La Crosse Advances to State Finals With 8 7 Win
La Crosse Legion All Stars edged Beloit 8 to 7 in Madison to move into the 1944 Wisconsin Junior American baseball state final. Key moments included Zischke’s leadoff homer, a three-run sixth, and a ninth-inning rally capped by Gillmeister’s throw to plate and Schmikla’s timely hit. Bewildered Beloit mishaps and Olson’s pitching fueled the late rally as La Crosse claimed the semifinal victory.

Precautions Urged for Parcels to Servicemen Overseas
La Crosse post office patrons mailing parcels to service members abroad are urged to improve packing. Postmaster Wenzel Dvorak says many parcels are returned due to weak containers and insufficient cushioning. Boxes should be strong and sealed, using metal wood or solid fiberboard, with padding to prevent damage. Parcels failing to meet standards will be returned for rewrapping to avoid transmission delays and extra costs.
