Ban Importation
Of Deer Into Ohio

The Ohio Wildlife Council has
banned the importation of live
deer, bear, coyote, fox and wolf
into the state, from April l, 1858,
to March 81, 1854.
The move, which was taken at
the recent Council meeting after
a thorough investigation and e
public hearing, is to prevent the
introduction of disease and the
distribution of unwanted species.
Established ZOOS or parks are
exempted from the order as arc
persons, companies and partner
ships who can establish satisfac-
tory evidence that they have made
previous provisions or arrange
ments for the delivery of animals
to an established zoo or park.
The order reads that any per.
son having imported these ami
mails, or have caused the importa-
ton or have such animals in their
possession will be found in viola
ton OF the law and that each ans
NAL unlawfully possessed or I'M
ported shall constitute a separate
offense.
The order becomes effective
April 1, 1853.

Banquet and Graduation Exercises
of the Hagerstown Pony League
were held Thurday night, in the din
ing room of the American Legion
Home.
In addition to the members of the
six teams in the League, their man
ayers and coaches, there was fine
representation of the youngsters
parents at the gala event.
After the guests were seated, the
POSTMASTER, j. Edward Davy, who
is the chairman of the executive
committee of the League, introduced
the Rev. Robert S. Passerelli, of st.
Mary's Catholic Church, who gave
the Invocation. A delicious ham
dinner, with all the trimmings, was
then served, after which the pro-
gram got under way.
The big feature of the night, of
course, was the presentation Of the
championship trophy to the Yankees,
who took the top honors for the
second straight year. The beautiful
Herald Mail Company trophy was
presented to r. T.. Miller, who spon-
sors the team, and Mel Jennings,
the manager, by Frank Colley, sports
editor of the Morning Herald, who
is also president of the Pony League.
Mr.. Davy then introduced the
guests at the head table, all Of whom
made brief complimentary remarks
about the League.
Then followed the presentation of
trophies to every member of the six
teams.
In gatherings of this sort, it has
been customary to make special
awards to various youngsters, for
such things as high averages, most
popular player, etc, but the govern
ing body of the Pony League intro
duced a new procedure, whereby
every boy on the team received a
trophy, on which was engraved,
'Valuable Player" This is a very
fine plan, since it carries out the real
idea of these leagues for youngsters,
and that is, that every boy on the
team is valuable to the team and to
1.-THE league as a whole.
Seated at the head table, in addi-
dition to Father Passerelli, Mr.. Col
ley and Mr.. Davey, were: Rev.
Homer Kendall, iceIpresident of

manager of the Morris Frock Post
American Legion team; Dick Kelly,
sports editor of the Daily Mail; Joe

Another outstanding feature of
the evening was the presentation by

the Ladies Auxiliary of the League,
of a check for $71717 to the Execu-
tive Committee, representing the
profits from the concession stand at
the League park, which is operated
by the Ladies Auxiliary.
A letter was read from Mayor
Burhans, expressing the regret of
himself and the members of the
Council at their being unable to be
present, due to the regular meeting
of the Mayor and Council, being held
that night. A letter was also read
from Paul Snyder, chairman of the
Park Board, who was unable to be
present, due to a previous engage
ment.
The six teams in the league are:
The Yankees, the Oddfellows, the
Toruga Pirates, The Pony Express
the L. & B. Hatters, and The Eyerly
Jets.
Frank Colley brought the pro-
gram to a close with a number of
humorous sports stories, told as only
Frank can tell them.
