Prince Georges
DisputeHo|dsUp
School Program
Row Over Retaining
Architect for County
To Be. Discussed
By J. |. MichoeI

Prince Georges County's s6.5
million school building program
has come to a virtual halt be-
cause of controversy over a
proposal to set up a county ar
chitect's Office.
The idea has been advanced by
several members of the county's
legislative delegation on the
ground it would save the tax
payers an estimated $250,000 in
architects fees during the next
three years.
County school officials contend,
however, the plan would save
nothing and would delay the con-
struction program. Also against
the proposal is DR.. Thomas G.
, Pullen. jr., State superintendent
of schools. and representatives of
the County Council of Parent
Teacher Associations.
The county commissioners are
reported ION the fence" but
anxious to get the building pro-
gram underway as quickly as pos
sible. They have asked the School
Board to complete its plans so
that bids may be sought about
the middle of next month.
Meeting Set Tuesday.
In an attempt to solve the prob
lem. the delegation. commission
ers and school Representatives will
discuss the matter Tuesday night
at the University of Maryland.
State Senator John R. Fletcher
and Delegate John F. Lillard, jr.,
Republicans. are in favor of the
plan. They said yesterday that
Albert R. Hassall and William r.
Hughes, two of the three other
Republican delegates, hold the
same view. The fourth Republi-
can delegae, Harry E. Taylor, is
expected to line up with his
G. o. P. colleagues.
Perry o. Wilkinson, one of the
two Democratic delegates, said he
is against the proposal He re-
called that a similar plan was
brought up two years ago and that
the Board of Education and DR..
Pullen were against it then.
The objections made against it
at that time are still valid" Mr..
Wilkinson said. "and I see no
reason to change my opinion"
Fees Put at S450,000.
The other Democratic delegate,
Leroy Humphrey, could not be
reached.
Senator Fletcher said the dele
CATION. has been discussing the
matter since it was informed sew
eral weeks ago that school archi-
tects' fees may total $450,000 in
the next three years"
IF such an amount is to be
paid out" he declared, cit is high
time that we set up an Office which
would be available not only for
school planning but also for other
county projects. I believe such an
Office would mean tremendous saw
ings and more efficient construc-
ton and inspection"
Mr.. Lillard said he favored the
plan not only because it promises
to save money Immediately but
also because of the huge" savings
that ultimately may be effected.
He pointed out the county plans
to spend $23 million on school con-
struction within the next five
years.
Mr.. Lillard discounted claims
Of school officials that introduction
of such legislation would delay the
construction program.
That would constitute no good
reason he asserted, Ito prevent
school authorities from going
ahead -

In simultaneous raids on the Plaza
Restaurant and two residences on
Saturday afternoon, by members of
the Police Department, seven
people were arrested three on
charges of bookmaking; one on a
charge of assaulting Police Officer
Joseph S. Plume; and four on dis
orderly house charges.
Following the raids, States At
torney John s. Hollyday and Police
Commissioner M. f. Ellinger made
the following joint statement:
Saturday afternoon a group of Of
ficers of the Hagerstown Police De-
partment made simultaneous raids
on three premises where bookmak-
ing has been allegedly conducted
The following places were en-
tered by the officers: Plaza Res
taurant, 10 North Potomac Street.
Residence of James Gray, 427
North Jonathan Street. Resi-
dence of Harry L. Carpenter,
1902 North Mulberry Street.
AS a result of the raid on the
Plaza Restaurant, John Lester Saum,
aged 81, of 229 E. Franklin Street,
was arrested on North Potomac
Street and a large sum of money
and betting slips were found on his
person when he was searched. Dur
ing the raid on the Plaza Restaurant
Officer Joseph S. Plume was struck
on the head by glass, allegedly pro-
PEELED by Bruce F. McLanahan, aged
70, of rs North Potomac Street. Of
ficer Plume was taken to the emer-
gency room of the Washington Coun-
ty Hospital, where it was necessary
to use five stitches to close the
wound in his scalp. McLanahan
was released on 100000 bond, on
charges of assault and disorderly
conduct
At the raid at 1902 North Null
berry Street, Harry L. Carpenter,
aged SO, was arrested, and more
than 100000 in cash and numerous
betting slips and other bookmak-
ing paraphernalia, was confscated
At 427 North Jonathan street
money, betting slips, racing forms
and other bookmaking equipment
was seized. Before the officers
could block the rear door, a color
ed man fled from the premises. Be-
fore the officers had reported tc
Headquarters on the result of this
raid, and before James Gray, aged
so, had been apprehended, his at
torney called Police Headquarters
to ascertain the amount of the bond
About an hour later Gray volun-
tarily appeared at Police Hedquar-
ters.
Saum, Carpenter and Gray were

all released on 100000 bond, on
charges of bookmaking.
AS a result of these raids, Charles
H. Saum, aged Sc, of 1913 North
Avenue, and William Reyes, aged 48,
of 455 North Jonathan Street, were
charged with being inmates Of
disorderly house; and Cornelia But
Ter, aged AZ, who also lives at APT
North Jonathan Street, was charged
with keeping a disorderly house
The officers who participated in
these raids were: Sergeant E. w.
Huffman and Acting Sergeant A.

Patrolmen N. W. Gerberich, r. NJ.
Harmon, D. w HORNE, H, c. House,
Harold Lefferts, A. c. Lowry, Jr., j.
S. Plume and William Prince.
The State will pray a Jury Trial
in all the cases charging persons
with bookmaking.
We would like to thank the many
law-abiding citizens who gave us
valuable information, which made
the success of these raids possible.
AS long as wives and children are
not getting enough food and cloth
ing, we feel sure that we will OBJ
tain sufficient evidence to close down
permanently any bookmaking es-
Establishments, or other illegal enter
prises.
1t is also our intention to request
the Liquor Board to revoke the
license of any establishment in
which we find bets are either made
or taken. Not only this, but in all
future cases the Grand Jury will be
asked to return indictments, not on
ly against the bookmaker, numbers
writer, or other professional gam
bier, but also against the bettor.
Judge Sherbow, of the Supreme
Bench, of Baltimore City, within the
last two weeks, has ruled that the
bettor is equally guilty with the
bookmaker.

Ray, who was batting 800 as this
is written, is in my opinion the most
moderated ball player in the league
and it was a great disappointment to
me that he was not chosen as the
utility infelder on the Western team
in the All-Star game.
Since the season opened Dorman
has had to play him at second base,
third base, short and the outfield
and he has done a fine job in all
positions. In addition to his high
average, he has scored So times and
has batted in "a runs, and in addi-
ton has figured in a number of the
Braves double plays
l get a lot of rubbing because l
am a firm believer in an old major
league superstitution, that when the
home team pitcher strikes out the
first man to face him in the top half
of the first inning, his team will lose
the game.
Although, of course, it does not
work all of the time, you would be
surprised how many times the old
superstition stands up and here are
some examples, within the past
month, in our own league:
At Salisbury, on June 10, Minton
struck out Bortz in the first inning
and Hagerstown won the game IS
to 2; at York, on July 5, Stratton
struck out Bortz and HagerstoWn
won the game to 2; and again at
Allentown, on July 7, Menier struck
out Bortz and Hagerstown won the
game to 5.
l thought l was pretty well ia
miliar with every modern baseball
rule, having scored ball games for
more years than care to remember,
but when I read Shirley Povich's
column in Sundays Washington
|, Post, found l still had something to
learn. Shirley's story concerned a
recent game in Brooklyn in which a
! pinch-hitter struck out, but the box
score showed him without an Of
fetal time at bat. Here are the
facts:
With count of two strikes and no
balls on the batter, the manager sent
in a pinch hitter who, after taking
one ball, went down swinging. It
was not until l went searching
through the rule book that l came
up with the answer in Rule 1914
Section B, on Strikeouts, which reads
as follows:
When a batter goes out of the
game with two strikes against him
and the substitute batter completes
a strikeout, score it as strikeout
for the first batter. If the substitute
batter completes the turn at bat in
any other manner, score the action
as having been that of the substitute
batter.
For the life of me 1 cannot re-
member such situation arising in
any game that l have been scoring
l can remember instances when a
batter was yanked by his manager
with a count of two strikes, but al
ways the pinch-hitter walked, got d
hit, or was thrown out or flied Out
but, as Shirley Povich said in his
article, Anything can happen in
Brooklyn"

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

The more than $500 people who
attended the ALL-STAR game on
Monday night (there was 1852 paid
admissions really saw a show. Both
managers gave everyone of the
selected players a chance to get
into the game and even inserted
themselves into the lineup.
'eWhitey" Kurowski, manager of
the Eastern Division, went in as a
pinch-hitter for one of his pitchers
and hit long fly ball to leftfield
that Fuller caught, and then Dutch"
Dorman. manager of the Western
Division team, went in as pinch
hitter for one of his pitchers in the
bottom half of the ninth. Dutch did
much better then Whitley, as he got
himself clean single to left and al
so scored a run that helped tie the
score at the end of the regulation
nine innings.
Having used every pitcher on his
squad. Dutch was forced in the
tenth to send Pete Perrin to the
mound and the Dutchman took over
the rightfield chores himself, and be-
lieve it or not, the first man up in
the top half of the tenth sent a hard
high one to right that Dutch gloved
with the greatest of ease. Then in
the bottom half of the tenth, when
he got a walk and moved to second
on Tommy Lind's single, he put on
another real show when he attempt
ed to 90 to third on a bad throw to
first. Dutch was out by about 10
feet for the third out, but slid into
the bag like little Lacquer.
P. S. bet Hazel used up all the
liniment in the medicine cabinet
when he got back to the hotel.
While there were a lot of spark
ling plays-Tommy Lind's fielding
of ball back of second and throw
ing his man out at first was one of
them-the outstanding player of the
night, in my opinion, was Joe Fuller.
the Harrisburg outfelder. In addi-
ton to some sensational catches in
both right and left field Che started
in right and later switched over to
left) he had five hits for his six
appearances at the plate including q
home run and three doubles.
P. S. In case you are interested
the final score was Eastern Division
10R. 17H. Be. Western Division, OR

The happiest kid in the ball park
or for that matter in all Washington
County, was "Ziggy" Brandenburg
the Braves bat boy, who "acted" as
first-base coach in the bottom hall
of the ninth.
When Tommy Lind rounded first
base in the seventh inning after hit
ting home run over the centerfelo
wall - it was his first home run al
the stadium - he went into an In.

cap to him.
