 Washington Wins
 The Washington team hit timely behinds the effective twirling ot MatuseCk and scored an easy 12 to win over the Willow Brook agerc- gation. The latter outfit could do nothing with the puzzling slants of the winners tWirler and was able to hit him in only one inning. The game was called in the seventh to allow the workmen to prepare the diamond for the Dusty league tilt at 5:3O o'clock.
 For four innings, the Washington moundsman retired the losers with out a hit or a run. In the fifth rhe charm was broken when Lyons got a life" on a misplay by Solomon. A sacrifice. a, backstop misplay and two hits, the only ones registered by the losers during the game, account ed for three Willow Brook scores. In the last two innings. Matusecll retired the opposition in order.
 The winners connected for safe hit in the opening inning but this runner was left stranded when his teammates failed to deliver. In the second, however, the bats of the Washingtons got. busy and before the side was retired four hits had been chalked Up for as many ruus

 Paradise Park-Smith
 Paradise park proved altogether too strong for Smith in the game staged on Diamond No. 2 and the park crew took II to verdict. Par adise hoped into an early lead but Smith threatened consistently in the late innings.
 H. Argosy started in the box for Smith but he was altogether too wild to be effective. He walked eight men in three innings and number of these passes were con. verted into runs. He was relieved by Hanna who proved very effective against the Paradise Park batters.
 Smith had a chance to hold a lead gained in the first inn ing but Argosy's wildness elim- mated this in the last half of the frame. On an error at second and two doubles, Smith scored two runs. Argosy walked the first man and two errors sent him home. Sul- lick had got on first on a felder's choice and he came home on two wild pitches. Dagata walked and he came in on two infeld plays. This put Paradise ahead to 2.
 Paradise scored four more in the third on two hits and three walks. The Smith team. scored another ill the fourth and one in the fifth They got two in the sixth and one in the seventh. Paradise added two in the fourth and with Smith threat ening. scored two more in the sixth to sew the game up,
 Booster" Cox. with excellent sup port, turned in a, nice pitching job for the winners. "Lindy" Dobek starred at short stop, Molusis pull led down two nice catches in right field for the Park team. Hanna was the works for the losers.

Chicago, Aug. 20 dF-After hay ing spent 27 innings on one ball game, the Cubs and Phillies still had the job to finish today.
 A double header was arranged when the Philles came to Chicago last Saturday. to bring their sched- ule up to date. Tbe Cubs won the first one. but the Phillies battled the National league champions to a to tie in II innings in the second game.
 Another try to finish the game was made yesterday. The Phils SCOT ed their first victory of the series and their third of the season from the Cubs, but again delayed com pletion of business by holding out for Is innings until darkness term mated the second game with the score Gall.

New Britain herald., 1930-08-20

The progress of the Stanley Rule & Level baseball team since the &C., quisition of Spencer to it's roster, has made many believe that if the team had it's present strength at the be- ginning of the year, the P. 6s F. Cor bin team would not have been riding so safely in first place.
 We would like to see a rule adopt ed by the Industrial and City Leagues next season regarding the catching of foul fly balls on Da- mond No by the catchers of the various teams. The rule we mean is one that would declare all foul flies which go onto the automobile road behind the backstop. out of the park.
 This would stop the catchers on the various teams from trying 10 field the balls because they would not be declared outs. The reason for this is obvious to anyone who has followed the gamess played on this diamond. Some of the catchers have taken daring chances of being struck by passing automobiles by running into the road to catch foul flies.
 No one has been injured there up to the present time but we believe that a rule governing this particular thing such as we have suggested would be in the nature of locking the barn door before the horse got out When a catcher starts back for a fly ball, he keeps his eyes on the ball and not on approaching auto mobiles. Drivers could hardly be blamed for failing to see a catcher until he darted out of the crowd and probably into the path Of his machine.
 The catching of a fly ball despite the dangers of going onto the road. might seem heroic but the old say ing that the better part of valor is caution" would work better. Be- sides good catchers are scarce.
 The final game in the Junior City Baseball League is to be played to- night at o'clock at Walnut Hill park when the Republicans play the Washingtons. The American Legion has copped the championship of the league with the Sequins being close second.

The brand of baseball furnished by the teams in the circuits is re- sponsible for these statements. There isn't any doubt at all but that the enjoyment and pleasure furnished by the battles staged at Walnut Hill park cannot be duplicated.

Army.
The economy policy of the Govern
ment will no doubt prevent the favora-
BILE consideration of the proposal made
by Gen. Charles p. Summerall, in his
farewell to the Regular Army, of adj
vancing deserving older officers to the
grade OF brigadier or major general
q short time before their retirement.
The 81 major generals and 46 hrigadier
generals of the line that are authorized
are not sufficient to reward all those
officers whose services in the Spanish
American War, the Philippine insur-
rection, the China relief expedition,
the Mexican border trouble, the Cuban
occupation and the World War entitle
them to promotion TO general officer
rank.
Deserving older officers were taken
care of at one time by a law which
authorized their promotion to the
general a short time before being
placed on the retired list Of the Army.
In Gen. Summerall's opinion, Officers
In the grade of hrigadier general
should, as Is now generally the case in
the Navy, be retired with an increase
in grade. The slight increase in COM
pensation, to which their service en-
titled them, would prove a great aid in
enabling them to meet Q standard Of
living commensurate with the rank OF
general oficer."
The authorization of blue uniforms
for the Army has neceSsitated the es-
Enlistment of standards of colors for
cloths and the various facings on the
uniform. These colors, or combination
of colors, for facings and trimmings for
the blue uniform for the different
branches of the service are as follows:
Infantry, light blue; Field Artillery,
scarlet; Cavalry, yellow: Air Corps
ultramarine blue and golden orange;
Corps of Engineers, scarlet and white;
Signal Corps, orange and white; Quar-
termaster Corps, buff; Ordnance De-
partment, crimson and yellow; Medi-
cal Department, maroon and white;
Adjutant Generals Department dark
blue; Finance. Department, silver gray
and golden yellow; Inspector Generals
Department, dark blue and white:
Judge Advocate Generals Department,
dark blue and light blue; Chemical
yellow: Militia Bureau, dark blue and
scarlet; General Staff Corps, gold and
black; Bureau of Insular Affairs, dark
blue: chaplains, black; detached en-
listed mems list, green; Coast Artillery
Corps, scarlet; Military Police, yellow
and green.
Some of these colors were applied be-
fore the blue uniform was discarded
come years ago, while some branches of
the service which came into existence
since the World War, such as the Air
Corps, Chemical Warfare Service and
the Military Police, have never used
their colors heretofore. Shades In col
ors vary widely, and in order that all
facings on blue uniforms for the Army
wherever they may be purchased, Shall
