WITH THE REPS
nHAIL TO THE REPSKINS
By John Murray

"AH TO THE RErSKnS"
With apologies to George Marshall and his WASH
ington football Redskins, would like to borrow
their theme and slogan, with slight variations to
pay homage to the Greenbelt Reps, masters OF all
they survey and Champions Of 1870 Prince Georges
Softba11.
On Sunday they invaded the confines Of Magruder
Park in Hyattsvil1e to do battle with that perennial
foe and bitter rival for sectional honors, Carr
Bros. Boswell in the deciding game Of the P.G.c
Tourney. In the past two performances at Magruder,
the Reps had edged out the opposition by close
scores Of 21 and 20 behind the s1ants Of Curt
ker and the Carr Bros, Strategy was all set to
verse those decisions with planned method Of at
tack. Ben Go1dfadden, master-mind Of the Reps, de-
c1ded to upset the dope and gave the hm1ing chore
to Eddie Trmbu1e, holder of record Of eight wins
against defeat for the season.
or five innings he handcuffed them with but
hit, and it wasn't until the seventh that he allowed
them to score, with the Reps coast1ng behind three
run advantage. TO add to his day, he garnered one
Of the five hits allowed by McIaren, and scored
Of the runss Benny Bea1e furnished the days big
gest offensive spark with a two-rm scoring hit In
the fifh, while Blanchard and his 2-3 provided the
best batting record Of the festivities.
Now the District Tournament becomes a fact, with
the Reps listed as outsider and dark horse, but
the has already vi messed the downfall Of the
area's top teams and it may be the role Of giant
killers Will fall to the oreenbelt contingent.
Opening day Of the ion IL set for August II,
and from there it is in the Lap Of tbs gods. We
still figure that Detroit trip possibility.

ShamrOCks Beat Packard
and Arcade Pontiac
Scores: 90 and 80

The Greenbelt shamrocks scored another double
victory the past weekend, when they trounced the
Packard Motors of Washington and nosed out the
cade Pontiac Nine. These trtmphs numbers II
and ls in % games for the local n1ne record that
all the baseball fans Of Greenbe1t should proud
of, considering that this Is the first year. Why go
to Gr1 fifth Stadium when you better game
at home.
On Saturday, behind the hit h,lrling of Ernie
Boggs, who struck out six and walked nary man,
locals pushed across runs in the first, in the
fifth, and in the seventh, to coast to an easy
to victory. Uhrdnak {, nashy shortstop, again
paced the shamrocks attack, connecting for triple
and two singles in five trips to the plate, while
Thonpsons for and Moore's for 3 helped
great deal to push across those needed runs.
Sunday the Shsnrocks met a team Of sterner stuff,
but vi tn Ho1ochwost hurldng his best game of the
season. the locals scored In the third, and In
the seventh, to squeeze out to win over Arcade
Pontiac. Retiring the first 13 to face him,
Ho1ocwost had the visitors eating out Of his hand
as he limited them to four hills while striking out
nine. Twice he pulled out Of tight spots by wh1f-
fling the batter for the third out. The Shamrocks
also made only four hits, but we're for extra
bases, Therdn connecting for homerun and Andrus a
double and four-bagger Cain, newcomer to the To-
Gals, got thu only other hit for the locals.

Is Jehovah's Witnesses
Fined for Paradinq

Eighteen members of Jehovah's
Witnesses were sentenced in Police
Court yesterday to pay fines of IS
each or serve five days in jail on a
charge of parading without a permit
on Wisconsin avenue near p street
NV. last July.
Judge Edward M. Curran imposed
the sentence after Attorney Julius
I. Peyser argued that Judge Hobart
Newman had dismissed similar
case short time before the group
was arrested the second time.
Judge Curran said he construed
the section of traffic regulations COW
ering parading as an aid in MAIN
tanning the streets "as free and
unobstructed highways and not as
a prohibition regulation against as
semblies in the streets"
Attorney Peyser said he might ap-
peal and the Judge set the appeal
bond at 5000 each.
Those found guilty were Nicholas
Schultz, John Miller, Anthony Haritos,
Gene o. Ritchie, Richard r. Num-

Civil Cases Speeded
To Earlier Trials
In District Court
Pre-TrioI Procedure
Credited With Much Aid
In Relieving Docket

An unusual speeding up Of civil
cases in District Court that gives
litigants hope of earlier trials was
reflected in Q calendar digest made
yesterday.
Non-jury cases, about ~ months
behind on the calendar In October,
when the court opened, are now
about IL months behind--a gain Of
10 months in scheduled trial time.
Jury cases are about II months
behind on the calendar at present,
compared with % months in Oc-
tober-a pickup of 6 months.
When cases are at issue, with all
preliminary motions disposed of,
they are placed on the calendar and
take their turn for court action.
Cases filed In October and Novem-
Der, 1888, and placed on the cal
endar In March Of last year are
about to come to trial now.
1,170 Cases Pending.
Civil cases disposed Of since pre-
trial started in mid-September of
last year, under the new Federal
Rules for Court Procedure, aggre-
gate 1883. Now pending on the
calendar are Ito cases, $40 Of them
jury cases and $50 non-jury.
Jury cases are sent to actual trial
in from two to three weeks after
pre-trial procedure before Justice
Bolitha j. Laws, who is in charge
Of this part of District Court work.
It endeavors to cut the issues to
the essentials and, if possible, set
tie cases out Of court, thus saving
the time of Htigants, court and
counsel. Non-jury cases are from
10 days to two weeks behind the
pre-trial hearing. Oficials made it
clear that this picture can change
practically overnight because of set
Elements, compromises, directed ver-
diets and other factors.
Gain In Cases Noted.
Last court year, from October,
1898, through February, 1899, 308
jury actions were disposed of and
706 court cases officially marked
"closed" on the books. These rep
resent a total of 1,014 cases disposed
of as against 1858 for the. cores
ponding period in this court year
an advance that is credited in large
part to the pre-trial program, set
Elements induced by the court and
the volume of work accomplished
by the nine jurists sitting in the
Civil Division of District Court.
The 1858 cases thus disposed of
In this court year include 588 jury
cases and 768 non-jury cases, since
pre-trial started in mid-September
Of last year. Some 332 cases were
closed by court order.
