RIGHT Of WAY IS
SOUGHT FOR
POWER LINE
Susquehanna Interests Plan
to Bring Electricity to
Prince Georges

Right of way for a new
power line from Elkridge, Nd,
through Howard and Prince
Georges counties to Washing
ton, is being sought by the
Susquehanna Transportation
Company, it was learned to-
day.
r. L. Bortner, traffic manager
for the Pennsylvania Water and
Power Company, whose system
the new line will tap at Elk
ridge, has been in the territory
for several weeks, buying options
and arranging leases for the
right of way.
Would Reduce Values
Residents of the more densely
populated sections are said TO be
averSe to allowing the tranSpor-
tation company to lay its line
through their property. They
contend that the erection of line
towers and the breaking up of
their land will reduce its value
for future real estate develop
ment.
Particular difficulty has been
encountered by the transporta-
ton company in Takoma Park,
through which the line would
pass.
Get Many Options
Inhabitants of more rural Sec
tions have been less reluctant to
have the power cables strung
over their property. The trans
portation company is said to
have obtained many options and
leases outside the metropolitan
area near Washington.
The proposed line starts at Elk
ridge, crosses to Prince Georges
county, west Of Laurel, and runs
parallel to and about a mile
east Of the Montgomery-Prince
Georges county line straight to
Washington.

"My health is fine-never

Only 4 Holes a Day
Mr.. Rockefeller is bv nature
optimistic and cheerful, and there
is plenty of grit in his makeup.
He may feel mighty well, but
somehow he looked definitely older
than when saw him here a year
ago. Maybe the fact he has just
recovered. from a cold which kept
him indoors for a spell had some
thing to do with his altered ap-
pearance.
Two years ago at Ormond he
was playing eight holes of golf
daily. A year ago he had cut
down to six holes. Now he plays
no more than four holes a day,

lucky to escape with the afternoon
laurels. The Millers found the
range and at the end of the sixth
the score was IL to s in the Tribes
favor. Three markers chalked up
by the HooSiers in the eighth saved
the day for Chief Mccain. The
league leaders got four tallies in that
round.

Jack Kroner, young third sacker,

blasted two home runs. double and
two singles, driving in seven runs.
His first circuit drive was delivered
in the second inning with the bases
loaded. 1t was a perfect day for
him. He scored three times himself
and it was his double in the eighth,
his fifth hit of the day, that
helped put over the needed VIC
tory runs. Frank Sigafoos, Tribe
second sacker, also was prominent
with two doubles and two singles.
Glenn Chapman, rookie Hoosier
f1ychaser, weighed in with three hits,
one for the circuit that was

ter field fence. 1t was one of the
longest homers of the season locally.
The youth also played a sparkling
fielding game.
Two HOmerS by Richards
On the Miller side Paul Richards
walloped two homers and a single,
and Ray Fitzgerald, former Indian,
sent one over the fence. Ray also
poled a single. The unusual part of
the SUGGEST was the fact that Joe
Hauser, Minneapolis first sacker and
the leagues leading home run hit
ter, was held to two hits, both sin
giles Ernie Smith, f1ashy Miller
shortstop, accepted eleven out of
twelve chances and collected four
hits.
Four tits remain in the series

Thursday. The Miller lead was
damaged very little by the Monday
defeat, but the Indians were bene-
fitted by retaining their two-game
