Ossie Bluege, landmark of WASH

lifting the Mats from seventh to Sec
ond place in the American League
in the span of a season when Clark
Griffith, president of the Washing-
ton Baseball Club, yesterday signed
him to 2-year contract as the Mats
manager.
Griffith refused to divulge the SAL
airy terms of the contract, but ad-

Bluege, for 18 years a brilliant
member of the Mats infeld who
later coached under Bucky Harris,
succeeded Harris as Washington 5
manager in October, 1912, and in
his first attempt at plotting maneu-
vered the Mats TO their highest level
since they won the pennant in 1888.
Bluege indicated his first move
toward bolstering the Mats for 1914
would be TO negotiate for a first
baSeman to replace Mickey Vernon,
now an apprentice seaman at Samp-
s n IN. Y Naval Training Station.
Wen have to make a deal for a
first baSeman," said Ossie, and if
the Army takes Gerald Priddy we'll

Priddy, plagued by sinus trouble,
hasn't taken his final physical vet
and if rejected may become the
Mats first baseman, with George
Myatt and Alex Kampouris sharing
s cond-base duties.
Bluege is product of Chicago
sandlots who ranks with the finest
fielding third basemen of all time.
He broke in with the Mats in 1922
under Clyde Milan. then manager of
the Mats and now a coach under
Bluege. He is married and has two
daughters.

offered Griffith $4,000 for his con-

Messrs. Simmons and Meyer here

American newspapers, Not every
reader will like every article: that
is, of course, far too much to expect
of any compilation of miscellaneous
material. But, considering that
there are at least 1876 articles on as
many subjects, it seems safe to say
that most readers should find plenty
to please them. Taken together, the
articles are a sort of journalistic

Being convinced that complete
victory over their enemies is eSSen-
tial to defend life, liberty, independ-
ence and religious freedom and to
preserve human rights and justice
in their own lands, and that they
are now engaged in common
struggle against savage and brutal
forces seeking to Subjugate the
world =" These are the rea-
sons that have made the Allies atfix
their signatures to that simple, his
toric document, the JOINT Declara-
ton by United Nations.
There have been many pamphlets
and books written discussing the
present collaboration and future re-
sponsibilities Of these nations which
have accepted the common goal of
total victory. Henri Bonnet is the
author of two World Citizens Asso-
citation pamphlets, The United
Nations-What They Are-What
They May Become" and The United
Nations On the Way The one
gives good explanation of the
present status and the possible de-
velopment of Allied cooperation
and the other considers the Allies
policies in matters of international
relations.
One of the Foreign Policy Asso-
citation headline books, Uniting
Today for Tomorrow: The United
Nations in War and Peace" is a

Julia E. johnson. A good many

somewhat in the California sun, but

her bones, as she admits. She has
married college professor, and the
great family investment has been
