Athletes Not IGNORED

BY now it apparently is an ac-
cepted idea that the public needs
entertainment and relaxation and
that sports are part of that picture.
When Washington's wonder think
ers start classifying one sport as
nondeferrable and fail to list others,
however, they're requesting trouble
in big patches.
This doesn't mean athletes will be
ignored. They'll continue to swing
ut baseball or throw one; kick q
football, carry 1t or throw it; take a
soggy gloved fist in the mouth or
perhaps feign pain in a rasshng
match. They'll continue to do all
that and take their chances in the
draft.
Sports figures. again apparently
exclusive of the horse racing indus
try, will not be inducted until the
supply Of lavatory attendants, taxi
dermists, sign painters, ETC., is ex-
hausted. The bellhops, elevator op-
orators, bartenders, etc, may cast
fishy eye at marvellous paunchy
pachyderms snorting through their
drama in wrestling match and
they may snort a bit at the sight
OF an outfielder chasing across con-
siderable geography In hope of in
terrupting the flight of a baseball
while they have been uprooted and
transplanted
That would be unfortunate, for
athletes have requested no favors.
Washington seemingly considers

continued to the point where they'll

Wynn Yet May Get 20 for Mats;

Wynn Is the only Nat with

he may not be Washington's most

That easily could be 3S-year-old

Niggeling permitted only six hits,
but the Browns parlayed two of
them, plus two walks, in the second
inning for a run and combined two
more hits in the sixth inning for
another score. Meanwhile, the Mats
were getting nowhere against Mel
son Potter, who restricted them to
seven hits.
Niggeling, recently acquired from
the Browns In q four player trade,
made a spiffy start with the Mats
despite the defeat. He was wild in

The Mats launched what resem-

by Al Zarilla. Gene Moore then
popped out and Jake Early famed.
Spence walloped two home runs in
the opener-the first in the open

5-4 lead entering the last half of
the ninth. With two out, though,
Jim Mertz was clipped for a single

Washington bounced back with
five runs in the tenth off George

Leeds in War Donations

The moralists could argue horse
racing drains hard-earned dollars
from community and probably be
correct, but horse racing also pro-
duces a mountainous amount of
revenue for the Government and it
has donated more money to war
relief agencies than baseball, foot
bali, boxing, wrestling, basket ball
and all other sports combined.
The result of the fifth race to-
morrow at Washington Park will
have no effect on the outcome of
the war, admittedly, but neither will
the outcome of the Yankees Tigers
collision or the Redskin- -All-Stars
battle. Racing, baseball and foot
ball all have tremendous followings.
but there is some doubt if basebal II
or football builds any more morale
than racing.

sports from nonessential sports and
has deemed horse racing is No. l on
the list of undesirable sports.
That would indicate the moralists
are getting in lick or that some
body up at the top lost 81 bet in
photo finish and thus is annoyed
by jockeys, owners. trainers, mes
sengers, walters, mutuel men and all
others who frequent race tracks.
From personal standpoint, we
would be happier if the only horses
we have seen had been pulling ice
wagons or plows, but attendance at
tracks hasn't demonstrated many
folk agree with us. Attendance at
baseball games, with a few excep-
tions, has skidded, but record at
tendance figures have been regis
tered at race tracks.
Horse racing may not lift the
morale If you risk little do-re-mi
on an also-ran. The immediate re-
action may be disgust, just as it
might be in the case of a misjudged
fly ball or fumbled punt. What
constitutes morale remains a hazy
subject.

Start 10 Be Made Soon
On Equipping Trucks
With Skid Pumps
Vehicles for Auxiliary
Firemen to Be Serviced
At Four Workshops

A start will be made sometime
this week" in mounting the skid
pumps allotted to the District by
the national once of Civilian De-
tense for the use OF auxiliary fire
men, Porter Lumpkins, District OCD
executive officer, said today.
The trucks on which they will be
mounted were turned over to Com
missioner John Russell Young and
Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter on
April II at meeting of the Public
Order Committee of the Washing
ton Board of Trade. This commit
tee had answered an urgent" call
by the District OCD for trucks by
soliciting local business firms. AS a
result of their campaign. they were
able to get Al trucks, q of which
were later found adaptable to the
mounting of pumps.
Donated for Duration.
The trucks were donated to the
Fire Department for the duration of
the war. The contracts giving the
District legal title to them are still
in rough form" a month and half
after the trucks were turned over to
the city, according to Mr.. Lumpkins.
Otto E. Fearn, superintendent of
Fire Department machinery stated
that his shop had all the necessary
equipment with which to install the
pumps and awaited only the go
signal from the Commissioners
office and Chief Porter.
The pumps, which are used in fire
fighting, will be installed in four
workshops in the District-City Ref
use, Sewerage, Highway Depart
ment and the Fire Department-Mr.
Lumpkins said. He estimated that
each shop will be able to turn out
one mounted pump a week.
18 More Trucks Sought.
Meanwhile. the Public Order
Committee is continuing its efforts
to get 18 more trucks to replace
those of the first lot found unfit,
according to Mrs. Marie c. Rogers,
