Linoleum Becoming Popular
As Bathroom Wall Covering

Linoleum is becoming increas-
ingly popular as a covering for
bathroom walls, according TO the
latest reports. Builders Of new
homes and homeowners who are
remodeling are alike showing en-
thusiasm for the material.
One of the chief reasons, aside
from its general utility. is the wide
variety of patterns and designs
which are available. There are 80

many patterns that practically
every taste can be satisfied. To

harmonizing molding strips are
available in most cases.
From the standpoint of general
prscticability linoleum stands high.
Being flexible, smartly rounded eff
fects can be achieved at corners;
the same can be said of open
ings. The material is waterproof

and hence washable, which is a
big point to consider.
In addition to being washable,
it is easy to clean and strong soap
solutions will not harm it in the
least. Finally, it is very durable
and will not require repairs or
requirements for years.

Testing Hockey Task
Faces Mackenzie in
Rebuilding Eagles

The baleful tidings that Red Mac
kenzle must rebuild the ice hockey
Eagles from stem to stern, basement
TO attic, won't cause as much con-
sternation among the teams fol-
lowers as you might expect. The Gus
toners will shrug it off with un-
1elgned indifference because they re-
member Red lifted the Eagles out of
nowhere to the league championship

The picture isn't bright but Mac
kenzie isn't crossing bridges until
he comes to them. After all, hockey
in general has been hard hit by a
loss of man power because of the
war and Red figures all clubs are on
equal footing in the feverish search
for material. Some coaches may

By JUDSON BAILEY,

The Pittsburgh Pirates are cutting
capers that must make their Ma

time the Buccaneers brig sails upon
the scene these days.
During the last two weeks the
bold Buccos have made every team
they faced walk the plank-winning
16 out of 19-and the Cincinnati
Reds, their latest victims, apparently
have gone down for the last time.
The Pirates raided the Reds again
yesterday, rs, to send the world
champions to their fifth straight de-
feat and kill whatever faint hopes
they may have had for another
pennant.
Vince Di Mag Hits Homer.
Pittsburgh was outhit, 1911, but
scored three runs in the fourth on
Vince Di Maggio's homer, and four
runs on five hits in the seventh.
This left the Pirates nine games
out of first place, just close enough
to keep the st. Louis Cardinals and
Brooklyn Dodgers from feeling they
have the fight strictly between them
selves.
The Cardinals took So setback

Lefty Vern Olsen held the Red
birds to four hits and received timely
batting support from his teammates.

New York sliced Washington's
advantage to 4-3 with a brace of
runs in the sixth. Heinrich was
safe on Jim Vernon's wide toss to
Carrasquel, covering first, and Di
Maggio's single sent him to third.
Di Maggie took second as Carras-
quel tossed out Bill Dickey and both
runners scored when George Sell
kirk pumped single to right.
The Yankees made menacing ges-
lures in the, seventh and eighth,
but on each occasion CarraSQuel

ninth it appeared he would require
the services of relief pitcher when
he threw three straight balls to
Johnny Sturm, but he finally forced
him to ground out to Vernon and
disposed of Rolfe and Heinrich on
flies to Buddy Lewis in right field.
Successive singles by George Case

Lewis forced Cramer at second.
Cecil Travis drilled single to

Washington manufactured a run
without benefit of hit in the

up Carrasquels bunt and threw

Marines Corner
Gridiron Mart
For Officers
Nearly Every Member
Of Training Class
A Varsity Athlete
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6-The
Leathernecks are cornering the pig
skin market, and no wonder.
I'VE want 'em tough" declares
Col. C. B. Gates, a former tackle at
the University of Tennessee and
commanding officer of the marine
officers training class under inStruc-
ton at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Virtually every member Of the
basic school romped on a gridiron
last fall. Those who didn't were
stars in some other sport. They're
the only guys tough enough to
stand the strain.
Picks Brawn over Brain.
IF I had to pick between brains
and brawn," explains Col. Gates,
I'D take Drawn every time. An Off
Ger not only must have the intelli-
gence to lead but he must be man
enough to make it stick What good
is an officer who can't march 20
miles and then pitch into a battle
comparatively fresh?"
The colonel says marine officers
Systematically are choosing leading
athletes from all parts of the coun-
try for training as officers. An ordi-
nary bookworm couldn't stand up
to the test.
But" he cautions, don't get the
idea you have to be dumb to be
tough. Fortunately, all the men in
training here are good students as
well. We have tried to strike a
happy medium"
A corps of marine officers visited
virtually every university in the East
last year, interviewing and exam
ing applicants for commission
training. Only 20 per cent passed
the physical requirements.
Play Taboo at School.
Play is strictly out at the school.
Everything is aimed toward making
first rate officers quickly and no
monkey business. Just suggest that
one of the former gridders toss
trench mortar shell as though it
were a football and listen for this
curt reply:
"Whatdaya think this is, kinder
garten? Any 6-year -old child knows
you don't throw things around like
that. Whatdaya wanta do, make
the marines appear like a bunch of
simple school kids?"
Among some of the gridders are
Henry Apolskis. Marquette lineman;

Give Up Football
Becomes Little Hoyu
This Fall; Mentor
Bocks Ambition

Elmer Raba, twice an all-Metro-
politan backfield choice and prob
ably this sectors outstanding scho-
lastic football player, will discard
his gridiron activities at the request
of Manager Joe Mccarthy of the
Yankees, who has detected baseball
promise in the husky l7-year-old
outfielder.
Raba. Gonzaga High athlete who
is slated to shift to Georgetown
Prep this fall. worked out with the
Yankees yesterday at Griffith Sta
dunn and off his showing has been
invited to toll with the league lead
ers at Yankee Stadium for several
days next month.
Possessor of an exceptionally
strong and accurate throwing arm,
fast and personable, Raba displayed
a forkside batting stroke that cap
tured the praise of Buddy Myer,
Coach Earl Coombs of the Yankees,
who swatted fungoes to him, relished
his fielding technique. The young
ster made an impression.
Mccarthy Opposed to Grid.
Mccarthy, though, extracted q
promise from Raba that he would
forsake football. That promise has
been indorsed and will be respected
by Orrel Mitchell, who coached
Raba at Gonzaga and who will
handle his athletic activities at
Georgetown Prep.
"Raba's future is in baseball" !"
saws Mitchell. "I had intended play
ing him this fall, letting him handle
our passing and punting with little
body contact, but Mccarthy says
he'll have to give up football alto
gether if he wants to become al
filiated with the Yankees.
Sure, losing Raba is going to be
tough on our football team, but it'll
work out best for him. The boy
needs developing, of course, but he
has the equipment to be a fine
major league baseball player. II
Mccarthy believes football will in
terfere with his baseball future
and he definitely does-Raba isn't
going to play any more football"
Worked Out With Mats.
Raba worked out with the Mats
for two or three weeks last summer
and although Manager Bucky Har-
ris and Coaches Clyde Milan and
Ossie Bluege liked his baseball be-
havior, Washington allowed him to
slip away.
Like Charley Keller of the Yanks.
who played a hop, skip and jump
from Griffith Stadium at Maryland
University several years ago, and
Benny Steiner, former Central High
athlete farmed out by the Boston
Red Sox, Raba some day may pop
up and plague the Mats.
An ambitious youth, the robust
RabA was enthusiastic over the re-
ception given him by the Yankees.
Joe Di Maggie, George Selkirk, Red
Rolfe and Keller were among those
who admired Raba's style and told
him so. They, like Mccarthy, be-
lieve the boy is worth developing,
so local scholastic football will be
stripped of one of its most brilliant
performers. B. H.

Taverns Threatening
To Again Ruin Cameo
Mines Title Hopes

It appeared to be the same old
story for Cameo Furniture-and
the same old ending, as Connie
Wyche's crew prepared to meet
Little Tavern this afternoon in the
second game of crucial series that
will decide the Industrial Leagues
second half champion. They we're
to play on the Ellipse at o'clock.
The Tavern tossers, making a
belated stretch drive for the flag,
pared Canoes once healthy lead
to single game yesterday by taking
Al decision. A three-run rally In
the third launched on a miscue by
First Baseman Jack James, enabled
the winners to overcome one-run
Cameo lead.
Walter James started for the
losers and was yanked for Otis
Printz in the third after yielding
six hits and two bases on balls.
Printz tossed a one-hit game the
rest of the way.
Jennings, who is slated to go back
to the hill today, and Wheatley
combined to hold Cameo to seven
scattered hits.

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Philadelphia's no longer apathetic
Athletics, who have dealt the Ma
tionals many of their most embar-
RAISING moments of the season, will
battle the fluttery knuckler of Dutch
Leonard tonight at Griffith Stadium.
Leonard, in seeking his sixth
straight victory, will attempt to
check the humiliation of the Mats,
who have been beaten 10 times in
II games with Philadelphia.
The Athletics, seven and a half
games ahead of the Mats in fifth
place and only short hop from the
first division, represent nifty STEP
ping stone to Washington. With the
last five clubs in the league as
crowded as two in a telephone booth
the Mats are sensing an opportunity
to rise.
1t will be a merry collection of
Mats who will board a sleeper for
Boston tomorrow night providing
they spank the AS here tonight and
tomorrow, for despite their cellar
status the Mats still retain an OPP
portunity to escape complete ig-
nominy. A birthplace finish would
be a distinct achievement for them
and it isn't beyond hope
That Eastern road trip may bury
the Mats so deeply in the cellar it
will require an archaeological expedi-
ton to dig em out but, by the same
token, it may provide ladder to a
more esteemed station in American
League standings. Certainly the
Mats would be forced to improve on
their current record of one triumph
in IA games at Boston, Philadelphia
and New York.
Heavy Slate Ahead.
1t will be no easy week on the
road for the Mats, who are scheduled
for 10 games in seven days, with a
double header at Boston on Sunday
and twin bills at New York next
Wednesday and Thursday. 1t will
be tough climbing, but at least the
Mats are fortified with an additional
starting pitcher.
Restored to the status of starter
after two years on relief roles is
swarthy Alexandra Carrasquel, the
rubber armed Venezuelan who was
staked to a regular job yesterday by
Manager Bucky Harris after whip
ping the Yankees, 4-3, on nine hits.
Gosh, I wish Carrasquel would
take this game seriously enough to
study and work at It," unused Bucky.
Hes exceptionally good in pitching
to left-handed batters, has strong
arm and fields well, but he could be
so much better if some ambition
could be instilled into him"
Carrasquel was presented 40
lead by the Mats, who pounded

first inning and another Ia the
