Official Opening
June 30-Friday. "Our jamboree
got into full swing today. The
firing of a bomb at General Head
quarters officially opend it at 10
am. At this time all flags were
raised. 1 visited many camp
areas today and talked with boys
from all over the country. Many
of them talked of the Korean sit
uation, and we had many discus
sions as to the chances of a big
war. Another big topic was base
ball, naturally. Almost every af-
ternoon the recreation tents were
swamped with boys watching base
ball games. The big opening cere-
mony was the highlight of the day.
Scouts from our section were
chosen to raise the flags at the be-
ginning of the arena ceremony.
First the American flags were
trooped in. Then the state flags
were raised. Bill Lee and l raised
the Florida state flag. President
Truman entered and was presented
the Silver Buffalo, scouting's high
est award for service. The Presi-
dent made plea for international
brotherhood and compared the
conditions of the youth of our
Western countries with commun-
ist-dominated countries. After his
speech, the boys of other sections
presented a pageant depicting
washington's encampment at Val
ley Forge, The program was con-
cluded by torchbearers carrying
torches back to their sections SYM
bolizing our rededication of our
selves to strengthen liberty"
Philadelphia Trip
July Saturday. "a trip to
historical Philadelphia was the big
thing on days program. We rolled
out of our sacks at 5 am, ate
breakfast, and were ready to go at
z am. Ten thousand scouts jam
med the trains which took us to
Philadelphia. At Broad Street
Station we were divided into tour
groups and taken to points of in
terest such as City. Hall, Ben
F'ranklin's grave, the Betsy Ross
house, Old Christ Church, the old
Customs House and Independence
Hall, We returned to the station
about 1 pm. and were served box
lunches on the train. Thus, we
saw not only Valley Forge but also
Philadelphia"
Onurcn services
July 2-Sunday. ITO observe
the twelfth scout law, "a scout is
reverent," church services were
held in the morning for all denom-
inations. Separate services were
held for protestants, catholics,
jews, and mormons. In the even-

us went up to Fort Washington to
watch the operation. We were all
fascinated. Never before had
seen anything develop so rapidly.

such sight-you really have to
see it to believe it. Phil Minos,
Burton Lightner and I hiked
around the area and further ex-
plored it. Despite all our hiking
we didn't half cover it. We found
some old metal objects and some
bars from an old hut which had
been dug up during the laying of
pipelines. We had good menus and
plenty of food. Each patrol pre-
pared and cooked its own meals.

almost everything turned out

Rain yesterday and an off
day today gave the Mats a
welcome two-day vacation
which will insure the presence
Of Sam Mele at first base and
Irv Noren in the outfield when
the team opens a three-game
series with the Indians to-
morrow night.
A steady rain washed out
the final game at Boston and
aided in speeding recovery Of

and Noren. First Baseman
Mickey Vernon still is hob
bling with a lame ankle but
may be employed as q pinch
hitter in the Cleveland series.

Recent injuries to Mickey
Vernon. Sam Mele and Irv Noren,
plus q minor epidemic of sore
arms among pitchers. pointed up
the Mats inability to pluck play
ers from their farm system in
an emergency. but the situation
is being corrected.
The first painful phase of stock
ing farm teams has been accom-
plished by Ossie Bluege, who
can't promise that the parent
club will reap any benefit for two
years. But the club definitely has
promising youngsters on Glass D
teams who are prepared to leave
that company.
This time last year the Mats
had virtually nothing to offer in
the way of likely material on their
farms. Chattanooga was, and Is,
equipped largely with a crop OF
veterans whose major league
careers are behind them, but on
a lower level the Mats future ap-
pears brighter.
Promising Kids Mt Emporia.
1.-THE future of the Washinton
club right now is at Emporia, Va,
and Orlando, Fla.," Bluege says.
There we have kids who are
ready to move along to Charlotte
and Chattanooga next season.
Among them are some excellent
prospects
| Bluege, one Of the all-time great
third basemen, is inclined to re-
gard Emporia's Pete Meachini,
red-headed Italian from Brooklyn,
as one of the more promising boys
headed for the Mats.
Hes a major league shortstop
right now" Ossie says. Hes
gawky and doesn't look the part
but he's a terrific fielder and has
a great arm. He's hitting .32C
but doesn't figure to be that good
a hitter. He has speed, though
and with experience may become
a threat"
Second Base Prospect.
Leroy Dietzel, q Baltimore boy
hitting .304, is another Emporis
prospect. Hes a second baseman
and reminds me of Bucky Harris
when be was playing" continued
Bluege. Hes bigger and stronger,
but he has that same throwing
accuracy Bucky had"
Melvin Doxtator. full-blooded
Indian. is an Emporia pitcher who
has impressed Ossie. His record
is 1913 and with more polish he
figures to be a whale of a pitcher.

Consuegro Is Signed
For 1851, but Must
Forego Winter PIuv

Convinced they've got q 81
thing in Sandalio Consuegra, one
Of their Cuban pitchers, the Mats
aren't going to let him get tired
out playing winter baseball.
He has been signed for 1851 at
a slight increase over his current
$4,000 salary with the provision
that he not play in the Cuban
Winter League which he led last
year. Vice President Calvin Grit
fifth revealed yesterday.
Mats officials believe Consuegra
who has 5-4 record, will be "a
good bet for at least five or six
years" with normal of season

whose brother, Herb. was q Red
skin last year. and Gail Bruce
played a floating defense at the
wings for the 49ers. but the Tribe
outmaneuvered them by using
cutbacks and line smashes-away
from Nomellini.
Shoener took a 5-yard pass
from Albert for San Francisco's
first touchdown early in the third
period. Rookie Halfback Don
Garlin caught a 15-yard T. D.
throw late in the fourth period
when Redskin rockies had taken

pleased by the way his men

Norm Standlee. the great full
back for the Bears before he Joined

definitely over the hill. Red
hot San Francisco fans were
screaming for Albert's head before
it was over. When Herman
Wedemeyer tried the point after
touchdown following the 49erS first
score. it was the first time in four
years anybody but Joe Vetrano
kicked. Vetrano, released last
week, sat on the bench and saw
Albert also miss. Crisler, for
mer Redskin end, had been re-
leased by the 49ers, because of Q
bump on his collarbone, a me-
mento of an old injury. The
