Moreover, the witness testified
that while he was connected with the

efforts to carry out the contracts.
He stated also that Charles w.

to use every effort to help the gov
eminent.
Another development today was
that Justice Stafford had granted
permission for the defense to file a
motion to quash the indictments on
the ground that one of the grand
jurors returning them was not
resident of the District of Columbia

jurors had not taken out naturaliza

dangerous to the progress and pros

Thursday.
! Hurley warned that what might
be termed postwar necessity" is now
being ignored by most business men
and manufacturers under the ener-
waiting influence of a recently de-
veloped prosperity.
He pointed out two grave perils
which he said had arisen from the
failure of industry to appreciate the
incentive or necessity for decreas-
ing costs and increasing efficiency
IN the face of an abnormally high
margin of profit. The first of these
was the fact that both management
and workmen were likely to become
inefficient; the second that high
prices at home had created an in
difference toward foreign trade.
The pioneers in American in
dustry won their success by fight
ing hard for businessS Hurley said.
ut was a sporting proposition and
the best man won in obtaining the
order. If, by a combination of cir
cumstances, this American fighting
spirit Is to be allayed. and we obtain
business easily and at high prices,
1t Is only a question of time before
business will become inefficient, and
inefficient management produces In

ously affect the progress of our

SPOR T s

An important decision which will
materially affect the Milford Club, Of
the Eastern Shore League, and re.
quire the club to release several OF
its class players has been rendered
by President M. B.. Thawley and for
warded to the club president.
A number Of games played with
the Milford club have been played
under protest by the opposing club,
charging the Milford Base Ball Clun
with having exceeded it's class player
limit. .. 4
Investigations completed by Presi-
dent Thawley reveal the fact that the
Milford Club had been playing six
players who must be classified as men
who have had the required expert
ence in leagues Of higher classified
ton than Class D, which is the clas-
sifcation Of the Eastern Shore
League.
The class players carried on the
Milford roster were McDougal, who
played outfield and utility with the
Salina Club of the Southwestern
League, which is in Class G, and who
played in 1876 games in 1922. Lind
say, who played first base with the
same club in 1872 games in 1922; Le-
Claire, who played outfield and utility
with the Hartlesville Club, of the
same league, in 113 games in 1922;
Humphreys, who pitched in 33 games
in 1922 with the same club, and Len
quist, who pitched in 80 games in
1922 with the Coffeyville Club, of the
same league.
According to the rule governing the
Eastern Shore League and similar
leagues in Class D, no team at any
time shall have on it's payroll or un-
der contract more than three players
including the manager, if he be a
playing manager, who has played in
more than rs regular scheduled
games, or if pitcher more than Ii
such games with club in any league
belonging to a higher classification.
President Thawley's decision as
forwarded to the officials Of the Mil
ford club reads, in part as follows:
"The Milford Club is found guilty,
as charged, and is hereby ordered
that the players, in excess of the linn
it allowed be released. or suspended
within six hours after receipt Of this
decision and the action wired Secre-
tary Farrell by the Milford Club.
"The, services of the players in ex-
cess must be dispersed with by the
Milford Club, and they are not to be
allowed to appear in uniform should
appeal from this decision be made.
ut is further ordered that ali
games won by the Milford Club since
June 9 be and hereby are declared
forfeited, as provided for in the off.
cial rule book for forfeited games
and the records and league standing
corrected accordingly. The game;
lost shall stand as legal games"

an asset to the town and community
can scarcely be measured, it brings

dairy products are bringing good

was driving his Buick car, sounded
his horn to give warning of his in
tention to pass a Ford just ahead,
the Ford turned slightly to the right
then turned to the left to go east on
the graveled road, just in time to
be struck quarterly by Mr.. Fuller's
car while endeayoring to pass. The
Ford driven by parties who's names
were not obtained turned back on
the pavement, while the Buick with
its four occupants bounded into the
ditch, turned once and a half over
through the barbed wire fence into
the irwin field, all of the occupants
remained in the car until it stopped, !
and none were injured except minor
bruises.
