Landlord Wins Commission
Case Under Statute Of
Limitations

Judge Robert e. Mattingly. Of the
Municipal Court, has dismissed
two proceedings brought by Major
A. Coulter Wells, special gOverpF
ment counsel To prosecute suits
handed down from the defunct Rent
Commission against John b. Shea
hin, owner Of apartments at 1885
q street northwest.
The court held in this case that
landlords may not be required to
pay penalty of twice the amount
OF excess rental collected from ten
ants in cases whore suits have not
been instituted within one year.
The court sustained plea Of. the
statute Of limitation submitted by
attorneys Henry Il Quinn and
Counsel for the owner pointed
out that the suits were to recover
q. statutory penalty which could not
be enforced after the expiration OF
one year. Major Wells claimed
that the statute did not apply be-
cause the United States is party,
inasmuch as the law requires that
one-haH OF the amount recovered
shall be covered into the United
States Treasury to the credit Of the
District OF Columbia. Since the
money ultimately goes to the Dis
trict, the court held he could not
sustain the claim that the United
States is the real party in interest
ana dismissed the suits which were
for $3.50 and 1855 each.
II is reported that a number Of
cases will be disposed of by this
decision which, however, will not
rule in cases brought within one
year OF the collection Of the excess

MORE KIDS PLAY
BALL THAN
EVER
President Heydler Gets En-
couraging Data From
Many Cities

That baseball as game for the
boys Of all sections Of the country
is on the increase rather than on 9
decline is the firm conviction Of
President John A. Heydler, s.of the
National League, according to q
statement given out recently by the
leagues service bureau.
To disprove statements that the
game was dying out among the
youngsters Of the country this bu-
reau sent queries to city park com,
missioners In a number of major
and minor league cities, and the
replies to these queries are con
tained in the official statement.
Recently there have been state.
ments made and carried over the
country by the press to the effect
that baseball was declining as a
game for the boys Of the land"
says the document. Naturally,
President John Heydler, of the Ma
tional League, was deeply inter.
ested in such forebodings. While
the season of 1923 was the best his
league has ever had in point Of at.
tendance, and 1924 exceeded the
banner year Of 1928, and while the
last two world series attracted
more interest and admissions than
ever before in the history Of the
game, and while he had the facts
and figures to prove that the gen.
eral interest Of the adult fan was
greater than ever, he had nothing
to disprove these assertions about
the boys losing interest in the play.
ing OF the game.
Now, major league baseball must
recruit it's great players from the
young men who learn to play the
game on the lots. A decadence of
amateur ball would threaten the
high class of major league ball.
Was there really such a decline?
President Heydler determined to
find out, and SO, through his league
service bureau, he queried the CITY
park commissioners by a score of
representative major and minor
league cities throughout the coun-
try.
A study Of their statements in
reply and recapitulation Of their
figures. convince him that baseball
is on the increase rather than on
the decline with the boys of the
land. There are three times as
many diamonds in the cities as
there were ten or fifteen years
ago and there are five times as
many boys playing ball earnestly
and joyfully upon these diamonds
as there were a decade or two ago.
