Detroit, Cards May Be Pennant Winners

UNDATED - (P)-Detroit may back into tn eAmerican League pennant by matching Washington loss for loss, but the St. Louis Cards, taking care of Chicago, have to win the National League flag the hard way. Harry Bre- cheen played with Charlie Grimm's dancing Bruins last night shutting them out with six hits at two to nothing.
 It was the Cards fifteenth vic tory in twenty starts. The Red Birds are only two games behind Chicago with eight to go. Wash ington missed the chance to go into a virtual tie lead when De- troit blew the opportunity to take the commanding lead when the two pennant scrappers dropped respective six and one decisions.

his eyes. He also has lost some of
the power of sensation in his hands

beginning May 10, the county COM
missioners announced yesterday.
During the quarantine period,
clinics at which dog owners may
have their pets vaccinated against
rabies free Of charge will be held

marian, who will be in charge of the
program, said facilities will be pro-
vided for the collection of dogs run
ming at large during the operation
of the vaccination clinics, which will
start shortly after the quarantine

unvaccinated dogs will be picked up
during the quarantine after the
clinics have been closed. These
animals will be kept at the county
almshouse for five days and will be
destroyed if unclaimed in that
period.
In order to compel dog owners to
have their pets vaccinated, the
commissioners suggested that any
one who claims an unvaccinated dog
at the almshouse be fined $40. The
board ordered it's attorney, Waldo
Burnside, to investigate the legality
of such an ordinance.

Silver Spring Groups
Urge 0'Conor 10 Veto
School Bus Measure

The Allied Civic Group, composed
Of II associations in the Silver
Spring area, yesterday sent tele-
gram to Gov. O'Conor urging veto
Of bill to provide transportation
for parochial school students in
Montgomery County public school
buses.
Objection to. the measure was
based on the contention that it
would permit use of public funds
for private enterprise.
A resolution unanimously adopted
by the organization asserts that the
bill would pave the way for future
encroachment on the use of public
money, and pointed out that it
was particularly Objectionable at
this time since the present trans
portation system for public school
children is inadequate due to man
power and equipment shortages.
The organization took exception
to a statement made by James w.
Gill, chairman of the Montgomery
delegation to the Maryland Legis-
lature. at recent veto hearing be-
fore the Governor, that the organi-
zation had refused to take action on
any of the bills in question.
The group charged that Mr.. Gill
had implied that the group had by
its silence, indorsed the bills. Ralph
D. Boyd, president of the group, in
a letter to Gov. OConor, explained
that the organization had Endorsed
only one bill and had refrained from
approving any other measures, since
"its primary interest in the bills in
question centers in their courageous
and proper administration" hi
A special committee headed by
Ernest Woodchek was appointed to
study the county's merit system bin

Named as Virginia
Convention Delegates

Robinson Moncure, Alexandria,
and former State Senator Frank L.
Ball were elected yesterday to rep
resent the 29th senatorial district
and the Arlington County district,
respectively, in the Virginia Consti-
tutional Convention which will
convene Monday in Richmond.
Unofficial returns in the 18th,
which includes Fairfax and Prince
William Counties and Alexandria
City, gave Mr.. Moncure 1921 votes
in Alexandria and Fairfax County
to 734 for his opponent, Walter I.
Young, Alexandria. No figures were
available in Prince William County
where Mr.. Moncure was reported
leading.
In Arlington County Mr.. Ball,
who was without opposition, polled
241 votes, according to unofficial re-
turns from 10 of the county's II
precincts.
On the basis of estimates made
after the recent convention election,
when about 700 votes were cast in
Arlington, election officials esti-
mated that yesterdays ballots cost
approximately SO each there.
According to unofficial returns
from Alexandria, Mr. Moncure polled
IT'S votes to 1876 for his opponent
in their home city.
Elsewhere in the State, the Asso-
ciated Press reported that only 4
seats out of the 40 in the conven-
ton appeared In doubt today. Can
didates for half of the 40 seats were
mopposed.
The convention will clear the way
for participation Of members of the
armed services in State and local
elections by amending the constitu-
ton to allow service personnel to
vote without personal registrations

.2-Cent Increase
Frees Maryland
Tobacco Crop
SoIes Sturt in Some
Markets; Ceiling
Raised to SIC

Some Southern Maryland tobacco
warehouses began selling the bump
er 1914 crop today following an
Of 2-cent ceiling
price increase by the ONCE Of Price
Administration yesterday.
Markets at La Plata, Hughesville
and Waldorf began operations
today, and the Baltimore and Upper
Marlboro markets were ready to
start tomorrow.
The OPA said the increase-from
SIS cents to 81 cents-is based on a
directive issued by the ONCE of Eco
nomic Sterilization, and will apply
to all Maryland tobacco, whether
the grower sells in hogsheads or on
the loose-leaf market.
The OES issued the directive after
further examination Of evidence sub
mitted by growers and warehouse
men disclosed that "the 2-cent in.
crease is necessary for growers to
obtain a weighted average price Of
about 48 cents a pound"
Representative Sasscer, who with
Senators Tydings and Radcliffe,
Democrats, of Maryland led q group
OF growers and warehousemen in a
ceiling price appeal to Sterilization
Director William H. Davis, expressed
qualification that Mr.. Davis has
given us some relief"
TN view of our increasing costs
and past averages" Mr.. Sasscer
said, Il do not think 81 cents is
enough, but 81 cents is better than
the IS cents proposed last week"
= On the basis of a 10000 ,0O0- pound
crop, officials estimated the increase
would add about $500, 900 to tobacco
growers income.
George Sachse, general manager
of the Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association in Baltimore, said Mary.
land tobaccomen ARE still dissatis-
fed with the Ascent average orig
inally set by the OPA and retained
in the revised order and will survey
the situation and see if any further
steps can be taken to raise the aver
age set as this years goal by the
OPA."
Warehouses throughout the State,
originally scheduled to begin sales
April II, remained closed pending
the ceiling price appeal. This is the
second year sales have been delayed
pending price adjustment.
