first seven years OF repeal Q933-
1939) averaged 2.5, as against an
average of 3.5 for the last seven
years of Prohibition.
A third major phase Of so..@i
trends-the incidence of criminal
offenses-also shows an improve
ment since Prohibition ended. In
1882, the first year for which the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
published compilations of municipal
crime rates, there was combined
rate of 1,645 offenses per 100000
population. The rates are for If
fenses known to the police" in the
following categories: murder, man
slaughter, rape, robbery, aggrav
ated assault, burglary, larceny and
auto theft.
The rate for 1940 was 1866, a
decrease of about per cent since
1882. Indications are that 1941 will
show a still better record, as the
rate for the first six months was
about 752 as against TIC for the cor
responding period in 1910. The 194l
figures are from 2,034 cities with
population of 64,C95,1S6.
The crime and accident reports
above quoted lend emphasis to the
recent statement of Gov. Herbert H
Lehman of New York, who said:
"The repeal Of Prohibition greatly
added to public respect for law and
order, reduced racketeering and
gangsterism. and brought substan
tial economic gains to industry ano

Mr.. and Mrs. America can pe
proud of a marked improvement
since 1888 in social trends affecting
public safety.
Reductions in the rate of automo.
bile traffic fatalities, in deaths from
alcoholism and in incidence of
crime stand out among the i'm
provements in the period since Pro-
hibition was repealed. Basic statis-
tical reports recently issued by gov
ernmental and other authoritative
agencies provide the figures for an.
alysis.
The 1941 edition of Accident
Facts" just published by the Ma
tional Safety Council, shows that
the highway fatality rate was 12.1
deaths per 100,00O.O00 vehicle miles
in 1910. This contrasted with 1910
in 1925, the first year for which the
statistics were compiled. The aver.
age motor vehicle death rate for
the prohibition years from 1925 to
1882 was 17.49 per 100,00O.0O0 ve-
hicle miles, while since the end OF
Prohibition, the average rate has
declined to 1926, and for the last
three years it has averaged 1873.
The death rate from alcoholism
has been halved since 1928, when
the high mark of 40 per 100000
population was recorded. In 1888
and 1889, the latest years for which
these Census Bureau figures are
available, the rate was 2 per
100,000-the lowest since 1921. The
death rate from alcoholism for the

Game Reveals Roosevelt
Poor Contender for
Public High Title

Lack of batting punch and unde-
pendable pitching appear to be
Roosevelt's shortcomings as it pre-
pares to enter the high school dia-
mond race next week.
These weaknesses evidenced yes
terday against Gonzaga, likely will
prevent the Rough Riders from
being serious contenders. In an
Ginning game on the Ellipse, Con-
zaga's Eagles twice came from be-
hind by collecting II hits of a
succession of Rider hurlers to win,
81. Joe Walsh's single with none
out in the eighth scored Al Bello
from third with the winning run.
Elmer Rabas single in the same
inning had scored Joe Murphy with
the tying marker.
Another big gun for Gonzaga was
Bob Mulvihill, who collected three
hits, one of them a triple, in three
official trips. He was walked twice.
Bill Carroll's brilliant relief hurting
for two innings also aided the
Eagles. He struck out five.
Roosevelt had a chance to win in
the seventh when the score was
tied, Sc, with two on and none
out. Carroll relieved Joe OLone
on the Gonzaga mound and famed
three in succession. Again in the
eighth the Riders put two runners
on with only one out. but poor base
running eliminated one runner and
Carroll tossed another strikeout.

Eastern Gets 3 Runs

Episcopal, 24-1O

Two circuit smashes and single
by Third-baseman Wideman failed
to help Episcopal in its one-sided
battle with a potent Eastern High
nine yesterday, the latter chalking
up a 1910 victory in an Ginning
game halted by darkness.
Eight runs in the first inning,
when IL batters came to the plate,
decided matters in Eastern's favor.
Lanky Kenny Deevers, who twirled
the first five innings for the vic
tors, had the Virginians at his
mercy, tanning seven and giving up
only four hits.
Art Bray, who relieved him, was
more generous, allowing seven
bingles and as many runs.

Pitchers Stage Fancy
Duel as Dewitt Puts
Bee on ST. AIbans
Cullen and TrimbIe Each
Fans 16 in 81 Contest;
Squeeze Play Clicks
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

We don't know how many high
school baseball games we are des-
tined to see this year, but this re-
porter believes he'll wait many a
day before he witnesses a better or
more even pitchers duel than the
one yesterday in which Dewitt nosed
out st. Adams, 81.
1t was exactly the kind of a game
that the score indicates and with
Dewitt Pitcher Bob Cullen shading
his mound rival, Jim Trimble, ever
SO slightly, it was only just that his
mates should break a IL deadlock
with tWo-run outburst in the ninth
inning.
Fan 16 Batters Each.
But get load of the equal strug-
gle that these two big righthanders
waged. Each struck out IS batters.
Cullen walked st. Adams leadoff
man in the first inning and didn't
issue pass thereafter. Trimble
walked only three. Cullen limited
the Saints to three singles and a
double, while Dewitt found Trimble
for only seven safeties, two of them
extra-baSers.
A glance at the box score indi-
Gates how the batters of both teams
were faring. When they weren't
striking out, they were popping up
or grounding to the inf1eld, st.
Adams outield having only two
chances and Devitt's three.
Cullen should have had a shut
out, and has only himself to blame
for permitting the losers lone un-
earned run. He threw wild to the
plate on Bill Terry's easy hopper
on which Ash Fuller was racing
home from third, but after that
settled down to pitch eight score
less innings. The Saints got only
two men as far as third after the
first.
Scores on Squeeze Bunt.
Trimble went great for five
frames, but Swarthy Phil Delisi
put Dewitt back in the game when
he opened the sixth with a triple
over the center fielder's head. Two
batters later, Catcher Waitman
Allen scored him with a perfect
squeeze bunt which he beat out.
Trimble started his own downfall
in the ninth when he walked Allen
to open the inning. Then, with
the hit-and-run on, Second Base
man Clements plastered one to
center field and Allen legged it all
the way home from first with what
proved to be the winning run. To
the surprise of all, Left Fielder Flynn
came through with his first hit of
the year to score Clements and put
the game on ice.

Has Hopeless Task
Defending Title
Episcopal Team Strong;
Entry Blanks Sent
To 100 Schools
BY GEORGE HUBER.

A real scramble for team honor.
is promised when the 23d annual
c Club track meet, biggest high and
prep school cinderpath event in tht
East, is held on Saturday, May IT.
at Central Stadium.
Washington-Lee High of Ball
ston, champion last year by sixth
of a point over Central, is removed
from consideration as a possible
winner this time. Johnny Bakers
| team of Wally Legg and Co. was
| graduated practically en- masse
after dominating the meet for two
successive years.
Looming as a possible successor
is Episcopal, winner for four years
prior to Washington-Lee's rise, al
though more of the Maroons'
chances will be indicated after a
dual meet on Friday with Tech.
Tech is promising real competi-
ton with its one-man team of Ed
Barham. 1t really has several
other stars, but Barham is a stand
out. Central also has a strong team,
but Episcopal topped it by points
in dual meet last week.
Blanks Sent to Many Schools.
Entry blanks have been sent to
nearly 100 schools in the East, and
it easily is possible that a winner
will come from outside the WASH
inn Tohro MorShon Cf Pirh
mond will enter with the same team
which won the Duke relays last
week and the Southern Conference
indoor meet during the winter.
Other strong teams likely to enter
are Woodberry Forest, winner Of
the Virginia prep school indoor
title; Jefferson High of Roanoke,
Baltimore Poly and Maury of Nor
folk. 1t is probable that more than
80 schools will be represented.
Roanoke has an almost certain
winner in Alvin Smith, who took
the mile event at the C. U. indoor
meet at Uline Arena this winter.
His time of 4:39.3 on an indoor
track is only 1.3 seconds off the
record set by Jim Kehoe when he
was running for Bel Air High in
1896, and it is possible that he may
set a new C Club mark.
Compete for New Trophies.
At least two new trophies will be
in competition this year. The Bill
Foley Trophy goes to the third
place team and is bestowed in
honor of Central's famous track
coach who retired several years
ago. The other is the Al Hayden
Trophy for the 440-yard dash win
ner. Hayden, Central track star
last year, set a record in that event,
and the trophy was presented by his
father. Hayden now is attending
La Sale.
Leading prize is the Emory Will
son Memorial Trophy for the win
ming team. This is given in honor
of the memory of the man who
was Central's principal when the
school was moved to its present To-
cation from Seventh and o streets.
The George Hamilton Memorial
Trophy goes to the second-place
team. Others are the Eugene Casey
Cup for the 1-mile relay, George
M. Norris Trophy for the medley
relay and the Jim Sprigman Me-
mortal Trophy for the half-mile re-
lay.
