The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-03-03
Along the Potomac
to Washington
BY j. Glenn Beall


During the next week or ten days
the House will consider the so-called
pension bill for veterans Of World
Wars | and H. While there is some
opposition to a pension bill for vet
Grams, | have long felt that these
older men who have given SO much
for their country and now are physi-
cally incapicated to such an extent
they are unable to secure employ
ment, are entitled to some recog-
milton.
Their disabilities may not be direct
ly service-connected but | do feel that
their service in the armed forces has
had definite effect on their health.
1t is my intention to support a pen
sion plan although | hope that the
pending legislation will be amended
in certain respects so that it will re-
fleet the views of the American Le-
gion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
the Disabled Veterans, and the Am
vets.
President Truman, who recently re-
ceived a raise in pay and other emolu-
ments equivalent to a private in
come of $3,5OO,OOO, in reference to
the veterans pension plan has said
that there is a ''limit" to what the
federal government can pay out. 1t is
odd that he didn't think of that be-
fore he signed his own pay-raise
legislation.
Also, so far as the record shows,
the President said nothing about

DETROIT. Aug. 24.-Big John
Mize made his first appearance in
an American League uniform yes
terday, but there was O big ques-
ton mark as to when the New
York Yankees latest acquisition
would break into the lineup.
Mize took part in batting prac-
tice with the Yankees before the
game with the Detroit Tigers, but
did not get into the game.
The former New York Giants
star, who was purchased by the
Yankees Monday, walloped cou-
pie of drives out of the park dur
ing his brief appearance in the
batter's cage.
Then he sat on the bench
while the Yankees absorbed an
8-4 defeat at the hands Of the
Tigers. Manager Casey Stengel of
the Yankees used Charlie Keller
and Bobby Brown as pinch
hitters late in the game.
Stengel said he was uncertain
just when he would use the long

Like the tree, pennant talk is
blooming in Brooklyn once again
Preacher Roe, slim 3l-year-old
left-hander of the Dodgers. is
responsible for the tanning of
the Dodger pennant flames.
The Dodger outlook was indeed
, gloomy until Roe, working with
only two days rest, beat the
league-leading st. Louis Cardinals
4-3, before 30,642 fans at Ebbets
Field last night in the second hall
Of a day-night double-header.
Stan Musial and associates took
the afternoon game, 5-3, to move
three games ahead of the Brooks
extend a Brooklyn losing streal
to four games and bring the
undertaken to the door.
Roe, who usually receives from
six to seven days rest between
starts, was thrown into the breach
by desperate Burt Shotton and
he came through brilliantly. Fail
ure would have dumped the
Brooks four games of the pace
Of the snarling Missourians.
Old Preach, a former Red Bird
got off to a rocky start. Musial
tagged him for a two-run homer
in the first inning. The blow was
the Card stars 22d.
The faithful had little to cheer
about until the fourth inning as
Lefty HOWE Pollet blanked the
Dodgers over the first three heats
Doubles Defeat Pollet.
But in the fourth, the Dodgers
and the fans came to life as Pol
let was solved for two runs. Their
jaws really got some exercise in
the fifth when Carl Furillo dou-
bled home Pee Wee Reese with the
run that gave the Brooks a 80
lead.
The Cards quieted the crowd In
the sixth, as Enos Slaughter, the
other Dodger tormentor, singled
home Nippy Jones to tie the score
at 3-3.
Roe frightened up after that and
held the Cards hitless the rest OF
the way. but not so Pollet. The
16-game winner gave up the win
ming run in the eighth inning with
one out, yielding consecutive dou-
bles to Roy Campanella and Duke
Snider. The victory was Roe's
10th compared to four defeats.
Musial and Slaughter teamed to
bat the Cards to victory in the
opener. Musial laced out a homer
and single and Slaughter contrib
uted triple, double and single to
the Cards eight-hit attack. Stocky
Ted Wilks, who relieved Starter
Max Lanier in the third, was the
winner, and Joe Hatten the loser
Snider and Billy Cox homered for
the Dodgers.
Big Don Newcombe hoped to
bring the Dodgers closer to the
Red Birds in the series finale to-
day. Either Red Munger or Al
Braz1e was to work for the Cards
