MELBOURNE TO FACE CLINTON
Buccaneers Meet Blues In
Stadium Tilt Tonight
Britain Hopes Van Lingle
Mungo Will Hurl For
League Leaders
Bx ROY COOK

A heavy doWnpour Monday after
noon caused the postponment OF
the Pirate-Sanford contest at
Legion Field.
Tonight the Pirates will face the
league leading Clinton Blues under
the giant lights at 7:45 o'clock.
Manager Gus Britain announced
his starting lineup for the Clinton
games as follows: Olson, 2b, Gull
len, SIS; Smith, ri; Lamb, 3b;
Stateon, c; Poklemba, Id; DiOrio,
II; Skinner, CT, and Johnny Will
bourne, pitching.
Olson Signed
Norman Olson will play his first
game for the locals tonight against
his former teammates. He Vas
released from the Clinton Blues
and signed Monday by the Pirates
Olson is the property of the Tampa
Smokers and was acquired on op-
ton by the Pirates. His home
Is in Wisconsin.
Larry DiOrio, who has played a
couple of games in left field for the
last place Buccaneers is playing
his first season in organized base
ball. He started with Hickory ana
was obtained from that club by
the locals. He is from Long Island,
N. Y, where he played on several
semi-pro clubs.
Wilhourne to Hurl
Slated for mound duties against
the league leaders, Johnny Will
bourne is we'll known to local fans.
He pitched for Bert Kites semi
pro nine last season and will be
remembered for the excellent job
he did against Max Lanier and the
Fort Bragg team here last sum-
mer. Johnny allowed but four hits
in the contest and be 5ted the
mighty Max who was touched for
nine bingles by the semi-pro nine.
He has been with the Montgomery
club since the season began and
was bought by the BUGS a few
days ago.
Britain wants Mungo
Manager Britain when asked if
he thought Clinton would send Van
Lingle Mungo to the mound against
his charges said. Il sure nope they
do. We would like to be the first
team to face that boy" and added
81 knew him in '37 when I was
with the Reds. He sure does have
plenty on the ball, at least he did
then. But, that's been nine years
ago."
~Remarking that if Wilbourne
bested Max Lanier when Max was
in his prime, II don't see why
Johnny can't beat Mungo, who
must have lost some of his stuff
since I last saw him play"
Britain said he was still "hot"
on the trail of other players and
concluded his confab with the re-
mark that he was going to get his
club out of the cellar. :" We been
down there too darn long" he said.

benefits was introduced yesterday
by Chairman Downey of the Senate

Another measure would allow
workers, retired on disability and
recovered from their illness since
last June 80, to receive regular
annuity at 55 or over If unable to
find unemployment in the Govern
ment. Present law prevents them
from receiving a regular annuity on
a continued basis, even though un-
employed and above the minimum
retirement age Of SIS.
The fourth bill would allow per-
sons leaving an agency to keep the
cash lump sum paid them in lieu of
accumulated annual leave even if
they get another job Immediately.
Under present rules the sum Is con-
sidered salary" and must be re-
turned in whole or in part if the
