MAN |SFREED

Pleading that he had been
struck in the face by Town Po-
nceman Mack Brown, of Brent
wood, Joseph E. Robey, taxidriver,
OF 416 H st. N. E., was acquitted
in Hyattsville Police Court Of
charges of driving while drunk
and reckless driving.
Judge j. Chew Sheriff accepted
Robey's statement that his al
legged conduct in the office of
Justice of the Peace Isaac d.
Arnold was caused by his anger
after Brown struck him with his
fist and not by intoxication.
States Attorney Alan Bowie
and Chief Deputy Sheriff Thomas
A. Garrison had an argument
whether Jailer L. H Watts had
any authority to take prisoners
from the cellrooms to use the tel
ephone in the Hyattsville court
house
The argument followed testi-
mony by Watts that Robey's
cheek was bleeding when he was
brought to the Hyattsville jail,
and that he was no. drunk. Watts
said he had taken Robey to the
telephone. The States attorney
said Watts was paid by the
county commiSsi as a guard
and had no power to take prison
ers from the cells.

woman had challenged mans
supremacy in a yacht race from

TRAILING
IN STR|KEOUTS

Due to an injured foot that
kept him out of harness for a
month earlier in the season, Lefty
Grove is likely to lose his crown
as strike-out king of the majors
this season.
Although the lanky southpaw
of the AS intends to do extra
mound work to make up for lost
time. he has less than four
weeks in which to increase his
strike-out total. The big league
leaders in that speciality are Char
ley Ruffing and Vernon Gomez Of
the Yankees with 174 and 1866 re-
spectively. Grove is third with
1862.
TwO-Time ChiSOx
Ruffing and Gomez increased
their totals yesterday as the
Yanks two-timed the White Sox,
10 to 3 and to 8. Gomez struck
out only two batters in winning
the opener, while Ruffing whitfield
five in annexing the nightcap.
Gomez became the first big
league hurler to win % games
this season.
Incidentally. the Yanks COM
pleted their 129th game Of the
season without getting white
washed, surprising the record
they set in 1927 by going 1913
games before being blanked at
the hands of Grove.
YankS Stretch Lead
New York's lead in the Ameri-
can League race was increased
to 1112 games. as the AS were
nosed out in the ninth by De-
troit, 10 to 7, after George Earn
shaw had held the Tigers to five
hits and won the first game Of
the double bill, 8 to 3.
McNaughton and Rhodes Of the
Red Sox held Cleveland to five
hits, but issued IL passes and
Cleveland won 6 to 3. Averill Of
the Indians walked five times
and scored three runs despite the
fact that he made no hits and
was not charged with a single
time at bat.

MANY ALUMNI
PRAISE NEW
+ POLICY
By HARRY COSTELLO

BY HARRY COSIELLO
Georgetown University's alumni
and friends appear mystified by
recent moves in relation to ath'
letics at the Hilltop.
There is nothing particularly
mysterious about the moves made
Indeed. if all persons thoroughly
understood all conditions existing
in the field of intercollegiate com
petition. Georgetown's moves
would be hailed as simple and
logical.
It is plain that Georgetown
academic officers are determined
to place intercollegiate sport at
the Hilltop in such a position that
1t will achieve commendable pur-
pose in its proper educational
sphere.
Realize Course
Those same academic officers
realize full we'll that in the course
Of a rapid growth intercollegiate
competition has accumulated evils
which threaten to overburden
sport to such an extent that those
evils, unchecked, must take so
much away from competitions
that intercollegiate sport must lose
its useful identity.
Educational history teaches us
that success in raising standards
or the level in the principles or
conduct of educational activities
is attained solely through joint
action of all parties concerned.
It seems only sensible to assume
that Georgetown academic Off
cialS anticipate a more or less
general acceptance throughout
the intercollegiate world of better
standards and a higher level in
the principles and conduct of
intercollegiate sport.
In manner of speaking,
Georgetown is setting the fashion
in intercollegiate sport, albeit a
few other universities, notably
the University of Virginia, have
already invoked plans similar in
every respect to the one now
launched by the Hilltoppers.
Hail With Delight
Good food and old wine can
not be appreciated by young pal
ates. Older Georgetown alumni
will hail with delight George
towns present plan. for this plan
gives every indication of meaning
a resumption of relations with
old friends, thus assuring George
town of colorful, historic and
traditionally desirable athletic
contests.
It is entirely probable that
period of at least two years will
be required to prove the wisdom
Of Hoya academic officials who
are today charged with the duty
of launching the plan and seeing
that it functions properly.

 Dear Sir
 Certain Amendments intro GIced by MT. Welsh of Cali f0rnia, killed in the last Con- gress, reintroduced in this seS- sion in a different form, recom- nlended and placed on the Calendar by the Committee on Fisheries, has been sent to me and l have looked over carefully the proposed legislation.
 As you have probably seen by this time one section provides in particular that no fish caught ioutside the limits of the juris- diction of the United Stat t2S shall be brought into the United States, or to Alaska, during any closed season.
 The other section provides that anyone intending to oper- ate a floating cannery must first report to. the Secretary of Con- merce not later than Dec. 1, pre- Ceding the year in which the cannery is to be operated, nor shall such cannery operate in more than one location.
 Several leaders in the A. N. B. have written to me about the eill and Hon. James Wickersnanl las sent copies of the bill. The kill as Worded is simple enough And I would oppose both of these amendments on these and ether grounds that become plain 10 anyone caring to study tie Gill
 The new section lsec. 9 while appearing to have equal provi- Sions for all canneries would freeze out the smaller inde- pendent ones by forcing them to operate in one place during the season. Larger companies arrive at the same result as moving the floaterS by having canneriCs strung all along the coast of Alaska and having a large fleet of seiners and traps located at choice points.
 As soon as one section closes the Seiners are sent to the open area to fish and then deliver the load to the nearest cannery be longing to the same company. The seiners are by the terms of contract bound to sell to no ether company as a rule, SD that when there is a large run of salmon and a chance to make some money, a limit is imme-
