Wilson Ends Western Streak :
Roosevelt Trims Anocostio

Lazy mans way of explaining
yesterdays developments in school,
boy baseball is to say that errors
were responsible for the two VIC
tories scored. Western, still leading
the league today, took it's first lick
ing OF the season when George Con-
way, Raider third baseman, made
wild throw TO first allowing Pierce
Godfrey Of Wilson TO cross the plate
and make the final score Wilson. 3;
western, 2. In the other series
game, four Anacostia errors gave
the decision to Roosevelt, 1877, put
ting the Rough Riders in a four-Way
deadlock for second place, while the
Indians sleep in the basement.
The big excitement of the day
came in the seventh inning of the
game at Western. The score was
%. Wilson at bat. Two out. Pierce
Godfrey on third. Up to bat comes
Bill Boehne, hard-hitting Tiger
right fielder. He smacks out a

Baseman George Conway scoops it
up and gets off a split throw
to Brian Bell on first, but it's a

Max Lanier, the hard luck guy"
of the 1943 World Series, today
ranks as the top pitcher Of the

ming streak for the front running

Although Hank Borowy Of the
Yankees also is undefeated, the
Cards chunky southpaw from Den

the top spot by allowing only six
runs and 80 hits in IS innings. His

PRINCETON, N. j., May 13.-
Princeton University, which al
ready had given up several inter-
collegiate sports, now has aban-
doned formal football schedule in
favor of intramural competition.
Harold w. Dodds, president of
the university, said last night the
step was made necessary by "the
limited number of players who
would be available and because of
the wartime pressure of regular
college duties on instructional staffs
and undergraduates"
The president further explained
that 1.-The severity of wartime sched-
.ule does not afford adequate time
for training which is more than
ever essential when the extreme
youth and physical qualities of the
material are taken into account"
DoddS said 18 was the average age
Iof the undergraduate student and
Navy Viz trainees averaged about
10 years of age.

Jimmy Dykes brings his Chicago
White Sox into Griffith Stadium
tonight to open three-game series
"a double-bill tomorrow will wind
up the set-and the Mats will go
back to their knuckle-ball brigade
for pitching in defense of their
third place in the American League.
Roger Wolff. the righthand but
terf1y artist who took the measure
of the Chicagoans in three games
while losing only once to them as
a pitcher for Philadelphia's Ath-
letics last year, will take the slab
for the home side. Battling him
will be Bill Dietrich, an orthodox
hurler who got the edge over the
Mats in three games he chucked
to a decision in 1943.
The Mats knucklers, due to nu-
merical superiority as much as
anything else perhaps, have kept
Os Bluege's band in fine contend
ing position in the race thus far
while their fastball reliance, Early
Wynn, after a superb start, has
found the going pretty tough.
In Philadelphia last week the AS
gave Wynn a great going over and
only a tremendous rally by the Mats
saved him from a bad beating. Last
night against the st. Louis Browns
Wynn wasn't able to last an inning,
giving up five runs before Milo
Candini came on to get two out
to retire the side.
Mats Fight Back Gamely.
The Mats put up a keen fight
in the face of such odds, but the
best they could do was hold the
Browns to a 6-to-4 score. This put
the ST. Louis club back in COM
mand in the league with the New
York Yankees, victims of the De-
troit Tigers, slipping to second
place.
Five of the Is hits registered by
the Browns were at Wynn's ex-
pense. Unsteady at the outset,
Wynn walked Don Gutteridge, then
Milt Byrnes singled and George Nc
Quinn beat out bunt to the pitcher
to crowd the bases.
Early managed to strike out Ver-
non Stephens who had been such
a bother at bat the night before, but
a run crossed when George Myatt
missed Gene Moore's drive and Mark
Christman singled the second tally
home. Mike Kreevich's one-baser
pushed over two more markers and
Frank Mancuso singled to score a
fifth run.
That brought Candini to the res
cue and he did pretty well, despite
three hits off him in the second in
ming, until the sixth when passes to
Gutteridge and Byrnes, McQuinn's
sacrifice and Stephens infleld era
sure accounted for the Browns sixth
run.
Muncrief Saved by Support.
AL Carrasquel took over after Cam
DIM gave way to pinch-batter in
the seventh and held the st. Louis
club at bay, although he was nicked
for three safeties.
The Mats never gave up after the
big start st. Louis got, but fate was
against them when they had op-
portunities to catch up. Bob Mum
Grief, the Browns slabman, never
was any too steady, but whenever he
looked ready to be rushed to the

shower his support came to his
rescue.
Ten hits were collected off him
the first a home run shot into the
open stand back of left field by Bob
Ortiz after two were out in the first
round, but he gave only one pass and
the Mats needed the help of two
st. Louis errors to get as far as they
did.
Myatt's walk, Ortiz's single, which
Moore let 60 through to move Myatt
to third, and Stan Spences double
play smack got the Mats their second
run that came in the fourth round
then it looked as though the home
side really would get into the game
in the fifth.
Mike Guerra got an infield hit to
start this frame and Candini singled
him to third with one out. Here
Jake Powell rifled a terrific liner to
left-center, but Byrnes crossed for a
spectacular one-hand catch that let
only Guerra score. Had the ball
gone through 1t easily would have
been a triple sending in another
run and putting Muncrief out of
action.
Stephens Checks Rally.
Again in the sixth the Mats had
Muncrief tottering when singles by
Spence and Joe Kuhel followed by
Stephens slip on Gil Torres
grounder produced a fourth WASH
ington run, but neither Guerra nor
Johnny Sullivan could help.
Another score appeared In the
making in the seventh when Hills
Layne, batting for Candini, opened
the inning with single and Powell
also hit safely. Myatt sacrificed
then Ortiz slammed one that ap-
peared a sure hit. But Stephens
made whale of play on the drive
and held both runners to their bases
as he threw out the batter. That
was the finish for the Mats.
Bluege says he is sending Wynn
back to the hill against the White
Sox in one of tomorrow's engage
ments. Maybe he means to work
the pitcher back to winning form
Two pinch hitters were used last
night by the losers and both came
through. Bill Lefebvre batted for
Carrasque1 in the ninth and hit a
single longer than the one made by
Layne in the seventh.
kuhel trapped Muncrief's bunt in
the third to make a double play. He
retrieved the ball to tag out Man
cuso of first then tagged the bag
before the batter got there.
Probably the biggest check ever
received by the Browns for a series
here was picked up this time. The
three games drew 1858.
