| thought that for once l was 60
ing TO get the chance to write up the
opening game of the Owls the same
week that the game was played, but
luck was against me, as rain washed
out, not only the Owls game with
Lancaster, but every other opening
night game in the League Tuesday
night, with the exception of the
Trenton-Sunbury game, which Tren-
ton won to 4.
The Owls were scheduled to meet
Lancaster last night, but that game
was rained out too.
The teams will play tonight at
the Stadium, weather permitting,
after which Manager Rambert takes
his team to Sunbury for games there
Friday and Saturday. They then
travel to Harrisburg for double
header on Sunday and a single game
on Monday, returning home on Tues
day for a two-game series with York,
followed by three-game series with
Sunbury and a three-game series
with Harrisburg.
Manager pep" Rambert had a
tough job on his hands cutting down
his team over the week end and some
of the decisions were pretty tough
to make. AS the team stands at
present (the complete roster will be
found elsewhere on this page) the
only question mark that I can see
is the outfield, but of course there is
always the question of how the
pitching will look after the season
gets fairly well along. You will
remember that last year at the be-
ginning of the season we looked to
have about the best pitching staff
in the league, but as it turned out,
the pitching wound up being the
weakest link in the chain.
RED" Rolfe, manager of Detroit
farm system, who was here over the
week end and was to stay over for
the opening game, has assured
both Mr.. Sterling, owner of the club
and Manager Rambert, that he will
see that they get whatever rein
forcements are necessary, and here's
hoping that he lives up to his word

make a game of derring- do, to be less
than conventionally sensible, and in gen.

Here is proof positive that romantic
spirits, though rare, are still present

freshing to behold, and all timid, routine
ridden souls must hail them, grudgingly
or not. Any one who sets out to make
mountains taller or to go around the

charm. If only because they lend bit

a kind of blessing leavening the dreary

The Governments Bad Example

Draft Director Leahy'S plan for register
ing prospective draftees at their places OF
employment is such good one that 1t
is difficult to understand why Federal
officials have turned thumbs down on the
proposal One would think that the Gov
eminent would be the first to cooperate
in any program for easing the impact
of the seventeen-day registration on the
community. Instead, the anomalous pic
ture is presented of a hearty response by
some of WaShingtons larger businesses
and institutions, and by the District gov
eminent, while the Federal departments
stand aloof.
Under the plan announced by the Dis
trict selective service director, employees
of private commercial and other organi-
cations will be permitted to sign up for
the draft right where they work. This
arrangement will have the dual advan-
tage of reducing interference with indus
try and tightening the task Of registering
men at regular registration stations in
the schools. The spreading of registra-
ton over so many days, as required under
the age provision of the new draft law,
will be burden on all concerned, at best.
This time the whole business cannot be
finished in one day. as in the past 1t is
advisable, therefore, that the task be
simplifed as much as possible, both for
the convenience of the registrants, Of their
employers and of the draft boards.
The question of Federal participation in
the register where-you-work plan was
voted down by personnel officials of the
various departments, for reasons not ex-
planned. The vote was contrary to recon-
mendations made by the personnel
director of the National Military Estab-
lishment and by the Veterans Committee
of the Federal Personnel Council. 1t will
be too bad If this rejection by depart
mental personnel officials is accepted by
the President as final. The Government
should lead the way in making the regis
tration less complicated for everybody.

A Deserved Tribute

1t is an extraordinary occasion when
baseball writer's are inpelled unanimously
to organize a celebration in honor of one
of the celebrities they have written about
not always with kindness. Such an
event occurred at Griffith Stadium last
night, when writers, players and fans, in
Guiding the Nations number one baseball
enthusiast, President Truman, paid
heart-warming tribute to the veteran
owner of the Nationals, Clark Griffith.
The idea which prompted the local
chapter of the Baseball Writers Associa-
ton to promote the observance was a
sound one. Why wait until a man has
died to honor him? Why not let him know
that he is appreciated while he can enjoy
the knowledge? So it was fittingly ar
ranged to celebrate CLARK Griffith Night"
with most of Washington's baseball old
timers and many league officials joining
in the demonstration.
That such a celebration was possible,
despite the lean years of the local team
since its capture of the 1924 and 1888 pen
nants, is all the more remarkable. This
was recognition in overlooking measure
of the earnest efforts of the "Old Fox to
give Washington fans, year after year,
good baseball, good entertainment and
good craftsmanship. 1t was recognition,
in addition, of the generosity, civic pride
and exemplary citizenship of the Wash
ington clubs president. The City of
Washington and the world of baseball have
good reason to pay their respects to Mr..
Griffith.

The Rure Romantic Spirits

Out in the State OF Washington right
now, four mountaineers, filled with local
pride and high purpose, are trying to
convert Mount Rainier from the fourth
into the second tallest peak in the land
by building a 24-foot cairn on top of 1t.
An unimaginative National Park official
has driven them back, but they still hope
to get up there and do the job. Then,
their work finished, they will descend
glowing with that sense of satisfaction
and delight that cam be derived only from
a genuine labor of love.
Meanwhile, somewhere amid the heaving
waves of the Atlantic, an adventurous
couple-an Australian major named Ben
jamin Carlin and his American-born wife
are bouncing around in 17-foot duck
on the first stage of projected six-month
honeymoon journey in which they hope
to circle the globe. Their plan is to cover
the whole distance-more than Is, 900 miles
solely with the aid of their wobbly little
amphibian craft, which travels Az miles
an hour in water and 20 to 80 miles an
hour on land. One of their incidental
detectives, entirely apart from the desire
to see the world, is to stop off in India
to collect some Army pay still due the
major.
The Carlins and the mountain climbers
quite obviously have lot in common.
They have removed themselves from the
ordinary humdrum living of the world.
They have challenged nature and gone
out looking for risks. They have deviated
from the norm. They have refused
especially the Carlins-to be like the rest
of us stick-in- the-mud They have
chosen to rough it, to seek recreation the
