28. HUH' A -t 1 "-jT- V- 'a. i Triumph BY IFFY THE DOPESTER The Army and Navy forever! Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue! John Philip Sousa knew his march songs just as well as he knew his baseball, ladies and gemmen. It was Army and Navy Day at the vast Briggs Palace of Pleasure Thursday afternoon in all the golden glory of an effulgent autumnal sun. Capt.

Henry Greenberg, of the Army, and Adm. Virgil Trucks, of the Navy, took good care of the enemy, following the strategy laid down the day before by Old Iffy and Steve O'Neill. Under a curtain of fire by Adm. Trucks, Capt. Greenberg moved forth with his heavy artillery and blasted those miserable Cubs right back into their Cubby holes.

AS WAS EXCLUSIVELY announced by Iffy the Dopester, this was our grand strategy. It worked out just like I told you it would, my hearties. The Cubs strutted on the field, just like as said, as though they were Lord Almighty, but they did not figure on our Virgil Trucks, fresh out of the the Navy. That lad has swabbed decks until he is in perfect pitching condition. His arm was as loose as ashes and he was as sure of himself as Gin'ral MacArthur.

But the whole story of the brilliant after- that recital of the glorious fifth. Homer Hank, the Big Greenberg Boy, wanted to let the home folks know just how he did it on that dark and stormy night in St. Louis. Here is just how it happened as usual with two out. RICHARDS led off with a drive that nobody but Tris Speaker or this awful stiff of a Pafko, center field for the Cubs, could a' caught, the which he did, easily.

Trucks popped out in keeping with pitching tradition that twirlers are not hired to Then came Webb. We pause here. Pause for Skeeter Webb. A bow to him, ladies and gemmen, and to Papa Steve O'Neill. Some of the rougher boys in our grandstand and bleachers have been saying things all summer about Webb being favored because he married one of Steve's beautiful daughters.

I have never held to that belief. Any good baseball man and Steve is a good baseball man would throw away a son-in-law I anytime to win a game. Sons- in-law are not difficult to get but games are very hard to acquire. Well, Steve and Skeeter were vindicated on this balmy afternoon. Webb played a brilliant game at short and made two hits.

In this here instance, in the fifth, he started this rally with two out. HE HELPED HIMSELF to the first ball pitched and it was one of those nice clean singles that looked as though it had just come Turn to Page 2, Column 5 More Yanks Due SOUTHAMPTON (JP) The Queen Elizabeth sailed Thursday with 15,000 American troops. a Greenberg. He blasted the third pitch thrown his way by Henry Wyse, Cub ace, in the fifth inning. TWO MEN were on base at the time and Hank's three-run blow settled the game then and there.

With the Series even, Tiger Manager Steve O'Neill elected Stubby Overmlre, stocky southpaw, to pitch Friday. Overmlre will be opposed by Claude Passeau, a right-hander. Stubby won nine and lost nine for the season. Passeau's record is 17 and nine. Greenberg's game-winning homer came with Eddie Mayo on third and Doc Cramer on first.

Thero were two out. The Tigers had just scored Skeeter Webb to knot the count at one-all. WYSE'S FIRST pitch to the big man with the broad shoulders was a fast called strike. His second was a ball, low and on the inside. But the third one was Just right and when the ball finally was engulfed in a wave of memento seekers It had lined into the left-centerfield stands.

That was when the 53,636 fans really cut loose. On the previous day they sat through nine sorrow- Fair and Warmer Is Series Prospect Fair and warmer with increasing cloudiness will greet Friday's baseball throng at the World Series third game, the weather bureau predicted. Temperatures will range from 48 degrees in the morning to a high of 72 degrees in the afternoon with moderate southwest winds, the bureau said. Rain is expected by nightfall. ful innings in widen their Tigers could not score.

THEY HAD sat through four more this sunny afternoon to see Wyse pitch two-hit ball up to the big fifth and the Cubs break through with a run off Virgil Trucks in the fourth. But now they could cheer and they did. At third base, Manager O'Neill jogged up and down with uncontrolled glee. Hank trotted around the paths and the Cubs must have counted every step. GREENBERG, the man who came back to the Tigers July 1 after 44 months in the Army, shared honors with Trucks, who came back exactly one week ago.

Trucks, a handsome collar-ad right-hander, held the hard-hitting Cubs to seven safeties after they had made 13 off four Tiger hurlers in the opener. He fanned four batters, walked three and whizzed a blazing fast" ball and a sparkling curve all afternoon. The powerful right-hander walked into trouble early. STAN HACK opened the game with his first of three straight hits. A sacrifice put him on second and Peanuts Lowery, spidery little left fielder, slashed a single over short.

Greenberg fielded the ball perfectly and nailed Hack at the plate with a throw that had eyes only for the waiting glove of Catcher Paul Richards. When the Cubs finally broke through with their run in the fourth they did it strictly on a speed basis. Phil Cavarretta stretched a single into a double at the expense of Cramer's laxity and raced home when Bill Nicholson shot a hit into right center. FOR GREENBERG, his game-winning home run was in a way a Turn to Page 22, Column 1 Gire last nirtf stew KEW flavor wit tanry SBEDD'S OLD 8TTLE SACCE. Air.

Adv. Flow of Gas Depends on Union Stand Government Gives No Hike in Pay Rate BY JAMES M. HASWELL Of Our Washington Bureau WASHINGTON resident Truman ordered the Navy Thursday night to take over the operation of 26 oil producing and refining companies in 15 states which have been shut by strikes. Later, the CIO announced it would issue a statement Friday giving its answer to President Truman's appeal to the workers to return to their jobs. The Michigan plants ordered seized were those of the Socony- Vacuum Oil Trenton: Pure Oil Midland, and the Petroleum Specialties Flat Rock.

THE CIRCUMSTANCES of the Navy seizure obviously surprised officials of the Oil Workers International Union, who apparently had hoped the President would incorporate the 15 per cent raise in pay offered by the companies during negotiations. The Government's proposal. Instead, is to maintainn wartime hours and rates of pay, thus keeping workers' take home pay intact, during the balance of the controversy. The 15 per cent increase in the hourly wage rate had been coupled with a cut to 40 hours work a week. ACTING SECRETARY of the Navy H.

S. Struve Hensel appoint ed Vice Adm. Benjamin Moreell to be in charge of the seizure, and sent telegrams to 52 individual plants asking present managers to continue at their jobs. Hensel also asked the workers to return to their jobs immediately. Nothing was said by Hensel about the sympathy strike of CIO truck drivers ln Detroit and Toledo, which has tied up retail distribution in these cities.

No specific time for the seizure was given, but most of the plant managers and union officials will have been informed by morning. PRESIDENT TRUMAN said the shutdown has reduced the nation's daily producing capacity 1,675,000 barrels, representing about one-third of the total refinery capacity. "The plants remaining in operation are insufficient to produce enough petroleum to supply both the direct military requirements and the minimum essential war-supporting activities on the home front," he said. "So critical has the supply situation become that essential military operations are already jeopar dized," the President said. "Throughout the nation serious shortages are developing which would, if not corrected immedi ately, impair essential industrial and agricultural production and Turn to Page Column Giant Panda Dies at Bronx Zoo Free Press-Chicago Tribune Wlr NEW YORK Pan-Dee.

Andrew F. Wilson, of 943 W. Boston, went shopping for World Series tickets and discovered a heart of gold under a plaid shirt. Capt. Andy is just back from Europe and has been in the army four years.

REMEMBERING his days as a reporter on the Buffalo Evening News, Capt. Andy sought out his colleagues on the Free Press for a tip. The best he could get was a hint to shop the hotel lobbies. In the lobby of a downtown hotel, Capt. Andy's practiced eye fell on a gentleman whose shirt rivaled Joseph's coat of many colors.

What's more, the gent was clutching a half dozen pasteboards in a fist. FURTIVELY the captain made his approach. "Can you get me a pair for Friday?" he murmured. The ticket holder gave him a careful up and down and arranged a meeting "10 minutes from now," near the coffee shop. The meeting took place and the two $6 ducats changed hands, with Capt.

Andy reaching for his wallet. "Forget It," growled the ticket man. "You boys are entitled to anything you want in this town." By the time Capt. Andy recovered, his unknown friend had disappeared in the crowd. "The heck of it is," mourned the captain, "I can't even send the guy's wife some flowers.

Both men and the boat were carried down the spillway, which is about 60 ft. long and rocky at the base. A post-mortem will determine whether Hubbard drowned or was fatally injured.

IJT. GEN. HAROLD L. GEORGE, commanding general at ATC. termed it "the fastest world flight ever made at near the earth's greatest circumference." It covered 23.279 miles In 149 hours and 44 minutes, Including ground time of S3 hours and 21 minutes.

Operators in Detroit and other cities plan a four-hour work stoppage, beginning at 2 p. m. The stoppage has been called by officers of the National Federation of Telephone Workers in protest over an NLRB examiner's order. The order recommended dissolu tion of the union at Kearny, N. on the grounds that it was company dominated.

ABOUT 200 MEMBERS of the Michigan Federation met Thurs day nigit to arrange for the halt in the Detroit area.
