The farm has been in opera

Krill was impressed with Ger

keted by the fraction of a bushel

They are not as juicy as straw

Of the German people, Krill
says those he saw "seem to know
where they are going. They have
a twinkle in their eye and a
spring in their step"
Complicating food supply con-

land scarcity rather than of neg
iigence. Krill praised German
farmers for what they are doing
with land that has been in cul-
tivation for hundreds of years
longer than American soil.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 7.-Arthur
Swami, 18-year-old former inmate
of the District Training School

10-year prison term for the fatal
shooting of a fellow inmate in
January. 1850, on the grounds of
Fort George G.. Meade.
Judge w. Calvin Chestnut said
he would impose sentence Monday

The youth. who lived in the 500
block of Cove street Sc, had been
charged in connection with the
death of Raymond Thorne, Is,
after the two fled from the train
ling school with a stolen shotgun.
Swami returned to the training
school after throwing the shotgun
away. Young Thorne's body was
found six months later after au-
thorities investigated Swann's
story.
In October. 1850, Judge Chestnut
decided Swami was incapable of
assisting in his own defense and
committed him to Federal men,

72-Yeor-O Old Man Who Died After Street Fight
Long, Time Groundkeeper at Griffith Stadium

yards of sod annually at Griffith
Stadium.
Joe Judge, Georgetown's base
ball coach and former star first
baseman OF the Mats, recalled a
bit of little-known baseball lore
today in connection with Haisman.
One of the groundkeeper's farorite
tricks, according to Judge, was to
slope the third base line toward
home plate when Ty Cobb came
to town so he'd have difficulty
in laying down a bunt. When
employed by the Tigers, Haisman
sloped the line toward third base.
Haisman's work was not con-
fined to the major leagues. He
fashioned number of college
fields, among them those at
Georgetown, Maryland, the Naval
Academy and Quantico.
For the last five years Haisman
had kept happily busy at George
town. His last major job on the
Hilltop was the complete rebuild
ing of the cinder track.
Just before his death, he was
preparing the Hoya diamond for
the coming season.
Haisman is survived by his
widow. Services were held this
morning at the Timothy Han
lon funeral home. Georgetown
athletes were pallbearers-Bill
Mitchell, Tom Hardiman, Hugh
Murphy, Vim Cino, Pat O'Brien
and Chuck Boyle.

Emil Jerome Haisman was
buried this morning in Cedar Hill
Cemetery. He met a tragic death
several days ago. but due to mis-
spelling of his name it was not
known until today, except to a
few, that another Griffith Sta
dunn oldtimer had passed on.
Haisman was the ball parks
groundkeeper, and he was an
artist at it. In fact. many ac-
claimed him as the greatest in his
field. He was employed by the
Washington ball club from 1926 to
1941, and at the time of his
death, at 70, was employed as
athletic groundkeeper at George
town University. There he built
q fine college diamond and one
of the fastest cinder paths in the
East.
Haisman died early Monday as
a result of injuries received in
an alteration with Charles O..
Hill, so, of the 200 block of Rock
Greek Church road. The two men
were fighting outside a Georgia
avenue restaurant when Haisman
was knocked down and his head
struck the pavement. Hill is being
held for the grand jury.
The veteran groundkeeper had
spent 81 of his 70 years working
around ball parks. Born in Chi
cago, he started out doing odd
jobs at the old West Side Park,
then the home of the Cubs, while
playing hockey from school. Those
were the days of Cap Anson, Sill
yer Flint, Billy Sunday and the
other immortals on AnSon's Colts.
Until he went to Pittsburgh to
serve as groundkeeper at the
Pirates new Forbes Field, which
opened in 1909, Haisman worked
at one or the other of the Chi
cago ball parks. The job he did
at Forbes Field enhanced his rep
utation and made him greatly in
demand.
Laying out the Pirates new
park seemed simple enough att
first until it was discovered that
it would be necessary to remove
a hill in what is now left field. |
The hill was of soft rock and
bluestone, 100000 cubic yards of
It. Haisman blasted away the
