Since the closing of the Green
belt Hospital has passed from the
debating stage into an accom-
plished fact, the spectre of this
community without a hospital Is
beginning to take definite form.
What the situation will be in the
future can only be estimated, but
several occurances of last week in
dicate that Greenbelt is faced with
a problem which threatens to be-
come more serious with time.
In an interview with DR.. JOS
eph Silagy, director of public
health, the Cooperator learned of
case which came near to becom-
ing the first casualty of the hospi-
tai closing. According to DR.. Sill
agy, patient suffering from a
ruptured appendicitis, a condition
which calls for the most urgent
emergency operation, remained at
home for four hours before ar
rangements for disqualification
could be made.
DR.. Silagy told this reporter
that he did not know whether ex-
pectant mothers would find hospi-
tails when needed. The difficulty
of securing disqualification now, he
added, will increase with the pres
ent rapid growth of the Washing
ton area.

dents. 2. They shall be members

Effects of Hospital Closing
Being Felt in First Week

side agencies for reopening and
supporting the hospital is still un-
certain, DR.. Silagy indicated. His
trip to New York last week, he
said, resulted in liberal offers Of
technical assistance in maintain
ing the hospital, but the question
of securing the necessary funds
remained unsolved.
Contrary to popular misconcep-
ton, DR.. Silagy said, the Health
Association is still functioning and
is presently negotiating for the
appropriation of some of the hos
pital facilities, and is able and will
ling to accept added membership.
Still in the planning stage is
the proposal which was stated at
last weeks Health Association
membership meeting by DR.. Will
liam Eisner. Under this plan,
Greenbelt families would make
nominal contributions to a hospi-
tai maintenance fund, of approx
imately 30 cents and upward per
family. In case the need for hospi-
talization arose, the total contri-
button made by a family during a
specified period would be credited
towards the cost of disqualification.
At this writing, the only GER
tainty about the hospital situation
is that the hospital is closed. The
big question mark now is, "What
next?"

Seven Directors >

At another stormy meeting Jan
uary % the Greenbelt Health As
sociation elected seven directors,
three for one-year terms and four
for two-year terms. Arthur Cav
throp, Edwin F. Miles and Mrs.
Allen Arness are newcomers to
the board; reelected directors are
Curtis F. Barker, C. Stewart Dow
rick, Sherrod East, and Herman
H. Dubuy.
Absentee balloting, used for the
first time in the history of the or
ganization, was protested by some
members present who pointed out
that this was specifically forbidden
in the bylaws of the organization.
A vote by those present expressed
confidence in the chairman's rul-
ing that absentee voting was legal,
whereupon some members regis
tered their protest in writing with
the secretary and others left the
meeting without voting.
A discussion was led by DR..
William Eisner on methods of hav-
ing some substitute for the hos
pital. One suggestion was to have
the Health Association take over
some of the medical facilities for
emrly operated by the town.
A report on the status of arbi-
tration between DIR. Silagy and
last years directors indicated that
hearings were incomplete. The
membership present voted not to
bear costs of additional hearings,
and it was announced that w. R.
Volckhausen had already advanced
the necessary $25 from his own
funds so that decision might be
reached.

ANGOTT HAS ONE

New York, March 6--(UP) sam
my Angott, the champion robod;s

of Philadelphia at Madison Square
Garden tonight with recognition by
the nations fight fans as his chief
incentive.
Angott, who won the lightweight
championship from Lew jenkins
three months ago, was an 8-5 un-
derdog for the 12-round bout des-
pite a decision over Montgomery in
Philadelphia in 1910. 1t was an over
weight match and the title was, not
at stake.
Angott, aside from the purse, has
nothing to gain but public recogni-
ton. And the purse itself is not too
important to the clean-living Ita1.

Undisputed champion of the 1856.
pound class, Angott walks in the
shadows of oblivion because he has
been quiet operator who avoided
the bright lights and the public eye.
Victory over Bobcat Bob will bring
him nation wide respect from the
fans but defeat will shove him deep
er into the shadows.
Angott is an oddly in the light
weight class, the games second
money division. It was this division
which gave the public such colorful
titleholders as Joe Cans, Battling
Nelson, Benny Leonard, Tony Cam
zoneri, Barney Ross and MadcAp
Lew jenkins. These men were known
personally to the fans-because OF
their antics out Of the ring as well
as in it.
But Sammy virtually is unknown
after he takes off the gloves. Even
the Pennsylvania policemen who
took him into custody recently
after he picked up two hitch mixers
who proved to be bandits--d,dn't
recognize him until after five hours
of questioning. This happened near
his home.
Fine Record
Montgomery became the favorite
because of his ruggedness and body
punching ability. Loser OF only
three decisions in AZ bouts, he was
even more impressive than Angott
in winning non-title decision over
jenkins. Bob's chief interest. other
than possible future title shot, was
the $4,000 gate expected to be
contributed by $4,000 fans.

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, March 6 - (UP) -
Out Of the billowing dust and clat-
tering noise of the race tracks
have come many great stories. Some
tell of grizzled trainers, some of
cheap horses who defy their price
tags and some of men who reap
fabulous profits from shoestring
investments. But the best tell of
the boys we know as jockeys.
Sometimes the boy and his horse
are obscure and their story is re-
Stricted to a small circle and on
other occasions the boy is a Red
Pollard and the horse Seabiscuit
and their deeds become legends.
They follow the same pattern
they are filled with heartbreak and
disappointment but they end in
glittering triumph.
Tomorrow on the homestretch at
Hiaieah Park another such story
will be lurking. ALI it needs is a
happy ending and the correct COM
bination of names. You see, the
story could be about our boots and
Conn McCreary. Or Buddy Haas
and Midland. Or market wise and
Wendell Eads. Maybe even Chal-
Tendon and that steel nerved vet
eran, Georgia Woolf.
No Climax
It could be about any of these
boys and horses because they all
are the stuff of which such stories
are made. The only element lacking
in any. instance is the climax
and that will go to the pair which
wins the running of the $4,000
Wtdener cup race. Let's look at
them, closely, these four boys and
their four horses, and you'll see
what I mean.
There is Conn McCreary. He is
one of the youngest top flight rid
erS on the turf. A year ago he came
out of nowhere and he achieved his
first real successes at the park
where he rides tomorrow. But, sue
cess or not, Conn never gained the
assurance and the faith he needed
until he went up on our boots. On
this horse he beat WhirlaWay by
six lengths just befoer the derby.
In the derby itself Our Boots
stumbled and never got a chance
to run. When Conn came back to
the unsaddling circle there were
tears on his cheeks. Since then Our
Boots has been up and down and
all the while McCreary has been
waiting to boot the little son of
Bull Dog home in really big 'un.
You can see why he will give all
he has in the Widener tomorrow.
Now consider Buddy Haas. Buddy
came to G. S. Howard year too
late. Seabiscuit was under the
charge of Pollard so Buddy drew
Kayak II. The South American was
a great horse-but in the Howard
barn he was just an orphan who
could never run better than second
as long as Seabiscuit was in the
race. Then Kayak broke down and
Buddy Haas went to Midland and
Porter'S Cap.
Porter's Cap was a hot horse for
the Derby but he ran like a stiff.
Midland was the standout favorite
for the 100000 Santa Anita Handi-
cap, but was nicked length by

IN THE PLAYOFF at the Boys
Club last night the Valley All Stars
managed to beat the North End
Tigers in an over time period by
one basket. Johnny Puzas managed
to tie the score SO all with / min
ute to go, then Kalosky popped a
beautiful shot from the side of the
floor putting the All-Stars out in
front by one basket. With seconds
to go Gerty let go with q beautiful
shot making the game go into an
overtime period. In the overtime, the
All-Stars forged to the front
and won by a basket when the
whistle blew. The final score
was SO to SO, with Bill Ka-
1osky making 10 points for the
ALL Stars, and Duglecki throwing up
10 points for the Tigers. The sec
ond game similar to the first, was
won by the Cadets in an overtime
period by beating the North End
Shamrocks. With five minutes to
play in this game, the score was "a
to "a, Conlon was given two shots
on fouls and by making one he put
the Shamrocks out in front by one
point. Then Costello following up
all the opportunities, enlarged this
one point lead to three, then DAM
clio made one point on foul and
by following this up, made another
basket thus tying the score. With
one minute and five seconds to play
Mark made a basket for the Sham
rocks making the score 30 to 90.
Rina1di threw up hoop making the
score 80 to &c. Mark threw up an
other and Rinaldi chalked up an
other making the score 80 to 80.
Costello puts the Shamrocks out in
front by one basket with the score
again being tied when Rinaldi threw
up another hoop. Damelio put the
Cadets out in front once again by
chalking up another points. Then
with SO seconds left to play Marks
tied the score and then Damelio
threw up the winning basket MAX
ing the score 38 to SO. This was as
good a game as anyone could wish
to see on any court. And IN the third
game on the evenings card, we saw
the Machine Shop eliminate the
strong Redmen opponents by a two
point lead at the whistle for the
Redmen. Overton was high scorer
making eight points and also being
the first man of either team to make
the first basket. And Grey was high
man for the Machine Shop. Also be-
ing the last man to make a basket
for either team.
THIS PUTS the Warriors, Cadets,
All-Stars and the Machine Shop in
the semi-finals tomorrow night.
Your reporter predicts that the
Warriors and the All Stars will be
the two teams playing off in the
finals Saturday night.

Faculty Athletics Committee for q
wesleyan Plan" for intercollegiate
athletics to be effective after May
16, 1912:
A. That the present eligibility
rules be modified to permit the sub
stitution of Junior varsity teams for

Bay View in the mud and won only
one top event before he went lame
in the middle Of last summer. Now
Midland is going again, and Buddy
will be up-ready to avenge a half
dozen past fnisfortunes.
Then there is Eads. He is the boy
who wasn't good enough to ride
Whirlaway. He was taken of the
big Calumet charger in the Derby
and the PreakneSs. He sat idle on
the sidelineS while Eddie Arcaro
took over his baby and ran him into
greatness. Tomorrow Eads won't be
aboard Whirlaway, but he'll have
the reins on Market Wise.
Won of 6
Eads wasn't good enough for
Whirlaway but he has been plenty
good enough for this 81 900 bargain
who is the favorite for the Widener.
He has ridden him six times and
five times the two of them have
rolled down the front on top. He is
young boy, this Eads, 50 you know
how he will be booting along when
he reaches the stretch tomorrow.
Finally there is Woolf, seasoned
old boy who has ridden the best
and the worst of them but who for
two years has been working with
and nursing Challedon for just one
more smashing race. Big Pete could
become the third richest money
winner in history if he wins tomor-
row, but only Woolf can guide him
to the victory he needs.
Challendon is almost the 1912
counterpart of the Biscuit. He has
been great. He seemed to lose his
heart when his owner fired trainer
Lou Schaefer, and for a year he
just couldn't work up a gallop. But
Woolf has brought him along the
comeback trial, won with him again
and now faces the final tesla pos
sible new money record this year or
just racing oblivion.
Me? Why I'm riding along with
Haas and Midland.
