Dodgers Beat Giants In 13 Inning Game New York, June 19 —(UP)— If any individual is toibe credited with the rise of ithe Brooklyn Dodgers io the Giddy heights of first place itt tfcc National League, long Howie ISChukt*, the guy Who was too tall it® get Ift to the army, is the man. Hishpockets Ulowie, who placed a csllege education ahead of a career with tihe Dodgers, was late in reporting because he wanted to get h'ls degree from 'Hamline university at St. Paul where he created quite a stir as an amateur basketball player last winter. The six-foot, seven-inch youngster, now in his third season with (the Dodgers despite the fact he is only 22 years old, moved into Brooklyn a little more than two weete ago, and since that time the Dodgers haive moved from fourth place to the league lead. While he has not 'been 'tangibly responsible, hta presence in the lineup was considered significant as the Dodgers knocked off 10 .victories in H 2 starts since he rejoined them. Never a heavy hitter, he is noted | tar coming through in the pinch apd he played ithe role to perfection IW night as the Dodgers subdued Hie G iants, i 2 to 1, in 13 innings. * itphe Dodgers, who haven’t been llpiklng for Ibase hits, were .'having iMeir 'troubles against Harry Feldman of the Giants in a night game at Elblbeite field. They didn’t ecore putil the la'.-it of the ninth when (loadwin Rosen singled, moved up on an error and came home on Dixie Walker's one-baser. Ace Adamo, who took over for Feldman, and Clyde King, Dodger relief pitcher, settled down into a duel and it looked as if the game might go on Indefinitely. Sahultz broke it up. 'Miffed ibecause manager Mel Ott of the Giante had passed 'two players, Walker and Luis Olmo, to get to him in the l®th, Schultz promptly screeched a single into center ito ecore the game-winning run. The victory increased Brooklyn's lead over the idle 'Pirates to a game and a half and dropped the Giants to fourth place, behind the St. Louis Garde. The Giants now have lost

17 of their last 21 games, dissipating a six and a half game first place lead.

Afield Schultz has been the •’makings" of an infield that needed only a rangy first baseman. The versatile Olmo was moved from the oulfield to third ibane. Though he is a sure fielder ihe is a “scatter” thrower and needed a big target like Schultz at first base to steady him. Shortstop Eddie Basilisk! and second baseman Eddie Stanky 'benefited in the same way, they were, able to concentrate more on fielding and less on throwing ithe ball with Schultz reaching practically from right field to the pitcher’s mound to retrieve their heaves. iln the only other major league game yesterday, the White Sox beat the league leading Tigens at Chicago in the American league for the third straight 'time, 1 to 0, indicating that lHank Greenberg can’t get back into action too soon to stimulate the anemic Detroit bitting. The Tigers made only four 'blows off .Bill Dietrich who hooked up against 'Paul (Dizzy). Trout in a scoreless duel until the ninth. Then the White Sox laid down a bung-bar-rage which produced the victory. Tony Cuccinello led off with a single and took second on an error. Bill Nagel moved Joe Orengo, running for Cuccinello, to third with a bunt and catcher Mike Tresh dropped a safe bunt which sent home the winning run. The sox made nine 'hits off Trout, who suffered his sixth defeat against ae many 'Victories; tNo other major league games were scheduled.

Today s Sports Parade By JACK CUDDY Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) o o New York, June 19.—(UP) —It is a splendid tribute to baseball that General Dwight D. Eisenhower desired todays mammoth welcoming program to include a major league game. This sandwiching of a ball game into the mightiest welcome ever accorded by America's largest city certainly gives the horsehide sport a magnificent pat on the back. General “Ike”—former outfielder of the Abilene, Kas., high schorl team —made it crystal clear before leaving Europe that he wanted today to be “BB” day, when he could invade the realm of the hot dog, peanut and home run. That's why he and his distinguished entourage were scheduled to establish their observation post at the polo grounds at 3 p.m. today for the Braves-Glants game. General Eisenhower, in a recent letter from Europe to General George C. Marshall, chief of staff in Washington, wrote: “I have no suggestions to make regarding the entire trip, but secretly I hope that New York has that ball game. I really would like to see the big leagues play again.” “Ike,” supreme commander of the Allied expeditionary force, is a red hot sports fan. In addition to baseball, he likes football, golf, volley ball, riding and the G. I. indoor pastime—poker. He te an expert poker player. Friends in Abilene recall that young Dwight Eisenhower —one of a family of six boys —was a fine allaround athlete. He distinguished himself at baseball and football in high school there. And he played one game on the plebe football team at West Point, when he first entered the military academy. In that game, with Tufts, he suffered a broken leg—ending his competitive athletic career. We recall reading a story out of Abilene a couple years ago that young Dwight also was handy with his mitts. It seems that he returned to Abilene from West Point on a vacation and heard a boxer, Dirk Taylor, boast that he could beat anybody in Kansas. Eisenhower took him on before a large gathering of local admirers and knocked him out in two rounds. We do not know if this yarn is true. While overseas the general kept in shape by tossing a heavy medicine ball with his officers. Whenever he shifted headquarters, the medicine ball accompanied him. He also did as much walking as possible. Horace Stoneham, president of the Giants, was scheduled to sit in the general’s box today during the game, and bring Ike up to date on his baseball. It would be interesting to hear Stoneham’s explanation of why Brooklyn is tn’’ftrlft’plaice in the National League, and why the Gmnts.have dropped to fourth, losing 17 of tlfeir last 21 games. .< T . .

Gatien Viscount Du Parc. The king has decided to return to Belgium and again take over the throne after five years in German hands and a few weeks as a guest of the American army since his liberation by the 106th cavalry group of the 15th corps, U. S. seventh army. The announcement of Leopold’s decision came three days after the Belgian government of Premier Achille Van Acker resigned in protest against his return. In resigning Saturday the government said it was unwilling to take responsibility for events which it regarded as inevitable if the king went home to rule the country. “The king having decided to return to his country, the government has resigned,” Leopold's statement said. “From this moment the king has reassumed effectively his full constitutional prerogatives.” After reading the statement, Captain Du Parc said he could not say when Leopold would return to Belgium or whether his family would go back with him. The king’s marriage to a commoner was proclaimed in Belgium churches on Dec. 7, 1941 —Pearl Harbor day. (Brussels reported that socialist members of the Belgian chamber adopted a resolution today reiterating the party’s belief that Leopold should abdicate as the only means of averting "serious trouble.”) ,■ . This was the first public -atptji*-' ment by Leopold, who still • refuses to receive correspondents, since. Ips liberation on May 7. Leopold’s family still is living at Villa Strobl, Austria, on Lake Wolfgang, under protection of the American army.

Indicating that non-fraternlza-tion was not intended to show any basic unfriendliness toward the German people as such, he said it must continue to be applied to adults until all war criminals and ardent Nazis are segregated and punished.

Wallace, Arlington, Va„ commander of the eighth regiment, and his operations officer, Maj. William Chamberlain, Chicago, 111., got Buckner’s body down from the rock.
