A&K-SnugHarbOr Tie
Disrupts Schedule Of
City SandIot Series

The City Series for the Sandlot
baseball championship Of the
District, which this year has the
largest number of entries in it's
history, is beginning to feel a
pinch in its schedule.
The Washington Amateur
Baseball Association, governing
body of the tournament, had
hopes of finding a champion by
September II. Everything went
smoothly in the first round last
week. Then yesterday, in the
opener of the second round,
Atchison & Keller and Snug
Harbor played to a 3-3 tie that
was called at 7:30 pm. because
of darkness.
The game will be replayed to-
day on the West Ellipse, but it
forces the scheduled game on
that diamond to be put off until
tomorrow and tomorrow's game
to be postponed until Friday,
when the third round was slated
to begin.
Any more tie games, coupled
with a spell of bad weather,
could result in the series drag
ging on to the last of the month,
with the days getting shorter all
the time.
AtchiSon and Keller held a
81 lead going into the bottom
of the ninth inning yesterday
when Snug Harbor came up with
two runs on a walk, a single and
two ground balls to the infield.
the last of which was flubbed
and resulted in the tying run.
Left-hander Dutch Schaefer,
who relieved Ken McMullen in
the ninth. appeared. headed for
victory after AK got a fourth
run in the top of the 10th. After
one out in the bottom of the
inning, however, Umpires H. S.
Lee and Charlie Wagner called
the game and the score reverted
to the previous frame.
Yesterdays tie and the shift
ing of all South Ellipse games
to the North diamond change
the schedule for the rest of the
week to read like this: Today,
AK VS.. Snug Harbor on the
West EllipSe and Union Print

North EllipSe: tomorrow. Spring.
field VS.. Northeast Athletics on

A horse and a fire often Is a
strange and tragic combination,
Marty Meyer will tell you, and
Meyer should know.
Meyer, superintendent of the
Bowie race track, has seen a
lot of horses and a number of
fires since he showed up looking
for a job when Bowie first
opened in 1914.
There were no norses quar-
tered in the barn that burned
down at Bowie last week, and
for that Meyer is grateful. Since
he. took over as the superintend-
ent in 1921, he has seen five fires
destroy 81 horses.
Nov, there's no such thing
as 'meSmerization of flames as
some people think" Meyer says.
"The fire doesn't hypnotiZe the
horse. When a horse goes into
a burning building, it's for just
one reason: That's his home.
Accident Has Same Effect.
"A horse gets panicky. Then
he wants to go to his stall, his
home. He feels protected there
even if it's on fire. And it
doesn't have to be a fire. He
can be in an accident and he'll
want to go to his little home
I saw a horse get hit by a car
one day. He wasn't hurt bad
just scared. He limped back
to his stall and snuggled in a
corner He thought he was hid
den there. nice and safe"
And it takes a good man with
a fast hold to keep a panicked
horse from returning to his
burning stall. Back in 1910 one
of them got away from Meyer
II got him around the cor
ner," Meyer says. II thought he
was safe then. But he reared
up suddenly, snatched away
from me and went right back
into the flames"

Head Home When Scared
Horse Is Never Hypnotized
BY Fire, Bowie Chief Says

destroyed five barns. a kitchen
and blacksmith shop. 1t was
started when groom threw coal
oil on a cook stove.
Disaster in Twenties.
The most disastrous barn fire
in Meyers memory took place
on a winter afternoon in the
1920s. Twenty-one horses per-
iShed in the fire which had
burned itself out Is minutes
after it was started by a char
coal pot outside the barn.
"And after that we had one
that cost us II horses and al
most killed the man that started
it." Meyer says. "The man, a
groom. had been drinking and
fell asleep smoking a cigarette.
He got burned badly, but pulled
out of it,"
A raincoat and an electric
heater combined to set off the
last tragic fire at Bowie seven
years ago. 1t was raining and
groom took off his raincoat
and draped it over the heater.
1T was a Saturday night be-
fore the meet opened" Meyer
recalls, land almost everybody
had gone out. The groom went
over to the next barn. A few
minutes later he looked up and
saw his barn burning down.
There were II horses killed.
"Ill never forget that night.
I was home. 1t was about $3.50
and decided to step outside
for something. Then I noticed
the light from the fire. I got in
the car and came on over. The
whole barn was on fire when I
got here. We managed to get a
couple of horses out, but they
bolted and fell down a bank to
the roadway and got killed"
Started as COncesSiOnaire.
It was the love of horses that
first lured Meyer to Bowie. The
son of a farmer, farming was
not for him. He started out as
a concesSionaire at the age of
16 and later took a fling at the
feed business.
"You know what a horse eats?"
he asks. Eight to IL quarts of
oats a day and you need 20
pounds of straw a day for bed
ding. It came to about 80 cents
a day in those days and lots of
my customers would complain
about the high price. Now it's
about SO day"
Born in Tennessee in 1898,
Meyer has lived near Bowie since
he was 2 years old. He has two
sons one a 24-year-old para
trooper in Korea and the other
a 25-year-old farmer.
'My wife always wanted me
to farm" he says, "and when
the two boys were around 8 or
10. she encouraged them to start.
They did, too. And they always
made money at it. Of course,
when they were young, she slipped
the money in on them when
they weren't looking. She still
believes farming is the good life"
But it always has been horses
for Meyer.
"If we could only smarten 'em
up enough to keep away from
fire." he says. You knew, you
could start a fire down in the
woods and you couldn't get a
horse close to it. But in MS own
little home-that'S different"

Hitting a good iron shot is
more difficult than hitting a good
wood shot. The ball must be
contacted properly with the
blade of the club and the blow
struck with a sharpness that is
never experienced with a wood
club.
If there is any great difference
between an iron shot and a wood
shot it is that an iron shot is
definitely a sharp hit while a
wood shot is swung and the ball
swept off either the tee or the
turf. Since the iron swing is
shorter than that used in playing
a wood shot, because the length
of the shaft of an iron club is

Eventually the decision prob
ably will rest with the superin-
tendent of schools or the school
board.
The American Association for
Health, Physical Education and
Recreation, a branch of the
National Education Association,
is against inter-school competi-
ton in athletics as carried out
by the Arlington Junior high
program.
This association has not been
shy in pleading it's case. It al
ready has passed out to all mem
bers of the Arlington advisory
committee a booklet entitled
Desirable Athletic Competition
for Children" and a pamphlet
called "The Case Against Inter-
scholastic Athletics in the Junior
High School"
Wrong" on Five Counts.
The literature states that
junior high school interscholas-.
tic athletics are "physiologically,
physchologically, sociologically,
economically and educationally
wrong" In other words, the as
sociation doesn't see much that's
good about the program.
It has come up with statistics
obtained from 220 doctors to
plead the case. These physicians
don't think much of interschool
athletics either. according to the
booklet. Out of the 900, only 80
would go for softball between
schools-the largest number that
approved any sport. AS could be
