snap judgment today on the probable
outcome of his three major expert
mental moves, the Washington pilot
would do so with rose-colored glass

Senior Roberto Estallella frankly has
been as much surprise to Harris
as to Capital fans by his play on
third base and at bat. Cecil Travis
seemingly can't miss in the outfleld
and Dee Miles has a definite chance
to make the big league grade.
With these three settled in their
posts now-Miles will return to the
lineup as soon as his injured foot
heals-Harris today turns his atten-
ton to another pair OF newcomers.

Dick Lanahan, ex-local scholastic

Griff last Spring directly from the
University OF Virginia.

today from Nashville, where yester-
day he pitched Chattanooga to a 80

One Of the most important as

Experienced workmen can easily

AT the same time clean cutters and

one possible complication was be-
ing pointed out TO the sale Of fun
strength beer and liquor. the posi-
bility that such sale prior to off,
cial l~egalization might prevent the
vendor from securing a state IL
cense when regulatory measures are
passed by the legislature.
II was pointed out that when 81
beer was legalized in Texas, an ap-
plicant for a beer sale license was
forced TO make affidavit that he had
not engaged in the sale Of forbid
den liquor prior to It's legalizat1on.
Should such a provision be embodied
in the application for a liquor IL
cense II is possible that those who
