Scarborough and gave him his first
victory in six weeks.
Ray has won only five games and
lost l3 this season. a record which
is distinct disappointment to the
Mats. for he finished last year i'm
pressively and apparently was
primed for successful season, but
for the first three months of the
campaign he was employed only in
relief.
Huprling Better Than Record.
Scarborough's sporadic bursts Of
polished pitching In the fading
weeks Of the season have become
routine. When he left the team
late in 1943 to enter the Navy he
did so stamped as the clubs best
pitcher for he had been consistently
effective over long stretch.
He was getting along nicely early
last year, too. on his return to the
team. He looked the part of q
winner until one night he pulled
back muscle warming up to pitch
against Chicago. He pitched any
way and beat the White Sox, but 1t
was q costly triumph. Ray didn't
recover for six weeks and finished
the year with mediocre Iii
record.
Rays pitching this season hasn't
been as bad as the record would
indicate. In the process Of dropping
eight successive decisions he twice
was whipped, 10, by st. Louis. Lost
a 20 verdict to Detroit and a 80
affair to Philadelphia,
When the Mats finally got around
to scoring q run for Ray after 36
innings of zeros with him on the
mound, 1t was Scarborough whe

Lessons in Swimming
Help Overcome Fear
OF Wafer, Expert Says

Knowing how to swim eliminates
unreasonable fear of water and
makes possible > the enjoyment OF
other water sports, George Caputo,
director of che ]earn-to-swim cam
paign, sponsored by The Star and
the YMCA, said today
He pointed out that many persons
cannot enjoy even brief boat ride
because they fear the water-a fear
that disappears when person learns
to swim well.
"Such sports as surfboard riding,
water polo and aquaplaning are
obviously reserved for those who can
swim,o he said. They are all good
reasons for taking advantage OF
the learn-to-swim school"

QUELL UPRISING
Plot TO Divide Northern

rising that police said would
have plunged Salonika into
chaos" has been prevented by
the arrest of 70 persons in that
Northern Greek port city, it was

Communist terrorist" rebellion
in Salonika, the police said they
seized a stock of grenades, dy-
Mantle, pistols, new automatic
rifles, carbines, thousands of
cartridges, swords, light NOR
tar shells and a few large shells.
The plot was described as
having divided Salonika into
three sections, each with its
own terrorist" chiefs, instruct
ors, executioners, saboteurs and
technical advisors, all recruited
from Communist organizations.
Each group was heavily armed,
some of those arrested had
arms on their persons and
others arrested at night had
pistols under their pollows. the
announcement said.
Each of the three groups was
said to have had specific OBJ
jectives and the three programs
were synchronized as a general
offensive to ''plunge Salonika in
to chaos, darkness and panic
and to paralyze the state
machinery"
