Denver Post.

missioner Of Public Works Of the Bor-
ough Of Queens Jim A. Dayton. jim an
nouncing. as he advanced. that he had
decided to umpire completely as to balls
and strikes and base running. Inas-

Republican o~fficeholder in a Democratic
borough under an otherwise Democratic
administration they let him get himself
