Both players exhibited a fine
assortment of ground strokes that
brought vigorous applause from
the crowd of more than $500 in
the Seventh Regiment Armory.
Talbert missed his golden op-
portunity to take the opening set
when he was within one point
of victory five times in the tenth
game. Behind "a, Gonzales
came back to take that one and
finally won the set by capturing
the last three games.

The Mats were exposed to the upper
classmen of Brooklyn's expansive
baseball educational project here
today and learned the meaning of
futility. 1t was an uninspiring
Washington team which succumb-
ed to the Dodgers, 40.
Here in this windy East Coast
town, where some $50 Brooklyn
owned athletes will have been pro-
cessed this spring with assembly,
line tactics, the Mats stirred up a
private breeze. Against two fugi-
tives from the minors, Morris Mar

against major league teams which
had scared to eight games.
Meanwhile Milo Candini and Dick
Weik were presenting the Mats
tolerable but inadequate pitching
They restricted the Dodgers to
eight hits, but Brooklyn was
grouping them nicely.
The Dodgers clipped Candini
for run in the first inning. Cal
Abrams lashed a single to center,
moved around to third on a brace
Of infields outs and scored on
Jackie Robinson's sharp single to
center.
Brooklyn constructed a 20 lead
in the third with two out. Robin
son pumped a double to left and
Gene Hermanski drilled a double
to right.
Weik, a towering right-hander
affiliated with the Mats Chatta-
nooga club last year, encountered
a sudden surge of Brooklyn power
in the seventh when Bruce Ed
wards rammed a tremendous fly
to center for a home run with
none on. Coan didn't distinguish
himself on that clout, wheeling in
the wrong direction and finally
being hit on the shoulder by the
ball.

Yes, they will. You should
notify the VA right away about
what's happened. Possibly it can
suggest another training position
for you. But until you start in
again you should not receive
any more Observation-Disclosures
checks, with one exception. You
are entitled to one 30-day leave
for each year in training. You
can apply for that leave, and it
should result in your getting one
more check to cover it.
One more thing: If you do keep
receiving checks sometimes the
VA is remarkably slow in stopping
them), don't cash them, because
some day you will have to refund
to VA the amount of the overpay-
ment.
