Giants Continue To.
Set Pace In League
CONTINUED from First Pags)

play the Giants a postponed game.
The Cards and the Giants always
put on a good show and, Dame
rumor has it that Johnston, the
playing manager for the gas-house
gang, will pitch. This will be his
first appearance on the mound in
Milford park.
Tuesday evening, the Cardinals
will return to this city, with Bo-
land, out to win rs games, the
probable Milford hurler.
Next Thursday evening, the Sal
isbury Indians will be the guests
of the Giants management, with
the Redskins probably using Hill.
lard Murray in an attempt to de-
feat the elague leaders. Today the
Tribe holds but two decisions over
the Giants.
The Giants still continue to lead
the league in all departments. In
batting the Milford aggregation is
hitting the apple" at a comfort
able 313, with Nick Solomon, until
his recent transfer to Fort Smith,
Ark, the leagues leading hitter
with 375. Gordon McKinnon, the
Giants wiry third sacker, was sec
ond in the standing with 355. In
the pitching department Lefty Bill
Boland still continues to be the
league sensation with 16 consecu-
tive wins.
With the team making such a
good showing, the players and the
would be greatly en-
if the attendance would
pick up. With the world in such
IN unsettled condition it is very
likely that 1941 will be the final
year for the Eastern Shore league,

Under a plan set up by the

are paid to those who desire
them by paying stipulated sums
monthly into the fund. Pensions

through with it, this had been
sliced to a little over $25,000,000.
The state of New York collect
ed a tax of $1,771,0 900, but the

away with approximately $2,-

who administered the estate col
lected a larger "tax" than the
state of New York. How much
the Federal government will get
is not known.
The point of the story is that

being very well paid for the per-
