lin depth than any other single 1ac-
tor, Manager Ossie Bluege's men
today are only one-half game be-
hind the league-leading Detroit Ii
gers. The Senators were idle 90
day, without a chance to improve
their own lot. Detroit, however,
had a double engagement at Chi
|cago.
Bluege's battery boys recently
faced the real task of hurting five
doubleheaders in as many days,
and Ossie saw his teams pennant
chances begging Town.
But the Senator's mainstays-
Roger Wolff, Dutch Leonard, Mari
no Pieretti, Mickey Haefner, John
Niggeling and Alex Carrasquel-
and a rookie, Walter Holborow,
proceeded to turn in what unques-
tionably stands as one of the finest
strings of low-run performances in
this or any other season.
Over that burdensome span, the
Senators won nine of 10 games,
with the pitchers holding their op-
ponents to the remarkably low av-
erage of slightly more than one
run per nine innings. The actual
count: IL runs in SO i , ,ngs.
In Washington nine victories,
the starting pitcher went the route
with the sole exception of Sum
days first game, which the Sena-
tors won in IA innings, 50. Even
then, starter Dutch Leonard was
on the mound in the ninth but in
jured his knee fielding bunt.
Two of Washington's nine wins
were shutouts-3-0 by Wolff over
Philadelphia, and HolboroW's sur
prising 40 two-hitter over Boston.
In five of the triumphs the oppo-
sition made only one run.

 Yesterday, Father Sullivan at tackled the editorial attitude ana tone of the writer of he DeValera writings and emphasized what he termed was prejudiced attitude toward Fire.
 While not condoning the Prime Ministers actions, Father Sullivan cited the editorial as just another opportunity to criticize Irish affairs. The theme of the criticism was dwelt on the personal atti' ude ot the editorial writer.
 Rev. Edward L. Morrison's criti- cism said in part that, he could not help but feel that the ed'- torial writer was standing on the premise that one religion was as good as another. Then he added that by the same measurement, one religion is as bad as another. This clashes sharply with Catholic teaching, he said.

British Wont
 Big Three To Gother Aoain
By CHARLES ARNOT

London, May .-UP)-Diplomatic sources said today that President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill already were taking up with Premier Stalin the mysterious Soviet arrest of 16 Polish under ground leaders.
 Official British quarters, mean time, urged another personal meet ing of the big three to settle all as- poets of the Polish problem, the big gest controversy threatening Allied unity.
 Although no arrangements were believed yet made for big three conference, British authorities said the need for high-level discussion had become urgent with Russia's disclosure of the arrests
 Diplomatic sources said the ar rested men were ameng those who had been recommended by United States and Britain to the Soviets for inclusion in the proposed Polish provisional government of national unity.
 The Polish Telegraph Agency, mouthpiece of the Polish exile gov- ernment in London, said the ar rested Poles had led the Polish un-
