Other Places Rented

Other Places Rented
 MT Eaton theR said that he did not think 1t fair for the borough to lease D hall which would pro- vide competition wit ha taxpayer of the borough.
 Many ask. then why, if this were followed, should the store in the town hall be rented, or the land near the town hall be rented to an oil company to use as gasoline station. These are providing com petition with other taxpayers, they claim.
 There are two groups. One be- lieves the hall should be open to local organizations who wish to use it whenever they wish at a nom- inal fee. The others feel that as long as the management is leasing the theater, he should have the right to charge whatever fee he considers right if persons or so- cieties wish to use the hall. They point out that he is being deprived of the right 10 make a profit on the night or nights in question.

Welfare department employees will also be paid next Monday in- stead of next Wednesday in con- nection with this program. Of course this will only be for next week.
 And the third part of the gen. eral plan to brighten up Christi mas as far as is possible, concerns the distribution of government food to borough needy. This usually is given out on Wednesdays but next week the food will bc distributed Monday. As much as the welfare department can af- ford to give out will be given. There may be some beef but the main portion will be food staples such as butter and cheese which are considered more necessary.

Work Continues

Work on the North High street TERRA project which was started Tuesday was continued to-day. The project was inspected yesterday by borough officials. Warden Sheridan has emphasized the point that money regarded in EZRA es- inmates as borough expenditures for. use of equipment is no actual expenditure as far as the town is concerned. The borough in this project will donate about $1,1S5 for materials and nothing for ma terials on the Dunn avenue and Chemical company projects ap- proved by the borad of warden and burgesses Monday night.
 This Is money actually spent. But
 the sum of $5,00O for instance, listed as the borough's share for equipment on the High street pro- jeet, only means that this sum would be paid for the use of trucks and a compressor if the ZEBRA rented them. This costs the borough nothing in actual money for the trucks and compressor would be used by the street depart naent probably anyway on other work if not used for this project.

The Giants still hold a five-and- a-half game margin, one less than they held yesterday morning. But half dozen games may be big or little, according to the way club is facing. For a winning club, 1t is plenty; for a losing outfit, it is not so much.
 The Giants cannot help but re- call the narrowing details of their last visit to Chicago, when q dazzling five-game lead was knock ed for a row of milk bottles. The iGants went home game and half ahead and were glad it was no worse.
 Yesterday the big guns of the Giants were conspicuously silent. In fact, the Giants made as many dumb plays as they made hits three each. Fat Freddy Fitzsim mons, who pitched most of the game, walked five men-three more than he famed. He gave ten hits in seven innings, while Mel Ott, who got double and single. and Travis Jackson with a single. were the only ones who could touch Lon Warneke's delivery. Let Down. That is not quite championship baseball. The Giants will be satis- fled to break even on the current series. or even to take one game but Chicago sweep would be all but disastrous to the Giant morale The Cub score yesterday was 7-1.
 St Louis meanwhile took a se- cere headache from Brooklyn, which managed to split with tn. Cards, taking the first 11-5 and dropping the second 7-2. The split los St Louis a chance to gain on both leaders.
 Cincinnati ripped up the seven th-place Phillies twice, Curt Davis losing a well-pitched game in the opener, 2-1. while in the night cap, Tony Piet's looping double in the eighth drove two home. win ing 6-4.
 Boston knocked off the Pirates. S-5, scoring four in the seventh on an error, two walks and two hits.
 Three For Circuit. Larruping Lou Gehrig was in his best home run form, and had three for the day-two in the first ! and one, his 42nd, nthe second game. These helped the Yankees peat Chicago twice, 95 and 20 Lefty Gomez won the first game and ed Ruffing pitched a three hit shoutout in the second. Detroit won from Philadelphia. 7-6, but had its lead shaved to four and half games. Manager | Mickey Cochrane won the game in the tenth, scoring on Gehringer's | double.
 | Washington dropped to a fifth place tie with St Louis, losing both ends of a bargain bill, 30, and 9-5. George Blaeholder shut out the Mats with two hits in the first game.
 Cleveland and Boston divided Oral Hildebrand clipping his for mer mate, Wes Terrell, in the first game. 3-2, while Bill Werber,s s double and Roy Johnson's triple broke up a deadlock in the late game, the Red Sox winning, 5-2.
