The suspicious could conclude
that National League knock
down tactics had infltrated the
American League Saturday
when Earl Battey was fiattened
by one of Tom Sturdivant's fast
balls at Boston.
The count was two strikes.
Battey mad belted Sturdivant
for two homers on the two
other occasions they had met.
The Senators had scored 81
runs in.four earlier games with
the Red Sox. The time had
arrived, those inclined toward
suspicion could conclude. for
somebody to hit the deck.
Boston's pitching coach is
Sal Maghe, the former National
Lacquer whose nickname, The
Barber" was acquired in the
course of giving numerous hit

pitches. BoSton's manager is
Bill Jurges and another coach
is Billy Herman. both products
of the National League, where
the "duster" is accepted as
routine procedure.
When Camilo Pascual later
buzzed a pitch close to Sturdi-
want, Umpire Larry Napp in
.terrupted play to warn against
repetition. Nothing was said
when Battey was struck. Moth
ing had been said earlier when
Pascual had sent Bobby Thom-
son Sprawling. Nothing had
been said in Washington when
Frank Sullivan drove Bob Alli-
son into the dirt.

Most players accept brush

game, but they resent pitches
aimed at the head. Such pitches
invite disaster, despite protec-

don't shield all vulnerable
areas.
Standard retaliatory proceed
ure is to fill the air with
dangerous pitches. But there
are varying opinions as to who
should be the target. The quick

Of the same medicine. Drill him
and you will lessen his desire TO

the reasoning goes.
But there are others who are
vehement in declaring that the

Both methods call for exquisite
timing. however. in order to
evade that warning from UNI

cite some, because the objective
can be attained later with no
suspicion of intent to harm.
The idea is to let the game
continue on a polite basis for
two or three innings. Then,
when the opposition's star is
digging in at the plate, drop
him. And when you drop him,
make certain there was a gen.
erous supply of mustard on the
ball. Nail him, hut good.
After every beaning there
are the customary statements.

Exposing the other cheek
isn't accepted as an admirable
quality in baseball. A display of
meekness is regarded as the
equivalent of a lack of courage.
There's no remedy. The rule
reads, "A pitcher shall not
pitch at a batter's head" There
is no rule against leaving the
imprint of stitches on the ribs
or elsewhere on the anatomy.
Keep that swift one away from
the head and the umpire has
no reason to issue a warning.
And a baseball travelling at 90
miles an hour or so can leave
an ugly, crippling bruise on a
back, leg or arm.
It's a long time before the
Red Sox and Senators tangle
again, but ball players have
long memories. The first stray
pitch could ignite fireworks.

You see, ordinary
water-even with the addition of antifreeze
or rust inhibitor-can cause rust and
corrosion in your cooling system. This can
lead to poor gas mileage, ping, knock, re-
duced heater-defroster efficiency. And, if left
unchecked, burned valves, warped cylinders
and heads can result.

unit in his car.
His distress signal was picked
up by a Milwaukee ham radio
operator who notified the Mil

police in turn called the New
Mexico State police and a pa
trolman from Mountainair was
sent to the scene.
Upon arriving at the scene,

What has it all bought and
what Is 1t buying?
To date, 3.6e2 miles Of super
highways have been built with
Federal financial participation
to 19T5's high-speed standards
and an additional 3,139 miles of
existing primary roads have
been improved to meet needs Of
the 1905.
Additionally. work is under
way on 1890 miles and rights
of-way are being acquired for
10. .092 miles.
These figures do not include
the several Thousand n lies of

AS for the primary. secondary
and urban road program, ap-
proximately 100000 miles have

past four years. Contracts have
been signed for work on an
additional $4,000 miles.
First Estimate Too Low
There is one point in con-
nection with the cost of the
special superhighway program
which has been a matter of
considerable speculation and
rumor.
When Congress began con-
sideration Of the superhighway
program in 1854, 1t called for
an estimate Of costs.
The various States made
their estimates upon only six
weeks notice and came up with
q figure Of $27.5 billion. AS it
turned out, this estimate. was
studded with errors and guess
work.
After Congress approved the
program, the States went to
work on a more realistic esti-
mate at the behest Of the
United States Bureau Of Public
Roads. This time they came up
with q $40.9 billion estimate.
Most Of the rumors Of wide
spread corruption and waste
have been predicated on the
apparent increase in cost from
$27.5 billion to $40.9 billion.
There undoubtedly is a GER
tain amount of waste and cor
ruption in the programs, as
there would be in any project
so large and diffuse, but there
is no evidence that 1t amounts
to $13.4 billion or anything
like it.
