All With Al Records
Face Easy Going in
Future Contests
BY BOB MCLEAN.

| ~ DoD VASSAAz1AANs
Deadlocked for first place today,
Eastern, Coolidge and Wilson, big
three of the interhigh baseball cir
cult, face windup campaign
against second-division teams prior
to going into the playoff games the
end of this month.
Only teams to beat a member OF
the big three have come from
the select triangle itself. Eastern
tumbled to Wilson. Wilson took a
licking from Coolidge. And yester-
days 2-to-1 victory of Eastern over
Coolidge completed the daisy chain.
OF the redhot trio, Eastern, on the
basis of the win over Coolidge, rates
as the favorite. However, Wilson
probably will be on top by the
weeks end. The Tigers tackle an
in-an-out Western nine on Friday,
while Coolidge and Eastern don't
swing into further series action
until next week. A win over Western
would give Wilson the loop lead with
Ave triumphs.
Eastern Has Break.
Anything can happen when the
three big guns tangle in the playoff
games. Meanwhile, it appears to
most schoolboy fans that they may
go neck and neck down to the finish
line, finding easy pickings among
the weaker clubs in the final games
listed on the round robin schedule.
Eastern has the best break. The
Ramblers have the cellar twins,
Tech and Anacostia, remaining ON
their pre-playoff list of games. Will
son faces Western and Roosevelt,
while Coolidge will take on Ana
costa and Central.
Central may be the team that
will break the big three deadlock.
The Vikings topped Roosevelt,
l-to-0, yesterday, to take the No. 4
berth in the standings, and while
the win wasn't too impressive, Cen
tral is capable of big things when
the chips are down, as they will
be against Coolidge.
OF the trio Eastern has the edge
in pitching. Paul CDutch) Schaef-
fer, chunky portsider, who let Cool
idge down with two hits yesterday
in his second series start, is the only
finger who has a no-hitter on the
record this year, and shares mound
duties with the capable Phil Coci-
mano.
Homer Averts Shutout.
Schaeffer struck out eight Colts
yesterday, granted but one pass and
had shutout until the last inning
when Chuck Kiesgan of Coolidge
clouted a homer for the Colts only
run.
Dutch won his own game in the
fifth when he banged out a single
to bring in Bill Reinhardt and Ed
Spicer. Reinhardt had singled and
reached third on a passed ball and
wild pitch, and Spicer had walked
and stolen second.

SENATE APPROVES
MID-SEA AIRPORT

WASHINGTON, April II up -
A $3.50, 900 appropriation for con-
structino of a mid-ocean floating
airdrome was approved by the
Senate appropriations committee
today. It was included in recon-
mended 1858, $50, 1888 appropriation
to run the State, Justice and Com
merce departments in the fiscal
year beginning July l.
The idea of building mid-ocean
landing space developed years ago.
1t was suggested then that string
of them be placed across the At
lantic as regular refuelng stops
for transocean airlines.
That conception has been out.
NODDED by the development of long.
range airplanes. Civil Aeronautics
Administration officials said the
idea now is that the airdrome
would serve primarily as q
weather reporting station.
The total in the bill represents
a $12, 1888 increase above the
amount passed by the House.
Other additions made by the
committee to House appropriations
for the CAA included $4O2, 900 fol-
transoceanic. radio range facili
ties to be located at San Francisco
Los Angeles, New Orleans, Bal
boa and Honolulu "a similar facili
ty at New York was approved BY
the House and the Senate com
Inittee).

About halfway up the hillside
600 feet above the Nee

Here was an underground fac-

Sgt. John W. Combs, of Bap-

U. S. sta Ordnance, guarded the
entrance, showed us a detailed
map of the interior. The factory
was divided into some $50 units,
most of them large machine halls.
The plant was evidently one for
the manufacture of the Daimler
Benz airplane motors. Nothing
was lacking even pinup girls
and gas masks.

Each department had its stock

Ventilators pumped fresh air into

The noise in this underground

Joe Louis
ueTOday
For Series

NEW YORK, Oct. 2 (UP) -
Heavyweight champion Joe Louis,
dapper in a civilian gray suit and
mottled red necktie, boarded a
train for his Detroit home and
the World Series today, predicting
that his beloved Tigers would beat
the Cubs four games to two.
Ex-Sgt. Joe, who received his
honorable discharge from the
army at nearby Camp Shanks
yesterday. declared with gusto:
"Ahll see every game of that
series at Detroit and Chicago,
too"
The champ has plans that will
occupy his time until New Years.
After the series, he said, he will
return to New York for some
business huddles with Mike Ja-
cobs. Then he will go to Los An
geleS, where he intends 10 relax
and do preliminary conditioning
until January. He admitted that
most of this preliminary work
would be confined TO golf.
