Northeast Washington League and

in the first game of a new series.
Star hurlers of both team may be
absent unless the Navy allows Les
Bluhm to return from a special de-
tail in Ohio in time to be on the
mound for Garvin's, and unless the
Army gives "Cannonball" Jack Smith
time off from Aberdeen so that he
