Slab Staff Shot
With Ace Gone
For 6 Weeks
Come Slide to First
CrippIes Dutch; Long
Hits Beut Red Sox
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Encased In a cast at Georgetown
University Hospital today were the
dimming first st-division hopes of the
Mats, for there fiat on his back with
a broken left leg and severely
sprained ankle is Pitcher Dutch
Leonard, lost to the club for at least
six weeks.
Not since Uncle Sam requested
hard hitting Cecil Travis to join the
Army has Washington's baseball
team been stripped of a more vital
member. In its pitching staff
nestled Washington's strength and
Leonard was Its leading pitcher.
The plump knuckle-ban specialist,
winner of 18 games with q woefully
inept club last season. owns q g.
inch spiral fracture of the fibula
that. according to the club ply
sician, may keep Dutch idle until
mid-June. He will be hospitalized
for another day or two and in sew
eral days will be ale to hobbls
about on crutches.
An over ambitious slide into first
base in the second inning of yes
terdays Washington Boston game
at Griffith Stadium proved costly
to the mellowirg right-hander. for
Leonard's spikes snagged In the dirt
and left him groveling in the dust.
Loss Is Severe Blow.
Dutch had smashed a grounder
at Shortstop Johnny Pesky of the
Red Sox. Pesky's throw to First
Baseman Ulysses Lupien was wide
and Lupien stabbed the ball, then
tagged Leonard coming into first.
Dutch attempted to slide under
Lupien's arm and the split bone
resulted.
Preliminary diagnosis revealed
only bad sprain but more ex-
haustive probing disclosed Dutch
had been more seriously injured
than suspected when carried of the
field by mates.
Involved in a lengthy salary dis
pute with Prexy Clark Griffith that
delayed his arrival at the Mats
spring training camp at Orlando,
Fla, Leonard represented the back
bone of pitching stafi that was
expected to create considerable
trouble despite the Mats slow start.
With the failure of young Early
Wynn to revert to his promising
form of last fall. Leonards loss
comes as a doubly disastrous blow
to the struggling Mats, who pounced
on Yank Terry and Tex Hughson
for IS hits, and a los victory
credited to Leonard.
Rule Gives Leonard Win.
Designating Leonard as the win
ming pitcher despite his. brief labor
has stirred numerous arguments,
but Leonard technically deserted
the game with SO lead and in
entitled to the triumph under
American League scoring rules
which read:

DR.. Harris issued a written state

"the institutions properly may per-
NIT their freshman teams to Sched-

of their authorized three games in
stead of playing Junior colleges.
Then. too, some Of the institutions
are adding the strong service teams

He also declared it is unfair to
freshmen to play them on varsity
teams. which the conference dis

extensively while they still are ad-

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-Most
of the Nations top-fiight track and
field athletes took over Franklin
Field today in the 48th unveiling of
the Penn relays-the first major
merry-go-round of the outdoor
season,
Nearly 5000 college and high
school athletes are entered in the
two-day, 74-event program which
features, like last year, the great
stretch duels between Leslie Mac
Mitchell and Campbell Kane, anchor
men for the crack New York U. and
Indiana teams.
On the strength of MacMitchell's
running, the Violets were favored
to retain the sprint, distance medley
and 4-mile championships they won
last year. Indiana hoped to repeat
victories in the mile and Emile
events.
A distinct military atmosphere
dominates this years carnival with
score of prominent athletes, now
in service, entered. Among them are
1t. John woodruff, former Pitt and
Olympic half-miler: Ensign Bob
Peoples. American javelin champion
from Southern California, and 1t.
Glenn Funk of the Marine Corps,
former Nebraska distance star.
In addition, all service men In

North Texas States teachers were
big favorites in the half-mile relay
which they won last year. although
the Texans faced such crack teams
as Fordham, Seton Hall, Duke, Pitt,
Cornell and Villanova. Duke was
after another championship in the
440 relay.

he should have been credited
with hits on two fumbled infield
taps. At that it was large after
noon for Bill, who hit one more
triple than he had hit In his
entire career. He didn't get hit
last season.
Invading with the Athletics to-
day was jim Castiglia, former
Georgetown fullback. The burly
third-string catcher is being en-
ployed frequently as a pinch
hitter.

Nozi Morale Slipping, but This Doesn't Mean
Collapse Is Near, Freed Writer Asserts

The German Army had an un-
broken string of victories. The
nation appeared united as never
before. The mass of the people still
hadn't seriously thought of the
United States as a potential enemy.
But then a series of elements en-
tered the picture which began to
undermine morale.
These included the flight of Adolf
Hitler's conf1dante, Rudolf Hess, to
England; the invasion of Russia:
Nazi party favoritism; persecution
OF the churches; deterioration of
food and general living conditions;
false promises of peace; entry of the
United States into the war; the
dismissal of Field Marshal Walther
Won Brauchitsch, and tension be-
tween Heinrich Himmler's S. S.
(elite guard troops and the army.
In the German mind today, Hess
is a traitor who flew to the enemy
to reveal Hitler's general war
strategy to the British. The Nazis
quickly hushed the Hess incident,
but that didn't prevent Germans
even at the risk of their heads from
tuning in on the British radio for
news. The B. B. c. probably never
had higher number Of listeners
in Germany than during that period.

Senator McCarran outlined the
questions he hopes to have answered

main problem is to ascertain the
increased needs of the Federal Gov
ernment and what extensions of the
water system will be required. The
answer to that question is especially
important in view of the fact that
the Federal Government receives its

$4,000 Nazi Troops
Reported Sent Into
Norway Since March
Viehy Persuaded to Give
Half ,mIIion Tons Of
Goods, British Soy
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 18.-Adolf Hit
Ter has sent $4,000 combat troops
into Norway since March despite
the demands of the Russian
front and has persuaded Vichy
to send almost half a million
tons OF goods-largely war ma
terials as we'll as troops to
Dakar, French West Africa,
British sources declared today.
They said signs that the Nazis
feared an Allied thrust into North
ern Norway were evident also from
a German Army order that traffic
on all roads leading north from the
port Of Narvik to Thomsoe be limited
to military transport, and from the
dispatch of several Austrian noun
tain regiments to the area between
Narvik and Kirkenes.
More Teachers Forced to Work.
The Norwegian government cir
cles here reported that new group
of 160 teachers had been sent to
forced labor on military fortifica-
tions in the Kirkenes area in the
far north on the Finnish border in
addition to the original 500 sent to
the same area.
Large numbers of German air
force ground crews have been sent
into Northern Norway to operate
new airdromes from which the Nazi
planes are harassing conveys taking
United States and British goods to
Russia, it was said.
Shipping reports were said to re-
veal that Vichy has been sending
large quantities of war materials
and substantial" numbers of troops
to Dakar from Marseille since the
first of this year.
More than 100 cargo ships have
left the port, many of them closely
supervised by the French-German
commission, since January, reports
said.
1t was reported that this shipping
showed great increase during
March and April, and a breakdown
of the cargo lists revealed the major
proportion was devoted to war ma
terials, particularly airplanes, trucks
and tanks.
One entire tank brigade was re-
ported to have gone to Dakar as a
unit.
The French ships were said to
hug the Spanish coast, then dash
across to Spanish Morocco and
hence down the North African coast
to Dakar, out of range Of British
warships.

Study Of Piping
Oil 10 East
Congress Leaders
Consulted on
Feasibility
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

President Roosevelt has or
dered a study of the feasibility Of
immediate construction of one
or more major pipe lines to bring
oil and gasoline into the North
Atlantic section of the country,
it was disclosed today.
The project and the study of 1t
were discussed at the White House
today by the Chief Executive and
congressional leaders, with any nee
essary legislative clearance expected
to come quickly should the con-
struction job be undertaken.
Time Big Factor.
Senate Majority Leader Barley
told reporters of the contemplated
step after the White House con-
ference, explaining that the first
task is to determine whether the
lines can be built in time to be Of
utmost value.
Senator Barley said that there
might be two lines, one from Texas
or Oklahoma to Eastern points
where other safe transportation
would be available He mentioned
as another possibility terminals
either on the Ohio River or in
Florida.
Presumably, oil sent into Florida
would be transshipped by small in
land waterway barges or perhaps in
part by rail. Tanker losses by sub
marine attack have been most
serious along the Florida Atlantic
coast and in the Mexican Gulf
Caribbean area.
Idle Pipes Available.
The Senator pointed out that a
slzaoIe store OF idle pipes is avail
able in the area involved. There was
also discussion of taking up and
relaying idle pipe lines.
Lack of pipe stocks was blamed
for blocking projected construction
Of lines last year.
The Senator said that the Depart
ment of the Interior, the War Pro-
duction Board and the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp. are among the
agencies asked to study the prob
lem.
Senator Barkley indicated that
the gasoline situation was the primo
ipal topic of conversation when
he, Vice President Wallace, Speaker
Rayburn and House Majority Leader
MacCormack had their regular
weekly conference with President
Roosevelt.
Everybody was intensely inter-
ested." Senator Barkley asserted.
This will be looked into at once
