Bradley Takes F irst Game OfFirst ServiceCommand
 Tourney in Tight Contest

Bradley Field climbed the first step in the First Service Command Softball Tournament Thursday in defeating the Westover team by q score of 3 to 2 in seven exciting innings.
 After trailing by 2 runs for all most 7 innings, Ferraco started a rally which pulled the game out of the fire for Bradley Field. Ferraco slammed beautiful triple and was scored by Kresge on long outfield fly. Vogel followed with single and made 3rd on a hit by DeKasi- ca. Hoffman batted next and scored both men on long winning double. The final score was 3 to 2, thus eliminating Westover Field from the championship play-offs.

The Base gym took terrific lac. ing this week in that popular spor, known as transfers. In one fel swoop of Special Orders such gym luminaries as Johnny Gutkowski Johnny McClain, Harrington, "Kid' Noto (who only served with the athletes for a few days) and It Rube Mallach found themselves of for other climes. Outstanding vic tim of the departing of these boys will be the Base Softball Team, for the pitching of It. Mallach and general all-around ability of Gut kowski often sparked the team to it's many victories. Incidentally, Al Provost, Bradley's Proud Papa of Boxing" was scheduled to leave but was washed out during the weighing-in and is still with us. Nice to see at least one familiar face over at the gym these days, anyway, and our occasional rub downs at the hands of the prof cient Al won't suffer.

Dawson Looms Top
Leader In Washington

ASSURED OF COUNSEL
The inference is being drawn that
because of Hannegaus assured
strength, Dawson has acquired the
assurance that his counsel will be
heavily leaned upon. Both men, it
is pointed out, speak the same
language politics"
Perhaps more important than
this, however, is the fact that Daw-
son was named special assistant
to the party chairman last fall, an
assignment which held only for the
period of the campaign. Hannegan
has looked favorably upon the job
Dawson did for the party But the
question remains unanswered as
to whether Dawson will be accord

The conjecture is that he may
not be disposed to accept the per-

laid down by him to the party have
first been honored.
