4 A intents and purposes operating
on six-day week Monday has be-
come just = wash day and, sooner or
later, the leagues will get around to
leaving that day open for laundry
when manufacturing their schedules.
Since the middle of the season there
have been few games played on Mon
day because of the arrangement Of
synthetic double-headers to attract
Sunday crowd. Some of the magnates
regret the situation, but several clubs
have made such bargains hunters OF
their customers that Monday games
no longer pay expenses.
Too Many Bargain Bills.
MAJOR league teams are not per-
mitted to shift games for the
creation OF double headers during the
first few weeks of the season, but once
the time limit expires the majority
get busy with pencil and arrange bar
gain attractions. The two New York
clubs and Detroit are about the only
exceptions, but they have unusual
drawing strength.
The leagues may as well realize the
situation they have created and leave
Monday open for travel, when that IS
possible, or the playing OF postponed
games. That scheme is practical and
would eliminate the numerous open
dates, particularly those late in the
season. 1t also would be a boon to
players, for there is no question but
that da yof rest each week would
prove beneficial to many who are in
clined to slump during the hot Sum-
mer weeks.
Should night base ball become
prevalent In the ma iors-and one or
two more clubs are certain to play

natl Reds and st. Louis Cardinals will

that double header may be played

Sport Stunts

Hank Greenberg held up his left wrist.
 Does it look as thought there were anything wrong with it?" he asked. Its actually bigger than my right wrist That's because of the exercises I have been giving it.
 Try squeezing this rubber ball for a few minutes and you'll see how tired your hand gets Feel that pull on the tendons in your wrist? That gives you some idea of what exercise can do for you, if prac- ticed religiously."
 Greenberg learned pall-squeezing from Gene Tunney. The retired champion heavyweight champion used it to develop his wrists. So did many another boxer. Tommy Gib- bons was the first fighter we ever saw squeezing a rubber ball. Tom- my swore by the exercise, insisting it was the secret of the snap that made his punches so effective.

RINGERS CLOSE ALLEY TOURNEY
 IN HIGH STYLE
Treetoads Make Mighty Ef- fort to Clinch Circuit Title
 Tie with Armadillos

Closing their campaign in burst of glory, all Ringers were pres ent and accounted for at the Elks alleys last night and laid down a final barrage in which all but one of the dozen and a half rollers levelled more than half a thousand pins each.
 With unorIlclal raulngs putting them one game ahead of the Arma- dillos on the road to the circuit title, the -tcads shot their full bolt last night in an effort to score the sweep over the Crocodiles that would have clinched the crown for them. But they got off to slow start while Mike Ugrin and his rep tile aides broke fast and the Tree toads found that they had dropped the opening game, before they could swing into full stride.
 Once in full stride though, the Toads leaped high and swept through the following two games to run up the high team game and match totals of the evening, 605, and 1,722. The lowest mark rolled by a Treetoad was the 567 rolled by Paul Regal. Jack Elliott bettered that by six pins and Fred Henning came out next to top for the eve ming with a set total of 586, just one pin less than the first-place mark-credited to Mike Ugrin. ~
 Ugrin was all-around high man of the night, collecting first place in the singles also, with a game of 225, which topped Nick Bavards runner-up mark by three pins.
 The loss of their first game, ac- cording to unofficial records, throws the Tree-toads into a tie for the Ringer Circuit Championship; each trio having dropped nine games. Plans are now being laid for a play off match between the two. top threesomes to determine the occu- pant of the throne.
 The second Ringer match last evening saw the Badgers take two of three games from the Mustangs, while the closing event of the Rin- ger tournament went to Alligators. who took the first and third rounds of their bout with the Uniforms and tied with the spike-nosed broncs in their middle encounter.
 There will be no tournament bowl Ing at the Elks this evening, but Monday night the Rockies will hold their final pin session of the season.

the injury was fully healed. On the few occasions this winter when he had swung bat the wrist had felt perfectly supple and strong. Hank laughed at the suggestion the injury to his wrist might be traced to his failure to get the full benefit of training sessions, because he had held out for more money
 There's nothing to that" he in- sisted. "The injury was an acci- dent, pure and simple. It could have happened anytime, to any, body.
 Here's how it came apout. ln-re was a late throw that faded over to the baseline. My arm was taut to the elbow My gloved palm was turned upward. Jake Powell ran into my arm when there was no give to it. The bone snapped at the wrist. Condition had nothing to do with that"
 Hank entered training full of hope.
 The '37 American League race? Don't think the New York Yankees will make runaway of the race this year" he commented. "As matter of fact, I'm not even pick ing them to repeat. The Tigers are going to have something to say about that.

in the conference.
The conference took up the ques-
ton of the safety for children on

lis from leaving the bus in making
the trip from the school to their
homes, the question of getting in and
out of the buses, of putting arms out
of the buses, of crowding so as not to
allow proper seating were discussed.
Of special interest was the discus
sion for enforcement of the law pro-

Final plans for the clinic were
completed at meeting of the Legion

committee in Kensington. Approx.
mately 35 children are expected tt
attend for examinations.
Lawrence R. Smoot, chairman oil
the committee, said his group is max
ing every effort to contact families
in which there are children who might
be benefited by clinical examinations
and treatment. The seven county
legion posts, located in widely scat.
tered sections of the county, are serv.

Auditors Favor
More Systematic
County Records
Urge Changes In Tax Setup;
Delegations Before Com
missiOners

A general reassessment of all
Montgomery County taxable prop
erty, simplification of tax rates, and
modernization of the county book
keeping system are among recon-
mendations contained in report filed
Tuesday with the board of county
commissioners by the auditing firm
of Wooden & Benson, of Baltimore.
The auditors, who have just COM
pleted three months inspection of
the county records, opened their re-
port by declaring that "due to the
condition of the records and lack of
systematic routine and method of col
lecting and summarizing information,
it was not possible to satisfactorily
audit your books" The report added,
however, that the examination had
failed to disclose any instance where
county funds had been improperly
handled.
Division of the county into two Sec
tons, rural and suburban, was sug-
gested by the auditors as step to-
ward simplifying the tax setup. There
are now II different tax rates in the
county, the report said, which is un-
paralleled in the State of Maryland.
In addition it was asserted that a
large amount of personal property
and securities are not placed on the
tax books.
Opinion was expressed that the

Schick Testing To
Start This Week
In County Schools
Health Department Will Seek
To Ward Off Diphtheria
Germs

The County Health Department
will begin it's yearly schedule OF
Schick testing of elementary school
children on Wednesday, January
9th. Work will start in Rockville
and will cover all trouble in the
county before June.
"The proper time to protect q
child against diphtheria is early in
the pre-school age. This work among
school children therefore represents,
in sense, a delayed service. 1t Is
done as a check to see which chill
dren have not yet had sufficient
NEGOTIATIONS to make them immune
Last year the tests showed less than
half to be protected, according to
Health Department.
A week after each group of chill
dren is Schick tested, the tests are
read as either Negative or positive.
The negative children are immune
and are given no further inocula-
tions. The positive children are
given an incubation of toxoid either
by their own physician or by the
Health Department. They are asked
to have another Schick test in sew
eral months or years time.
Montgomery County had so cases
OF diphtheria last year. The fact
that 25 Of these were over twelve
years of age shows that previous
work in diphtheria immunization is
bringing results. There is still far
too much diphtheria in the county,
however, and the thing that is feared
most is that more cases will occur
among unprotected pre-school chill
dren. It is in this age that the
disease is so apt to be fatal.

New Tax Sources
Big Problem Now
Before Legislature
Gov. Nice Puts Matter Up To
Assembly; No More
Cushion Fund.-

The members of the Maryland
General Assembly win be principally
concerned for the next few weeks
with the problem of finding new tax
sources. Governor Nice this week
dropped the matter in the lap of the
legislature, contenting himself with
an outline of suggested possibilities.
That bugaboo, the 2 per cent sales
tax, again looms before the public
together with such novel ideas as an
annual So tax ON radio receiving
sets, q tax on dog-racing and q
2-cent tax on magazines, periodicals
and weekly newspapers. All of these
proposals are suggested by Governoq
Nice as sources for raising an "if'
budget increase of over $4,000, 600
for the next two fiscal years.
It was conceded generally among
those legislators who expressed de
termination to discontinue highway
fund diversion that there would b
no effort made to increase the tax
alton on rael estate by raising tn,
present levy from 22A cents.
Approximately $500, 900 is divertet
each year from roads to genera
funds in the budget before thu
Assembly. This amounts to approx
mately 10 cents on the State ia,
rate. Such an increase is considered
impossible.
This is the first time in nearly 1
generation, it was recalled by ok
hands in the Legislature, that thu
matter of getting a budget init
shape it doesn't suit them-hal
