SCOUT PRIZE


Editor, The Citizen:
There Is talk going around
ahosGt q certain happening at the
latest scout rally, the amateur
night" sponsored by Troop So.
We have always heard that any
organization sponsoring a prize
contest could not compete for the
cash prize.
Not so. Il seems in scout rules.
Having offered the cash prize,
Truup SO does an about face and
collects their own prize. Well,
thats one way Of getting quick
money But il sounds more like
indian giving 10 us on the out
side
A SQUARE SHOOTER.

Adams Dairy victory over the
american Legion in a wild sec
ond game last night threw the
softbali league into four-way tie
ior second place. 1t was the first
loss for Legion.
The Lunchmen's victory is even
more outstanding when it is
pointed out that Legion piled up
II runs in the second inning, aft
ler scoring two in the first round
That's a big lead for any team
and as the Legionnaires up To
men were undefeated, it looked
Ike another easy win for them
However, Adams Dairymen had
other ideas and put them into eff
fect-successfully.
Sixteen players went to bat for
Legion in that big 11-run second
inning. ]. Ogden and F, Villa
real each poled two singles in
that one round.
Not TO be outdone, Adams
Dairy on seven hits, including
a homer by p. Valdez, scored
eight runs in the fourth to tie the
score. Legion had scored twice
IN the third to gain total of Il
runs, while the Dairymen had
scored seven runs, four in the
FIRST, one in the second and two
m the third, before going wild
IN the eight-run fourth stanza.
Now that they had wiped out
the seemingly overwhelming Lee
giOn lead the Dairymen couldn't
stop there. They must go on tc
victory-and that they did, by
of all things, the margin of g
single run. They scored that
lone marker in the sixth on q
single by Ingraham, an error anc
another single by F. Sands. That
meant victory but Legion must
have us turn at bat now. They
did, and went down for the count
without a threat,
AZ bat. j. Lewis, Al Cruz, F
Sands and P. Valdez each hi
safely twice for the winners. F
lVillareal poled three for the los
ers and ]. Ogden got two.
In the field, Hopkins, ]. Villa,
real and f. Tynes played well TO,
Legion, J. Lewis, Al Cruz and In
graham for the Dairymen.

cARETAKER MAS

We know of a lot of good work
being done to attempt to keep
MAS in a higher status than
caretaker. Bernie interviewed
Undersecretray of Navy Sullivan
but could get no commitment.
At present it is due to go into
caretaker status June /, but
could go to a higher status if
the Navy decides so without
much forn1ality. Looks like little
meat on that bone. But we should
never give up trying.

WASHINGTON DOES TRICK

WASHINGTON DOES TRICK
The manner in which the bud
get is handled by the Navy De-
partment in Washington is to
submit a budget to local naval
heads to see if they can operate
within it. Naval heads here then
dig into it and can ask for more
money. Sometimes they get a
few dollars more" as I was told
today. The central Naval De-
partment in Washington knows
pretty well the operating budgets
for the various outlying naval
units and tries to keep within
reason and the dictates of the
final approval of the budget as
passed by the House and Senate.

 LEAGUE MEETING

In revolutionary move to com- bat player dissatisfaction, profes- sional baseball gave it's players a chance to contribute their views, when Commissioner Happy" Chandler held two-league meet ing of owners and players =. A sort of LIN with spikes.
 It was a wonderful opportunity for the players to thrash out their problems with the boss, and they were very enthusiastic In fact. they brought their bats along
 Naturally, Leo Duroeher wasn't invited The owners were afraid he'd filibuster. But even without "Lippy" the meeting was quite lively and the Athletics started an argument that lasted two hours . they wanted lights in the cellar!
 When the players came to a full agreement, oddly enough it was turned down. After all, you just can't go around killing umpires Their demands certainly were strange. The pitchers wanted cuspidors on the mound, the in- fielders wanted iodine painted on all spikes, and they all agreed that the right field fences be moved out for Ted Williams. Yes, sir, things have changed in base ball . Now an umpire can't call a strike without arbitration.
 The boys are really well pleased employees now that their demands have been met. It was only na- tural though that they get what they wanted They came to the meeting wearing sombrerosl

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 9-The other afternoon I encountered an old acquaintance-a professional pro- motor who, in the twenty odd years that I've known him, has had as many ups and downs as a scenic railway. This time he was fat and sassy.
 Hollywood, my son. he told me benignly, has become a bonanza. Nine people out of ten are eager to invest in sideline businesses-an thing that will permit them to show capital gains on their income tax returns. You'd be surprised if you knew how many stars are "angeling" enterprises that they know nothing about"
 The old-timer began to cite in- stances. This celebrity has acquired a string of apartment houses, that one is financing wildcat oil ven- ture, asother is backing a half f-doz- en used car lots. Brian Donlevy has sunk big dough into desert gold mines, Peter LaWford is the silent partner in an exclusive haberdash- cry. Johnny Coy is in the cleaning and pressing business, Gene Autry is MT. Big in new air line, Barry Sul- livan is (of all thingsD investing in an angleWorm farm" where worms for fishermen will be canned and shipped to Isaak Wal tons. The list goes indefinitely to include almost every business under the sun.
 I say almost" for one notable reason. The old timer couldn't cite a single instance Of a movie star in Vesting real cash in motion pie ture Screen stars never do. Super stition says an investment of that kind is invariably bad luck.
