DOUGLAS BEATS
 MOOSE IN EIGHT
 INNING CONTEST
Game, Final One of First Half, Is Thrilling Con-
 test Good Plays

After knotting the count in the sixth, to send the game into extra innings, Douglas last night pushed across the winning tally in the eighth frame to take the measure of the Moose, 3 to 2, in the best ball game of the season to date.
 Last evenings final first half contest treated a good crowd of ball fans at the Juneau ball park to plenty of hitting by the Islanders, featuring a homer, two triples and Q double, and errorleSs fielding by the Moose. Hurlers Paine and Jen- sen, for Douglas, allowed but three singles to the Paps, while the Is land lads were garnering eleven nice bungles off Converse, on the mound for the Black SoX. Converse, how ever, kept the safeties well scat tered among nine strikeouts and re- ceived excellent support from his teammates to keep the game a tight affair throughout.
 Outstanding on the Moose defense were the ground-covering and ball. handling of shortstop Earl For sythe, who handled six chances flaw lessly, two of them well out of his territory, the throwing to bas S bases of catcher Tex" Hawkins, who picked off two attempted steals at second to get the Blacklegs out of a very tough spot in the sixth, and kept the Island base trampers close to their bags, and nice "hot corner" play by Moval Leading

the Douglas attack were Mark Jen- sen with a three-baser and two sin gles in four trips, Deacon Paine with a two-bagger, a one-bagger and a stroll, Big Andy" Andrews with circuit clout and one-baser and Dick Mcdonald who connected for a single and a triple.
 Andrews opened the scoring and the second inning by dropping one over the right field fence into Gold Creek for four bases. Mcdonald went down and Paine followed with double but died on second. The Moose came right back to even the score on their half Moval led off with a single and went to third when Andrews muffed Frodle's heave to first to double Moval after catching Hawkins little popup Grummett drove him home.
 Forsythe made a swell stop and throw in the third, but Jensen beat it to first where he died. A single by Fritz Schmidt in the Moose halt was spoiled when he was doubled off first on Converse's short fly to Bonner.
 The Paps went into a one run lead in the fourth. Forsythe open ed with a drive that went right into the Mcdonald mitt for one out but two walks, juggle by Roller and a passed ball by Frodle let Mo- val across with his second marker before Paine retired the side. For sythe furnished the action in the fifth with another nice play on a ground drive to between deep short and third. Jensen changed places with Paine, taking over the pitching chores when the Paps came to bat to hurl excellent ball for the rest of the game and get credit for the win.
 Jensen opened the sixth with a three bagger, Erskine walked but was thrown out by Hawkins trying to steal second. Andrews singled to count Jensen with the tieing tally Mcdonald forced Andrews and went to third on Paine's safety, where ht stayed when Hawkins repeated tC throw Paine going to second.

AIRPORT BODY
SEES SUCCESS

Members of the District Airport
Site Commission believe that their
efforts will result in definite &C
ton at the next session Of Con-
greSS and that the result Of their
work will meet with approval"
This was the expression of one
Of the commission members today,
as they await the meeting next
Wednesday, when the agenda Of
procedure for the group will be
adopted.
While most Of the members Of
the commission from the House
and Senate expect to be out Of
the city during the greater part Of
the summer, there will be intermit-
tent meetings during the con-
greSSional recess and the experts
which are to be chosen to work
with the commission will be at
work through the summer months.
The commission will have to
SETTLE the question of whether the
cost Of the project will have to be
borne by the District or the Fed
eral Government or both. This
issue will cause no little amount
of worry, since there are members
Of Congress as well as the commits
sion who have very definite ideas
on both sides Of this subject.

Today, for the first time in his

Convent was to be thrown open to

The event, one Of the features
of the annual Georgetown Garden

Among other beauty spots shown

TO REVOKE
LICENSE
Authority Of Officials
Extended to Include
Out-of-T own Drivers

If Representative Marion Zion
check of Washington, whose speed
ing exploits here and along the
Atlantic Coast have become ma
tional news, is convicted again on
one of those 70-mile-an-hour
charges, he can be debarred from
operating an automobile in the Dis
trict of Columbia, under the terms
Of bill which became a law today
by the Presidents signature.
The President signed the bill
which authorizes the Director Of
Traffic in the District of Columbia
to revoke or suspend the driving
permits Of out-of-town drivers who
operate cars here by virture Of a
driving permit from another State.
When, as and if the Traffic Di.
rector SuspendS the State license
Of an out-of-town motor vehicle
operator, he also is directed to COM
municate with the State authori.
ties in the case and inform them
what he has done.
The change in the law, which
has been advocated strongly by
District authorities as well as by
motor vehicle associations, now
gives the District Government the
right to bar reckless drivers from
other States who have been i'm
mune from such discipline because
Of the lack Of authority in the Dis
trict law.
Outrof-town drivers, convicted of
violating traffic regulations, par
ticularly speed regulations, have
been taken to court and fined;
but they have been able to con.
tinue driving no matter how flag.
rant their violations because the
authorities here could not stop
them from operating an automo-
bile. That is what happened in
the case Of Representative Zion
chek, of Washington.
The enactment of this new law
is hailed with satisfaction by a
majority Of WaShingtonianS, it is
revealed today, because it removes
e 1ong-Standing inequity in the
local driving situation and gives
the police authority to remove
from the streets of Washington
speeders who have been entirely
outside the law, as far as permit
revocation has been concerned.

STRIKE IN AUTO
TRADE WAITS
ON FARLEY
Conference on Waqe
Demand Set for
Next Monday

A weekend truce in Washing
tons automobile mechanic strike
was declared today when Oliver
Garrison, business agent for the
union, announced no more men
would be called out pending a con-
ference next Monday.
This announcement followed a
conference held today with How
ard T. Colvin, conciliator of the
Labor Department, and attended
by David Kaplan, director Of re-
search of the International Asso-
citation of Mechanics.
Dealers Called
Mr.. Garrison denied reports that
the objective of the strike was a
closed shop, stating that question
was not at issue. The only issue,
he said, is living wage for the
mechanics. This is defined as 80
cents an hour for a 44-hour week.
Recognizing the Automotive
Trade Association as representing
the dealers of the District, Mr..
Garrison requested that organize
ton to enter into negotiations on
wages and hours.
At the same time, with rumors
that strike breakers will be
brought here from other cities, an
appeal was made to car owners
to have only qualified mechanics
work on their machines.
Purpose Explained
Prior to the meeting today Mr..
Garrison asserted that he intends
to order strikes in every shop
where dealers refuse to aneliorate
wage and hour ABUSES" He de.

"The strike is not aEmea ut

ing conditions do not meet the
union standards.

terms, we strike"
More than 100 workers from
the six shops affected to date held
q mass meeting at Pythian Tenn
pie last night in answer to the
>open-Shop ultimatum issued a few
days ago by the Automotive Trade
Association with which most Of
the dealers are affiliated. Reso-
lutions supporting the strike aims
and condemning the dealers atti-
tude were passed.
