Walters Hurls One-Hitter For Cincinnati Reds ‘Broken Bat' Hit In Eighth Frame Balks Red Hurler New York, May 15.—(VP) It baxvball bad a tough break book, the name of Ducky Walter* certainly would head it* Hxt today having mined the record book by the narruwixt of marginx yesterday. A fluke hit from a broken bat wielded by Connie Ryan of the Boston Braves deprived the big Cincinnati right hander of pitching the seventh perfect game in major league history. Only one has been recorded in the minors. Ryan was the only Boston player to get on base In the first game of a dotihleheader which the tt -ls won 4-0. Ills broken bat single, which probably would have gone for an outfield putout had the bat remained intact, barely eluded the outstretched lingers of third baseman Chuck A leno. Walter retired the other 27 batters he faced on 12 flies and 15 grounders for his fifth consecutive triumph and third shutout of the campaign. Os the six men credited with perfect games, two came in 18X0 when It took eight balls to walk a batter and the last was pitched In 1922 by Charles Robertson of Chicago against Detroit. The Braves regained their hitting power In the secod game and supported Ira Hutchinson's eight hitter with six rutrn for a 6-0 victory. Mort Cooper and George Munger pitched the 81. Ixuiis Cardinals to a double victory ami a three and a half game lead over the second place Philadelphia Phillies. Cooper won the opener 6 3 when his mates handed Ken Raffensberger his first lose of the season with a 14-hlt attack. Ray Sa<h-rs homered in the nighlcapt for the only tally and the

Family vacations will be curtailed by the wsr. and parents, as well ax communities, must help In planning recreation for themselves and | their children. Many fathers and I older brothers are away from home in the military service or war johe; the children will miss their stabilizing influence. More than six million people have migrated to centera of war production. These areas prsent problems of crowded living conditions and inadequate play •pace. Unless children have wholesome things to do. they become interested in activities that may lead to trouble, according to Mr. Staf•! ford's statement "The community must share the responsibility for the health, safety and well being throughout the entire year, In vacation time ae well as in school time. The experiences of past summers show clearly that many communities need to expand their year-round programs for children. This summer, school buildings and playgrounds should be kept open during the vacation season and parks, play fields, camp sites and community centers must be made available. Personnel must be found to provide supervision, leadership and a program.' 'Stafford urged. ■ ..0^— — —to — 11. Abandon Jay County Oil Well Drilling Mt. Vernon, inti.. May 15 (UP) The tMt.
