Orioles Hit 'Cheapening'
Of Anthem by Repetition

BALTIMORE, May 20.-Art
Ehlers, general manager of the
Orioles, has decided against the
playing of the Star Spangled
Banner before every baseball
game because the repetition tends

Ehlers, a veteran of World War

was made despite the urging of
city council, because of his in
sistence on "a spirit Of reverence
and dignity"
Ehlers said the anthem is in
danger of becoming common
place" if it is played before every
baseball game or before other
sports events.
Crowds at stadiumS and other
sports arenas have a way of con-
tinuing to laugh and talk and

is being played" Ehlers said.
THAT applies to fights, wrestling

baseball games. To me it is very

himself won in 1943.
Wise Margin earned $43, 3,100 in
the race. the gross value of which

get away from Reuben for a

inspection gag as an excuse.
In the end, Queen Hopeful ran
in the race and won the biggest
portion of the $20,000-added
purse.

ward won the Prince Georges
Autumn Handicap and the Bryan
and O'Hara Memorial Handicap.
while Inseparable took the
Thomas K. Lynch Memorial. In
all three races. Reuben strenu-
ously objected to the weights.
Yesterdays rumor about HaSty
Road was born, innocently
enough, during a conversation
between Trotsek and a racing
writer about the Roman-Trafic
Court colt. The trainer merely
pointed out that if Reuben
wasn't satisfied with Hasty
Roads condition. or with any,
thing else about the race, the
colt could be scratched. He
didn't say he would be, so it
clearly seemed to be a misunder-
standing. Reuben thought it
worth the $500 entry fee to clear
up the matter instantly.
