was pessimistic in Florida, and
there is no reason to think that
he has changed his opinions.
It is patent to all who read as
they run, that the Nationals must
have a winning pitcher to hold
them up in the race. All things
considered, they've done about
everything asked of them with
what they had. A team can't do
any more than lead the league,
and Washington has done that.
But all races are somewhat alike.
Menow led in the Kentucky Derby
and also in the PreakneSS, but 1t
didn't win.
Last year at this time the Ath-
letics were the toast of the Amer
lean League. Came June and
the Athletics won one lone ball
game in the month. Washing
ton has done all right up to date,
but the trying days are to come.
TRIP WEST TO TELL
We will be able to form a more
worthwhile opinion on the Ma
tionals after this invasion of the
West. If they repeat their bril-
liant record of the home stay,
then certain judgments may, per
force, be revised. The play of
the Mats was not always brilliant,
but there's no getting behind the
fact that the team won seven
consecutive games against the
West and went to first place in
the race.

MATS DOWNFALL.
due TO FAILURE.
TO BUNCH HITS.
By FRANK BUCK" ONEILL

By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
DETROIT, May 16.-The high
flying Nationals, who only a few
days ago were perching on top
of the American League heap, are
in danger of seeing how the other
half-the second division - lives
unless they pull themselves out
of their present slump.
One thing explains the Griff-
mems slump-their failure to hit
in the pinches. For instance, II
men were left On bases in yeSter-
days game at Boston with the
Red Sox. The Mats nicked Bob
Grove for Is hits while Monte
Weaver allowed only eight. But
the Sox punched theirs for four
runs while our side scattered
theirs like confetti and put over
only three tallies.
BREAKS GO WRONG
Lady Luck, which was giving
our boys quite a play only a few
days ago, seems to have shown us
her cold shoulder. Yesterdays
game was lost by one run. So was
Saturdays encounter.
Peculiarly enough, it was q
former Nat, Joe Cronin, who put
washington on the Skids. It was
Joe who banged q single to open
the eighth with the score knotted
a. 3-3. A few seconds later
Cronin scored the payoff run on
Red DeSautelS' double.
For one brief moment in the
ninth, it appeared as If the old
fight was still in the Mats and
they might spoil Groves perform
ance. With two out, Zeke Bonura
walked and Johnny Stone crashed
a tremendous drive to center field.
There was a sure home run-So
the q, 900 spectators thought-but
Cramer made a lunge at the flying
pill which obIgingly parked in
Docs glove-and that was the
end.
WEAVER HURLS WELL
If there were any bright spots,
it was Monte Weaver's fine pitch
ing. Monte deserved a better fate
but his teammates didn't have it
when the heat was on. Bonura,
for example, accounted for two
runs with his fifth homer Of the
year, but Zeke couldn't turn it
ON in the pincheS. ZekN had q
chance to clinch the job as hero
for the day in the seventh when
he came up after Buddy Lewis
and AL Simmons had singled in
succession.
But the best Bananas" could
do was hit into a double play. On
other occasions he popped up.
Buddy Lewis did all right, slap
ping out three hits and scoring
two runs. Mel Armada showed the
Boston fans why he Is rated one
of the best defensive outfielderS in
by making two sensational
catches in the third inning.
MEL'S GREAT CHANCES
Chapman hit a ball that was
marked for the center field
bleachers but Melo intercepted the
pill for an out. A second later,
amazingly enough, Vosmik hit q
ball in almost the same spot and
Armada came through with a
carbon copy catch.
The Mats open q three-game
series here today with the clawlesS
Tigers who are resting in sixth
place, two notches below our own
boys. This may be the series that
may make or break the Mats for
the entire season, because if they
can bounce out of the slump and
catch the swift-moving Red Sox,
they may be in it all year. If their
slump continues the boys are
likely to have that whats the
difference" attitude. Jimmy De-
Shong, always a nemesis to De-
triot, will be on the hill against
Vernon Kennedy.

In the execution of their rul-

the National Park Service proves
itself to be an amiable old
fuddy-duddy. For no one has
yet seen an official out with .

It would be unkind to expect
them to appear in shorts so long
that they would look like a gath

Women's softball baseball in
Washington has grown in the

teams. The Government League

Girl Mound Star

The Aggies' team is built
around their pitcher, Marge Wat
son, a wiry, boyish type Of girl
who used to play on hard-ball
teams in Chicago. She is an
audit clerk in the triple-A and
her pitching makes her just
about tops in the league. In
three practice games before the
league matches began, she
pitched against mems teams
and won two of them. The men
were not batting left-handed
either.
Rival for the title of outstand-
ing Women's Softball player is
Ann LeiguS, all,around base
baller. She can play first base,
pitch, or catch on the National
All-StarS. It's all one to this
stocky, blond home-run queen.
Whether the Aggies or the ALL
Stars go to the women'S soft
ball world series in Chicago this
September depends entirely on
whether Marge can keep Ann
from seeking out homerS into
what passes for the bleachers on
Diamond Number 9 opposite the
Reflection Pool ON the Mall
Chicago Series
Each September at least 20
girls teams meet on Chicago's
Soldiers Field for a four-day
tussle. Losing q single game
eliminates a team from the run
ming. Last years winners were
the Cleveland ten. It will be
several years probably before q
Washington team can br ing
back a pennant, because Wash
ington Softban is new compared
to its long-Standing popularity in
the West.
But the District teams are
coming right along and with
good advice from their mascu-
line coaches and the increased
competition in the metropolitan
area, the Washington teams
will soon be in the brackets.
If you're down by the Lincoln
Memorial Pool on the following
dates, about S o'clock in the at
ternoon, you may be surprised
at the high caliber baseball be-
ing played:

No Sissy Game

Softball baseball is no longer
the sissified playground game
1t used to be when the ball was
a soft mushy mass with thick,
rough seams. The ball today is
very like q regular baseball,
though not quite so hard, with
a circumference Of twelve
inches instead of the regula-
ton nine. All players now wear
gloves.
The bats are not over 50
inches long and ~ inches in
diameter and are, in appear
ance, similar to . practice
fungo bat, though not as light.
Pitchers must throw under
handed and there are ten play
ers instead Of nine to q side.
The tenth player Is called q
short fielder" and may take
up his position any place on
the diamond, which Is usually
half way between first and
second bases.
The Softban league matches
have just begun. And the two
teams which will fight it out
for tho championship during
the summer will be the U. s.
Aggies, the Department Of Agri-
culture team, and the National
All4StarS, members Of the In
dependent league and an un-
sponsored team. The Internal
Revenue team has q chance to
pull an upset, for their game Is
based on team play rather than
centered around individual
stars.

Push Sewer Work

It is to be hoped that the City of Wa terbury will push all contemplated sewer construction work during the next twelve month period. We note that number ot sewer jobs are included among the listed projects for which bonds will be sold in the near future It will be to the city's advantage, we think, if considerable at tention is paid to extending our sewage system into all parts of the city, so that all may be linked with our major trunk lines.
 Following this, every effort must be spent in pushing construction ot an ade- quate sewage disposal plant for Water bury Whether or not this will follow the plan of many years ago and utilize land originally bought for this purpose in the south end of the city we don't know. It would be the most natural selection, for 1t will be far easier to carry sewage to this point than to one at the northern end of the town, the general slope being in the opposite direction.
 We are inclined to think that by the time Waterbury gets around to building it's municipal sewage plant every large community in the state will have been forced to this step, if it hasn't already taken it. It is becoming more and more evident that local, state, and federal off, cials are supporting anti-stream pollu- tion drives. It may be that two years hence will find federal statute enacted compelling adherence to snti-stream pollution mandates. Every effort is cer- tainly being bent right now to have such . law passed.
 It's costly job, of course, for in many sections of the country there is far less observance of sanitary laws than there are here in Connecticut. Fortunately for us we have learned our lesson and we know the tragic result of allowing natural water-courses to be transformed into open sewers. But much work remains to be done and only the complete cooperation of communities like Waterbury which still empty sewage directly into an open stream will materially benefit the cause. It is natural for this writer to propose more attention to local sewage needs having urged for so many years more complete regard for sanitary streams and ponds than we have actually manifest.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-05
City Service Careers

The City College of New York and Con- troller McGoldrick have cooperated in offering special course in city finances and accounting for civil service employees. Mr. McGoldrick's idea was to promote service among the workers in his office. The first lecture of the course was held the other evening, and more than 1900 city employees attended. Many had to be turned away for lack of space.
 Under it's new charter the metropolis will begin next summer to operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. There is even greater need than usual for crops of employees, particularly in the controllers depart ment, prepared for their duties and inter- ested in the job as career, not as polit- ical plum.
 The New Workers example is one which might well be followed in other cities. In fact, New York is really following some smaller communities which put their civic affairs on businesslike basis long ago. AS taxpayers become more aware of the burden of local taxes, they also become more interested in the spending of tax money.
