.zoning Action
Citizens to Appeal
Decision on Tracts
Use for Apartments

Documents were dispatched to
clerks of the Montgomery County
(Md0 Circuit Court and the Board
of County Commissioners today noti-
flying them that an appeal is to be
made from the boards action of
Tuesday, when tract lying along
Sligo Creek Parkway was rezoned
for apartment use.
This notification of intent to fight
the issue resulted from a protest
meeting of citizens from the Silver
Spring area last night in Parkside
School.
Claude Cook was named chairman
of Citizens Committee to consult
attorneys on legal steps to reverse
the rezoning action, which opened
for large apartment construction a

served as residential A.

and Mrs. Ira Castles was named to
notify the court and commissioners
of the impending appeal.
The site involved, lying on the east
side of Sligo Creek Parkway between
Wayne and Houston streets, was
rezoned by a 3-to-2 vote of the COM
missioners after approval by the
Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
Opposition was touched off by the
statement of County Commissioner
John E. Oxley, who said he was
shocked" by spreading apartment
coming in the area.
''I should feel I had been false to
my oath of Office if voted for this
rezoning," he added.

Bar Committee Backs
Marbury for Chief
Judge Of 7th Circuit
If Named, Prince Georges
Would Get Post First
Time in so Years

The Maryland Bar Association S
Judicial Vacancies Committee has
recommended the appointment of
Judge Ogle Marbury of the seventh
judicial circuit to succeed Chief
Judge Walter J. Mitchell, who re-
tired last Sunday
If Judge Marbury were appointed
to the post, which would automat-
ically make him a member of the
Maryland Court of Appeals, it would
be the first time in about so years
that Prince Georges County OBJ
tanned the chief judgeship. Judge
Marbury was appointed to the cir
cult bench last December.
The Bar Committee suggests that
Judge Mitchell's successor be Sc
lected on the basis of qualifications
for membership on the Court of
Appeals and mot from geographical
considerations"
Geographical Problem.
The committee pointed out that
the Governor is faced with a geo.
graphical situation in making the
appointment. Prince Georges
County, under a recently adopted
constitutional amendment, must
have two of the four judges on the
circuit dncluding the chief judge)
and no more. If the chief Judge is
Prince Georges County resident,
the other associated judges must be
residents of other counties.
The committee declared it has
been suggested that the chief judge
be named from one of the other
counties in order to leave two resi-
dent associate judges in Prince
Georges, which has the greater part
OF the seventh circuits judicial
business.
Field Narrowed.
Such geographical considerations
would seriously narrow the field for
selection of a member of the Court
of Appeals" the committee re-
ported.
Since 1867 associate judges as
well as chief judges are judges of
an entire circuit, not of any par
tlcular county or counties. They are
chosen to conduct the judicial busi-
ness OF the circuit wherever there is
business to be conducted"
If Judge Marbury is named chief
judge, the committee recommends
the appointment of John B. Gray,
Jr., or Benjamin Hance, both of
Calvert County, as associate Judge.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. Jr.


SOUTH ORANGE, N. j., Jan. 81.
About once in two or three basket
ball generations there appears
real hero of the hardwood-a fellow
like Stanfords Hank Luisetti or
Pittsburgh's Chuck Hyatt. whose
fame spreads outside his own ter
ritory.
Fans in this district offer as one
of this select group Bob Davies, a
speedy and tricky forward from
Seton Hall College.
Davies admittedly has plenty of
competition throughout the country.
Has a Wealth of Rivals.
There are such players as Dart

Fast Jockey Pace SET
By Adams, Westrope
Has Dew Worried
Champion Rider Of 1910
Far Behind Veterans
Making Comebocks
BY Il e Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 2l.-Two
former American riding champions,
Johnny Adams of lola. Kans., and
Jackie Westrope of Baker. Mont.
are putting wrinkles in the fair
young brow of the 1910 jockey
champ, Earl Dew.
Dew booted in his 287th winner
December 81 to take a photo de-
cision from Walter Lee Taylor.
Then he set his 194l goal at 300
winners. Since then he has been
in San Francisco waiting for the
new Golden Gate track to open.
Here at Santa Anita Park Adams
and Westrope have been setting a
dizzy pace. Since the winter sea-
son began Adams has accepted 66
mounts, won II times. placed 3
times and showed times Westrope
has been up So times. with IA win
ners, IL places and 9 shows.
Each Wins Five in Day.
Westrope has made a gallant
comeback since last winter. when
the stewards grounded him for sew
eral months because of the way he
rode horse named Sir Lancelot.
Last week he gave a splendid exhi-
bition by bringing in five winners
IN one day-a feat later duplicated
by Adams.
Jackie started his riding career
in Montana and Idaho and in 1892
went to Cuba. The following year
he got his first winner and he went
right on to pick off the national
championship for 1888 with 30l
winners.
Tom Worden, Kansas City sports
man. Immediately purchased West
ropes contract. Probably the high
light of his entire career was his
feat of bringing in Stagehand to
win the s50,000 Santa Anita Derby
of 1887
"Stagehand was the greatest horse
I ever rode" Westrope says without
any hesitation.
Adams Clumsy at Start.
Adams. who weighs 108 to West
ropes 112, is a self-made Jockey.
Owners advised him to give up rid
ing almost as soon as he started.
They said he was too clumsy. Today,
Johnny, all 4 feet 8 inches of him,
Is one of the most powerful reinsmen
in the business. He has the hands
of a blacksmith, is a master of
pace judgment. and rides like a
madman in the stretch.
If Adams horse is in a photo
finish he's very likely to be the
winner. Two seasons ago Johnnys
hackers claimed he didn't lose a
photo finish all season. The claim
may be extravagant, but Adams
experience helps him immeasurably.
Last Saturday the lola Atom"
brought in five winners in seven
races. Three of them were long
shots. A 50 win ticket on each
horse Adams rode would have netted
profit Of $119.60.
1t begins to look as though Earl
Dew has his work cut out for 1941.

Tonight's only National Hockey

teams to the fans for a good many

hind the second-place Detroit Red

New Workers twice this season. tied
them twice and lost one decision.
But the Rangers, too, are moving
along, regaining a faint semblance
of the form that carried them to a
Stanley Cup victory last spring.
Their unbeaten streak is only four
games, but that has lifted them to
fourth place. Their defense. the
cause of many early-season losses,
has been tighter recently. They've
been up close to the Bruins and
the Toronto Leafs in scoring right

Economy in Conduct of YoIe's

naught but hearsay, will be the

In accordance with this policy rumor
IS that both Edward Leader. the
rowing coach, and Joe Wood. base

salaries reduced or will resign, per
force. Both coaches have plenty of
influential friends. and if they do
resign, either of their own initiative
or otherwise, trouble may ensue. Talk
is that some Yale oarSmen now in
college are not so strong for Leader
as were all their predecessors. But
several alumni who know rowing
scout stories that he has lost his
touch.
The trouble about Leader relates
