Torres Boosts Nats> Now Routing Southpaw Jinx
Fed Lefties So Often,
Griffs Finally C|out
Them for Record
By Joe ReichIer
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
Rival managers who have been
lefthanding the Mats since the start
of the season have learned, much to
their dismay, that they have over
done a good thing.
Realizing the Mats possessed a
lineup overwhelmingly composed of
lefthanded sWingers, opposing men,
tors saved their southpaw hurlers
for Washington, with the excellent
results in the first two weeks at
testing to their good judgment.
In the first IA games, opposing
managers shot portsiders at Wash
lngton nine times with six of them
gaining decisions over the Mats.
The net result was that the Mats,
preseason favorites to give their
rivals stiff opposition for the Amer
lean League pennant, found them
selves trying desperately to keep
out of the cellar.
Then, almost overnight, the Mats
solved those troublesome southpaw
slantS. Whereas the lefthanders
had previously tied them into knots.
the Washington wallopers began to
pound their tormentors all over the
lot.
Mats Get Range of Lefties.
In their last seven games, the
Mats have faced four lefties and
have sent them all scurrying for
cover. Last Thursday, they banged
out the Detroit Tigers Lefty Over
mlre with 13-hit attack. The fol-
lowing night they routed Herman
Besse, lefthander belonging to the
Philadelphia Athletics.
On Tuesday, the Mats again en-
countered Overmire and set a season
record of 20 safeties. They added
another southpaw scalp yesterday
when they kayoed young Ted Gray
Detroits rookie lefthander.

to dlsplace the Flatbush favorites
as the National League leaders. A
inning double by Whitley
kuroWski and a 400-foot triple by
Dick Slsler got the run.
The Boston Red Sox dropped
their second game in the last l9 and
their fifth in % games this season
when they bowed to the Chicago
White Sox, 80, but did not lose
any of their 5l2 games cushion. as
the second place New York Yankees
also were beaten, 8-2, by the st.
Louis Browns.
Tribe Blanks AS Twice.
Cleveland came up with some
grade-A pitching to gain a double
shutout over the Athletics, 80 and
SO.
The Chicago Cubs got off on the
right foot in the eastern invasion
by whipping the Philadelphia Phils,
6-4, in a 13-inning endurance con-
test. A three-run homer by Catcher
Clyde Mccullough in the 18th off,
set round trippers by the Phils'
Johnny Wryostek and Del Ennis.
Clncinnati's rising Reds edged out
the New York Giants, 81, in 1g1
inning thriller under lights. after
the Giants Willard Marshall had
tied the score with a ninth-inninp

Eastern Has Big Inning
To Beat Maryland Park

Eastern, last years high school

but is hoping to finish with some
thing better than 500 for the sea-

The Ramblers moved above that
mark yesterday, trimming Mary

II starts. Big frame was the fifth
when they got five runs on singles

Harold V. Feinmark, general or ganizer for Connecticut of the Ameri- can Federation of State, County and Municipal employees, declared this week that plan launched in New Haven providing for municipal em- ployee grievances was a step in the right direction.
 The plan is workable," he said, 'and l am very confident that should any kinks develop later, the administration of the city is ready to sit down and iron them Out.'
 Felnmark was active in achieving passage of city ordinance 215 whose provisions provide for the steps ar aggrieved employee may take.
 Steps Outlined
 Briefly, the plan allows an em- ployee first to take his grievance tc his immediate superior and, if un- satisfied, to his department head. His next higher source of redress is his departmental Labor Relations Com mittee above which is the city-wide Personnel Advisory Board.

Senate Group Okays EM Terminal Leave

WASHINGTON (FP)-The Sem ate military affairs committee has approved the enlisted mems term inal leave pay bill, which is ex- pected to put $3 to $4 billion into the pockets of discharged service men and those still in uniform.
 The bill, passed by the House, was amended at White House suggestion to provide payment partly in govern ment bonds, on the ground that "let- ting loose $3 billion all at once is in fationary."
 30 Days Yearly
 AS presently drawn, the bill allows payment by affidavit of former en- listed men for fur1ough time to which they were entitled but did not use, at the rate of 30 days per year of service.
 Payment is to be calculated by adding subsistence to base pay and longevity. No overseas bonus will count.

As labor has often reported, a group of women, who call them selves ssfeminists," have been pro- moting that constitutional amend ment on the ground that it would give women the same rights as men.
 Wagner read list of 21 prominent judges and law professors who signed statement opposing the amendment and telling why, particularly how working women would be hit. The statement is detailed, but its heart is in these words:
 Would Disrupt Law
 Every statutory and common law provision dealing with the manifold relation of women in society would be forced to run the gauntlet of attack on constitutional grounds.
 ''The long struggle to place on the books regulation of night work, maximum hours of labor and other measures protecting women would be set at naught by this amend ment."

In the July issue of The Intl' Teamster, TObin said that masses of workers who were responsible for l2 years of Democratic majOri- ties under Franklin ID. Roosevelt are not going to the polls because they have no confidence in Demo. cratic candidates and will not vote for reactionary Republicans.
 "I find in travelling throughout the country that there is a general dis satisfaction among those who strongly supported me in my efforts to elect Franklin D.

We would be just as we'll of with the Republican party as we would with what we are getting from the Democratic party
 Results Not Promises
 Tt is somewhat difficult to convince them that Pres. Truman is doing all he can to be helpful. The answer you get (and this comes from former friends of the party) is: Doing all you can is not enough when requests mean nothing. The results speak for themselves"
 Expressing the hope that ''the Democratic leadership will wake up and understand that their hope is in the masses of workers whose confidence today they have lost,' 5 Tobin said that if this doesn't take place all branches of the labor movement will have to unite for action.

Democrats have substantial ma jority in Congress-" he continued, "but there are only about 100 Congressmen who stand up and vote for the work CTS when adverse legislation is aimed at them.
