Business Check-Up

Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of
Commerce, has announced that 326
enumerators will be employed in
MARYLAND during the nationwide
census of business which will begin
January 2, 1885.
At the same time Mr.. Roper said
that three district supervisors had

in the next few days. Those APP
pointed thus far were: Daniel w.
Davis, Denton; j. Edgar Thome,
Baltimore. John p Schellhaus, Cum

Cecil county, which is in District
No. l, with headquarters at Denton,
will have four enumerators.

merce Department reported. approx

Bureau of the Census of the Depart
ment of Commerce, is to obtain an
up-to-date and comprehensive picture
of business during the yea1 1885.
1t was estimated that most OF next
year will be needed to complete the
census, and the peak of employment
is expected to last several months.
Secretary Roper said that the CEN
sus of business was being taken at
the suggestion of business men who
want complete and up-to-date data
concerning the activities of Ameri-
can business.

They drove out two timely hits
apiece. One of Oertel'S blows was
a long home run over Leftfielder
Carey Maupin's head.

Senator Gerry
Against u. 5.
In 0|ynnpiCs

Added fuel to the raging Olym.
pic fires has been furnished by
Senator Peter G. Gerry O0 Of
Rhode Island, who yesterday
warned the Senate that United
States participation might result
in ''very bad feeling"
Senator Gerry said in part:
"It might be q serious mat
ter, for example, If an Ameri-
can Of Jewish extraction should
win an important event In the
Olympic games, or II there were
some questions Of . dead heat
involving such an American and
q controversy should arise on
the decision.
"The number Of arrests, ex-
pulsionS, counter demonstration
and incidents Of all sorts has
become so great and the news
suppression system is so excel
lent that there is no longer any
question Of getting an adequate
picture Of the religious turmoil
in virtually every village and
town in the Reich"
A resolution from 80 repreSen-
tatives of the American Youth
Congress, urging nonparticipation
by this country in the 1896 Olym-
pics and requesting the A. A. U.
not to certify athletes for the
games in Berlin, has been re-
ceived by him, jeremiah T. Ma
honey, president Of the Amateur
Athletic Union of the United
States announced in New York.
The resolution charges Ger
many with inflicting "persecu.
tions and determinations not
only upon Jews but also upon
labor organizations, Catholics,
Protestants, Negroes and other
so-called non-Aryans, thus alb
rogating all pledges and promises
of the Hitler government to the
American olympic committee"
Personally opposed to sending
an American Olympic team to
Germany, Mr.. Mahoney accepted
the resolution but refused to
discuss it.

Yes sir little "Ug" is hitting
BAT, with IA hits in Ais times
at bat. Vosmik is just behind
him, with .346, 149 hits in 431
times at bat. Vosmik made only
one safe hit in four trips to the
plate yesterday against the right
handed pitching of Charley Ruff
fling, Yankee pitcher.
Made Pitchers Moan
If the truth were known, Myer
took lot of pleasure in ham
mering his way into the lead in
Detroit. Here in the hold and
sight of Mickey Cochrane, Buddy
made the pitchers moan. You
will remember of course that
Mickey Cochrane was manager
of the American League team in
the all7star game at Cleveland
and Buddy Myer sat on the bench
throughout the paStime while
Charley Gehringer played second
base.
It Just so happened that only
one of Myers three blows figured
in the slashing victory produced
by the Griffs over the Tigers.
But that is neither here nor there.
He has figured in many a victory
produced by the team, and he's
the sort of player you find in
the thick of things as rule.
The big point with Buddy Myer
right now is that he reached
the goal of every players ambi-
tion yesterday. He established
himself as the top hitter in his
league and what more can any
ballplayer ask.
Earl Whitehill, 1t would seem,
just can't win a game in less than
extra innings. On Whitehil'S last
appearance here the teams bat
tied IA innings and the Tigers
won by a driving rally in the
last two innings. Well, Whitehill
went on the hill yesterday and
turned in one Of his finest exhibi'
tionS of the season.
Pete Fox Poles Homer
Letting the Tigers down with
seven hits, he held them to three
runs. Those runs, it may be said,
came in the third inning. Clifton
and White beat out infield hits
and then Pete Fox slapped one
over the left field fence. Since
the GriffS showed no signs Of
breaking through the delivery of
Alvin Crowder, those three runs
looked bigger than all out doors.
But they weren't that big at all.
In the fifth Kress and Bolton
singled. Kuhel followed suit to
score Kress, and then up stepped
Myer and drove in Bolton. In the
sixth Manush and Travis singled,
and Kress drove Manush home,
tying the count.
In the tenth, Miles ran for Boil
ton after the catcher had forced
Kress. Whitehill hit to Hogsett
and the Indian threw wild to Sec
ond trying for a force. Miles ran
to third and scored on Whites
wild throw to third.
The Tigers threatened in the
tenth, but leave it to old Gerry
Walker to gum up the parade.
Walker singled, and Clifton sac
rificed, Travis to Myer. Walker
reached second, but overran, and
Myer whipped a throw to Kress
with a result that Walker was run
out and the last threat Of the Ben
gals removed.
Perhaps the most significant
thing in the pitching Of Whitehill
was that, after the third inning,
the Tigers got three hits off him.
Earl completely baffled Hank
Greenberg, and in four trips to
the plate the bang-all ace failed
to hit the ball out Of the infield.
It was the third consecutive day
in which HankuS failed to gather
himself q blow,
