year and you will see = a ghost com
prised of large steel Orders, high
cement walls, rusting seats, signs
falling down or needing repair and
painting. These and many others
were the places wherein yesterdays
stars were born but today they are
white elephants Now you ask, why
has something like this happened.
Because, greedy and selfish men
wanted it all. Just like big fish in
the ocean eat up all the little fish
and then die of starvation, so the
men controlling the baseball clubs of
today have everything there is to
have, both the Major and Minor
Leagues, and baseball is going to
starve and die unless something is
done about it.
The President of the Interstate
League has called a special meeting
to be held in Lancaster, Pa. on Jan
uary 18th, 1858, at 100 p. m. and 1
shall present this, with a resolution
that this information be brought be-
fore the Commissioner of Baseball
and the National Association of Pro-
fessional Baseball Leagues, G. M.
Trautman, President, for action.

Don't All Hit The
Road At Once!
Vice-President OF B. F. Good
rich Co. Gives Motorists Some
Good Advice.

If every car and truck owner in
the state of Maryland tried to go for
ride on the same Sunday afternoon,
there would be vehicle every 9
yards on every paved street and
highway in the state.
Fortunately, the odds are against
this happening, since the average
motorist spends only about Is days"
a year in his car, according to James
j. Newman, vice-president of the
B. F. Goodrich company.
He points out that estimates of
American automobile usage and
driver habits show that the average
motorist drove 5000 miles last year.
At his average pace of 80 miles an
hour, this totals 800 hours, or rs
daylight driving days. This is only
6.8 per cent of the daylight hours in
a year, he says.
Newman says that Maryland's mo-
tor vehicle registration today is at
its highest mark in history and will
probably reach an estimated 777,000
early this year. Hard-surfaced road
mileage in both rural and urban
areas of the state is 1880, which is
also new high, he says.
He reports that drivers throughout
the nation feel traffic jams are re-
sponsible for the loss of millions of
dollars in wasted time alone. New
man says B. F. Goodrich estimates
national increase of 100000 car
and truck registrations to bring the
nations total to 65,500,000 motor
vehicles by 1860 This, he points
out, seems to leave little chance for
an early let-up in today's traffic con-
gestion.
Newman, former chairman of the
Inter-I Industry Highway Safety Com
mittee, says he believes that the
nations traffic problem could be
solved if authorities start to work
now on an expanded national high
way program, improved parking and
unloading facilities, and revisions of
outmoded traffic systems and regu-
lations.

Cowden was the top scorer for
Hagerstown, with IL points, and
Kiracofe came right behind her with
10. Rowe scored 2 goals and 2 foul
shots for 6 points and Shoemaker
was the other scorer with l foul shot.
The two boys teams of Hagers-
town High-the Varsity and the Jay
vees-had better luck, however, as
both teams took the measure of their
arch rivals of Frederick High School
on Friday night. The Maroon and
Gray won their game 81 to AZ, and
the Jayvees go to 48.
The Maroon and Gray got off to
a four-point lead in the first period,
which ended Is to II, and were new
err headed. The score at half time
was 26 to Is and it was 46 to 26 at
the end of the third period
Hughes with Is points, Kuhn with
IS and Meier with II, led the scor-
ing for the Maroon and Gray, while
Angleberger was the top scorer for
Frederick with 10 points.
In the Jayvees game it was much
the same story Hagerstown took
a two-point lead in the first period
and gradually increased it as the
game went on.
Both centers were the high scorers
of the game. For Hagerstown, Jen-

The Gaels came back strong in the
fourth and final period and just

The Mayor Of Hagerstown y
Has A Record OF Achievement

II Hagerstown is about to lose the services
\ Of its capable and colorful mayor, Mr..
Richard H. Sweeney. Mayor Sweeney has
announced that he will not be candidate
4 to succeed himself in the January primary
election-an announcement which will be
greeted with sorrow, but with understanding,
/ by his many admirers.
J When Mayor Sweeney took over the reins
of Office almost ten years ago, Hagerstown
j had tax rate of IS cents and bonded debt
. of about S5,0000OO. 1t had just closed its
! fiscal year with a small deficit 1t had, in
addition, a construction program the carry
} ing out of which would have brought a
material increase in either the bonded debt
J or the tax rate.
The new mayor took over swiftly and with
( determination. The first thing he did was TO
make his own office full-time one previous
mayors had considered the job part-time
affair in view of the $4,000 salary
Mr.. Sweeney then proceeded to sidetrack
a long list of Improvements and to cut
budget requests He also went to work on
the municipality owned electric company and
on the municipality owned water system-two
big jobs. The former had never made much
money and the latter had not been
self-supporting.
The tax rate is now down to so cents.
The bonded debt stands at about $4,00O000
The electric company is a big money-maker
/ And the water system is more than self
supporting In the meantime, Hagerstown
has forged ahead as a business center. 1t
was boom town during the war and the
I end of the war brought no curtailmeut
in activities
Mr. Sweeney has given no specific reason
| for his decision to step down. 1t may be that
J he believes ten years is enough for any man
to serve as mayor. Something could be said
/ for such belief. But that does not alter
1 the fact that Hagerstown is to lose mayor
who has proved himself to be an exceptional
administrator. However, Hagerstown is losing
Mr. Sweeney only as mayor, not as citizen
That means much.

BY the Assoeiated Press

RICHMOND, Jan. 20. - State
Senator Ted Dalton of Radford,
Virginia's Republican national
committeeman, yesterday said he
doesn't think State Republicans

the recent appointment of two
Richmonders. on which they
were not consulted-T. Coleman
Andrews as commissioner of the
Department of Internal Revenue
and Howard H. Gordon, head of
the Production and Marketing
Administration of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The Radfcrd Senator told the
Richmond News Leader that the
manner of the appointments
doesn't indicate a split in the
State and national camps.
Senator Dalton said he has
discussed patronage problems
with c. Wesley Roberts, the new
G. o. P. national chairman, and
with Arthur Summerf1eld, re-
firing chairman.
