American League
Leaders Dumped;
Cincy Wins One

NEW YORK, Aug. TO- CUP) =
The first three teams in the Amer
ican league will testify today that
the club with an attitude of "ev-
erything to gain and nothing to
lose" makes for tough opposition.
The leading Detroit Tigers, the
runner-up Cieve:,nd Indians and
the third place Boston Red Sox
all fell yesterday before clubs not
given more than mathematical
chance of copping the pennant.
Clipped for five runs by the
Boston Red Sox in three innings,
the Washington Senators came
from behind to score a ninth inn
ing, 6-5 victory. Relief pitcher Joe
Heving filled the bases by walk
ing Buddy Myer in the ninth and
then forced in the tying run with
another walk. Rick Ferrell won
the game WITH a fly that went
over Roger Cramer's head in left
field.
The Tigers went down before the
Chicago White Sox, 80, before
36,713. Ed Smith, portly Chicago
southpaw. held the Tigers to five
hits and then after two unearned
Tiger runs had tied the score in
the seventh, he began the winning
rally in the ninth. He led off with
a single, advanced on a sacrifice
and went home on Mike Kree-
.vich's double.
The hard playing st. Louis
Browns handed Cleveland costly
defeat, As, before 1883. The In
dians had the game almost in the
bag. leading 80 going into the
home half of the seventh with Mel
Harder apparently in control. st
Louis scored once in their half
of the seventh, however, and then
tied it on Walt Judnich's 21St homer
with one on. In the ninth, Cliff
doubled, Harder was yanked in ia
vor of Eisenstat, Heffner bunted
safely and Swift won the game
with single.
The Yanks found the Yankee
stadium welcome relief after
their stormy road trip C won, IL
lost for one of the worst records
in Yankee history and came up
with 20 triumph over the Ath-
letics. But the hard luck iinX kept
trailing the YankS in victory as
Red Ruffing, who started the game
pulled muscle in his left hip and
had to retire in the third Ruff
ing allowed one hit and Steve Sun
dra, who relieved HIM, gave UP
only one more during the last six
and two-thirds innings.
Cincinnati Kept its five-game
National league lead intact with
a 7-2 night game victory over st
Louis before 28,325. Gene Thomp.
son, out of action since he wa.
spiked on July 90, hurled an eigh
hitter for his 11th win.
The Pittsburgh Pirates replaced
the Cubs in fourth place, just twt
games away from the Giants, b,
scoring their eighth straight win
6-2, over the Bruins in a nigh
game played before 29,978. Ri
Sewell held the Cubs to four hit
for his fourth straight and 1Otl
win.

Ritter famed eight batters ands
only one earned run on
seven scattered hits in Friday
nights game but two miscues IN
the first inning and one in the
tenth gave San Diego three extra
scores and a one-run victory.
San Diego counted three times
in the first inning when Ellis
dropped a throw from Coates for
what would have been the second
out of the inning, then booted a
throw from Sandez on double
play ball to allow two runs to
score a moment later.
Ritter bottled the San Diegans
effectively the rest of the way
until the tenth innings when En-
sign started the inning by singing
to right. Ensign went to third on
an infield out and scored when
Priest dropped a throw from Rit-
ter on a dribbler.
The valley hitters were stopped
for five innings by Speedy Cole of
San Diego but tailed twice in the
sixth when Van Ndstrand and
webster connected for successive
hits and scored on first base
error.
The valley sluggers knotted the
count in the eighth when Sande2
singled to start the inning. Var
Nostrand walked and Webster
doubled to left field. Cole made
Ehmke, Eddis and Williams por
up to end the inning, however.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN
COMPETE WITH PLAYS

mThe Place of Creative Drama in Our School"
the subject of the discussion and program of the
meeting of the Parent-Teacher Associat held Feb
ruary 70.
A contrast between formal and creative dramatics
afforded by demonstrations of each type and dis
cussion following the presentations. Under the di
rection of Mrs. Claire Warner the parents offered
short play in which lines learned, business
planned, and other "formalities" observed and
carried out. Mrs. Margaret Miller and Mrs. Isobel
Herick handled the most important roles with def
mite success.
To illustrate the field of creative dramatics,
the children of grades five, six, and present.
ed their Interpretation of the story of sold Pipes
and the nyad" by Frank Stockton. Most of the cast
was selected the spot, with Fay Freeman and
Dorothy Wood sharing the part of the old mother,
Richard Somers Old Pipes, 1heo Trewhella the
Dryad, and hari1yn Marn the most vocal of the
dwarfs.
The merriest point Of the evening occurred when
of the parents and teachers attempted Guido
the children in their play.
The discussion concerning the merits of each type
of decentralization emphasized the sponaneiy and free
dom Of expression which characterize creative drama
tics, and the literary value of formal drama plus
the certainty of following through the point of the
author.

WALNUT HILL RECEIVES
MILK BUYING CONTRACT

A gratifying example of the interest of local

held in the Social Room at the school Friday
evening, February %, for the purpose of discussing
the milk question. More than 300 citizens attended,

ments of the state ordinance.
Benjamin Ketcham, presiding, opened the meet
ing with brief statement Of the purpose of the
meeting, and then asked Mrs. Carnie Harper, Chair
Of the Maryland Milk Buyers Club, to conduct the
proceedings. The members Of the committee which
represented the Club then participated in a round
table discussion of the various phases Of the milk
question, the problems which had been encountered
and antici pated, the necessity for concerted
action by the c4ti2eny, and the aims and purposes
of the group
Mrs. Harper announced that all Of the dairies
serving Greenbelt and surrounding had been in
vited to attend conferences and submit bids milk
and other dairy products, and that the award had

had been selected to the members of the Club,
and the fact that its agreement and local milk reg
lations assured the members of the highest quality
milk possible. It further warned the MEMBERS against
price-cutting and similar practices which light be
resorted to in effort to disorganize the group,
and requested that members of the group maintain its
solidarity by referring all complaints to the CON-
mittee.
Questions and open ID scusa then became the
der of the day, and the meeting concluded with the

Oakland Physician
Denies Charges Made

Accused in warrant of molesting
women in his office, DR.. Cliff P. Ber-
ger, of Oakland, was arrested by
county authorities last Friday after
noon, and was released under bond
for his appearance at the September
grand jury term.
DR.. Berger emphatically denies the
charges, terming them vicious and
unwalranted, but made no further
comment. DR.. Berger's attorney, Wal
ter W. Dawson, also refused to make
any statement other than the fact that
a thorough investigation was being
made to determine the reasons and
motives back of the charges against
one of Oakland's newer physicians.
DR.. Berger came here from Water
ford, Va, about two years ago to take
over the practice of the late DR.. H. w.
McComas.
The warrant for Dr. Berger's arrest
was issued upon information furnished
by Mrs. Ruby Elliott, of near Hut
ton.
