LASTRES STOPS VX-1 FLIERS
8 TO 2 IN BASEBALL OPENER
Despite Defeat,
Nary Team Will
Be Strong Outfit

The Island City baseball
league opened its 1852 season
last night at Wicker's Stadium
as the VX-1 Naval Air Station
lliers fell victims TO the stellar
pitching of 10 year old George
Lastres, ace rookie of the Island
ers who were victorious by the
tune of 8 to 2.
Mastering the first three in
nings with the GOODNESS and
calmness of a veteran pitcher, the
lanky youth retired in order the
first nine men to face him, while
his teammates froze the game in
their first and third innings, Rob-
ert Lastres flied to left, Alvio
Acevedo went out short to first,
John Anderson lined double to
left center and scored when
John Cruz's smash to right was
good for a single.
In the third, Clayton Sterling's
Islanders put over 2 more mark
ers Robert Lastres outran a hot
roller to short for a hit, Acevedo
dropped a looper to short left
and Lastres had crossed the plate
before Hoelzel could recover the
ball in time to make a play at
home. John Cruz's sizzling
grounder bounced off Steffen's
glove at third and Acevedo raced
for the platter with the second
run of the inning. Pitcher Stein
hour frightened up and whitfield
three fast throws to Don Cruz
who struck out TO end the in
ming.
The fliers' best innings were
the fourth and sixth when they
scored one run In each. Malone
beat out slow grounder be-
tween home and third, after
Steffen had looped out to sec
ond, then scored all the way
from first on Wallace's short sin
gle to right center, Wallace was
trapped between second and
third on Hoelzers slow grounder
to the pitcher as Bienemn struck
out.
In the sixth frame. Malone
scored after slamming a sliding
two bagger to left, followed by
Wallace's standing triple to deep
left center field, Kick and Stef-
fen went out in order. HoelzefS
weak grounder to the pitcher
ended the inning.
In the fifth inning, the Island
ers netted five extra runs for
good measure on four hits in
cluding doubles by John and Don
Cruz, single by Acevedo and
Gabriel Lastres and two free
passes. The fliers were unable TO
make any more scores under the
masterful pitching of "Blondy"
Lastres.
On the field. shortstop man
Billy Kick played a good game
although he had one error chalk
ed UP against him in 8 tries. r.
Malone and Paul Wallace were
responsible for four of the six
hits earned by the VX-l while
Malone scored the only 2 runs
for the fliers.
Right fielder John Cruz was
the big gunner for the Islanders
connecting safely three times of
four tries. Robert Lastres and Al
VIC Acevedo each got 2 hits
apiece with Acevedo handling
nine chances with one miscue at
shortStop,
Ii was a good exhibition all
the way through during which
time, fine sportsmanship was
displayed by both clubs. A nice
breeze kept the fans comfortable
and the performers in good play
ing mood.

ANNAPOLIS, May The
Court of Appeals has denied dip
lomatic immunity to an employe

His name did not appear on the
State Departments white list, P"

grant him immunity. the court
said yesterday.
Its ruling is binding" Judge

The decision upheld a one-year
sentence in the House of Cor
rection for Carl R. Haley, con-
victed in Howard County of COM
mitting a perverted sex act with
a woman in a State forest last
summer.
Haley. an American citizen, was
employed as a domestic servant
and boat captain by Col. Herbert
De Schinkel. air attache to the
Swedish Embassy. AS such. his at
torney a!Tued, Haley had diplo-
matte immunity.
In papers submitted with an un-
successful motion for a new trial
in Howard County Circuit Court,
Col. De Schinkel had asked that
Haley be given rights and privi-
leges enjoyed by personal servants
to foreign diplomats.
The State Department later ad-
vised the Court Of Appeals that the
Swedish Embassy had not certified
Haley as an employe.
Embassies must forward the
names Of employees, which are
then published on the depart

the age of 80.
Funeral services for the mining
engineer and pioneer promoter of
aviation will be held in Cleveland
tomorrow. Death came in a Cleve-
land rest home. where he had
been i'll for two years.
Gen. Crowell's public service was
clouded for three years by what
President Herbert Hoover later
termed IAN inadvertent but grave
injustice"
In December, 1922. q special
grand jury established by Con-
gress to investigate war frauds,
indicted Gen. Crowell and six of
his aides on the Emergency Con-
Struction Committee of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense.
Charges Formulated.
Charges formulated in the JUS
tice Department. headed by Harry
M. Daugherty, alleged that the
seven men had instituted the "cost,
plus 10 per cent, system" and had
enriched firms in which they were
interested by excluding others
from rich wartime contracts.
Not until three years later were
the charges dropped at the behest
Of Harlan F. Stone, Mr.. Daugh-
erty's successor. on grounds that
evidence did not support the ALE
cations.
In 1881. President Hoover,
given an opportunity to express
my own feelings" named the once
accused man a brigadier general
in the Ordnance Reserve Corps.
President Wilson named Gen.
Crowell as assistant Secretary of
War to head the munitions pro-
gram in 1917 because Of his ex-
perience in the iron ore and con-
struction business in Cleveland.
After the war he headed the in
dustrial demobilization program
and made two trips to Europe.
supervising the disposal of $400
million in surplus materiels to the
French government.
Headed Aviation Commission.
His early interest in aviation
was utilized when he headed a
commission which studied aviation
development in Europe. Gen.
Crowell recommended appoint
ment Of an aviation secretary with
cabinet rank.
At the height Of the. New Deal
era. Gen. Crowell held a series of
governmental posts-regional di-
rector of the National Recovery
Administration, Ohio director of
the National Emergency Council
and regional director of the Fed
eral Housing Administration and
Social Security Board.
He also headed the Ohio Re-
peal Council, which spearheaded
the fight against prohibition. and
later set up the State liquor con-
troll system.
In 1910. War Secretary Henry
l.. Stimson called Gen. Crowell
back to Washington for a pre-
liminary survey of the defense
program. He remained on the
job throughout the war.
While in Washington, Gen.
Crowell was a member Of the
Chevy Chase, Army and Navy and
Clubs. He was mar
ried in 1904 to Julia Cobb of
Cleveland. to whom were born two
children.
