CANTRELL, S|M0NS
LOST TO GR|FFMEN
Declared Free Agents Due to
Teams Rules Violations.
Fines Also Imposed.

@HICAGO, March 16. - Four
major and five minor league
clubs were fined and nine play
~ ers declared free agents today
by Commissioner Lands in one
of the most drastic edicts issued since
he took office.
The clubs were assessed fines of $500
for infractionS of the major-minor
agreement regarding the transfer and
reserving of players. They are Wash
ington, ST. Louis and Philadelphia of
the American League; Pittsburgh of
the National; indianapolis and Mil
waukee of the American Association:
Baltimore of the International; Bir-
mingham of the Southern Association,
sd Columbia OF the South Atlantic
league.
Four Rig Leaguers Freed.
Four major league rockies. Ernest
Wingard of the Philadelphia Athletics,
Claude Jonnard of the ST Louis Browns
and Guy Cantrell and Melbern Simons
of Washington we're made free agents,
because of irregularities in connection
with their transfers. Wingard and
Jonnard we're leading hurlers with the
Milw aukee club of the American As
ISOLATION last year
Cantrell came up to the Washing
ton Senators after winning 20 and los
ing II games with the Baltimore club
of the International League. Commits
s:oner Lands ruled that Cantrell was
reserved by Washington and not by
Baltimore and hence was a free agent
because the inter-league agreement re-
quiries each club to file reserve list"
of all its players.
In investigating the Cantrell trans
action Lands discovered that Wash
ington's initial payment to Birmingham
for Melbern Simons was secretly re-
funded by the Southern Association
club last April, following the Senators
reserving and subsequently returning
the player to Birmingham. The trans
fer violated the rule forbidding ar
rangement between clubs for the loan
or transfer of player other than by
an approved optional agreement" ac-
cording to Commissioner Lands.
Griffs acted for Birmingham"
In acquiring the contracts of Charles
Glazaer and j. B. Partridge from
Mobile and Atlanta, respectively, Com
missioner Lands said Washington acted
for Birmingham. Money payments were
made by Birmingham to Washington,
which then issued checks to the two
clubs from which the players were pur-
chased Likewise the Commissioner
ruled Washington acted for Birming-
ham in purchasing the contract of
Ealph Judd from Peoria of the Three
Eye League In 1927.
Because Pittsburgh and Indianapolis
violated the agreement prohibiting the
covering" up of a player by one club
for another, Roy Spencer of Indianapolis
and Kyle Anderson of Columbia were
made free agents. Spencer formerly
wore Pittsburgh Pirate uniform.

PLAN Countrywide
HEARING ON coming
Commissioners Considering
All Districts Session Before
Submitting Report.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
staff Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON, Va, November a.
The Arlington County zoning Commits
sion is considering the holding of a
countrywide meeting on the tentative
coming ordinance before submitting it
to the Board of County Supervisors for
adoption, it was revealed last night
following public hearing on Arlington
precinct.
While definite plans for this meeting
have not yet been worked out, 1t was
said by Commissioner Robert H. For
man that it will probably be held at
the Westinghouse High School and
the supervisors will be invited to par
ticipate. 1t is believed that this gen.
eral hearing may result in clearing up
a number of points in question before
the ordinance is turned over to the
supervisors, thereby minimizing the
chances for controversy that might
crop up at the hearing the county gov
erning body is required by law to hold
before adopting the ordinance.
In Executive Session.
The commission is holding an execu<
tive session this afternoon at which it
will be finally decided whether the
countrywide session is practical. To-
night there will be a hearing on the
Cherrydale precinct.
Last nights meeting was conducted
by Forman, as acting chairman, and
Allen j. Saville, coming engineer. For
man gave a detailed account of the
tentative coming of the sections COM
priSing Arlington precinct, Penrose.
Arlington Heights, Bancroft. Glebewood,
Alcova Heights and Fort Berry.
There is no industrial area included
in this section, Forman stated. but there
is a general business section provided
for Arlington proper and local business
sections in Bancroft, Glebewood and
Fort Berry.
There also is a considerable area
zoned as Residential B, which per-
mits the erection of apartment houses
and semi-detached residences. This
area is confined to a large extent TO
the section Immediately adjacent to
Columbia pike and Glebe road. the two
principal thoroughfareS in this section
of the county.
In an explanation of the ordinance
Saville said that the only person who
suffers from the effects of coming Is
the real estate operator who sells his
land without due regard to the occu-
pants Oh tIle AREA III WAACAA AC AAoS bC
operating.
Two More Hearings.
There are but two more sectional
hearings scheduled by the commission,
the one tonight at Cherrydale and a
second hearing Monday night at the
Jefferson District Community Hall. The
latter hearing has been granted to give
the residents of Virginia Highlands ana
Aurora Hills an opportunity to express
themselves with respect to the estao-
lishment of a "heavy industrial" area
in the South Washington section. those
requesting the meeting having claimed
that they were not given sufficient OBJ
portunity at the original hearing 10
present their arguments.
Last nights hearing departed from
the usual routine, when residents OF
the community served refreshments
to the commission and those attending
the meeting.
