Recently the Strand Theater Ush-
ers defeated the State Theater Ush-
ers in hard ball contest at Wood
bury. Ace Shea defeated Duce Shea
by a score of 3 to 0. Bill Pascucci
caught splendid game for the
the Strand boys and belted a home
run and double. Kal and O'Neil
were hard hitters for the State. Ace
Shea was not happy over the VIC
tory as the victim was his brother.
Robert zoeller umpired the game
and did a great job of it and all
the boys appreciate 1t. The State
Ushers make quite a fuss over the
decisions of the umpire but the
Strand Ushers are willing to give
the State return game to prove
the victory was not a freak.

Cubs Second in Opinion of

Need Help
BY ROBERT WEBB
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Boston, Mass, July 26-(UP) -
Talking over the Bees western trip
with Mr.. Casey Stengel:
"I'd say the Pirates were the best
team we saw in the west Arky
Vaughan at shortstop is playing the
best game of his life They've
got the hardest infield in the league
to get ball through I'd say
they rate better Unfolding than the
Cubs Handley is still making
wonderful plays.
1.-THE Pirates haven't got enough
good pitchers but Traynor is will
ling to use three every game If he
needs to . Pittsburgh is a good
team at winning close ones
they'll get you runs when you need
them Not eight or ten in one
inning but they can generally get
one or two in a close game.
"Next to the Pirates are the Cubs
:. the change in managers might
make some of the players do better
Demaree has been poor this
season Perhaps he'll start to
come u. Carl Reynolds is the sur
prise of that team No one ex-
pected he'd be any good after July
l But he's still in there.
Dean Smart Pitcher
Dean didn't have all his speed
when we saw him . But he's
pitching like a smart pitcher should
His control was perfect . He
threw only four hard pitches to us
all game The Giants are up
against it :. Bought two ballplay-
ers and now they need some more.
1--WE felt great about winning that
night game in Cincinnati Be-
fore the game, everyone thought the
Reds would be only game and. a
half out of first after it was over
:. The Giants had lost two after
noon games and the scores were up
on the board The fireworks were
pretty The Reds were ahead
81 We had two on and Wham
West hits the ball into the righa
field bleachers.
1.-THE Reds got three men on in
the ninth with nobody out
could see Hutch in the bullpen but
I decided I'd let Erickson lose the
game himself Then We get a
force play at the plate, Cuccinello
and Warstler make a double play
and it's all over.
Mueller Gets Rest
About my own team? i. I'm 60
ing to use Lopez for a while and
give Mueller a rest He's been
overworked, so many long, tight
games in hot weather Shoffner
threw for five minutes today =.
In two weeks, expect he can re-
lieve :. I like two of my pitchers
better than you do Refs and
Erickson They've both got a
good sinker, that's why.
Fletcher will improve Mag
CERT has helped us plenty His
arm is only fair and he's slow
But there isn't better right-hand-
ed pinch hitter in baseball We
lost two games in Pittsburgh be-
cause we didn't have a good right
fielder. l sent CAIRNS and Moore
home :. Then I couldn't use them
West, Cuccinello, and Cooney
are hurt too But I've got to use
them :. Sure, We'll play better ball
now we're home"

Communism Upside Down

The Chinese have the reputation
among occidentals of doing things back
ward and sometimes one is led to be-
lieve that maybe they have the right
idea after all.
Take, for instance, Chinese commu-
nism. Instead of fostering international
conspiracy in behalf of the industrial
proletariat, Chinese Communists are re-
ported to be country-loving peasants
with the nationalistic ideal of China for
the Chinese and defeat for the Japanese
aggressor.
Instead of taking advantage of the
death struggle between the Rising Sun
and hostile Marking government that
has spent thousands Of dollars and lives
in civil war with them, Chinese Com
munists have cried out against fratricide
and called for united front against the
invader.
Backward China has Communists who
are patriots. American Communists
please take note.

MARYLAND and P. W. A.

Maryland has developed into one of
the problem States" as far as the Public
Works Administration is concerned. 1t
is not grabbing for funds strenuously
enough.
Some weeks ago it was pointed out
that Maryland was being far outdone by
its neighbor, Virginia, in the matter of
obtaining P. w. A. loans and grants
Even when allowance was made for the
fact that Virginia is larger State with
a larger population, Maryland was not
getting its proportionate share.
The announcement was followed by
an educational" meeting at the Uni
versity of Maryland. Public officials
from the far corners of the State gath
cred to hear P. w. A. officials explain
the procedure to be followed in apply
ing for funds Sand urge that Maryland
ask for at least $3oO00,0OO more.
The viewpoint of many Marylanders,
however, was expressed by Cumberland
councilman yesterday when that town
turned down P. w. A. grant for hos
pital addition.
"The Federal Government" he said.

cratic" slips to the 100000 checks being
loaned out over the country. Certainly
that would be playing politics with cor
porate misery" in big way.
Fortunately. the r. F. c. has taken
steps to nip any such tendency in the
bud; even If it costs Senator George his
seat.
The thought does occur, though, that
it might have been a good idea for the
r. F. G. to release 4 more complete bill
Of particulars against Mr.. Dunlap. What
sort Of political activities" had he been
engaging in, for instance, and what was
the nature of the repeated requests"
made to him to desist? And what did
Mr.. Dunlap reply to these repeated
requests? Did he just wire his boss,
Sorry, no can do," or what?
After all, the shedding of full light on
Mr.. Dunlap's indiscretions doubtless
would make the disciplinary action of
the r. F. c. that much more impressive.
1t would show, for instance, that they
can not be intimidated by the hired
hands.
And it might also blaze a trail in
unmistakable fashion beyond which no
public official might allow his political
impulses to lure him-even on behalf
of Lawrence Camp.
Evening star., 1938-08-20
Purging the r. F. C..

Doubtless none but the most virtuous
motives impelled the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to purge" itself
of Edgar B. Dunlap, Georgia attorney,
alleged to be an active supporter of
Senator George in the latters primary
fight.
From the very nature Of its activities.
1t Is obvious that the r. F. c. must be
scrupulously careful not to allow tinge
