Takoma Parks pride and joy
today is 20-year-old Bette Roland,
a whisp of a lass who's studying
to be secretary, but needs no
lessons in her favorite pastime-
swimming.
Bette, who has been swimming
for 10 years, shone like the bright
stars overhead last night at Indian
Spring Country Club, scene of the
swimming phase of the 1949 Pres
ident's Cup Regatta.
The Regatta shifts to the Poto-
mac River off East Potomac Park
Saturday morning as outboards
and inboards, including the spec
tacular Gold Cup craft, take over
for two days.
But, to return to Indian Spring,
Bette was, without question. the
outstanding swimmer on the dis
taft side. After earning a first
and a second in events Saturday,
she returned last night to win
the 150-meter individual medley
and the 100-meter freestyle.
Earns Presidents Cup Regatta.
In taking the 150-meter event,
Bette earned the Presidents Cup
Regatta trophy she missed win
ming a year ago by two-tenths OF
a second. This time, however
she finished nearly four body
lengths ahead of Gail Peters, star
of the Brighton Swimming Club
of Atlantic City, N. j., and, in the
process, set a new District AAU
record of 2:08.4.

Connie Said His Club
Would Take Big Hand
In Settling Pennant
By Jack Hand
Associated Press Sports Writer

Connie Mack, the "ageless'
manager of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, knew what he was talking
about when he said his AS would
have a lot to say about who would
win the American League pennant.
They'll have to beat the AS
first" he said last week. He wasn't
kidding. Yesterday he proved 1t
for the benefit of the Boston Red
Sox, who suffered two shocking
setbacks at Shibe Park.
The Sox, only half-game be-
hind New York Saturday after
noon after the Yanks lost the
first game of a doubleheader to
Washington. now are three full
games back. Furthermore, they
have only IS to play.
Boston belted the AS IA out
of 20 this season until they blew
yesterdays pair. Ga and 40. 1t
may have cost them the pennant.
However, Mr.. Mack's gang also
has three more dates with the
Yankees in the last week of the
season.
New York took care of Wash
ington yesterday, 20-5 and 81.
Detroit continued it's surge, as
Virgil Trucks shut out Chicago,

win. The Tigers have won 18 of
their last 20 and hold third place,
a half game ahead of the Defend
ing World Champion Cleveland
Indians who lost at st. Louis. 5-4.
The Tigers are 5l2 games behind
the YankS with only IA to go.
They could do it, but it would re-
quire a miracle finish.

MERION, Pa, Sept. ia field
of 1913 golfers tees off today at
Merton Golf Club and by next Sat-
urday evening one of the number
will have waded through seven
matches to become the 49th wom-

Which contestant that would be

twosome left the first tee for the
first round, although naturally the
defending champion. Grace Len

as a staunch contender.
However, Miss LenczykS game

overseas as we'll. Miss Frances
Stephens of Bootle, England, win
ner of the tough British women'S
golf tournament this year, is on
hand with an eye toward making
1t a double by taking the American
crown as well.
Four former champions also are
in quest of greater glory. They

Mrs. Helen B. Stetson of Abing-

ton, winner in 1907, 1911 and 1912.
Helen Sigel of Philadelphia,

Yanks GET Free Ride
F|agward as Mats SET
Record for Passes
By Burton Hawkins

The Washington Mats. camou-
faged in the clothing of major
leaguers. will return to Griffith
Stadium tomorrow night to face
the Chicago White Sox with un-
disputed possession of an all-time
record for futility through walk
ing II New York Yankees in one
inning.
That outburst of pathetic pitch
ing in the course of dropping 20-5
and 2-1 decisions to the Yankees
yesterday at New York before
Al 800 witnesses was inept enough
to assure the Mats niche in an
unenviable portion of the record
book, but hardly could be qualified
as shocking.
Washington's pitchers have been
taking dead aim at bases on balls
records all season. Yesterday
Paul Calvert, Dick Welteroth.
Enrique Gonzales and Buzz Dozier
collaborated in walking II Yam
KEGS in the first game, but that
was no isolated instance of Wild
ness on wholesale scale.
That quartet missed the major
league mark for most walks in =
game by one, but in other games
this year Washington's pitching
has been nearly as obnoxious.
Against Philadelphia and Boston.
for instance, they have walked IS
batters in game. Against Chi
cago and st. Louis they have is
sued 13 passes.
Face More Ignoble Distinction.
Recognized as blotches on base
balls complexion, the Mats cellar
specimens have lost so of their
last so games and virtually are
assured of becoming the worst
Washington team in 40 years.
They could avoid that additional
ignominy by capturing IL of their
last II games but the odds against
this are enormous.
Since mid-July the Mats have
played at a .167 pace to suffer
through two of the most miser-
able months in baseball history.
1t has featured combination Of
horrid pitching, wretched fielding,
infrequent hitting and stupid base
running.
In helping the Yankees pen
nant pursuit yesterday the Mats
never displayed less gray matter.
They simply made gift OF the
second game, called at the end Of
the Mats sixth, through the medi-
um of thoughtless base running.
The Mats entered the sixth
inning trailing, 20, but successive
doubles by Bob Ortiz and Eddie
Robinson staked the Mats to a
run and shelled Fred Sanford
from the mound. In came Joe
Page, but Clyde Vollmer greeted
him with single to right.
Milan Has Coaching Lapse.
To the accompaniment Of de-
lighted whoops of the customers.
Robinson halted at third-stopped
by Coach Clyde Milan. That act
came as a welcome shock to Right
fielder Cliff Mapes, who had as
sumed the run would score and
had tossed the ball gently to
second base.
Eddie Yost lifted a pop fly to
short left which Phil Rizzuto
dropped. Robinson, taking a
short lead off third, fell down
when he broke for the plate and
was forced to scamper back 10
third as Rizzuto tipped the ball
to second, forcing Vollmer. Mark
Christman then hit into a double
play and darkness mercifully
brought halt to Washingtons
ineffeciency.

singles by Gene Woodling, Fenton

Jack Graham's 25th homer with
the bases empty and Paul Leh-
ner's three-run pinch homer, both
in the sixth, enabled the Brownies
to dump Cleveland into fourth
place. AL Benton, nicked for both
blows, was the loser to Cliff
Fannin.
PoIlet Scores 18th Victory.
HOWE Pollet won his 10th for
the Cardinals with the help OF
a five-run blast against Rookie
Harry Perkowski from Syracuse
in the first inning of the second
game at Cincinnati. Musial hit
two homers in the second game
and one in the first when Re
liefer Gerry Staley took the nod
over Ed Erautt.
The Dodgers had rough going
with the Giants as the result of
early homers by Sid Gordon and
Whitley Lockman until they cut
loose with the six-run squirt in the
seventh. Carl Erskine, relieving
Jack Banta, was credited with his
seventh straight victory since his
recall from Fort Worth. He lost
once in April.
Heintzelman and Meyer, with
assistance from Curt Simmons in
the ninth inning of the second
game, made it IL wins for the
Phils in their last IS games. Bill

DR.. Rutland Suggests
Meeting With Critics
OF Health Proposal

Expressing regret that his
position seems to have been mis-
understood. Health Ofhcer George
c. Ruhland today offered to meet
critics Of his recent suggestion
that colored persons planning to
move into Washington from the
South be screened" as q pre-
caution against adding TO the
unhealthy conditions in sluh
areas.
DR.. Rutland said that white
as well as Negro families wishing
to come here should be included
in his suggestion, although 1t Is
IAN unfortunate fact that the
majority Of those willing to accept
slum conditions here are Negroes. =
Wants Howard Specialists Present.
The health ofiicer said he was
anxious to discuss the situation
with interested individuals or
groups on the basis Of mutual CO.
operation and in the interest Of
understanding for the common
good, but he felt 1t only fair that
Negro specialists like those In the
Department Of Public Hygiene at
Howard. University be present to
present their views.
Several Negro groups have de-
manded DR.. Ruhland's removal
since his remarks were published
Wednesday. The District pr"1r.s-
sive Party yesterday added an
other statement to these express
sions which said in part:
The arrogant, patronizing and
detestable statement of DR.. Ruiz
land blaming Negroes for the un-
healthy conditions in Washington
ignores the responsibility which
the Board of Trade and the Con-
gress clearly have for these con-
ditions. The District Progressive
Party calls on President Truman
