Denton
Harrington High Annexes Third
Straight

/
For the third time in the last three
games, Harrington High easily
triumphed over Bridgeville High
here Thursday afternoon.
The weather was rather chilly and
those who occupied the grandstand
got a good airing. The locals start
ed in in the very first inning and
scored five runs. Ryan was on the
mound at the start of the game and
worked in his usual good form, al
lowing neither hit and caused many
of the visitors to fan. He was never
in danger though walking quite a
few. A sweeping wind across the
diamond made pitching rather hard
to control. Laws took up the pitch
ing burden in the last two innings.
He started by walking Ewell, who
later scored when Graef singled to
right field. This proved to be the
only run of the game for the visitors.
Anderson, who started to do the
receiving for the visitors was injured
in the first inning when Captain
Short slid into the home plate. He
was carried from the field but was
soon revived and took up the pitch
ing burden for the balance of the
game.
Locates and Shobe were easily the
stars of the game, both fielded their
positions without an error. Locates
getting his usual hit, a screaming
double, while Shobe scored the last
two runs of the game with long
triple. Only. three runs have been
scored off Of the local twirlers, Lau-
rel, Seaford and Bridgeville each
one.

baseball team. Due to several mem
bers of the squad being on the High
School roster, it is not planned to

with a team representing Denton,
Md, but which was composed of
players from several towns on the
Eastern Shore and the guardian of

terry, Ryan and Short, performed in
rare style, in addition Captain Short
secured two hits, one a long triple.
IN the 5th inning Hummell, the speed

REDUCTION Of BUS
FARE IS EXPECTED
w. R. T. Believed Ready to
Lower Rate on Tokens
Voluntarily.

The Washington Rapid Transit Co,
under It's new owners, the North
American Co, of New York, is TX
pected to submit to a voluntary re-
duction in fare on its bus lines at
public hearing of the Public Utilities
Commission Wednesday, it was in
dictated today at the District Building.
The hearing has been called on the
petition Of William Nick. Clayton,
chairman of the public utilities com
mittee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, who pointed out that
the bus company is earning more
than a reasonable return. After study
ing the company's accounts, the utili-
ties experts We're inclined to agree
with Mr.. Clayton, as figures were
produced showing that a fair return
could be made on n lower fare.
On the basis of the Company'S earn
ings during the current calendar year.
the commissions experts calculated
that the fare could be reduced from
five tokens for A. cents To 3 tokens
for % cents without cutting too deeply
into its profits. 1t is reliably reported
that the company Will agree to this
rate of fare. AS the commissions eX-
perts had not touched the cash fare
of 10 cents in their calculations, the
company undoubtedly will recommend
that this rate be continued and il
probably will meet with the commits.
sion's approval.
Leon Arnold, former president of the
bus company, who has been a central
tgure at previous hearings on mat
ters affecting the Washington Rapid
Transit lines, will he supplanted at
Wednesdays hearing by Eugene
Thompson, who has succeeded him.

Storm OF Protests
Expected to Meet
Horse Traffic Ban

Barred from such fashionable
thoroughfares as Sixteenth street
and Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire avenues, owners of hansoms,
broughams, baroucheS and other
old badges of fashion plan to storm
the Traffic Bureau with protests
against the new regulation pro-
hibiting horse-drawn vehicles from
using certain streets. according to
word which reached the ear today
of NJ o. Eldridge, director of traffic.
Mr.. Eldridge took the news COM
placently, however.
Let the protests come" he said,
''and l will act upon them"
Maj. Edwin B. HesSe, superin-
tendent of police, also took cogni-
zance of the reported impending
storm, and said that the regula-
ton is on the statute books and
would be reasonably enforced"
The police chief also said that
the new pedestrian control regula-
ton, which has passed its period
of grace, would be reasonably en-
forced" Police will not be in
structed to make arrests for viola
tons unless pedestrians show a
general disregard of the regula-
ton. Those who absent mindedly
walk past a stop signal will be
given Il warning.

some stray and possibly exhausted car

Movies Supplant
Bull Fighting in

MEXICO CITY. December Is
American movies have scored an
other international victory. Bull
fighting, long the favorite show
here. has slumped into second place
by comparison with the screen.
Mexicans now spend four times
more money on movies than on
matadors. and a film not made in
the United States is something of
curiosity.
Calculations from government
figures show that bull rings in and
near Mexico City took in ,C43 .434
pesos during 1925, while movie
theaters for the same time and ter
ritory had receipts of 1853, 1856. Au-
thorities think this ratio is repre-
sentative OF the country generally.

The chief benefits Of the proposed

What opposition there may be to each

Power for President
The President also declared that
there should be a deviation now from
the policy under which the Federal
Government has permitted itself TO
remain so powerless that its only at

cation. To this end he recommended
that authority be lodged with the
President and the Department OF
Commerce and the Department of
Labor to deal with an emergency.
Mr.. Treadway has already admonish-
ed his colleagues in the House that II
this had been done two years ago the
present anthracite coal strike could
have been prevented.
The President argues that he and
the Secretaries of Commerce and
Labor should be allowed to appoint
temporary boards which would have
authority to summon witnesses and
documents, conciliate differences, en-.
courage arbitration and if a shortage
develops they could exercise control
over the distribution of coal to where
