more rain Friday.
The Tigers took first crack
at the diamond today at IL a. m,
followed by the Chicago cham
pions, who got in last night with
their new suits. 1t was noted that
the crowd of several hundred
fans who whooped the Tigers
home yesterday after waiting
around the station for four hours
for their train, which was de-
layed by a wreck, was not on
hand to do ditto for the Cubs.
Detroit simmered down from
its original city-wide delirium
to q simple insanity as 1t waited
today. while the thousands pour
ing in hour by hour still spent
their time looking for q place to
hang their hats the next few
nights.

CAPTAIN IN SEA
MISTAKES U. S.
SUB FOR ENEMY
RY VEIN HAUGLAND

PACIFIC BASE lR Captain
Richard Benson, 81, of Worcester,
Mass, thought he was about 10 De
captured by japanese. He was JOY
fully surprised when United States
sailors, instead, fished him from
the sea.
Benson piloted a 18th Air Force
Liberator which was shot up 5y
japanese fighters off the lndlo'
China coast April 8. He and his
crew bailed out. All surviving the
leap except che man whose para
chute failed to open.
The co-pilot, list 1t. Jean V. Van
druff, %, of South Gate, Calf, and
Hominy, Okla. told Of the expert
ence today on his way home Tor
rest furlough.
"After we bailed out" he said,
"the empty B-24 circlcd around US
with a loud whining sound, coming
80 close as we floa+ed down that
some of us were afraid OF being
HIT
He added that they had individ-
ual life RATS but that Benson, who
came down in the sea near the
B-24 wreckage, found one of the
planes big yellow RATS. He inflat-
ed it, climbed aboard and prepared
all equipment for use, even radio.
Three men were picked up by
a Navy rescue plane. Then an
American submarine arrived.
Benson" Vandrutf continued,
"was the last to be picked up. He
thought the sub was japanese SO
he turned the life raft over and
tried to hide under ii. The SUB
commander decided TO have look
under the ratr. And there was Ben
son, looking very surprised"
Psi Mustang fighters of the Sew
enth Fighter Command at Two Jima
are called 'chickens" by the Super
fortresses which they often escort
over Japan. The Mustang pilots
call the supertorts "big friends -
and for a reason. They give the
little fighters navigation home in
return for protection from Japa-
nese interceptcrs.
End 1t. Robert Martin Hathaway
of Flint, Mich recently had occa-
sion to bless 'big friend" His
Mustang, on a low-level attack on
Tokorozawa airfield, near Tokyo,
was hit by japanese shell frag-
ments. Hathaway himself was
nicked in several places.
But the real trouble came when
he found himself all alone at the
homeward rendezvous point off the
japanese coast with nc radio to
guide him TO Two, $50 miles away.
Then the 'big FRIEND came along.
1t led the way home for him.
And there was the case of the
Superfortress which Jagged behind
the Osaka bombing mission be-
cause of engine trouble 1t issued
a radio plea: Chickens, we want
to drop our bombs too. Hang
around a little longer"
Four Mustangs broke away from
the bomber-fighter train and re-
sponded to the request. They were
piloted by Capt. William H. Benton,

Northeast, Southeast
Play Sites Studied by
Planning Commission

Recommendations for new play
ground sites in the Northeast and
Southeast sections, within the boun-
Diary lines of the "old city," are
under study by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Thomas C. Jeffers, civic planner
for the commission, presented a
number of recommendation for ad-
ditions to school Fairgrounds at the
monthly meeting which closed yes
terday afternoon. His report and
study of playground needs in the
area will be made available to the
Board of Education and the Recre-
alton Board
Commission members were of the
opinion, it was said, that somewhat
densely populated areas should be
more adequately served. Similar
studies of the central area have been
made with result that definite
playground sites were recommended
Mr.. Jeffers' recommendation as to
possible sites will not be disclosed
for the present.
The commission approved several
small land transfers, including a
transfer to the District Commits
sioners of park strip at Fourteenth
and Montague streets NV. This will
permit the widening of Fourteenth
street by 20 feet for a distance of
about 200 feet, it was said. The
parking strip is to be eliminated. An
other strip of land was ordered
transferred from the District to the
National Capital Parks Office so as
to round out the Anacostia Park at
Anacostia avenue and Hayes street
NE.
Permission was given the city of
Alexandria to fill in a section of
partly inundated Government land
on the water front for use as a rec
reational area and small boat basin.
Only temporary use Of this property
can be allowed as title is vested in
the National Park Service.
Plans also are under study, it was
disclosed, to eliminate existing traf-
flc hazards at Memorial Circle out
side Alexandria on the Mount Ver-
non boulevard. This study is being
undertaken in conjunction with park
officials and the Bureau of Public
Roads.
Officials said it is possible the Me-
mortal Circle will have to be re-
aligned in order to ease the move
ment of traffic through the circle
Thomas Circle in Washington is an
example of the surface treatment
which officials believe would be de-
ssirable to work out in order to IA
cilitate the flow of traffic.
The next meeting of the commits
sion will be held February 1928.
