Sept Stale Open Racine baseball fans, who had their appetite for the national pastime "wetted" July 28 when the Great Lakes Sailors and Falk Corporation team of Milwaukee engaged in boat drill without boats, turned out en masse at Horlick Athletic field Tuesday night to see their home talent Merchant's Delivery team, win a spirited nip and tuck affair from Fort Sheridan Soldiers, 6 to 5. The game ws a benefit for the Fort Sheridan athletic fundand a crowd, estimated at 2,500, and a corking good ball game made the event a huge success. It was anybody's ball game all the way through although for a time it looked as if Tiny Shell, huge Soldier pitcher who tops the scale at more than 250, had things well under control for the Army. Quell Army Chargre. However, in the seventh and eighth frames the Delivery boys delivered two runs in each to set.

up their victory margin. Then Lefty Lehman, Merchant's Delivery Jiurler, quelled an Army charge in the first of the ninth when the Soldiers scored one run and died With the tying and winning runs on the sacks. The Soldiers opened the first half of the first by perpetrating a double 'steal th "first of two attempted, both of which resulted in runs. All toldthe Army boys were larcenous on the bases, taking five during the session. Agamtnenen, Soldiers third sacker, got a walk after one was out in the initial frame, went to second base on the, next put out and to third when Rappazini, shortstop, singled.

Rappazini stole second base and on the throw to second Agamen-nen hit home. beat the. return to the plate. Merchant's Delivery knotted the count in the last half of the first with Miller scoring. Miller singled to left field with two men down and took second base on a wild pitch.

Vic Seitz, Merchant's first dropped a Texas leaguer down the right field foul line and Miller raced home from second to score. Seitz was out in attempting to take second base. He turned his ankle in sliding and it was sprained so badly that he had to leave the game. Homer Inside Park. The Merchants -blanked the Soldiers until the fifth inning, cutting off a run at the plate in the third, and meanwhile in the third took a 2 to 1 lead when fleet Norm Derringer homered with one man out.

Derringer, second baseman, Meanwhile, Lieut. Com. Crowley is riding herd on his squad of navy "Cloudbusters" at Chapel Hill, N. where naval aviation candidates complete 5 their pre-flight training on the campus of the of North Carolina. 1 yV Cloudbusters are booked for a tough 12-game schedule, extending from Sept 26, when they open against Harvard, to Dec.

12. And the only' thing certain about this squad is that Crowley will lose every man now on it before the season closes. He started training yesterday with 3520 less than Walsh had at Fordham. vAs Crowley watched his beys w8rk at Chapel Hill, he said: "Our squad will be completely fluid. We simply take all comers.

(A rare experience indeed for an expert in recruiting). I don't know who will make the team, or how long they'll be with us." It's Lightnin' Now. In Crowley's favor, it can be pointed out that he will not have to worry about the condition of his men. The navy pre-flight cadets spend 12 hours a day going through a rigorous physical conditioning that would make the average college football player's training routine seem like a rest period. From the standpoint of competitive ability, however, Crowley doubtless will be irked by the fact that his men are comparatively small r-since the navy does not accept candidates taller than six feet three inches, or heavier than 200 pounds.

His average player will be smaller and lighter than the average college player. In addition to Harvard, the Cloudbusters' schedule includes his own Fordham, Colgate, Boston college, Syracuse and Georgetown also the navy pre-flight teams of Iowa and Georgia. Before this schedule is completed, virtually 'everyone in naval aviation is confident, that the fans will be calling Lieut Com. James Crowley "Lightnin Jim" instead of "Sleepy Jim."

today to make plans: for the season, By JACK CUDDY -NEW YORK, Aug. 19 0J.R) With the name ot "Sleepy Jim" Crowley providing a connection the 1942 football training season has opened officially for most metropolitan fans by virtue of twin announcements from Chapel Hill, N. and Rose Hill, New York From Rose Hill, campus of the Fordham Rams, came news that Fordham had started training yesterday with new coach, Earl Walsh, with the largest, squad in its gridiron history 55 men and on its earliest date. From Chapel HilL N. came the, information that "Sleepy Jim" Crowley now a lieutenant commander in the navy had blown the opening whistle for conditioning i)f his naval aviation "Cloudbusters." The connection between these two announcements, as- svery football fan will recognize, is that Lieut.

Com. Crowley vacated his Fordham coaching job to help condition naval aviators, and that his assistant Earl Walsh, took over the Fordham post as a staqd-in- while Crowley was in the service. Rams Are Tough. Despite Crowley's absence, the Fordham announcement must be treated with considerable respect, since it comes from the first major college squad in training, and if it may serve as a weather vane indicates that the approaching season will be one of the lustiest in the history of American football. No explanation was given for this earliest Fordham opening, but one might find it in the fact that of the 55 candidates 25 are freshmen, seeking to take advantage of the abolition "of.

the three-year rule during war time. the Rams still have eight first-string members of last year's Sugar Bowl champions on hand. Although there are important gaps to filled because of service inductions and. graduation, it might be said that when Crowley joined the navy he left understudy Walsh with strong possibilities both in the line and backfield. What aid the freshmen can give will be perhaps, in the Rams opening game with Purdue at Lafayette, InL, Sept 26.
