Next Week in Series

Lots Of exciting action is promised
for next week in the sandlot cham
pionship series. Two games in par
ticular are looked forward to with
keen interest. In the unlimited class
the Mohawks will battle the Sham
focks and in the senior division the
Roamers and Waverlys will clash.
These are among the feature con-
tests of the series. Any time the
Shamrocks and Mohawks meet,
whether in the series or out Of it,
the fans of southeast Washington
flock to he game.
The same holds true Of the Roam
ers and Waverlys. who fought to a
bitter end for the championship of
the senior class last year, with
Waverly winning by scant
margin.
Both Of these games originally
were scheduled for Tuesday, but the
Roamer-Waverly contest was shifted
to Wednesday in order to permit
the playing of both at Union Park.

Yale Hurler Royalty
Feted by Home
Admirers

TORRINGTON, VT, July T.
"Bus" Pond, husky youth who
raised Yale's varsity baseball
team unexpectedly to dizzy
heights by pitching his team to
two victories over the great
Princeton team and as many
over Harvard's team in eleven
days, is not without honor in
his own home town. For two
days, starting July a, Pond was
guest of honor at a general
celebration here where the name
of a great Yale athlete is a
thing to be conjured with, local
citizens hailing him with great
acclaim. Graduates of the eX-
elusive Hotchkiss School at Lake
vile, where Ponu was football
and baseball captain, thronged
to a banquet on July 5, while
on the Fourth schoolmates here
and citizens in general feted
him and made him presents.

MOHAWKS AND LEGION
IN UNION PARK OPENER

The Mohawks, independent cham
pions, and the Legionnaires will
open the new Union Park tomorrow
afternoon with a ball game, getting
under way at o'clock, and from
all reports the fans should see a
battle royal.
Both clubs have won their only
starts in the title series, the Legion
naires downing the Roberts Club
to 0, while the Hawks walloped
Boiling Field in easy fashion.
F'inney Kelly will hurl for the
Hawks, with Hudson and Wine
gardner in reserve. while Schneider
will be behind the bat, and the
Bullets will have either Hal Ludwig
Ed Kelly or Buck Clatterbuck on
the mound with Burthe or McClay
catching.
The Washington times., 1923-07-07

Smith rowed four years at Har--
ward, and for two seasons was the
university's champion sculler. The
meat Of his criticism seems to be
that during the Spring season the
belief has grown that the graduate
rowing committee is causing d.
vided responsibility and that poor
results are bound to follow. Criti-
cism of the coach has been lacking.
Harvard men know that more fell
lows are rowing at Cambridge and
that more money is being spent
than at any other university. They
believe any single head will bring
better results"
The letter has three suggestions:
I. That all graduates be re-
quested not to visit the boat
house while the varsity is ct
practice.
2. That all graduates be re-
quested not to board the coaching
launches while the varsity squad
is at practice.
8. That all graduates be re-
quesfed not to visit training
quarters at Red Top, Conn.,, dur
ing the training season.
1.-THE well-deserved victories Of
Yale at New London have caused
Harvard criticism to crystalline,
the letter begins THE very
existence of the graduate rowing
committee raises q broad question.
How much should alumni interfere
with strictly undergraduate activi-
ties? If you have such a com
mittee in rowing, why not have a
committe for the college publica-
tons Crimson, Advocate Lampoon, }
another for the musical clubs. an.
other for public speaking and so
on to the absurd? Or why have
any alumni committees at all?
Why not let the students alone?
1t would seem as If they had
ample guidance from the president
fellows, corporation, professors and
instructors. In short. leave a lit
tie leeway for initiative and self
development at the risk of a few
mistakes Perhaps the mistakes
would bring no greater chaos in
rowing.
Now few critics Of present con-
ditions feel like abolishing the grRdu.
ate rowing committee. AS long as
the captain of the crew has entire
authority, the committee may be Of
assistance. Meetings might be
called by the captain that would

rect.
PERSONALLY I should like to see

the early summer and then make

MADDEN PLANS
REDUCTION OF
INCOME TAX
Congressman Lays Before
Coolidge Suggestion for Auto
matte Surplus Prevention.

A plan for automatic reduction of
income taxes in the calendar year
following any fiscal year in which
a surplus over expenditures was
shown, was laid before President
Coolidge today by Martin B. Mad.
den, Congressman from Illinois, and
chairman of the House Appropria-
tons Committee.
Madden's scheme is the result Of
his long study as an expert in tax
matters, and he believes it not only
workable. but just: He probably
will introduce a bill at the forth
corning session of Congress includ-
ing provisions to put in effect the
measures of relief he advocates.
Should such an enactment be Sc
cured, it would act as a practically
exact balance between receipts and
expenditures. But the taxpayer
could not in any case benefit before
1925. At present, there exists a sur
plus of more than $300,0 100000, as
recently revealed by Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon. This could not be
given back" to the people. How
ever, under the Madden plan, sta
tistics of probable income tax yields,
collected over several years, could
be so applied to expenditures au-
thorized for the fiscal year 1925 that
no further surplus would accrue in
1925. In other words. taxpayers
would not be contributing more than
tho Government needed.
Madden had previously made
known to Coolidge that he favored
such a plan, and today simply went
into further details in the matter.
He announced that he will hold a
night conference on the tax situa-
ton in general with the Chief
Executive later in the week.
In the alternative case OF a
deficit, special legislation would be
required which would raise the in
come taxes for the next calendar
year to a figure sufficient to take
up the difference between apprC-
priations and expenditures. accord
ing to Madden's preliminary plans.
The chairman of the Appropria.
lions Committee already has eX.
pressed himself as favoring Il re-
duction in surtaxes to a maximum
figure of % per cent on a gradu-
ated scale, which. with the s per
cent levied on incomes in the
higher brackets, would make a
total possible tax of SO per cent.

PEDD[EDE|QUOR
FROMRENTED
AUTO
Man Made Escape But Dry
Agents Discover New
Trick in Trade.

A travelling bootlegger escaped last
night about $40 o'clock, at Four
teenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, when two prohibit
ton enforcement agents closed in on
him after watching him make five
sales of pint bottles of liquor.
Standing on the corner, the two
agents, J. P. Dowrick and w. A.
Heddens, watched the vendor do a
thriving business. Their natural
curiosity was somewhat sharpened
by the fact that they were cloaked
with the authority to make liquor ar
rests and they edged over nearer the
automobile from which the liquor
was being sold.
The agents started to make
known their identity when the mo-
torist showed them a pair of heels,
He travelled much faster than his
two wOuld-be captors and made
good his escape, leaving behind him
the automobile. Seventeen pirts Of
liquor were found in the machine,
the agents say.
Investigation Of the tags on the
car showed that it belonged to the
Saunders System, which has a ga
rage at 1905 d street northwest
j. II. Daddysman, proprietor Of the
garage. said that he rented part of
mis- building to the system.
The Saunders System, it was ex.
planned, is one of the car-renting
| companies in the District. man
came to them last night and rented
the car, leaving a name and adj.
dress that is supposed to be ficti.
| tious. The agents have unearthed
what they believe to be the name
and address of The man who rented
| the car, and his arrest is expected.
Prohlbltlon agents believe they
have put their finger on one of The
popular GASES Of the District. The
detection of the selling from a
| rented car is the first that has
| come to their attention, and they
believe they have inadvertently un-
| covered a prolific source of bootIes
| liquor.
