Rovers Lose Franchise
By Using IneIiqibIes

Section B of the National City Base
ball League. one of the top Sunday
sandlot loops in the District, will op-
crate with only seven teams the rest
of the season instead of the eight
with which it originally started.
Ruling on protested game of last
Sunday. in which the Hahn Rovers
defeated Plaza Tile, President Vic
Gauzza not only awarded the game
to Plaza, but dropped Rovers from
the league. The charge against the
Rovers' team was that it used four
ineligible players under assumed
names. Previously. the Rovers had
lost all five of their games.

D. T.. and States
Will Learn Draft
Quota Credits Soon
Allowances Discussed
At National Guard
Conference Here

Credits allowed to the District of
Columbia and to States for contribu-
tons to the military and naval
establishments in calculating the
exact quota of selectees to be fur
nished under the draft will be dis
closed next week after the national
lottery.
This was made known today by
1t. Col. Lewis B. Hershey and other
officers from National Selective
Service headquarters at the annual
conference of the National Guard
Association of the United States
at the Washington Hotel
The total national credit. ex-
elusive of the National Guard, it was
announced, is 1,146,277. This will be
broken down to show the credits of
the States, Col Hershey explained.
But, he continued, the problem OF
distributing this credit among the
various counties or subdivisions, such
as local board areas, will be a prob
lem for States and counties. For
the present it is expected that this
ALLEGATION of credit can be figured
on the basis Of population.
How Credit Is Figured.
The total credit of more than a
million is built up from the men in
the Army. about $4,000: the Navy.
$4,000, and the marines, about
So 900.
District of Columbia draft boards
and those throughout the country
have speculated on how the quota
of selectees might be calculated.
In answer to a question as to
whether it would be possible for
county to have so many volunteers
in uniform that it would have to
send no selectees in the first call
Col. Hershey admitted that such a
thing might be possible. Some units
of the United States, he said, had
contributed far greater numbers of
men in proportion to their popula-
ton than others.
Meanwhile. the convention was
told by Chairman Snyder of House
appropriations subcommittee. that
he hoped aircraft production for de-
Tense could be speeded up eventual

Ski Porty
Makes reosure
Mountoin Run

Last Sunday ten members of the
Libby Ski Club made the trip to
Treasure mountain to look over pos
sibilitIes for a good ski hill. This
time they were more successful than
on the previous trip three weeks
ago for they succeeded in reach
ing the top of the proposed ski
run.
Four of the group made the trip
last year and the remainder of the
1910 party agreed that there was
no exaggeration in their story for
they found the hill much better than
they had expected. After hearing
Lee Harmon, Bob Larson and Dick
Hennessy tell about the place, hopes
had been built to a high pitch and
the party is now more enthused
about the possibilities of a second
Sun Valley than ever.
1t was agreed that with the proper
development Treasure mountain
could be made into ski resort that
would more than equal the Sun
Valley resort.
The party agreed that even though
the trip was quite hard. the fun they
had more than offset the hardship.
The sight of such a large expanse of
skiing territory SO close to Libby
was far beyond their expectations.
If more people in this community
would make the trip it is believed
that more interest would be shown
and great things could be developed
from the possibilities which nature
has placed at our doorstep
Those who made the trip were
Jim Christie, Lee Harmon. Alice
Larson, Dick Hennessy, Bob Larson,
Betty Richardson, John FINLAND,
John Ronning, Pete Ramlo, E. NJ.
Davidson and Merrill Tester. Mr..
Tester was mapping for location.
