on Port Authority Part of
Smiths Message

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Outerbridge
In reply to requests to comment on
that portion Of Governor Smiths
message which deals with the Po.t
authority, stated:
s.The governors message will be
widely read throughout the whole
kuntry and it appropriately stresses
10 things:
"1First, the generally recognized
BED for a scientific reorganization
id modern development of the ter
inaI facilities and systems of OPP
lefation throughout the port district,
and
Second, the statement for infor-
nation of business people and pro-
<lucers and consumers throughout
~n11ation that the Port Authority
Rvested with powers by both
states and the congress of the United
States, is in a position, with the CO.
operation of other federal agencies,
to promptly begin the e~ffectuation
Of the plan.
1T has only been because
here has never previously existed
i@quate powers in any single agen-
E4-f1rst, TO determine what is re-
ited, and then to cause it to be
cuted-that this port has here
IRE Jagged behind in its develop

This clear statement of the gov
errors ought to go far in satisfying
the country at large that the Port
Authority is now embarked upon the
execution Of a plan that will furnish
adequate and economical service ex-
ceeding that which a be hoped
for anywhere else and without tax
ing any part of the country.
ssIt was in Governor Smiths first
sterm that the former Bi-State Com

tween the two states for the creation

3 Is a player credited with a stolen

4. Can a player who has hit safely, and

B. II fielder throws the ball to the

of time to get to the runner. and the first
baseman fails to touch the bag, how IS the
play scored?
Answers
l. A wild pitch is a legally delivered
ball 50 high, low wide of the plate
that the catcher is unable to stop it, and
thereby permits a batsman to reach first
or runner to advance.
. The pitcher is credited with 4 strike
out, regardless of. whether or not the bats
man is retired.
g. He is not credited with q stolen base
unless a play is made him.
T. He can round first base wide as
he desires in order to make a good turn at
the bag.
5. The first baseman is charged with an
error.

Bob Gardner couldn't connect when
near a hole. He threw away chance
after chance and moreover he looked
as if he was going to throw them

a putter in his hand and invariably
the result was as he felt.

portion of his round against Arnold

But when Read failed to grasp his op-
portunities. Francis frightened up to
the true Ouimet game and romped
home. If he can stay on the course
he viii surely threaten the champion
ship this year, for he is the most ac-
compHshed and the most finished
golfer on the American team and a
great favOrite here. too.
As regards the British players. Hol-
derness scrambled through against
John Wilson who had all the best Of
the game and would have won had
he grasped his opportunities. Cyril
