NEW YORK, Dec. 81. - Local
opinion, rather freely expressed
today, was to the effect that
John McGraw had muffed one
right out in full view of the
populace when he traded Jack
Bentley and Wayland Dean to
the Phillies for Jimmy Ring, vet
eran right hand pitcher. Ring,
according to advices from Phila-
delphia, where he is well and
favorably known, has worn out
his arm pitching for losing ball
clubs since 1919, and is said to
be far from the man our Mr.. Nc
Graw evidently believes him TO be.
To be explicit the boys here seem
to think. that John was somewhat
outsmarted In the trade, giving ,lp

In addition to a youth who was lust
beginning to pay dividends on ali

The latter is Dean, who came up
from Louisville two years ago
Topped and then toward the latter
part of last season began to win
with some consistency. He has p
fine slow ball and is supposed to
nave more deliveries than any other
pitcher in the major leagues.

PETWORTH FAVORS
PLAN FOR COUNCIL
Citizens Association Votes
500 to Aid Fight to Sus-
tain Zoning Commission.

Real satisfaction and civic pride can
never be experienced by residents of
the Nations Capital until they are COM
pletely Americanized and armed with
the ballot. Jesse c. Suter, president OF
the Federation of Citizens Associations,
declared at a meeting of the Petworth
Citizens Association in the Masonic
Hall Georgia avenue and Upshur street,
last night. The trading power of the
vote is as essential TO Washingtonians,
he said. as it is to those in the States,
and citizens here should use every
means possible to inform more fortu-
nate Americans of their voteless plight,
halting in their efforts only when voting
representatives are permitted in both
houses of Congress and the electoral
college.
Mr.. Suter outlined the activities of
the federation, citing numerous Incl
dents in which :his organization has
been helpful to the Commissioners in
framing laws and aiding in the compila
tion of estimates. He urged the asso-
citation to aid in fighting the court pro-
CeedingS which have for their end the
abolition of the Ioning Commission. The
proposed citizens council was defended.
the speaker stating that it is the great
est opportunity the citizens have ever
had, being a step closer to the franchise
Il. j. r. McElroy, on behalf of the as
sociation, presented Mr.. Suter with an
engrossed and framed certificate of
honorary membership in the Petworth
association.
IndOrse Council Plan.
After considerable discussion of
the city council plan as proposed by
Commissioner Bell and framed by the
federation, the association approved
~ III TE.v, -.

affiliated with the federation, and ef-
forts were made to amend the plans
OF organization to provide for a two
thirds instead of three-fourths vote
to recall a member, and the council
be composed of a larger number than
stipulated, to be appointed from
among the number of committee
chairmen of the federation. All
amendments were rejected and the
original proposals, as outlined by Mr..
Suter and J. q. Yaden, were adopted.
The annual rose show Of the asso-
citation will be held the latter part
of May or the first of June. Funds
for conducting the show were appro-
priated and Gilbert !. Jackson was
appointed chairman of the committee
on arrangements. The Zoning Com
mission will be asked to uphold the
petition of residents on Sherman
circle to have this section changed
from B area to 3 restricted area
One hundred dollars was appropriate
ed to aid in the fight to prevent the
courts from issuing rulings destroy
ing the purposes of the Zoning Com
mission. Commissioners will be ask
ed to purchase several small lots ad-
jacent 10 Sherman Circle and add
them to the parking to prevent erec-
tion thereon of inappropriate build

If the Ship Won't
Hold,Change Ships!

The Municipal league should be just as
interested as is The Star in seeing that
the city manager plan goes into effect on
a foundation firm enough to withstand
attacks that may be made on it from any
source. That there will be such attacks
many of them-goes without question.
1t is essential that the plan be submit
ted in such manner that its legality will
be beyond question or controversy.
In The Stars opinion, the best method
of doing this is for the Municipal league
to get behind the move for an election of
freeholders, to propose a slate of candi-
dates it wishes to serve on the freehold
ers' commission, and put forth all of its
efforts to elect that slate at the free
holders election and to write the Mu-
nicipal leagues city manager plan into
the new city charter.
IF the ship we are on is unseaworthy,
legally, as Kennedy's opinion holds, or
in any other way, let's transfer the cargo
to another ship.
1t is this papers opinion, after careful
consideration, that this is the best method
of securing a sound, attack-pr city
manager government.
