The Sun Shines in Flatbush; Mighty ‘Whitelaw’ Is Back

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 18—The Dodgers were back on the National

League pedestal today and as the boys in Flatbush say,

done it.” “Whitelaw” is none other than

“Whitelaw Whitlow Wyatt, the Dodgers’ ace

who has been having his ups and downs lately, but he had it yesterday in Boston and gave Brooklyn pennant stock a real shot in the arm.

“Whitelaw from Chickermauker,” as the Flatbushers refer to him because he was born at Chickamauga, Ga., came within two outs of pitching a no-hit, no-run game as the Dodgers beat the Braves, 3-0, and swept Sunday's double-header before 35.320 largest National League crowd in Boston this season. Wyatt disposed of the first 25 batters to face him but Phil Masi, with the count two strikes and mo balls, singled cleanly to center. Then Wyatt fanned Rowell and forced De- . maree to pop up, rounding out a 1-hitter for his 16th triumph. In as much as the Cardinals broke even with the Pirates, Brooklyn moved back into the National League lead by half a game. Wyatt’s triumph couldn't have come pt a more propitious time. In his last start he had been flailed out of the box by the Giants and there were all sorts of stories going around about his arm, his health and his heart. Kirby Higbe let the Braves down with five hits in winning the opener 5-1. In addition, he poled out a double and three singles in four trips helping himself win his 17th triumph, high mark for a National League hurler.

Five of his nine rivals encountered the heart-breaking motor trouble that so often occurs in this 12-year-old classic. All craft had 225 cubic inch piston displacement. It's doubtful if any of the 40,000 spectators along the river's wooded banks or in the large spectator flotilla gave Schrafft a chance when the gun started the first heat. Two other boats were heavy favorites: the Tommymann 3rd, owned y Joe Taggart, an ice cream anufacturer of Canton, O., and The Tops, owned by 6l-year-old Jack Cooper, Kansas City truckman, the defending champion.

By MARJORIE VAN DE WATER By Science Service Psychology Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Men unfit psychologically to stand up under the discipline and emotional strain of military life but who have gotten by the watchful eyes of selective service medical officers now are proving a burden to the medical service of the Army. These men, many of them, are not “crazy.” But they simply cannot make good in close association with other men, under strict discipline, and “roughing it.” They break and go into a hospital bed. More than half the beds in military hospitals in the United States are occupied by patients with nervous or mental diseases, according to Lieut. Col. William C. Porter of the U. S. Army Medical Corps. These beds are often urgently needed for physically ill men. The Army has no provision at present for any sort of limited service for these men after they have partially recovered. For this rea-

Robert Beam James Nau were Robert Bruck, Troop 3; Richard Singleton, Troop 19; Joseph Milan, Troop 64; Robert Beam, Troop 71; Lawrence Jenkins, Troop 77; Ernest Smith, Troop 79; James Nau, Troop 87, and Carroll Grafton, Troop 360.

Mental Ailments Fill Beds Of U. S. Military Hospitals

son, they must be kept in the hospital until they are discharged from the service or until their recovery is complete enough so that they can return to full duty. Col. Porter estimates that about one-fourth of all the beds in well established general hospitals in the Army are occupied continuously by such patients, keeping the space immobilized for any other purpose. It is not easy to discharge a soldier of the United States Army for military disability. His rights must be protected. His claims to compensation considered. Often it may take as long as two or three months to get a man who has broken down completely out of the service and out of his hospital bed. Medical facilities, each month, are tied up to the extent of thousands of pa-tient-days. A remedy for the situation is seen by some psychiartrists in a provision for limited service for men convalescing from a nervous breakdown or for those who appear to be approaching the breaking point.

SIX CHILDREN DIE IN FLAMING HOME

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. Aug. 18 (U. P.).—8ix children perished today in a fire which destroyed the home of a WPA worker near Grange, Pa. and two were saved—one by the heroic efforts of an 11-year-old child who herself died in the flames. The dead, ranging in age from 2 to 11 years, were children of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Bush, who escaped after a soot explosion in the kitchen stove blocked the stairway to the single room where the eight children were sleeping. The hysterical parents watched as Elva, 14, leaped to safety from a window. Then Leora, 11, was seen to bring Cloy, her 4-year-old brother,.to the window and throw him to safety. Apparently returning to save others, the little girl was not geen again. Those who died in addition to Leora were Fanny, 10; Curt, 9; Shirley, 7; Nancy, 5, and Etta, 2. Mrs. Bush said she was kindling a fire in the stove to prepare breakfast when the explosion occurred.

'Poochie’ Comes Home and Dies

“POOCHIE” IS DEAD. The two and one-half year-old police dog found Saturday after having been missing for more than a week, died yesterday. The dog had wandered to an address in N. Davidson St. 300 block, Saturday, ill and hardly able to walk. Thomas Murphy, 653 N. Rural St., the dog's owner, took “Poochie” to a veterinary who said the dog was suffering from “grieving and from receiving the wrong kind of food.” Police still are investigating the dog's mysterious disappearance from the time he was picked up by dog catchers until he was found.

TROOP EN ROUTE TO ‘WAR’ CROSS INDIANA

A column of more than 14,000 men of the Army's 5th Division moved through Indiana today en route from Ft. Custer, Mich. to the Louisiana maneuver area, an 800-mile march. A change of plans announced today canceled the east column which was to make a night bivouac near here Wednesday. New plans concentrated all troops into one column to facilitate better transportation. The column entered Indiana at 8 a. m. today on Route 15 in Elkhart County, State Police said. They will move on Routes 24 and 35, to 29, 28 and 43 to Crawfordsville, where an overnight encampment will be made. The men march again on State Road 47 to U. S. 41 to U. S.
