York Veteran
 Toed Slab For Braves In 1907
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor


 York, Pa, Sept. 6.-The Boston Nationals picked Thomas Edward George of the Washington and Lee campus in 1907.
 The Browns drafted Lefty George in 1911 and traded him to Cleveland for George Stovall, the Firebrand, in 1912. George got his third major league chance with the Reds in 1915, when he white washed the immortal Christy Mathewson and the Giants, 40. The Braves took another look at George in 1918.
 George, a grandfather, retired from professional baseball in 1894, but here he is back winning for York of the Class B Interstate league at the age of 54 be- ginning the second phase of his diamond career at an age when Joe McGinnity, the games most famous iron man, turned to the rocking chair for comfort.
 And Rudy HulSwitt, the old big league inf1elder managing the York Red Roses, wouldn't be sur- prised to see Grandpappy George back with the Bees before the end of the season. York is a subsidiary of the Boston club.
 George has as much stuff as he ever had" says Hulswitt, who had the old bloke in Columbus in 1916.

the guests-you will be the hosts:
There will be a good dinner, and
over it we shall try to persuade
Mr.. Hazeldeane to talk. We shall,
explain the good rewards If he
does-also the unpleasant penalties
if he does not. Then, after dinner,

Miss Coral we shall leave behind.
Then, when we have gone, YOU

"Possibly it WILL" Gun agreed.

little weakness of mine" And then,
on the spur of the moment: Il
was thinking perhaps it would be
better if, after you have gone, we
three went for a stroll in the gar
den, and I left them there. There
is a little moon now, at about that
time-and much a be done in a
garden with a little moonlight"
Otto laughed.
Good, good. You are quite right,
Mr.. Gunston. I can see that you
have brains-which is, perhaps, as
we'll. For I hope you understand
that if we do not get what we
want, it will be the end of YOU
Quite the end"
"Oh, I understand! Sort Of dos
eats dog business"
And so we need not be keeping
you longer. Tomorrow we shall
meet again.
Gun realized he was being dis
missed. He realized also that Coral
had been watching him with a cur
rious expression on her face all
through the interview. He decided
that there was something about
Miss Coral he did not understand.
Once again, at parting, she
pressed his hand and looked, for a
split second, right into his eyes.

we cannot afford to waste it. You

who reported last March. This was

has resulted in several develop
ments. One was a $50, 900 appropria.
ton for the new children's pro-
tective service. Report is being
used as q basis for proposed new
legislation for improved child well
fare program In the District. One
OF the suggestions in the Kepecs
report, for new receiving home
for children, was not adopted, but
now is the subject of investigation
by the Public Health Subcommittee
OF the House District Committee.
These surveys are regarded at the
District Building as among the most
valuable ever made, although only
portion Of the recommendation
as yet nave been adopted.
Public Welfare Studies.
Public welfare in the District haa
been the subject Of many studies.
At che most recent investigation
by the House District Committee,
Robert E. Bondy, director of public
welfare, referred to "unmet needs"
as having been well known and
under study for years."
To the committee he exhibited
IS reports, which had been made
by committees of the Board of Pub
lie Welfare to the board itself.
A comprehensive study Of park
problems in the District was made
for Secretary of Interior Ickes by
Charles G.. Sauers, superintendent
of the Cook County preserve district
of Illinois, and H. G. Wagner,
director-secretary Of the Akron
(Ohio) metropolitan park district,
whose salaries were paid by the
Interior Department. Their report,
made public last November, is being
studied by officials Of the depart
ment with a view to determining
whether any action should be taken.
At the request Of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, the National Recreation Asso-
citation in 1884 sent Lebert H. Weir,
expert, to Washington for survey OF
recreation. His plan for unification
of recreation In the city has been
followed by partial consolidation Of
agencies-the Playground Depart.
ment and Community Center De-
partment have been united.
A traffic study that failed to re-
suit in action was the so-called
McClintock survey, made by an ex-
pert from Detroit. Principal pro-
posal was that each new Govern.
ment building erected should con-
tain garage space for housing auto
mobiles of employees in the building.
A few limited parking spaces have
been provided, but the general idea
never was accepted by Congress.

on the community life of the coun-
try. Through all Of these 43 years,
there have only been minor changes
in the objectives as set forth by the
founders, indicating that the parent

a solid foundation. Those objects,
which can be summed up in one
sentence-"To promote the welfare

as they did then.
There is no other asset in our
Nation which is so precious as that
Of our young people; there is no

How well we guard this asset and
how intelligently we tap this re-

Youth is quick to grasp at the

1t Is therefore q challenge to parents

to prove to them that such q pro-
gram pays big dividends.

PRODUCTION to Edward F. Colladay,
the prominent civic leader, attorney
and political figure. But Mr.. Cola
days activities In gardening and
fishing probably aren't as well
known.
A three-time president Of the
Board Of Trade, and now general
counsel of the organization, Mr..
Colladay also Is one of the boards
best-known anglers, flower fanciers
and garden devotees.
A Regular Gardener.
Ever since he came to washington
from Kansas at the turn Of the
century, Mr.. Colladay has managed
to steal . few hours each week to
tinker In his garden, where he raises
flowers and vegetables. His flowers
are among the finest in Washing
ton.
In other spare hours, he can be
found where the fish are biting.
His law practice takes him out Of
town a lot, and he usually makes it
a point to carry his fishing gear
along to test new angling grounds.
Mr.. Colladay served two consecu-
tive terms as board president-in
1923 and 1924-and two years ago,
he was called again to fill the post.
He was president Of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations in 1915
and 1916, and has served as chair
man of the Citizens Joint Commit
tee on Fiscal Relations between the
Federal Government and the Dis
trict. For 18 years he has represented
the District as q delegate to the Ma
