It was Port Edward's second straight trl-iihiph and left them only one from' winning the title for the second successive season.

Sher struck out nine batsmen to Cody's three. All five of the Fortress hits the Yanks' left-fielder, doubled in the eighth for the only two-' base' blow of the game and his Hicks, Port Edward centre-fielder, snared three flies and ' threw out a runner, while sec-- ond-baseman Jacobs shone in the infield, making four put- others.

That scene will be repeated until all the players in service are discharged. Earlier in the season, the war veterans Al Benton of the Tigers and Peanuts Lowrey of the Cubs came back to the' diamond and promptly took the spotlight from the' regulars with improved playing. Then followed the big bats of - the' Tigers' Hank Greehberg,' the Senators' Buddy Lewis and the Yankees' Aaron Robinson' and Charlie Keller. Those boys promptly- brought the atomic force to the plate and exploded' hits all over the parks. Now, all1 eyes are on four pitchers who have returned to their clubs: Bob Feller of the Indians, Charlie Ruffing of the Yankees, Tommy Bridges of the Tigers and Hugh Mulcahy of the Phillies. These fellows really could' throw them before they went to war-and there has been quite' a bit of speculation about what they would do when they came' back. The season is too far advanced for any of the twirlers to do much about adding to their outstanding achievements but their work should be a good criterion of what to expect next1 year. Ruffing is the oldest of! the quartet, having reached 40 ( last May 5. Big Red broke into the majors with the Red Sox in 1924. Hi' never had a winning season until he was traded to the Yankees In 1930. Charlie left the pitching mound with an all-time record of 258 wins against 216 defeats. Hi's best years were 1938 and 1939 when he won 21 contests while losing seven. The Yankee'star has been in seven' World Series and three All-Star games. He holds the record for m6st victories (seven) and most strike-outs (61) in the fall classics. Feller, now 21, stands a great chance to be one of baseball's Immortals. Bob was with Cleveland six years before he enlisted In the the U.S. Navy four days after Pearl Harbor. Rapid Robert's fast ball wasn't slowed any by his sea chores'. He proved that in his first comeback game when he whirled 12 Tigers to raise his all-time strike-out total to 1,245. The Van Meter, Iowa, thrower holds several modem major marks. His best year was In 1939 when he wort 24 games whlle'loslng nine. He'll bear' plenty of watching. Bridges was inducted into the Army, Nov. 20, 1943. He had been with Detroit. 14 years at that time. His big time won and lost record was 192-137. He won the most games, 23, In 1936, but. Tommy's best percentage came In 1939 with a 17-7 record. He won four World Series games out of six starts while losing one. Mulcahy, who was the first ballpltcher t6 go into the service; March 8i 1941, 13 32 years old. He only' had five years in the majors, all at Philadelphia.
