Babe Dahlgren Leads Major League Hillers Oft-Traded Player Leads Both Leaques Philadelphia. July 2 (VP) For a man that nobody seemed to want a year ago, Elleworth T Dahlgren has become a very much sought after young man. Ellsworth whom everybody in baseball c ircles knows as Babe is staying on us third baseman fur the Philadelphia Phils through the courtesy of a temporary deferment from hta draft board. The Bah Is the current leading batter of both the National and American leagues. Dahlgren has had a spotty career j in the big leagues seven years in i the majors and seven Jobs with seven different teams Babe has been on the payroll of the BcMtin Red Sox, New York Yankees. Boston Braves, Chicago Cubs, St. lamia Browns. Brooklyn Dodgers, and the Philadelphia Phils. He has been called the flashles. fielding first baseman in the big league* by many sports enthusiasts. But. the Babe didn't really start to hit until the Phils were forced to move him to the hot corner. Babe attributes his present batting mark in the upper .300 bracket to the sac t that he got a sore arm when he was shifted from first to the other side of the Infield. That forced him to take* it easier on his swing at the plate. Hie softer swing developed an ability to drop them In there for base* hits instead of carrying farther out where they could be gathered in by th,- outfielders.

AMERICAN CANNON, (Continued From Paga 1) troops, norhtwest of the enemy base, have started attacks on the enemy lines - killing at least 2G officers and men. The main Jap bastion In the southwe’st — Ratmil) — has been given another going over by Allied planes. Five waves of giant Liberators roared over the New Britain port Just In-fore dawn yesterday to dump 22 tons of bombs on three’enemy airfields. Many fires were started hut the results were not observed. Washington sources estimate the Japanese forces opposing the Allies along the new 700 mile front as between 60.000 and 70.000 veteran troops. Its believed that about half these are In the central Holomons and the remainder in the Salamaua area of New Guinea. From the far east, Vnited Press correspondent George Wang has a fascinating story to tell of how Chinese forces stopped the Jap drive on Chungking during May and June and turned the enemy advanc? Into a rout. Wang says the great victory was made possible when the enemy's battle plans fell Into the hands of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. The key o the rout of the Nipponese I was the defense of the great Shlhpal fortress towering 2.000 feet above the south shore of the turbulent Yangtze river. The Japs hoped to storm the fortress and take It by surprise But when Chiang learned the plans he ordered the garrison to defend the bastion to the last man. Th.* Japs reached the Shlhpal area on June 29 and walked into a deadly trap. The battle raged through the night and the next day. And the enemy, after suf-
