('.. was second choice in the betting at 6-1. largely because Paxis Is "perfectly mannered" and never breaks, and has enough speed to be consistently up In the money It Is generally believed that Paxton Hanover will win If Colby Hanover falls to respond properly to the driving of veteran Fred Egan, who won with Spencer Scott In 1940 Green Diamond, a bay colt owned by l-eo C. McNamara of Indianapolis. is third choice at 8-1- The odds range from this to 25-1 the quotation for Elbridge T. Gerry's ‘'sevenup." The two fillies, follow me and Mabie Hanover, are rated 20-1 each.

Army Fighter Pilots Arrive In Egypt Take Traininq In Desert Warfare By Henry T. Gorrell Cairo. Aug. 12.—IVPl—Advanced units of Vnited Htates army fighter pilots have arrived In the Egyptian desert battle tone and. distributed among royal air force and South African air force fighter ■squadrons, already have begun Jo leant desert warfare. The army air corps pilots arrived In the middle east in a body, under a colonel from Alabama. Some are n-gular army air corps men. The others are men who had qualified as combat pilots before | the war, serving their full time | with army squadrons, and had been called back to service from civil life. Only a few hours after they arrived in the dwert where army heavy bomber crews already are blasting Axis targets along with the RAF and the SAAF. they used Curtiss Kittyhawks to give a dem onstratlon cf flying skill which the British pilots watching from the ground will not soon forget. After the demonstration a British squadron commander eaid: "These boys certainly can fly They did things with their Kitty-1 hawks that I freely admit I did not ' know could be done.” Arrival of the fighter pilots suggested that Americans would eventually reach full fighting strength ’

against the Axle forces In the desert. American bomber pilots made their debut in June when they bombed an Italian battle fleet attacking a British convoy. Since then, it was made known today, both pilots and bomber planes have b<en substantially reinforced. American tanks with their cwn Vnited States army tank crews, now also In the desert, are believed to be the son runner of more. The arrival of the fighter plloht was thus the third phase of America's growing war effort In this far away theater. Tremendous enthusiasm greeted the arrival of the fighter men. Out in the desert battle gone, I have talked to numerous Americans flying with RAF fighter squadrons. Invariably, when auked how they I feel about It. the pilots say: “I wish we had more Americans out here with the RAF." It looked today as If there might soon be all-American fighter squadrons out here. o HOME RUNS Williams, Red Box — 24 Laabs. Browns 21 M fit taints 19 Ott. Gianta II : Camiil!. Dodgers 17 !
