PAGE SIX 2 ST. LOUIS CLUBS AGAIN SERIES PICK Ball Wriiesfiadid Three- Way Race in American- | Pirate Vie with Cards NEW YORK, April 16.—Another all-St. Louis World Series is pre- dicted by National Baseball writers, who forecast a three-way struggle for the championship in the Ameri- can League and tougher competition for the Cardinals in the National eircuit. Of 75 scribes participating in the annual Associated Press poll, 61 picked the Redbirds to cop their fourth straight pennant in Senior loop, with Pittsburg running a strong second. Detroit and New York, in that order, were selected as the Brown's leading competitors for tk2 American Leaguz crown. RAINIERS TAKE CLEAR LEAD BY SUNDAY SWEEP (By Associated Press) Portland's Beavers and the San Francisco Seals divided their Sun- day double-header, the Beavers taking the first game, 5 to 1, the 8eals grabbing off the second, 2 to 0, behind the five-hit pitching of Bob Joyce. Portland took the series, three games to two. Sacramento and Los Angeles also split their twin-bill. The Solons won the opener, 5 to 1, the Angels comning back to pick off the night- cap, 3 to 0. Sacramento wound up with a four-to-one lead for the series. San Diego won both ends of ! the double-header with Oakland, dropping the Oaks out of third spot. The Padres claimed a three- to-two edge for the series after taking Sunday’s opener, 3 to 2, and the eight-inning nightcap, 4 to 3. The Seattle Rainiers walloped the Hollywood Stars, 10 to 3 and 14 to 4, to capture their series, four games to one, and take over undisputed leadership of the league standings. Ted Norbert, Rainier pasture-tender, smacked one homer in the first game and two addi- tional circuit-clouts in the second fray to boost his season’s collection of round-trippers to seven.

NOTE—From time to time, in this space, there will appear an article which we hope will be of interest to our fellow Americans. This is number forty-seven of a series. | SCHENLEY INTERNATIONAL CORP., NEW YORK | Let Them Vote! | Louisiana seems to have started | something. Some months ago the Louisiana legislature adopted a | measure to suspend all so-called “Jocal option” Prohibition clections —"until the boys come home from this war and have their say about it Now other states are following suit. Recently in Colorado an interim subcommittee of the State legisla- | ture recommended that all local option elections be postponed for the duration. Minnesota and Indi- | | ana are reported to be interested in deferring voting on local option until the boys come home. Dele- | gates to the Nebraska State Con- vention of the American Legion, in | August, adopted a recommenda- tion that the people of the State vote against g proposed Prohibition law in November. This is in sup- port of the policy established by the Legion during its 1942 National convention, recommending that “all action on the question of pro- hibition be deferred until the end of the war, so that those men and women ia the service may have an opportunity to fully discuss, con- ! sider and vote on the question when they return.” Then came the Bear- cat Post of the American Legion of Minnesota, recommending to the legislature of that State, which meets in January, that it enact legislation embodying the Louisi- | ana principle. Down in Texas, the Lone Star State, an interesting recent experi- ence comes to light: Tarrant Coun- | ty, Texas, voted dry during the st World War, when so many of | its voters were absent. This same county a short time ago voted again—and rejected Prohibition— and local observers say that many people voted against the proposal | to make the county dry, when servicemen were unable to have their “‘say.” It seems that we do learn frem experience. It seems, 0o, that the scveral polls and tests among mem- bers of the armed forces in absentia have had their effect upon those on | the home front whose responsibility it is to deliver back to our boys, when they come home, the way of life they fought to preserve.
