County Welfare Agencies
End Friday Conferences
With General Discussion

At the closing session of a series
of Friday morning conferences at
tended by the members of the var
ious boards and the stats of the
IA Montgomery County agencies in
terested in programs of social well
fare and relief, the group voted to
adjourn meetings for the summer,
but to reconvene in the fall for the
purpose of continuing a discussion
of the county welfare and relief pro-
grams, in order that stronger CO.
ordination may be built by the agen-
cies. It was suggested that Social
Service Exchange be proposed to the
Boards of the county agencies and
that means for establishing CEN
trail clearance be worked out before
the fall programs began. Many of
the agencies felt very strongly that
a permanent county council should
be established. This proposal was
accepted by Mrs. Willie Greene Day
Perry, chairman of the Montgomery
County Welfare Committee on Work
err Training and Social Work Coordi-
nation for the county. Mrs. Perry
stated that the Boards on all of the
county agencies would be contacted
and invited to discuss plans for the
formation of such a council.
A very interesting review of the
county's health work was presented
by DR.. v. L. Ellicott, Health Officer
for the County, Ernest w. Offutt,
Sanitation Agent for the County
and Miss Hermine Badenkoop of the
Public Health Nursing Service.
o. w. Anderson reviewed the re-
suits of the Agricultural adjustment
program in Montgomery County. Mr..
Anderson stated that in Montgomery
County, benefit from the Agrlcul-
tural adjustment program had ma
terialized in a number of forms.

catcher, and George Nestle, right
handed pitcher.
May Develop
Not that Georgetown lacks good
baseballers. Such is not the case.
There are others, but their lack Of
experience is quite evident. al
though it must be said for a num-
ber of them that they give lndi-
cations of developing.
Georgetown's schedule this year
numbers IL games. This is an
abbreviated season for a Hoya
team, which usually has listed
from 26 to 80 games. Since game
experience is more valuable than
any other developing process, it is
plain that Coach Mccarthy doesn't
get the better of the deal which
cut down the number of games.
Ed Hargaden, Georgetown'S
great basketball player, is sta
toned at first base; Dan Gala
han at second; Gus Crenshaw,
former Tech High star, at third.
Coach Mccarthy right now seems
to be undecided whether to use
Towers Peterson c. Joe Corlis at
shortstop.

In the outfield is Capt. Jack
O'Rourke, right field, supported
by Jerry Dolan in left and Ralph

Pay Restoration
Helps Spring Sports
Around Washington

WaShington's various sports
industries, particularly of the
outdoor variety, may well expect
to see slight increase in busi-
ness, in view of the pay cut res
toration passed by Congress
this week over the veto of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Timed for April IS when an
additional sum of money will be
forthcoming to nearly $4,000
Federal and District workers in
Washington, the first fattened
pay envelopes are expected to 10
their part toward stimulating
and Stabilizing spring sports.
Probably the most immediate
benefactor will be the Washing
ton ball club which happens to
be opening it's 1884 season the
the day following the first in
creased pay-off, which incident
ally will be retroactive to Febru-
ary ! carrying raises here

been estimated at $2,370,658.
Sport to Get Share
But every phase of recrea-
tional activity should gain some
thing from the loosening of the
purse strings of the local and
Federal governments, however
small it may be in some cases.
Many forms of sport were the
first to feel the pinch of salary
cuts, those affected making
their earliest sacrifices in the
channels where it hurt the least
Little by little some of this lost
industry is expected to be re-
stored and already a sanguine
feeling for the future is begin
ming to be reflected in athletic
circles.
The butcher and the baker
and the shoemaker and the
landlord are all expecting to get
a pro rata of the pay boost
which is forthcoming, but the
ball club and bowling alleys, golf
clubs, sports goods stores and
wrestling and boxing promoters
are also anticipating a. cut-in on
the kickback to the army OF
city and Uncle Sans workers.
Many Baseball Lives
Speculation is rife in baseball
as to whether the effervescent
Rabbit Maranville will stage a
comeback after his unfortunate
accident wherein he broke his
left leg in two places in an ex-
hibition game in st. Petersburg.
Rabbits age is against it, but
