Lopat is another rare character
in a new form. He is one of the
few living citizens who was born
in New York City. This happy
event, for the Yankees, took place
in June, 1918, just SO years ago.
In spite Of his brilliant start,
life this year was not all milk
and honey for Ieft-hander Lo-
pat. Eddie started as = first
baseman with Greensburg In
the Pennsylvania State League,
then moved to Jeanerette, deep
in the bush, In 1887. That was
some IA years ago. He worked
with Jeanerette, KilgOre,
Shreveport, Longview, Mar
shall, Salina, Oklahoma City,
and Little Rock before he final
ly reached the White SOx In
1914. He won IL and dropped 10
for the White Sox that year, =
rare achievement any season
while pitching for the White
SOx.
Starting the 1851 campaign Lopat
has won 100 and lost rs games for
a winning average of .562. 1t is a
much better average now with his
1851 start. .,
Lefty Lopat is now thinking of
writing a book cA1:ed Life Begins
lat 49," In this three years with
the Yankees, up to 1851, Lopat has
awoQ, So games up through 1850 and
lost only 20. He waited Is pro sea-
sons Before getting the best start
he has ever known. Last season
Lopat won 10 and lost for his
best record to date. Unless some
one starts throwing hand grenades,
1881 should be by all odds his best
year. 50 .58

Other League Games

In league games the past week,
Damascus, Colesville, Gaithersburg
and Burtonsville, all added a win
to their seasons record. Friday
night at Gaithersburg saw Damas-

close game all the way, it took an
unearned run to down the battling
Redlanders.
Sunday, Burtonsvile travelled to
Beallsville to take a 1913 decision
from the Fireman. Luhn and
Poole hurled for UMCFD, but
couldn't silence the visitors bats.
Deadrick's homer and two triples,
and Hurts home run, weren't quite
enough to save their team from its
fourth loss.
Up at Germantown, Colesville
broke up a tight ball game by scor-
ing four times in the ninth inning
to beat Germantown 8-3. Until
that frame, Hal Morris was pitch
ing pretty good ball game to trail
by only 4-3. Bob Love did the
hurting for Colesville to keep them
undefeated and at the top of the
league.
At Redland, Gaithersburg won
its second straight game 1O-4, be-
hind the steady eight-hit hurting
of George Smith. The visitors
raped the offerings of Redland
hurler, Scribner, for ID safeties to
hand Redland it's seventh straight
loss.
Friday night, June 8, will find
Colesville and Damascus clashing
under the lights at Gaithersburg
in what should prove to be a good
game. Sunday Rockville will travel
to Damascus, Colesville will enter
tain Germantown, UMCFD and
Burtonsville collide again, while
Redland tries to get in the win
column at Gaithersburg.

Hardin Sugar Mill
Closes Tuesday:
Harvest Continuing

Approximately $50 acres, or
9 per cent of the 1851 sugar
beet crop in the Hardin area
remained to be harvested to-
day, according to agricultural
officials of Holly Sugar Corp.
With warmer weather of the
past several days, frost is rap
idly leaving the ground in prac-
tically all areas of the Hardin
district, and mechanical har-
vesterS have begun to operate
again, in addition to the hand
labor which is working in the
fields.
The Hardin sugar beet factory
closed its regular campaign at
II am. Tuesday, Nov. II, with
the shortest processing cam
paign in the plants history.
However, beetS are still being
received by the company and
rIill either be processed here or
. shipped to another factory, of
ficialS said, depending upon the
tonnage delivered.
Hampered by unfavorable
weather during the past several
weeks, the harvest has been un-
usually slow this fall, but a
matter of a few more days of
mild weather would see the
digging of beetS completed, Of
ficialS believe.

but it has cost money to put it
in this condition.

is but one way to replenish the
building fund. That is to call
upon our friends to help. We

Indian Office Makes Recommendation
10 Secretary Of Inferior for :
Termination Of Crow Lending Program
Director SdYs Loom
Operations Not
Directed on Sound Bdsis

The Billings Area office is
recommending that the Secre-
tary of Interior stop all lending,
including cattle and that both
the cash and cattle loan pro-
grams of the Crow Indian res
ervation be closed out, accord
ing to a letter to the Crow
tribe from Paul L. Fickinger,
area director.
The letter is being mailed to
the Crow tribe and was naade
public by L.. c.. Lippert, Crow
Indian reservation superintend-
ent.
The recommendation was
made, according to MI. Ticking
er'S letter because "We con-
clude, reluctantly, from the ir-
responsible action taken by your
General Council on November
Z that the members of the Crow
tribe are not interested at this
time in trying to operate a
sound credit program"
The letter explained the &C
ton as follows:
Under the term of your loan
contract with the United States,
the Tribal Credit committee is
responsible for managing the
lending program, including the
collections of loans made to
borrowers.
"a loan for $6O6 and ~ cattle
was approved to Robert Yellow
tail, Jr., April Is, 1948. This loan
became delinquent September !,
1948. The Credit committee was
asked by the superintendent,
this office, and the commission
er to take action to collect this
delinquent loan, but they re-
fused to do so, and as a;reSult
the Assistant Secretary of the
Interior notified the Grow tribe
on September "a, 1851, that they
would not be permitted to- make
any more cash loans to mem
berS until this loan had been
collected and the tribes credit
operations placed on a sound
basis.
"'On September %, 1851, the
Tribal Credit committee did
take action on another serious
loan case involving the Illegal
sale of security mortgaged to
the tribe by Theodore! Bear
Cloud and his wife. In this ac-
ton they voted to declare the
Bear Cloud loans in default, and
directed liquidation.
