Baseball The Leafs are headed for the In- ternational League's first division and theft's the best news. baseball fans in Toronto and vicinity have heard in six long years. For there has been nothing but grief around Maple Leaf Stadium since 1934, the year the club last got into the play- offs. All spring Manager Tony Lazeri has kept insisting, "We're a better club than most folks think. We've got the pitchers and we've gat the hitters, we just haven't been getting the breaks. The pitchers have been doing their part but the hitters haben't had any luck. They've been hitting 'the ball right on the pick, but it always seems ,to go right at a fielder. The law of averageis will look after all that in time." So now the law of averages' is at last operating in favor of the Leafs' hitters and the team ,has started to roll, The only thing that can stop it is injuries. Jim Walkup, the curve -bailer who was counted on to win twelve or fifteen games, this season, has come dotwn with a muscle injury in Itis shoulder and the doctors say he will be out for another three weeks. On top of this big Jim Reninger, who has already won four gamiest and was one of the clifb's. leading pitchers; pulled. a muscle In his arm, an in Jury which will keep him on the sidelines for at least a douple of weeks. But to .counteradt these misfortunes, 48 -year-old "Sad Sam" Jones, who Joined the club in the role of coach, has come out of re- tirement and surprised everybody with his expert relief pitching. The frig improvement, of course, has been in the hitting. Eric Tip- ton and Dario Lpdigiani are in the charmed circle with marks of .345 and .309 respectively, and Fred Chapman, Buddy Gates, Johnny Tyler and Fern Bell have pidked up many points• in the Last couple of weeks. As this is being written the Leafs have won eight of their last twelve games, most of them) away from home, and are new con- ceded' to be one of the league's 'hottest" teams. Manager Tony Iiazzem has, cone tribute& no little to this: splendid showing by the skill and ingenunity with which he, has handled the club. "Ball players .who can't win for you are so match deadwood,' he declares. "You might as well get rid of them first as last" Putting this theory into practice, he get and of John Berley and Earl caldlwell, two veteran pitchers, and replaced them with.

He was thinking ,of the savings of the people, of the money they could gibe to provide :food and guns and shells for the Allied armies. !Canadians today, in all ranks and walks of life, and of ol1 ages, get the opsortunity to provide "silver bullets." It cornea through War savings Certificates.
