EN- ROUTE TO DETROIT. Aug. 9.
The Mats pennant prospects have
diminished to wisilful thinking but
the novelty and pleasure of whack-
ing up second place coin, usually
about 81 200 per player, probably will
be theirs.
With seven weeks of the season
remaining the Mats chances of
catching the Yankees, on top in
the American League by nine games,
are remote but Washington never
theless enters the stretch drive play
ing its best baseball of the season
and displaying no signs of sagging
Washington's play this season has
been patterned after the flight of
an elevator. Over the span of the
last three weeks, the Mats have
lost eight of nine games, then re-
versed and now have romped to
nine triumphs in their last II games
Predicting events for them may be
another method of suicide. but the
Mats finally seem to have leveled
off to steady, but unspectacular
! speed.
Bob Johnson's injured hand has
mended and Catcher Jake Early's
throwing arm no longer is sore
Prexy Clark Griffith has picked up
brace of hurlers who calculate to
| aid the Mats in relief roles and he's
boistered the pinch hitting depart
ment with Jake Powell.
Wynn at Peak Form.
The Mats, too, have gotten around
to hitting more frequently and their
pitching has been on the consistent
side. The hitting has been so en-
couraglng to Manager Ossie Bluege
IN fact, that he has benched Out
fielder Gene Moore, who merely is
Washington's leading hitter and
possessor of a streak of ID games in
which he has hit safely.
One of the reasons that the Mats
don't figure to slump would be
Early Wynn, who notched his 18th
victory of the season, q to 3, in the
hrst game Of double-header YES
terday at Boston before the Mats
cropped the nigntcap to the Red
SoX by the same score.
With any sort of pitching luck
Wynn now would own at least Is
wins, for among his losses are a pair
OF 20 games and a 10 decision. He
/ has been the Mats most consistent
pitcher and despite occasional bad
breaks still has chance of registering
20 victories.
Wynn was at peak form yesterday
For eight innings he limited the
Red SoX to one hit and only in the
second inning did Boston get anv
runners on base Wynn retired 1e
Red Sox in order after loading the
/ bases in the second inning on a
single by Bobby Doerr and walks to
Jim Tabor and Bill Conroy.
| Meanwhile. the Mats had FASH
ioned a 40 lead for him, principally
through the efforts of Early. Jake
Hammered a double in the fourth
inning to score Stan Spence. who
had walked, and in the seventh in
ming Early blasted a home run into
the right field stands after Spence
had reached base on Shortstop
Skeeter NeWsome's tumble.
Mickey Vernon forced George
Case in the eighth, but he stole

single to left and scored on Gerald
Priddy'S fly to Pete Fox.
Newsome collected Boston's second
hit, soft liner over Shortstop
Johnny Sullivan's head leading of
IN the ninth, and then Wynn
bumped into trouble, with Sullivan
greaslng the route. Johnny dropped
Tony Lupien's pop fly and Newsome
took third as George Metkovich
forced Lupien.

said. She came out of it with a

did lazy eights up there in the air
over the rock-ribbed mountains.
We swung low toward the border

brown hills of Mexico, and where
rests the little oval of the Caliente

Who Are the Champs?
Caliente was quite a place in those
days. Now it advertises bullfights
on Sundays at the Plaza del Toros-
that and trinkets for the sucker
Americanos, and horse races.
Our Cooks tour swung back over
San Diego, following the shore line
over the naval base, where a baby
f1attop cuddled to her pier. We
swung again over the. bowl where
the Redskins are training, heroes in
little world of their own.
I'D like to see those boys play"
said the captain, this time Arthur
Pearson of Tucson. Ariz. They
must be good. They tell me they're
the world champions. What do they
call them-the Redskins?" 1t de-
fiated a football followers ego to
have this champion of the high air
speak so casually of the football
champs.
Swinging low over the roofs of the
town. we landed on the short run
way. The field, called Lindbergh
Field, is pretty small for heavy
bombing jobs and reminds one of the
old Washington Airport. On the re-
pair stand were two more "Libs."
Those ships fly the milk run to
Australia, New Zealand. Hawaii and

They have no guns. They depend
on speed and clouds to get away

We wondered about that. too.
About the valiant men serving the
soldiers, sailors and marines out

miles of ocean without protection

We wondered who are the heroes,
the athletes or the slim, trim pilots
who are winning the war in the air.

The Secretary was asked who ar
ranged the Sunday meeting with Mr.
Lewis at which the mine truce was
agreed on. but would respond only
with Il didn't" Asked if that meant
that Mr.. Lewis did, he refused to
answer.
He said that at the meeting here
he had recommended a two-week
truce because he had just taken
over the mines for the Govern
ment and II wanted to get my feet
on the ground"
When Mr.. Lewis left here for New
York to lay the proposal before the
Mine Workers Policy Committee, he
said he did not know that his sug-
gestion would be needed. About IL
minutes before President Roosevelt
went on the air with his plea to the
miners to return to work, he received
a telephone call from Mr.. Lewis an
nouncing approval of the truce by
the Policy Committee.
The mine leader reached him at
his farm at Olney, Md, he said, and
he did not communicate the word to
the White House, assuming they had
the same information available there
as he did.
He said that his meeting with Mr.
Lewis was quite friendly" but that
there were no guarantees asked or

out that if his name were men

opportunity to explain his presence

that he was invited to the parties
