 With nothing at stake the game was not productive of much good baseball but provid ed plenty of fun for players and spectators. Metzer as umpire seemed to be some what dubious as to the location of the foul line and otherwise called down the wrath of both teams on his head but seemed to enjoy the game ill spite of all this.
 Jim Dennis did a comeback and it is rumored that the Gian ts are sending up a scout to look him over. Myler Jones also showed great form but not as ball player. Vannie Anderson tWirled for Mccarthy and Carls on for the Elks.

NEW YORK HARD HIT.
1O-Inch Snow, Drifted by Gale,
Seriously Cripples Traffic.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 3.-Winter's
heaviest snowstorm has descended
upon the Atlantic seaboard. Fore
casters predicted that It would end
today and would be followed by ris-
ing temperatures and cloudy weather.
In New York the snow had turned to
a drizzle by morning.
The storm. which started early yes
terday morning and continued un-
abated throughout the day, did not
spare any section of the Eastern
States. SS-mile gale piled 15-foot
waves on the beach at Atlantic City
and drove shipping dangerously close
to shore. Street traffic and wire serv-
ice in Baltimore were seriously Grip
pied, and similar reports were re-
ceived from points along the coast.
Snow in large, wet fakes began to
spread a white blanket upon New
York at $50 yesterday morning and
by night had piled up to q depth of
10 inches. A 35-mile -an-hour gale
drove the flakes in a binding swirl
into the faces Of pedestrians and i'm
peded traffic. In spite Of the efforts
of 700 motor plows, 500 trucks and
approximately 1900 shovelers, the
streets were badly clogged today.

TAX DECISION HITS
MUNICIPAL employees
Blair Ruling Requires Payment on
Income by Water and Light
Workers.

Under a new ruling of the Internal
Revenue Bureau many employees of
municipalities who heretofore have
regarded themselves as exempt from
the Federal income tax will be re-
quired to pay such a levy, not only
in the future, but to cover severa;
past years.
The ruling was announced by Rev
enue Commissioner Blair in a letter
to Senator Shortridge Republican.
California;, holding that the employees
of the water and electric light works
at Riverside, Calf, must pew the
Federal tax.
Mr.. Blair said that although mu-
nicipal employees heretofore had been
regarded as exempt under the fed
eral law, a examination of the
statutes revealed that certain classes
could not claim such exemption. The
tax must be paid, he said, by persons
employed by certain utilities like
street car companies. which compete
with private enterprise.

HITS SLOW METHOD
IN SNOW REMOVAL
M. and M. Secretary Calls
Attention of Officials to
Traffic Conditions.

Slowness Of snow removal methods
employed by the District government
and the resultant loss to business and
individuals by the crippling of trans
portation facilities on account OF
the decentralization or traffic arteries
were called to the attention OF Dis
trict officials today by C. J. Columbus,
secretary OF the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association.
Upon receiving the information
that the District authorities found
funds were short and that some Of
the appropriations should be with
held from the present tasks to care
for street cleaning work in the Sum-
mer and Fall, Mr.. Columbus pointed
out that the situation now existing
was in the nature of an emergency
and that less important items should
be allowed to go by the board and
that the present emergency should
be coped with to the fullest extent
and power of the resources available.
Cites Small Force Employed.
I'm passing from his home near
Seventeenth and r streets to his
warehouse at First and Canal streets
today" Mr.. Columbus told District
officials. "Mr. Andrews, president of
our association, saw exactly one
ing snow. I personally saw only
two men working in my trip from
Lamont street down Sixteenth street
and to Pennsylvania avenue, via Mas
sachusetts avenue.
The first duty of a civic govern
ment is the protection of the transpor-
rational facilities. Gripping trans
portation affects all vital activities in
a city's daily life. l can see no rea-
son why at least the crossings should
not have been made clear by this time
or why some drags or plows had not
been used to clear streets so as to
make possible the passage of vehicu-
lar traffic without the difficulties now
attendant upon travel.
Urges Use of Full Force.
"I hope that the force at the COM
mand of the District authorities will
be utilized to the fullest possible ex-
tent today and tomorrow, so that
Monday may start a new week with
clear lanes for traffic. / am sure that
private citizens. motorists, busine SIS
and professional men and all Wash
ingtonians generally will appreciate
such a service"

THOUSANDS SHOVEL SNOW.

BALTIMORE, Md, January 3.-Bal-
timore today was enveloped in the
task OF digging itself out of the heav-
lest fall of sleet and snow that the
city has known in nearly three years,
precipitation which measured II
inches.
AS a result of the storm street car
traffic was virtually paralyzed, and
with it most of the business activi-
ties dependent on the service. Thou
sands were unable to reach their
places OF employment. Department
stores and many other business houses
and Offices closed early in the after
noon, dismissing their employees.
officials of the United Railways last
night were unable to announce a sin
gle line open completely. All street
car service to the suburbs was dis
rupted.
Last night more than 1000 men
were at work with pick and shovel in
an effort to clear the tracks.
