Campbell was attempting to bring
through the field in the final run.
Must Go was given a terrific
bump and carried inside as Villa
Platte and Jockey King careened
on their way to beat The Anvil by
a neck. Must Go wound up third
in the field of L.
1t was a fragrant foul by Villa
Platte and a claim of foul was an
nounced before the horses had

obviously from the stewards
stand as none of the jockeys had
yet had a chance to protest.
For four or five years the De-
troit stewards have followed one
of the most intelligent procedures
on fouls practiced anywhere. In
stead OF placing an offender last,
they have usually put him second
so that fans who wagered on him
didn't lose all they had wagered
on a live" horse. Other race
tracks have gradually followed
the Detroit lead.
BUT Nor THIS TIME q
Villa Platte was an offender

Cards Refuse
Coneede Flag
n, United Press

Brooklyn's rollicking Dodgers
may be the pennant toast of the
National League to everyone else,
but Sam Breadon, Billy South
worth and the st. Louis Cardinals
prefer to wait until September TO
concede the bunting to the Flat
bush favorites.
Boosting four victories in five
games with the Cubs and with a
record of seven triumphs in their
last eight games, the Dodgers
moved into st. Louis today in an
enviable spot. They have won %
more games than they've lost and
hold a seven-game lead over the
Cardinals. Thus the Dodgers can
blow their entire three game
series here and leave town with a
comfortable four-game lead.
DENIES RUMoRs
The Cardinals. from batboy 10
president, think they have a
chance to overhaul the Dodgers
even though all the experts are
calling Brooklyn the best National
League team in 10 years. Rumors
that the Cards already have given

to sell their sterling Highlander
Mort Cooper, to the Giants, are
heatedly denied by President Sam
Breadon.

Golf clubs here will get along

This opinion was expressed by
leaders of three groups active In
golf here-club managers, green's

Each group held a tournament,
at a different club, and spent
much time discussing problems
vital to all golfers.

more distant clubs, it seems, but
that was anticipated even before
the season opened. But the en-

Program TO Increase
Maryland Crops Planned

BY the Associated Press.
State soil specialists today planned
a program under which Maryland
farm production could be increased
to new levels, but without repeating
mistakes of the first World War.
In order to win the war, pro-
duction must be increased to the
greatest heights yet reached" DR..
H. H. Bennett, chief Of the Federal
Soil Conservation Service, told
MARYLAND district conservation su-
pervisors and soil specialists yester-
day at the University Of Maryland.
"That means that for the duration
of the war the job of controlling
erosion is secondary to the job OF
producing goods"
DR.. Bennett declared I'VE want to
avoid the mistakes we made" In
1e17-18, when millions of acres
were plowed that should not have
been plowed."
To farmers the specialists recon-
mended these soil-saving practices:
Flowing, planting and cultivating
across the slope; keeping all land
covered during the winter; cutting
only mature trees and protecting
young trees when telling timber:
meeting increased production goals
by more intensive use of better land
rather than by blowing up land that
should not be cultivated.

tai excavations next week.
Col. Bolles declared it was inevit-
able" that the Axis would make air
attacks on American cities, since un-
doubtedly they would throw every
resource into an effort to stop the
flow of war materials from America.
Axis Tactics Cited.
He said he was convinced an air
attack would be attempted, not only
for this reason, but because, con-
sidering the character of our en-
emies, the Axis take delight in de-
stroying hospitals, churches and in
machine-gunning women and chill
dren in the streets"
On the question Of whether WASH
ingtons are apathetic to the situ-
alton, Col. Bolles said: well, some
people won't believe it until bomb
drops into their front yards, but
Washington is unique in another re-
spect. We have thousands of people
here who have come from places all
over the United States.
civil service is bringing In more
residents at the rate of about 5000 a
month. These people, for the most
part, have no feeling of home ties to
Washington. They just work here.
They are not interested in the pro-
lection of our city.
"Air-raid protection really con-
Germs them, but they don't think so.
They are not only apathetic, but they
innocently constitute a menace to
the rest of our citizens"

Silver Hill Tavern

A fire of undetermined origin last
night almost completely destroyed
Louis Place, a. two-story frame
tavern on Naylor road, Silver Hill,
Md.
A trunk line was melted by the
heat of the fire, cutting telephone
connections from Southern Mary
land into the District for more than
an hour.
Firemen were forced to 60
quarter of mile away on Branch
avenue to get water. A high wind
also hampered their efforts. Traf-
fic on. the Southern Maryland pike
was blocked for several hours.
Among fire companies respond
ing were those from Oxon Hill,
