Leroy O.

Pletz (left), a 51 Mustang fighter pilot from Harrisburg, recently destroyed his first enemy aircraft by strafing a Nazi airdrome nearby. He also shared in the destruction of another on the mission. Before leaving the bombers tol strike at the airfield, Lieutenant Pletz' flight of 51 Mustangs was giving low level support 4000 feet below them when the force reached the target area. "We were in a perfect spot to watch the show," the 22 year old flyer declared. "I could see the bomb bay doors swing open and the bombs stream down toward the target below.

They fel right smack on the rail yards." It was then that the enemy air field was sighted and marked for a strafing attack. "We went in low over the tree tops and lined up on rows of parked aircraft," continued Lieutenant Pletz. "I had to pull up over the first plane I hit to get a shot at the one behind it. That second one was a iieinKei bomber." Then with a smile, he added: "That was the first time I ever had a chance to fire my guns.j and it paid off. My flight leader said later that he also hit number one, so we shall claim it together." Lieutenant Pletz is holder of the Air Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, awarded for "meritorious achievement in aerial flight." This flyer's group, combatting the Luftwaffe in more than 350 missions, has scored in excess of 435 victories over enemy aircraft, destroying nearly 175 of these during strafing and dive bombing attacks against Nazi airdromes.

Lieutenant Pletz is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Brook A. Pletz of 2734 Penbrook avenue, Harris burg. He eenlisted in the AAF in September, 1941, and has been serving in the European theatre of operations since September, 1944.

The Penn sylvania Trophy will remain in its place of honor in the Hershey Bears' possession for another year, by right of the Weiland men's 5 to 3 victory over Pittsburgh here last night. The game, played before 5000 fans, not only determined the holder of the State trophy this season, but also had a bearing on Pittsburgh's standing in the sec ond place playoffs of the American Hockey League. As a result of the Chocolatetown club's win the Hornefe failed to gain a necessary two points, thus tieing them with the Indianapolis Caps to oppose Hershey in the semi finals, and also giving the Bears choice of ice for the playoffs.

Two quick goals late in the final period, by Hal Cooper and Bill Gooden, enabled the Bears to defeat the visitors, who put up a stiff battle all the way. It looked for the first ten min utes as if the game would be just an exhibition of ice skating, when all of a sudden the hot line of Cal ladine, Shabaga and Gooden, cut loose. Billy Gooden grabbed the puck on a face off at the left of the net, and sank a 12 footer. His two fellow linesmen were given assists on the first tally. The same combination came through less than a minute later, this time Calladine hitting the twine with the disc which he took a scramble close to the.

net, While his teammates pulled Bes sette off guard, Norm put the puck through the goaltender legs sounded. Hornets Score Twice Three minutes later, though, the tide turned, and Pittsburgh ac counted for two goals. The score stood 3 2 through the second period, which was marked by excellent defense on both teams. A little more than a minute after the third period started, Ka minsky shot the goal which tied the score, again, taking the puck on a face off close to the left of the net. Hershey was short handed at the time.

With Jamieson in the box on a holding penalty following a fracas involving a fan, the Hornets were unable to hold the Bears at "Bay, as Doug Maher fired a hefty shot goalwards, the puck deflecting from Hal Coopers stick, with the latter getting credit for the marker. The Weiland men got their clinching goal when Billy Gooden hooked a pass at center, ice from Fred Robertson, and maneuvered the disc almost half the length of the arena to sink the shot just two minutes before the final whistle Efddie Burke was the lone offi cial for the game, as Hershey's spare net minder, Bud Reynolds, who has been subbing as linesman, suffered a broken jaw yesterday in practice.

It is thirty two years since the rivals played the series which includes 11 games from 1903 to 1913, and Yale won all of them Luciano Will f.lcct Gcorgic Millions In Doxing Feature Training What may be his farewell ap pearance will be made by Rocky Luciano, popular Harrisburg mid dleweight, in the ten round windup of the opening professional boxing show of the season at th Palestra tonight Shortly after winding up his ring chores against Georgie Williams, hard hitting Baltimore Negro, no matter whether he wins, loses or draws, Luciano intends to pursue more lucrative offers on the West Coast.

Offers given Luciano when he was fighting for Uncle Sam last year have proved so tempting that he has arranged to go to California to appear in shows there despite the efforts to have the local favorite remain for a few more of the cards to be offered by Al Cox and Johnny Lehman here. For the simple reason that he wants to leave a lasting impression with the local fight faithful, Rocky is anxious to score a victory over the troublesome Williams tonight, 110th Fight For Luciano Since this will be the 110th fight of his colorful career, nothing would please Luciano more than to add Williams to his list of victims. Records show that Wil liams has beaten such mittmen as Tommy Mollis and Mayon Padlo, to mention a few, but Rocky also has been mixing with the cream of the middleweight ranks and wants nothing to stand in his path of victory on this momentous occa' sion. With, this scheduled feature ex pected to be staged before 10 o'clock, a bout listed to go on after the windup will bring together Stoney Jackson, of Pittsburgh, and Carrington McNutt, of Wash ington. Both of these light heavyweight battlers have met before in a sensational bout that ended in a draw at Baltimore.

Matchmaker Lehman feels that it is a break for Harrisburg that he has been able to rematch them for the pro inaugural tonight. Six Rounder Carded Another six rounder that promises to provide plenty of action will be the meeting between Johnny (Red) Fees, the 143 pound Lebanon dynamiter, who has been winning consistently in other eastern cities this season, and Battling Kid Lewis, of Baltimore. Lewis is said to be the type of boxer who can absorb all sorts of punishment and hand it out himself, thereby making the task doubly difficult for the Lebanon battler tonight. Lightweights appear to be well matched in the other two matches on the program. In the first number, slated to get under way at 8,15 o'clock, Billy Grey will make his local ring debut in a four rounder against Pee Wee Brown, of Baltimore, and Bobby Waters.

local Negro amateur product and Golden Gloves champion, will swap blows insix rounds or less with Lee Q. Murray, of Washington.

Pitcher Nick Strincevich also notified the club he had accepted terms and was reporting to Muncie. Players already signed or "as good as signed" would seem to as i i sure a team mat wiu oe wen up among the pennant contenders. At present, the Bucs can call on Lee Handley, Frankie Gustine and Bob Eliot in the infield, outfielders Jim Russell, Johnny Barrett and Tommy O'Brine, and Catcher Al Lopez.

The pitching department ap pears more than taken care of with Rip Sewell of "blooper ball" fame, Fritz Ostermueller, Max Butcher, Elwin (Preacher) Roe and Ray Starr. Still on the doubtful list are Pete Coscarart, who has an nounced intentions of remaining on his war job, and Vince Di Maggio. The ball club also announced Eddie Stewart, outfielder and extra infielder for the Pirates in 1941 and 1942, who was placed on the voluntarily retired list two years ago, has been reinstated on his own application and optioned to Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League, subject to 24 hour recall.
