 kS STAR BATTER

NEW YORK, May 27-tR- George McQuinn, a 10-year mar in the American League who re- ceived his unconditional release from the lowly Philadelphia Ath- letics last year, leads the Ameri- can League in batting with mark of .331, more than 100 points above his lifetime average of PTS.
 The National League batting leader is another 'unwanted, Harry Walker, who was traded away by the world champion St Louis Cardinals to the Philadel- phia Phils several weeks ago. He is hitting 383.
 McQuinn, up with the leaders all season long but never at the top, slammed 10 hits in g times at bat last week to replace De troits Pat Mullin. The Tiger out fielder fell off from his 400 mark of last week, sinking 47 points to a second place .366.
 In the National, Walker drop ped only seven points from his .390 of last week to 1883, but was receiving stiff competition from Johnny Mize of the New York Giants who raised his average from .333 of a week ago to .356.

By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Spcris Writer)

Skeptics who have counted the St. Louis Cardinals out of the Ma tional League pennant race appar- ently did not reckon with Harry CThe Cat) Brecheen.
 Iris true the world champions are still in the cellar today six games behind the first place New York Giants, but the revived Redbirds, from manager Eddie Dyer down, feel confident that the club will claw it's way up there pretty soon. The Cat has won five of his first seven starts, allowed only 13 runs and 47 hits in 62 innings and fin ished every game he started.
 His latest victory. 31 triumph over the Chicago Cubs last night in St. Louis advanced the Redbirds to within a half game of the sev- enth place Cincinnati Reds. It was also the fourth win in the last five starts for the up and coming Cards.
 In losing the Cubs failed to take over first place from the idle New York Giants dropping a half game behind the Polo Grounders.
 Tanks Continue Bombing
 The largest crowd ever to see single game-74,747 paying custom CTS cheered itself hoarse as the rejuvenated New York Yankees continued their bombardment of Boston Red Sox pitchers by flat tening the American League cham pions, 9-3 in a night game.
 Joltin' Joe DiMaggio, finally dis playing the form that made him prewar great and Bill Johnson each knocked in four runs. DiMag delivered the big blow, .three-run fifth inning home run eff Joe Dob- son which broke a 3-3 deadlock.
 The Yankees, who now have won five straight advanced into second place, three games behind the De- troit Tigers
 Tigers Win

Lefthander Stubby Overmire, making his first start of the season, limited the Indians to six hits in registering the shutout.

Our peacetime steel production has

1Hs YEAR United States Steel will produce 61 more steel
than it did in 1885, the last peacetme year before the
war Our operations approach full capacity Production at
that high level most important today when demands TOR
steel are extraordinary.
Even with an increase Of nearly 100000 tons IN steel
canacv since 194O mills have been strained to supply
steel TO so many industries for things veterans
emergency housing emergency freight automobiles
refrigerators. stoves wire pipe machinery OF all
Sorts and countless other needs
An added difficulty in meeting present demands was the
industry of Is million tons of steel production resulting
from the steel and coal strikes since VI Day.
The demand for many steel products is temporarily in
excess of current supply But although steel inventories
throughout the country gradually being filled, we are
taking still further important steps to increase our capacity
to produce the most needed steel products.
Until November 1st of this year u Steel was spending
2Omon dollars month for construction of new production
facilities During the coming months we shall continue to
spend more than Is million dollars month this exan-
sion program We have scheduled improvements and add
tions costing onehalf billion dollars blast fnaces

Vote Recount Completed
In Prince Georges County

Recount of Prince Georges County
ballots was completed yesterday by
investigators from the special Sem
ate subcommittee investigating
charges of irregularities in the elec-
ton of Senator O'Conor, Democrat,
of Maryland.
Committee attaches indicated
that recounts in three other Mary
land counties - st. Marys Howard
and Baltimore-may be delayed.
Counsel for Senator O'Conor and
Brig. Gen. D. John Markey, his
Republican opponent, agreed with
the committee that the inquiry
would not embrace more than two
counties at a time.
Recounts in Prince Georges and
Anne Arundel Counties have been
completed, but the committee still
has not examined disputed ballots
in Anne Arundel. A similar task
also waits in Prince Georges.
Gen. Markey lost the election by
1892 votes on the basis of the off,
cial State returns. He contends ir-

land was actually sold. Land rents
would serve instead of land taxes
where land was only leased and
some method could be worked out
for reimbursing Maryland Cor later
Virginia, too) for the land tax losses
they would suffer.
This would put in effect some
what the same principle set forth in

9 Charles County Men
Held for 0ystering
In ST. Mary's Waters
speeioI Dispatch 10 The stor

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Feb. 15.-
County lines are as important as
State lines in oystering, those who
follow the trade were reminded to-
day with issuance of warrants
charging nine Cobb Island oyster
men with oystering in st. Mary's
County without license.
The nine, all Charles County resi-
dents, also were charged with pos
session of oysters of less than legal
size, as was another man, who lives
in st. Mary's County.
The charges arose from an Incl
dent Thursday night in which seven
of the men allegedly fled after cut
ting loose two of three boats which
had been taken in tow by a craft
operated by Inspector Windsor
Palmer of the Maryland Tidewater
Fisheries Commission. The viola
tions were alleged to have occurred
off Koppel's Point in the Potomac
River.
Hearing Set Friday.
Trial Magistrate j. Ralph Abel
said he issued the warrants on COM
plant of Inspector Palmer. They
were sent to Charles County Sheriff
Elmer M. Quade at La Plata for
serving.
A hearing is scheduled for 10 am.
Friday before Judge Abel.
Do tf1,
we're being assisted by three State
policemen and three citizens who
had been deputized, it was reported.
The three oyster boats had been
taken in tow with the intention of
placing the occupants under arrest.
When two slipped their tows while
the third remained behind the in
spector'S boat, the inspector was said
to have opened fire on the fleeing
oystermen with machine gun with
out effect.
While there have been previous
arrests in recent months of Mary
landers for violations of the States
oyster laws, most incidents this
winter have involved illegal dredg-
ing by Virginians.
The Maryland and Virginia Legis-
latures have authorized appoint
ment of commissions to confer on
the Potomac River oyster problem.
Maryland's Legislature is expected
to give speedy passage to bill now
in the State Senate which would
authorize the seizure of the boats of
Virginians for illegal dredging. At
present Maryland bans dredging
while Virginia permits it under GER
tain conditions.
Maryland officials have COM
planned that Virginia has not prop
erly punished its own citizens who
violate the fishery laws. Under an
old compact, defendants are tried
in their home States.
