would leave a balance of $685., $50
under the first program. Certain saw
lngS through lower costs Of construction
and change of conditions since the
first program was drafted, DR.. Ballou
said, would total 1925 900. leaving a
net balance to be appropriated under
the first act of $5,030,750. This figure,
added to the $5,750,000 as estimated
cost of the program, furnishes. the
grand total of $10,780,750 needed for
the schools by June 80, 1885.
Some Items DebatabIe.
This figure COMEDIES with the state
ment of DR.. Charles F. Carusi, School
Board president, at the conference a
week ago between the school authorities
and citizen group representatives, to the
effect that $15,000,000 would be required
to bring the local school system up to
date. DR.. CaruSi declared then, how
ever, that since many of the items
which made up the $15,000,000 total
were "debatable," any one who knows
anything about the situation knows
that at least two-thirdS of that total
represents minimum of actual and
pressing needs"
The second five-year building pro-
gram includes, in brief, 7 additional
elementary school sites, 16 elementary
school buildings, 2 junior high school
sites, 2 junior high school buildings, S
junior high school building additions,
3 senior high school sites and building
additions to an already existing senior
high school In addition to these items,
the program includes number of play
ground sites and several parcels of land
for additional construction at present
elementary school buildings.
While the items as whole are located
in widely separated regions of the Dis
trict, the greatest efforts to obtain re-
lief appeared to be in the first division,
which embraces the Chevy Chase area.
This school division alone would receive
four new elementary school buildings
and sites for two such structures.

ton seeks to have presented to the
present session of Congress, so that it

TQDEYS SP0RI0RIAL
BY Kirk Miller

Even did the baseball bugs
give q mustard seed about of
fetal family quarrels within
the great Giants household, it
wouidn't take them. long to side
against q former club official
who, in view Of the teams
present position in the race,
would make q statement like
the Hogan Welsh Hornsby testi-
mony. Hornsby nor any other
one man in baseball, is going
to make or break a team. no
matter what motive is behind
his being sent hence.
When the most notorious
trade in present or former base
ball history was made last vim
ter, the calamity howlers were
sure the fans would stay away
from the Polo Grounds in
droves ere the 1928 season was
very old.
\ It is about a month. DID,. and
before the Giants moved west
ward last week, nothing had
kept the fans out of the Polo
Grounds except a few cold
days and q couple of rainy
ones. A winning team packs
'em in, and a losing team keeps
'em out; but neither the re-
lease of a Hornsby nor even q.
Judge McQuade himself would
keep your average cash Gus
toner away, if his team is up
there in the fight, making a
battle of it.
That is the history of base
ball. individuals merge in the
game itself. 1t is the con-
quest which counts. Backyard
SANDER has tried to attack the
game on a couple of occasions,
but each season finds increas-
ing audiences and wherever
there's a fight in prospect,
you'll find plenty Of specta-
tors. The mud singers, the
doubters, the scandal mongers
and the disgruntled might as
well tell their tune to the
kitchen rain spout, for their
story can't be heard above the
din that follows a sharp line
drive when the runs come trick
ling in.

Sam Gray and Milton CASTOR
started in the box. Gray was sadly

from his position in the fourth.
After him came Marberry, Zachary

The Griffs grabbed the lead in

session the visitors wiped that out

O'Rourke walked. Manusn combed
the right field wall with triple
and Schultz followed with a double

1t was exit for CASTOR in the
fourth, with three more runs for
the Browns. A single for Blue and
a pass to Brannon became two
runs on McNeely's triple. Out went
the smiling CASTOR, his smile not
exactly in evidence. O'Rourke
greeted Marberry with q single,
bringing McNeely over.
But the Griffs still had q
