Last night, for example, the- Democrats beat the coached by "Runt" in the annual congressional game, sponsored this year by the Washington Evening Star for the benefit of needy children. Here's a sample of politicians at play' Rep. Gore (D-Tenn) went in to pitch. Result, six runs for the Republicans, and a reserved seat for Gore on the bench.

Now once you leave a baseball game you're supposed to be through, but that the 'Congress plans it. Gore wanted to bat. So he did. This turned out to be a good idea, For. with two men on base, he FOR GRADUATION GIVE A CAMEKA Revere Films of All Kinds HORSFIELD PRTG.

Retain Curtis Cup B1RKDALE, ENGLAND, May United States retained possession of the Curtis Cup, international golf trophy for women' by winning four of the six singles matches played today with British links The final score was 6M: to 2 1 The Americans, -who have held the pup since it was put into competition in 1932, won two of three foursomes yesterday. In addition to the four singles triumphs today they also drew 'with the British forces i.n a fifth. hit a homo run, the only one of the night.

The whole game was pretty much like that. THE STARTING pitchers were Reps. Wheeler and Corbett. Both got tired, then came back when their 'Sides got into trouble. Wheeler, by the way, is a mighty fancy pitcher.

In the five innings he worker the Republicans got only two runs. But the 5,000 spectators picked Rep. Teague (D-Tex) as their hero. He played second base, turned four sparkling plays, and got a double that drove in three runs, And he did this even though he wears a boot that covers an arti ficial lost his own on Anzio beachhead. The Scoreboard might have -told a different story If the Republicans could have elected a few more players like Rep, Glenn Davip (Wis.) Davis, who homered to beat the Democrats last year, 16-13, got four hits in four times at bat last night.

Rep. Abernethy (D-Miss.) could have had a home run, too, but he ran out of wind at third base, and promptly bivouacked. All Schacht, the baseball comedian, handled the microphone job. His best crack came in an inning which say the Democrats make five runs. "If the Democrats get that sixth run." said Schacht, "President Tru man will try for the extra point."

Open Champion Lew Worsham thariked ''Luck" for his presence in third round play of the Professional Golfers Association Tournn- ment today.

Worsham, a modest who plays golf out of Oakmont, considered himself fortunate in winning yesterday's first round match over Al Watrous, Birmingham, one up. But big Jim Ferrier, the 1947 champion, wasn't so fortunate. The Australian-born Ferrier, currently of San Francisco, lost in the second round to Masters Champion Claude of Mamaroneck, N. Y. Harmon won 1-0.

But if Worsham was dlscourajr- ed by his lough trials in the qualifying heats and first round, lie had only to look to his 7 and victory over Erie Ball, of Oak Park, 111. for encouragement, The Californian fired a 31, font- strokes under par, going out against Ball, several putts being conceded. Worsham faced Jim 'Ojai, today in the third round and Harmon went up against Henry Ransom, Ravinio, 111. Ransom won from Lloyd Mangrum, Chicago, 3 and 2, in the second round, and Demaret won from George Getchell, Oklahoma City, 3 and 1.

Two cars conceded a chance to break the qualification record set by the late Ralph Hepburn were among those expected to go today. Duke Nalon of Los Angeles was reported ready in a sister car to the Novi Grooved Piston Special in which Hepburn was killed last Sunday, and Chet Miller was expected to go out in Don Lee's German Merceres.

Those who qualify today will line up in order of their speeds, behind the ten which qualified last week-end. They cannot movo ahead of earlier qualifiers, even if their times are faster, unless some of the earlier cars are crowded out by faster cars. Only the 33 fastest may start in the race.

In a game here Thursday, Rip tossed "wild" to first to catch a runner off the bag.

As the 'first baseman, missed the pitch, the player dashed for second. Then Duncan nailed him with the ball, which he had concealed in his glove. That "wild pitch" to first was a fast-breaking Irish potato. Umpires took a dim view of the play, allowed the runner to stay on second. Says Mississippi Fish Not "Dented" By Anglers H.

Air Force Starts Work Toward 70-Group Status WASHINGTON, May The air force began building toward a record peacetime strength By Associated Press It's a big jump from the bottom of the heap to the first division, but the Pittsburgh Pirates are trying to prove that, it can be done. Of course, the season has a long way to run and the Pirates may snag when they run into the usual heavy mid-season doubter headers, but Manager Billy Meyer's crew is in third place today, pressing the St. Louis Cardinals for the lead. Due to postponements, Meyer has been able to give his veteran pitchers such as Rip Sewell, Elmer Riddle and Fritz Ostermueller plenty of rest and the oldtimers have come through with nine of the Pirates 15 victories. Very few thought that the Pirates, who finished the 1947 season in a seventh place tie with the Philadelphia Phillies, would be among the upper brackets this year.

One who did however, is Branch president of the Brooklyn Dodgers. "THE PIRATES finish in (he first division," Rickey said in spring training. The Deacon didn't say exactly where he thought his Dodgers would place and perhaps as well. Rickey isn't reminding people of his prediction and pointing out how the Pirates are living up to it because his Dodgers, defending National League champions, are in seventh place and threatening to drop lower. The Pirates paid their first visit to Ebbets Field, home of the yesterday, and shot up the place, S-4, to hand the Brooks their sixth straight loss.

Frankie Gustine and Max West were the big guns in the Pirate bombardment, but former Dodgers Ostermueller, Hal Gregg and Dixie Walker also played important parts. The victory enabled the Pirates to pull to within four percentage points of the second place New and Aaron Robinson, beat the New York Yankees, 3-0. Wight held the Yanks to three singles while Robinson drove in one run and scored another. The win was the last place Sox's fifth in 24 games. In a night game at St.

Louis the Browns eked put a 4-3 victory over the Washington Senators to hold fifth place, five percentage points behind the Tigers. A scheduled night game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Phillies in Philadelphia was postponed because of rain. LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF CLAIM DATE Estate of GUI Edgar also known as James G.

Because lots of elderly Murphysboro men of today will recall this. the day when Jesse died under the old sycamore tree at: the northeast corner of Court Square. There came one day, to the heart of our fair little city (except that the streets were not paved), one bewhiskered gent under a ten- gallon hat on the driver's seat of a black hack behind two rrfules.

And, lo! when he pulled up in the shade of the tree he revealed that he had this same Jesse with him. Jesse James, shot and breathing his last, and it cost, but the tenth part of one dollar to see the wax. Yes, sir, the living image of the bandit bold, showing where the bullet from a traitorous partner's pistol laid him low. DID THE kids and old men pile in to see Jesse? They did. And there he was, as in the flesh, a stream of red ink crawling out of a terrible wound inflicted by one of those Wild West 45's.

Jesse's breast rose- and fell fitfully and the bipod ran faster. Prior to that, Jesse was killed in April, ,1882, to the record. Latest development -in the case was state's attorney Max Weston's offer to drop a- demand for- the death penally in exchange for a guilty plea from Marsh. But Marsh's attorney, B. J.

Knight, refused to comment on Weston's offer. The young farmer already has been acquitted on murder charges in connection with one of the pf Vernon Anderson, 28-year-old husband of Kativ- erine (Kt) Anderson with whom Marsh had an illicit lover affair.

NEW SENATOR Meat Strike Is Over; Rail Dispute Unsettled By the Associated Press The nationwide meat strike is over against all but one of the four major packers. But prospects for seltling the railroad dispute have dimmed. The 10-weeks old strike of the CIO United Packinghouse Workers Union ended yesterday against Swift, Armour and Cudahy when the union accepted the nine cents an hour wage increase originally offered by the company. The workers had struck for 29 cents. The strike, which saw some violence, will continue at seven Wilson plants which normally employ about 8,000 persons.

The union contended that Wilson insisted on reserving the right to re-employ strikers and refused to rerhire strikers charged with unlawful ap.ts during the strike. Dodgers, S-4.
