Sox Defeat Cubs In Charity Game New York, July 10. -(UP)—The 10-game winning streak of the Chicago Cubs was broken today in the best possible way—where it didn't count in the National league standings—in a 10-inning sto 4 loss to the cross-town White Sox in a war-charity game. The White Sox victory, before a crowd of 47,144 fans at Comlskey park, highlighted a program of three inter-league night games for the benefit of war charities. At New York, the Yankees put on a six-run rally in the third to beat the Giants, 7 to 1, at the polo grounds before 41,267 fans, who contributed $50,518. Sen. A. B. (Happy) Chandler, making his first appearance as baseball commissioner at the polo grounds, threw out the first ball. A disappointing crowd of 6,066 fans saw the Cincinnati Reds gain a 6 to 0 victory over the Indians at Cleveland in a third charity game. They contributed about $6,000 to the national war relief and service funds. In war charity games today the Cards and Browns play at St. Louis, the Brooklyn Dodgers and Senators at Washington, the Phillies and the Athletics at Philadelphia and the Braves and Red Sox at Boston. -* , ( Rifle, Pistol Club Elects Officers Officers were elected at the annual meeting of the Decatur Rifle and Pistol club last evening at the Walter ißritzenhofe range on Elm street.

1 0 7 —"7 ° I Todays Sports Parade i By JACK CUDDY Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) u — 0 - 'New York, July 10— (UP)--Per-el-tent rumors along 49th street suggest that Sgt. Joe Louis soon will receive his honorable discharge from the army. The heavyweight champion, now 31, has been in service three and a half years. In connection with Iheee rumors, e we met a chap last night in tront a of the Forrest hotel—where the t great mgn of tin-ear terrace cone gregate on the sidewalk to punch 4 the bag. Using the side-mouth dex livery, he whispered, “come away from dese bums—into the bar; I i got somethin’ 'hot to tell yuh. r 'His hot special was a repetition f of the Louis rumor, with flourished, r he said: “I got it straight from the right t party. Louis gets his discharge in > about a month—maybe in time for j an outdoor fight in September. No, > 1 don't know nothing’ aliout hie points. With Louis, it ain’t a ques- ; tion of points. I got it straight that - war department figures Joe’s job is done — y'know wot I mean helpin’ the morale of the fightin’ ; men. Can’t use him much in the i Pacific, ’cause that’s a different kind of war. “An the war department knows i that nearly every man in service wants to see Louis get out and defend his title before he’s so old that the first civilian heavy he meets will belt his brains out He’s one of the most popular guys in service—done everything he could to entertain the boys, wherever the army sent him, and never was the least bit uppity. They like him a I lot, ‘cause he'd been a credit to the ’ army; an’ they know he’s broke— , an’ getting old for a fighter.” What about Sgt. Billy Conn? we asked. . “I ain’t been able to find out nothin’ about Conn,” our informant 1 replied, visibly crestfallen at being forced into such an admission. if champion Joe did get out of the army in time for a September title defense, who would be the challenger? That was easy for our fountain of information. He answered im- ( mediately: “Joe 'Bakdi or Tami I Mauriello.” * But are they ready yet to meet I the great Louis? t "It ain’t a question of them bein’ t ready,” he explained, digging an j emphatic forefinger into our ribs. “It’s a question of whether Louis ( is ready for them. Joe’s up at camp j Shanks now. He weighs about two 1 hunnert an twenty pounds, an’ he i ain't had a fight in more’n three t years—not since he knocked out t big Abe Simon in March, 1942.

Democrats Wary Os No-Third-Term Rule Congress Leaders Shie At Proposals Washington, July 10. —(UP) — • Congressional Democrats, whose party was dominated for 13 years by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, generally shied away today from the proposals that the no-third-term rule be imposed by law upon presidential tenure. But there was more than a spark of Democratic interest in the house judiciary committee. Chairman Hatton W. Sumners, D., Tex., an influential statesman, indicated that his commitee probably would take up the whole question of pres- ( idential tenure after the Sumner (ecess.. | , > ,If Sumners- and his powerful committee get behind the proposal for a constitutional amendment limiting presidential service to two four-year terras, the project is likely to get somewhere —at least in the house. Sen. Lister Hill. D.. Ala., who nominated Mr. Roosevelt for a fourth term before the Democratic National convention, opposed limitation. He eaid the proposal was merely a Republican political maneuver. Sen. Alben W. Barkley, D., Ky., who became Democratic leader of the Senate in 1937 through the personal intervention of Mr. Roosevelt, said: “I’m no keen for limiting the people in their choice for a president. I see no reason why the people should tie their own hands in advance.” Chairman Pat McCarran, D., Nev., of the Senate judiciary committee, was uninterested in any limitation proposal. House Republican leaden Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts, gave the no-third-term movement its first major boost over the weekend. He urged that congress submit to the states this year a constitutional amendment limiting presidential service to two terms of four years each. He warned that ambition for possible additional terms could be detrimental to the national interest. Sen. Wayne L. Morse, R., Ore., introduced in the Senate yesterday a resolution to prevent a third term. Various similar propositions are pending or have been suggested. But it is recognized that this Republican proposal .of Martin’s must have Democratic backing it it is to get anywhere soon. President Truman will be asked to express an opinion on a constitutional limitation. . 0 To Offer Wheat Crop Insurance To Farmers Indianapolis, July 10 —(UP) — Wheat crop insurance for 1946 will be offered to Indiana farmers about Aug. 1, IL.

Fort Wayne Jewelry Store Robbery Nets SB,OOO For Bandits Fort Wayne, Ind., July 10. —(UP) —Three men got away with more than $8,500 in cash and jewels in an armed robbery at Strasburg Bros, jewelry yesterday afternoon. The men escaped in a '39 or ’4O dark blue Chevrolet with Illinois license plates, and captain of detectives Al Figel said that the plates had been stolen in Columet City yesterday morning. . The men entered the store earlier in the day on the pretext of buying an alarm clock. Both brothers operating the business were in the store .at the time, and one j of the brothers became suspicious of the men and kept a pistol about his person while they were in the store. The three bandits left, however, saying that they would shop around. Instead, they went two doors down the street and lay on a lawn waiting for the suspicious brother to go to lunch. They entered the store again, bound the other brother With telephone Wire, took money and jewels from the safe and showcases, and S6O from the wallet of Strasburg. —o Condition Os Veteran Policeman Unchanged The condition of Sephus Melchi, veteran Decatur police officer, who suffered from a double heart atin the 18-25 year class, have been proved, members of his family stated today. Mrs. Melchi also is quite ill and had a restless night. The attending physician has ordered Officer Melchi to remain in bed for at least four weeks, rest being the only mender of his heart ailment.

May Consider Final Italy Peace Treaty Big Three Expected To Study Proposals London. July 10—(UP)—Reliable informants declared today that proposals for a peace treaty with Italy will be considered at the forthcoming Big Three meeting. The time of the conference has no t been announced although President Truman was revealed to be on his way. The plan behind the proposals I obviously would be to establish Italy in the near-future as a fullkedged independent nation a t peace with the world and empowered to deal with her sieter nations on an even footing. However, the treaty would not imply automatic membership in the United Nations, nor would it necessarily settle outstanding territorial questions. British sources eaid it is unlikely that a peace treaty in anything resembling final form will emerge from the Big Three powwow. Mr. Truman, Prime Minister Churchill, and Premier Stalin may decide the scope and timing of the treaty but they will leave any detailed negotiations primarily to Britain, the United States, and Italy. The British feel that Russia has only a secondary interest in Italy while the French must be consulted before the treaty is signed. Italian colonies would come under United Nations’ trusteeship, but what power or powers would administer them is unknown. Observers believe Britain can be expected to press strong claims, particularly for those colonies located along the Mediterranean shipping lanes. British attitude toward Italy is believed decidedly more friendly now than it was six months ago. The formation of a new government under Ferruccio Parri is X ited to show that Italy is wiping out her sins. o New Brief Filed In Slate Liquor Fight Contends Judges Lack Jurisdiction Indianapolis, July 10. —(UP) — The Indiana Supreme court has under advisement another brief filed by the state in support of the 1945 state liquor code, under attack by Democratic beer dealers. attorney General James A.
