Dodgers And Giants Lose Night Gaines New York, May 22.—(1P) Sy! vester (Blix) Donnelly lacks lour inches anti 34 pounds of matching Morton Cooper’s height and bulk, but he gave convincing evidence today that he may be able to step iutu the big fellow’s shoes on the St. fjouis Cardinal pitching staff. little man from Olivia, Minn., a wiry 166-pounder who stands fivefeet, 10 inches tail, had been a major disappointment to manager Billy Southworth until he stepped out last night and handed the Brooklyn Dodgers a 4 to 0 beating on their own grounds. That victory, coming at the end of one of the shakiest Cardinal road trips in years, may be the moralelifter the team needs to get ba'-k into the pennant picture. It projected Donnelly into the team's pitching plans because he had all he needed to win any game—a good curve, a zipping fast ball and fine control —and he didn’t tire as he usually does. Prior to last night he had dropped four games in a row and in three of them he had been hit like a batting practice pitcher. Had he failed last night Southworth might have been tempted to give up on him or relegate him to a relief role, an assignment in which he was brilliant against the Browns in the 1944 world series. With Max Lanier in North Carolina preparing for Army induction, Cooper under suspension and sulking in St. Louis, and George Dockius being treated for arm trouble, the Cards were in desperate straits for pitchers. Donnelly’s seven-hit job gave the I Cards a record of six victories and seven defeats for the trip. He struck out six men. ’ By winning the Cards evened a score against Dodger rookie Tom Seats, who shut them out to win his first major league game two weeks ago. Ernie Lombardi’s two homers weren’t enough to start the New York Giants off with a victory in I the first stop on their road trip at Pittsburgh but they deprived Max Butcher of a shutout and he had to settle for a 5 to 2 victory. The Pirates gave Butcher a threerun working margin in the first iuitiug, Jack Barrett’s triple and Tommy O’Brien’s double producing the runs. Butcher gave tip only

Americans Closing , In On Malaybalay Jap Resistance On i Mindanao Broken i i Manila, May 22.- (UP) —ThirtyFirst division doughboys closed m • today on Malaybalay, agricultural center of middle Mindanao, after driving 10 miles to the town's oul--1 skirts. 11 A communique from Gen. Doug- ■ las MacArthur’s headquarters reported the 31st had reached the edge of the airfield at Malaybalay. and were within a mile of the town itself, capital of Budkiuon province. In six days the 31st had driven 30 miles through rugged, hilly count ly and there was no indication its speedy advance would be checked at Malaybalay. Only 25 miles to the north along the Sayre highway, the 40th and Americal divisions were on the move again after being held for a time by stubborn Japanese resistance. They gained four miles to reach the village of Maluko. The 24th division around Davao completed clearing the ground around Sasa airdrome, and advancvanceded tw’o miles ynorth of Panacan village on Davao gulf against only light opposition. Japanese resistance on Mindanao appeared completely broken, except in the hilly country in the path of the 40th and Americal divisions, where the island's last defenders were trapped. 0 • YANKEE TROOPS (Continued From Page One) to take up positions strung out ' over a longer line. The Japanese defenders, believ- 1 ed the bulk of possibly 35,000 t enemy troops in the southern tip j I of the island, were holding their • t pillboxes and caves until slain by ■ t bayonets, grenades or flaming I streams of oil released from c ridges above. The enemy counter-attacked 5 ceaselessly, often donning the i uniforms of dead marines and 5 using captured American weapons s in an effort to confuse U. S. j marines and infantry. 5 At sea, the Japanese renewed ( their air attacks on the American fleet off Okinawa. Thirty-five • planes attacked at low level Sun- c I 2 day night and damaged five light | warships, but 26 of the raiders ■ 1 were shot down. (Japanese broadcasts said Japanese planes sank or heavily damaged live Allied surface craft Sunday night off Okinawa. They’ estimated American strength in Okinawa waters at four Essexclass carriers, four escort carriers and assorted battleships, cruisers and destroyers.)

Advise Poultrymen Increase Products Lafayette,,lnd., ‘May 22—‘(UP)— E. H. Matzen, Purdue university economist, today advised Indiana poultrymen to take advantage of the good market prices expected in the next few month& for eggs and poultry and to produce all they can of these products. Mathen explained that egg prices would begin to move upward—in keeping wit’ll price ceilings, which will also rise—in early June. He said that egg production already passed its peak and that prices would increase as the supply decreased. ‘Poultry meat supplies will increase in the next few months, Matzen predicted, but prices will remain reasonably firm because of the scarcity of other meats.

CITY WITHOUT (Continued From Ppga One) j are not equipped with automatic ! switches or breakers to prevent such a sudden overload and the turbines gradually died. The mechanical impossibility was explained simply, “as if a person | tried to put a six inch stream of water through a one inch hose.” Supt. Pettibone stated that the | 1,0110 K. W. turbine “burned out" and that it would entail considerable expense in rewinding the generator. The 2,000 K. W. unit was not damaged. The General Electric plant, was down for 18 minutes, E. W. Lankenau, superintendent, stated. The Central Soya company, including the McMillen Feed Mills, was without power for a comparable period and the expeller and solvent plants did not go on the line until late this afternoon. Work ceased on the cleaning of the condenser for the 5,000 K. W. turbine and Mr. Pettibone said that this generating unit would be in service around 2 o’clock this afternoon. The high tension line of the Indiana Service Corporation, which serves Decatur with part of its large electric load, since the blow-up of the 3.000 K. W. turbine at the city plant on June 22, 1942, enters the plant from the sub-station near Preble. AMERICAN Ist (Continued From Page One) , that Hodges himself would fight in the Pacific. Presumably most of his crack officers will go with him to join the three other armies already in the Pacific theater, the 6th and Sth in the Philippines under Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s combined command and the 10th | on Okinawa under Adm. Chester. Nimitz’ overall jurisdiction. Many of the men now in the i Ist army with sufficient points ■ for discharge will be separated from units to be sent to the Pacific before those units leave Europe. They will be replaced by men —presumably from other American armies in Europe—who have too few’ points for discharge. This means that men getting out of the Ist army will have to wait their turn to come home with other men being discharged and won’t be among the ranks of Ist army troops arriving here enroute to the Pacific. All troops stopping here enroute to the Pacific will get furloughs, though the war department didn’t say how long. 0 Food Stains A point to remember in removing , food sta’ps is that hot water sets some spots, such as those made by , blood, meat juice, milk and egg. In a mayonnaise stain, for instance, the egg substance will be cocked in the frbric by boiling water. In using all solvents remove the stains f-om tiie wrong side. When you attack the stain from the right side, you have the task of driving the soil all the way through the fabric, whereas if you spot remove from the w’rong j side, you drive the soil right out. o — Dandy Warmup Cinnamon toast is a dandy warmup when you have a crowd in after the skate. Toast bread. Spread with fat. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (four tabiespoofts sugar to one tablespoon cinnamon) — why not keep it in its own special shaker? Put it in the broiler or oven to melt. y * ft- < < - i !'> : IM*- « --- 4 - x witO z ' IJP -1 jR 'i ' i • -I ? APPOINTED as deputy chief of staff of the Far East Forces, 25-year-old Col.
