Wesley is perhaps the most famous
of the family at present. In his first
full year with the Cleveland Indians
he won 81 games and the late Miller
Higgins called him the best pitching
prospect in many years.
Richard is q catcher with the st.
Louis Browns, and when he was with
Columbus in the American Association
there were many scouts who rated him
as the best minor league backstop since
Mickey Cochrane came out of the bushes
to star for Connie Mack. George, the
Oldest of the brothers, is an outfiefder
in the Southern Association, but has yet
to intrigue any major league owner into
paying money for his services.
The fourth brother is Marvin, OF
high-school age, and one of the pitch
ers at the Oak Ridge, N. c., Academy.
Like Wesley, he is a big Highlander
and is showing enough stuff to warrant
the belief that he will follow the foot
steps of his kinsmen.
Oak Ridge Academy saw both Wesley
and Rick start on their base ball ca
reers Yves went from school to the
Independent Blackstone Valley League
in Massachusetts,, and while there at
tracted Bill Rapp, an Indian scout
E. S. Barnard, then president of the
Cleveland club, planked down some good
money to get the youngster.
Richard did not get much work with
the st. Louis Browns last season, but
with Wallie Schang gone it is believed
that Bill Killefer soon will have the
young man doing the bulk of the re-
ceiving. Terrell is fast, has fine arm
and was real hitter in the association

HAGERSTOWN, Md, J:;ne 14.-Hold-
ing that the State law II 1898 prohibit
ing bookmaking on horse racing in
Maryland is not applicable to WASH
ington County, the Maryland Court of
Appeals reversed Judge Frank @. Waga-
man of the Washington County Court in
the appeal of Charles E. O'Connell. The
opinion was written by Judge Adkins
and was diSsented to by Judge Urner.
The Court Of Appeals ruling means
that there is no State or local law now
in force which prohibits bookmaking
in this county.
O'Connell and Harry higgins were in
dicted in February for bookmaking. At
their trial defense counsel demurred
The men were convicted, however, on
the count which charged them with re-
reiving or becoming depositors Of funds

The attorneys held that the 1898 law
specifically eXempts Washington, Cecil
and Anne Arundel Counties. Judge
Wagaman overruled the demurrer to
this contention, but the Court of Ap-
peals held that the local court should
have sustained the demurrer.
- It is understood that Cecil and Anne
Arundel Counties have local laws which
prohibit bookmaking, but that Wash

fined $400 and costs. Their conviction

CONVICTED TWICE

Charges in Police Court.
BY a staff Correspondent of The Star.


UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June IA
Elmer Maske Of Greater Capitol Heights
was convicted of reckless driving for
the second time in two weeks by Judge
j. Chew Sheriff in Police Court yes
terday.
The second conviction was the result
of Maskes driving an automobile into
a house on the Marlboro pike near
Crystal Springs avenue last October.
The court imposed fine of only IS
in that case, however, having fined the
man 5000 and sentenced him to three
months in the House Of Correction last
week for reckless driving and two other
trafic offenses resulting from another
collision in which two persons were
hurt.
James Brooks, colored. of Silver Hill,
was fined $40 for permitting an auto
mobile to be operated on an instructors
license. Brooks and Donald Pinkney,
also colored, are awaiting the action of
the grand jury on charges of man
slaughter lodged against them after an
inquest into the death of William C..
Clifton of Silver Hill.
According to Constable A. c. Thomp-
son, Clinton was killed by car driven
by Pinkney and owned by Brooks. The
accident occurred as Clifton was walk
ing along the State highway near his
home. The traffic charge against Brooks
was preferred by State Policeman

Mrs. Florence (. Cannon, Ar

Supervisors Action.
~ BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
q !. star Correspondent Of The Star.

ARLINGTON, Va, June 14.-Mrs
Florence e. Cannon, president of the
Arlington Citizens Association and the
representative of both the Arlington
County Civic Federation and Organized
League of Women Voters of Arlington
County in the oil plant fight, believes
that the Board of County Supervisors
did not reflect the wishes of the people
when they granted the permit for the
Sun Oil Co. plant over the majority
resolution Of the Zoning Commission.
The board acted arbitrarily in this
matter" Mrs. Cannon said today, for
certainly four such organizations as the
Organized Women Voters. Civic Fed
Grafton, Chamber of Commerce and
Zoning Commission must reflect the
wishes of the majority. covering as they
do the greater part OF the county in
representation"
No Beneflt in Oil Plants.
The Civic Federation, Mrs Cannon
pointed out, is made up of delegates
from nearly ell of the civic organiza-
tions in the county, hence action by
this body must reflect the desires of
the greater number of citizens asSo-
Citations and similar organizations. The
Zoning Commission. incidentally, was
an official body, but did not vote unani-
mously against the permit, the vote
being three against and two for.
Maryland as a State and the nearby
sections to Washington as representing
local interest have co-operated with
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission in all of its endeavors
for the Maryland part of Greater
Washington, Mrs. Cannon said, while
the governing body of Arlington County
has never in any way evidenced its
willingness to participate in plans that
must eventually be of great benefit to
this section.
Economically, Mrs. Cannon thinks,
none of the oil plants now operating in
the county has been of any benefit
Returns for the year 1928 showed that
the six big oil companies maintaining
storage and distribution plants in the
county paid a total of only $8.973 66 in
taxes, as against a total levy of $725,-
498.47 for the entire county This
amount, she thinks, is so small in pro-
portion as to show that they are not
paying proposition and that the de-
velopment of the land used by them
In home building would be much more
rernunerative.
Create Unhealthy Atmosphere.
Mrs. Cannon believes that not only
is Arlington County particularly not
fitted for heavy industrial development,
but that this form of development in
any community must create an atmos-
phere that is unhealthy, both finan-
cially and for the welfare of the
citizens.
