Thursday, May 31st, 1045. . 2 80 0 wes NORTH OF COUNTY PATTON SHORTSTOP SUSTAINS INJURY “Biggy” Entler, shortstop and one of the mainstays of the Pat- ton Baseball Team, injured his right hand with a possible loss of three fingers while working at a local lumber mill last Saturday af- ternoon. “Biggy’'s’” absence will be a han- dicap to the Patton team because of interest and fight in keeping the game pepped from the begin- ning to the end. With an honor- able discharge from the service last year, “Biggy"” returned to Patton and immediately displayed his loyalty and courage by par- ticipating in baseball with the Patton Baseball Team. “Biggy” loves the game of base- ball and we are hoping his injury will not be such that it will pre- vent his furiher participation. With this inspiring love for the great American game it would be | difficult for “Biggy” to sit on the side lines at the same time have that inward feeling that he would like to be one of the participants. His fellow team-mates take this means to wish him a speedy re- covery and that it will not be long that he will again be back in uni- form. koko ok LOCAL BASEBALL NORTHERN CAMBRIA LEAGUE RESULTS Wednesday, May 23rd.

The win for Moss Creek gave them the League lead, as Patton was suffering their first loss at the hands of the Spangler Polish Legion Club. Each team pounded out seven hits, but the three errors by Bak- . | erton accounted for the majority of Moss Creek’s five runs in the fifth inning and enough to snare the victory. McCombie did the hurling for Bakerton, while Vivadelli, a Span- gler High School player, did the inound duty for Moss Creek. Hutton was the big gun at bat for Moss Creek, slamming out | three hits while Price for Baker- ton knocked out a double and sin- gle to lead the Bakerton hitters.

Lefty Paul Gormish, hurler for | Spangler high school, pitched a | no-hit no-run game as Spangler triumphed 4 to 0 over St. Francis Prep in a game played on the Lo- retto field. Gormish struck out 10 and wal- ked only two as he pitched his 3rd win of the season against no de- feats. Not one of the Prep play- ers was able to bat the ball out of the infield. Sheedy did the hurling for St. Francis Prep and gave up all four runs and five of the six Spangler hits in the fifth inning. Outside of the fatal fifth frame, he pitched a classy game.

Called to the army he saw al- riost two years of service before being discharged and going to Al- bany.

The object is to provide for all youngsters aspiring to profession- al baseball careers an opportunity to show their qualifications and to begin the development of their tal- ents under expert coaching and tutoring. The only requirements are that the boys supply their own uniform, gloves and shoes, as well as trans- portation to the fields where the work outs are to be had. The Pitts- burgh club will provide, free of charge, competent instructors and all necessary playing equipment, and will guarantee to every candi- date displaying sufficient ability a chance to start a professional car- eer immediately, or as soon as de- sired by signing him to a minor le- ague contract.

C. STRATEGY AGAINST JAPAN Back in 1937-38, Adm. William Leahy, now chief of staff to the White House, devised a strategy against Japan, which, if put into ef- fect, might have prevented Pearl Harbor and even World War IL Today, the old Leahy strategy is being dusted off, especially on Capi- tol Hill, as the best means of finish- ing the war with Japan. It would save thousands of American lives, its proponents claim, and would serve as an example of how wars | can be won—or prevented—by naval blockade. The proposals made by Ad- miral Leahy constitute one of the most important and unwrit- ten chapters in the history of what happened shortly before the war began. Leahy, then chief of naval operations and one of the best strategists the navy has seen in years, saw all too clearly what was coming both in Europe and Asia. At that time, 1937, Japan had just begun her full-scale invasion of China, and it was Leahy’s idea to make an example of Nippon which would show Hitler and Mussolini — then feeling their oats — that the United States meant business and would stand four-square behind the peace machinery of the world. Therefore, he proposed to FKoose- velt a naval blockade of Japan in cooperation with the British fleet, using the peace machinery of the League of Nations and the nine- power pact which guarantees the sovereignty of China. Leahy argued that by keeping the U. S. Navy in the Philippines and the British fleet at Singapore, we could cut off all oil, scrap iron, copper, cotton and other war ma- terials from Japan. Without these, he argued, the Japanese war ma- chine would be powerless and would fold up in six months. Leahy fig- ured that the United States would lose its gunboats on the Yangtze river, but that aside from this the main U. S. fleet would not have to fire a single shot. British Start Blockade. President Roosevelt agreed. So did the British. And in the late sum- mer of 1937, the British actually de- tailed 6 battleships, 12 cruisers and 20 destroyers to leave British home waters for Singapore. Just at that moment, however, the axis capi- tals apparently got wind of what was happening, and Mussolini started his unofficial submarine campaign off the coast of Spain which detained the British fleet at Gibraltaz. The Panay Incigent. At any rate, the plan to blockade Japan, following the failure of the Brussels conference in October, 1937, was dropped. But Admiral Leahy revived it again a year later, when, in December, 1938, the Japs | | sank the U. S. Gunboat Panay and the British Gunboat Ladybird. Leahy recognized this for what | it was, a deliberate attempt by much insult the United States would take, USA lose face with the Chinese. Ac- rushed to the state department and all one Sunday afternoon, December 13, 1938, one day after the sinking of the Panay, he urged Cordell Hull to seize this psychological moment to put the blockade of Japan into effect. The British were also willing to cooperate. And, Leahy pointed out, another year, war, breaking out in Europe, would tie up the British fleet and they could | not possibly help us in the Pacific. Russia, he also pointed out, cotton Without these, oil, all Japan. paralyzed. Pacing the floor of Hull's office |§j with Leahy was Hugh Wilson, ex- |}§& ambassador to Germany and one of | § the state department’s foremost ap- peasers. He opposed Leahy at ev- | ery turn, finally convinced cautious | Cordell Hull that Leahy was too vig- | orous, that it was best to appease | Japan. Less than one year later, Hitler |}: had invaded Poland, the British fleet | was desperately needed to defend |}; and the fat |§ was in the fire. From that point on | British home waters, there was no possible way the United States could blockade Japan | —though many people have never understood why we went to the op- | posite extreme and increased our shipments of oil and scrap iron to Japan so that she laid in tremendous reserves before Pearl Harbor. Japan Can Be Starved. But beginning with V-E Day, the | possibility of blockading Japan for the first time since 1939 was com- | pletely reversed. Since V-E Day, the British fleet is entirely free to oper- | ate in the Pacific. So are Russian | submarines. So is the whole might of the U. S. Navy, now no longer needed to watch for submarines in the Caribbean or the Atlantic. Today it is possible to throw up such a naval blockade around the main Jap islands, augmented by air patrols, that hardly a ton of raw materials could reach Jap factories. | V —Manufacturers anticipate no “reconversion” problems in the lumber industry; merely a change of customers.
