Budd Andrews and Tom Apthorp,
and these gentlemen have decided
to call a meeting for all boys who
are interested and eligible to play
in the league.
The meeting will be held at Shaw
High School on Monday evening,
December 18th in Room 107 at
1880 p. m. 1t is very important
that every boy who plans to parti-
cipate will attend the meeting dur
ing which league plans will be dis
cussed and all questions answered
by Mr.. Thomson and his committee.
Unless at least 60 boys signify
their intention to participate by
appearing at the meeting, plans
for the league formation will be
abandoned.
AS most East Clevelanders
know, organized baseball league
for local diamond enthusiasts, was
inaugurated in 1862 when the Eats
Cleveland Little League was estab-
lished. The League received such
enthusiastic support that the pro-
gram was expanded to include
Pony League last summer to in
clude boys in the 1914 age group.
This League also proved to be
very popular, so much so that it
will be enlarged from a four-team
to a six-team League in 1866. The
boys were provided with complete
excellent equipment,
good playing fields and capable
with almost 400 boys

1t concerns the possibility of
forming a Colt League for East
Cleveland boys 1917 years of age

In a recent meeting of the
league officials, the formation of
a Colt League was proposed, but
it was felt that no definite decision
could be reached until the posi-

Heart Ills Continue
As Top D. {. Killer

Heart diseases continued as
the Number One. Killer" in
Washington during the fiscal
year 1854. which ended last June
80. the Public Health Depart
ment reported yesterday.
Number Two Killer, the an
nual report said, was cancer.
Nevertheless, a drop was noted
from the previous year-2,885
deaths as compared to 1904 for
heart diseases, although this was
80 per cent Of all deaths reported
here.
Cancer caused Is per cent of
the Capitals deaths, although it,
too, caused fewer deaths-1, ,131
as compared to 1,175 in the pre-
vious year.
The report said the general
death rate dropped slightly to
8.8 per 1000 of population-"the
lowest ever recorded in Washing
ton"
The tuberculosis rate contin-
ued high. the report said
"201.2 per 100000 population,
which is more than double the
rate Of the Nation as a whole
and greater than that Of any
other State except Arizona"

Fund Shortage Called
Civil Defense Obstacle

In another annual report, the
Office of Civil Defense summed
up its years work, complaining:
"The inability Of this Office
with the limited stan available
to perform the administrative
work required to contact. enroll.
assign, maintain records, organ
ize training and maintain the
interest Of active volunteers
combined with the lack of in
terest Of the majority of the
public, has rendered satisfactory
progress impossible in imple-
menting the civil defense pro-
gram"
At another point, it declared
that "basic plans have been
prepared for all civil defence
services. Implementation of
these plans will add materially
to the administrative workload
of this Office and the Civil De-
fense Operating Services estab-
lished under the Reorganization
Plan. This workload, which can
not be absorbed, combined with
lack of equipment and facilities,
constitutes a major obstacle to
the establishment of an effective
civil defense organization"

The average daily population
in the Districts jail; two reform

a record 4.057 during the fiscal
year 1854, which ended last June
80. That figure is 657 over the

Corrections, headed by Donald
Clemmer.
Declaring "this was the high
est number ever held in District
correctional institutions for a
12-month period" the report
warned that it exceeds the safe
capacity of the four institutions
by 657."
Nevertheless, 1t said, "discip-
line and decorum Of the inmate
bodies has been outstanding. "
The report said there had been
two escapes from the depart
ment's reservation in Virginia,
but that both fugitives were
recaptured within 24-hour re-
