SANDLOTTERS'
SALT AND
PEPPER
By R. D. THOMAS

Due to the intelligent effort OF
Capt. John r. D. Cleland. president
Of the Capital City Baseball Asso-
citation, and Walter Haight, secre-
tary, sandlot baseball IL coming
back in Washington and coming
strong.
Captain CIeland and Haight have
brought order out of chaos. They
have established something for the
boys to shoot at, given 'em a goal.
The teams have quit laundering
and once more are headed some.
where.
This makes q great difference
in the amount Of general interest
in sandIOt baseball. A team play.
ing for a championship means
playing merely for the days
amusement.
The sandlot bugs have begun com.
pairing the relative strength of Vari-
GUS team and the possibilities of
each as championship contender.
It's good sign. The crowds that
flocked to sandlot contests a few
years ago will come back if given
the attractions.
Captain Cleland and Haight are
preparing said attractions in the
way of championship battles.
They have organized the younger
players and the unlimited class
independents. They have left one
more job. The regularly organized
leagues have no controlling body.
Should they be represented in the
Capital City Baseball Association,
sandlot baseball would have an or.
ganization unequalled by any OF the
past. The game would be com
pletely organized. What a boon
that would be may be judged from
the illness that afflicted sandlot
baseball when 1t had no organiza
ton, or the next thing to none.

COOLIDGE OPPOSES
u. S. RUBBER LOANS
Believes Private Concerns Must
Handle American Controlled
Plantations.

Proposed Government loans for the
development of American-controlled
rubber plantations do not have the ap-
proval of President Coolidge. When
the rubber situation was brought up
at the White House Mr.. Coolidge
is understood to have made clear
that he would disapprove of any
suggestion for the Government g lend
money for such purposes. He believes
this is a proposition to be handled by
private interests exclusively.
The suggestion of Government loans
for the development OF American-con-
trOlled rubber plantations was first
made yesterday by F. A. Sieberling.
president of the Sieberling Rubber
Co. of Akron, Ohio, before the House
commerce committee. Mr.. Sieberling
proposed that the Government lend
private corporations enough money
for planting at least one million acres
of rubber in the Philippines.
Not only is President Coolidge op-
posed to such plan, but he believes
that American manufacturers who
would be interested in developing
such a supply have adequate funds
of their own for the purpose.

People of Budapest Believe
"AWakening Hungarians"
Tried to Get Funds.
By the Associated Press.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, January g.
Eighteen arrests already have been
made and probably several others are
yet to be made of alleged participants
in the thirty billion franc counterfeit
ing plot. The Hungarian Telegraph
Agency announces that the INQUIRY
virtually has been concluded. with all
the essentials of the affairs knoWn
and further revelations not to be eX-
pected.
Gen. Jose Hajts. retired. former
head of the government map plant,
was placed under arrest after admia-
sions to the police by two employees
of the plant.
The impression in impartial circles
in Budapest is that the government
has acted vigorously throughout the
investigation of the counterfeitinG
party known as the Awakening Hun
garians" to fill the Golfers of their de-
pleted treasury in order to re-estab-
lisn their political prestige, which
they have been steadily losing since
1920.
The Awakening Hungarians" on
their part, deny any connection with
the forgeries, and the Hungarian
Telegraph Agency asserts that the
party will not be dissolved.

TRAFFIC TEST
SUCCESSFUL

The success Of the experiment In
removing the stanchions and per-
hitting north and south bound traf-
fic at Fifteenth Street and New
York Avenue Northwest, Ii as
sured, according to both Col. j. C..
MolIer and Major Edwin b. Hesse.
The experiment was first tried
out yesterday when, for. the first
time in eight years, the stanchions
were removed. Under the careful
scrutiny of the acting director Of
traffic and officials OF the Capital
Traction Company, automobile traf-
fic was allowed to cross the for.
hidden domain.
So successful was the experiment
that it Is now thought certainty
that 1t will remain open during the
noa-rush hours, although it may
be necessary to close 1t during the
hours OF heaviest traffic. Even
that may not be necessary, Moller
thinks.
