Baseball fans were wondering
today whether this is a pitchers
year or whether Ted Williams
knows something when he insists
that the ball is deader.
Take yesterdays happenings
for example. Early Wynn pro-
tected Cleveland's one-game lead
over the Yankees in the American
League by beating Philadelphia's
Sam Zoldak in a 10 hurting duel.
IA home run by Bob Kennedy
settled the issue.
Brooklyn increased its National
League lead to six games as
Rookie Glen Labine outpitched
ICincinnati's Howie Fox, 81, while
IPittsburgh's Howie Pollet blanked
Sheldon Jones and the runnerup
Giants, 30, to end their 16-game
winning streak.
Max Lanier of the Cards shut
out Bubba Church and the Phil
lies, 20. and Omar Lown of the
Cubs whitewashed Chet Nichols
and the Braves, 10.
Yanks Defeat Browns.
The highest run total was made
by the Yankees, who defeated the
Browns, Us, in 10 innings and
they needed 13 walks by Tommy
Byrne. The Tigers defeated the
third place Red Sox, 5-4. Chi
cago's White Sox took a 4-3 de-
cision from Washington in 10 in
ningS.
Not one of the 16 teams got as
many as 10 hits. It was the same
story on Monday when four Shut
outs, including two three -hitters
and pair Of two-hitters, were
pitched although six teams were
idle.
Altogether 79 shutouts have
been hurled thus far in the Ma
tional League to only 81 all last
year. The American League is
only one short Of last years entire
shutout output of 62.
A seventh-inning home run by
Kennedy gave Cleveland it's 18th
straight triumph over the Ath-
letics. 1t was the second time the
Indians have beaten Zoldak, a
former teammate, 10.
23,573 See Indians Win.
A crowd of 23,573 watched
Wynn register his 18th victory
That brought Cleveland's home
attendance to 1,501,187, tops In
the majors. Wynn gave up five
hits to four for Zoldak.
Byrne's 18th walk, a pair of
If1elder's choices. long fly by Joe
IDiMaggio and a single by Charlie
Silvera furnished the winning
Yankee runs in the 10th. Bob
Kuzava, fourth Yankee hurler
was credited with the victory. The
Browns rallied for three runs ir
the eighth to tie the score at SIS
"a two-run single by Matt Bats
climaxed the rally.
A brilliant pitching exhibition
by Pollet ended the Giants 16-
game winning streak, longest in
the National League since 1885
1t took two unearned Pittsburgh
runs. however, to cool off the
New Workers.
The Pirates made only three
hits off Jones. Only one of them
figured in the scoring. That was
an eighth-inning leadoff single by
Rookie Frank Thomas. Jones then
walked Ralph Kiner and ran the
count to 81 on Gus Bell when
Dave Koslo replaced him.
Jack Phillips came in to bat for
Bell and grounded into a double
play on the first pitch. The Giants
appeared out of the woods when
Pinch Hitter Clyde Mccullough
sent a routine grounder to second
but Eddie Stanky bobbled the ball
and Thomas scored. Then Out
fielder Don Mueller dropped a fly
ball after an Alphonse-Gasto act
with Teammate Willie Mays and
Mccullough scored all the way
from first.
Pollet, however, deserved the
victory. He struck out four, walked

Success Predicted
For Georgetown Fair

The Georgetown Bicentenary
Fair will be success, despite the
"piddling" contributions received
50 far from merchants, Mrs. Jean
Frear. fair committee chairman,
said last night.
Mrs. Frear told the Georgetown
Citizens Association that the fair,
beginning April II, will feature a
parade and an auction of white
elephants" although details. of the
program have not been entirely
worked out.
But the lethargy of merchants
has been appalling" she added.
The association tabled a motion
requesting the District Commits
SionerS ito condemn one or two
pieces of property in every other
block on M street NV. between
Twenty eighth and Thirty sixth
street, and in every other block on
Wisconsin avenue NV. between
M street and @ street, for estab-
lishment of off-street parking"
The group asked the Commits
sioners not to demolish the Curtis
School until the community is
given chance to formulate a plan
whereby the building could be
used by the community to allevi-
ate juvenile delinquency.

Truman Vexes Chile and Peru,
Cheers Bolivia by Seaport Talk

States of America. And I know
we can develop them for the de-
velopment of the whole world as
we'll as for ourselves"
The background of the touchy
political situation among Chile,
Peru and Bolivia on the big prof.
ect is this:
About year ago when Chilean
President Gonzalez Videla visited
washington he spoke to Mr.. Tru-
man about the water development
Idea and suggested that in return
Chile would give Bolivia a Pacific
seaport.
Mr.. Truman reacted enthusi-
!astically. However, nothing was
mentioned publicly until a few
months later when Bolivian Presi-
dent Mamerto Urriolagiotia dis
closed it.
AS a result of a war with Chile
fought from 1879 to 1884, Bolivia
lost her Pacific seaport of Antofa-
gasta on the Pacific along with
others. Peru. which fought at the
side of Bolivia, also lost her port
of africa.
Chilean Reaction Unfavorable.
| At the time of the Bolivian dis
closure, the Peruvian government
Iqueried the State Department
since it was not mentioned as part
of the plan. Peru was assured its
legitimate interests were not being
overlooked.
However. public reaction in
Chile at giving a port to Bolivia
was bad and President Gonzalez
IVidela was at pains to explain it.
Peru never reacted too favorably
to the idea.
With an election in Chile next
year, the Gonzalez government
has preferred no mention of the
subject.
After the meeting. Bolivian
Foreign Minister Pedro Zilvetti
Arce described Mr.. Truman's
words as tremendously hearten-
ing"
Chilean Foreign Minister Ho-
Iracio Walker, with a dour look on
his face, gave a mo comment"

Sister Denies Story
Told by Greeng|ass
Al Atom Spy Trial
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 27.-Mrs
Ethel Rosenberg challenged today
her brothers testimony that she
was a member of a Soviet spy ring
that sent atom secrets to Russia.
The 35-year-old housewife is a
co-defendant in Federal Court
with her husband, Julius, "a, an
electrical engineer, and Morton
Sobell, 33, a radar expert, on a
charge of conspiring to commit
espionage for Russia in wartime.
She denied the story of her
brother, former Army Sergt. David
Greenglass, that she had typewrit-
ten atomic secrets he sent from
the Los Alamos IN. Mex, atom
bomb project for transmission to
Russia.
Greenglass Pleaded Guilty.
She said she did not even know
Greenglass was employed on the
Los Alamos project until after he
was discharged from the army in
1916. Greenglass has pleaded
guilty to the spying charge and is
awaiting sentence.
Point by point. Mrs. Rosenberg
denied all his accusations.
She denied Greenglass' story of
q meeting in the Rosenberg apart
ment in New York in January,
1945. Greenglass said on that
occasion Rosenberg cut up a Jello
box and gave him one-half as a
means of identifying himself to a
spy contact who would meet him
in New Mexico with the other half.
Had Jello Boxes.
Did you have any Jello boxes
in your home?" asked Federal
Judge Irving R. kaufman.
= Yes" said Mrs. Rosenberg.
She denied hearing any discus
sion in her home while Greenglass'
wife and Rosenberg were present,
about any advantage the United
States might have over Russia
through possession of the atom
bomb.
She also denied that her hus-
band told Mrs. Greenglass in 1914
that the United States had an
atom bomb and that such in
formation should be shared among
Allies, including Russia, so no ma
ton could threaten another with
the weapon.
