COUNTY TOWNS
ASK ROAD AID

Representatives of the incor.
porated towns of Prince Georges
county met last night at River
dale, and revived the County Mu-
nicipal Association, for the pur-
pose of taking concerted action
on the question of the mainten-
ance of county roads.
Under a system inaugurated
year ago in Maryland, the build
ing and repairing of county roads
was taken out of the hands of
the County Commissioners and
placed with the State Roads Com
mission. Instead of receiving a
lump sum of money for road I'D
keep, as was formerly done under
county control, the towns now re-
ceive allotments based on IS per
cent Of the revenue from the
gasoline tax in their areas.
The towns complain that they
haven't been receiving their al
lotments with enough regularity
to carry on road work. Last
night a committee was named to
interview the roads commission
in Baltimore to find out if the
allotments due from 1884 are 60
ing to be paid. Members are
Bird Dolby, H. S. Willis, and
William Carson.
A committee of representatives
of all towns was also named to
consider legislation to be pre-
sented at the meeting of the
general assembly next month.

News ServiCe)
Constituting a striking depar-
ture from legislative custom, a
plan has been devised in high Ad-
miniStration circles for creation. of
a joint congressional committee
to handle banking and currency
l, yislation in the Seventy-fourth
Congress.
The plan, it was disclosed today.
is already completed and its fu
ture depends upon the reception
given it by Administration leaders
in both bodies of Congress.
To Halt Initiation
The proposal is believed to be
designed to check initiation and
extreme banking reform in the
forthcoming session.
The Joint committee would be
charged with the duty of making
banking reform and initiation pro-
posals. Hearings would be held
and experts would be summoned.
Sponsors of the plan expect
strong initiation sentiment in the
coming Congress. Senator Thomas
CD of Oklahoma already has
made progress and now has the
backing of the Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin, of Detroit, the Radio
Priest" in currency reform.
The plan would be in accord
with the Administration pro-
gram of sound reform, while
avoiding legislation which might
destroy confidence and thus pre-
vent the hoped-for revival of
business.
Limited Program
A limited banking program is
now being prepared by the Ad-
ministration. Among the con.
troversial issues to be considered
is the future of the deposit in
Surance corporation.
The Administration is expected
to ask that the present $4,000 max
imum on deposit insurance either
be made permanent or continued
as a temporary measure, Unless
some action is taken. the full
deposit insurance law will be-
come effective in 1886. Under
the permanent program 100 per
cent insurance is provided up to
$4,000 of deposits and partial
insurance above that figure.

In 1908 he hung up an all-time mark

form the favorite topic of conversa-

In that season Radbourne, with Prov
idence, won 60 and lost IL. Nineteen
Of his victories came in succession and
he pitched % consecutive complete
games, as Charlie White is my Judge.
Dizzy Deans work was just as valu-
able to his team as Radbourne,s, or
McGinnity's, or even Walsh's. though
he didn't match them statistically.
His work in the world series was some
thing else again.
It fell well short Of Matty's
three shuteuts against the AS

didn't touch George Mullins
record Of 80 innings for Detroit
in the series Of 1909.
Dizzy finds his closest parallel in the
Babe Adams of 1908 Like the Babe,
he pitched the first, fifth and seventh
games Of seven-game series. Like
the Babe, he scored a lopsided shut
out over Detroit in the last contest.
He didn't win the fifth game, as
Adams did, but he made up the diff
ference with his power of inspiring
confidence every minute he was out

The jury pronounces Dizzy quite q
pitcher, and recommends him to the

case he slips little in this goofy barn.

Harris idolatry of Cronin was free

was in a ticklish spot because the
Sheriff's fists "allus was itching to

joe" When the Nationals clinched
the pennant in 1888 Dave hoisted the
protesting Cronin on his broad back
and carried him around the locker
rooms for half an hour. Rare is
the Washington club group picture
Of the last three years that doesn't
show Dave standing or sitting proudly
next to Cronin.
When Cronin broke his wrist
last September and AL Schacht
was appointed acting manager,
there were many Of the Ma
tionals who did not like the idea
of Schacht's elevation. One or
two pitchers openly boasted
they "had better not be relieved
by a pitcher Schacht sent in" :
1t is possible they were kidding,
but not probable, to judge by their
tones. That mutiny during Schacht's
two weeks as acting manager didn'.
break out might have been due in a
measure to Harris. Dave was q dou-
ble-threat "pacifier." Everybody liked
him to well to resent his entrearies
in Schacht's behalf. But even If they
didn't, the prospect of tackling that
