brightness goes out of their
lives, for they're Ali at night.
Stronger on Road
It's on the road, however, that
the Senators have been most
formidable. In the home-run
department, for instance,
they're 1922 at home, but on
the road they're outswatting
their enemies by a 25-13 count.
The Red Sox, like the Sena-
tors. have been finding the re-
cent going gooey. While the
Senators have been losing nine
of IL, Boston has sagged badly,
losing seven of nine.
Cookie Lavagetto has a multi
tude Of problems, chief of which
is Roy Sievers' damaged
shoulder The slugging first
baseman couldn't swing in yes
terday's off-day batting prac-
tice, and it's likely he'll be idle
during the three games here.
Julio Becquer will take over.
Pitching woes are piling up
on Cookie, too. He was forced
to press five recognized starters
into service during a two-game
series with the Indians and will
be looking for more help from
his bullpen. He'll start Pedro
Ramos tomorrow and Bill
Fischer Sunday.
Pearson, Porter on Bench
Able Pearson, rookie of the
year last season with his .275
hitting, now is batting .205 and
will be benched tonight. Pear
son has, contributed only one
extra base hit, that a pop-fiy
double, and has batted in two
runs.
When Lavagetto denotes
anybody he's hurting. The
Pearson replacement will be
Faye Throneberry, batting .121.
Faye has been granted nu-
merous opportunities to deliver
and has failed repeatedly. This,
according to Cookie. will be his
last chance to step in and con-
tribute to the cause. If he fails
he probably will be unloaded.
Cookie also is disenchanted
with the catching of Jay Porter,
SO Ed FITZGERALD will go behind
the plate tonight. Lavagetto
didn't relish the idea of Porter
missing an easy tag at the plate
on Vic Power Wednesday night,
and he feels too many pitches
have been getting by Jay that
ought to be stopped. Porter
has collected seven hits in his
last II attempts. but Cookie
wants better defense.
Bob Allison hopes to snap a
recent slump that has seen him
collect one hit in 10 tries, while
Harmon Killebrew will be try
ing to close ground on Rudy
York's record of 10 home runs
in one month. The Killer has
socked IL this month, with 10
games to go.

DR.. B. F. Eckles, Henrico County
health director, said yesterday.
DR.. Eckles sent the specimen

The approximately $50 quarts

several hours. It is not known
exactly how many quarts were
sold.
DR.. Eckles said no cases Of

connection with the sales, but
that some persons might still

When Federal agents re-
moved a liquor license from the
wall Of the Crossroads Res
taurant in Bladensburg and
later sold the permit. q legal
night began, that may wind UP
as judicial history.
The question: Is a liquor IL
cense q property right or a
privilege2
Lawyers for Nathiel Smith,
operator Of the Crossroads,
maintain that q liquor license
is a privilege, and therefore
should not be seized to satisfy
overdue Federal taxes.
The State contends that the
license seizure was legal, and
both sides cited Maryland cases
to prove their respective points.
No License Proof
Whatever the outcome. the
nightclub has been without
visible proof Of its license since
the framed permit was con-
fiscated last summer on q $4,000
Federal tax lien. Later the IL
cense was sold for $500 to a
man who paid for it but never
has requested Prince Georges
County Liquor Board authori-
ties for transfer to his name.
The license still remains in the
name Of the Crossroads opera
tors, insofar as the liquor
board is concerned.
The Crossroads stayed open
several months under q gentle
mems agreement with the coun-
ty to leave the matter in abey-
ance until the license was set
tied. But on September 20. a
