tract today after a lengthy conference
with Clark Griffith, president Of the

ger since Griffith became president in

tract. The others were Bucky Harris,
at the end Of the 1925 season. and Wal
ter johnson, who signed at the end
of the 1928 campaign.
Neither Cronin nor Griffith divulged
the terms of the contract. but Cronin
stated it was "a substantial increase
and very satisfactory"
Griffith "Well Satisfied"
Grifith declared he was well satisfied
with Cronin's work this season and
proud to have Joe as manager Of the
club"
Asked whether he planned any
changes in the personnel of the team,
Griffith said 1T Is entirely up to joe"
Cronin, however, declared he had
planned no changes as yet. "Of course, "
he added, we're open for any improve
ments. But with a winning
club. you know, you've got to be careful" "

Cronin's appointment to the manage
ment of the Washington ball club last
October as successor to Walter john
son, who had been at the helm four
years, was great surprise to base ball

had developed into a star at shortstop
and strong hitter with major league
career average of .306. could not main

TAXES FOR STATES
Sum Is In Addition TO Much Larger
Amount In Federal Revenue

Beer produced more than seven

HIGHWAY TRAVEL
SHOWS INCREASE
OVER LAST YEAR
1850 Autos Passed State
Road Between Noon
And Midnight.
ON FOURTH OF JULY
Exceeds Same Period For
Last Year By 927 Cars
And 1892 In 1881.

A total of 19,16O automobiles pass
ed the State Road Station of the
State Police between noon and mid
night on Tuesday. This is an in
crease of 927 cars over the 1882
traffic count and of 1892 over the
1881 count.
The increase is attributed to the
excellent weather conditions. Tues
day was the first Fourth of July in
many years that was both cool and
clear.
Tie thousands who went for short
trips and the hundreds of others re-
turning from a prolonged weekend
holiday apparently enjoyed them
selves as they put off returning I'M
til several hours later than last
year. Traffic was heaviest on the
du Pont Boulevard between 0 and
10 o'clock Tuesday night when 1873
cars passed, and between 10 and IL
o'clock on the Glasgow Road when
1908 passed. Traffic last year was
heaviest between and 0 o'clock on
both roads.
That most of the Vacationists
spent their time at resorts or in WIS.,
iting instead of in riding is indicat-
ed by the fact that traffic was light
est on the du POnt Boulevard be-
tween l and 2 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon when 571 cars passed, and
between noon and l o'clock on the
Glasgow Road when il9 passed.

Far-hung but comparatively quiet
celebrations marked the observance
on Tuesday of the 157th anniversary
of Independence Day. The unusual
" low temperature threw a chilly
atmosphe over the festivities in
practically all parts of the country.
The celebration that was planned
here by the American Legion was
cancelled because of lack of inter-
est and cooperation by the citizens.
American citizens abroad, as far
north as Point Barrow and as far
south as the Canal Zone, remem-
bered the holiday It was celebrated
even in mid-ocean, in warm weather
and under sunny skies, a marked
contrast to the cool, cloudy weather
that prevailed here.
An incomplete survey by the AS
sociated Press showed fatality list
of SO throughout the nation, with
so of the deaths attributed to motor
car accidents. Only four of the
deaths were directly traced to fire
works, three in the Middle Atlantic
States and one in the Middle West.
