/ IDodger Fans Getting Jitters
AS Lead Shrinks to 5 Games
BY the Assoeiotsd Pres.

There's no evidence of panic in
Brooklyn yet. but the citizens OF
Flatbush are growing uneasy over
the exploits of Leo Durocher's
surging New York Giants.
The hot shots from the Polo
! Grounds have scared to within
! five games of the pace-setting
Dodgers on the wings Of SenSa-
ltional 16-game winning streak.
In going after their 17th straight
this afternoon the Giants are en-
countering one Of the best pitch
ers of the year, little Murry Dick
son Of the Pirates, who has won
~ games for a last-place club.
This is two more than Ned Carver
has piled up for the tail-end st.
Louis Browns in the American
League. Sheldon Jones. whose
record is four won and nine lost,
lis to oppose Dickson.
The Giants increased their un-
beaten streak yesterday as they
took a double-header from the
Chicago Cubs, 5-4, in IL innings,
and 6-3. The Dodgers split twi-
night double header with Pitts
burgh, winning the opener, SO.
but losing the second game, So.
A. L. Contenders Resume.
The contenders in the tight
American League scramble were
idle. They resume action today,
with the Cleveland Indians-out
in front by a game-entertaining
the Philadelphia Athletics while
the runner-up New York Yankees
meet the Browns in st. Louis. The
third place Boston Red Sox play
the Tigers in Detroit and the
fourth-place Chicago White Sox
are at home against Washington.
The Athletics shaded the Tigers,
10, in the only American League
game yesterday. In other National
League games, the Boston Braves
captured a twi-night double
header from the st. Louis Car
dinals, 6-3 and AZ. and the Phil
lies swept a twi-night program
from Cincinnati, 20 and 80.
Larry Jansen posted his 18th
victory for the Giants in the
opener against Chicago. The Cubs
pushed over a run in the top OF
the 18th, but the Giants came
right back with two in their half
to pull it out. Whitley Lockman
singled with the bases loaded to
send home the tying run and
Pinch Hitter Bill Rigney knocked
in the winning counter with fly
ball.

Marshall Says Redskins
Are Beginning to Improve
By Lewis r. Atchison
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

LOS ANGELES, Aug. o.
George Marshall, the Redskins
stauncheSt supporter and, at
times. severest critic, will wait a
couple of weeks before passing
final judgment on the 1851 eleven.
I'VE can't tell how good the
team will be until we play the
Giants in Birmingham" Marshall
said. "The boys are beginning to
find themselves. Some, Jim
PEBBLES for one, are just learning
the new defenses. Give them more
time and they may surprise you
and me-"
Coach Herman Ball also thinks
the team needs more time-more
than it'll have between now and
the September 8 date with New
York at Birmingham.
Sometimes I'd like to have a
shotgun and a load of rock salt
to use on them" Ball said, "and
then they show the kind of hustle
that makes you hope they're
beginning to wake up. Well get
better, but how much better I
don't know.
Line Coach Orv Tuttle liked the
way his charges scrimmaged yes
terday-particularly Laurie Niemi
and Paul Lipscomb.
The coaches also discovered
why Barrel Badaczewski was in
effective against the Forty Miners
in reviewing films of the game.
Badaczewski went with the play
Instead of moving ahead and vir-
tually took himself out of COM
petition.
The pass-defense combination
of Harry Dowda. Rookie Eddie
Salem. Billy Cox and Eddie Saenz
was fairly effective in yesterdays
aerial drill, but Saenz may be
lyanked in favor of Harry Gilmer
No group yet has satisfied Back
field Coach Dick Todd, who be-
lieves a completed pass is q sure
sign Of defensive weakness.
Efforts to make deals that
would give the Redskins imme-
diate help have been futile. No
other club will part with men in
positions where the Tribe needs
bolstering.

Naval Academy Undecided
On Whether 10 Use P|ebes
Ssor SiaH Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. %. -
Whether the Naval Academy will
use plebes on this years varsity
football squad will depend largely
on what West Point does, Capt.
Robert Pirie. comandant Of mid
shipmen, indicated today.
Capt. Pirie said Navy may use
plebes inasmuch as the Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Association, OF
which the academy is a member,
is leaving it up to each college,
whether freshmen will be played.
1--WE haven't decided" Capt.
Pirie said. 1--WE may wait until
October before making a decision.
But under no circumstances would
we use plebes unless Army does
the same"
West Point has given no indica-
ton as to what its policy will
Ibe, but Capt. Pirie added: "I fig
ure that within 10 days or two
weeks well all know. I have a
hunch the New York football
writers will smoke out the policy
when Army starts practicing."
Naval Academy athletes receive
no extra help with their studies
that is not available to all other
midshipmen, Senator Case, Re-
publican, Of South Dakota, has
been informed.
Senator Case said in a state
lment that the information came
from Secretary Of the Navy Kim

County Agent Here
Given Award for
Service Record

Two Maryland County Agents
were honored with Distinguished
Service Awards on October 81 at
the annual meeting of the National
County Agents Association in
Memphis, Tenn. Both of the
agents, 0. w. Anderson of Mont
gomery County and H. M. Carroll
of Hartford County, were present
at the national meeting where the
awards were presented.
Mr.. Anderson is native of Tim
monsville, S. c., and a graduate of
Clemson College. In 1924 he re-
ceived the Master of Science de-
gree from the University of Mary
land. He has been with the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension
Service since March 1924 and has
served in Montgomery County for
the past rs years. He served in
Hartford County for 2 years before
coming to Montgomery.
By working with organized farm
and urban groups, Mr.. Anderson
has helped bring about many of the
changes that have elevated Mont
gomery to top ranking position
in the nation for the standard of
living of rural people. A popular
part of the program in recent
years has been the cooperative
spray programs sponsored by the
Farm Bureau for the control of
Japanese beetles, flies, and weeds.
Another development has been the
Montgomery County Cooperative
Agricultural Center, Inc, which
grew from nothing to a S350,0O0
4 project in three years.
Long range educational pro-
grams conducted by the County
Agent have centered around pas
ture improvement, the breeding of
better livestock, the production of
more high quality hay and forage
crops, and the increased use of hy-
brid corn.
Montgomery County All Club
members have achieved a long list
of national and international
awards climaxed this past summer
when Barbara Riggs and Janice
Palmer, Montgomery County 4
Hers, were members of the U. S.
team which won the international
dairy cattle judging contest at
Cambridge, England.
Mr.. Anderson credits much of
the success of the Club program to
the hard work of former members
who are now serving as local lead
ers. Many 4-H'ers who started
out under Mr.. Anderson are now
farming in their home county and
IN some instances, have children
who are now in All Clubs.

Red Cross Registers
Classes for Nurses
Aide Courses

The Montgomery County Red
Cross is receiving registrations for
a night class for Nurses Aides to
be held at Suburban Hospital. Be-
cause Of the shortage of registered
nurses there is a critical need for
volunteers to help with the nurs-
ing work in the hospital and to
work with nurses on the Red Cross
Blood Program.
The duties of Nurses Aides are
to assist the nurse by performing
under her supervision many SIM
PIE nursing procedures, thus free
ing her for those services only
graduate nurse can do; to give the
little extra nursing care for pa
tients that keeps them happy and
content; and to help maintain an
atmosphere of cleanliness, order,
peace, quiet, and security neces-
sary for the patients comfort and
safety.
The course will consist of 80
hours, over a period of IS weeks.
1t is intended for those women who
would prefer to work at night.
Upon completion of the course
$50 hours of work at Suburban
Hospital or on the Bloodmobile are
expected. Hours for this work can
be arranged to suit the convenience
of each individual.
Women who would prefer day.
time work are asked to phone the
Chapter House, since a daytime
class will be scheduled when there
are enough applicants. Former
nudses' aides who have already
completed course are asked to
register with the Chapter for work
on Bloodmobile units. The tele-
phone number is Oliver 1896.
