w I Ju Senators Win Six In Row, Game From Lead New York, Sept. 10 — (UP) — Whether they win the American league pennant or not, Washington's never-quit Senators deserved recognition today as the comeback team of the year. They are in red hot contention again, just a game behind the leading Tigers, with six straight victories including yesterday's double win over the Chicago White Sox, 4 to 2 and 5 to 4. The Tigers are hot, too, finishing their gruelling series with the Yankees with five victories in seven games. They won 6 to 3 at Boston and tied 3 all in a game halted in the eleventh by darkness. It was rescheduled for a double header today. Washington’s comeback was nothing short of remarkable. Finishing in last place last season, they gradually moved up this year, often threatening but never quite managing to get into the lead. Then, on Aug. 25, when they were just a half game out, they lost a double header to the Yankees and dropped two more the next day, gradually falling back until on last Wednesday they were two and a half games behind and apparently out of it. Then came the pressure series with the Browns riding high after a successful home stand that put them into the pennant picture, too. The Nats put the Browns out of it with four straight wins and followed with two over Chicago. The Senators made only six singles in the first game yesterday, but put them to efficient use, coupling two with two walks for the marginal runs in the fourth inning. Mike Kreevich won the second game with a ninth inning single which scored George Myatt. Mickey Haefner's first game win was his 16th. Santiago Ullrich relieved Alex Carrasquel to win the second game.

Paul Richards gave Detroit the batting impetus it needed to win the first game, batting in five runs with three doubles, his third one coming in the ninth to break a 3-all tie. Paul (Dizzy) Trout won his second game in as many days, relieving in the seventh. Dick Fowler, making his first 1945 start after being released from the Canadian army, pitched a no-hit, no-run game over the Browns to give the A’s a double win, 6 to 2 and 1 to 0. Fowler, who had made only occasional relief appearances, gave up four bases on balls to spoil his bid for a perfect game. Twice base runners were removed by double plays and he faced only 24 batters officially. He struck out six and only five balls were hit to the outfield. The A s scored on George Miller in the ninth on two singles. ! w 4W » “ w jg ST * a Tonight & Tuesday Technicolor Musical Hit! “NOB HILL” George Raft. Vivian Blaine.

Battleship-Carrier Defense For Navy • Bitter Controversy Expected Over Move Washington. Sept. 10 (UP) The navy today committed itself to a battleship-carrier sea defense in a move certain to provoke a bitter National controversy over the future function of land-based aircraft and the atomic bomb. Tlte armed services are moving rapidly today toward an upheaval of dispute, reorganization and development of new strategy unprecedented in our military history. The always alert navy made the first formal move today through the chairman of the senate ami house naval affairs commi'ttee. Chairman David I. Walsh, D., Mass., and chairman Carl Vinson, D., Ga„ announced jointly that they would introduce today coucurreiit resolutions which would express tlie sense of oong'nlss that we should maintain a peace time combat fleet of 1,079 vessels. Neither chairman eommil'ted himself to the program, each explaining, however, that it represented the desires of the navy and would be examined in projected committee hearings. These hearings, the chairmen said, will be 'thorough. They are expected to show congress what changes it will “be necessary to make in the structure and organization of the navy due to probable emergence of new weapons employing the principles of the robot and atomic bombs.” Some experts insist that the atomic bomb dropped by land-based aircraft has made the world war II navy obsolete. The peace time navy suggested already is afloat or authorized and most of it actually has been in combat. It would be divided into three units, one in active service, and ready for emergency, one pa: tiaTly manned as a reserve fleet, and one decommissioned but available. The greatest dispute will arise around the battle ship proposal for a force of 18. The navy wants three large cariers of 42,000 tons, 24 of 27,000 tons and 79 escort carriers. ___ . - ______ r Ge* 'll i v * A DELIGHTFUL DRINK A HEALTHFUL PICK-UP 5 Bottled By Sleury Bottling Co. ; Bluffton, Ind.
