Maybe Only the Shadows Know

NOT THAT IT'S original but Theodore Samuel Will
ams may tily summed up what to expect down the
stretch in the American League race Sounding like a
manager job he he doesn't seekTed puts it this
way:
Pitching has always been especially dominant during
September History proves that clubs with good pitching
have almost always been at their best during the final
month of any season.
The shadows on the ball field are longer, and the
hitters don't the ball quite we'll know for fact
that have more trouble hitting in September han say
in July.
September tends favor the pitchers in several ways
It's usually little cooler and the pitchers
their strength. There usually open dates the
last month and pitchers can get more rest allowing
manager to spot his better pitchers effectively
Does this sound like for the Baltimore Orioles
so rich in young, fast pitchers?
SOME CLUB HAS GOT to give soon in the AL race
The defending White Sox playing at home need hot
streak to reenter contention The few days may be
decisive with the Orioles and Yankees in the West
where If they fare we'll might make the
in Yankee Stadium September 6178 the most crucial
Of the season.
While the Yankees concluding their two-game
series tonight in Chicago before moving to Detroit the
Orioles will be winding up in Cleveland before invading

Not many teams win pennants that way. Indeed

WOODBERRY FOREST, Va.
Sept. 8.-If the Virginia foot
ball team scores twice as many
points as it did last year, and
the opponents score only hall
as many as in 1859, the Cava-
liers still would be in the hole
for the season by SO points.
It is rather depressing when
a team can have 100 per cent
improvement on offense and
defense and still be outscored,
but Virginia had such a dismal
season last year that you can
play all kinds of tricks with its
statistics. For instance, there
are the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence records set in reverse
most points scored against
(393) and most first downs
against (l93).
Coach Dick Voris stands up
in front of a group and tells
them he isn't concerned about
Virginia's 18- game losing
streak, but you know he's tell
ing a little white lie, because
he has to be. His teams have
won one game in two years,
that one over Duke in the Sec
ond game of the 1858 season.
Sets 1861 Target
Voris still says 1861 is his
target date to break even in
the ACC-but some say he
won't be around in 1861, or
even if he is the conference will
have disowned Virginia. The
Cavaliers are becoming a sched-
ule problem for the other
schools. There's no money in
the game at home or away.
But. Voris apparently intends
to see Virginia through the
dark age, and he seems to be
looking forward to it.

ROME, Sept. 8 .(AP) The
United States won its 31st
Olympic gold medal today when
the 1.600-meter relay team,
anchored by Otis Davis of Los
Angeles. broke the world record
with a time of 3 minutes 90
seconds.
1t was the first American
victory of the day after Russia
had picked up points by VIM
ming gold medals in equestrian
and shooting events.
Russia added another title
when Viktor Cybulenko won
the javelin, and after the first
four finals of the day Russia
had 90 gold medals to the

with many seconds, thirds and
other placing were well ahead

javelin final, finishing eighth
with 245 feet / inch, far short

The Russians winning toss
was 277-83s.
The Americans had further
hopes of additional relays vic
tories in later relays today
the women's 400-meter final
and the mems 400 final.
They were favored in both.
although Germany and the
United States both had the
same time in winning semi
finals in the mems 400.
The 1,600-meter relay team
broke the record of 3:03.9 set
by a Jamaica quartet in 1852.
400 Record Beaten
Otis Davis, the 400-meter
gold medal winner, withstood
a challenge by Germany's Carl
Kaufman to win by 4 yards.
In the 400 final leg Davis
beat Kaufman by a whisker
and both we're caught in world
record time of 44.9 seconds.
Both Otis Davis and Glenn
Davis of Columbus, the 400
meter hurdle champion, became
double gold medal winners by
the relay triumph. Jack Yerman
of Woodland, Calf, led by four
yards after the first leg but a
clumsy baton pass to Earl

The Senators remained a
half-game ahead of the In
dams in the battle for fourth
place as they defeated the

Lavagetto couldn't enjoy the
victory because he feared Pas

der injury, might call it quits
and head for Cuba at any
moment.
Cookie revealed yesterday
that Pascual packed his lug

header with the Orioles and
was ready to take off for home.
His wife teamed up with Cal
GrifIith and Travelling Secre-

out of it.

The respondent highlander,
rated by many as baseball's
best pitcher when physically
fit, agreed to remain in Wash

However, Camilo has been so

Pinch-hitters had been such
a flop for the Yankees that
they went out looking for help.
but it was a couple of guys
lthey had all along-Yogi Berra
and John Blanchard-who de-
livered in the clutch and put
the Yanks within a half game
of the American League lead.
After an error loaded the
bases, Berra and Blanchard
each drove two runs across
with pinch-hits as the Yankees
came from behind in a four
run eighth inning and defeated
the White Sox, Ga, last night
before a crowd of 36,732 in
Chicago.
1t was only the third vic
tory in eight games for the
Yankees, who recently bought
Dale Long from San Francisco
for pinch-hit help. But it put

winner, blanking the Sox with
out a hit for 2;s innings in
relief of Whitley Ford.
After Blanchard's double in
the eighth, a White Sox fan
charged out of The stands and
brawled with Esposito before
ushers closed in.
Costly Pickoff

tween now and May /.
Principals in the District
who have administered it al
ready, however, have had al
most without exception un-
happy experiences with it.
They make these points:
The survey uses much
valuable class time.
Instructions accompanying
the survey say youngsters
should be able to complete all
of the various steps in 10 min
utes. In practice, it has taken
much longer.
Most schools report it takes
about two hours to answer all
the questions. Woodrow Will
son students took two hours
and 20 minutes; ninth graders
at Stuart Junior High required
two and a half hours-and
didn't finish.
Mcfarland Junior High may
have set the record length OF
time for the survey-four hours

the survey is designed to get

A few questions are repeated
at different points in the sur
vey to maks sure the youngsters
are answering truthfully and
consistently. AS another check,
several impossible" questions
are also lncluded-such as do
you get physical exercise by
playing chess?"
DR.. Hoffsommer. DR.. Schmidt
and others associated with the
project agree that much of the
complicated administration of
the survey is necessitated by
the tight budget. They say the
amount of data to be collected
with the $34 900 is already more
than normally could be ex-
.pected.
They also say the children
enjoy participating in the sur
vey, that only a few teachers
have commented unfavorably-
and that most sociological re-
search comes under attack
from one source or another.
They are hoping the survey
will go better outside the Dis
trict. and that school admin
istrators will take special care
to explain the surveys purposes

Maryland
Picks Name
ForHiehwoy

Quicker than you can say
Washington Circumferential
highway, officials in Maryland
have come up with a new name
for it-Capitol beltway.
The Maryland State Roads
Commission has officially
named that States portion Of
the new highway now under
construction.
Capitol beltway is a better
name. the commission con-
tended. because it is short and
easy to pronounce.
Washington Circumferential
highway, although an unofficial
designation, is the name that
has been in general use for
the past several years.
But that name, the Mary
landers maintained, is too long
for road signs and sounds like
a tongue-twister.
A copy of the Maryland reso-
luton has been sent to the Vir-
ginia Department of Highways
with a request that the Virginia
portion of the 33-mile freeway
also be named Capitol Beltway
The Virginians have taken
no action but one official said
a more imaginative name would
be preferable. He suggested
George Washington or George
Mason.
A District highway official
said the roads name doesn't
really make much difference
especially to out-of-State mo-
torists.
ITO me it'll just be Route

SOUTHWEST
Legal SnorIs Block
Waterfront Action

Without specifying how it
should be done, the RIA sent
a long letter to the Commis-
sioners on February IT, asking
them to take the necessary ac-
tion to transfer" five cate
gories of waterfront land to the
RIA.
The categories include all
the land between Washington
Channel and the south boun-
Diary of new Maine avenue.
Under the redevelopment plan,
existing Maine avenue is to be
closed, and the new avenue is
to be curved landward to make
more waterfront land avail
able for redevelopment. New
Maine avenue, under the plan,
would extend no further toward
Fort McNair than M street
S.W., and the plan calls for
most of the portion of existing
Maine avenue between NJ and
Fort McNair to be developed
by RIA, mainly as a park.
Mr.. Searles stressed that
under RIA control the entire
waterfront would remain in
public ownership" with pri-
vate developers operating only
under long-term leases. At
present. private waterfront de-
velopments are permitted d
under leases issued by the Dis
trict and the Corps OF Engi-
neers. These leases, however,
are limited to terms OF five
years-too short a period for
the extensive developments
proposed in the new redevelop-
ment plan.
Under this plan, Mr.. Searles
said, a number of present uses
would be undisturbed. Among
these, he said, would be areas
of the waterfront where perm
anent seawall Improvements al
ready have been made by the
Corps of EngineerS-such as

Capital Yacht Club and the two

None of these developments
however, can move an inch un-
til the RIA gets legal authority
to control the waterfront.
Both District and RIA Of
flcials say there is no dispute
over the deSirability of such
control by the land agency. 1t
was understood, however, that
the lawyers have raised these
basic points:
]. Since the waterfront is
titled to the United States Gov
eminent, and not the District,
the city would have no author
ity to transfer ownership of
the land to RIA.
2. Short of ownership, they
do not believe present law
would permit the District or
the Corps of Engineers to
transfer even the jurisdiction
they hold over the waterfront
to the RIA.
AS part Uf a multi-purpose
amendment to its own act. the
RIA several weeks ago pro-
posed legislation that would
permit the District to transfer
to it land titled in the United
States and under District con-
troll. 1t was understood that
District officials, however. have
raised a number of other points

Chester Gray, District corr
poration counsel, said he has

snarl, but declined to discuss
it until it is presented to the
city heads. He said this may be

meeting Tuesday.

would give RIA actual owner

ly the authority to obtain con-
