AS baseball marks time today,
pending an adjustment of the
situation in Boston, the fate of
one ball club and perhaps the
structure of the National League
hang in the balance. If the
Boston tangle cannot be salts
factorily solved, franchise may
be forfeited, the league circuit
rearranged. and a collective in
vestment of $10,OOO,OOO or more
frozen.
President Ford C. F'rick, who
found the Sorest burden of the
league in half a dozen decades
of it's existence heaped upon his
shoulders, has asked for the
charity of silence. The situation,
as Mr.. Frick stated, is delicate.
A sentence spoken or written out
of time might render readjust,
ment impossible.
According to facts definitely es-
tablished, the Boston Braves owe
the Gaffney estate $1,000 for
rent. For that reason, it is Off,
cially stated, the lease on the
home of the Braves was abrogated.
Those acquainted with the situa,
ton in it's broader aspects know
full well that $11, 900 would be a
mere bag of shells to Charles
Francis Adams, the financial
power of the Braves.

OF the current crop, Hiser
strings along with Tony Santini,
Washington Singles League leader.
Opines the Bethesda flash:
"They are inclined to regard
TOny's ability lightly, but when
they are paying off you'll find
Santini right in line. He's bet
ter than he looks and refuses to
give up even when everything is
against him. You can't stop a
man like that"
whip" Litchfield, Ollie Pacini
and Jack Talbert are some of the
city's present "head-to-head" top
notchers as far as Henry is con
cerned. Howard Campbell was a
crackerjack singles man in his
heyday.
Practically Retired
Hiser is practically in retire,
ment this year due to his ailing
arm. He has lost complete con
troll of his wrist.
In the District League, which
he led four years ago with a rec
ord 121 average, he has 108 for
eight games, while he is subbing
in two Bethesda leagues with lie
and ia averages for a little over
20 games in each.
Henry recalls ruefully that only
once this season has he felt like
his old self and that was when he
rolled 169 against Leesburg All
Stars, only to flank the big game
with insignificant 102s.

Delaware CCC Camps were

of accidents occurring to enrolled
men in the Second Corps Area
during the month of June, accord
ing to a report compiled in the Of
flee of the LiaiSon officer, Corps
Area Headquarters, Governors ISL
and, N. Y. With an accident rate
of .01 per thousand men or one
percent, Delaware made a showing
in advance of the corps area aver

New York and the National Parks
tied for second place with a rate
of OF per thousand men, while
New Jersey was fourth with rate
of .02 for similar camps. The in
juries suffered in Delaware result
ed mainly from falls of persons
and from improper handling of
what the report terms simply as
objects. There were no result
ant deaths in Delaware, although
three occurred in other states in
the corps area as the results of
vehicular accidents and falls of
persons. The total number of ac-
cidents in Delaware in June was
six. The figures for Delaware are
based on the one forestry and two
mosquito control camps in opera
tion during the month of June,
while the figures for the other
states in the corps area covered 81
forestry camps, Al park camps,
