they came up with two runs, the Mats

1t really was pretty sad, but, like
the weather, apparently nothing can
be done about it. The Yanks simply

the second straight day and there
was nothing the Washingtons could
DO to keep the score respectable.

Only Ken Chase, the reformed wild
man from Chattanooga, could be
called effective. He held the Yanks

SCHOOL BUILDING
SLASH CRITICIZED
Citizen Groups Demand Thai
100000 Be Restored
for Northern Hiqh.

The Senate cut Of 500, 900 from the
$3.50 900 House appropriation for con-
struction Of new senior high school
at Fifth and Sheridan streets was
severely criticized yesterday by nearly
dozen citizens associations and civic
clubs as they started an organized
enort to have the original appropria-
tion upheld
The 100000 slashed by the Senate
subcommittee on District appropria-
tfons would divert that amount to 4
fund for erection Of q colored Junior
high school on the site Of the Baneker
Recreation Center.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
OF schools, has pointed out that the
cut, which he originally sanctioned,
was made in effort to preserve the 81
ratio for disbursement Of funds to
white and colored schools.
The section which would be served
by the school at Fifth and Sheridan
to be called Northern High-lies
north Of Petworth to the District line
and east to Rock Greek Park.
Ernest Pullman, president Of the
Manor Park Citizens Association and
spokesman for the group Of crganiza-
tions, said In . statement:
For many years the school authori-
ties have led our people to believe
they would be given high school in
this area, land for which was ac-
quired in 1891, but, from all appear
Ances, some influences have been at
work to defeat the realization of that
purpose.
Our group has made it plain In all
representations to the school authori-
ties and to Congress that it does not
object to an appropriation for the
school to which our money Is pro-
posed to be diverted, but We do insist
that . straight appropriation be made
for that project, to come out Of the
general revenue, the same as our
appropriation"
Pullman said nearly 1000 children
live in the area surrounding the pro-
posed school, some as far as two miles
from where they now attend classes,
The new building, he said, would
greatly relieve congestion at Roosevelt
and other high schools.
