Coach Joe DiMatteo sent his
second team into the fray and
benched his ace Chef Giermak,
who had given the Green Wave
plenty of trouble during the open
ing half as he led the Dayton
team with his set shots, as did
Wally Salovich and Bob Green.
The Wherefore five rallied in the
second half and with the sharp
shooting of Elmer Bolds, who
dropped four straight field goals
in the basket for the Green Wave,
the state college went out in front
to lead the Gems, 41-36, after 13
straight points we're registered by
the boys from Xenia. The game
was a nip and tuck affair with the
score being knotted twice, 43-43
and 45-45. Despite the lead being
taken again by "Pappy" Smith Of
State, who scored with a lay-up
and a foul shot, Whit Brown
came through with a lay-up to
put the Gems out front for the
remainder of the game. Before the
Wilberforce boys could get their
combination together, the Gems,
with Giermak leading the attack,
mustered enough points to bring
the final score to a 63-57 victory
for the Dayton team. Giermak was
high for the Gems, with Towers
and Bolds for state.
THE 1851 ALL STAR game will
be played at Briggs Stadium in
Detroit on July 10, scene OF n OF
the greatest junior circuit
| triumphs in the long series OF mid
summer classics. That was the IT,
Al game in the Motor City, when
the American League, trailing by
the score of 5 to 8 going into the
ninth inning, pulled the game out
of the fire with four runs. Three
of them came by Ted Williams
homer, with two on and two men
out. The 1851 game was schedul-
ed for Philadelphia, but due to the
inter-league battle as part OF the
| 25Oth civic birthday festival, the
Philis waived their scheduled game
to the Tigers. Of the II games
played, the Americans have won
~ and lost five. The 1850 game
went to the National League in a

the New York Giants.
The three were Short stop Art
Wilson, formerly of the Birming-
ham Barons of the Negro Ameri-
a League; Cuban catcher Ray
Noble of the New York Cubans,
Negro National League, and pit
cher Allen Gettell, a Highlander
with a record of % wins and only
seven losses for the Coast team.
Not to mention the deal of Roy
Weatherly, an up and coming
catcher who may be the difference
in the winning of the 1851
National League bunting.
Taking them, one by one, Will
sons record in the Pacific Coast
league is an outstanding one with
a batting average of .348 in 1949,
and .321 in 1850. While his bat
ting did slip in the 80 campaign,
he did lead the Pei with .264 and
stole 81 bases. Noble, while only
with the Coast team in the 1850
season, jumped to notice by leaps
and bounds according to the sport
writer's on the coast and to the ex-
tent that skipper Dresser told
them he wouldn't trade or sell to
any other club regardless. The
same was said about the right
handler, pitcher AL Gettel and
catcher Roy Weatherly.
Had Dresser known at the time
of the deal that he was in line for
managing the Dodgers and to re-
place Burt Shotten, he would
never have handed Leo Durocher
and Horace Stoneham, owner of
the Giants, these "big three boys
over for the cash amount of $685.
OOO." Not only is he expecting
these potential stars to haunt him
everytime the Dodgers and the
Giants meet, but the thought of
having given his closest rivals the
material that may we'll be the
means of winning the 1851 pen
nant.
Already the experts have rated
the Giants the most dangerous RI
walls Of the Dodgers in the chase
for the flag.

deer and all the other big Yule-
tide trappings are gone.
For several years this town
just of U. S. Route / between
Baltimore and Washington, was
the closest thing in. the country
to Santa's workshop.
Harry H. Helm, ST.. bought ur
most of the town in 1947, when
the Savage Manufacturing Co
shut down its 200-year-old cotton
mill after business declined in the
post-World War II period.
Mr.. Helm converted the mill tc
the making of Christmas orna-
ments. He dressed up the town in
Christmas trappings. renamed il
Santa Helm (heim in German
means home), and developed ii
into a sort of Yuletide carnival
But the venture proved to be a
financial failure. Last spring the
mill was sold to the National Store

and an auction was held to dis
pose OF the machinery used to
make the Christmas decorations.

William r. Turner, executive
secretary of the Prince Georges
County Citizens Committee for
Good Government. has renewed
his claim that the county has an
unallocated surplus of about $18
million.
Mr.. Turner made this contention
in a letter to the county commits
sioners who place the county's
surplus at $31S.O13O2. They don't
like to call it surplus, however.
since they say it is a working bal
ance, and a mighty small one at
that for $7.5 million budget.
Mr.. Turner went to the mat
with the commissioners and their
auditor on the surplus issue in a
spirited debate Nov. 13. 1t was
agreed at that time by Mr.. Turner
and Edgar v. Loweree, of a Bal

plus funds totalling at least
$4,000.

Mr.. Turner, for his part, asked
that the door be left open, since

come up with a new analysis of
county finances which takes him
right back to his original conten-

county has an excess of assets
over liabilities in the general and
road funds of $1,810,032.77.
But the commissioners and Mr..

Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

LA PLATA, Md, Nov. 24.-The
Charles County Liquor Board to-
day withheld decision on issuance
Of a license for a Colonial Beach
pier pending further study.
Four residents of the Virginia
resort town attended a special
meeting of the board but all made
it clear they were present as "ob-
servers"
The meeting was called to con-
slider an application filed by Bruce
Shymansky of Cobb Island for
Monte Carlo, an offshore slot ma
chine and liquor establishment
owned by c. Walter Hendrix. A IL
cense used at Monte Carlo was
surrendered several weeks ago
when the board started an investi-
cation of all pierhead licenses.
Resolution Opposes Liquor.
Hendrix was convicted of per-
Jury here Wednesday and is
awaiting trial on four other in
dictments, three charge suborna-
ton of perjury. The other charges
sale of liquor without license.
Colonial Beach citizens here
today were Councilman John F.
Ware; H. E. Geissinger. proprietor
of the New Atlanta Hotel; John
E. Mayo. attorney, and Delbert
w. Conner, operator of Little Reno
pierhead.
Closeted last night with the
LIQUOR board counsel. Robert T.
Barbour, were Ferdinand p.

ney for Westmoreland County,

Beach town attorney and Coun-
Gilman B. F. benson.
Four of the six members Of the
Colonial Beach council at a spe-
cial meeting Thursday voted for
a resolution opposing all pierhead
liquor and slot machine licenses.
Councilmen Stanley G. Adams and
George Rick were absent. Mr..
Mason brought the resolution
with him.
Considered A Nuisance.
The special meeting was called
by Mayor L. c. Costenbader after
receipt of notice from the local
liquor board that Virginians were
invited to present their views.
Slot machine and liquor licenses
for pierheads over Maryland
water are issued by Charles
County on the premise that the
Free State extends on the Potomac
River to the low-water mark on
the Old Dominion shore.
In it's resolution, the council
said it objected to offshore Ii
censes because sit is against public
policy of the State of Virginia
and the town of Colonial Beach" ."
The resolution further declared
that sale of liquor by the drink
and operation of slot machines
on the piers constitute nuis-

prince Georges Surplus Again
Put at $7.8 Million by official

term bank loans in the special and
metropolitan area funds. they
maintain; $460,000 is restricted
because of loans from the general
to the special and metropolitan
area funds, and $21.464.14 is tied
up in IAN inactive fund"
Mr.. Turner. in his letter, con-
tends. firstly, that part of a re-
cent bond issue which the county
sold is to be used to pay off most
of the $460.000 loan from the
general to the metropolitan and
special area funds and redeem
$125. 900 in bank loans payable
in the metropolitan area fund.
That, the civic leader reasons
increases the combined unallo-
Gated surplus from $318.013.02 to
1854, 1868.
Urges Long Term Notes.
Then. if the commissioners
would sell 10-year tax anticipa-
ton notes to cover the 81 million
in liabilities in the metropolitan
and special area funds. Mr.. Tur-
ner argues. that would free more
than 81 million now held in the
general fund to protect those liza
bilities which are in short-term
bank notes.
The commissioners have claimed
the metropolitan area improve
ment law restricts the county to
short-term bank notes as the only
legal means of financing improve
ments such as streets, sidewalks
lighting and drainage in the spe-
cial Improvement districts. The
improvements eventually are paid
for by the affected property own
ers through their tax bills over a
10-year period.
With the sale of tax anticipa-
ton notes. Mr.. Turner adds, the
short-term bank notes totaline
over 81 million can be repaid
along with the remainder of the
$3.50. 900 loan from the general to
the metropolitan and special
funds. That would increase the
surplus to $1.78S,568.63.
Finally. Mr.. Turner recommends
that the board. by resolution. de-
clare the restricted inactive funds
of $21 ,464.14 as part of the general
unallocated surplus, leaving q
grand total surplus of $1,8l0,032.77,
