by a thrown baseball yesterday
during an amateur game al
Centreville, Va, police re-
ported.
The victim, Preston Pitts, II
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Douglas
Pitts Of Fairfax Station was
dead on arrival at Manassas
Medical Center.
Police said the baseball
struck the boy on the left
temple as he was playing the
sidelines at the Centreville
school. He died of a fractured
skull, they reported.
The baseball had been thrown
from third to first base, and
the boy was hit as he dashed
into its path in the infield
police said.
The youth was not a team
member. He and some other
youngsters had been shagging
flies in the outf1eld during a
pre-game practice for a game
between Centreville and York
shire, members of the Tri-
County League.
The boy attended the seventh
grade at Fairview Elementary

An operation to remove the

Police Seek Clues in SHIPPER Sloying
Of Realty Man in Virginia Resort

| Investigators CROPPED for a
lead today in the still unex-
Iplained murder Of Richard L..
Lester, ST., popular real estate
salesman at the Lake Jackson
(Va.) resort area.
Why the 7O-year-old man
would be marked for death was
Ione of the problems facing
State and county officers as
they sought clues around the
lake cabin where Mr.. Lester
was shot, probably early Satur-
day morning.
Robbery was all but ruled out
las a motive since the victims
wallet was found intact with
I$45 in it.
While there was some indi-
cation earlier of an imminent
break, Prince william County
Sheriff T. d. Wheeling would
mot say today whether investi-
lgators suspected anyone. There
have been no arrests.
Never Harmed Anyone
Acquaintance of Mr.. Lester
said it was impossible to be-
lieve he had an enemy. AS
one deputy sheriff said: THE
better you knew him, the more
bizarre the case seems. He was
a very friendly man. I never
knew him to harm anyone"
AS police have reconstructed
the crime, Mr.. Lester was slain
by a prowler from outside his
window-apparently shot with
out a chance to defend him
self or to flee.
The shooting may have oc-
lcurred about 5 am. Saturday
while Mr.. Lester, clad in over
coat and hat, sat at his kitchen
table sipping coffee. Friends
lsaid he was customarily an
early riser, and usually had
several cups Of coffee to start

Hodge Lester. in st. Louis.
Only last Thursday he had
returned to his old cabin to
resume his work selling lake
sites. He had expressed a de-
sire to be back with his old
friends.
He apparently retired early
Friday night after having eaten
a ham sandwich and a glass
of milk about $50 pm. at the
Lake jackson Lodge, not far
from his cabin.
Mr.. Testers unconscious body
was found by Luther Alpaugh,
vice president of the develop
ment firm, when he forced open
the door leading from the real
estate Office to the kitchen.
Grill Still Operating
The kitchen light was on ano
two burners of an electric grill
were still operating.
4 Mr.. Lester had spent Wednes-
day night, his first since leav.
ing st. Louis, with another son

Rambler
Weighs Anchor
For Baltimore Port
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

AfNNA1L
On a visit to Washington in
1905, the Rambler's parents
took passage on a little river
steamer for Richmond. He
remembers their descriptions
OF the many landings, with
oxcartS loaded with melons
on the docks. He envies them
that trip.
So when he saw that the
Wilson Lines excursion
steamer, the SIS Mount YER
non, was going to make its
annual run to Baltimore on
Saturday, September IS, he
got himself a ticket. The boat
was to leave the Seventh
street wharf at 9 am. and
arrive IN Baltimore at III pm.
The rails of the boat we're
already black with people
when he arrived at $50. 1t
was a sellout. While the boat
can take more than 1000 on
a river trip, it is limited to
8l9 for a cruise on the bay
and some people had to be
turned away.
AS we swung into the river
from Washington Channel in
the sparkling sunshine (the
forecast had been some
cloudiness"), little cupboard
speedsters were practicing
for the Presidents Cup
Regatta races.

ing the building code by not
removing the door between

Counsel for the hotel had
contended that it was not a
storm door, and that the Dis
trict was arbitrary, dictatorial
and unconstitutional" in re-
questing its removal. The hotel
would have to pay up to $4,000
a year to install and remove
the $1,000 door, it was pointed
out.
The front of the building ex-
