and finds himself surrounded
with legal and political tenta-
cles afoul of which certainly so
shrewd man os Jack Kearns
would never have allowed him
to come.
At last, therefore, Dempsey is
ready to fight; he claims he
hasn't been in such scrapping
trim for years; at least two
promoters are wild to put on
the next Dempsey championship
fight, but the third element, the
managerial perquisite, is found
lacking, and so it is apparently
impossible for the heavyweight
king to do business with either
promoter at anything like his
own terms or convenience, if
at all.
Having everything else in his
makeup to reach the pinnacle
of the pugilistic peak, Dempsey
lacked the perception to hold on
to the one thing which made him
thousands, if not millions of
dollars-good management.
He has thought that law
yer or personal representative
of some kind could pilot his ship
through the business straits of
Fistiana and that thereafter he
could take care of himself.
He would take the short cut
which is ever the longer, partic-
ularly when sailing uncharted
seas, and right now he can be

Fred Marberry started. He stop
ped after two frames. It was not
Fred's day to shine, the Tigers
kicking him IN the pants for five
runs ii the first inning and for
two more IA the second.
Bill Morrell swung his mighty
arm for i couple Of frames, the
Tigers adding q run to their total,
and then pinch hitter took VIII
lard away from there.
In from the bulIpen IN the
South came the veteran COve1es-
lxie. He took crack in the eye
IN the sixth and when Stewart Z
hit Tor him, he went into the
clubhouse TO get q fresh chew
Jimmy UcnrinsKo was the fourth
and final victim, toiling the last
three innings. He toiled. too. for
the Tigers took a liking 70 his side
arm delivery. They note him for
two runs In the eighth and three
more in the ninth. Jimmy didn't
seem to brighten the boys from
Michigan.
Al tale OF the first frame IS the
tale Of the game, which was devoid
OF much fancy baseball Blue led
off with q pass, scoring when Wingo
doubled to left. Heilmann singled
to center. to be forced BY Gehringer
for the second out. O'Rourke
singled to left and 8 did Tavener,
while Larry Woodall. celebrated
with two-bagger to the corner in
right field. Five runs were over
and the big Sunday crowd pro-
ceeded to sleep. asking only to be
called in case Ty Cobb ran wild.
Ty was quiet, probably because
Judge Lands sat in box near the
Washington bench, and so the fans
slept undisturbed.
! Wells was bit generous in the
second, passing couple Of birds
so that they counted on Bluege's
single and Ruels sacrifice fly. In
the fifth singles by Bucky Harris,
Rice and Joe Harris sent another
washington run over the pan and
the fourth and last was manufac-
tured by Stewards double and a
single by Bucky Harris But all
those four runs could not have off
set that first frame for the Tigers.
Tavener's triple and Wells
single scored a run off MOrreIl
in the third and Coveleskie forced
q run over when, after Wells
and Blue had hit safely, he passed
both WingO and Heilmann.
It was shameful the way those
Tigers clawed at Jimmy Uchrinsko
in the eighth and ninth. The
good heart was shown
by his two free tickets, but the
Tigers jammed out three hits to
make him look bad. In the ninth
Wells, a brother pitcher, too, |
singled, Blue walked, Manush singled
and Harry Heilman brutally dou-
oled. Three unnecessary runs were
over.
Two fielding plays a bit above
he ordinary were noted during the
afternoon. Blackie O'Rourke robbed
Zoe Harris of hit in the second

The York club, OF the New York.

claim for the services OF Jimmy
Uchrinsko. President Griffith took
the young pitcher TO the Willard
Hotel yesterday tor a conference
with Judge Landis. who happened
to be in the Capital. The York
club was not represented and so
Judge Lands made no decision,
waiting for information from the
York folks. xt
Uchrinsko said that he had been
rendered an offer from York. which
he declined. Then he got some.
thing looking better around his own
home town and he notified York
that he might sign with them next
year. A second offer came, from
York. Uchrinsko says he paid no
attention. to, that but later signed

Eldridge, Tells Members Motorists
Are Too Slow in Complying
With Regulation,

The Washington Automotive Trade
at it's regular meeting last night al
the City Club voted to assist the Dis
trict Traffic Bureau in it's efforts to
have the 100000 outstanding old driv-
ers' permits renewed Immediately.
Director NJ. O. Eldridge told the
meeting that earlier in the day a
prominent automobile dealer had voi
UNFAIRLY promised to call the atten-
ton Of all of his customers to the
need for renewing their drivers per-
m!ts. He asked all of those presen;
to cooperate with the bureau sim
ilarly.
1T is time the motorists Of Wash
ington walked up to the necessity OF
renewing their permits within the
prescribed time. They are being re
newed now at the rate of only abou
800 a day. If this lax attitude con
tinues, it will take year and a hal
to issue the renewals, while the law
gives them little more than six
months"
The dealers went on record as agree
ing to the proposal Of the traffic di
rector and pledged their assistance in
completing the task of reissuing per
mits. "A resolution was adopted ask
ing the Commissioners to mail out
automobile tags for 1927 if necessary

EXHIBITION OPENED.
Interior Decoration Display at Cor
coran Until December 13.

An exhibition of interior decoration.
prepared by the New York School of
Fine and Applied Art and circulated
by the American Federation of Arts,
is now on view at the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art, where 1t will remain until
Monday. December Is.
The exhibit consists of SO mounts,
each containing two or more drawings
in water color depicting a wide range
of types of rooms, for both the apart
ment dweller and the owner of a spa
cious mansion.
The drawings include not only orig
inal rooms, but also the students
adaptations of the ideas embodied in
them to present-day needs. Louis
XIV, XIV and XVI, Adam and Chip
pendale, Georgian and early Ameri.
can types are shown, as we'll as
drawings of holdings and other
architectural details in scale and full
size. The drawings are authentic,
as, it is explained, sthe students of
the New York School Of Fine and Ap-
piled Art are enabled to obtain first
hand knowledge of original types be
cause the school has a Paris branch.
The interiors represented are al
most invariably light, cheerful and
glowing with color, said to be "as
far removed from the black-walnut
and garnet plush rooms of genera
ton ago as day from night" While
the work Is announced as student
work" it is explained, however, that
this term Is only comparative, as the
exhibition represents the studies pur
sued in the three years course at the
school, during which authentic knowl
edge of the. historic types Of interior
decoration is accurately obtained.
"The subject of interior decoration, y
said a statement concerning the ex
hibition, 'is receiving more intelligent
thought today than it has received at
any time since the last of the great
period styles was formulated. The
value of a pleasant and beautiful en-.
vironment in stimulating a happy
mood has become self-evident. Such
an environment would undoubtedly be
produced by the execution of the ideas
embodied in the exhibition now at the
Corcoran Gallery"

TRIBUTE TO CANNON
IS PAID IN HOUSE
House Honors Memory OF
Former Member - Called
"Giant Among His Fellows"

The House paid notable memorial
tribute today to the former member
who served longer than any other man
in the American Congress, Uncle
Joe" Cannon.
It is customary for the House tt
adjourn out of respect for decease'
members, but never has this action
been taken with deeper feeling tha1
today following the adoption OF tne
resolution presented by Representa-
tive Martin B. Madden, chairman O
the appropriations committee ana
dean of the Illinois delegation. In
this resolution Mr.. Madden sum-
marized Mr.. Cannon's career as fol-
lows:
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon died In
Danville, ILL.,, November IL, 1926. For
46 years he had been a member Of
this House; for 10 years as chairman
of committee on appropriations; for
3 years it's Speaker, and for several
years chairman of the committee on
rules. His service terminated with
the Sixty-seventh Congress. Within
this chamber the scene Of his life's
greatest activities was laid. Here he
rendered services to his country which
placed him in the front rank of Am' r.
lean craftsmanship. Here he exhibited
characteristics which compelled re-
spect and won admiration. Forceful
ability, intrinsic worth, strength of
character, brought him popular fame
and Congressional leadership. In him
depth and breadth of intellect, with
a full and we'll rounded development,
had produced a giant who lowered
above his fellows and impressed them
with his power and his wisdom. A
distinguished statesman, lofty pa
triot, a unique orator, an unmatched
debator, a master Of logic and wit, the
great and representative citizen of the
American Republic has gone into
history"

GERMANY SEES END
Of ALLIED CONTROL
Possible Protests From Home
Believed Only Thing in Way
of Geneva Solution.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FfeSS.
GENEVA, Switzerland, December Z.
Solution of the problem Of amelio-
rating the military control to which
Germany objects has now reduced
tself to the question of how many
concessions the German and French
statesmen can make without arous-
ing such storms of protest as to i'm
peril the existence of their govern
ments.
Nobody wants to get his head
chopped off at home" remarked one
of the big five" statesmen today in
lluding to the difficulties confronting
hem.
While for Germany permanent mil
.tary control is a moral problem and
it's continuance a blow to the coun-
rvs pride. for France it remains a
question of security.
One idea discussed by the foreign
ministers in their conversations, which
re held outside the sessions of the
League of Nations council, is that the
suggested authorization for the league
% investigate German armaments
would also apply to the armaments of
other European nations once a
scheme of limitation of armaments
achieved.
DR.. Gustav Stresemann, German
oreign secretary, believes that Ger.
many's request for the abolition o.
nteralled military control is nearer
realization that ever before.
His optimism was the Outgrowth
of a conference yesterday of repre-
sentatives of Great Britain, France,
Germany, Belgium and Italy on the
subject When the conference ad-
journed, M. Vandervelde, the Belgian
foreign minister, went so far as to say,
IAN agreement will be reached"
The communique said: 1--WE are sat
isfed with the progress made, we will
have further meetings and hope that
an agreement Will be reached.

D. c. AFFAIRS GET
ACTION TOMORROW
House District Committee
Ready for First Meeting
of Session.

The House District committee Is te
hold it's first meeting of this session
of Congress tomorrow to consider tht
program of District legislation tha
will be pushed. Chairman Zihlmar
expects to receive a report from tn
Gibson subcommittee, which has beer
investigating the municipal admins
tration with reference to what RENE
dial measures it believes should bt
Immediately pressed for action.
Chairman Zihlman has not yet hat
an opportunity to confer with tn
House leadership as to when the Dis
trict will be given its first day in th'
House. He intends, however. to pres:
for the earliest possible action on his
bill providing for an impartial stud!
of the equities and obligations ir
volved in fiscal relations between the
Federal Government and District tax
payers in order that just fiscal policy
may be determined.
In this connection Mr.. Zihlman EN-
phasizes that the question of fisca
relations has been the one bone OF
contention that caused misunderstood
ing and possibly ill feeling between
Congress and the people of the Dis
trict. He believes that all the people
of the District want is a fair consider
otion of all the obligations and equi
ties and that when once, after i'm
partial study, permanent fiscal policy
has been established, more friendly
feeling and better mutual understand
ing between Congress and District
residents will result.
Mr.. Zihlman is anxious also to get
early action on two bills affecting Co
lumbia Hospital which are on the
House calendar. One of these is tc
authorize erection of new nurses
home and the other proposes a re
sund of some $25,000 enormously GOV
cred into the Federal Treasury in ar
