CAMP ATTERBURY Ind, Sept,
13—W—There are rumors going
around the federalized 28th Division
of the Pennsylvania National Guard
that Pfc Curt Simmons will be re
leased to pitch in the world series
if the Philadelphia Phillies win the

Simmons’ commanding officer,
Capt. Howard Emhardt of the head
quarters battery for the division's
artillery, wouldn't object to letting
the star left hander pitch.
"But I’m mum on that subject,”
he said. "But I'm certainly not going
to object if they want to send him
over there.”
There was no comment from head
quarters.

INDIANS
WALLOP
YANKEES
(By Associated Press)
With big Luke Easter as the ring
leader, the smarting Cleveland In
dians are moving back into the Am
erican League pennant race in the
roll of “spoilers.”
Knocked out of contention and
blasted by their bosses, the Indians
are out to redeem themselves at the
expense of the three remaining con
tenders—Boston, New York and De
troit.
They began to reap revenge last
I night by defeating the New York
| Yankees, 8-7, on a three-run homer
! by Easter in the ninth inning.
The defeat sent the Yankees into
second place, a half game back of
i the Detroit Tigers who scored a 3-2
j afternoon triumph over the Wash
ington Senators.
Cleveland has one more game with
the Yanks, six with the Tigers and
■two with the third place Boston Red
Sox. The Red Sox, still moving re
[ lentlessly forward, climbed within a
! game of the lead by edging the Chi
icago White Sox, 2-1.
) Home runs in the first two innings
by Joe DcMaggio, Phil Rizzuto and
Yogi Berra shot the Yanks off to
6-0 lead in a rain-soaked game.
Early Wynn was the victim of the
Yankee bombardment but after that
| the world champions were effectiv
. ely checked by Dick Weik, sad Sam
I Zoldak and Steve Gromek.
| Homers by Larry Doby and Easter
| shaved the deficit to 6-4 by the
■ fifth.
Allie Reynolds, who had allowed
only four hits, blew up in the ninth
and walked two batters. He was hur
riedly lifted for Tom Ferrick. Bob
Kennedy greeted Ferrick with a run
scoring double. Doby struck out but
Easter then slammed Ferrick's first
pitch over the rightfield fence to
break up the game.
Tigers Squash Senators
The Tigers had rough sledding be
fore squashing the Senators. Old
Diz Trout went all the way for the
Bengals and permitted eight hits
while his mates collected only five
off Gene Bearden and Mickey Har
ris.
Lefty Mel Parnell turned in a
neat five hitter in recording his 16th
victory and eighth straight for the
Red Sox under the lights in Chicago.
The Sox now have won 24 out of
their last 27 games.
All of the scoring took place in
the first two innings.
The St. Louis Browns, behind the
three-hit pitching of Al Widmar,
blanked the Philadelphia Athletics,
6-0.
National League
In the National League the Phila
delphia Phillies moved a step closer
towards the pennant by nosing out
the St. Louis Cardinals, 1-0, behind
the five-hit pitching of Robin Rob
erts ,who attained his 19th victory.
The Cards’ Max Lanier and Al
Brazle surrendered only three hits
but one was a fifth inning homer
by Andy Seminick who celebrated
'his 30th birthday.
The victory kept the Phils 6Vi
games ahead of the runner-up
Brooklyn Dodgers who collected only
one hit in beating Ewell Blackwell
and the Cincinnati Reds, 3-1.
Blackwell lost the game in the
eighth inning when he hit a batter,
committed an error and wild pitched
home a run that broke a 1-1 tie.
The third run scored on an infield
out*. Gene Hermanski singled in the
fourth for the lone Brooklyn hit.
The New York Giants” Sheldon
Jones blanked the Pittsburgh Pi
' rates, 3-0.
The Giants moved to within a half
game of the third place Boston
Braves who dropped a 3-1 night
game decision to Bobo Rush and
the Chicago Cubs.

tory of Ala.sk. He also declared him- I
self In favor of Alaskan statehood, j
Checking on Feltus \
Then he asked Gruening whether
he had checked up on associate'
of Feltus before employing him.
Gruening said he had not. because
he considered Feltus a one-man firm
public relations firm.
Schoeppel asked if Gruening knew
that one of Feltus’ associates, Rob
ert T. Miller, had been classified as
a security risk.
Gruening said he never heard ol
Miller. He added that he regards
Feltus as a good loyal American.
Atwood Testifies
Robert Atwood of Anchorage, head
of the Alaskan Statehood Commit
tee, defended the hiring of Feltus
He also said the committee never
had heard that Feltus once had
worked for the Polish government
He said the group hired Feltus t<
promote the statehood drive be
cause the salmon fishing industry
and other opponents of statehood
were spending large sums to defeat
the statehood bill. He said oppon
ents of statehood enjoy relatively
low taxes in the Territory, and fem
statehood would boost their tax
rates.
Salmon Lobby
"The salmon lobby,” Atwood testi
fied, "up until, say the last session
has been more or less successful
in keeping the (Alaskan) legislatur
under its thumb."
Delegate Farrington, representing
Hawaii in Congress, filed with the
committee a statement from Sam
uel Wilder King, President of the
Hawaii Constitutional Convention
accusing Schoeppel of "great injus
tice” to that body.
The message accused Schoeppel
of “misrepresenting the situation
completely” by alleging Communist
infiltration into the Constitutional
Convention.
The committee also received docu
ments intended to answer a question
Schoeppel had raised as to whether
Reclamation Commissioner Straus |
failed to sign a loyalty affidavit in ;
1945 when he was sworn into office. J
Straus is to testify tomorrow. j
