Our boys played a lot of close games this year which shows they were in there pitching every minute. Next season they'll be a year older and a year wiser and all those errors that cost them the games this year will serve as stepping stones to a successful team next year. Good luck boys, don't relax, but keep those arms pitching and in good shape for the next season* T Disability itate Oumgm Because of the much greater percentage of survival from gunshot wounds of the brain, chest and abdomen in this war than in World War I and because of new disabilities incident to service in the tropics, the Veterans administration has adopted a new rating schedule in determining the degree of disability suffered by veterans af this war.

Changes in the medical concept of the relationship of specific diseases to other conditions and to their service connection are also reflected in the new schedule. This has resulted in the inclusion of many new disabilities, some of which are rated as high as 100 per cent on a temporary basis where they are not expected to produce more than a 10 per cent permanent disability. All changes are designed to facilitate more accurate and more equitable ratings for the various types of disabilities. In using the new rating schedule, however, the basic policy of the Veterans administration remains unchanged and the veteran is allowed the benefit of the doubt as between the higher of two ratings, in determining whether or not a disability is service-connected. ..4„.
