roveI Ban LeSsened

Washington, Aug. l7.-CUP)-The Office of Defense Transportation to- day removed all of its restrictions on sports.
 Effective immediately, the agency cancelled:
 The ban on transportation of race horses and show animals.
 The limitations on amounts of travel by baseball and football teams, and other professional and amateur sports groups.
 While the action swept the boards of all official limitations on sports travel, the ODT asked them still to take it easy, pointing out that rail- road passenger facilities will con- tinue to be jammed with troop movements for several months.
 World Series Okayed
 The lifting of restrictions elem mated any last lingering doubts about the world Series being played as usual.
 The ODT pointed out that restric- tions on travel had been established through voluntary cooperation be- tween the agnecy and colleges, high schools and professional sport groups.
 In cautioning that today's action is not an invitation to indulge in widespread travel, the ODT said that if the railroad situation should change for the worse, the whole situation might have to be re- viewed again.

Victory Gardeners
Plan 1915 Season

Many "old-timers," large num-
Der of veterans" of one, two and
three years Of Victory gardening,
and a stable number of newcomers
in the game are being gardening
wise" by planning their 1915 gar
dens now. 1t is estimated that at
least one Of every two Maryland
homes will have one. W. R. Ballard,
garden specialist at the University
Of Maryland, said this week.
Surveys indicate that tomatoes
are by far the most popular garden
crop. Beans are second in popular
ity, with preference divided bet
ween the green and lime varieties.
Cabbage, carrots and lettuce all
ranked high on the list. Following
in close order were corn, beets,
cucumbers, green peas, mustard,
peppers, potatoes, radishes, squash,
turnips, kaie, spinach swiss chard
and onions.
1t helps for the whole family to
talk over garden plans before MAX
ing selections. The tried and tested
varieties are recommended. How
ever, it is also a good idea to try
one or two new vegetables or a
new variety. The use of varieties
resistant to disease especially is
urged. This is particularly true in
the case of cabbage, sweet corn and
tomatoes, as otherwise some of the
soil-borne diseases may ruin the
entire planting.

Housing Held Major
Prosperity Key

The nations housing goals a
decent home in a good neigabor-
hood for every American family =
should be achieved in the postwar
era by maximum reliance upon

munities, and a full housing pro-
gram can make a large contribu-

pressed by John B. Blandford Jr.,
Administrators of the National
Housing Agency. He said that pro-
badly the biggest challenge to a
broad housing market after the
war is the fact that millions of
self-supporting families who want
new homes cannot afford them at
present or past prices or under
existing financial arrangements.
He declared that this called for the

Oil Lease Will
Bring S2O,577 To
State Annually
O'COnOr Announces Ar
rangement With Standard
Oil OF New Jersey For
State-Owned Lands

The State OF Maryland will be
richer by $20,577.50, Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor made known
today, by reason of lease which
has been approved by the Board of
Public Works with the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey, for
exploratory drilling for petroleum
on State-owned lands in Worcester
County.
Most Of the So, 80 acres covered
by the contract, Governor made
known, are under water, including
$3.50 acres Of inland waters and a
strip of Atlantic Ocean Coast one
half mile wide, comprising 10,240
acres. The Poeomoke State Forest
Reserve and the Scaraboro Game
Refuge make up the additional
acreage.
Annual payments of $20,577. so
will be made to the State also,
Governor O'Conor pointed out,
while drilling operations are not in
progress. In addition, a royalty of
one-eighth Of all oil and gas pro-
duced and saved will be paid to the
State, the Governor said.
The decision of the Board to ap-
prove the Standard Oil Company's
application was made upon the re-
commentator of DR.. Joseph T.
Singewald, Jr., Director Of the De-
partment of Geology, Mines and
Water. Resources. One IF the deter
mining factors in the decision and
DR.. Singewald's recommendation
Governor O'Conor pointed out, was
the definite obligation assumed by
the Standard Oil Company to be-
gin the drilling of a well 5000 feet
deep within IS months of the date
of the lease.
Following execution of the lease,
Governor O'Conor said, and prior
to beginning o&drilling operations,
geological and geophys;cal surveys
will be initiated by the Standard
Oil Company, in which use will be
made of all scientific methods pro-
ven as useful in the search for
petroleum. a

YOU may recall the time when
Jim Braddock, supposed to be all
washed up. removed the heavy
weight championship crown from
Max Baer's carefree dome. After
that party we suggested that the
primrose trail'' rarely led to any
pugilistic heights. or any other ath-
letic heights. There are certain
physical freaks-I won't mention
their names-in boxing, baseball
and golf, who trained largely on gin,
scotch and, bourbon and still made
the headlines. For while.

cent of our great football and base
ball players such as Mel OFT, Carl
Hubbell, Blozis, Nagurski, Bill Dick
ey-but why go on? Most of these
are the ones who count.
This question was raised by tho
recent meeting at Madison Square
Garden between two primrose trail
ers from the past--Lee Oma and
Baksi. Both started out along the
soft and easy road. Both were phys
ically qualified to do much better
job than they displayed in their
efforts. But neither was willing TO
pay the price of conditiOn-the price
that Tunney, Dempsey and Joe Louis
paid to be ready with the best they
had to give. And I'm giving you
three of the tops along this rug
ged road.
AS a general rule the so-called
primrose trail has a sudden,
abrupt and dismal finish. AT the
start Of their careers Oma and Bak-
81 were ganoping merrily along this
trail--and getting nowhere in a hur-
ry. Now both are supposed to have
changed their earlier habits--in the
understanding that both are about
the two best heavyweights left, out
side of war service. Both wasted
valuable time in improving them
selves. It took world war to plant
them up near the front. Oma seems
70 be going up faster than Bsksi.
He beat the tough examiner deci-
sively in 10 rounds, weighing lonly
1854 pounds to Baksi's I'll. 80

Keeping in Condition

This isn't any sermon or lecture
on the matter of keeping in shape,
or the value OF hard training. But
there is a general writing and talk
ing tendency to everyday some of
the playboys who travelled long
way up in spite Of their odd ways
of training
Harry Greb was one. So was
Mickey Walker. Walter Hagen was
another, later on in his career. And
there was Rube Waddell, Bugs Ray
mond, Shuffiin' Phil DOuglas-great
pitchers. Even the Overpowering
Babe Ruth had his lapses. So did
Jim Thorpe. So did Grover Cleve-
land Alexander.
But what about the great majority
of stars who made a point of being
in shape-who trained for the job?
The best conditioned fighters I've
known in the last 20 years were
Gene Tunney, Jack Dempsey and
Joe Louis. And they were not so
bad.
Most of the star ballplayers be-
long to this list-I should say about
90 per cent Of them. ! mean such
big leaguers as Ty Cobb, Christy
Mathewson, iris Speaker, Eddie Col
Inns, George Sisler. Lou Gehrig, Carl
Hubbell Mel OFT. Hans Wagner,
Lefty Grove, Joe Gordon. Bill
Dickey--I could keep on for two
columns.
I'd say about 80 per cent Of the
college and pro football players
the top opes-keep In shape and re-
frain at least from the gentle at Of
getting cockeyed.
1t makes a better story 10 write
or tell about the fellow who was
plastered the day or the night be-
fore-and yet came along to win.
But could also tell you about many
more who might have won-many
more-who Topped for the same rea-
son.
There are, Of course, certain OK.
ceptions. But there are not so many
exceptions when you rank them
against the vast majority who took
the other road. Those who lack the
courage-or perhaps the fortitude-
who hope TO be athletes without
proper training and conditioning
are in for heavy price and heav-
Ter jolt. They at least are buck
ing tremendous odds.

Football Weaknesses

Football officials have been given
too heavy burden. They can make
or break any close game. 1t is for
this reason that we suggest two
changes that will not only help out
the officials, but win also help foot
ball. The first would permit for
ward passing any place back of the
line. The second is that after a for
ward pass is thrown, it would be
made a free ball for both receiv-
ers and defenders. II wouldn't mat
ter who went after it.
