Mats, Chronic Detroit Victims,
Help Newhouser to Pinnacle
By John D. KELLER.

Washington's ball club is no detri-
ment to Detfoit's Tigers nor to Hal
Newhouser, their pitching ace, in
his quest Of 4 league leadership.
Fifteen times this season Mats
and Tigers have clashed and a
dozen times the Tigers have been
victors. And to run his winning
string to Is games to tie Tex Hugh
son of Boston's Red Sox for the
league pitching lead Newhouser
last night lefthanded his way to
his fourth win of the year over the
Mats.
For this record against the Mats,
Newhouser has pitched three com.
plete games and relieved late in
one to get credit for the victory.
He's plain poison to them.
The Mats are figuring heavily in
the duel between Hughson and
Newhouser for the pitching laurels.
Only last Saturday afternoon in
Boston they were the victims as
Hughson scored his 18th win.
That night against the White Sox
at Chicago Newhouser reeled off his
18th win. Hughson tripped the
White Sox In Boston yesterday
afternoon for his 18th and the
Mats, not to be outdone by the Chi
cago crowd. accommodated New
houser last night.
Mats Banked Until Ninth.
The Tiger Southpaw gave an ar
tistic performance for eight innings
of his 4-to-2 triumph. Over that
span, he gave up only two singles
and the Mats dented the runway
only five times.
Bob Ortiz was the only one to
reach second base. getting there on
a two-baSe error by Shortstop Joe
Hoover in the second inning
Johnny Sullivan singled to start the
third, only to be forced out by Joe
kuhel. Newhouser's error put
George Wyatt on in the sixth. then
Wyatt was shared in double play
Jake Powell singled to open the sew
enth, then remained at first base.
In the ninth the Mats made their
bid, but it wasn't enough. They ran
their hit total. to four and got the
two passes Newhouser issued for
the game. Mike Guerra batted for
Wyatt TO begin the attack and
singled. Kuhel walked, then a
passed ball advanced both. AS
Powell rolled out Guerra tailed
First Baseman Joe Orengo missed
a foul of Stan Spence's bat for an
error, then Spence singled to score
Kuhel.
Ortiz struck out, but some hope
for the Mats was revived when Gil
Torres walked to put a potential
tieing tally on first. Rick Terrell
though, skied to the rightfielder.
Newhouser's Hits Also Tell.
Early Wynn took his 18th beating
OF the year as he went the route
against the Tigers. He was reached
for dozen hits and two walks with
the Tigers scoring in the first two
innings then tallying in the seventh
and ninth for their winning margin

Steel said, lis under way, though
not yet complete. Demand is spotty
and production is not yet back to
levels Of late 1912.
Tonnage is moving more freely
in some directions but is being speci-
fed less freely in others. Shipwork
still dominates as to tonnage, mainly
for cargo ships and landing craft.
The landing craft program has been
felt especially in shapes, which
needed some stimulus"
? Steel observed that despite re-
visions in type of construction, air
craft demand continues to expand.
THE heavy shell program is being

added. Steel for light awmuni-

Greater diversion of steel to es-

ice Calls on Carriers
To Sharpen Vigilance
As Accidents Mount
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Expressing concern over an
increase in railway accidents, the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today called on carriers to
exercise utmost vigilance in en-
forcement of operating rules,
and to provide safety installa-
tions without awaiting the oc-
currence of a. disastrous acci-
dent"
TT is particularly important under
the stress of wartime conditions
that the fundamental safety require
ments be fully observed" "
the ICC said in it's annual report
to Congress.
The report. which covered the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1943, said
that in the first six months of last
year 500 accidents were reported
by steam railways, an increase of
31.72 per cent over the correspond
ing 1912 period; the number of per-
sons killed, 2,349, a decrease of 3.37
per cent; the number injured, 28,857,
an increase of 3799 per cent. (For
statistical purposes the ICC lists as
train accident any accident to
moving cars or locomotives that
causes damage to railway property
of more than $500
Negligence" Cases Up 20 Per Cent.
Train accidents ascribed to de-
fects in or failure of equipment
increased 3915 per cent in the first
six months of 1943; accidents at
tributed to defects or improper
maintenance of way and structures
increased 1886 per cent and those
reported as "due to negligence Of
employees" increased 1881 per cent.
The increase for the unclassified
remainder was 1928 per cent.
The likelihood of accident has
been increased by shortage of ex-
perienced railway workers and an
abnormal turnover in personnel,
the ICC said, and many accidents
could have been avoided '"if the urge
TO keep trains moving were not per-
mitted to take precedence over
safety"
