MOTHERS LOVE

When the love of a mother for
her son proved stronger than fear
of the law, Mrs. Mary Johnson,
80, colored, was brought before
Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police
Court yesterday charged with
petty larceny. But Judge Schuldt
was so moved by her hard-luck
story that he took her bond not to
repeat the offense, and dismissed
charges against her.
Mrs. Johnson, 900 block s st.
N. w., was charged with taking
two pints of milk, total value IA
cents, from in front of a grocery
store in the 800 block Ninth ST..
N. w., early today.
She told Judge Schuldt that
she is separated from her hus-
band, and as her oldest son, who
is 81, is out of work, she has to
support her family by herself.
She works for the Salvation Army
for $50 per month but, paying
$40 for rent, she did not have
enough to pay for food, and as
she was employed, the charities
refused to aid her. When her
youngest son became i'll, she be-

PANIC AGAIN ON
IN NATIONAL

With the leagueleading Cuos
running true to form by making
a disastrous start on their final
swing through the East, the panic
was on again in the National
League today. Although the
Bruins still are five games in
front of the Pirates, the former
showed signs of going into one
of their typical road slumps by
losing both ends of a double,
header to the lowly Boston
Braves yesterday, II to 4 and 2
to 0.
The Cubs, winning 18 out Of
20 games in their home stand,
went to pieces in the seventh
inning of the first game yeSter-
day when the Braves routed Pat
Malone and scored nine runs.
The Bruins were guilty Of five
errors. In the nightcap Ben
Cantwell limited the Cubs to
seven hits and out-pitched Bush
and Smith.
After winning their eleventh
game in succession behind Bill
Swift's pitching, 8 to 8, with the
aid of six-run rally in the first
inning, the Pirates were beaten
by Freddy Heimach, portly
Brooklyn southpaw, in the night
cap by a 4 to 2 count. Hits by
Clancy and Wright featured the
Dodgers attack on Bill Harris.
Otis thirty-second homer and
five straight hits by Joe Moore
enabled the Giants to nose out
Cincinnati. Z to S. With Jumbo
Jim Elliott tightening up in the
pinches, the Phillies staggered to
the wire ahead of the Cardinals,
6 to S. Dizzy" Dean was the

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 (U.S0,
The power and utility interests OF
New York State will, as usual, &C

It was at first expected that

schools, but delay in approval Of
the plans will make that impos-

which is being vacated by the
white schools for occupation of
the new Roosevelt High School,

The "Red" team composed Of

NEW MEN AID
To PH|LL|ES

Flint Rhem has, been the differ
ence between the Phils of last sea-
son and the fighting club Of this
year. The former st. Louis
pitcher has shown he has lots Of
confidence and during the recent
sinking spell of the Phils Rhem
did his best to win a game and
stop the slide Of the Quakers. He
was not equal to the occasion, but
he pitched courageously and his
team mates praised his skill and
willingness to throw his arm out
for the cause. Satisfied, Rhem is
a valuable man for any team.
Then there is the case of Ray
Benge. He was the pitcher who
finally went to the mound and
halted the downward trip Of the
Quakers. Benge beat Boston to
tack up his tenth victory of the
season. Never reaching the
heights a pitcher of his ability
should have attained, Benge has
one interesting speciality. That is
checking the Phils when they are
on losing Streaks. He has. slumps
himself and he is not afraid to go
in and do his best to halt the en-
emy when the Phillies are taking
the count. Three times this sea-
son he checked losing streakS.

HITTING
FAVORS DAVIS

The Cardinals were accused Of
putting it over on the late Will
liam Baker, of the Phillies, in
that famous Jimmy Wilson deal
a few years ago. Virgil Davis,
big, slow and not too smart be-
hind the bat, was the excess
baggage of that deal, but today
the Phillies' owner would not
trade Davis even up for any
catcher in the league.
Davis was second-string man
for the Phillies for two. years.
His arm was sharp but mac.
curate. He did not know how to
handle the pitchers. In fact,
he was a bust, but owner Baker
held onto him.
Philadelphia fans howled every
time he went in to relieve Peck
Lerian, the smart backstop Of
the Quakers of those days. Well,
Davis was happy to be in the
big league. He announced that
fact every time he came to the
plate, for he certainly did take
his cut at the ball.
Finally Got Chance
Peck Lerian was stricken i'll
and died on the eve Of the open
ing of the season. There was no
one on the bench to turn to but
Davis and he made the frank
statement that he would do the
best he could but he was not as
good a backstop as the great
master mechanic who had passed
out Of the game forever. Davis
went in and his hitting kept him
behind the bat.
AS he worked day in and day
out Davis became a good receiver
and a clever handler Of pitchers.
The mound workers liked to have
his big hulk to shoot at.
The other day Davis name ap-
peared in the first five Of Ma
tional League hitters. He has
made more than one hundred
hits and on Thursday he helped
Benge break the Phils' losing
streak with three timely hits. It
was not the first time this season
that the bulky backshop's bat has
figured in the Quaker victory.

j. 8. LEAVE SUIT
FILED IN D. {.

Another suit to force Govern.
ment officials to grant leave
which had accumulated before
the economy act became effective
was filed in District Supreme
Court yesterday.
With the filing of the suit, Jus
tice Jennings Bailey ordered the
Secretary of the Navy, o. M.
Hustvedt, commander in the Navy
and production officer at the
Navy Yard, and Rear Admiral H.
V. Butler, commandant of the
Navy Yard, to show cause Sep.
tember 10, why a writ of man.
damuS should not be granted to
compel them to grant leave to
employees.
Attorneys William E. Leahy
and William j. Hughes, jr., filed
the suit for Alfred M. Gregory
typiSt at the Navy Yard. He is
a member of the National Fed.
Grafton of Federal Employees and
other members of the federation,
who had leave accumulated be.
fore the economy act became eff.
tective, will have their rights to
take it decided by the outcome
Of this case.
A similar suit was filed several
months ago for the same purpose,
but was abandoned when it was
learned that the period during
which the leave of that person
could be taken would have ex.
plred before a court hearing could
be had.
