A WAR CORRESPONDENT COVERS A BA8EBALL GAME Authorities revealed today that the Clnnburgh Cubs and the Deyork Dodgers engaged In a critical baseball combat on June . at an unnamed p?rk somewhere on the outskirts of the city. According to usually reliable Bources, "Red',J Wilson and Jim Smith were the starting pitchers. High official circles In Deyork announced that the Dodgers were victorious by a score of 6 to 4. However, a dispatch from Clnnburgh claimed the Cubs to be the winners, 6 to 3. Deyork news agencies reported that the feature of the game was a home run with the bases loaded by their slugging first baseman, "Hank" Ottwick. This do vastatlng blow, coming in the ninth Inning with the score tied at 1-1. was alleged to have turned the tide of battle in the Dodgers' favor. Clnnburgh correspondents flatly denied this report', claiming that Ottwick's high fly was caught near the flagpole in centerfleld by the sensational rookie. Ted McTroskey. An umpire, whose identity remains unrevealed, issued what some observers believe to be an authentic report, but his statements were censored so closely as to be of little value. Informed circles believed, however, that the Cubs may have strengthened their position In the league standings by this recent offensive.?The Christian Science Monitor.

V -r-*- -% - TWO STATE8 MUST SAVE MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF GAS Charlotte, June 21?North Carolina and South Carolina must save 137,000,000 gallons of gasoline during the remainder of 1941 as a patriotic contribution toward solving the problem of petroleum shortage on the eastern seaboard if prospective deflciences are to be met. This is the statement of the Carolina Motor Club, made today by President C. W. Roberts after gasoline-saving quotas for eastern Btates had been received from headquarters of the American Automobile Association In Washington. The Carolines' quotas represents a cut of 20 per cent from normal consumption. The total quota of saving asked for eastern states a mounts to a billion gallons for 1941. "This saving and more will be accomplished if mptorists will reduce tlveir normal gas purchases by 20 per, cent," Mr. Roberts stated. "Fortunately, this reduction can be accomplished without cutting down the number of miles driven, for tests conducted by the AA's contest board and other agencies prove definitely that more than 20 per cent of normal fuel requirements can be saved simply by cutting out wasteful driving practices." Co-operation of aT! gasoline users is required to avoid "gasless Sundays" like those during the last World War period. Mr. Roberts said. The gasoline shortage, of course, is caused by the transfer of 75 tankers from America's coastwise trade to Britain. The federal government is rushing pipelines and other means of transportation, but railroad tank cars holding only 10,000 gallons each cannot begin to bring in as much gasoline as do the tankers, holding 3,000,000 each. The Carolina Motor Club is recommending three measures to save gas and also provide safer driving. First: cutting down of average driving speed to well below 50 miles an hour; second, avoiding "Jack-rabbit" getaways in city trafTic; third, adjusting carburetors, keeping tires filled and keeping engine clean. All these combined certainly cut down consumption of gasoline by all driving tests. CADET JOHN C. WE8T NOW AT FORT BARRANCAS Fort Barrancas, Fla., June 28? 3adet John C. West, of Camden, S.

M ' i l.i i i . n , DIRECTOR HOOVER OF FBI 8EJVD8 GREETINGS TO 8HERIFF Hon. J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the FBI, has written Sheriff J. |i. McLeod the following letter relative to the graduation from the FBI National Police Academy of J. H. McLeod, Jr.: "It was pay very great pleasure today to present to your son, John, a certificate aa evidence of his satisfactory completion of the twelve weeks' course of training in Washington, D. C., in the FBI National Police Academy. In presenting this certificate, it was my feeling that it was not solely a personal award, but that it was an, award which will serve to strengthen j the friendly ties between you and the' Federal Bureau of Investigation. "It was with pleasure that I was able to make the personal acquaintance of John while he was here, and it la my sincere hope that, as a result of his attendance at this school, both he and your office will benefit1 as much as those of us in the Federal Bureau of Investigation who have had the pleasure of working with him." Farmers Respond To Food For Defense By his response to the department of agriculture's "Food for Defense" appeal, the small farmer of the South is proving not only his loyalty to the nation but also his common sense and his energy. I This is the point made in a stateI ment by B. P. DeLoache, farm secur-1 lty administration supervisor for Ker-I shaw, reviewing the results of the] - "Food for Defense" campaign to date. I In the four states of the Fifth Reg-] Ion-Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida?61,692 low-income farm-1 ers have received loans from thel Farm Security Administration to buy additional stock?chickens, brood I sows, or milk cows, according to their] [choice?with which to produce more] Food for Defense. ^ Loans granted in the regional total $4,602,304.30 to date, Mr. DeLoache] reported, for an average of $7.12. In this state, the number of loans ] granted was 9,102, for a total of $766, | 975.41 The average of each loan was] $83.06. I In Kershaw County, the number of I loans granted to date is 161 for a] total of $6,963.60. "This has made possible, said super-! visor DeLoache "the purchase in this] county of 1500 baby chicks, and 261 brood sows, all in addition to the | stock already on hand. It is easy to | see how greatly food production will] be increased, not only for the market] but also to enrich home diets. "The most heartening thing is the] fact that in every case the loan appli-jl cation was voluntary. If any proof |{ were necessary that FSA families are! willing and able to help their coun-j try and themselves as well, It Is to be | found In the record of this campaign.! These figures ought to inspire every] American, showing that people will] respond bravely and eagerly, given | an opportunity.
