As Threaten Mats High Place;
Yost Hot, but Mates Fail Him

for three home runs. George Nc
Qulnn'S and Charley Keller'S were
authoritative pokes, but the sixth
inning smash OF Yogi Berra was a
blow which hugged the foul line and
dropped in the stands by the 296-
foot marker-a glorified pop fly.
The Mats got the worst of it In
the tenth. Bobby Brown opened
with a routine grounder at Vernon,
but the ball took weird hop over
MlckeyS head and bounced out of
his glove for single. Yost then
stabbed Tommy Henrich's bounder
and fired to Kozar for what should
have developed as a double play,
but Al dropped the ball and dam
aged a couple of fingers in the
process.
Keller walked to fill the bases and
Forrest Thompson, the Mats third
pitcher, sustained his first major
league defeat when Joe Di Maggie
holSted deep drive to Earl Wooten
in center, allowing Brown to score
after the catch.
KOzar's Fingers TAPPED.
Tips of two fingers on Kozar's
right hand are tapped, with a nail
likely to be lost on his little finger,
but the rookie second baSeman ex-
poets to play tonight against the
AS.
Washington struggled from be-
hlnd four times to tie the score yes
terday. McQuinn shot the Yankees
into a 10 lead with his second
inning homer, but the Mats scored in
the third when Yost romped home
from second after Brown threw wild
past first attempting a double play.
keller's clout in the fourth pre-
sented the Yankees a 81 advantage,
but the Mats erased that when Yost
walked and Kozar doubled in the
fifth. George Stirnweiss' double,
Frank Shea's sacrifice and Tommy
Henrich's fly lifted New York into
command at 30 in the Yankees
fifth.
Again the Mats bounced back when

Lou Boudreau, batting .5l9 for his
unbeaten Cleveland Indians, is a
solid argument for the survival of
the player-manager In the major
baseball leagues.
Last Of the major leaguers who
combines the two difficult jobs, Bou-
dreau almost lost his portfolio last
fall. Only a flood of mail from
aroused Tribe fans induced Owner
Bill Veeck to call off q tentative
trade with st. Louis.
Instead of trade, Boudreau was
signed to virtually a two-year con-
tract" according to Veeck.
The cares" of bossing the Indians
to six straight wins have weighed
so heavily on Lou that he has been
able to hit safely only IA times in
27 at bat. This is tops in the
league. With nine runs batted in,
he is tied for the lead. His short
stop work remains unchallenged.
Indians Approaching Record.
Boudreau pounded out four
straight hits, including a double
and home run, in yesterdays So
victory over the st. Louis Browns.
The team now needs only three
more triumphs to tie the modern
day record for wins at the start Of
the season.
The New York Yankees got their
Joe Di Maggio-Joe Page combina-
ton working for a 5-4 edge over
Washington in 10 innings. The re-
suit moved the Yanks into second
place, going into the important

Boston cut loose with a barrage

For the Griffmen. still weary from

Florida, the home stand will be
welcome relief.
The Mats are convinced they've
discovered the ideal leadoff man
In Eddie Yost, but they're having
dlttculty CapltaliZing on his ability
to reach base. He's providing the
beacon to big first innings, but the
Mats can't remain in the channel
Washington has played nine
games and in five Of them Yost has
reached base in the first inning
through the medium of two triples,
a double, single and a walk. He
has walked nine times and displays
1853 batting average.
When the Mats dropped a 50, 10
inning tuSSle to the Yankees yeSter-
day at New York the trim young
third baSeman reached base four
times on walks. He has been to bat
AZ times in the infant season and on
% occasions has reached base
through some medium.
Lately, though, Eddie's labor has
been wasted. He opened with a
triple the other night against Bos-
ton, yet failed to score. Against the
Yankees in the first inning yester-
day Yost walked and Al Kozar fol-
lowed with luSty double, but the
Mats got nothing.
Due for Turn in Luck.
The Mats are convinced their luck
will turn for the better in that re-
spect. They were deprived of a DO
tential big inning against the Red
SoX when Mickey Vernon's crisp
single nicked Kozar on the foot.

MAIN Story on National Capital
Open on Page A-1.)
By MerrelI WhittIesey

|
Bobby Locke's sparkling IS in the
first round of the National Capital
Open was fully appreciated by the
spectators, as was the 81 by West
ern Open Champion Johnny Palmer,
the latter's finest tournament start.
But the fans sort of expect Locke
and Palmer to shoot 65s and Cts
and thus the 5-under-par totals by
three other guys were more heart
ening to the average golfer.
The first St posted was by Tommy
Wright, a lean, gaunt SHOEMAKER
from Knoxville, Tenn. Wright last
year was 10 under par for the first
36 holes here. When Sam Snead
started his third round, 5-4, against
Wright's 33, they were tied for the
lead. But Tommy started losing
strokes from there in and he finished
well back.
Wright has been playing pro golf
since he was 1912 years ago-but
his main claim to- fame before he
finished second to Lew Worsham
in the $4,000 Denver Open last
year was that he holds the low
qualifying score for the National
Open-132.
Plays With No Practice.
Wright, the father of four girls,
quit the winter tour last year at
Richmond. Calf, because he didn't
like that part of the country" He
intended to leave for Prince Georges
late last week, but that was before
he was asked to be a pail bearer
for a former buddy whose body was
brought home from France for re-
burial. The funeral was on Tues
day and Wright left the following
night and arrived here yesterday
morning after little sleep and no
practice.
There was nothing unusual about
Wright's round until the 18th hole.
He missed tiny putt on the 18th,
but then roared home with three
straight brides from puts of -,
l8 and Is feet.
Waiter Romans, the 30-year-old
ex-New York pro who stepped into
the Baltimore Country Club Job two
years ago when Bill Scott retired
caught the gallery completely bv
surprise when his late afternoon
33-34-67 was announced.
WeitzePs Best Tourney Round.
On Monday at Manor Club
Romans failed to qualify for the
PGA with his 74-73-147. The
slightly built Romans had his
mallet-head putter working to per-
lection yesterday, however, but what
was more important to him, he said
he was hitting the ball we'll.
! Romans has a lot of confidence
in himself and the Ct came as no
surprise to him.
Johnny Weitzel, youngest Of the
par breakers at %, was a discon-
solate young man on the practice
tee. He was getting miserable re-
suits and was about to uuA in dis
gust when Locke stepped over and
offered suggestion. They had met
previously as playing partners in an
exhibition match at WeitZel's Manor
Club course in Reading, Pa.
/ Aided by Locke's bit of technical
advice, Weitzel went out and posted
the lowest competitive round of his
career. His 81 included three-putted
green's on and 7, which brought
him back to even par, and he played
5-under-par golf from that point.
Weitzel turned pro after he re-
turned from italy, where he served
with the 9lst Infantry. He played

BALLS BILL TO WEAKEN WAGE.h0uR

Minnesota Republican Senator. Joe Ball,
enc Of the big puShers behind the Taft-Hart-
ley Act. has now gone to work again.
This time he has written his own bill to
emasculate the ten-year old Wage and Hour
Act.
When hearings began last week on the
Fall bill Harvey W. Brown. president of the
Machinists. took the occasion to tell Mr.. Ball
and several other senators exactly what the
labor thinks Of the Ball proposals:
Wages. Balls offer to raise the minimum
wage level from the present 10 cents an hour
to 60 cents an hour has a false bottom that
would allow industry "IF IT WISHES" to
lower the rate to 50 cents an hour. Govern
ment. labor and even industry leaders have
agreed that the 40 cent limit is outmoded and
should be raised to Is cents to make up for
the increased cost Of living. a bill offered
by eSnator Ebert Thomas d., Utah) calls
for the raise to Is cents and Mr.. Brown plac-
cd the LAM s%quarely in favor of that figure.
Coverage. Instead of getting more peo-
pie the benefits of the law. Balls bill wants
to get more people exempt from it. The pres
ent law is bad enough. Mr.. Brown told the
senate sub committee. with its provisions that
allow almost two million people-who ought
w - w - + - IhN
and labor have been working to get these
people out from possible sweatshop condi-
tons. Now Senator Ball wants not only to
refuse to make the law available to these
millions of Americans but he wants to ex-
clude another 5000 from the law.
Child Labor. The Ball bill. realizing cur
rent public opinion, makes a token pass at i'm
proving child labor regulations, but it is far
less satisfactory than the Thomas bill.
Overtime Pay. Senator Ball gets in his
blow at unions here. This provision of the
law will permit unions to agree to standards
OF overtime pay that would be inferior to
rates paid non-union employees. Effect of
such a provision would be to foster the cstab-
lishment Of many more company unions, and
lead to serious dislocation of collective bar
gaining relations between outside unions and
management.
Not Directly Affected
While we of organized labor would not
be directly affected BY the down-grading of
the present act" Mr.. Brown told the senators,
I'VE realize that neither our members or the
employers fro whom they work operate in a
vacuum. We of the IAN have an obligation
to millions of unorganized workers who must
depend upon the conscience Of society and
the activity Of organized labor for protection
against low wages, long hours and unsafe
working conditions

CAN'T EXPECT 70 BRIGHTEN STAIN
WITH OUR TEEN AYERS

They tell us that the real reason for adopt
ing Universal Military Training is to convince
the Russians w mean business in Europe.
If we were Joe Stain or Molotov. the news
that the United States had voted for UNIT
would hardly strike terror TO our hearts. It
would mean that the JS.A had decided TO
give six months of basic training TO It's teen
ayers and then require that they serve for
six additional months in the national guard.
That would hardly force Aiolotov to order
his Russian agents out of Italy or France or
Norway.
We know and the Russians know that the
great strength Of the United States is not the
numbers of its troops. With a greater popu-
lation. Russia can always mount a bigger
army. The superiority Of the United States
lies in its factories and its shops. We won
the war against Germany. Japan and Italy
because we were able to equip our troops and
those of our allies with more airplanes, more
ships. more ammunition than all three OF the
Axis nations together.
If there is an emergency and we have got
to start again preparing for war in order to
convince Russia. then we should start prepar-
ing to draft industry as we did in 1910.
That would mean reimposing excess prof
its taxes and authorizing our armed forces to
impose priorities on factory output and to al
locate essential raw materials. That's what
an emergency would require.
But, the senators and congressman who
are so keen on tanning through UNIT have
MT said a word about drafting industry.
Either they think they can fool the Rus
slams with UMT-which WE doubt-or they
are merely using Russian expansion to put
over peacetime military training-which we
oppose.
We believe that Stain and Molotov would
pay more attention to a bill appropriating
funds that would permit our aircraft indus
