CITIZENS CONSENT
TO |NCENERiTOR
Georgetown Association Re-
solves Not to Oppose Trash
Burner Location.

| A resolution not to oppose the cree
ton of an incinerator plant in George
town provided it is used exclusively for
disposing of trash and not for burning
garbage was adopted by the George
town Citizens Association at meeting
in the Potomac Savings Bank last night
following an address on the Districts
incinerator projects by Maj. Donald A.
Dawson, assistant engineer ccmmis-
| Sioner.
Mai. Dawson declared the proposed
plant, which would be located near the
| foot of Forty-fourth street, would not be
noticeable or Objectionable to citizens
living nearby, emphasizing that there
would be absolutely no unpleasant odor
from it,
The incinerator plant in Georgetown,
Maj. Dawson explained, is one of two
proposed incinerators to be built in the
District at cost of about $750,000
The other plant would be located at
Fourteenth and Water streets south
west. The plants would be of sufficient
capacity, Maj. Dawson stated, to take
care of twice as much trash as is now
handled in the District and would auto
matically do away with the Montello
avenue trash plant and trash stables
adjacent to it.
The association adopted resolution
approving the proposed erection of a
$5,000,000 Roosevelt Memorial Stadium
as sponsored by the Washington Board
of Trade.
A resolution also was adopted ex-
pressing the diSapproval of the asso-
cation at the location of any such place
as the House of Detention in "a good
residential area" The latter motion
was adopted following the reading of a
communication from citizens of south
west Washington. Direct reference to
the present location of the House of
Detention in the southwest was avoided
in the resolution upon the suggestion of
several members of the association
A resolution regarding a request for
an appropriation of 100000 for new
Business High School to be located at
Thirteenth and UpShur streets was
referred to the committee on schools.
An address on the proposed appropria-
ton was made earlier in the meeting
by James T. Wilkes of the Business
High School Alumni Association.
The executive committee reported be-
fore the association that it has sent
recommendation to the Board of Edu-
cation requesting the purchase of sites
to serve as Fairgrounds for the Curtis,
Addison and Hyde Schools and a re-
quest for an addition to the Fillmore
School.
Crotch James, John Paul Jones and
John I. LANCER were elected new mem
bers of the association. Isaac B.
Nordlinger. president, presided.

By HERBERT W. BARKER,

1t would seem TO he an unbiased
observer that Jack Scott has been
around baseball long enough to know
that old ICY" Williams is poison in
his wi back yard.
Jack apparently forgot all about
~Cy's" reputation at Philadelphia
yesterday, and so the New York
Giants lost a golden opportunity TO
shave n full game off the National
league lead Of the St. Louis Card
inals.
1t was like this:
The Giants had rudely bumped
Jimmy Ring and and the Phils into
somewhat ignormin;ous defeat in the
first game Of a double header, 8 to 4.
and were leading z to 6 in the second
when Scott. reclaimed from Toledo.

inning against the tail-enders. He
rot rid Of Thompson but Klein
singled. Leach was retired on a pop
fly and il appeared the game was
over.
Enter Mr.. Williams, waving a bat
menacingly. Jack served n down
Cy's "alley' and the old-timer clouted
il over his favorite right field wall,
scoring behind Klein and pulling the
game out Of the fire, ) TO z.
Pittsburgh was defeated by Chi
cage, 8 10 8, when Hargreaves' threw
wild in an attempted double play in
the ninth inning. The Pirates dropped
back into fifth place, a point behind
the Cincinnati Reds who, with the
Cardinals. had a day of ~idleness.
Brooklyn took both ends OF a
double header with the Boston
Braves, 3 to 2 in 10 innings. and ? to
.. Flowers homer gave Vance his
9th victory in the opener.
In the American league, the Ath-
Ietics trounced the Senator's 3 to 2.
Walherg was touched for 10 hits
but was supreme in the pinches.
The Chicago White Sox. taking
their second double header in as
many days from Detroit. stepped into
a fourth place tie with the Senators.
The score In each game was 2 to z
Hunnefield's single in the eleventh
gave the Sox the first game and u
ninth inning rally accounted for the
nightcap.
The St. Louis Browns punched hits
in three innings 10 down Cleveland,
