Clyde Milan, Washington coach, goes
to his Clarksville (Tex.) home for a
hernia operation that will have him
off the field until late in July at
least. In his playing days a fine
outfelder, capable hitter and a
base-stealing champion in the Amer
lean League, Milan since has become
renowned as manager, coach and
above all a gifted teller of tall tales
of the Tennessee hills where he was
born.
Clyde first came to the Washing
ton club in 1907 to develop quickly
into top-notch outfielder. He stole
88 bases in 1912 and IA in 1913 for
American League titles and was held
in such high esteem that he was
teamed with the great Ty Cobb and
Iris Speaker on the leagues all-star
outfit.
Elevated to the management of
the Mats the latter part Of the 1921
season, he piloted the club through
the 1922 campaign, then stepped out
of the majors for a series of man
agerial jobs in the minors, mostly
with Birmingham and Memphis in
the Southern Association. He came
back to the Mats as a coach in 1928
and 1929, then returned to the
minors to remain until 1898, when
he again was placed on the WASH
lngton coaching staff.
Milan's almost Mr.. WASHINGTON
Baseball himself. Here's hoping for
your speedy recovery, Clyde.
With 38 players in the armed serv-
ices, the Mats now stand second
among American League clubs in
providing men to carry on the war.
The Athletics are in front with 49,
while the Tigers are third with 81
All told, there are 274 American
Leaguers in service, just 80 more
than the total of players on the
active list OF the eight clubs.

Washington's Mats go back tc
baseball today, perhaps refreshed by
the rain that washed out yesterdays
engagement with Cleveland. They'll
need to be, for they are running up
against the Tigers, a club that on
paper rates stronger than the Tribe
that swept its curtailed three-game
series here.
Against the Bengals, who in pre-
season calculations were grouped
with the Yankees and the champion
Browns as this years main flag
threats, Skipper Bluege is sending in
Mickey Haefner and Johnny Mig
geling, his hard-luck pair. to pitch
in the double-header slated to start
at 1:30.
II the Mats can muster any kind
OF punch-something they haven't
been able to do for some time-and
II they don't perform in a sandlot
manner afeld, it could be an inter-
esting afternoon.
The Tigers are trotting out a
sparkling veteran and a rookie for
hill duty. One of the games will be
pitched by Hal Newhouser, left
: handler who hurled to the amazing
record of % wins and losses to
lead the American League last year
The other will be pitched by Joe
Orrell, right-hander brought up from
Buffalo to win two and lose one at
the fag end of last season.
Newhousey hurled a six-hit shut
out against the Mats in a double bill
in Detroit. The same day Orrell
pitched a relief inning in which he
set back the Mats in order.
Eager to regain the base stealing
championship he lost last year
George Case will be back in the Mats
lineup almost any day now. In
fact, there is a possibility he'll play
today, although the knee he injured
in Detroit slide isn't quite healed

There is no better time to appraise
the part that American labor played
in our greatest military victory than
this Labor Day of 1945.
So much has occurred since we first
grimly fought of defeat and finally
crushed our remaining enemy that there
has been scant opportunity to review
the whole story of the war and to
understand how its winning was made
possible.
For every one of our gallant fighting
men In Africa. in Europe, in the Pacific
and at our far-flung bases throughout
the world there had to be company
of production soldiers, staying on the
job, working long hours under difficult
and frequently hazardous conditions,
often enduring poor living standards in
crowded war production centers, going
without many necessities and paying
more for what they got.
1t is to the credit of American work.
ers that they did all these things and,
in so doing, achieved a miracle of pro-
duction that kept the supply lines to
all our military fronts and those of our
Allies crowded with the materials that
made victory a certainty.
Strike Time Loss Small.
As major contribution to that VIC
tory I would put at the top Of the list
the determination of our workers to
perform their tasks. to bear their share
of the responsibility.
At the outset Of our entrance into the
war organized labor voluntarily pledged
that no strikes would be authorized for
the duration, despite differences or dis
putes between employers and their
workers.
That there have been strikes is I'M
