in Carlisle Gymnasium. Brilliantly smiling, "graciously acceding to applause petitioning encore after encore, Miss Sayao literally stormed the house. The singer's fluid voice, clear and bell-like, soared again and again in a gamut of songs from the tender love words of popular melodies to the classic arias of such well known operas as Verdi's "Rigoletto." Miss Sayao was entirely unpretentious in her stage presence. Her delivery was effortless and her most sustained efforts were facile.

The sheriff quoted the boys as saying they took the bicycle Tuesday afternoon from the parking lot opposite the High School.

They took it south of the city to a wooded area and took it apart, the sheriff said the boys admitted. A Santa Fe Railroad officer saw and apprehended them and deputies found most of the parts of the machine, the sheriff said. He said the bicycle's owner was not known. in Schlitz. One reason leer is its freedom from Trolley Rails Seen As Scrap Source Tingley to Consider Digging Them Up Typical of the thoroughness with which Bernalillo County's scrap collection will be conducted was the announcement Tuesday by Clyde Tingley, City Commission chairman and the general in charge of the drive, that he would investigate the feasibility of digging up the rails of the city's dismantled trolley system.

"There are only two blocks of the rails which were not removed," Tingley said. "These are on Tijeras between First and Second Streets, and on Coal between Second and Third. May Be Almost 11 Tons "The rails are set in cement or brick paving and are covered with asphalt, but I'm going to see about getting them out," Tingley declared. He ventured the belief that removing the rails would "cost the city some money" but added that "It isn't a question of cost. The country must have every bit of available scrap." Tingley said he was not certain how much scrap the rails would represent, hut it was believed they might total close to 11 tons.

School Children to Help The figure was determined by figuring 600 feet of rail in each block that is, two rails each 300 feet long. For two blocks, the total would be 1200 feet. Street car rail was said to weigh about 18 pounds a foot, at which weight the total would 21,600 pounds. Tingley said he would ask school children to volunteer to help in the drive, which will open Oct. 17 in the sector east of the tracks and south of Central Avenue and continue the three following Saturdays in three remaining parts of the county, BREAKS ARM Mrs.

Mates Forget to Give Interference Harvey Johnson, the swivel-hipped ex-Mississippi State half- back who joined the Air Base Flying Kellys football squad Monday, went through his first scrimmages Tuesday and be- neve or noi ne lurnea oui xo, i t- A. 1 -ne turned out xo good to be effec-jl be almost too tive. In the first string backfield, lined up against the scrubs, Johnson sliced through tacklers like a hot knife through butter the first couple of times he carried the ball. Didn't Get Interference Then he began to slow down.

Capt. Ted Shipkey quickly put his finger on the trouble, though. Johnson's teammates were so busy watching in open-mouthed admiration, they forgot to give him any interference. An unusually large crowd of spectators turned out to watch the Kellys run through their first scrimmage since their bruising 12-0 victory over the Lubbock Flyers last Saturday night. Capt.

Shipkey used a large part of his drills to develop defenses against the West Texas State Buffaloes who will meet the Kellys at Amarillo Friday night. Go Against Ruffs' Plays Lieut. Ted Wright, assistant to Capt. Shipkey who scouted the West Texas State-Texas Tech game two weeks ago, put the reserves throueh the Buffaloes' single wingback formations against the Kellys first string The injury jinx bobbed up during the srrimmagt to bench Troy "Cotton" Gann and Roy Anderson. Gann, who suffered a banged up knee, will probably be able to go against the Buffaloes, but Anderson's leg injury may keep him out of the game.

P. Vidal, state war savings staff administrator, announced Tuesday. "I'm singling the workers of these two firms out for mention," Vidal said, "because so many people seem to doubt other workers are In the 10 per cent class.

As a matter of fact, hundreds of New Mexicans are putting at least that proportion of their wages into bonds." Vidal added that 102 employes 'of the general office of the State Highway Department at Santa Fe have pledged 10.7 per cent of their salaries for bonds, while 14 employes of the Highway Depart ment Deming district are paying 14.6 ner cent for hnnri. nj ond rurctiases By Engineer Employes Show Gain Last Month War Bond Purchases by civilian employes of the Albuquerque District of the Corps of Engineers, through salary deduction, for September, was set Tuesday at $19,915.50. Despite a decrease in personnel, it was pointed out, sales have increased steadily each month. For September, 1572 persons, representing a 61 per cent, participated in purchases. Of 750 employes in Albuquerque, 83 per cent participated.

Co-Eds Raise $230 In Stamps, Bonds Sale The War Stamps and Bonds sale in the lobby of the Student Union Building at the university Tuesday netted $230. The sale was conducted by the Associated Woman Students with Frances Vidal in charge. A large picture of Hitler wan painted by Barbara Kinsky and a chance to "black out Hitler's mug" was given each purchaser of stamp corsages and bonds, Ac cording to Miss Vidal, Hitler's "mug" was completely obliterated. The co-eds will hold a drive each month to do their part in the war effort.

Sales at Ciovis Bond Auction Total $30,005 War Bonds sales totaling $30,. 005 were marked up Monday night at an auction in Ciovis, S. P. Vidal, state war saving staff administrator, announced Tuesday. In charge of the auction was Maj.

Victor Grant, Denver, author and lecturer and chairman of the speakers' bureau of the Colorado war savings staff, 1 baseball fans jammed in and Johnny Hopp, first baseman, was the first and he was swarmed on by so many noisy worshippers that the other players paused to look around before risking it. A tremendous burst of applause greeted Young Johnny Beazley, who pitched the Cards to their first and last victories. Wiping confetti from his mouth, he said: "I'd rather face the Yankees than this crowd." Several other players voiced similar opinions but all were pj-viously overjoyed at the gigantic reception. On hand to greet the players were Gov. Forrest C.

Donnell and Mayor William Dee Becker, who' read a telegram of congratula-J tions from Mayor LaGuardia of New York. In line with the recent transportation order, the team did not travel from New York in special raiload cars as is customary. Instead each player rode on an individual ticket, anywhere he could find a seat. Archers' Meeting Called for Tonight Discuss Rules for Special Deer Season A general meeting of all persons interested in archery will be held at 8:30 p. m.

Wednesday at the Barelas Community Center, Leon Mudgett, president of the New Mexico Field Archers' announced Tuesday.

Apprentices, 57th To Tangle Tonight In Softball Windup The Santa Fe Apprentices and 55th School Squadron, winners in Tuesday night's softball games, will tangle for the championship at Tingley Field Wednesday in a windup of the season. The 57th overwhelmed the 55th squadron 12-2, largely on the strength of Jones' four-hit twirling, while the Apprentices were having a tough time setting the 384th Squadron down 8-7. The Apprentices were behind 5-1 going into the last half of the third, but scored in all but the sixth inning thereafter to clinch the game. In a Sunday night game the Third Air Base squadron defeated the Medicos 6-0. Oklahoma Aggies Drill For Tech, Arizona Tilts STILLWATER, Oct.

fi iP)A long scrimmage designed to flank Texas Tech's speed occupied the Oklahoma Aggies Tuesday as they worked out for a stiff 12-day invasion of the southwest, From Lubbock, where they will meet Tech's Raiders, they will go to Tucson for the annual clash with Arizona. Coach Lookabaugh probably will take 33 reserves on the jaunt, he said. Texas League Sends 27 Players to Majors DALLAS, Oct. 6 () The Tex-as League sent 27 players to the Majors from this season's crop through sales and recalls with prospects of a number of others going up in the baseball draft, Secretary Milton Price said Tuesday. The draft does not open un til December.

Beaumont heads the list with 13, all going to Detroit that thiv marie the 1942 World Series a classic that never will be forgotten. Marines Will Like Him Johnny Beazley, 23-year-old rookie righthander from Nashville, is planning to enlist In the Marines, and it isn't taking much for granted to say that the Marines will be glad to get him. He is rangy and strong and he proved his coolness under fire by the way that he subdued the Yankees twice in the series. In the second game at St. Louis he was pelted for 10 hits and Monday, in nailing down the final victory, 4 to 2, he was tagged for seven and he came upon difficult moments in both games.

But he worked out of jams under his own power in every ease. Whitey Kurowski, whose two-run homer in the ninth inning supplied the winning runs Monday, is another Cardinal rookie who may have been playing not only his first but his last series for some time. The Reading, youth is married and the father of few-months-old baby, but his draft classification is IB. His right arm it short because about three Inches of bone were removed after a childhood injury, but the Army now is accepting some men previously deferred for physical reasons. Moore To Enlist Too Terry Moore, the Cardinal captain and great centerfielder, has been in 3A because of dependents, but Is not married and expects to enlist.

Buddy Hassett, first baseman of the Yanks, is in the same situation as Moore. Pitcher Red Ruffing, 38-year-old veteran who worked the first and last games of the series, is married but has no children. Some of the other Yankees who have one, or even two, children have talked of enlisting. One of these is Joe (Flash) Gordon, the star of the 1941 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers and the goat of the 1942 loss to the Redbirds. The Cardinals, at least, will have glistening memories to take with them.

This was the first since 1915 that a team had lost the first game and then retound-ed to win the next four in a nw. The Boston Red Sox did it against the Philadelphia Phils that year. The Cardinals were not highly thought of by the Yankees right up till the final game, and mavbe the ex-world champions still don rate the Redbirds a great ball club, but they proved them selves a team that simply would not be beaten. They finished every game, even the one they lost, with a greater show of strength than at the start. In five games the Cords totaled 12 runs during the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.

Maybe that was the tipoff on the Cards whether they were winning or losing they kept scoring in every game right up till the gong rang. Vagrancy Wins Ladies Handicap at Belmont NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (-William Woodward's Vagrancy, generally recognized as the queen of the three-year-old fillies and mares, added to her reputation at Belmont Tuesday by giving weight and a beating to nine rivals in the 72nd running of the Ladies Handicap.
