Watering Shrubs, Trees

The Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission announced yester-
day that because of the cool weather
and the marked decrease in water
consumption, it now is able to permit
the watering of shrubs and trees.
The commission pointed out, how
ever, it is not yet able to allow the
watering of laws, since the supply
situation still is serious.
j. Donald Clagett, commissioner,
said the restrictions were relaxed
because valuable trees and shrub
berry were being threatened by the
drought. He emphasized, however,
that If the water system is taxed
too heavily again, it will be neces-
sary to invoke all the restrictions.

The value of major league base
bali to the morale of civilian United
States and as n listening-in diver
sion for our service men overseas
often has been pointed out. But
the Importance of the diamond
advertisement as a bond of mutual
interest between the USA and our

ticularly in Latin America, too
often is overlooked.
BASEBALL CONSCIOUS
Most Latin American countries
are extremely baseball conscious.
Millions of fans in Mexicon. Puerto
Rico. Cuba and the nations of
South America follow the progress
of our major league pennant races
with the same enthusiasm as our
home folks. And they play the
game themselves so proficiently
that they have sprinkled our minor
leagues with representatives, and
even sent some of their stars up to
the majors.
Right now there are five LatinS
in the majors: Carrasquel with
Washington; Hiram Bithorn of
Puerto Rico and Salvador Herman
dez of Cuba with the Cubs; Roberto
EStalella of Cuba with the Ath-

If we have another wartime major

son a day in advance of the other

A crowd of 25,O93 fans watched
the Senators come from behind with
six-run rally in the sixth inning
to defeat the AS after Manpower
Commissioner Paul v. McNutt had
tossed out the first ball to start
the 1943 major league season in

PRE-GAME BOOST
AS it was, McNutt. who gave the
sport a pre-game boost by predict
ing it would survive the difficulties
of war, turned in the best pitching
job of the day after brief flag
raising ceremonies led by Senate
Democratic Leader Alben w. Bark
ley of Kentucky, American League
President William Harridge and
club owner Clark Griffith.
Right -hander Luman Harris of
the AS seemed headed for shut
out victory with a 80 lead going
into the sixth when the roof fell in.
The Senators slammed Harris off
the mound and pummeled his two
successors for six runs before the
inning closed.
Washington suffered pitching ills,
too, but only briefly. Dutch Leon
ard started after his first opening
day victory in five years, but it
eluded him. The AS got to him
for a pair of runs in the third and
one more in the fourth. He gave
way to a pinch-hitter in the fourth
and Alex Carrasquel finished up
brilliantly to gain credit for the
triumph.
Russ Christopher, who took over
for Harris and handled only two
batters, was charged with the loss.
