Rockville SOX
Defeat Damascus
In Uphill Battle

A booming Iine-drive from the
bat of Larry Schneider climaxed a
ten-inning uphill battle for the
Rockville Sox, to edge Damascus
9-8 on the local field last Sunday
Trailing 80 rs late as the sixth
inning, the two Larrys, Eaton and
Schneider, unioaded their power to
spark two 3-run innings and over
take the visitors.
Damascus wasted no time in
getting rid of starter Jack Free
burger, by collecting a run in the
first inning and unloading four in
the second. This brought Anson
Ball on the scene. He squelched the
visitors with five hits and three
unearneG runs the rest of the way.
Trailing 8-2 entering the seventh,
the Sox got to Herb Devers for
three runs on three singles, two
base error and a long triple by
Eaton. In the eighth a single, an
error, triple by Schneider and
Eaton's double knotted the score
at 8-S. Damascus threatened in the
ninth with a walk and a single, but
Ball got Watkins and Hines on
easy grounders to end the rally.
Then in the tenth, with two out
and none on. Schneider rifed long
line drive over the right fielder's
head for the first home run on the
Sox field, and the ball game.
Schneider led the Sox with four
blows, two for extra bases. Eaton's
two long safeties were next best,
while Gordon Coleman, playing his
first game this year, got two
singles.
Fer Damascus, Duvall was the
leading stickman with three hits,
including a long triple. Herb
Devers went the route to absorb
the defeat, while Ball earned the
victory.

Our CosuoIties-ond the Enemy's

General Wedemeyer, like General Macarthur.
has referred to our American losses in Korea
as kind of slaughter depriving the Nation of its
finest manhood Since the start of the war last
June u.s. our combat casualties have mounted
to figure approaching 10000, including over
1000 dead. However, although this is total
not to be minmized or loosely likened to our
highway traffic toll, there Is little justification,
in strictly military sense for considering it to
be extraordinarily high. Actually, in relation to
the punishment inflicted on the enemy, the price
our forces have had to pay-a price that has
declined sharply since last January-has been
remarkably low
AS the battle situation stands today, the
Chinese and North Korean Communists have
. been driven completely from their so-called
Iron Triangle" above the 38th Parallel-the
Chorwon- Kumhwa- Pyonggang build-up area for
their Inflated April and May offensives. Accord
ing to General Van Fleet, commander OF the
9Th Army, their ten-day effort to hold on to
this key territory has cost them about 10000
casualties. As yet there are no comparative
figures available on the losses suffered by our
American and allied u NJ forces in taking it,
but there is good reason to believe that those
losses have been proportionately about the same
as the ones suffered in smashing the enemy's
two spring drives.
In the first of those drives-the one Id April
1.-The Communist aggressors lost an estimated as
per cent of the 100000 troops they had thrown
into the operation BY way of contrast, our own
casualties from January through to the very end
of this enemy offensive averaged only three
tenths of per cent of every 100 men engaged
in battle. Similarly, In their short-lived May
assault in period Of i've days, the Reds suffered
losses totaling between $4,000 and 10000, where
as the U N.--incredible as the figures may SEEM
suffered 1913. including 1874 Americans killed
and 826 wounded. In all probability, because
of the tremendous superiority of our firepower,
much the same statistical proportions apply to
the now-ended struggle for the Iron Triangle"
Accordingly. as far as cold unconventional
military arithmetic is concerned, there would
seem to be scant basis for the Wedemeyer-
Macarthur view that our forces are being
slaughtered. That word can be applied with
much more accuracy to what has been happen
ing to the enemy whose total casualties to date
add up to well over 100000 men. Our losses
relatively speaking, have been very light. The
President has perhaps been inept in comparing
them with the losses on our own highways, but
the fact remains that they have been compare
lively low and will continue that way as long as
the aggressors fan to match our frepower We

American should make it seem any grimmer- or
