AII-Stor Game Brings
3-Doy Truce in Hot

BY BILL WHITE,


While big league baseball shines
its shoes and goes society" out
in st. Louis for the all-star game,
pleasing three-day hush settles
over the swirling for first place in
both leagues.
The next three days will give the
Cincinnati Reds and the Detroit
Tigers time to gain a deep breath
after again reaching the top and it
will give the Cleveland Indians and
the Brooklyn Dodgers ample time
to review yesterdays shortcomings
that cost them the league leads.
The Reds, no strangers to the top
rung, climbed there by dint of
4-3 gift from the Chicago Cubs and
the Dodgers double defeat. The
Reds scored the winning run in the
eighth on a walk, single, Billy Her.

and Morrie Arnovich's walk to ruin
Bill Lees bid for his seventh VIC
tory.
Meanwhile, in Boston. the Brooks,
cheered by large group of loyal
home folk, bowed in a pair Of
heartbreakers, 10 and 2-1. Whit
Wyatt lost a four-hitter in the
first game when Johnny Cooney
singled home Eddie Miller. Then
the Bees got away to lead in the
second game and hung on stubborn
ly to win, 2-1, as Bill Posedel and
Dick Coffman parceled out seven
| hits.
In the American League the Cleve-
land Indians kicked away the Amer
lean League lead with a ninth
inning bloWup in their game with
the White SoX, coupled with De-
| troit's well-earned victory over the
Browns.
Young Bobby Feller and old Ted
Lyons pitched superbly for eight
innings and then the Sox took full
advantage of wild streak and
scored two runs without making
hit, to win, 81. Lyons 6-hitter cer-
tainly earned him the victory.
The Tigers climbed to the top Of
the league and all over their st.
Louis cousins" So. The victory,
10th for Detroit in II games
with the Brownies, was achieved
largely through LynWood School
boy RoWe's shit pitching.
The other National League
change in standings saw the Pitts
burgh Pirates erase 5-game losing
streak by sweeping a 4-game series
with the Cards. They won yesterday
by 7-6 and Al to capture fifth
place. Although outhit in both
games the Bucs punched their blows
and coasted home on the power
hitting of Vince Di Maggie and
Maurice Van Robays.
The third-place New York Giants
split with the Phillies, winning the
first game, Ga, with 4-run first
inning outburSt, but losing the
second, "a, as the combination of
81 Johnson's pitching and Joe
Marty's hitting proved too much for
them.

Yankees beat the Athletics, 6-3 in

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Washington's weary collection of
ballplayers of varying caliber today
launched a brief but welcome vaca-
ton, all the Mats except Pitcher
Dutch Leonard and Third Baseman
Cecil Travis relishing the three-day
rest occasioned by the All-Star
game tomorrow at st. Louis.
Leonard and Travis, the Nation
ais representatives in the annual
collision of the elite of the Amer
ican and National Leagues, were no
items of envy to the remainder of
the club, content to fish or rush
home to visit the family.
To Manager Bucky Harris the
loafing period represented a chance
to align his pitching staff in more
orderly fashion and perhaps null
over miracle or two which would
serve as derrick to hoist his outfit
out of the cellar.
With the invasion of the Western
clubs starting Thursday the Mats
apparently will require all the vigor
they can recoup in their midsum-
mer lull, for first to battle the Mats
will be the pennant-contendin De-
troit Tigers and following them will
be the equally pennant-hungry.
even snarling, Cleveland Indians.
Meanwhile there has been ample
evidence the natives of the village
are starving for baseball, even with
the Mats possessing team which
may finish lower than any WASH
ington club in 20 years. Some 49,
900 fans saw the Mats and the Ath-
letics in their double-header battle
of the basement on Thursday and
10000 reported to Griffith Stadium
yesterday to view the team split a
double-header with the Red Sox.
Grove Checks Mats in First Game.
Naturally that situation won't
exist with a team which continues
to lose. The pro-Boston attitude Of
yesterdays crowd reflected a shift
in sentiment against the Mats, but
the fact such gathering could be
lured at all should spur the man
with the awning eyebrows to fortify
his club.
The Mats were no sensation in
that first game, what with being
held to seven scattered hits by the
ancient Lefty Grove and giving
their own Leonard miserable sup
port in losing, IL. -Four of the
Red Sox runs were unearned.
Leonard was nicked for run in
the second inning, when Ted Will
liams walked, scooted to third on
Lou Finney's sharp single to center
and scored as Jim Tabor forced
Finney at second. Then came a
hectic second inning, in which Bos-
ton produced four runs, with con-
siderable aid by Catcher Rick Fer
rell and Shortstop Jimmy Pofahl,
who committed grievous errors.
Washington scored it's only run
in the fifth inning when Ferrell
tripled to left and scored on Leon
ards scratch single, while the Red
Sox added single runs in the sixth
and seventh frames. Leonard, who
yielded nine hits, was yanked for
Pinch-hitter Johnny Welaj in the
eighth and Alexandra Carrasquel,
returned to the Mats by Jersey City,
hurled hitless ninth.
The second engagement was more
heartening, with little Rene Mon
teagudo surviving an 11-hit attack
to register IA victory and snap
the Mats three-game losing streak.

The young keystone combination

Washington's latest sandlot sensa-

in by Carlton McClanahan, short

ketmen to defeat Plaza Tile, first
half champions, So, and pull an
upset yesterday on the North Ellipse.
The game was one of the best on
the city's sandlots this year, with
both teams playing errorless ball
all the way. Highlight of the con-
test was a seemingly impossible
triple play in the fifth inning that
stopped Plaza scoring threat and
broke the teams spirit. With men
on first and second, McClanahan
speared a high, hot drive far to his
right and tossed to Catloph to
double the runner at second. Cat
loph then tossed to Joe Sacre at

pense of Germany, but also at that of Britain. Our exports to South America doubled in January as compared with 1889. The Import-Export bank financed sale of nearly $6,0O0, 900 worth of railroad equipment to Brazil The New York cor poration which built the piers of Lima, Peru, has now contracted to build others at Coronel, Chile. Fire-Stone is building a new rubber factory in Brazil. There are other signs of progress.
 But all this has distinct limits unless ways can be contrived to import more from South America. International trade must be roughly an exchange if it is to be built on permanent foundation. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce is already hot on the track to discover non-competitive products which can be more literally bought by the United States in the south and to en- courage such trade.
 All this has an importance beyond the purely commercial. Rivals for this trade do not hesitate to use methods of economic compulsions shrewdly devised to force great areas into political spheres of influence" Every dollars worth of trade the United States can secure thus has benefit beyond the purely commer- cial We do not want any such political spheres of influence" But unless we hold our share of the trade, others have just that much greater opportunity to establish them

Waterbury should feel considerable pride in the announcement of the annual meeting of the American Brass Con- pany and the return to office of all it's officers, headed by that pioneer of Wa terbury industry, John A. Coe. It is a matter of pride with us that The Amer ican Brass Company, horn of the genius and labor of local men, remains still local institution despite it's control by corporation of nationwide ramifications.
 The rise of Waterbury as city of prom thence came only with the rise of It's many and diverse manufacturing estab- lishments. The city is still dependent on the continued rise of these selfsame plans whose thousands of employees pro vide the sinews of community living. Wa terbury still clings possessively to its her. itage as pioneer in brass manufacture. We hope it always will
 Many are the names that are linked with this city's industrial leadership. Ger tainly that of John A. Coe is not the least of these. To those of us of this generation he has always been the kindly, intelligent, industrious, good citizen of Waterbury. With lifetime of useful endeavor and accomplishment behind him he might well seek retirement, but prefers instead the busy whlrl Of the Work-day. His continued retention as head of one of our great brass companies compliments not only him but the city in which he lives.

Obey That Impulse

Along about this time of year comes the Great American Urge. The first sunny days, the first birds singing around the corner of the house, and your aver age mans hands itch for the heft of spade or the feel of paint brush. And his wife's thoughts lightly turn to slip covers and new paper for the dining room. It's laudable urge, and, what with business little better during the past year, and prices holding steady, there ought to be an awful lot of sticking up going on pretty soon.
 The best of it is that, especially on the outside work on the house and lawn, you not only get the satisfaction and joy out of it yourself, but the sum-total of it all raises the tone and looks of the whole town, and everybody shares in the gen. eral brightening-up. Let's make the old town shine this spring as never before!
