THE HOUSE

With determination to be known
as Watchdog of the treasury and to
hold down the expenditures OF the
public funds, Delegate Gordon, OF
Louisa. yesterday kept his eagle eyes
upon every item In the discussion of
the appropriation bill as taken up in
the House. He not only kept his eyes
upon the various items, but he entered
strenuous objections to many OF them.
He fought step by step, and was
10th to admit defeat until every means
of ascertainlng the will of the MEM
bers had been exhausted.
The Louisa Delegate did succeed in
having an appropriation OF $50
stricken from the budget designed for
use by the Corporation Commission in
carrying out the provisions of an act
imposing public duties on heat, light,
power water and telephone companies
and to provide for the control OF such
companies by the commission.
Chairman Brewer besought the
House to pay little heed to the re-
marks of Mr.. Gordon. and to adopt
the budget as proposed by the COM
mittee.
I'VE have carefully investigated and
considered every item In connection
with The appropriation measure" said
Mr.. Brewer, land we trust that the
House will take IT as presented"
Mr.. Gordon insisted on roll call
and his motion to strike out the s5.-
900 item was adopted by the vote Of
46 TO 81.
Reduce Extra Fund to Handle Work.
And this was not the only hole torn
in the committees report by Mr.. Cor

Of the automobile license division of
his office. q motion to reduce the sum
to $1,000 was agreed to by the vote OF
AZ to AZ.
Later Mr.. Gordon wanted to strike
out appropriations for the office of
Public Printer, one item being $500
for contingent expenses, the other
$3.50 for one stenographer. His ef-
forts were in vain in this direction. as
they were in the attempt to eliminate
the sum of $4,000 from the amount al
lowed the Department OF Agriculture
for advertising purposes.
The watchdog" loHt also In his eff
forts to cut out an appropriation OF
5000 for tho examination and test
ing of dairy cattle, and for the con-
trolling of tuberculosis.
MI. Brewer explained that a mis-
take mad been MADE oy the committee
in recommending the sum of s1,50C
help in the Office Of the AttorneyGen'
eral and asked that the sum be raised
to $2,700. This was done. and or

contingent fund in that Office was
raised from $3.50 to s1.2o0. This lat.

Mr. Reed, OF Portsmouth. gave
notice that he would have a few words
90 say when the portion OF the bill In
reference to appropriation for schools
were taken up. He did not think there
was sufficient money for the conduct
of the schools mentioned in the bill
He said he believed the school levy
should be increased as the demands
increased. That was clearly in the
minds OF the trainers Of the constitu-
ton. Mr.. Reed proposed that the
special order, consideration of tho APP
propriations bill, be passed by temper
arily so he might have something to
say about the school levy, ..
Mr.. Willis made strenuous objection
to such action, and the regular order,
which was the special order, was
taken up.
Brewer Is Optimistic.
Chairman r. l. Brewer, of the
House Committee on Appropriations,
in presenting the appropriations bill
yesterday in the House, spoke opu-
mistically. If the bill. as presented.
is passed, and the finance measures
are acted upon favorably. there will be
a surplus in the treasury when the
next Legislature meets, rather than
a deficit, as had been anticipated by
embryonic calamity howlers.
Mr.. Brewer yesterday presented in
connection with the appropriation bill
a summarized statement of the reve-
nue. and expenses OF the next two
years
He stated that II the revenue bills
to be presented by the Finance Com
mittee, now being discussed and pre-
pared, are adopted, there will be a

Ursinus Star Likely to Perform
on Mound in Second Game
Against White Sox )

The White sox won a ball game from
the Athletics in the first game of the series
yesterday, but they knew they we're through
game before 1t was over, as a lone run
was all that they could collect. but this
was enough, as the Mackmen failed to
count. Manager Rowland admitted that
his boys looked for no cinch while here. as
the Browns. Tigers and Indians all found
the going quite rough.
Either Jing Johnson or williams should
perform on the hill this afternoon, while
It looks as II Eddie Cicotte will heave the
elusive sphere for Rowland.
Base hits were not very numerous. and
In the face OF some fine pitching by Myers
and Benz none of the boys went away with
inflated batting marks for the day John
son twirled good game against the Tigers
over a week ago. and went well until he
blew up In the tenth. Mack expects TO give
him chance In the series with the White
sox, and this appears to be his day to
toll
The White SoN are now tied with the
Tigers for second place, and they are just
five games in the rear of the leading Red
Sox. Every game means much to the
aggregation, and they intend to
work hard for every game here; and the
Macks plan to make II difficult for them.

Moloney lost his first professional battle
to Knockout O'Donnell In the fourth round.
He was not knocked out, but was stagger-
ing around the ring helpless his knees
sagglng and with CLASSY stare in his
eyes. His arms hung Imply at his sides
and he was powerless to defend himself.

TO launch his crushing right against the
unprotected jaw of the youngster when
Teddy Moloney, his brother, used good
Judgment and stopped the bout The round
had gone but 1 minute and seconds
The loser put up good battle for three
rounds, but was unable to cope with the
experienced veteran. 1t was the old story of
an inexperienced youngster, full of con-
fdence, trying to outguess seasoned boxer
It can't be done. There is only one place
TO get experience, avl that is in tbs prize
ring. The gymnasium Is all right for a
time, but the hard knocks will come later in
the actual battles against real opponents.
Lacked Experience
Johnny Moloney lost last night not be-
cause he was poor boxer, but because
he lacked the ring craft to carry him
through the tough places He showed that
he is an exceptional boxer can hit with
either hand, but did not make the most of
his natural ability. Had he stood off and
boxed instead of mixing 1t at close quarters,
there might have been a different story to
tell; but he plaeed the other fellows game
and came to grief
This Is not the first time n youngster has
been conquered by experience Moloneys
defeat recalled to us the fate of Ed Casey.

fight at the National some years ago against
AL Kubiak. Casey was wonderful boxer.
as strong and husky as any heavyweight in
the world, yet he was battered helpless until
Jack McGuigan stopped the uneven battle.
Casey came back afterward and did some
good work, and Moloney should do the
same.
For two rounds Johnny performed like
q champion. He jabbed O'Donnell at will,
showed him up with his clever footwork and
had the huge crowd that packed the club
cheering frantically for their favorite.
Moloney was his foes superior at long
range. and he should nave stuck to that
line of attack However, his inexperience
caused him to mix it at close quarters and
that spelled the end.

All the speakers brought merriment by
