A series of organizational meet
ings which commenced on Ground
Hog Day were concluded last night
"wednesday, March 31st) as
Charlie Sullivan, President of the
Montgomery County Baseball
League, announced that this six
team, county league would official
ly open on Sunday, April 25th,
with all games getting underway
promptly at P. M.
The Rockville All Stars, who
won the Montgomery County pen
nant last year, will open at Welsh
Field against the newly formed
Wheaton Wonders who are being
sponsored this year by the Wheat
on Chamber of Commerce.
Team manager Joe Hutchinson
and business manager Sammy
Keyes will again be at the helm Of
the championship. Rockville All
Stars. While the Rockville nine
will be composed of many hold
Movers, several former stars have
been released and others added in
quest for new strength. In this
connection the most important ad-
dition is the keystone combination
of second-sacker Clarke Windsor
and short-stop Bill Reber, who last
year carried the now defunct Cal
thersburg nine. No less an addi-
tion is one Mr.. Belt who caught
for Gaithersburg last year and is
scheduled to star behind the plate
in a Rockville uniform during the
1948 season.
Another opening day spectacle
will find Joe Gibson's Colesville
team entertaining Doc Mannar'
Potomac Brewers on the Colesville
diamond in Bonifant's Meadow
The Colesville ball team were the
hardluck champions of last year
when they won out during the
regular playing season but lost tht
semi-fnals of the championship
play-offs to Rockville. '"They DOM

says Doc Manner. IF l can't sup
port Potomac into a. championship
this year then the Brewers will
stop supporting me in which event
l will stop supporting Potomac.
To avoid the dire consequences of
such a vicious circle, Doc is re-
ported to have signed up several
outstanding stars in the greater
Washington area in an about eff
fort to cop the championship for
the little town after which he
claims the Potomac River was
named.
The other opening day unveil-
ing in the Montgomery County
League will find tie Bethesda team
playing host to the Sandy Spring
A. C. on the ball diamond of the
Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School. D. A. Sperau will again
manage the Bethesda team. This
was a potentially great team last
year which won many important
games but lost a few too many
contests they were expected to win
with ease.
The acquisition of four new
players by the Bethesda team may
be just enough to put them over
the hump. At the same time Bob
Bonifant, the cagey manager of
the Sandy Spring A. c., will fight
all the way with strictly local tai
ent. Reliable reports indicate that
Bonifant made several substantial
strengthening moves during the
winter in an apparently successful
effort to gain new talent from
sources outside the Sandy Spring
area but was later stymied when
the Quaker City Athletic Associa-
ton voted to limit team member
sfip to local boys.
All things considered the Mont
gomery County League should of
fer local ball fans even greater
spectator entertainment and sport
than was possible during the high
lly successful season last year. Il
is now composed of six teams vir
tually equal in ability. By drop

Specialist Gives
Information On
Thistle Control

A number of inquiries from
farmers have been received re-
Gently by the Extension Service
of the University of Maryland
regarding the control of thistles.
These unlimited guests" appear
Unexpectedly each spring, often in
large numbers, to mar the appear
ance of pastures, permanent mea-
dows, and fence rows-and because
of their prickly leaves have a
way of making their presence
painfully felt.
According to Russell G. Brown,
associate professor of botany at
the University of Maryland, the
common, or "bull" thistle is a bien-
NAL. During the first year, the
Seeding develops a large root and
rather inconspiciuous rosette of
leaves, while the familiar tall stalk
with lavender flower heads ap-
pears the following year. The
hairy fruits, or seeds, Brown
states, are easily carried by the
wind and often blow for miles. Be-
cause of this, new thistle plants
may become established through
out an entire neighborhood by
seeds blown from a single weedy
field.
The most effective means of
control, Brown advises, is to pre-
vent seeding by killing the plants
before Towering, preferably over
wide area. This should be done
during the first two weeks of April
by hand-spudding, cutting the
crown and main ROCKWELL below
the surface of the soil. If there
is particularly heavy infesta-
ton, Brown adds, it will be advis-
able to spray the plants with a
weed-killer containing 2, AID. This
should also be done during the
first half of April before the grass
has grown high enough to pre-
vent this spray from striking the
thistles.
If you control your thistles in
this manner, Brown believes, and
can get your neighbors to control
theirs, most of these troublesome
weeds should disappear altogether.
"But," he concludes, II am afraid
that a certain number of thistles,
ike the poor, will always be with
u.s."

And how do Catholics know
theirs is Christ's church,
Because it possesses the distin-
gushing marks Christ gave His
Church. 1t covers the earth as Christ
said it would. Unchanged after
nearly 1000 years, it continues to
live and grow. in fulfllment of His
promise that His Church would
last to the end of the world.
But the most convincing mark
that He gave it is its unity of faith,
worship and obedience under the
authority of the lawful and histori-

Church. just as Peter was the first
Pope and the first Vicar of Christ,
