FOR MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION

First of all, would like to substant1ase ny own
well-founded opinion that Capital Transit Company
won't rni sh Greenbelt vi tn adequate transport
alton. They have already stated that under
circumstances will they give Greenbelt limited
service. That means We will ee5 tasE be served BY
the Be1tsv111e car line extended bus service
from East Rtverdale. Over either Of these two
lines it Will require i to i hours for person
in ereenbe1t to get to the federal Triangle in
Washington where large part of Greenbelt residents
work. This is not adequate service. When it 1s
plain that a MUM cipa1 could carry passen-
ger to this in one-half Of the time thus
saving Il to hours Of wasted time each day vi thout
the need Of transfers. That L. adequate service.
Aren't lines from Virginia and another part Of Mary
land serving thousands Of people adequately daily
wi thout transfers.. Much emphasis has been placed
this transfer privilege when in reality it speaks
i'll Of any transit system that requires people to
transfer two times to get to the heart Of
town. Consider position If they serve
continuously with shuttle bus service to Rerw
the East Riverda1e line. In order 70 get the
Federal Triangle without transferring twice person
would have to leave his house at 1880 in the morning
to get to the Bureau Of Engraving by 900. Is that
adequate transportation when 1t doesn't take any
time to travel from Bal tmoe destination
and which also means travelling three times farther
than travel dai1y7
Mr.Bordenet claims that a municipal service would
cost to the patrons. He certainly is not Bas-
ing his opinion any facts, because have enough
concrete data to prove 1t will cost less. main
tain that municipal service Nth a route that
the Federal Triangle as far west as 2lst
Street, N. ". would at least 500 Of
dents. also maintain that at 81. so for IL trips
"a round trip daily for six days) there would be
su111c1ent revenue to operate municipal service
with service during the day besides. that
is what the people Of ereenbelt need from both q
practical and economical standpoint.
As proof that Mr.. Bordenet has not seriously con-
sidered the facts about mum cipal service
his second point Of criticism that a municipal
service would Of necessity all the way into
Warrington esunably all the time. This, Is true
Of the rush hour trips. That would be the back
bone Of the service. but not Of the trips during
the day when they could be limited to the district
13raf w%& T~n-
could 60 anywhere in Washington for less fare than
Capital Transit is charging, and in many cases in
less time.
As third point Of argument Nr. Dordenet claims
that the trips during the day would be few
20 keep costs Low. It Is quite plain that at
least four fu11-tine drivers would be required to
ne1p maintain an adequate service and that
BY Law they are required to continuous number
OF hours In vtsw Of the fact that they will be on

 @. When and where was the last ban on Sunday baseball in the major leagues removed?
 A. In 1884, for the sfirst time in history, all baseball clubs of both the National and American leagues were able to play Sunday games at home. The voters of Pennsylvania at the election November 1, 1883, passed 8 referendum permitting the sport on the Sabbath and thereby removed the last obstacle for an even distribution of Sunday dates to all major league cities.
 O. How much did Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey weigh for their fight in which Fulton was knocked out in about IS seconds.
 AFulton weighed POS and Demp- sey 188 pounds. The fight. staged at Harrison, N. J., July 27, 1918, ended after IS and 3-5 seconds of the first round.
 @. Was the John L. Sullivan Jake Kilrain heavyweight title bout fought in the open on an unusually hot day?
 A. The fight was staged in the open, under a broiling sun, with the temperature well over hundred de- grees. Both men were nearly eX- hausted when the contest was stopped at the end of seventy-five rounds and Sullivan declared the winner on points.
 o. Was Benny Leonard ever knocked down for a count in any fight during his reign as lightweight champion?
 A. In his fight with Charley White, July 5, 1920, at Benton Har- bor, Michigan, Leonard was knocked through the -opes by a left hook and half push from White, and took a count of four before scrambling back into the ring.
 0. During their major league careers, how many stolen bases and how many base hits were credited respectively to Max Carey and George Sisler?
 A. Exclusive of world series games, Carey had 687 stolen bases and 2,541 hits; Sisler had 368 stolen bases and 2,552 hits.

PLAYOFF SERIES
 SET WEDNESDAY,
Reym0nd Hillies Out to Re- tire Martin ScuIly Tro-
 phy; Gents Ready

First of two-out- of three series Co decide the 1938-39 champiI nship of the Washington Park Commu- nity House basketball league will be played tomorrow night at the Washington Hill White House, with the Raymond Hillies meeting the Gents of the Hill.
 The Hillies, having defeated the Gents three times this season, twice In regular games, and last Friday in the playof for the second round honors. are confident of winning the title and retiring the Martin Scully trophy. The Gents won the league first round.
 Having won the title the past two years, the Hillies can take over the scully trophy, which requires three consecutive championships. The second playoff game will unfold Friday night. In the event of necessity of third game, the date will be fixed later.
 Aiming to find a clicking com- bination that will lift the so-called Jinx which the Hillies maintain over the Gents, the latter went through a stiff workout last night at the Community house.
 Referees Johnny Mccormack and Jim Tracy, who kept the game moving speedily last week, will toot whistles tomorrow night.

 FINAL STAND
Loss to Boston Bruins Tonight Eliminates
 Them
(By United Press)

The New York Rangers make a last ditch stand against being knocked over in four straight by the Boston Bruins tonight while Detroit and Toronto begin their semi final playoff in the ice-hockey world series.
 The Bruins, called the greatest team in hockey history by their Manager Art Ross, are favored to eliminate the Rangers who again will be without their star goalie. Dave Kerr, who was injured in the first game of the best-of-seven series.
 A victory will send the Bruins to the final where they will meet the winner of the Red Wings-Maple Leafs best-of- -three-series which be- gins in Toronto tonight. Toronto was the third-place club of the National Hockey League and conquered the furth place New York Americans, in two straight, and Detroit, fifth flnisher, needed three games to eliminate Montreai's $ Canadiens, who wound up in sixth place with the final playoff posi- tion.
 Second game of the Red Wing Maple Leaf series will be played in Detroit Thursday night, and the third, if necessary, in Toronto, Sat- urday night.
 If the Rangers win tonight, they will meet the Bruins in the fifth game of the series in Boston Thurs day night.

ing only the interests of small
clique.
IF this war should last three
years, we will have something to
say about that, too" he added, land
at the end of that time there will
not come he word: capitulation."
Scornfully, Hitler said:
80 there are people who now say:
let us make war for three years.
Those who drive millions to
death have no conscience"
Hitler declared that Germany
and Russia had agreed that the
Polish state as known since the
World War would not be revived.
I'VE guarantee that" he said.
If the war lasts three years, ne
said, he could only fel sorry for the
French. He thanked the German
people for their service and courage
and their enthusiasm of the soul"
during the last few weeks.
I'VE do not need any hurrah pat
riotism," he exclaimed. Hitler said
that the German armies had tried
to avoid any attacks that would en-
danger women and children, but he
added that there may have been
situations" which made that impos-
Sible.
Hitler said that he himself was
ready to make any sacrifice.
Referring to the attitude Of Great
Britain, he said that the British
should have been happy that Ger
many and the Soviets reached an
agreement"
I'VE have relieved the pressure OF
uncertainty" he said. They (the
English) should be relieved to hear
that we do not want: the urals or
the Ukraine"
II said that Germany would never
capitulate," the Fuehrer declared.
II was venomously denounced by the
democracies, which are free to In
cite war. That Is why I decided to
unmask these criminals before the
German nation"
The Fuehrer said that "the future
composition of the Polish state is
now in the hands Of Germany and
Russia"
Concluding his speech at 500 p.
m. Q:29 p. m. EDIT Hitler said:
To-day, I fulfill the promises I
made myself not to come to Danzig
until I came as your liberator."
A great chorus arose from the
crowd as 1t shouted its thanks.
"Danzig shall never leave the
Reich again." Hitler went on. DAN
zig was German, Danzig remained
German and from now on Danzig
shall remain German forever.
"All parts of the Reich are now
united. Great Germany Sieg He'll

BOARD OF WORKS
MEETING TONIGHT

The Board of Works, scheduled to
meet tonight, my take up the ques-
ton of the power of appointment
of the superintendent of streets.
The status of Herbert Scott-Smith,
appointed by Mayor Patrick Per-
relic to serve as acting superin-
tendent of streets, is slated for dis
cussion.
The situation is complicated by
the fact that Mr.. Scott-Smith's APP
pointment was only as acting" su-
perintendent. 1t Is reported that
the mayor may soon either appoint
him or recommend that the works
board appoint him as regular head
Of the department.
Several sewer assessment hearings
will be held by the works board to-
night.
