MP-MGH game ended 8-8 rained out today sultry. Felt rheumatic and loafed. Hear we were beaten on muddy diamond 12-3 by S & W. In PM watched SED put up hard fight against MGHrith. ? Chandles (N.Y. Yankees pitching) Boys hit him but blew up in 7th inning. My old friend of Charleston here. Now a Lt. Col.

Thunder lightening and cloudburst. Began before dawn and still pouring at seven. Streams out of banks and many persons not at work. Cleared bot and steamy. Got a few minor matters cleaned up and late in PM C.W. ht us with a lot of cut over orders. He's virtually junked the whole blow down plan. Writing now wondering if there'll be any baseball. Rumored old Vinegar Joe may command Chinese expedition. There was baseball. S. Eng. Dist. beat S & W in fine game 3-0.

Practically in charge of Plant. Quarantine nearly ready. National held up by lack of welder. Otherwise all OK. Work hummed along steadily. A little decision to make relative to electric cut over. Guessed right. Am up against it badly as regards the new installations. Lots of material is wholly unobtainable. Am to play on "slow" soft b. team. First game tomorrow. Bought glove. Cost 9.45! Ouch. Stone and Webster have goof hard ball team. Beat M.P.s 10-2. Long hard hits.

Felt very good. Walk took a lot of soreness out of my shoulder. Same old jobs at plant pushing chlorimeter freshair, etc. Fresh air main gives a lot of trouble but it nearly done. In evening worked out with soft ball team who beat Stone and Webster very soundly. Rack 8 with new columns back in service. Hear Germans had a "heavy water" plant in Norway.
