Washington-Half a year of re-

America putting away just about as
much legal hard stuff as before

But the taste for legal beer and

So the tax figures indicated the

900 gallons a month or 100000
a year, should the rate be main

ranged from 64,50o,OOO to 49,

Beer consumption has been aver

Salisbury is host today to the
Lions and Lionesses of this distric,
nd from the number seen on the
treet, this particular part of the
JINGLE must be quite thickly popu-
lated with the king of beasts. From
the despairing looks cast at some OF
the very comely females of the
species by the local young SWANS,
there must be a rising urge of the
Frank Buckish instinct to Bring
EN- Back Alive"
Salisbury was host during the
past week to the old traveller who
with his pair of mules and covered
wagon equipped with automobile
wheels, spent a night in one of our
local back lots. This old character.
who has spent the last two years
travelling over the United States in
his mule drawn vehicle, has &C
formulated a vast store of interest
ing experiences and yarns which he
was very agreeable in passing on to
the interestd inquirer.
If the devastating drought out in
the midwest continues much long
Ier, Old King Cornbread stands an
extremely good chance to come into
his W as the Staff of Life when
the present supply of boarded
wheat is exhausted.
The recently formed soft ball
league and the interest and support
which is being manifested in it
gives evidence that we may expect a
very interesting series of this type
lof twilight ball which will be play
ed on the diamond at the Boyden
high school. If you want to see Just
how good your favorite business or
professional friend is at this sport,
be present at some of the games
and get a good laugh.

are the fair racqueters who don't
intend to let mere men get ahead
of them in anything. They are
scheduled to start play today
in the District Women'S Tennis
League, composed of 10 teams.

teams, all men of course. Monu
ment is the defending champion
Expect Competition
Stiff competition is expected
from the runner.up Montrose
outfit and the third-place Rock
Greek.
Pierce Mill, Potomac, and
Henry Park expect to have much
to say before the winner is es
tablished. Although the league
doesn't depend to any great extent
upon college players, teams will OF
course be strengthened when the
college netmen come home in
early June.
The Women's League has
added about 20 new players.
The bad weather which caused
the postponement of the annual
tournament from tomorrow until
July 8 is something of a blessing
in disguise since it gives the
girls plenty of time to get their
eyes and wits sharpened before
meeting in mortal combat"
Team captains for the coming
campaign are: Dorothy Kings

Florence Black, Chevy Chase;
Connie Thompson, Columbia

Florence Meier, Nationals; Mary

Yesterday, against the Phlla-
delphia AS, Cronin gave his latest
example Of coming through in
the clutch. One was out and
the tieing and winning runs on
base when he stepped to bat.
But unmindful Of this, also the
fact that he hadn't gathered the
sign of a hit all day, the youth
full performer sighed a big sigh,
stuck out his fighting chin and
proceeded to whack a double to
right field which won the game
and sent more than $4,000 base
ball crazed fans home to enjoy
their planned Sunday night sup
pers.
Cronin has been doing this
sort Of thing ever since he
learned the finest. points of hit
ting. That dates back to the
season of 1880 when Walter John
son, then the manager Of the
Griffmen, put him into the
lineup as an experiment.
He was supposedly an ordinary
hitter at that time, but his value
to deliver in the pinch quickly
advanced him to the front soon
after, the entire result being his
selection as the cleanup bats
man in the lineup, which posi-
ton he's held down ever since.
To try and record every in
stance when Cronin has "come
through" would take up rea MS
Of space here, but two interest
ing moments of last year are
too vivid to be left out. The
first was in the game at Grit
filth Stadium on May 80 when
Lou Gehrig socked that much
discussed foul home run" over
the fence. The Griffs finally
lost that day. but it was not
the fault of Cronin, who drove
over the tieing run in the eighth
inning with a line single to
center.
Then the first game of that
ever memorable double-header at
the Yankee Stadium on July 4.
The Griffs had come from behind
to tie the count at SIS by heart
gasping rally in the eighth when
it came time for Cronin to bat in
the tenth (the battle went that
far).
Realizing that the result hung
in the balance on what ever he
might be able to do in that par
ticular inning, the young man
ager sighed another of those
sighs, stuck out his fighting chin,
and hit a liner to center which
scored Heine Manush from Sec
ond with what proved to be the
winning run Of the game.
So it is easy to believe why
Manager Joe" should be called
the greatest money hitter in base
ball today. He's proved the point
many times in the past and prom
ises to keep up the good work
often in the future, even though
it might be his only hit Of the
game, such as was the case
yesterday against the AS.
