40 Veterans Play Major Part
As Lions Open With Victory

Largely responsible for the Wash
ington Lions successful jump from
Eastern League amateur to Ameri-
can League professional hockey are
the boys who played on last years
team here. Holdovers Johnny Carr
Harris, Joe Ciuman, Walt Babey
and Bud Foley presented familiar
faces to the crowd of 3,135 at Uline
Arena for last nights opener, and
they did major share of the work
as the Lions tripped the Philadel-
phia Rockets, 60.
Another big factor was a very
fancy job of net tending from Cor
don Bell, newcomer. Bell was
nothing less than sensational last
night. Wally Kilrea, the Philadel-
phia coach, praised the Lion goalie
all over the arena after the game
He's the one that beat U.s. If /,
wasn't for him, and the fact that
our goalie let down in the last
period. we would have won by about
10 to g" he said. The kids the
best. We won't run into that kino
of work around this league much
this year."
Just how important the Lion
holdovers were is shown by the
scoring figures. That little handful
of Eastern League vets scored foul
of the six Washington goals anc
was credited with four Of the sever
assists. Carr-Harris did so per cent
of the scoring to complete the hat

Mel Harder Will Tutor
All Pitchers Owned
by Cleveland Club
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. IS. Twenty
years Of faithful service to the
Cleveland Indians today brought
Pitcher Melvin Leroy Harder the
reward of a job unique in baseball
coach at large Of all pitchers in
the Tribe and its 10 farm clubs.
The tall righthander, who is 80
years old today, will work with new
members OF the Indians mound
staff some of the time when the
Tribe is at home. but his chief con-
cern will be developing the most
promising Of some ITO youngsters
hurting under Indian contracts in
minor leagues throughout the coun-
try.
Harder will be free to 60 when
and where he chooses, Bill Veeck
Indians president, said last night in
announcing the appointment.
IF there's kid on the Bakers
field club who looks as if he needs
some personal attention Mel can
hop out to California and spend q
day or a week or month with
him." Veeck explained. "Ill depend
absolutely on his judgment. He
knows more about pitching than
I do"
Salary for Harder's new job, Veeck
said, will be the same as he earned
this year when he won and lost 4
of Is games in which he hurled for
the Tribe. That salary was be-
ieved to be about $4,000.
The prospect of being a pitching
professor delighted Harder who saio
he thought "therell be as much kick
in helping to develop a boy Who'll
win 20 games for the Indians as In
winning 20 myself"

Jamaica Meet Opens
Today; May Settle
3-Year-0Id Title
By the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Whether
Phalanx or one of a half-dozen
other contenders Is the rightful
claimant to 1947 3-year-old honors
may well be decided during the
12-day autumn race meeting sched-
uled to open at Jamaica today.
Among the six stakes on the meet
ing's docket Is the $500 3/16-
mile Roamer Handicap, which will
be run on Saturday. Since this is
the last race Of the New York season
exclusively for 3-year-olds, its re-
suit will have considerable bearing
on horse-of- -the-year honors In the

For a time 1t was feared the

Not. The rest would have been ex-
cluded because of the ban on horses
shipping into New York tracks,
precautionary move to cope with the
New England swamp fever epidemic.
However, the ban was lifted by
the Jockey Club yesterday and this
will permit the shipment of these
and other stake nominees from the
New Jersey and Maryland tracks.
Loyal Legion won the mile and
quarter Maryland Handicap at
Laurel last week, while Cosmic Bomb
was taking honors at Garden State.
Meanwhile, the threat OF a strike
by grooms and exercise boys re-
mained while delegates Of the team

noontime meal of cheese on whole wheat

the gym, fifteen minutes early.
For long while Glenna didn't come
down. Josie sat by herself. atop one of the
wooden ''bleachers" which ran along under
the balcony, and watched the Delta

She took out piece of paper and pencil
and tried to write new poem, but couldn't
think of anything.
Then she saw Glenna - idling across the
gym with Jack Barr, the basketball cap
tain. She called out, ''Glennar' But Glenna
didn't hear her.
The gym had never seemed 50 wide to
Josie, nor the Delta corner" so crowded to
pass through. She kept saying, Pardon me,
pardon me-" and finally she was next to
Glenna. Glenna was asking Jack Barr to
her party tonight.
"Everyone's coming" she was telling
Jack, everyone in town.
Josie felt the pulse ffuttering in her throat

against Jack Barr's shoulder, still laughing.
'It's something else - really it isl
Josie reached out for the Clarion with
her poem in it. Her skirt had come unpinned
at the side, and her sweater had slipped out
again. But holding herself very erect, she
walked back across the gym.
She remembered hundred times, seeing
Papa walk this way - his back straight, his
head high, wearing his dress suit in the
broad light of day. with the trousers that
had grown slightly shiny.
She had never known before that anyone
laughed at Papa - that anyone could be
blind enough to see only his outer self, and
miss the true artist. She d never known that
anyone could laugh at man who could
draw such music from wooden box.
With her chin still high, Josie climbed to
her special spot - alone, at the top of the
''bleachers."
Above the racket and hubbub of recrea-
ton time in the gym, she could hear again
the notes of that song Papa had been prac-
ticing this morning - the sad, wondering
notes of song by Schumann.
She took out a scrap of paper and
pencil and hastily began to write poem to
60 with that music
When the bell rang, she looked up dazedly
Her gaze focused on the Delta corner with
an almost detached curiosity. There was the
usual excited talk, the usual shrill, high
pitched laughter
They knew nothing of the JOY and wonder
of creating poem; they didn't understand
about Papa, and his friendly world of
music, of beauty

Business Executives Pledge
Aid in Bond Sale Drive
by HE Assoeiofsd Press

A score Of prominent. business
executives promised their aid to
Treasury officials yesterday in .
Nationwide campaign to increase
sales Of Government savings bonds
as means of fighting imitation.
They agreed at a meeting with
Secretary Snyder and Undersecre-
tary A. Lee Virgins to serve on Q
new industrial advisory committee.
Six were chosen as an executive
committee to meet in New York
December 10 to draw up working
plans for the drive and for business
participation in 1t, largely through
payroll savings programs.
Mr.. Virgins told the group q
prime way to attack imitation is
to reduce the national debt out of
a budget surplus attained from tax
revenues, and to soak up buying
power by sales Of savings bonds to
individuals. Receipts of the bond
sales can then be used to pay off
Government debts held by the
banks, thereby cutting down bank
lending ability, he said.
