: D-DAY, when the big push started overseas with

allied forces landing on the west coast of France between Cherbourg and La Havre, must have awakened vivid memories in the mind of Manager Ray Blades of the St,

Paul Saints. : Busy enough frying to keep ‘his

club up in the race, the Saint

pilot must have taken out a few moments for a mental trip back-

ward a quarter of a century.

In May, 1918, Blades quit a job in St. Louis and entered the army

at Jefferson barracks. ...

He sailed overseas on Aug. 1, landed in

Liverpool Aug. 11 and from there was shipped to La Havre with the 119th field artillery of the 32d division.

He fought in the Argonne drive

until the Armistice was signed

and returned to St. Louis to start his professional baseball career,

Flick Top Hitter in Little Minors IT'S a rare feat when a player leads a minor league in batting

for two successive seasons, but the

trick was turned by Outfieider

Lou Flick, recently acquired by the Toledo Mud Hens. . . . Flick set

the pace for the Appalachian league

in 1941 and 19842.

His mark of 418 in "41 was the top average of organized ball and it won Flick the annual Louisville Slugger trophy for the year. . +» « He fell off consederably to 339 the following year, but that was good enough to give him his second straight Appalachian title.

Dampness ‘Hampers Play

Wet greens hampered the early players, but they dried out during the morning and playing conditions became ideal. Missing from action this year was Dick McCreary, last year’s winner, who tied the tournament record with a 218. He is in the navy and stationed in California, Among the service men in the meet were Sgt. Ray Kincaid, Indianapolis. He is home on a 15-day furlough from Camp Jackson, S. C., and is taking advantage of his visit to try for honors. A shortage of caddies was evident | as every foursome teed off. Some] players brought club toters from their home clubs, even from out of | town, to make sure they would have a boy. Some foursomes had only one or two caddies and some of them none, the golfers doing their own club] lugging. While play was in such an early! stage that no players had been put to the test, Morey, on his past record, was picked by many to cop the diadem. He was even favored over the three other strong contenders in his foursome. Other top challengers included Charley Harter, Paul Sparks and Walter Chapman of Speedway and Phil Talbot of Bloomington.

contests before heading for home aml a long stand at Victory field. On the current journey the Tribesters have won only two games and lost nine. The victories were achieved at the expense of the Millers, Friday and Saturday. The Saturday score was 4 to 3. Pitcher John Donahue, down from the Philadelphia Nationals, made his first appearance on the Tribe mound Saturday and, although he was credited with the victory, he had to step aside in the sixth when the Millers threatened to stage a

rally. Harry Stops 'Em The veteran Harry Kelley took over the Tribe mound burden and stopped the Millers cold.
