Under Public Law No. ATS, recently
enacted by the 81st Congress, the
loan guarantee provisions Of the Ser
vicemen's Reimbursement Act (popu
larly known as the "GI Bill OF
Rights'D are made available to UNI
remarked widows of World War II
veterans whose deaths are due to
service.
While this new extension of CT
loan guarantee rights affects only
small segment of our population, it
VIII be of paramount Importance to
those who can qualify under the new
law. Here, in brief. are the require
ments.
l. The serviceman must have SER
we'd in World War II.
g. His death must be service
connacted-that is, either in service
n line of duty, or after discharge
as a result of service incurred dis
abilities or injuries.
3. The serviceman's widow must b,
unremaTed.
Unremarried widows desiring TO
apply for CT loans under the new
law will, in general, follow the same
procedure as would veterans under
the same circumstances. However, a
ct cicate will be required from the
Veterans Administration as to whe
ther the serviceman's death was ser
vice. connected. Such a certificate
will be furnished upon request by
the office having jurisdiction over
he records of the decedent.
Ball games are not won-theyre
lost"
This observation, highly unoriginal
though it may be, was never more
forcibly expressed than in the series,
just concluded, in which the Seattle
Rainiers Waxed the Angels from Los
Angeles. six games to two.
The Angelenos handed no less
than four games to the home team
by virtue of crucial errors which the
Rainiers gratefully accepted in the
croper spirit. The Suds, on the other
hand, lost one game, ia, which
would have been a lot closer except
for one bad play, mental error
In the long run. the better team
will play steadier ball and make
fewer crucial errors than the oppo-
sition. It's a baseball axiom, too
that the better team will force the
other team into making errors, and
will take full advantage of any and
all boots"
What's all this got to do with the
Seattle Rainiers? Well, throwing out
the first month of play and consider
/ ing their five-week record since May
End. during which time they've COM
piled a 23-13 record, we find that
most of the games have been fairly
close, ow-scoring affairs. Rainier
pitching has been uniformly good
and it's had to be-the team simply
hasn't the power to bludgeon the
opposition Backing up the pitching
however, and helping to make it look
good is a tight defense of high
minor lie ague caliber.
From what we've seen of the Studs
TO date, we feel safe in saying that
they're not going to bat themselves
very often. One more thing: if the
eX- Garfield bomber. Jeff Heath. ever
starts pulling the ball and booming
it over or close to the right-field
fence the Rainiers will really climb
into pennant contention, and Emil
Sick will wish he had more seats at
the Stadium Another month or so
will tell whether Big Jeff can or
will get hot" Until then, all us
fans can do is to wait and see.
All you golfers who are breathing
nostalgia signs at the loss of the
gully hole" at jefferson Park-rest
easy There will be another gully
hole, and the course will be tougher
than before. if what we hear is cor
rect.
Under present conditions, the No
6 hole is now a par 4, and No. 7 is
a par 3. In the near future, as soon
as proper green can be prepared,
No. will become a par 3, while No
