Cool unpleasant day. Tried to get condenser job moving. Got line on ? steel and got some of it worked out. Beginning to take out ? column. Heavy pipe finally got here. Also getting quarantine tank ready. In PM went up to softball field a while and tried to limber my arm u playing with a youngster. Arm pretty stiff and sore. Later found our hard ball team playing MPs under lights. Massacre. MP 34 Fercleve 0! Awful. Our first three batters never touched the ball. Light spatter of rain. Hitler reported dead. Adm. Doenitz in charge of Germany.
