Pete APPLETON
SHOWS COURAGE

Continued from LIST Sports Page)
the plate forced Chapman. Still
the situation was perilous, but
Appleton fed a diet of jug-handled
curves to Vosnik, who flied to
Travis.
Where Appleton received aid
from the gods of baseball was in
the fourth inning. With one out,
Cronin doubled and Higgins hit
a swerving line drive to center
field. 1t looked like a sure-shot
double, but by some miraculous
feat Almada got to the ball, dove
and stretched out his gloved hand.
The ball stuck in the pocket of
the mitt, and one Of the great
catches Of all time was jotted
down in the record books.
Two runs were killed by that
catch. Chapman then came to bat
and hit one down toward left
center field. Travis, agile as a cat
on the play, made a backhanded
stop, and Cronin could not leave
second oase. There was luck
there, plenty of luck; but the
statement still stands that Apple
ton rose to occasion after occasion,
and was master Of the situation
clear through to the end.
Zeke Bonura delighted the
crowd and brought a wide smile
to the wrinkled face of Cactus
Jack Garner, who sat in his Gus
tomary seat behind the Washing
ton dugout. Bonura hit a smash
ing home run into the left-field
stands with Buddy Lewis on base,
and scored two runs that were
badly needed. The wind was blow
ing in from the bleachers, and
Zeke's crack just had to have
plenty of muscle behind 1t.
Cecil Travis hit home run IN
the second inning. The ball hit
in the platform beyond the field,
fair by the width of the palm OF
your hand, but clearly and lndiS-
putably a fair ball.
Bucky Harris rearranged his
outfield after Taft Wright mis-
judged a drive into right field.
Johnny Stone went back to right
and AL Simmons returned to left
field. It is entirely likely that
Simmons will remain in left field
for a while, regardless of whether
left or right-handed pitching con-
fronts the Nationals. Wright will
be placed under the special
tutelage of Clyde Milan.
Buddy Myer had a perfect day
at bat and in the field, He dou-
bled and singled, walked and sac
rificed in four trips to the plate.
We've talked about Appleton's
pitching. but Pete babbled about
his hitting when the stakes were
He got three blows. two
of them very lucky, but still hits.
His triple went into the records
when Chapman and Cramer al
most crashed fielding what should
have been a common garden fly
ball.

Therell be many thousands
of aSs-combers lingering about
after the migratory schools have
departed for their saltwater
haunts. but these little fellows
are hardly worth their trouble,
and certainly not suited for the
frying pan. These small fish are
regular torments to rockfiSh
anglers, for they keep pecking
away until they leave only bare
hooks. A good method Is to keep
the bait In motion, for not only
does 1t ward off some Of the
thieves, but 1t attracts the
gamey pan rock, who never go
in much for dormant lures.
And rockfish will soon be COM
ing in schooling fashion. Already
q few forerunnerS have been
boated to remind us that 1t
takes locust blossom time to
bring them in numbers. Herring
have failed to show their true
form, although small smatter-
ings occasionally put in their
appearance. These fish, to date,
have only been taken by illegal
dip-netters from the shore Of
our friendly neighbor, Virginia.
A goodly number Of snaggerS
have tried their hand without
any luck whatsoever. Just when
the herring runs are looked for
still remains a question.

Foresees Danger

If England offers many more
concessions to Hitler, or per-
mits him to dominate Czecho-
slovakia, she will in the end be
arming Hitler against herself.
It is incredible that any such
stupidity could be contemplated
by any person of common sense.
Can't the world leaders see
Hitler's fiendish plan, to use
the same excuse Of German
minorities in all other countries
in which they exist? It can
happen here. It can happen
anywhere. There's always a good
handful of them in every coun-
try. I suggest this country de-
port these trouble makers
without trial, or give the Ameri-
can Legion the power to handle
them.
Just look into a Gold Star
Mothers face, and you will find
the answer to our ultimate war.
Germany has been a militaristic
country for over 60 years, teach
ing their young ones how to kill.
Army discipline has been i'm
bedded so firmly in their minds
that they know nothing else.
It's no wonder then that they
have such hatred against re-
ligion of any kind. If they were
religious they would not hate,
and where you don't hate, you
don't want war.

will, if not checked, destroy us.
