Bevens Tosses One-HifferTo Beat Red Sox New York. Aug. 31 - (UP) ~ Happy days are here again for Manager Joe 'McCarthy, who tried to resign a month ago because ol illness probably brought on by the antics of the worst New Tork team lie ever bossed.

1 ’Things were different today. ' Returning servicemen have bolstered the weak spots and restored the team morale with a winning campaign that has put the club back into the first division in fourth place just five and a half games ou* of the lead. McCarthy was beaming over the prospect of using Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler, the best pitcher in the American league in 1943. He will return to the club after his army release Sept. 12 in time for the clutch stages of the campaign. Chandler, who had the lowest earned run average 1.64. and the highest winning percentage with 20 victories and four losses in ills final year before going into the army, started working out in North Carolina and should be in excellent shape by the time he is released. News of Chandler’s impending return came right after young Floyd Bevens turned in the best pitching job of his career yesterday, a one-hit 7 to 1 victory over the Red Sox ace, Dave Ferriss. Bevens gained his 12th victory with the fifth one-hitler pitched in the American league this season. He started the seventh with) a walk and after two force plays, I Bob Johnson doubled to score I Boston’s only run. It was the | fourth straight Yankee win over Ferriss. Charley Keller and Frankie Crosetti hit Yankee homers. Crosetti got his with two on base. It was Keller’s first homer since his return from the maritime service.

The leading Cubs in the National. who start a series with the Cardinals at St. Louis tonight, lost at Pittsburgh, 6 to 4. The Pirates scored thrice in the seventh on Al Gionfriddo’s triple and Frank Gustine's two run single to beat relief pitcher Hank Erickson. Stan Hack of the Cubs got a consolation prize, his 2,090 th major league hit in the first inning when Chicago made two runs. El win (Preacher i Roe won his 11th game. The Cubs now lead the Cards by four games. In the only other major league ! game yesterday, the Indians and White Sox played to a 4 to 4 tie at Chicago. The game was called in the ninth to permit the Indians to catch a train. The Indians tied the score in the first of the ninth in a two run homer by Don Ross.

Yesterday’s star —Floyd Bevens of the Yankees, who pitched a one-hitter against the Red Sox for a 7 to 1 victory. o— Receive invitation To Berne Flower Show The Decatur Garden club has received an invitation from the Berne Garden club to attend the annual flower and vegetable show September 6 in the community auditorium.

DRASTIC CUT MADE (Continued From Page One) SIOO 100.000,000 and an Aug. 1 estimate of $84,900,000,000. War spending of $50,500,000,000 will be about $40,000,000,000 below actual expenditures for such purposes last year. Smith said the effect of the reduction in the war budget on the economy has already been demonstrated by cutbacks. He said that discharge of perhaps 7,000,000 service people in the next 12 months will have further wide economic effects. Despite these changes there will still be heavy war expenditures. The director said liquidation of the war machine will take time and will cost billions of dollars. o OWI ABOLISHED BY (Continued From Page One) said. He said he had asked Byrnes "to study our foreign informational needs, and to formulate during the remainder of this calendar year, the program which he considers should be conducted on a continuing basis."
