understudy, Johnny Welaj. has a
sore arm and Harris apparently
has cooled off on Joe Mellen-
deck, for reasons unknown.
After his neat exhibition
against the Cards, First Baseman
George Archie put in another
bad day against the Reds this
afternoon. George got one hit
in four chances, but that was on
an easy roller to Third Baseman
Bill Werber, who handled the
ball with a flourish, took his
time about throwing, and dis
covered to his surprise that
Archie had crossed the bag.

Preparations for Georgetown's l941
baseball season were launched last
week to the delicate tinkle of
shattered window panes and the
wooden clack of balls bouncing on
ancient Ryan gym floor in pepper
drills. 1t will be another three
or four days before Coach Joe Judge
can lead his sluggers outdoors, but
the veteran trouper expects to have
a formidable team ready for the
curtain-raiser April l.
The Hoyas have most of last
years potent squad back in harness,
losing only First BaSeman Joe
Mahoney and Outfielder Johnny
Schmidt by graduation. Lou Ghecas,
who filled in at third while George
Pajak was nursing his broken arm,
probably will step into Schmidt's
shoes and Russ Miller, who started
the season at first, will have another
fling at that position. He expects
to land a permanent job this time
Judge will be well supplied with
pitchers, barring an epidemic Of
sore arms, lame backs. etc John
Dieckelman, robust portsider who
alternated in the outfield last year,
and Winnie Powers, a lean, timber
right-hander, head the mound corps.
Dieckelman will double up again
this spring to get the advantage of
his power hitting which, unfortu-
nately, didn't always produce the
desired effect.
Infield Appears Able.
But it was no fault of his He
really had tough luck with his hits,
as in the Princeton game when he
slammed out two triples with nobody
on and no outs either time. His
mates couldn't get him home and
Johnny lost, 80, after pitching a
fine game. On other occasions the
outfielders played so deep for him
they had to send out searching
parties for them and no matter
how far or how hard he hit the ball

Three Bus Companie,
Seeking 10 Extend
Arlington Services
Applications Studied
By Stote Corporation
Commission
b. tte Associated Press. .

By tFe Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, April 30.-The
State Corporation Commission to-
day had under advisement the ap-
plications of three bus companies
ices in heavily populated Arlington
County.
All the applications were taken
under advisement after a public
nearing at which witnesses testi-
fed to a growing demand for trans
rortation facilities as a result OF
the Washington population overflow
into Virginia.
The Arlington & Fairfax Trans
portation Co. asked approval of an
alternate service from the inter-
section of Washington boulevard
and Arlington Ridge road over Me-
mortal drive and Memorial Bridge
into Washington, and of a route
from the intersection of Seminary
ana Glebe roads by way of Army
and Navy drive and Arlington Ridge
road to Key Bridge plaza at Ross
lyn.
The Memorial Bridge route would
extend to the company's terminal
at Tenth and E streets NV, Wash
ineton. but the Virginia Commis-
sion has Jurisdiction in fixing routes
only to the Virginia-District OF Co.
lumbia line.
The Washington, Virginia &
MARYLAND Coach Co. proposed to
operate a line on Lee boulevard
from the point where Fort Myer
drive crosses the boulevard to Me-
mortal Bridge, and extend another
from North Moore street to Airing
ton Ridge road and Memorial
Bridge
The Alexandria. Bancroft & Wash
ington Transit Co. also sought an
extension of service over Army and
Navy drive from Glebe road to Me-
mortal Bridge, via Twenty third
street and Arlington Ridge road.
Paul A. Hill, secretary of the
Arlington Chamber of Commerce,
testified his organization had in
dorsed the applications of both the
Arlington & Fairfax and Washing
ton, Virginia & Maryland Coach
companies.
There were some conflicts among
the three companies as to portions
of the routes proposed in so far
as they might affect bus service
previously authorized by the COM
mission.

$4,000 Fire Sweeps
Four.Room Addition
To SuitIand School
Main Building Damaged;
Glasses Cancelled
AS Repairs Start

A new four-room addition to the
Suitland Md Elementary School
almost completed but not yet turned
over to the Prince Georges County
School Board, was swept by fire
early today causing damage estt-
mated at more than $4,000.
School officials found it impos-
Sible this morning to hold classes
as usual in the old building, which
was damaged by smoke and water.
Firemen and an extra force of JAM
itorS were at work when the open
ing hour arrived cleaning up the
debris from the blaze, which brought
out all the fire companies in the
southern part of the county.
The fire was discovered by By
sents Miller, colored, janitor, who
was, asleep in the basement of the
building Awakened by the smoke,
he fought his way outside and broke
into the office of the old building,
where he telephoned the Forestville
Volunteer Department. The blaze
started in one of the rooms of the
brick structure where fireman later
discovered a sanding machine had
been in use during working hours
yesterday.
AS soon as the Forestville COM
pany reached the scene, general
alarm was turned in for all the
companies in the Southern part of
the county, and apparatus re-
Sponded from Seat Pleasant, Hill
side, Marlboro, Capitol Heights,
Boulevard Heights and Clinton. the
latter with its 1,500-gallon tank
truck.
So intense was the heat for the
first hour that firemen had difficulty
in getting close to the burning
structure, according to Chief Irwin
R. Main of the Seat Pleasant de-
partment.
Fire Marshal David Randall of the
Forestville company said the fire
apparently started in a pile of waste
near the sanding machine and prob
ably had smoldered for several hours
before bursting into flame.
The building was scheduled tc
be turned over to the school board
next week and would have relieved
congestion in the area. Pupils OF
the first and second grades are now
attending school half day on q
staggered system of hours. The
addition cost $25,500, according to
Mrs. Opal Thompson, school prin-
cipal who said the school has an
enrolment of about $50 pupils who
we're sent home after reporting to-
day. Officials were uncertain
whether classes could be resumed
tomorrow.
The fire was the second this year
in the Suitland section. About
two months ago fire caused
damage estimated at nearly $4,000
at Hartman's store only a short
distance from the school.
