waiting of the Catholic University
Stadium has reached an end, what
with the complete construction Of
the fence which encircleS the en-.
tire field and the replacing Of a
large number of seats with new
board. This week, the workmen
engaged in the various tasks Of
putting the gigantic bowl in order
for the Cardinal football game,

other details that must be
taken care of before the site is
completed is the erection of a flag
pole which will unfurl the Orange

ton, Va, Saturday, october 3.
In addition to the big flag pole,
Is smaller poles will be placed
around the stadium. These will
be approximately Is feet high and
will fly the banners of the op-
ponents which make up the 1886
C. U. grid slate. Two platforms
for the C. U. band and that of
the opponents must also be con-
structed. The C. U. band plat
form will We much larger than
that last year as the band now
boasts of so pieces, 20 more than
in the past. The other platform
will be used by either the Knights
of Columbus band, which will
play on the opponent side Of the
gridiron, or opponents own school
band.
Press BOX Improved
The press box improvements
have been completed. The box
has been repainted and redeco-

sport broadcasterS appear painted
on the seats. The press box is also
heated and has glass windows
in it.

sions at Killion Field on the upper

Sodded and is every bit as good

Freight trucking operations out
of Baltimore, mainly enroute to
Washington and Philadelphia,
was paralyzed today as a strike OF

cry Men and Helpers Union No.
355 spread throughout the city.
Instructed to peacefully solicit
passing truck drivers to join the
union," strikers were sent to the
principal highways leading out of
the city and several reports of VIC
lence were made to police.
Two Report Shots fired
Charles Weidepheimer, of Violet
vile, Md, driving q truck over the
WastingtoneB isimore Boulevard.
arrived here with the Windshield
of his vehicle shattered. He told
police he was shot by a striker
when he refused to stop.
Near Halethorpe, on the road,
another truck driver reported he
was fired upon by a striker, while
several other drivers complained
of being stoned near Elkridge, on
the road to Philadelphia.
Robert Neugebauer, a striker, ap-
peared at union headquarters with
two blackened eyes and reported
he had been beaten by a State pa
trolman near Elkridge. Police re-
ported that trucks were stopped
near Belair and keys taken from
the drivers. The keys were hurled
at policemen who came upon the
scene to quiet the trouble and the
strikers fled, it was reported.
One Striker Arrested
One arrest was made. Frank
Lambert, colored, a striker, was
arrested on a charge of assault
upon Edward Reynolds, also col
ored, a truck driver.
Leading truck operators an
nounced today they had sus-
pended operations almost entire
ly. Several reported they had re-
called trucks which were on the
road.
Harry Cohen, business agent of
the union, said the strike was
called because one company re-
fused to live up to an agreement
made with nine of the union
drivers. He declined to name the
company.
Trouble has been brewing for
more than a week. The strike was
called at a special meeting last
night, when between 400 and 500
members voted in favor.
