GOOD ARMS GONE
The departure OF Vince Di-
Maggie and Gene Moore. two of
the best throwers and defensive
ouefielders in the league. and the
benchlng OF Shortstop Rabbit
Warstler definitely hurts the Bees.
In passing IL might be mentioned
that DiMaggio, despite his weak
batting average. hit II home runs
and was second in driving in runs
on the club.
The Bees have smart but
aging pitching staff which is not
effective at home where the wind
blows in off the Charles river and
brings those long flies down into
easy outs. The slow infleld cuts
down the speed OF ground balls.
Four of the Bees best hurlers are

isn't likely to give the Bees as
much pitching as they had a year
ago. They have got TO have bang

Site for School
Up for Discussion

Action will be taken tomorrow on
a recommendation for a site other
than Fourteenth and Upshur streets
NV. for the proposed new Abbott
Vocational School at the closing
meeting of the season of Midcity
Citizens Association.
Frank B. Hoffman, chairman of the
Schools Committee for the group,
said that the location change was
contemplated since the Fourteenth
street location has been opposed by
other civic groups in the area. Pet
worth Citizens Association, one of
those to oppose the site, objected on
grounds that Wilson Teachers Col
lege and several public recreational
facilities which are already scheduled
for the property of the old tuberculo-
sis sanitarium will occupy sufficient
space without the addition of a large
vocational school.
Midcity is also expected to vote
on street repair needs in the down.
town area. A survey in collabora-
ton with the Police Department has
been in progress during the past
month and the special committee as
signed will offer a report on it's
findings. Capt. Jerry Sullivan of
No. 2 precinct and Capt. J. E. Bobo
of No. 13 are to speak on the matter.
The meeting is to be held in Room
