There will be baseball and COM

tain raiser, and the show you can't
afford to miss, will be an old
mans baseball game between
teams from the east end and the

haScballs, whiskcrS, dust and YER

from thirty-fvc to eighty, but all
are stars of yester-year.
They belong in that era of
Cobb. Speaker. Hornsby, Alexan-
der. Fabcr, Walter Johnson, Joe
Jackson and others. And while
they have doubtless slowed up,
they still have the spark, the
urge, the heart and the eye. You
may laugh and you may weep
over the plight Of some Of those
old-timerS, but you won't regret
York batsmcn only got seven hits
off Ross. Williams and Potter, but
they made all Of them count. Di-
Maggie and Heinrich homercd for
the Yanks; Finney for the AS.
The Boston Red Sox shellcd two
pitchers for l6 hits to give young
Jim Bagbv his fifth victory, Ill
over the Washington Senators.
The Sox hits totalled 25 bases.
Foxx and Vosmik paced the at
tack, each getting three hits and
driving in three runs. Bagby scat
tered six safcties to the Senators.
Jack Knott held the st. Louis
Browns to four hits and the Chi
cago White Sox knocked Buck
Ncwsom from the box with a five
run cluster in the fourth to beat

The association commended Dis
trict Commissioners for their efforts
to reduce traf1ic accidents, especially
the regulation prohibiting parking
within so feet from intersections.
Market Parking Urged.
President Robert Lyons authorized
Mr.. Wasson to present a proposal to
the Federation and the District Corr
missioners to provide special parking
space in an area from the site of No. 8
precinct station to Twentieth street
NV. for business vehicles connected
with the West End Market in view of
the contemplated widening of K street.
The plan calls for erection of a new
precinct station at the corner OF

The association voted to notify
proper officials Of the need for a
fence around a parkway between
Pennsylvania avenue, / street and
Twentieth and Twenty-flrst streets.
Replacement Of trees in the vlcin-

PARKING IS ASKED
West End Citizens Call for
Elimination Between
! Am. and 6 A.M.

A proposal to ban automobile park.
ing on the city streets between | am
and 6 am. was approved last nigh,
by the West End Citizens Association
as possible solution for lowering
traffic accidents. Planned as an ex.
pertinent in more populous area, spe.
clflcally west of North Capitol street
to Rock Creek parkway and south OF
Florida avenue, the measure aims
for construction Of single or multiple
garages which would relieve the park
ing problem
Walter F. WaSson, who drafted the
resolution at the first meeting of the
association in Hidden Hall, pointed
out that such a law would abolish
continuous parking of "a to 4S hours, II
which he has observed as prevalent in
the District, and thus provide space
for out-of-town visitors and CONNER
cial vehicles. Elimination of double
parking would reduce one major traf-
flc hazard and at the same time
would encourage trade. he declared
Construction of municipal garages
would provide additional revenue for
the city and increase employment,
according to Mr.. Wasson.
Claims Policing Impossible.
Grover Ayers. committee member
of the association. stated that the
Police, Department should not be
blamed for present parking ills in
