 DoubIehedder
(Bv The Associated Press)

Washington's pennant boom col lapsed like a house of cards today as the Senators picked themselves up off the floor and tried to dust off the humiliation of losing two straight doubleheaders.
 Detroit came into town last night for the opening battles of the years first "crooshul" series and dropped the Mats to their knees on a pair ot superior pitching jobs by Hal New houser and Al Benton. St. Louis had flattened Ossie Bluege'S men twice Monday night.
 Boston moved past Washington into a percentage tie with the New York Yankees, who were rained out of a doubleheader with St. Louis, when Dave Ferriss, beaten only by the Yankees, who did the job twice, reelected to his sixteenth pitching triumph, and his seventh in sue cession by trimming Chicago yester- day.
 Cleveland and Philadelphia battled for two hours and 35 minutes but had nothing better than a 2-2 tie to show for their efforts as rain intervened in the top of the thir- teenth inning and washed out scheduled second tilt. They will try it again tonight.
 Only change in the National stand ings resulted when the New York Giants won twice and pulled past the Pirates into fourth place. The St. Louis Cardinals blew chance to pick up a full game on the leading Chicago Cubs when they dropped the second of two to the Phillies.

funds for the construction of public airports if legislation now before the House becomes law
 The bill, introduced by Chairman Lea of the House Committee of In- terstate and Foreign Commerce, em- braces authorization for appropria- tions for the United States, includ- ing territories and possessions, and the primary object of the measure is to provide Federal cooperative aid for a national system of airports
 To carry out this program as it concerns the territories and possess ions, the bill authorizes annual ap- propriations amounting in the aggre- gate to $50,000,000 over a ten-year period. Not more than $10,000,000 of this amount is to be expended in Alaska, not more than SIS, 1000, 900 in Hawaii, and not more than $10,O00,- 0o0 in Puerto Rico.
 At the request of Delegate Bart lett and with the cooperation of Con- gressman Alfred Bulwinkle, Chair man of the subcommittee handling this measure, special provision has been written into the bill which pro- vides that the municipality in Alaska planning to construct a pub lie airport will bear 25 percent of the cost of the airport construction, rather than being required to make a 50 percent contribution, as in the States, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

As re- suit, he was unable to give his best in the race. And Haegg probably could have done better, but he failed to do so because he wasn't pressed
 Even as it was, Haegg set a new world record for the mile-four min utas, one-and four tenths seconds.
