ON THE
SANDLO T S
BY BOB HANSON

The name isn't the same foI
1.-THE league operating across the
river In Southeast Washington
but little else has changed.
In former years, it was the
Anacostia League. It was re-
named the Gauzza Memorial
League this season, a tribute to
the late Vic Gauzza, ST.. the car
of sandlot baseball.
It's a five-tearn league. And
no one who follows the sandlots
lis surprised to see Atchison &
Keller leading the pack.
The Plumbers were on top
last year and went on to take
the city series. For three
straight years prior to that they
made the playoffs while playing
in the Departmental League.
Jack Hoffman, an all-high
first baseman at Eastern in
1940-41 and leading hitter in
the Interhigh League in his
senior year, has managed A6EK
into the playoffs.
Hoffman, an English and
social studies teacher at Kramer
Junior High School. has sur
rounded himself with alumni.
"At least rs per cent of this
team played at Eastern" Hoff-
man says. "We could field a
starting team Of Eastern grad
yates and have a few in reserve
as WELL"
One of the ex-Easterners is
Catcher Bob Lamon. who hooked
on for the second-half race and
immediately started swinging a
big bat.
But the big item in the teams
success is the pitching, al
though Hoffman claims his hurl-
|ers need more work.
I'VE only play q couple times
"a week in the league" Hoffman
declared. THAT isn't enough to
loosen these guys up. so we book
Ia few outside games with some
|of the nearby service teams"
Hoffman's statement to the
contrary, he can toss in five
pitchers that figure to give him
Ia good game most Of the time.
And there isn't o lefthander in
the bunch.

INGLEWOOD, Calf, July 8
R.-Either there will be no bet
ting at all or win betting only in
Hollywood Parks 18th running
of the Westerner Stakes tomor-
row-all because Swaps. Cali
fornia -bred Kentucky Derby
champion, has frightened out his
opposition.
The track will decide today
when entries close whether to
make a betting race OF the
$50, 00-added event. If there is
betting, Swaps may set an all
time low payoff OF $2.10 to win.
The record is $2.20, set in 1888
by Lawrin.
The field. besides Swaps, prob
ably will consist Of Bequeath, his
stablemate In the Rex c. Ellis
worth barn. the Murcain Stables
Jeans Joe, the Ell See Stables
Brooksickle, and possibly one or
two others.
Unbeaten as a 3-year-old in
six straight races. Swaps appears
to be q cinch to run away with
his third big prize Of the year,
the Westerner being Holywood's
big event for 3-year-olds.
Swaps was unable to inveigle
his arch rival for national hon
Iors, Nashua. to compete in. a
500, 900 winner -take-all match
race out here, after having
beaten the pride Of the East in
the Kentucky Derby.
So tomorrow. over a mile-and-
|a-quarter distance, Swaps will
have to be content in his final
appearance this season at Holly
wood Park TO meet the equiva-
lent of the field he thrashed by
IL lengths last month.
The nearest to Swaps that
Afternoon was his teammate,
Bequeath. and the two could well
run one-two again.
The rival stables frankly are
in the Westerner cunning for
second place money Of $4,000,
and win accept the consolation
third and fourth place purses Of
500 and 5000.

High Gun, who failed in the
seven-furlong Carter Handicap
Monday. will be out to redeem
himself In the 67th running Of
the mile-and-one-quarte Brook

ed to High Guns style. Hello

Eddie Arcaro. who has ridden
three Brooklyn winners, will be
aboard High Gun. who carries
132 pounds.
High Gun, the 1854 champion
3-year-old, was late out Of the
gate in the Carter Monday, and
his 1873 pounds begged him down
as the lightly weighted Bobby
Brocato copped the upset de-
cision. The longer route of the
Brooklyn will be more to High
Guns liking. but the feather
weights in the field could pull
another upset.
Paper Tiger won the Edgemere
Handicap, beating Straight Face
June Is at Aqueduct.
With six starters the race will
gross $56.500, the winner taking

Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts A. P. News Analyst

Early action to settle the North African question has now become vital, not only to France but to the North Atlan- tic Treaty. Organization and the whole free world
 France has been trying ever since the war to find formula under which Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco could be kept peacefuIlly within the French Union. Algeria, first was given many inducements and, tech nically became a part of France It has been a relatively quiet spot during the recent troubles with Tunisia and Morocco.
 Then Tunisia was given even greater autonomy, and things quieted down there. But the in- lection burst out again in Mor- OccO.
 Now Algeria is in turmoil a. gain. And rebelliouls demonsta- tions are beginning to take on the aspects of a real revolt all along the Mediterranean's sou thwestern shore.
 But it is not only this shore which is involved. The Arab states of the middle east are be ginning ito take more and more interest, in which Egypt takes the lead.
 And it is Egypt which also leads the movement against correlation of western and A rab interests in defense plans for the middle east.
 For years these conflicting interests, coupled with Arab resentment toward the parti- ton of Palestine which the western powers sponsored in the United Nations, have cau- sed a split between nations which should be unified in their resistance to Communist expan sion.
 The United States has tried to play a middle role in the North African dispute, but a less active one than when she finally intervened to help Brit ain and Egypt solve their pro- blem. France is even more sen- sitive about the activities of ] friends of the court" than Bri- tain used to be.
 However, Britain, which is ! joining the Turkish-Iraq secur- ity pact, and the United States. trying to promote overall col laboration between NATO and l the Arab states, have a direct ! political interest in North Af- l rica.
 They also have a direct stra- l tegic interest. Thousands of | Americans man advanced air !, bases in bhe area, and both British and American blood
