CHAMPS ADVANCE
TO SECOND SPOT
Although Out-Hit, New York
Batters Leonard, Master
son For FL, 81 Wins

WASHINGTON, Sept. S. Up -
The New York Yankees, a team
that just won't be downed, battled
back into second place in the Amer
lean league today by grabbing two
difficult decisions over the Wash
ington Senators, 2 to l and 8 to 1.
The world champions were held
to four runs in the first 16 of the
days 18 innings as both Dutch
Leonard and Young Walter Master
son made things as tough as they
could,
Leonard allowed only seven hits
in the first game to eight the Sen
ators collected from Rookie Ernie
Bonham and except for an error
New York's first run might not
have been scored.
In the second inning he walked
Charley Keller, who stole second
and went to third on an infield out.
Babe Dahlgren tapped in front OF
the plate and Keller vas trapped
off third, but got back safely when
Cecil Travis dropped the throw
and Dahlgren camped on first.
With two out Bonham himself
singled Keller home.
The Senators quickly tied the
score on Jim Bloodworth's single
an infield out and Jim Pofahls
double, but after the second inning
they could do nothing with Bon
ham, who helped himself to his
fourth straight victory by getting
another single in the fourth to pu'
the deciding run on third ahead o:
a double by Joe Gordon.
M~asterson held the champions tt
one hit for four innings and four fol
seven, but even so the Yanks con
trolled the ball game and finally
blasted through six runs in the las
two innings.

Albemarle's ace moundsman, j.
W. Lisk, returned to form today
and pitched his team to a 6-3 win
over San Diego, Cal, in the third
game of the American Legion Jun
ior baseball championship series
here. It was Albemarle's first vic
tory
Lisk, whose arm had troubled
him in his most recent starts,
pitched a steady game and showed
Improvement as the game
progressed. Seven of the nine hits
that he gave up were collected in
the first three innings.
Bill Williams, San Diego cap
tain, moved in from his shortstop
position to start the game for the
west coasters, but was shelled
from the mound in the fifth and
Bradshaw pitched fine relief bail,
permitting only one hit for the rest
of the game.
Both teams tailed once in the
first inning and San Diego scored
again in the second. This was the
only time that the Californians
held the lead. Albemarle scored
two in the third and went farther
ahead with two more in the fifth
as Craig Lisk's triple drove in 30
runners.
In tomorrow's game Roxburgh,
big right handler who hurled the
first game for San Diego, will op-

Hagerstown is fortunate in
that there is less than one-half
Of one per cent foreign born

AS a matter of fact it is my opin-
ion that before many weeks are
history, the Heinies will be on
the run. Either that or they
will be buried so deep in old
Mother Earth that it will take
more than dynamite to get 'em
out for the long trek back to
Berlin. But the fact remains
that officials in Washington say
that there are agents of we'll
known dictators in this coun-
try - and they ought to know.
That being true we are safe in
assuming that even in Hagers-
town and Washington Coun-
ty there are those who would
be delighted to see the dictators
remain in power and eventually
get into our hair.
1t seems to me that there is
only one solution to this prob
lem. Those found preaching
"isms" in this country should
first be placed in concentration
camps. Then on Sundays and
holidays they would be taken
into the mountains and turned
loose and the various sports
mems clubs invited to track 'em
down, with suitable prizes at
SO much per head. After all the
cost of clay pigeons is increas-
ing and the new sport would
improve ones shooting eye. And,
too, it would be great training
for the hounds.
America is no place for hu-
man foreign rats, snakes or
pinks. So don't hesitate to
carry out the Presidents wishes
and report those, who. while
enjoying liberty in this country,
preach the destruction Of our
Democracy and all it repre-
sents. In other words, don't be
a sucker and say "it can't hap
pen here" Write the Federal
Bureau Of investigation and let
those boys take it from there on
out. They know all the an
swers and they never miss!
