The County League
By SAM DAWSON

Three teams in the County
League remain undefeated at the
end Of the second week of play in
the second half of the current pen
nant race as Potomac, Greenbelt
and Silver Spring continued to
bowl over their opposition without
even breaking a sweat.
TIE Potomac nine, which has
been augmented and improved I'M
der the able guidance of Peyton
doc" Mannar, team sponsor, to
the point that Potomac now boasts
about the best balanced team in the
county, whipped Bethesda 8 to l
on the latter's field. Ray Briden-
hacker, Rockville cast-off who was
signed by Potomac when he became
a free agent three weeks ago,
struck out twelve men while Civ
ing up only two hits and two
walks. The Bethesda pitching bur-
den was shared internationally by
Bowbeer, Bort, Farm and Brown
who collaborated in giving up ~
hits to the Potomac sluggers. 1t
was the timely hitting of Jimmy
Schwab, Potomac receiver, and
Del ohm. stellar short-stop, that ac-
counted for most of Potomac's
luns. Schwab's clutch hitting, in
cidentally, is becoming established
as a regular Sunday feature. Be-
thesda's lone run was an unearned
affair made possible through the
courtesy of Buster Day who rem
dered a one-man exhibition of how
to drop a pop fly at third base.
Meanwhile, Greenbelt continued
to make good on their threat to
take it all" in the second half by
beating Sandy Spring 5 to on the
Greenbelt ball field. Nebasco and
Enzor twirled for Greenbelt and
held the Quakers to nine hits, Ne
basco receiving credit for the win.
Powell and Lyon did the fiinging
for Sandy Spring and were touched
for eleven hits including 2 triples
and a single off the bat of Lou
Tierney, Greenbelt catcher, who
has been leading the Greenbelt Of
tense all season.
Silver Spring romped over Morn
ingside 13 to and showed no
mercy in collecting 18 hits off the
Messrs. William and Bill Herbert,
father and son chuckers, as we'll as
Dowd who was in there tossing
them at the end of the slaughter.
Bill Giller, Silver Spring ace, was
operating in front of command
ing lead throughout the contest
and seemed satisfied to coast to
victory without exerting himself.
At the same time Stan Holtz, big
first-sacker and the Rudy York of
the Silver Springmen, failed to
make home run in four trips to
the plate. The best Stan could do
was rap out single, double and
triple.
Colesville bounced back in the
win column with 6 to 8 victory
over Cissel Saxon. Ed Schneider,
Anglo-Saxon fiipper who consti-
tutes the entire Cissell Saxon
pitching staff, went down in defeat
before nine base blows by the
Colesville stickmen. Brother Love
who usually pitches for 1Colesville
and can really dish it out, decided
to see if he could take it for a

White Sidewalk tires, as illustrated,
VIII be supplied at extra cost as soon as available.

You'd sort of like to get your
hands on a car as big and mighty
as this : if you thought the better
half could be sold on it.
Take our tip y she's already sold.
Favored as it is by red-blooded
males, no Buick we've ever
offered has won the smart sex
quite like this one.
SO why not pull pleasant sur.
prise some evening soon? Just
come home and say, well, 1
placed an order for a Buick to-
day. They're taking 'em with or
without a car to trade"
Then watch her fall all over your
neck!

lars as well as reserves and boast
pitching stats of four or more
capable pitchers. In addition Po-
tomac has in Jimmy Schwab. and
G1eenbelt in Lou Tierney, two Of
the best fielding, hardest hitting
and smartest playing catchers in
the League. This game should be a
well-fought affair and at this point
it is my five against your six and
you can name your Choice.
Otkcr games will find Colesville
at Gaithersburg while Cissell Sax
on's Anglo-Saxon nine does battle
on the Silver Spring diamond.
Morningside will be smuggling it out
with the Quakers at Sandy Spring
while the desperate Rockville and
Bethesda mines will lock horns at
Bethesda. The loser of this contest
should gain a decisive look on last
place, for the time being at least.

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby
Readers Want to Know,

Often: Why are the counties of
Louisiana called parishes after
some man named Parish2-A. N. A.
Answer: Sorry, no. Parish evolved,
in a roundabout way, from the
Greek paroikos, "a neighborhood,"
hence an ecclesiastical district. The
word parochial is from the same
source. The Louisiana parishes
(counties), date from 1907. They
were originally parochial divisions,
and they bear the names of saints.
Memphis: What is the best pro-
nunciation of the word menu?-
Mrs. j. w. H.
Answer: The standard American
pronunciation is: MEN-yoo. The
occasionally heard "MAIN-yoo" is
pseudo French. T do not recon-
mend it.
Newark: What Is the origin of
found" in eighty dollars a month
and found" ?-Mrs. w. J. r.
Answer: It's an old American
idiom, the past participle of the
verb to find. 1t means food and
lodgings" Here is an example taken
from book dated 1880: Il get IL
dollars a month and found, which
is better than keeping school at 5
dollars and find myself"
San Bernardino: Is it athletic
feet, athletes foot, athletic foot"
or athletes feet"?-M. H.
Answer: Dorland's Medical Die
tionary shows only athletes foot"
But, just between us two, my Zany
assistant, DR.. Etaoin Shrdlu, re-
fuses to call the disease by any
other name than dermatophytosis
of the foot pronounced DER-muh-
y-TOE-siss) from dermato-,
hide, skin" plus phytosis, fungus
infection"
Richmond: Please give the pro-
nunciation of the French word
ennui-Mrs. H.
Answer: In the French pronun-
citation, the first syllable has the
nasal sound, thus: ah tn) WEE. The
standard American pronunciation
is: AHN-wee,
Milwaukee: I contend 1t Is cor
rect to pronounce says" to rhyme
with hays, bays, days. Can you
help me win the argumentP--
G. B. M.
Answer: Sorry, no. The word
says is "sez," to rhyme with 'fez."

/ Opening lead, king OF ulamonoS.
That the female of the species is
becoming more and more deadly as
time rolls by is readily apparent TO
those of us who habitrally make
the grand tour of the bridge world.
At the time of going to press, ] am
still bearing an llnhealed wound
inflicted upon me In Kansas City by
fragile little damsel using blunt
instrument in the shape OF grand
slam which none OF the able bodied
male contestants were venturesome
enough to WELD.
More recently I returned to the
scene of my college days for the
province of quebec championships ir,
Montreal, and there under the por-
tails Of McGill I observed rugged
ness of the so-called weaker sex, that
the campus scarcely witnessed IN
the good old rugby days. In this post
war era we may expect to incur con-
siderable opposition from our cousins
to, the north, sample OF which Is
presented today in this display OF
aggressiveness and dummy technique
by Miss Jackie Begin OF Montreal.
I am completely out of sympathy
with the tactics of the East and West
pair. Vulnerable sacrifices against
nonvulnerable game contracts are o
most precarious way of earning q
livelihood. East should have realized
that the loss would amount to more
than the value of game. On the
other hand, West. ought to have
diagnosed that this hand contained
little defensive values. Partners ad-
Yertised length in diamonds made it
almost certain that no more than
one diamond trick could be cashed,
if that; and the king Of clubs was
known to be under the gun
Miss Begin ruffed the opening
diamond lead and drew four rounds
of trumps. retaining one, and dis
carding two little hearts from dunn
my, blallking the ace. After the
club finesse succeeded, five clubs
were run, declarer, discarding two
hearts. All hands were now down to
three cards, but West. He held two
hearts and two diamonds with a
discard yet to make. This he found
a rather unpleasant chore. If he let
go the, jack of diamonds, declarer
would ruff the little one in her own
hand and establish the queen as
winner. Hoping that East held the
jack of hearts. he let go the queen.
The ace of hearts was then cashed
dropping the king and declarer's jack
stood up for the 18th trick. A tidy
profit of $500 points.
