CATHOLIC LEAGUE STANDINGS

There is only the barest chance
that any team in the Catholic
League will catch the high-fiying
Gonzaga Eagles, but DeMatha is
giving it a big try.
The Hyattsville school, along
with several others in the league,
has never had it too good in
sports. With a small enrolment
as against schools like Gonzaga,
Carroll and st. Johns. the Stays
have generally foupdS themselves
on or near the bottom.
This year. in baseball at least,
DeMatha has proven a tonic in
a league dominated by the big
three" And the one responsible
10 a large degree for its success
is Highlander Bill Galleher.
DeMatha'S five league victories
all have been achieved by Gale
her. his latest a So victory yes
terday over defending champion
Carroll. The win reversed the
only league loss suffered by De-
Matha.
Elsewhere ip the league, Con-
zago had no trouble with Mackin,
winning, 1871. and Georgetown
Prep easily disposed of Priory,
11-2.
1--WE don't have much hitting"
Coach Pat Mccarthy of De
Matha said, "but as long as we
have Galleher going for us we
figure to stay in the game. Then
a break here or there will give
us a win"
The Stays got a "break" yes
terday when Southpaw Larry
Garland of Carroll, making his
first start, hit a streak of Wild
ness. Walks and a scratch hit
produced three runs. Outfielder
Tom Scanlon singled in one
more and DeMatha had the ball
game.

of the Highway Department.
1t was in the middle of the after
noon that Mr.. Smith called Mr..
Sharp.
Mr.. Sharp explained to Mr.. Smith
the following position taken by him
(Mr. Sharp and his Republican
colleagues:
1. Every act of the General AS
sembly is presumed to be legal un-
til decided otherwise by the courts.
2. The Republicans do not accept
the ripper bill as legal but in the
best interests of the state of Del

the Highway Department personnel
of their salaries on schedule and
to assure the smooth operation of
the department, despite the politi-
cal upheaval caused by the General
Assembly, the Republicans are will
ing to bow out, temporarily, and
with the understanding that the
case will go into litigation.
Credentials Requested.
With this as his premise, Mr..
Sharp then asked Mr.. Smith to pre-
sent to him proper credentials and
official statements that declare and
show the Democratic commission
had been authorized by the General
Assembly and that the new COM
mission has organized.
When these documents are pre-
sented, Mr.. Sharp will present
them to the Republican members
of the commission "in exile" at a
meeting in the State Police Admin
istration Building at State Road on
the Dupont Parkway Thursday
morning, June 16, at II o'clock.
Then Mr.. Sharp will ask for a

A short social period wound up the
