Blackle the kitten had the last
laugh on certain big, white rooster
at the Boys Club pet show yester-
day.
The two pets, both entered in the
show. by John Busby. 13, of 1920 Mas
sachusetts avenue Sc, were sitting
in adjoining boxes when the rooster
leaned over and pecked curiously at
Blackie's dark fur.
The Kitten, barely over a month
old. a-ched its back and began max
ing as ferocious a sound as it could
manage, but the big rooster just
kept on pecking until Blackie's
young master came to the rescue
and separated them
An hour later, when prizes were
awarded, Blackie was the queen of
the feline world, selected as the cat
with the longest tail. The rooster.
called "Egghead" by its owner, was
just an also-ran in the chicken con-
test.
The upper floor of the Boys Club
building at 261 Seventeenth street
Sc. was nothing short of bedlam as
approximately 30 youngsters, in
cluding two girls, entered every kind
of pet that crawls, swims or walks.

The jeep was making history as

and old alike, about the streets Of
the autoless island in Chesapeake

A number of younger Tangier
residents rode in an automobile for
the first time in boarding the jeep,
but most Tangier adults have ridden
in a car before on some occasion or
another.
The jeep, with a driver, was loaned

day unanimously adopted resolu-
tion opposing construction of a

but offered full cooperation" in
selecting another county site.
The action followed the appear
ance Of two veterans groups, one

effect on patients and the site is
not large enough to permit in
clusion of necessary ational
facilities.
Letter Estate Suggested.
1t also recommended that the
Veterans Administration investi-
gate other suitable sites in Arlington
and Fairfax Counties, and specifi-
cally recommended consideration of
the former Joseph w. Letter estate
of approximately 100 acres, located
west of the Chain Bridge and the
Fairfax County line and now owned
by the Federal Government.
In this connection 1t was noted
that the extension of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway will
pass this property and that it is now
readily accessible from the District
by means of the Leesburg pike.

wants the proposed 750-bed hospital
on the Nevius tract despite the edppo-
sition of Arlington authorities.

the veterans group which favored
the site. sharply criticized opposition
to the tract previously expressed by

bell and County Manager Frank C..
Hanrahan.

statement by Mr.. Hanrahan that
the war is over.

Dugan said, but the war will never
be over for disabled veterans" Act
/ ing Board Chairman F. Freeland
Chew interrupted Mr.. Dugan to de-
clare this statement had been mis-
interpreted and that there was no
| intention to refer to disabled vet
! Grams.
A formal resolution opposing the
use of the Nevius property for the
hospital was presented to the board
by James C. Buchanan, past COM
mander of the John Lyon Post,
Veterans Of Foreign Wars and past
commander of the Billy Mitchell
Post. American Legion.

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The Oakland Acorns and the San Francisco Seals could sigh with relief today, the Oaks be- cause they still were in first place and the Seals because they still were only a game behind.
 Both won ooubleheaders Sunday to climax a week of tough and go baseball The Oaks took six of sev- en during the week from Seattle and the Seals six of seven from San Diego.
 Big Les Scarsella of Oakland had a great day Sunday He hit five for seven, batting in four runs, and collecting his twenty first homer, which won the nightcap in the sixth, Al. Don Pulford, starting fir his first time on the Seattle mound had hurled shutout ball up to that point. Tn his own half of the fifth Pullord had blasted out | triple, scoring Bill Beard who had singled to get on. The Oaks won the opener 5-33.
 At San Diego, Seals pitcher Frank Rossi drove in the winning run Of the opener in the seventh 9fter Joe Hoover singled and went 10 second on Joe Spring sacrifice punt. He scored from there for the 2-1 edge.

 The Swedish track star, Lennert Strand. didn't break any records Saturday in taking the 15-hundred meter race in the national A-A-U track and field meet at San An tonio, Texas But the way the Swe- dish thin man won indicated that he might have given the record book a good going over if he had wanted to.
 Strand won in breeze, finishing thirty yards ahead of America $ premier miller, Leslie MacMitchell. His time fer the 15 hundred meter race was three minutes, 54 and five -tenths seconds.
 The days top performance was turned in by big Bob Fitch of Minnesota who broke the worlds record for the discus throw. Fitch threw the platter 179 feet and one eighth cf an inch to crack the old record by more than four feet.
 The New York Athletic Club won the team championship with a total of 79 points.
 P If you see a lot of players bunch ed around some boy who gets knocked cold in an all American football conference game next fall it may be that they aren't there just because of idle curiosity. Several clubs have insurance agents on their rosters; Gene Ellenson of the Miami Seahawks is a sports writer; Vic Francis of Brooklyn is dentistry student and Bill Schroeder of the San Francisco 49ers runs a dental lab; Bob Mole sar of the Cleveland Browns is an intern and Otto Graham of the same club runs a drug business, Ed Korisky of the Los Angeles Dcns hopes to establish his own bacter- iology laboratory and John Bill man of the Brooklyn Dodgers is a mortician.
