Mickey Harris
5Weeks as Nat
Fails to Protect Leod
Third Time in Four
Games as Tigers Win
By Burton Hawkins
Sfor Sfoff Correspondent

DETROIT, July 21.-They made
the pants too long for Sam in
the song and they've made base
ball games too long for Mickey
Harris. After five weeks Of ex-
tensive employment by the Mats
the curly-haired left-hander still
is pursuing his first victory in
Washington uniform because he
can't cling to lead.
Three times in his last four
starts Mickey has carried advan-
tages into the late innings, but on
each occasion he has walked off
the mound a loser. Yesterday, for
instance, he owned a So margin
entering Detroit's eighth inning.
but Mickey and the Mats dropped
a 6-5 decision to the Tigers.
Against New York. Harris pos
sessed 80 lead in the ninth and
ultimately lost In the twelfth.
4-3. In another attempt against
the Yankees he was in command
of a Al lead in the ninth and
blew that game, 5-4.
If it's any consolation, Mickey
has been the only Washington
pitcher to remain the route In 20
games, accomplishing that mod
est objective twice. But 1t was
exactly a month ago when the
Mats last had a starting pitcher
also finish and win.
Lone Pass Ruinous.
AS they are wrecking all Nat
pitchers and the club, walks have
ruined Mickey. He permitted only
one yesterday-the first time in 80
games that Washington pitching
hadn't yielded at least three-but
that lone base on balls led to his
downfall.
With one out in the eighth he
walked George Kell, then came .
3-run splurge on successive singles
by Vic Wertz, Hoot Evers and
Johnny Groth, plus Johnny Lipon's
safe bunt that squeezed Evers
across with the winning run.
Art Houtteman, the fourth of
five Detroit pitchers, followed Fred
Hutchinson to the mound in the
ninth and protected the Tigers

scratched him for a>hit with one
out, but Houtteman retired Ed
Stewart and Buddy Lewis. Houtte-
man was credited with the victory.
not because he was taken out for
pinch hitter but becat1se Man

Stewart singled Yost across In
the third inning. but the Tigers
grasped a 81 lead in the fourth
on Kell's double. Evers' single and
steal and Groth's single. Walks to
Harris and Yost. plus singles by
Stewart and Lewis, netted the Mats
three runs in the fifth but Bob
Swift's double and Kelrs single re-
duced the Mats lead to 4-3 in the
Tigers fifth.
Three Single in q Row.
Successive singles by Sam Mele.

to find the staunch old conserva-

He was also impressed by the
Swedish policy of enacting contro-

Sweden Solves
impregnation
OF White Wood

STOCKHOLM-The long-stand-
ing problem of effective impregna-
ton of white wood (spruce) has
now been solved following extern
sive experiments by Mr.. Tore SjO-
holm, engineer at Graningeverken
timber mills in North Sweden.
His invention renders it possible
to use impregnated white wood for
sleepers or railroad ties, power line
and telephone poles, building piles
etc. instead of the much more ex-
pensive pine, thus effecting SUBJ
stantial savings.
At demonstration on Novem-
Der 2 before impregnation experts,
research scientists and forestry
enterprisers, a large and varied
assortment of timber of all shapes
and sizes revealed the astounding
results obtained. The agent used
had penetrated not only the splint
but also the core wood, leaving
surprisingly dry surface fit for
painting.

School in Mullsjo, where he will
participate in community surveys
and broaden his views on sociolog-
ical developments in Scandinavia.
Has Scandinavian Touch
Aside from his scientific notions
concerning Scandinavia, Rudy, a
jovial person with a flair for an
easy smile, has acquired a Scan
dinavian touch and he is the life
of the party at Scandinavian
gatherings here. People like to
have him around and hear him
speak perfect Swedish with a
whale of an American accent.
The story of how Rudy ever
went to Scandinavia is full of
condolences. A linguist by nature,
he acquired German in his child
hood, brushed up on Spanish in
high school and polished off his
French in Washington State Col
lege. When the war came. the
Army sent him to Utah at special
school to learn Italian. Well, he
thought. it looks like I'll be seeing
Europe after all. Seeing Europe
had always been a hazy dream in
his mind.
The Army-and he hardly had
time to say nuts-sent him off to
China, India and Burma.
After the war he enrolled at
Rutgers University, N. j., where
he happened to notice an ad in the
paper one day in which Stockholm
University said it would gladly
accept American students, prefer
ably veterans, for a college course.
Rudy was over in Stocgholm in a
fifty. He spent one and half years
there.
Strange People, These Swedes
So Rudy scrutinized Sweden's
social structure. For one thing, he
found that Sweden's whole APP
proach to her social problems was
pragmatic. And it seemed they
didn't even conceive of sociology
in terms of theory. They didn't
even have specialized schools OF
sociological theory. Swedes thought
the best schools of this kind coulc
be found in the administrative
agencies for their vast social legis
