H|LLDALE GRAY.
STARS SHINE

That the Philadelphia Hilldales,
who play the Championship Pitts
burgh Homestead Grays Sunday
at 2:3O at Clark Griffith Sta
dium, are serious contenders for
the colored professional title, is
admitted in baseball circles.
The Hilldale balanced infield
OF Eggie ballard, Rev Cannady,
Billy Yancey and Judy johnson
has been clicking like a clock and
Rap Dixon, CLANCY White and
Martin Power House" Dinigo are
trio of outfielders who rank
with the best.
Biz Mackey behind the pan is
the last word as a competent re-
ceiver who has it in all depart
ments including the best throw
ing arm to be found in many
moons. Last Sunday he knocked
a home run here.
AS for. pitchers the Hilldale
staff can serve them up nigh,
wide and handsome. from the
capable arms of Oscer Lewis. Por-
ter Charleston, Phil Cockrell,
Obie Layton and Paul Carter.
However, the Daisies have
their work cut out to battle
the Grays. Josh Gibson, the
big yOungSter who chased Buck
Ewing out of a job is the best
young catcher to break into the
game in recent years.
The redoubtable Oscar Charles
ton at first, George Scales at
second, Jake Stevens at short,
and Judson Wilson, the Washing
ton boy at third, form the inner
works.
Charleston is known wherever
the colored pros play and is one
of the greatest hitterS that the
game has produced.
Jake Stevens is speed itself in
the shortfield and more flashy
player than Jake has never shown
his wares in washington.
Jud Wilson, who for years
played with the Baltimore
Black SOx, hits all kind of
pitching to the far corners, and
George Scales is plugging con-
sistently and a timely hitter.
With an outfield composed OF
Vic Harris Pittsburgh boy who
grew up with the Grays, Ambrose
Reid, former Bacharach Giants
star and Roy Evans. Manager
Posey don't have to worry about
the drives and flys that go beyond
the infield.

POTOMAC NET
TEAM FACES
MONTROSE
BY GINO SINH

A steaming hot dish of tennis
viii be ladled out in the Public
Parks Tennis League tomorrow
when Montrose Park goes after
the league leaders, Potomac Park.
The results are a toss up, for
both teams glitter with high class
talent. Each is loaded with lead
ing District netmen.
Dooly Mitchell, No. 2 ranking
in the District last year, and well
on his way to No. this year, is
the Montrose ace. Backing him
are Anthony Latona, crack young
ster; Bill Buchanan, cagey vet
eran, and Lieut.. Jimmy HeiSkell.
who has handed in fine work
in the current Army tournament.
Look to Elliott
Potomac's hopes rest heavily on
Bob Elliott, the transplanted Bal
timorean, aided and abetted by
Lieut.. Dave Hedekin, seeded No.
2 in the Army tournament, and
Gene Herman, whose game has
improved since he raised a nous,
tache.
Maurice O'NeilI, former Dis
trict champion, and the city's
leading sOuthpaw player, and
Hugh Trigg and GOubeau, COM
plete the team. O'Neil is cap
tain Of the team.
Last week Henry Park handed
Montrose a 6-3 setback, the sec,
ondary men of the Sixth Street,
ers proving superior to the West
enders, especially in the doubles
the deciding factor.
Bill Buchanan, captain of the
Montrose aggregation, did not use
Mitchell in the doubles, and this
can be partly blamed for the
defeat. While the Montrose No
/ doubles won, with Mitchell in
line. either Latona or Buchanan
could have strengthened the sec
ond team, and stood a better
chance of winning.
Henry Has 1t Easy
Taft is not expected to offer
Henry Park much opposition
despite its fine stand against Rock
Creek last Saturday.
Kay Blanchard may hand
Bob ConSidine, District cham
piOn, a "narStey" surprise, for
Bob is decidedly off his game,
while Blanchard is very much
on. 1t is possible, but not prob

SAFETY COUNCIL
ON AUTOSAFETY
Combined from Fira Pdgcl

is the driver who makes sudden
changes of direction or reduction of
speed without regard to the posi-
tion of vehicles that are following
him and without giving any signal
as to his movements.
Parking and stopping restrictions
have undergone many drastic
changes. Demands for parking
spaces have increased proportionate-
ly with the automobile but the ac-
tual street space available is no
greater, if it is not actually less,
because of necessary restrictions.
The problem then is to make the
most effective use of the space that
is available by providing rapid turn
over in the occupancy of this space
by parked vehicles. An automobile
parked for ten hours in one place
will monOpolize space that could be
used by Is or more cars that would
normally park for less than one
hour. Hence time restrictions when
they are adequately enforced multi
ply the usefulness of a given park
ing area in the city many times. Do
readily accessible parking spaces
have any association with automo-
bile safety and the reduction of ac-
cidents? They most assuredly have.
The exercise of kindness to others.
consideration and true courtesy will
prevent an operator from getting a
wrong attitude of mind for driving
in traffic. An operator who loses his
temper, who becomes sulky, or is
abnormal from any of many differ
ent causes, is unfit to drive because
his vehicle provides a medium of
expression for his personality. If
that personality is upset he is bound
to make trouble for himself or for
others, generally for both. Observe
the Golden Always be Con-
siderate of Others"
