Hazelton BOOK OF THE MONTH rim GARCIA MOVED INTO FOURTH Cuban Out To Repeat Thursday Victory At Biscayne Fronton Ochoa in the fourth has been a by-word at the Biscayne jai-alai fronton for the past few days. The Cuban veteran upset all the handicappers by scoring victories Friday and Saturday, completing $138.20 and $347 doubles.

For the first eight weeks of play, the number one post failed to score a victory in the nightly fourth. This was unusual as the opening serve position is recognized as being a distince advantage. However, last Thursday night Garcia ran seven straight points from the post. Saturday night Ochoa scored from the first post for the second first-position victory in the fourth stanza in thres nights.

Tuesday night, Garcia up first in the fourth should go to the court a favorite but regardless of that, he is given an equal chance to repeat his Thursday victory. I could hear the sound of heavy firing coming from the Jap and see bursts of anti-aircraft shells in the sky. But the bomber had done his job. Now he climbed into the sky and headed home. The Jap was crippled but not stopped.

I le made for the passage that leads to the sea, between Florida and Savo Islands. Oouds of smoke were still rising from the fantail. Back at Col. Hunt's command post, later in the afternoon, I heard that Matanikau and Kokumbona had bee taken. Only a handful of the Jap defenders escaped-(Continued tomorrow) that came back a second time.

And then again, the thwung of the firing, the crash of the exploding shell and grim silence from the Jap machine gun. I decided to return to headquarters. But the excitement of the day was not yet over. As I neared Kukum, I could see one of our B-17 bombers offshore, swooping down on a ship. Bombs dropped, a mushroom of dark brown smoke rose from a point just aft of the rear mast, and a torrent of smoke' followed.

I could see now that it vas a Jap heavy cruiser, and her fan tail was afire. The B-17 had scored a direct hit. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, bush tn I dove into for protection was well populated with ants which crawled up my trouscrlegs, but such annoyances were secondary now. The sniper who had fired at me was still on my track. He had evidently spotted my field glasses and taken me for a regular officer.

I searched the nearby trees, but could see nothing moving. Then a .25 cracked again and I heard the bullet pass. I jumped for better cover behind two trees. Here I began to wish I had a rifle. I should like to find that sniper, thought.

I had made an ignominious retreat. My dignity had been offended. The Matanikau sortie had become a personal matter. It began to rain hard. A Jap 25 machine gun was sputtering again on our right flank and ahead.

But the gun had been spotted by our "point" in that direction. In a few seconds we heard the crash of one of our mortar shells, ranging on the Jap. Then a muttered sentence, passed from mouth to mouth, came back from that area: 'Pass the word back, more to the right on the A few seconds later I heard the "thving" of the mortar firing. "Alore to the right on the mortars," was the word 'Cats Crippled For Tournament LEXINGTON. Feb.

23. (INS) basketball team, seeded No. 1 in S. E. C.

tournament, is worried over its weakened center position where two players are injured and a third called into the armed forces. The team will arrive in Thursday in the worst condition for any tournament In 13 years. Mel Brewer, first-string center, still had his right arm in a sling. Brewer, however, is expected to see at least part time action in the Tulane opener. Ed Lander, second-string pivot man, remained in the hospital with a broken leg suffered in the Tennessee game, and the third-string renter, Carl Altmaus, was ordered to report to the army air corps Wednesday.

The plea that fishing activities be allowed to continue along the Atlantic seaboard has been uttered time and again by the men who are vitally interested in the well-being of the servicemen, the war workers and conservation itself.

(INS) Harrison Holmes, 50-year-old grocer, was held Tuesday in the killing of Morris Solomon, 48, of Sharon, who was shot to death during an argument over rationing.

Authorities quoted Holmes as saying: "Solomon complained about the rationing and then went back to my meat counter and complained about the amount of fat on the meat I was cutting. This went on for about an hour and I finally ordered him out of the store, but he wouldn't go. ''I got my gun and told him. I wasn't kidding; he had to get out. But he just stuck his hands in his pockets and laughed.

Then I told him I would shoot him if he didn't leave, but he wouldn't move." One shot was fired, hitting Solomon in the head. Entries Dade Plants Face Loss Of U. S.

"During the past few months there has been a lot of agitation to suspend various sports and other recreational activities for the duration of the war. "In some cases such suspension has been necessary for the successful prosecution of the war or as conducive to public safety. "In many others, however, such agitation has been instigated by persons who are sincere but uninformed. In still others by persons who like to get their names in the papers and who grasp at the opportunity to be held up as shining patriots. Advocates Misguided "These persons through misguidance or in an effort to attain self -glory subscribe -to the general abandonment of sports and other recreational activities during would be surprised to know that the Axis governments are heartily in accord with their campaigns.

No surer way could be found toward the eventual slowing down of the war effort. "American industrialists who have been accused of many things, but never of not being smart, found out long ago that all work and no play makes Jack not only a dull boy but an inefficient one as well. No one has yet succeeded in making a machine out of a man. After awhile the dull monotony of standing at a bench or on an assembly line day after day and month after month unrelieved by anything more than the necessary time out for eating and sleeping has violent physical and nervous reactions.

"I believe that fishing Is one of the most effective of all sports in re-creating mind and body and I believe that workers should be encouraged to participate in it and that their transportation to the fishing grounds should be facilitated in every way possible. "I don't believe that all workers should lay down their tools and go fishing whenever the fancy moves. I do believe, however, that those who have drained their physical and nervous reserves in a mighty effort to provide material for the fighting fronts should be given every opportunity to recuperate so that they can again take up their highly important work.
