PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 27.-An
off day in Philadelphia isn't va
cation that one usually looks for
ward to, but the Tigers weren't
particularly upset at the prospect
even though they play ann exhibi-
ton game in Wilmington, Del, to-
night.
Yesterday was a good day 10
look back on and think over--Del
Bakers men upset the Athletics in
both ends of twi-night double
header, / to 0 and 4 to 2, and are
once more within striking distance
of the first division--two games
away, to be exact. Fourth place
money is something. even If it is
just enough to pay an income tax.
The Tigers also discovered. or
rather, took the wrappings off a
young catcher who may help them
reach a place in the first division.
Harvey Riebe Is his name. He
made his major league debut in
the second game, hit two doubles,
drove two runs over the plate.
tossed out a man who tried to
steal an dhandled the delivery of
Hal White in great fashion.
EARMARKs OF STAR
One swallow does not make q
summer and one game behind the
bat does not stamp catcher as
a major Lacquer, but Riebe showed
all the earmarks of one yesterday.
His two-bagger with the bases
loaded and one out in the second
inning of the second game sent
the two tying runs over the plate
and the Tigers went on from there
to win.
Ever since he came up from
Beaumont with Lipen, the young
backstop has done his chores in
exhibition games. Del Baker gave
him his chance last night and he
made the grade with a big "A"
The Tigers had to battle for
both games. The first was an old.
time pitchers battle between Vir-
gil Trucks and Russell Christopher.
Christopher had the best of it for
eight innings. But with two out
in the ninth, Detroit scored the
winning run.
York singled, Ned Harris walked
and Ross singled to left, scoring
York.
In the second game, the AS took
a 20 lead off Hal White in the
! first inning when Miles singled.
Valo doubled and Suder singled.
This was all. They made only two
more hits, both by Miles, the rest
of the game.
The Tigers tied it in the second
when York singled, Ross walked.
Lipon singled and Riebe doubled
with the bases filled.
The score remained 2-2 until the
sixth, when Davis made a two-base
wild throw of Ross grounder and
Lipon sent him home with single.
In the seventh. Harris singled and
McCosky scored him with double.
After the game with Winning
ton tonight, Del Bakers men 60
to Washington to meet the Sena-
tors tomorrow.

Three of the four golfers who
teed off today at Oakland Hills
in the semifinals of the Women's
District tournament have been in
the final at least once before. The
one exception is Irene Dill, dimin-
utive star from Detroit Golf Club.
Miss Dill's opponent was Mar

IT'S DIFFERENT NOW

A week ago most persons would
have counted Miss Dill out as soon
as il was learned she was TO play
Miss Row, a long hitter with a
well-rounded game. At least they
wouldn't have given Miss Dill
much chance.
But it's different now and all
because of what happened last
week in the Spring Lake tourna-
ment. Miss Dill. who has climbed
steadily the last two seasons, up
set her Red Run opponent in that
event. While Miss Dill'S supporters
conceded Miss Row a slight edge
today, they nevertheless insisted
that what has happened before
can happen again. Miss Dill lost
TO Sally Sessions in the Spring
Lake final.
Putting was Miss Dill's chief
concern. Oakland Hills billowy
green's have caused her no end of
trouble. just as they did yesterday
when she defeated Mrs. T. O. Nc

q possible cause of the explosion,
Navy officials pointed out that the
damage was not extensive, aside
from broken glass. A saboteur would
not have blown up one building, they
contended. The wrecked structure
was one of scores on the site.
officials also emphasized that the
explosion would not interfere with
the Navy's production schedule
The explosion was so. great that
the adjacent area was temporarily
alarmed. Pictures were knocked from
walls and windows ratified in homes
over a wide area.
Wives Await Word.
One worker coming from the mag

blast was so strong that workers in

W.P. B. Must Decide
Whether US. May Use
Kramer Junior High
School May Be Taken
Over if Priorities Are
Granted for Materials

Decision as to whether the Kramer
Junior High School Building in Ana
costa is to be used for Office space
for defense workers, or as school,
or whether it Is to be completed at
all during the war emergency, de-
pends upon finding yet to be made
by the War Production Board, now
considering these three alternatives,
it was made clear today at the Dis
trict Building.
This explanation was given after
the city heads yesterday signed an
agreement with Commissioner w. E.
Reynolds of the Public Buildings
Administration providing for use Of
the structure-now but % per cent
completed-as Government Office
space for the duration, If the w. P.
B. grants necessary priorities for
needed construction materials.
Only for War Duration.
The Commissioners said they
hoped it would be found possible to
complete the building, as first OBJ
jective, and that as a second matter
it could be used for school purposes,
but that they had no desire to ham
dicap necessary defense measures.
Under the agreement, which is
subject to a ruling by w. P. B., the
building would be used as Govern
ment Office space only for the dura-
ton of the war emergency and 1t
was stipulated also that the United
States would make no substantial
changes in plans without getting
the Commissioners approval, that
If changes were made the original
plan would be restored when the
building was returned to District
use and that the United States
would pay any extra costs as well as
maintenance and operation ex-
penses If it were used for defense
worker Offices.
The Board OF Education has asked
the w. p. B. for priority ratings for
completion of the structure as a
school. It is supported by numer-
GUS school and civic groups.
Would Overtax School
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent Of schools, has revealed
that the Anacostia Junior-Senior
High School, the only similar school
in the Anacostia area, now has 622
pupils above normal capacity and
that sos new pupils sare expected
from new housing developments in
the area. Thus, he has explained,
there are 1,128 pupils expected to
use the Kramer School when it is
completed. He added there would
still be an expectancy of some 1900
senior high school pupils dependent
upon the Anacostia Junior Senior
High, now operated on a double
shift basis.
Should the Kramer School be
completed now but used for Office
purposes, District and school au-
thorities would have to tackle the
problem of how to handle the school
problem for the area.

United States Naval Research
Laboratory and Magazine at
Bellevue, D. c., yesterday after

mined, was not announced. Spokes-
men declared, however, that there
was no evidence of sabotage.

vened by Rear Admiral George Pet
tengill, commandant of the Navy
Yard and of the Potomac River

Autoists Urged 10 Turn in
1941 Tags After April |

Washington motorists were ad-
vised today by the Commissioners
they should turn in their 1941 auto
tags to the first gasoline station
from which they buy fuel after
April l in keeping with a plan for
saving metal in auto tag manufac-
ture for the tag year April l, 1943-
March 81. 1914.
For that tag year, to begin a little
more than a year hence, the only
additional metal insignia will be a
strip bearing a serial number and
expiration date, to be affixed to the
1912 tags. These strips will be
cut from the discarded 194l-1942
tags, which the city heads ask mo-
torists to give to gas station opera
tors after next April l..
If a motorist sells his car during
the 1943-1944 registration year the
tag strip and the 1942-1943 tags
must be returned to the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Trafiic for
cancellation unless they are retained
by the owner to be used on any
other vehicle he buys that registra-
ton year.

Board Of Trade Unit
Urges Tires Be Made
Available 10 Taxis
Group Also Indorses
Meters for Hacks If
They Can Be Obtoined

Regulation of cab operations 50
that Washington taxis would be
taken out of the luxury" class and
could obtain tires was recommended
yesterday by the Public Utilities and
Transportation Committee of the
Board Of Trade at its meeting at
the Harrington Hotel.
On the motion Of Charles H.
Cooke, chairman Of the Subcom-
mittee on Taxicabs. the group also
indorsed meters for cabs If they
could be obtained. Mr.. Cooke said
that he had been informed that no
new meters have been manufac-
tured for the last eight years but
that four or five thousand second
hand meters are available.
The committee also heard Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner John
L. Rogers, head of the Division Of
Motor Transport of the Once Of
Defense Transportation. Mr.. Rogers
said 1,000, 900 miles Of truck and bus
operation are being run uselessly
each year.
A greater load is going to be
thrown on public vehicles with the
stoppage Of passenger car produc-
ton, Mr.. Rogers pointed out. The
truck industry will be a hard one
to impose restrictions on, he en-
phasized, since there are 4,750,O0
trucks in the hands Of 100000
persons or corporations. There are
1,000, 900 people who own only one
truck each, he said.
Following his talk, the group ap-
proved resolution offered by j.
Ninian Bell asking that every effort
be made to abolish arbitrary restric-
tions on pickups and deliveries
during business hours, to make pro-
vision for receipt of freight and
payment Of c. o. d. charges at all
times and to have complete deliv-
cry addresses on all shipping orders.
The group took no action on the
pickup cab service now in operation,
pending the end Of the 3o-day trial
period.

Under Bond in
viereck Case
Posts $500
After FoiIure to
Appear Thursday

Prescott bennett, chairman Of the
Islands for War Debts Committee,
today was under 81 500 bond to as
sure his appearance as a Govern
ment witness In the trial of George
Sylvester Viereck, indicted Nazi
agent. which opens in District Court
Monday.
Mr.. bennett was put under bond
by Justice F. Dickinson Let's in Dis
trict Court yesterday afternoon
after Special Assistant to the At
torney General william Power Ma
loney had expressed the fear that
Mr.. bennett might not be available
for the trial.
Justice Let's action came after
prosecutors spent half the day try
ing to get Mr.. bennett before the
grand jury investigating Nazi prop
aganda. When Mr.. bennett finally
did show up at pm, he was in
the room only 10 minutes. and then
the jury went with him to Justice
Let's court.
At first, it appeared that the jury
would reiterate its complaint Of
Tuesday that Mr.. bennett had
failed to cooperate in answering
questions, but after an hour or so
OF maneuvering. Mr.. Maloney and
Special Assistant to the Attorney
General Edward Hickey jr., pre-
sented to the court petition
asking that Mr.. bennett be placed
under bond, in lieu Of which he
would have to 60 to jail. Mr.. Den
nett raised the bond.
Mr.. Maloney. in his argument to
the court. pointed out that Mr.. Dem
nett had failed to appear before
