Luke Sewell Says Browns Will Repeal By LEO H. PETERSEN New York, Apr. 14. —(UP)—Luke ' Sewell, pilot of the St. Louie Browns, came out boldly today and predicted his team was the one to beat in the 1945 American league pennant race, but most of the other’ major league managers were more cautious in pre-season statements to the United Press. "We’re the team to beat," Sewell, who led the Browns to their first pennant last year only to lose out to the Cardinals In the world series, said. "I’ll take our pennant chances over any other club providing further inroads of the draft are distributed equally. Our most valuable asset is last year’s penhS'nt winning experience. Here is how some of the other managers sized up their clubs in the United Press poll: Billy Southworth, Cardinals: "I can’t predict because I don’t know the assets of the other clubs. Our pitching looks good with the addition of Partenheimer, Creel, Burkhart and an improved Byerly, who wftt be a starter. Our outfield is Shaping up with youngsters.” Charlie Grimm, Cubs: “If our r Ching holds up, we’ll be up there the first division somewhere all season long.” Jimmy Dykes. White Sox: "Havtttg lost key men in all departments, it doesn’t look much better than where we finished last season, fiblenth.” Leo Durocher, Dodgers: “I never fifiike predictions, but 1 will say that the pitching will be better and therefore the club will be better. We'll have a hustling ball club.” Mel Ott, Giants: "I think the club has definitely improved over last year and I think the Giants will finish in the first division.” Freddy Fitzsimmons. Phillies: "We’ve added defensive and pitching strength and I think we’ll give them all a lot of trouble.’” Ossia Bluege, Senators: “Our pitching should be strong, our catching adequate, our hitting will improve. 1 believe we have a

In Memoriam Never in its history has America witnessed*such a tribute as has been bestowed in memory of the passing of President Roosevelt. This tribute by pulpit, by press and by radio has been non-sectarian, nonpolitical and from representative citizens of every walk of life. Affected by deep emotion as the funeral train moved from Warm Springs to the White House, millions of Americans in the quiet of their homes, in offices and in factories were rededicating their energies and reaffirming their faith in our beloved America so that the practical idealism of President Roosevelt will be realized. The Commander-in-chief died in the path of duty. We somehow as never before feel that our sons havegone forth in a righteous war as true knights of old in the defense of country and its institutions as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Three Centuries are looking down upon the United States: The Eighteenth gave us the immortal George Washington, the Father of Our Country: the Nineteenth gave us Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator; and the Twentieth gave us Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Great Commoner and Benefactor of Mankind. He is not dead but sleepeth. G. Remy Bierlyl •5 '

chance for the first division." Bob Coleman, Braves: "If we don’t have too many players hurt or drafted I think we have a good chance to end up in the first division.” Lou Boudreau, Indians: "I am confident we will finish in the first division after a long, hard struggle.” * Connie Mack, Athletics: "Things look pretty bright and we are hoping to finish in the first division.” Frankie Frisch, Pirates: “I'd say we were a cinch to finish one two. , Like all other teams we have our problems but we aren’t going to be easy to beat.” , Joe McCarthy, Yankees: “I'm not concerned about the Browhs or anyone elee. The Browns are Luke Sewell’s worry. My worry is ’he Yankees.” I o Decatur Loses First Game To Van Werl The Decatur Yellow Jackets, making their first baseball start of the season, dropped a 5 to 2 decision to the Van Wart, 0., team Friday afternoon on the Van Wert diamond. The Ohio nine tallied three times, enough to win, in the first inning on two singles, a walk and two Decatur errors. Van Wert picked up single runs in the second and fourth innings. Decatur tallied once in the second inning on a base on balla, an infield out and an error. A double by Arthur and a triple by Gaunt accounted for Decatur’s other score i in the fourth frame. Van Wert obtained six hits and i Decatur four. The Yellow Jackets, without a home diamond this year as repairs are being made at Worthman Field, will play all their games away from home. The Jackets will play Berne Monday, at Wren, O. Friday and at Willshire, O. April 23. Other games will be played at New Haven, Portland and Berne and possibly a second game at Van Wert.

Mr. Roosevelt, abandoning the last vestige of United States isolationism, had prepared the nation for a major role toward achieving both of those objectives. Mr. Truman now has pledged himself to help in carrying them out. , o DISCUSS FARM LABOR (Continued From Page One) given to support the claim. Il is the right of every client who is refused a release to appeal to the United States employment office. If the U. S. E. S. sustains the decision of the local labor board, it is the further right of the worker to place an appeal with a war manpower committee. It seemed t.o be the consensus of those present that the policy of the war board should be continued and that during the war effort each worker should stay on the job for which he was best trained and fitted. The remainder the session was spent in explaining how war prisoners stationed at Camp Scott could be secured for certain kinds of farm work. The first step to be taken will be that of holding a farm labor wage rate hearing to establish current rates of farm wages. This hearing is scheduled at Monroe on the evening of Monday, April 30. After the hearing farmers may order the prisoner labor through the county agent’s office. They must be ordered in groups of 10 or more. The fact that they must be used in groups of 10 or more will no doubt limit their use to blocking tomatoes, picking pickles, tomatoes and like jobs.
