WESTMINSTER. Md. July q
The Carroll County Board of Educa-
ton has been directed by Circuit
Court Judge Francis Neal Parke to
furnish the Board of County Com
missioners with a detailed statement
of its uneXpended balances as a result
of mandamus proceedings filed by the
commissioners in an effort to obtain
complete statement of the 1934-35
school budget now before them for
consideration.
1t is also set forth in the decree
that the Board of Educati ton must
re-allocate in the budget submitttd to
the commissioners the county's share
received from State school funds and
also must furnish a list of the teach
ers. with their salary schedule.
The proceedings charged that the
budget for the 1934-35 term lacks the
details necessary for comprehensive
study. while it also was claimed at
the hearing before Judge Parke that
the budget provided for an increase
in teachers salaries. whereas the
School Board is compelled to pay in
instructors the same wage they re-
ceived during the 1928 term
1t was further asserted by the COM
missioners that the Board of Educa-
tion did not distribute the State
school funds as specified by law. which
drew vigorous denial from educa-
tional heads

CHOATE OPPOSES
DRY CONTROL PLAN
Federal Alcohol Administra-
tor Holds Sheppard Pro-
posaI Impractical.
BY the Associated Press.

-! tne Associated Press.
Joseph H Choate, jr.. director of
the Federal Alcohol Control Admin
istration, is "f1atly opposed" to the
proposal of Senator Sheppard. Demo-
crat, of Texas. to have Congress run
the liquor industry.
Choate is the first administration
spokesman to discuss the Sheppard
proposal which. he said, should never
be considered for one moment"
"lf there is one business in the
world that is unfit for complete CEN
tralization it is the liquor business.
because no two States want the same
sort of control" Choate said. 1T is
a fat violation of the principle of
home rule.
The drys never give up, and. of
course they want to do what they
can to keep such dry States as still
exist. In the natural course of events,
most existing dry States will go wet.
II the dryS can make sufficient cam
paign on the general subject, they
may save some of them"
For six months, Choate has been
supervising the alcoholic beverage in
dustries under codes and administer
ing the F. A. C. A. as clearing house
for complaints and readjustments.
Il think it is doing some good" he
said of his organization. "Of course,
we receive constant complaints from
the various liquor industries that they
are in a bad way. There is a great
deal of price-cutting and bitter squeals
from all kinds of people engaged in
all branches of the business. These
are mostly business troubles, which
they have got to work out for them
selves.
We can help them to some extent,
and we are doing what We can as re-
CARDS the main source of their
troubles. Increased enforcement of
the law, passage of the (reciprocaD
tariff act. and the bottle law seem
to me to be very considerable forward
steps"

TWO TEAM RACES
 FEATURE MAJOR
 LEAGUE ACTIVITY
Yanks Now Have Two Game Lead-Giants
 Also Win

New York, July 3.-(UP)-Two team races appear developing in both major leagues, as teams sweep toward the home stretch mark, set as July 4 for some mys- terious reason known only to baseball statisticians.
 The Yankees hold a two-game edge over the Detroit Tigers. The Giants have the same margin over the Chicago Cubs in the senior circuit. The American leaguers yesterday stretched their winning streak to eight games, Lefty Gomez hurling a shutout against the Boston Red Sox, 50.
 The goofy senor from San Fran cisco allowed seven hits. Ed Nor gan got triple, the only extra base hit the Bostonians recorded. It was Gomez 18th win with two losses.
 Detroit stayed with the Tanks for half the afternoon, inaugural ing their western tour after win ming ten of fifteen games in the east, by beating Cleveland 9-2 in the opener. The Tigers ram- med out 19 hits to fell the swelt- ering Indians on their home lot, but wilted in the nightcap and succumbed 6-5, the Indians rally ing twice to tie 1t up in the sev- enth and win in the ninth. De- troit thus lost half game in the race with the New Workers.
 Ralph Raped
 Washington mounted into third place again, defeating Philadel- phia "a on the strength of two home runs manufactured by Ralph Kress, late of the White Sox. Kress. made over from a shortstop to an outfielder and finally to Q first sacker, was the whole works, flashing in three runs, SCOT. ing two himself.
 Chicago and St Louis were not scheduled in the American.
 The Giants pummelled Bob Smith and Barrett of the Braves for 13 hits to win behind Joe Bowman, "A. Travis Jackson won the game when he poled his 18th homer in the seventh with Ott aboard.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers presented Lon Koenecke in a special act two of them, both homers-and trounced the Phillies, 7-5. Koen- ecke hit his first homer the first time up to start a four-run rally that was never headed. He cracked another in the 7th and also singled in four trips to bat.
 The Chicago Cubs made five er- TOTS but beat St Louis, chasing priceless Paul Dean off the hump in the seventh, when they got four runs, winning "A. Lon Warneke held the Cards to seven hits.

More than 100,0 baseball fans throughout the country have voted on who they would like to see in this lineup.
 Advance Dope
 The starting lineups will not be released until later this week. ton that Bill Terry of the Giants burning up many ergs of brain power doping out who they will put on the field in order to win.
 The feeling of Messrs Terry and Cronin seems to be that they have bene named managers of the rival all-star teams, and they want no outpost fur trapper who thinks Jack Dempsey is still the heavy weight champion telling either of them who is to play shortstop.
 The opposite view Is that Messrs Terry and Cronin both got jobs on these all-star teams as a result of votes cast by discerning public, and if these addicts who pay real money at the gate want to see Joe Glutz caper in shortfield, then Jo- seph Is the man to play. A flock of newspaper writers, who have been larding up the all-star game, are joining the howl of protest against Terry and Cronin thinking.
 The case of Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox and Frank Higgins of the Athletics Is one in point. Dykes bats only .250, but he is popular player and exactly 102,- 675 baseball fans said they wanted to see him play in the all-star game. Higgins, who bats 1854. is Cronin's tentative choice for third base--and there you have it. Only 11,S46 are interested in seeing him.
 Not Popular Choice
 In general the American League team appears to be one of the greatest aEgregatiors of hitting and fielding ball players ever collected. But it is not the team the fans chose. Carl Reynolds of the Red sox is of the list, and Sam West of the Browns in his place. West, who played on last years team. bats .291; Reynolds hits .330, but West is one of the greatest outfield players in the game.
 Ralph Hemsley of St Louis was showed out for Rick Terrell of Bos. tOIl. lItuiScly nltS .ofOs Y rcTTeiL sOUOy but Cronin likes Ferrell's play. Jack Russell of Washington, who hardly got vote. Is on Cronin's list and Lefty Grove. Earl White hill and Willis Hudlin are off.
 Tn Terry's selections, Kiki Cuyler of the Cubs. who got 11.1S4 votes is passed for Joe Moore of the Giants. Fred Frankhouse. who has won twelve games for Boston but got very little fan mail, is selected and Paul Dean of the Cards and Guy Bush of the Cubs, both high in voting, are tossed out.

TEXAS HORSES
 COMING BACK

Lubbock, Tex (UP)-The horse Is coming back in big way on the South Plains, but the mule ap- pears to be slipping.
 More than 2,000 horses were shipped here for distribution dur ing the eight months ended June 15, and other South Plains points reported similar increased demand.
 Mule owners, on the other hand, sold off their stock to get money with which to buy horses.
 The reason for the horses great. CT popularity may lie in the fact that the horse costs less. Mules shipped to the cotton areas of Fort Worth, Memphis and Atlanta brought an average price of SIS head. The average price for horses shipped in was only $51.
 Horses imported here came largely from Colorado, Wyoming and other northwestern states. Prices ranged from $25 for old animals to $200 for the best types of Percheron draft stock.
 South Plains farmers expect colts to be one of their best mon
