afternoon on the Hilltop diamond at

Maryland's alertness on the bases and
poor defensive work by Catcher Mort
Rosenberg cost the Mountaineers the

west Virginia pitcher, allowed only
seven hits while Steve Physioc and Bill
McIlwee were being nicked for 10. 1t

~ OLDIE AHEARN and his staff

were all a-grin today. They
finally had a wrestling show

1t rained for the eighth Boiling Field
mat carnival again yesterday, but that
didn't stop the patrons, who occupied
nearly every available seat in the in
closure And the wrestlers showed their
appreciation by putting up whopper
of a show.
Gus Sonnenberg, his college-boy ap-
pearance now definitely gone, polished
off the antiquated Bool Martin for the
first time since Mr.. Ahearn has been
operating at Boiling Field, but the fea-
ture, by comparison, was dull. The
prelininaries stole the show
One of the closest 1nfringementS on
downright sincerity seen in connection
with wrestling in this town was rem
dered when Sam Cordovano and Danny
Winters stepped out Of the ring after
battling to their second Commute draw
Every customer in the place was on his
feet applauding The ovation lasted
fully five minutes. Just as the whistle
blew. Winters was about to body slam
Cordovano for what might have been
the finishing shot.
The next best bet was another draw
this time with Marvin Westenberg and
Ivan Vacturoff as the principals The
Lee Wycoff-Bob Wilkie melee proved
pleasing, too.
Martin was no match for Sonnenberg
In the feature, though Gus wasn't i'm
pressive. Bool had nothing but harm

prestige, had to be combatted by in
experienced promoters. Cliques had
to be guarded against and care ex-
ercised in not allowing any one group
to dominate.
Baltimore, New York and Philadel-
phia groups made overtureS for control
of the club and were turned down. Of
fers were presented in which an Alex
andria man would be paid for the use
of his name. But, having originally
planned to stage the shows for the sole
benefit of the Day Nursery in that city
those in charge of the exhibitions never
lost their perspective.
With their mission almost accom-
pliShed, those in charge of the bouts
are going to stage one more shoW
after tonight and then say either du
revoir or 9ood-bu. 1t is possible that
q Summer of reflection may prompt
the boys again to promote merit Fah
But Tulloch, at the moment, is not
so sure.
It is hoped that the club again will
operate. Its shows have been the acme
of craftsmanship, splendid fighting and
businesslike handling. For it to turn
over its prestige, its standards, to others
might be a mistake. If benefit boxing
is to continue in Alexandria next Fall
then the present group now staging it
should return-for the sake of the sport
But IL the Alexandria boys decide
to stay down, they will pass from the
game having done as much to
cleanse, uphold an honest standard
and create interest in decent boxing
as any group that ever has promoted
the sport.
Alexandria has blazed a splendid
boxing trail-only failure will come tC
those promoters in this section who fail
to follow that path.

TINE OF THE BIRDS

In the Biblical Song of Solomon,
when the sacred writer wished to
express the most characteristic fea-
ture of the spring season, he said:
The time of the singing of birds is
come,
And the voice of the turtle dove is
heard in our land.
About $500 years have rolled away
into the darkness of history since
those words were written, and the
human society of today is only re-
motely like that ancient civilization.
But the singing of the birds, the lift
it gives to the baffied heart of man,
is just the same as it was in those
days, and no machinery of modern
civilization has marred its sweet
ness.
1t is difficult to believe that the
world is as sour as our cynics tell
us, when those melodious notes from
the tree top tell us that all is we'll.
Those merry little songsters are our
best friends. All their enemies,
from the predatory pot hunter who
would convert them into pie, down to
old Pussy with her evil eye, should
be warned not to touch them on
peril of severe penalties.
Milford chronicle., 1932-04-15
BUYING POWER

Why has the revival of business
come more slowly than people ex-
pected? One reason is the existence
of unreasoning fear, which leads
people to delay making purchases
that are within their means.
Still, the man who has no money
coming in, can't pay any out, unless
someone gives it to him. The farm
Ell who can't sell his crops for more
than cost of production, is a slow
buyer. So in our rich country,
where we have developed a power of
production the goods thus produced,
lags behind. If people can't buy
goods, the goods can't be sold.
Our country must see to it, that the
power to consume goods keeps up
with the power to produce them.
Business must pay as good wages as
it can afford. But wage-earners will
queer their jobs, if they demand
wages which make goods and serv-
ices cost so high that the people
can't afford to buy them.
Many corporations in past years
heaped up the money so fast, they
paid such fat dividends and hand
some bonuses and distributed such
juicy melons, that too much wealth
concentrated in few hands. That
took too much buying power out of
the hands of the people. The country
went on producing more goods than
the people could buy. 1t was newt
able that business should go slow,
until consumption could catch up
with excessive production.
Business is entitled to a reason
able profit. If it does not get it, peo-
pie have no incentive to engage in
and there is no motive why
they should employ labor. There is
such thing as squeezing capital SO
hard, that all the juice is. squeezed
lut.
Fairness and justice, considera-
ion for the other fellow, the re-
solve that every element shall get its
iair share of our wonderful progress,
will create the correct balance be-
.ween production and consumption.

THE DIME NOVEL AGE

Do you remember "The Bloody
Butchers Bride" or "The Demon of
Dandelion Den," and other gorgeous
thrillers of your youth? Perhaps
your thought turned back to those
days, when the newspapers spoke of
publishers who will reprint popular
novels and classics for 10 cents.
Blessings be on every publisher who
takes a good book, and brings it to
you for a dime. He should not ex-
clude the older works from his list,
merely because they lack the latest
Broadway slang.
The thought of dime novels takes
us back to the golden days of youth
Remember those bad boys on the
back seat, who used to unfold the big
size geography books of those times,
and prop them up on their desks in
the attitude of industrious study?
And of how proud teacher looked on

troublesome rebels so serious and
But, o Boy, do you remember the
breathless thrillers concealed behind
those virtuous text books? How the
walls of the schoolhouse faded from

robbers and warriors, through their
grisly careers!
Or do you remember that oft Occu-

THE AMERICAN BACK YARD

The worst feature of two thirds of
American towns, is their disorderly
back yards. The majority of people
keep the fronts of their home places
fairly clean, but they cherish the
idea that no one will notice it if
their back yards are a mess of rub
bish, ash heaps, tumble down little
chicken coops or other structures.
Progressive people take pride in
their home towns, and admire the
energy and spirit of their towns
people. But it is enough to make
them sick TO see many of these dis
orderly home places. The rear of
dwelling is nearly as visible as its
front, and the family with clean
looking front yard and tousled
back one, looks like a man wearing
a silk hat and dress coat, with rag
ged trousers and shoes through the
holes of which his toes are protrud-
ing.

STRAIN ON THE STATESMEN

The public often ieers at Congress,
Another angle on their service is
given by DR.. Calver, physician to
the house of representatives, who
warns these legislators not to let
themselves break down under the
nervous excitement of an extraordi-
nary session.
If the tourist looks in at the halls
of Congress, lie may think no work
is being done, since so few members
are usually present. But if he would
hunt them all down, he would find
them hustling around to obtain jobs
for constituents, satisfying conflict
ing demands. placating excitable
people, settling political rivalries and
guarrels, attending hearings, inter-
viewing delegations, entertaining
visitors, and so OIL indefinitely.
The American people demand that
their congressman become errand
boys for innumerable items of busi-
ness. Then if the legislators find no
time to study the big problems of
legislation, people wonder why mis-
takes are made.

COMBINED ACTION

The Development of community
does not depend upon its size, its
wealth. it's favorable circumstances
and situation. 1t depends mostly on
whether it is possible to get combin-
ed action. When any need for ac-
tion occurs, do the people just sit
around and talk about il?
Or do some of them get busy and
organize a movement to do some
thing? Is there some organization
always seeking to fulfill such needs,
and which in any such occasion will
have some officer or committee work.
