the pennant
race.
In the only games played yester
day. the St. Louis Cardinals
trounced the Chicago Cubs, 10-2
the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated Cin
cinnati, 7-4, and the Chicago White
Sox humbled the St. Louis Browns,
9-4.
Home runs by Stan Musial, hic
32nd. Billy Johnson, Hal Rice and
Red Schoendienst paced the Cards
to victory over Chicago.
The White Sox blasted out 17 hit'
with pitcher Randy Gumpert lead
in" the way with four singles..Min
nie Minoso contributed three doubles
and Ed Robinson his 26th home run
Boston 5mug About
Beiuei Rimed Out
They'll Rest Up
NEW YORK, Sept. 7 — T! — The
New York Yankee-Boston Red Sox
doublt header was drizzled out yes
terday. and if Steve O’Neill and
his Bostonians were a little smug
about, it all it was a natural reac
tion.
They have a total of five game'
scheduled today, tomorrow and Sun
day, and yesterday’s rest couldn’t
do them any harm.
But the main reason is that,
with the two games rescheduled
for the tag-end of the season, the
Sox should be in better shape at
that time than they are right
now.
Vern Stephens probabiv Mil be
back, for one thing. Bobby DoerrV
back, which slips a cog now anti
then, should be improved, or so he
hopes, and other 'athletes with
assorted aches and pains whicl'
have prevented O'Neill from puttin'
a full-strength team on the fielc
for about six weeks should be able
bodied again.

A saiior at the naval training center

general court martial because he
advertised his dislike of the food.
“The chow is good when it i;
brought to the base,” said Bruce
S. Hopping, yeoman third class and
assistant coach of the swimming
team.
“But when it is processed for
meals they do something to it that
makes it not fit to eat. Most of
the plates are full when the men
empty them in the garbage can.
They fear to say anything openly
about it.”
“I only did what everybody el
here was afraid to do.”
Hopping, who sports a 1B51 Cadil

about a foot long, which told Nav;
boots to take their troubles to theii
Congressmen or have th ir parent:
do it for them.
The 30-year-old sailor from
Maplewood, N.J., said lie was put
under base arrest and was toid
yesterday he was being recom

The handbills were found threi
weeks ago on the seats of a hast

Precision teamwork like this makes your U. S. Navy
the mightiest in the world. And keeps it on the job
24 hours a day, ready to defend America—and you!
But remember, defense is your job, too! And one of
the best ways to do your job is to buy U. S. Defense*
Bonds regularly! For by buying bonds you help
maintain the economic strength which stands behind
our armed forces. You’re making America a power
for peace. And you’re also making the soundest per
sonal investment in the world today. For Defense
Bonds are as safe as America!
* * *
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense Bonds
you’re building cash savings. Money that will some day
buy you a house or educate your children, or support you
when you retire. Remember, too, that if you don’t save ^
regularly, you generally don’t save at all. So go to your ,
company’s pay office—now—and sign up to buy Defense
Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better buy than ever.
Because now every Series E Bond you own automatically
goes on earning interest for 20 years from date of pur
chase instead of 10 as before! This means that the bond
you bought for $18.75 can return you not just $25—
but as much as $33.33! A $37.50 bond pays $66.66. And
so on. For your security, and your country’s, too, buy
U. S. Defense Bonds now! 1
*U.S. Savings Bonds are Defense Bonds
Buy them regularly! I
