American Legion Hopes to Form
An Auxiliary Organization

Several weeks ago Commander
Lawrence of the local post American
Legion named q committee of three
to ascertain the concensus of opinion
regarding the forming of ladies
auxiliary to the post, which commit
tee reported that all ladies inter
viewed were much interested in the
project and promised their support
to the movement. Adiutant Edward
P. Kahl has received the following
communication from the headquarters
Of the American Legion Auxiliary,
which is self explanatory:
AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
Department Of Maryland.
Annapolis, Md, Feb. IA, 1925.
Mr.. Edward P. Kahl, Adjutant,
Oakland, Md,
Dear Sir:-Your letter in reference
to organizing an auxiliary to your
Proctor kildow Post No. II, has Just
been received, and | am delighted to
know that you want an Auxiliary to
your Post, and have wondered why
the women of your community have
missed this opportunity for service
to our boys as well as to miss being
a member Of such an organization as
our National American Legion Auxil-
iary and its units.
We shall WELCOME Oakland into the
State Department of Maryland after
YOU have formed your local unit and
feel sure your women will never re-
gret organizing and becoming a part
of this great organization which is
going to mean so much in the future
as the American Legion will surely
do.
| am forwarding your letter to the
State President, Miss May A. Dur
kan, Baltimore, and she will send you
all the data and if possible she will
come to Oakland and help organize
your women at such time as you may
designate.
Very respectfully,
JULIET D. STRAHORN,
Department Secretary.

extremely pleasing place, IS Weston,
Mass. Weston formerlyfhad a large
swamp area in its cepkfr. This has
been drained, graded seeded to grass,
and planted to r,Ee, fir and ches,-
nut trees. A new town hall and
fire station have been built opposite
the entrance to the common. Public
buildings now are centrally grouped.
Old, unsightly structures have been
torn down. The improvements were
planned by landscape architect. It
took twenty-five years to put the
plan through, but everyone in Weston
now believes the enterprise was
worth the time and money it cost.
A village that was started with a
good plan and has realized it is Pat
terson, Calf. This village and colony
of irrigated farms, occupying eight
teen thousand acres, were planned in
1917. Roads leading to the village
were strategically located and plant
ed with trees and shrubs, The viii
lage itself has eight streets radiat-
ing from a civic center, where the
public buildings are situated. In the
last four years the residents of the
village have built a public library,
a community club house, an concrete
swimming pool and a grammar
school and have provided a tourist
park.
A town dump at Lewisburg, Pa,
has become a scenic asset, through
the activities of women, who formed
a civic club, launched civic improve
meEt propaganda, and accumulated
funds for q program.

in the village. He goes there for
amusement and for social purposes
generally. His children often go to
school there.
An attractive village, says the de-
partment, is an important influence
in stablizing farm life and in coun-
teracting the attractions which cities
have for the young people of the
farms. AS the farmers chief point
Of contact with outside interests, the
village can make a big contribution
to the happiness of farm life, even if
it be considered from no other stand
point than the fact that it is the
place where the farmer spends a
large part of his income.
Where villages are being made
more beautiful, the impetus has come
in nearly every case from local initia-
tive. Villages that have well-plan-
ned streets, attractive recreation
spots, and pleasing approaches are
nearly always indebted for these ad-
vantages to the energy and public
spirit of some small group of citizens.
Under such inspiration dump heaps
have been turned into garden spots,
unsightly shacks and dilapidated
stores have been torn down and re-
placed by smart, substantial business
buildings, and extensive programs of
landscape gardening and tree plant
ing have been undertaken.
Villages that have embarked on
this path are finding that beauty
pays. 1t improves local business and
attracts tourist business. 1t enhan-
/ ces real estate values, and has q
powerful influence in raising indi-
viduaI standards of efficiency and

FOR BEAUTY IN VILLAGES
Advantages OF Making Small
Towns Attractive Pointed
Out BY d. Of A.

American villages should plan for
comfort and attractiveness, the same
as cities and will find it profitable to
do so, the department of agriculture
says after a survey Of village life
throughout the country.
Nearly 20 million people in the
United States, or about one-ffth Of
the population, live in villages, and
80 million farming people use these
villages for purposes Of business,
education, religion, health and social
well-being. Yet these centers of
rural population usually are unat-
tractive and often very ugly, the de-
partment says. Villages in other
countries generally are much superior
to those in the United States in de-
sign, in character Of their streets
and public buildings, and in their ap-
proaches and recreation spots. A
start, however, has been made toward
beautifying the American villages.
Some examples Of leadership in
this respect are recorded by the de-
partment of agriculture, which has
been studying the problem of village
planning from the standpoint Of its
Importance to the rural community
and particularly to the farmer. 1t is
more as buying than as a selling
place that the farmer makes use OF
the village. In marketing his prin-
cipal products he generally deals with
some large distributing center. But
he purchases his household supplies

Final With Sox Today Pace achen Pouesa Stunning Surprise
HOT PENNANT RACES
IN SOME OF MINORS

The race of the Southern Associa-
ton tightened up in the past week
and the separation between the first
club and the last shrunk to a sur
prising point.
New Orleans got to the top and
Memphis continued to be a red-hot
threat despite the fact that it stuck
around fourth place.
In a race as close as that of the
Southern. fourth-place club is so
near the leader that a squirt of a
couple of weeks can put it at the top.
st. Paul hung around first place in
the American Association. but IT. is
by no means certain that it will be
there two weeks from now. It's lead
has been shortened, showing that
Louisville, Indianapolis and Milwau-
kee are still very much in the fight,
and some of the second division clubs
are doing their bit in the victory line.
Columbus is the laggard.
1t is a pity that Syracuse and ProVi-
dence aren't doing more than they are
in the international League. SYRIA
cuse took a squirt recently and show
ed that ii could win sometimes, but
the club has too little that is sub
Stantial.
Toronto In the International, and that
that it is being presented with a new
Kind of show. 1t is certain some of the
league members resent the loss of
the franchise at Newark. and 1t is
possible that Newark will get back
eventually with something entirely in
dependent of any other club in the cir
cult.
The entrance of Albany into the
Eastern League fight means race
worth while in that organization. This
race may turn out to be the finest
four-cornered affair that the Eastern
has had in some time.
The Western League is as full of
sensations as all of the minors seem
to be this season. They need only
to have Wichita and Omaha get into
first place to give all the boys
taste of league leadership. Six of
the eight clubs have held the lead
and all six of them are still in the
pennant chase.

PILLS BATTLE REDS
FOR FIRST. DIVISION

NEW YORK. June 8 C9.-Fourth
place in the National League. the
most disputed peg of the circuit at
present, is the objective Of Philadel-
phia and Cincinnati teams in a series
opening in Redland today.
Idleness cost Fletcher the lower
berth in the first division yesterday.
When the Phillies were travelling
from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, the
Reds crowded past the Quakers by
taking their third consecutive extra
inning game from the Braves, to 2.
The drive of the Cardinals to break
from the cellar was checked again
by the champion Giants, who clinched
the series with a s-to-2 triumph. Man
ager Hornsby did his best to turn
back the leaders by collecting three
hits, but his teammates were. unable
to hit Art Nehf in the pinches.
An eight-inning rally which brought
five runs gave the Robins their final
tilt with Chicago, 10 to g., and kept
Brooklyn in the running with New
York
st. Louis Browns took the measure
of the Yankees. to 2, Babe Ruth
failing to connect safely in five trips
to the plate. Ken Williams slashed
out his fourteenth home run of the
year and had the distinction. of being
the only player to hit for four bases
yesterday in the majors. It was his
fourth homer in the past three games.

WAMBY OF RED SOX
Is A POWER AFIELD

Bill Wambsganss of the Boston Red
Sox is the first big league player this
season to achieve a record of IA field
ing chances accepted in one nine-in-
ming ball game.
There have been higher records in
other years, but anybody who accepts
IA is entitled to at least three cheers.
Wambsganss. moreover. has accepted
s per game in games, which is a
better record than any other player
can claim; has accepted chances
twice and IL once.
Several infielders have accepted -
in a game. including Critz of Cincin-
natl, Adams of the Cubs, Collins of
the Chicago White Sox, Wright of
Pittsburgh, Jackson of the Giants and
O'Rourke of Detroit.
OF course, the greatest fielding dis
tinction that ever came to 'Wamby"
was the unassisted triple play that he
made in Cleveland in the world series
with Brooklyn. The play happened so
fast that many fans did not catch UP
with it until the next day. Had this
veteran second baseman been able to
bat as well as he can field, he would
have been one of the greatest stars
of the game.
Cleveland let Wamby go in trade
which seemed to be advantageous, but
today If Wamby were giving Cleve-
land the fielding steadiness of which
he is capable the Indians might be
moving on a little better.
Wamby batted as high as .295 once
in his major league career, and five
years after that got back to .290, but
he could not be written down as a
slugger at his best.
The only infielder in the American
League, however, who is giving Wam-
by a race in the field is McManus of
the Browns -
Evening star., 1925-06-08


In some respects he may lack a
trifle of the quick time sprint that he
had when he first broke in, but IL
that is noticeable it is more apparent
on the bases than in the field.
Probably Roush is a more sensa
tional fielder than Carey. He has no
superior as a judge of fly balls. Add
to that his speed, which is only
a little short of Carey's, and the COM
bination is a rare one. In his career
Roush probably has cut off more long
line drives than any center fielder of
his day. He is one of the few center
fielders who can judge fly ball by
the sound on the bat" marked ad.
vantage where the hitting has been
so free as it has in recent years.
Southworth of the Giants has come
back with such an improvement over
his 1924 showing that he does not
seem like the same player. He was
not well last season and seemed to be
unable to get going. His batting sag
ged in his general falling off and he
was almost completely dropped from
the Giant batting order. But for Nc
Graw's long standing faith in him he
might have been dropped from the
team.
When Cincinnati traded Harper to
center fielder whose work is really
extraordinary, considering the fact
that he is constantly engaged in fill
ing in right field and backing it up
where Williams has lost his speed.
The big right fielder can still bat, but
he has slowed down, and Harper, by
his agility and swiftness, is handling
everything which is hit to right CEN
ter.
Brown of Brooklyn is one of the
cleverest outfielders in base ball. To
his fine work in center last season
Dazzy Vance owed much of his sue
cess, and he is doing a lot this year
to keep the Brooklyns up In the race.
Neis has been playing center in
Boston, and some Of his catches are
described by opposing players as lit
tie short of miraculous. Chicago is
not as we'll equipped in center as
other clubs The Cub outfield needs
Strengthening. The fact that the
team would not keep Miller shows
how the loss of more sureness is felt.
Brooks has made a sensational start.
st. Louis has experimental much in.
center field. although Mueller fire.
quently played very excellent game.
