He weathered the storm, and finished up with two scoreless frame'. The Sox had scored seven markers for him In the second and third innings, so he coasted the rent of the way.

Medwick Believed Through As Dodger Slugger Reported In Durocher Dog-House BULLETIN New York, July 16—(UP) — Ducky Medwick, the veteran Brooklyn Dodger outfielder, is now a New York Giant. The Giants picked him up for the 87.500 waiver price. Ducky has never hit under .300 in 11 years service in the majors, but is having one of his poorest years st the plate this season. (By United Press) (>n<- of the greateat sluggers of modern time' —- Joe Medwick — is through as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. After many months ,n manager i<eo Durocher's dog-house, the ' Moody Hungarian outfielder is beI Ing dropped by the Dodgers. When tin- Brooklyn team left New York for Boston, Joe wasn't on the train. It's virtually certain that he’ll be given bls outright release’ or be , sent to another club on waivers within a short time despite the 1 fact that he is «rtill a valuable player. And Joe's departure will mark the end of another chapter in a colorful baseball career. Some of the Dodgers thought Ducky was loafing They never did like him much, and even his pal Durocher te-gan to drift away from him. The breach waa widened when manager Durocher became downright dtasati-fled with the showing of player .Medwick. This season, the crisis came. Medwick let it Is- known that he didn't watrt to play for the Dodgers. Did Durocher no .longer wanted ■ him on the club. So "Mwsctes" Medwick will almost certainly become the second Dodger star to b* dropped within : a week, even though few outfield- | cm In the league can match him. ■o-.

KI SKA AGAIN (Continued From Page L) are smashing every Japanese effort to break through the evertightening Allied noose. Mubo Captured Steadily advancing Allied troops are driving on toward the big Jap l>ase of Salamaua In New Guinea. The combined American and Australian forces took the main Japanese strongpoint on the trail to Salamaua yesterday. Mubo, a tiny native village io miles southwest of Salamaua. was captured after a concentrated attack by the Allied troops. And the entire Japanese garrison at that New Guinea Hase was Wiped out— 950 Japs killed. Our own losses were light. The assault on Muter started with powerful low-level attacks by American bombers Then from the hills and ridges completely surrounding the Japanese base, the united forces swept down on

the isolated Jap garrison. The communique from General MacArthur's headquarters says that the Allied troops are now pressing on toward Komlatum — next stop on the road to Salamaua. At the opposite end of the 750mile South Pacific front, our soldiers and marines are making slow but sure progress against Munda. the main Japanese base In the central Solomons. The American troops beat off a savage Jap counter-attack Wednesday night. American dive bombers are supporting the offensive against Munda too. Our plains hit the enemy's air base on New Georgia at Balroko harbor with a heavy load of bombs -including one and Iwo thousand pounders. And American fliers also scored another smashing air victory over Rendova island. Forty-flve Japanese fighters and Ixmibers were knocked out of the skies when i they tried to attack the American j invasion base. Three or four of our planes were lost. ALLIES PRESS (Continued From r*<o IT fires from previous raids still burned. Seven bombers failed to return to their liases. lamdon observers say the rising crescendo of air attacks on western Europe so strongly resembles preinvasion atctlc* on Sicily that the German high command must be asking: “will the Allies confine themselves solely to an air offensive In the west*" In the occupied low countriea the pattern Is taking the same form as our offensive In Sicily and Pantalk-ria — knocking out enemy airdromes, supply lines, ■nd crippling Its air force. For two weeks tbe offensive against German communications and airfields has been building steadily. Both the Bth United States air force and the royal air force have selected Axis air Installations as their major targets. On the political side of western Europe, Sweden Is reported to be ready to announce an important change tn her foreign policy. Ini formed sources believe that the
