STADIUM SOUGHT
IN K|NGMAN PARK
Lincoln Park Group Also to
Ask for Convention Hall
and Armory.

An appropriation Of nearly $40
100000 for the construction of huge
stadium. convention hall and armory
in the Kingman Park area will be
sought from Congress in the coming
session, Joseph L. Gammell, chairman
OF the Legislation Committee Of the
Lincoln Park Citizens Association,
announced yesterday.
In making the announcement, Gam
nell said the Lincoln Park Citizens
Association was entering q wider field
Of activities than that prescribed by
the limits Of the associations terri.
tory.
The stadium. armory and conven-
ton hall would be located at the east
end Of East Capitol street under the
proposal. The plans ,all for seating
capacity in the stadium OF 100, 900,
only 1000 less than the largest one
in this country.
Gammell pointed out that the Ma
tion's Capital needs a large conven-
ton hall to accommodate the many
conventions that are selecting this
city as meeting place. The city OH.
cials would not have to convert Union
Station into banquet hall for such
meetings as the World Power Confer
ence With the proper convention hall.
Gammell said.
In case the entire amount was not
grant from the Government, the
project probably could be financed by
staging foot ball games. champion
ship boxing contests and wrestling
bouts. Gammell indicated. Under the
present arrangements used by the
Army and Navy foot ball teams this
city could realize over 100000 il the
annual game was played in the sta
dunn.

New Street Signs
Generally Approved.

MANY citizens who only find
A ground for complaint at the
District government are enthusl-
astic in their praise Of the street
signs installed on some of the
streets recently. The old signs sus-
pended from rods on the light poles
were very attractive with their gold
letters on dark background. They
are very beautiful and perfectly
legible in the daylight, but at night
they could seldom be read without
the aid Of spotlight.
The new signs are on a strip Of
ground glass placed just at the
bottom of the electric light globe
and at very convenient angle for
reading in all four directions. The
letters are dark on the white trans
lucent background and are perfect
ly illuminated by the street lamp
above. The idea Is somewhat after
the old signs on the gas street
lamps with this variation, the new
signs are at an angle and below
the light. These signs are equally
visible to pedestrians from the
sidewalk and occupants Of vehicles
in the street. Among the most
enthusiastic in praise Of these
lights are the taxi drivers.

day by Louis F. F'rick, secretary of the
Southeast Business Mems Association.
Frick recently wrote the District off,
cials asking that the parkway be re-
moved. He stated in his letter that the
association considered the existing
condition on the avenue a menace to
safety, pointing out that Fire Engine
Company No. 8, located on North Car
olina avenue near Seventh street, had
difficulty in leaving its station and
proceeding down the street in answer
to an alarm because Of the narrowness
of the avenue. Private vehicles also
find 1t hazardous, he added.

sisters their very best effort in sup
port Of the several measures.
The local league will have other
legislative proposals later, but the
plan Is to concentrate effort on
these three at this time. National

as the key to the solution of many
OF our other problems.
"Red Rider" Impediment to
Needed School Legislation.
OPENING guns Of the campaign
for the repeal Of the much
"cussed" and discussed Little Red
Rider" have been fired in several
quarters. To the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association probably be-
longs the distinction of firing the
first. The next was the League Of
Women Voters, and more recently
DR.. John r. Fitzpatrick, dean Of
Columbus University Law School,
in radio address appealed to the
citizens to work for repeal. In his
opinion, the majority of the citi-
zens Of the District want this law
repealed. He called upon the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations to
make its position clear.
The matter is under considera-
ton by other groups and there Is
a strong desire that the contro-
versy be gotten out of the way Of
the school building program. These
people believe the red rider and the
controversy it has engendered op-
crate as a serious impeachment to
needed constructive school legisla-
ton They express the belief that
the contending groups could get to-
gether and work for the real school
needs if the obnoxious law was re-
pealed.
Many Of those in civic circles.
who have taken particular interest
in the schools. know the serious
handicap to the pupils through
overcrowded buildings and oversize
classes. They know Of the shortage
of teachers and the old buildings
which have long ago outlived their
usefulness. They express conf
dence in the efficiency, loyalty and
patriotism of the officers and
teachers Of the school system.
There is also widespread express
sions of equal confidence in the
Board Of Education. These citizens
say that if there are among these
fellow citizens any black sheep"
who are trying to indoctrinate pu-
pills in communism, fascism,
nazism or any other un-American
ism they should be singled out
rather than place a stigma upon
every one from the superintendent
to the lowly laborers who clean the
buildings.

professional apprenticeship in rough
school, at the Dyker Beach municipal

other odd impedimenta which have
nothing to do with golf as she is played

But Witty is in the velvet now. He
has a good club job where the going
is smooth and where he is making
a little dough. But he still retains
his concession at Dyker Beach.
In case you don't know Cox, he is
one fellow who has better than an

themselves on the Nationals yeSter-

APPLETON MAKES
PROSPECT BRIGHT
Promises to Prop Pitching
Corps as He Stops AS
in Relief Turn.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~ ACK on their home grounds
- and only slightly worse for the
wear and tear of hectic hol-
- iday week end, the Nationals,
in loaflng moment today, reasonably
could look forward to a turn for the
better in a pitching way.
Supplying the foundation for such
bit of optimism was old Pete Apple
ton, master of the piano, and, at times,
of good many batters. The veteran
curve-balier, written in and written
out as a vital figure on the Washing
ton pitching staff, apparently is deter
mined to win himself another trial as
starter.
Two great and consecutive perform
ances as a relief hurler give Appleton
formidable claim to new conSidera
ton on the part of Manager Bucky
Harris. His first rescue act was more
or less buried in defeat which was
no fault of his own. His second,
staged yesterday in Philadelphia
against the Athletics, brought the Ma
tionals their only triumph in the
threegame jaunt to New York and
Philly.
Starting All Over Again.
DECKING up the Washington hurl-
ing after the AS had pounded
Jack Russell for. four runs in the
first three innings, Appleton came
through with a sparkling perform
ance, to be credited with a 6-to-4 vic
tory He stopped the AS cold, and
during his SiX-inning term he gave
up only five hits and famed half a
dozen of the Mackmen. Two Of his
strikeout victims were the pair of
pinch-hitters the AS flung into the
game in an attempt to stem the tide.
Thus, seemingly riding the crest
once again, Appleton is back where
he was at the start of the year. Orig
tnally regarded as useful only for re-
lief pitching duty Pete showed so we'll
at the beginning of the campaign that
Harris promoted him to a starting
role and saw him win three games
In a row. Then Appleton missed
stride. dropped a trio of games and
was denoted to the bullpen corps,
while Russell took his place as a
starter.
1t was exactly a week ago. in Bos-
ton, when Pete began to claim at
tention again. The Red Sox ham
mered Jimmy De Shong from the hill
in two innings and Appleton came in
to stop the Boston attack with three
hits over the remainder of the route
