Senators Take Third Straight Double Header New York. Aug. 4.--tl i’t Own er (’kirk Griffith's hig "tow for one' sale at the Washington hall park went into its fourth day today and a musty 190(1 major league record for double headers won on consecutive days had a good chance to be challenged. The Senators, who have the only pitching staff in the majors capable of standing tip against such a schedule, won their third twin bill in as many nights last night, using a relief hurler and a seldom worked oldster to deal the Boston Red Sox 7 to 3 and 3 to 1 defeats. I'revii...sly the Senators won twin bills on successive nights from the apathetic Athletics and after th it "speed up" program. Manager Ossie Bltlege had no one to send to the mound except the Venezuelan shock trooper. Vlejaiidro ('arrasqqnel, and Grandpa .John Niggeling. Both came through in fine style. Uai r.isquel pitching a five-hitter to win the opener, although lour Boston errors helped. In the second game. Niggeling. who hadn't won a game since July (>. gave up only six hits to win a duel from Jim Wilson, who yielded 10. However, the Senators are only I three-fifths o' the way toward their | goal. They must win double j headers today and tomorrow against the Red Sox to equal the ; mark of the 19ml New York Highlanders. forerunners of the current I Yankees, who won live double headers in as many days, three against the Senators. The spree of the Senators moved them within three games of the leading Tigers, who bust. The Tigers were turned hack at. I Chicago by 40-year-old Earl ('aid- j well of the White Sox who pitched a seven-hit. 5 to 0 shutout. The defeat ended a six game Detroit' winning streak. Leroy Sehalk. batted in three, runs with a double ami two singles. The rejuvenation of the Yankees continued at the expense of weakei eastern teams as big Ernie Bonham beat the Athletics. 4 to 1, for his third straight victory after he dropped eight of his first nine games. The big putiih was supplied by Oscar Grimes, who hit a two-run homer. Three pitchers concentrated- on stopping a two-run ninth inning Cleveland rally, which tell a run short ami gave the Browns a 6 to 5 victory at St. Lottis. Vein Stephens gave the Browns a start to victory with his 15th homer. The Cubs, roaring on toward the pennant, ran their amazing streak over the Reds to 15 victories by winning a double header, 11 to 5 and 9 to 1. For the second time in a week, the Bruin* used their Hank Wyse-Hank Borowy combination. Wyse winning the opener for his 16th decision, while Borowy took his second straight since coming over from the Yankees, a five-

Radio li tenors reported that part of the communique's reference 10 Stia'.n was deleted wi'h these words substituted "The communique then referred to Spain and said that three governments would not support any application for entry of said country into the t'ni'ed Nations.” If Allied sanctions come, it was thought that Franco might do hi.s utmo.-t 10 warm up Spaniards to the idea of tightening their belts and sticking it out. Som observers pointed out that even antiFascists supported Mussolini in his Ethiopian campaign when Italy was hit by sanctions. The majority of respon-ible Spaniards asked themselves: "Do Ixnidon and Washington mean business? Are they out to get Franco?" Most Spaniards confessed they found the Allies' attitude, especially that of the United State-, extremely baffling.

" CLEAR SOLDIER (Continued From Page Orel der to rei’lime work ami tried to escape, Fr< dericksen said. "The three I shot had been loafing all morning.” Garland, veteran of the North African campaign, told Frederickson. "They didn t pay any attention when 1 tried to get them to do their work properly. Finally they quit work all together. "I was about 200 yards away and had to stay there tn keep in sight of the other prisoners, but by making motions 1 told them to continue working;. "They refused and motioned back with their hands as if to say, ‘Go to hell.' “When I couldn't get them to go back to work, 1 slung my carbine to my shoulder. They made a break for it. and I yelletj ‘half three times. They didn't and I fired.” He said he dropped to a kneeling position to shoot, because of a shrapnel wound in his right elbow received in combat in Tunisia. The position of the bodies of the prisoners, Fredea’icksen said, indicated that they were running toward a road near the field when they fell. "I don't have a grudge against prisoners.” Garland was quoted as saying, “I have laways gotten along with them good and they have said they would as soon work for me as any other guard. Also, I don't have any sympathy for them either, and I figured I was doing my duty.” Other POWs at work elsewhere in the field supported Garland’s statement that they and their fellow captives considered him a fairminded guard.
