none out. Tommy Lind grounded to
Ticco at first, with Krsnich scoring
on the play, Miller moving to third
and Freund to second, from where
they both scored on Riddles single
to center. Then, when Wilkes let
the ball get away from him, Riddle
went all of the way to third on the
error, from where he scored, after
the catch, when Smith flied out to
left. Solt popped up to short to
retire the side and end the scoring
for the game.

Second Game
Pete Perrin went to the mound in
the seven-inning second game, that
went nine innings before the Braves
pushed the winning run across, and
pitched two-hit ball until the sixth,
when he gave up two doubles in
succession and was relieved by Mil
Ter, with Perrin going into leftfeld
in place of Canterna.
Ernie Nichols went all of the way
for the Red Roses and Hawkins was
behind the plate.
Lancaster took a one-run lead in
the top half of the third. With one
away, Walker got a base on balls,
but was forced at second by Kor-
check, but when Freund made wild
throw to first on the play, Korcheck
went to second on the error. Plaster
er then beat out a hit to short scor-
ing Korcheck, but Neal flied to Tu-
fano for the third out.
The Braves came right back in the
bottom half to tie it up. With one
away, Canterna walked and went
to second on Freund's single to left.
Lind also walked, filing the bases.
Riddle took a third called strike for
the second out, but Nichols then
walked Smith, forcing Canterna
across the plate and leaving the
bases loaded But he then got Solt
on third called strike to retire the
side.
It was 81 Hagerstown in the fifth.
Lind, the first man up, grounded to
Korcheck, who let the ball go
through him and Lind was safe at
first on the error. Ride sacrificed
him to second and after Smith had
flied out, Lind scored on Solt's dou-
BILE.
Lancaster went ahead again in the
top half of the sixth when they
scored their last two RUNS. With one
away, Neal doubled to left and Ticco
came right behind him with dou-
bic to right, scoring Neal with the
tying run. At this point Charlie
Miller took over the pitching chores
and Louis, the first man to face him,
singled to left scoring Ticco with
Lancaster's third run Gall of which
were charged to Perini). Olive then
forced Louis at third to retire the
side.
But the lead didn't last long as
Hagerstown came right back in the
bottom half to tie it up. Krsnich
opened the inning with single to
left and Miller sacrificed him to sec
ond. Freund popped up, but Tommy
Lind came through with a single to
left, scoring Krsnich with the tying
run, but he was thrown out when
he tried to go to second on the throw
to the plate.
That was all the scoring until the
ninth when the Braves pushed the
winning run across. Freund open
ed the inning with a single to right
and Lind sacrificed him to second
Riddle popped up and Smith was
given an Intentional pass, but Jim
Solt broke the ball game up with a

into the main house on the sub

And. while building up another

by a geologic force. I've dug holes
for corral posts in Montana, but
even the foothills of the Rockies
had nothing on this particular
bit OF hard-packed geography.
Another artisan I've come to ad-
mire is the plumber. I'm convinced
that any one who can lead together
pieces of cast-iron pipe into the
shape of dogs hind leg and get
them to fit into a sewage system
has a spark of genius somewhere
in his makeup. 1t took me three
tries. Bricklayers and fireplace
builders are also geniuses in their
way. Sometimes / think we don't
appreciate them quite enough.
We were more or less committed
to finishing the place ourselves.
Too, help was scare and expensive
so We went ahead, following the
pay-as-you-go plan. Somehow we
got in the plumbing and it
worked. A gravity hot-air furnace
was the only thing available at
the time and in it went also. And
while far from beautiful, at least
the unlovely monster kept the
house warm and still does.
Looking back, we can see mis-
takes here and there. 1t takes a
trip or two to the basement to
convince a tall person that there
could be more head roomS And
some of the molding isn't quite
perfect. But a contractor friend
from Baltimore stopped by one
day on his way to Florida and,
of course, we apologiZed. After
all. it was just an amateur job.
But he was kind and said that

We estimate the total cost of
the project at about $3.700, mostly

material was bought then. And

To the Real Estate Editor,
The Star:
This is in reference to your in
teresting article on owner-built
homes in The Star for Saturday,
August Is. I found this of eX-
ceptional interest not only be-
cause it fitted SO closely my own
experience, but also because it
seemed to vindicate two of my
own personal phobiaS where home
ownership is concerned, namely
that any man handy with tools
can do better than to spend the
best 20 years of his life paying
for a home on the inStallment
plan, plus interest, of course, and
that any man handy with tools
can also build his own house and
do a rather successful job of it.
Your illustrations and article
point up the second item in the
case of the airline pilots, but you
mention the difficulties of financ-
ing, loans, etc, as a detriment to
this sort of thing. This is true
from one standpoint. but Mrs
Harrison and I found a way to
beat the problem from both an
giles. BY bit of mental and
physical agility we managed to
cut these problems down to our
size, which, at the time we began,
was not very great. If you are in
terested, here is how we did it:

Forest Service, which means al

Taft Invites Opposition in Party
Foreign Policy Stand Draws Fire Of Other GOP Leaders,
But He Entered Controversy With His Eyes Open

onstrated when he managed the
cessful and surprising coup at
the 1910 convention to nose out
Senator Taft in the latter's first
real bid for the party's nomina-
ton. From all of Mr.. Stassen's
extra curricular activities these
days. he still is in politics up to

The New York-Pennsylvania-

not disrupted by a clash of

opponents are not, as a matter

Senator Taft invited it's oppo-

knows that. He seems to relish
1t. He never waits for fight
to come to him. He goes out
and looks for it.
He may, however, have gotten
in bit deeper than he figured
when. at the beginning of the
new Congress, he decided to try
to seize party leadership in Con-
gress on foreign policy as well
as domestic policy. For this
the way was opened by the ILL
ness of Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan who hitherto had been
the acknowledged party leader
in the Senate on foreign policy.
While Senator Taft had de-
voted himself previously chiefly
to domestic affairs. he aired his
views frequently on foreign pol
icy. They differed often with
those of Senator Vandenberg, so
that the emergence of the Ohio
Senator in a foreign policy lead
ership role represented a decided
shift of emphasis and brought
open conflict by a formidable
top Republican figure with the
Truman administration with
which Senator Vandenberg had
co-operated generally in the BIZ
partisan policy, so-called.

acting entirely on his own when

Constantine Brown:

American observers in Paris
believe that the question OF cleo
toral reform, on which the
Pleven cabinet fell last week,
was only q pretext and not the
real cause for the collapse Of
that strong government.
These observers point out that
during the last two years other
French governments, which
wanted to translate ministerial
decisions into real action, suf-
fered the same fate.
Men in close touch with popu-
lar sentiment say the French
public feels that the commit
ments made by Mr.. Pleven with
respect to military expansion are
beyond the country's capabili-
ties.
The dissatisfaction Of the
French people toward those
commitments is illustrated in
the difficulties President Vim
cent Auriol has had in finding
another political man to under
take the job Of forming a new
administration.
The feeling of the people of
France that their government is
biting off more than it can swal-
low is based on facts brought
out clearly in the great debate"
in the American Senate. Opti-
mistic figures were given by adj
ministration spokesman as
to Frances potential military
strength. Most of those figures
were based on the size of
Frances population and the
military forces France had in
1899.
Nothing was said about
Frances commitments outside
her territorial limits. The fact
that the best French army,

Now the fact is that Charles
E. Wilson has severed for all
time his connection with Cen
eral Electric. He is 81 years old
and intends to spend the rest
of his life in public service.
When he demands that the
labor leaders either sever their
connections and get off union
payrolls or select some one who
is not tied up with the unions
to take a top place in the ad-
visory committee. he is merely
asking for objectivity in gov
eminent.
When Mr.. Wilson sits at his
desk today he Is a representa-
tive and spokesman of the Gov
eminent of the United States,
When he selected members of

advisory committee, he picked
to head it some one who was
not tied up with either business
or the unionS-a college presi-
dent who had made a record in
personnel work under the late
President Roosevelt as a mem
Der OF the Civil Service Com
mission-Arthur Flemming.
Labor partisans assail Mr..
Wilson as planning compulsory

is nc intention to change the

ing agencies of the Government

purpose of the new committee is

Gov. Dewey and Senator Duff
that the great States of New
York and Pennsylvania will not
be for Senator Taft at the ma
tional convention. This is a
needed antidote to the recent
punishment via committee as
signments Of Senator Margaret
Chase Smith of Maine for her
independence.
Gov. Dewey has named Gen.
Eisenhower as his candidate for
the Presidential nomination.
The best answer to the question
of whether he is really behind
Gen. Eisenhower is probably
yes. but not too far behind just
in case of a tie.
There is one Washington habit
the Dewey camp would like
very much to correct and that's
calling Senator Taft Mister Re-
publican. They don't like it for
their own sakes and they vir-
tuously add that it's unfair to
give him decisions of omnisci-
ence.
Gen. Eisenhower has per-
formed the remarkable feat of
appearing really detached from
all this maneuvering. But he is
available to those on whose
support politically he can count
and a good deal Of quiet work
to help and protect his pros
poets is being done.
