IS ALL-STAR
Many States Represented In
Lineup of Well Balanced
Winning Baseball Team


Bombing along Victory Road. with
13 games won and no losses to mar
It's brilliant and enviable record,
the Service Commands baseball
team is the cynosure of all eyes
on this historic Post.
1t was but a few weeks ago that
this fine club came into being. Re
cruited from several of the Units
OF the Service Command, and in
some cases the attached Units-the
club made a successful but unher-
aided start against a nine repre-
Sentlng the 268th Station Hospital.
The score was 13 to 4, and some
promise of greatness was revealed.
Then followed a game with the
3b9th Combat team of the 92nd In
1antry with the score IA runs to 0.
The above performance called for
a careful scrutiny of the Service
Commands club and the third game
against the 780th Military Police
nine saw a large crowd in attend
ance. The score was 18 runs to 8.
BY now the word went around
that the Service Commands team
was "red hot" and toasts were Of
fered for it's future welfare and
success.
A team representing Company
ga" 371st (92nd Infantry was next
on the list of victims, the score be-
ing 18 to l.
The 370th Infantry was next, and
down this team went before the
great playing of the SOUS of Fort
Huachuca, the count being II to o.
The 18th Special Service Unit, the
370th, Company &c" of the 371st.
and the 92nd Signal Company could
do no better than the others, where
victories over the sensational Ser
vice Commands team was concern
ed, each going down in that order.
BY this time those in charge of
the Service Commands Club and
the players themselves began to
look toward the distant horizons in
search of more formidable "ene-
mics"
And thus it came to pass that cor
reSpondence was initiated with the
manager of the strong semi-profes-
sional club of Cananea.
Boosting well-roupded and
highly successful club, the Cannanea
management readily agreed to a
meeting with the Service Com
mand's team, on the latter's dia--
mond on the Post.
When word got about that "Our
Heroes" were to meet Cannanea,
there was much speculation as to
how things would go with our play
ers. There were those who predicted
that the long string of victories
would be cut. Others said that the
Service Commands team would con-
tinue on its winning way. Saturday
afternoon, July 3rd was the day
and date selected for the game with
Cannanea.

By the Way
BETH BLAINE

what do you think is the most
important factor in making Ill
people well again" We asked
Miss Maude Hodgkin, who has
spent most of her life helping
sick people to get we'll, and for
the past 20 years has run sani-
tarium of her own.
II think there are several
equally important factors" said
Miss Hodgkin. illness isn't al
ways merely physical thing
mental and spiritual fatigue can
be just as devastating as a physi-
cal disability. Therefore I think
that the mental and spiritual re-
habilitation is just as important
as the physical mending." This
is very much along the line of the
recently launched Red Cross arts
and skills program for the reha-
bilitation of war casualties and
We remarked on that to Miss
Hodgkin and asked her if she had
heard about it. She said she had,
and was much interested because
the program seems very much in
line with her own thought.
Although Miss Hodgkin's FAM
lily were originally from Virginia,
where they lived at Waverly in
Westmoreland County, they
moved to Washington shortly
after the death of her mother.
So it was in the Nations Capital
that Miss Hodgkin spent most of
her childhood and girlhood days,
with frequent trips back to Vir-
ginia. Her father was the late DR..
James B. Hodgkin and her moth
er, the former Elizabeth Rust,
was sister of the late Mr.. H. L.
Rust.
Almost as far back as she can
remember, Miss Hodgkin says she
longed to study medicine. Even
as a child she read medical books
with her father and even then
surgery was her dream, the latter
an unfulfllled one. AS she grew
to young womanhood. she added
the study of diet and nutrition to
her medical readings and read
everything pertaining to the care
OF the sick that she could get her
hands on. Opportunities for
training women in medical care
were not so great then as they
are now, Miss Hodgkin says. but
she managed to get plenty of
practical experience at home by
taking care of any "ailing" mem
ber OF the family and then for a
year she went to Virginia and
taught underprivileged children.
She wanted very much to have
a place of her own that she could
make a real home to ill and ply
sically and mentally tired people.
So one day she went out into the
beautiful Maryland countryside
and bought herself a lovely old
house. She furnished it with
bright chintz covered furniture
and old family antiques and she
planted old-fashioned flowers in
. the gardens-and there she has
been working and helping people
to get well-ever since.
She Is an understanding wom-

The First Vice President of Peru.
Senor Rafael LARGO Herrera, spent
a week in Washington and went
southwark over the week end. He
was in Rio de Janiero yesterday
and will visit in Buenos Aires before
going back to his home in Lima.
Senor LARGO is very well known in
his country for his other accomplish
ments rather than that of First Vice
President, for in the Peruvian re-
public he serves in that capacity
without remuneration and without
work to do. In fact, he only serves
in an emergency. He is owner of
extensive sugar plantations and is
the editor and publisher of La Cron-
lea, a leading daily paper in Lima
Senor LARGO is an archeologist and
he has a very extensive and valuable
collection of pottery of the Incas.
Senor LARGO was in this country un-
officially, and there were no enter
tainments planned for him during
his stay here.
Other visitors from our South
American neighbor republics are
Senor Juan Antonio Solari and Sen
ora de Solari, who were here over
the week end and now are in Boston,
where they will be for several weeks.
They will return to Washington and
be here a week or 10 days before
going back to their home in the Ar
gentine. Senor Solari is former chief
of the editorial staff of La VAN
guardia, leading newspaper in the
Argentine, of which he also has been
director. Coming to this country as
the guest of the New School for So
cial Research in New York City, he
is continuing his work in that field
in Boston. He is a very well-known
economist and served as a deputy
In the Argentine Congress. Sonora
de Solari also is writer of note in
her country and is the author of
several books. She formerly was
Senorita Herminia Catalina Bru-
mana. When they return to Wash
ington there probably will be at
least one or two informal fetes in
their honor.
