BASEBALL CLUBS
WITHDRAW FROM
LEAGUE

The scores of the play-off games il
the Susquehanna Baseball League OF
Sunday, Aug. rs, were: Havre d,
Grace 4, North. East 1; Darlington
8, Rising Sun 5, eleven innings.
There was plenty of excitement II
this game, which was holly contest
ed by both teams, and required two
extra innings before a decision was
reached, the Darlington boys win
ming.
The game was marred by an Incl
dent that resulted in a protest being
made by Manager Biles of the Rising
Sun team, when short-stop Young, OF
tke Darlington team, took offence al
remarks of rooter, left the diamind
and attacked the psectator The oc-
currence was in the fifth inning and
precipitated near riot, even some OF
the lady fans taking part in the me-
lee, it is alleged, welding handbags
in a more or less effective manner
on the irate ballplayer, who seemed
to be out for gore.
Manager Biles demanded the re-
moval of the player from the game,
and as this was not done, registered
a protest, which was announced by
the umpire, and the game finished.
At meeting of the League in
Elkton, Monday evening, August 81,
more excitement developed when the
protest was sustained, the player at
fault suspended for the remainder
of the season, and the game ordered
to be played over.
The Darlington club refused to
abide by this ruling and withdrew
from the League.
The manager of the Havre de
Grace team claimed to have a short
age of eligible players with which to
meet Rising Sun in play-off series
and also withdrew from the League.
AS Rising Sun had already been
declared the League champions, by
virtue of winning the regular sche-
dule, the team was authorized to
represent the Susquehanna League
in the All American Amateur Base
Ball Tournament elimination series,
sponsored by Glenn l.. Martin of Bal
timore, and to be played at Harris
burg, Pa, Sept. 6, Z, and s, 1945.

Bids On Post
War Projects
Ordered
s2sO,ooo,ooo Construc.
ton Program Discuss
ed By Board

Maryland's Post War CONSTRUCTION
Program, comprising some $780,
100000 in projects for the State
Counties, and Municipalities ano
Baltimore City, was reviewed in de
tail at Ocean City on Monday by the
Board of Public Works. 1t was the
first meeting under Governor O'Con-
or's offices in Annapolis or Balti-
more.
In view of the changed industrial.
situation, following the termination
of war with Japan, it was empnasiz
ed by Governor O'Conor that there
must be fiexibility enough to the en-
tire program to assure, first, tina,
vitality needed new buildings, roads,
etc., might be begun promptly and
secondly, that the construction be
scheduled as far as possible to tit Ill
with any periods OF unemployment
rather than to make it necessary t.
compete for labor at time when in.
dustry might be booming.
Bids will be asked Immediately OIL
many of the projects for which plans
and specifications are complete, thu
preparing the way for prompt initia
ton of construction.
Particular consideration was givel,
to the Board to the approximately
S8O,OO0,0O0 of projected State Con
struction. This includes about $19,-
100000 of new hospitals, institu-
tions, etc., and SOL, 100000 of roads
and Highway construction and main
tenance, including $1,500,00O for a
new ferry boat and modernization OF
the Matapeake Terminal Of the Ches-
apeake Bay Ferry System.
The huge total of $230,000,0OO Of
construction projected, Governor
O'Conor declared following the meet
ing, should go far towards meeting
any general unemployment that
might possibly develop in the period
of reconversion from war lto peace in
dustry. Certainly, he pointed cut,
the vast number Of man-hours of en-
ployment thus made possible, togeth-
er with the $128,000,000 of unem-
ployment compensation reserve now
on hand, should prevent in Maryland
any of. tie prolonged distress that
followed in the wake of the first

Ammunition Outlook

Prospects of hunters and other
sportsmen getting ammunition this
fall are bright.
Even before the wars end, the
War Production Board had promised
to release more ammunition for CT
william use and now it Is expected that
ample quantities will be available.
Formal announcement is expected
soon from the WPB.
Use of ammunition is now restrict
ed to farmers, ranchers, and law en-
forcement officers. Sportsmen have
had no ammunition allocated to them
