PORTABLE CLOSED;
STUDENTS SHIFTED
Fl in KaImia Road Building
Are Transferred-Some Go
to Takoma School.

One of the two portable school houses
at Sixteenth street and Kalmia road
has been ordered closed and its 81
pupils ordered transferred to an adjoin-
ing building and the Takoma School
approximately mile away. .
Six Of the children, those in the
fourth grade, were sent to the Takoma
building and this morning three OF
them had entered and the others are
expected in class tomorrow morning
The remaining is pupils were installed
IN the adjoining portable, under Miss
K. E. Kirk, teacher.
When the transfer first was ordered
yesterday, there was a suggestion OF
opposition on the part of the parents,
who objected to sending their children
as far away as the Takoma School
When confronted with the statement OF
the situation as seen by the school off,
Gals, however, the transfer was ac-
cepted.
AS explained today by the school au-
thorities, the beginning of the new
semester last week found only IL boys
and girls In one Of the portables and
81 In the other. After waiting a week
for the enrolment In the IL group port
able to increase, authorities ordered the
transfer of is pupils to that school SO
that the teacher there now has a class
OF ~ children ranging from the first
through the high third grade.
This group of portables Is the unit
which Representative Simmons OF
Nebraska, chairman Of the subcommit-
tee on appropriations, has cited as an
example Of proposed school construc-
ton, where the pupil population does not
warrant permanent school buildings. He
criticized the school authorities for ask
ing for an appropriation for a per-
manent building while only 81 chill
dren attend the two portables which
are there now" (the nov" referring
to last semeSter's enrollment). School
authorities In turn have explained that
the enrolment in the Kalmia road port
ables is small because parents are re-
fusing to send their children to portable
schools.

TAKOMA CITIZENS
GROUPS MAY UNITE
Shoemaker Breaches Subject in
Address While Guest
at Meeting.

The reunion Of the Citizens Asso-
citation Of Takoma, D. c., and the
Takoma Park Citizens Association
may be brought about as the result of
q discussion of the situation at a meet
ing OF the latter association last night
In the Takoma Park branch of the
washington Public Library, Fifth and
Cedar streets.
Just as President John Walker was
about to adjourn the meeting last night
Dr.. ID. N. Shoemaker, president of the
CITIZENS Association Of Takoma, d. c.,
who was a guest Of the association, adj
dressed the meeting on the ACCESSIBILITY
OF continuing two organizations when
one large association could accomplish
better results.
About two years ago a number of
members OF the Takoma Park Citizens
Association withdrew from the aSsocia-
lion ana formed what Is known as the
Cltlzens' Association Of Takoma, D. G.
In the former association are men,
pers who are residents of the District
ana Maryland, while the latter aSso-
citation Is composed entirely of Dis
trict residents.
On more than one occasion Mary
land members outvoted the District
members on matters ~ importance to
those residing within the District con-
IneS OF Takoma Park and the fOrma-
ton OF the new organization was the
result. In the Citizens Association of
Takoma, D. c., however, are a num-
Der OF members who never belonged
to the Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation.
The association adopted a resolution
presented by Secretary Chester c. wa
ters extending congratulations to the
Takoma Players, who recently staged
The Valiant" for charitable purposes
and were awarded second prize in the
competition among the amateur PLAYERS
OF the National Capital. The play was
directed by DR.. Z. Clyde Shade of
Takoma Park.
Mrs. r. G. Hardin spoke on the ac-
tivities of the Community Center Of
Takoma Park. The association adopted
q resolution urging Congress to restore
$4,000 to the budget for community

Laundry EmplOye
Sends Stolen Goods
Back to Be Cleaned
Judge Draws Gill;" Call
ing for 800 Days
and 1925 Fine.

Imagine the nerve of James A. Harris,
colored, who, after taking $1s7 worth
OF property from the Ambassador
Laundry, 1925 Irving street, used some
OF the goods and sent them to the
owners to be laundered.
It was indeed q faux pas and it all
ended badly for Harris when authori-
ties at the cleaning establishment rec
ogntzed two sheets as being some Of the
stolen property.
Consequently, the man was brought
into Police Court on a number of
charges, where he admitted all.
This list includes 81 handkerchief"
said Judge John P. Mcmahon, scan
ming q paper before him. What in
the world did you do with all of them?"
Harris sneezed twice in rapid sue
ceSsion.
IT have such a-a-ah-herchoo, terrible
cold, judge, your honor" begged the
man.
'Well, suppose you serve $50 days on
the first two counts. On the next three
serve 1875 days or pay $685." said his
honor.
Harris had been employed at the
laundry for several months and said
that he had been taking things from
his employers almost the whole time he
had been with them. The handker-
chiefs were a recent acquisition.

ME Cincinnati Reds have
developed quite a punch at
home, but it is strangely
lacking when they take the
road,
Last week they looked like
team of world beaterS at Redland
Field, taking four straight games
from Chicago They still looked
good as they picked on the hum
BILE Phillies for three more VIC
tories, but yesterday, when they
moved to New York, they lost,
8 to 5.
They drove out a few runs to lead
fc- while, then subsidized when faced
by Joe Heving, while the Giants started
there and scored most of their runs in
the last half of the game. This result
left the Reds with 10 victories on the
road and "a at home.
Braves Take Two.
The Cubs moved to Boston yesterday
and lost two games to the Braves, 2 to
and 8 to 0. The first Boston victory
was due to Harry 'Seibolds pitching.
the second to the Massac husetts law
which makes it necessary to stop Sun
day games promptly at o'clock That
hour came after the Cubs had scored
four runs in the ninth, but before that
inning ended, and the score reverted
to the eighth.
Chicago's double defeat came as
something of a boon to the league
leading Brooklyn Robins. They lost
one of the years toughest decisions to
| Pittsburgh, ! to 0, but still gained a
half game. Jim Elliott gave the Pr
rates only four hits while the Robins
made nine off Larry French, but wasted
their opportunities by slipshod base
running.

BY FRANCIS f. STAN.

THOSE Takoma Tigers, up until
yesterday, were known as a
gambling team. But after the
twin-bill with the Kensington
Firemen they were just smart team
that makes sound investments.
For those fans who enjoy humorous
angle to their base ball, that double
header between the Tigers and The
Kensington Firemen in which the Tigers
annexed both games and commanding
lead in the Montgomery County section
of the Capital City League, took the
cake.
The Tigers were supposed to have
taken a chance" when they agreed to
meet the hook and-ladder men in two
games, but before the afternoon was
half over, the only chance they took
was that of not getting home before
bedtime. The score of the first game
was 20 to 5. Nuf said.
And the score of the second should
and would have been 'nuf said" mad
it not been for a piece OF strategy on
the part of Manager Sauerweine which
left sour taste in the mouths of the
faithful who remained until the orgy
was ended. At the end of the eighth,
the score was just 30 to 8, so Sauerweine
started riding Umpire Mooney for not
giving them the alleged square deal"
A square deal with the score stand
ing 80 to and more promising to
come!
How Score Was Shrunk.
Anyhow, imp Mooney delivered the
ultimatum and Manager Sauerweine,
refusing to remove himself from the
Silver Spring Park, took his team off
the field. loser by only 8 to 0, the for
felt score. When the umpire announced
this score. even the most ardent Tiger
rooter could hardly help but feel that
Kensington won something, anyway.
Perhaps a moral victory.
The game must have set some kind
of a modern sandlot record, for scoring
for total of so runs in two games is
not to be sneeZed at. But Sauerweine,
the merlin of KenSington, proved that
there are ways and ways of getting
around embarrassing things like that.
AS to the games themselves, Horace
Duffy coasted along in the opener for
the Tigers, while Lefty Davidson and
James share the second. Doc Hessler
socked a triple and home run in the
first inning of the nightcap, when the
side batted around with plenty to spare.
Later in the game he got another homer
and a triple. And the three out of four
in the first made quite a fat batting
average.
