FIGHT
Gas BILL TAX

Peoples Counsel Ralph B. File
harty is planning to ask the Pc.
tomac Electric Power Company and
the Washington and Georgetown
Gaslight companies to extend their
periods of "grace" for payment of
bills from 10 to IS days.
At present consumers who pay
after 10 days are assessed 10 per
cent of the bill
The Today period, Mr.. Fleharty
believes, works a hardship on many
people, particularly those who are
paid semi-monthly.
The light company, for instance,
staggers its bills throughout the
month. In some cases the bills ar
rive on the 18th of the month and
must be paid by the 10Th. This
period is just in between pay days
for Government clerks and others.
Fleharty has just completed an
investigation of the entire system
Of penalties inflicted by the local
public utilities for nonpayment of
bills. He found that the 10 per
cent charge of delinquent payments
is the usual custom throughout the
country and so does not intend TO
make fight against that, but ne
does think the time should be ex-
tended before this penalty goes on.
If the companies will not will
ingly, agree to his suggestion the
Peoples Counsel may carry his
fight to the Public Utilities Com.
mission.
The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company is not affected
because it does not charge a pen
atty, but forces prompt payment
by cutting off service.
Mr.. Fleharty estimates that the
gas and light companies collect
thousands of dollars annually in
the 10 per cent penalties which
they assess late PAYERS.

GIVES COLLINS CREDIT
Johnny Mostil Regrets the Passing of Eddie as Manager of White SOx

Chicago, Feb. 5 - Johnny Mos til. star center fielder of the Chi cago White Sox, regrets the pass ing of Eddie Collins as manager. He says:
 What little success l have had as Q ball player can be traced back to the coming of Collins as my manager. He made me believe in myself just when my confidence was wavering most.
 Under the management of Ed die Collins at Chicago. feel that I have improved my play 50 per cent. When I came to the majors I hoped to be star and believed would.
 Then came several years of mediocre success, in which several managers didn't think as much of my ability as I did. They discour- aged me and I was wavering when Collins took charge of the Sox.
 "He must have known my faults, because under him I began to play the game l believed I was capable of. l only hope that I do as well for Ray Schalk, who succeeds him."
 When Eddie Collins took charge of the Chicago club in 1925, he told Mostil to run wild. He pro- ceeded to steal 4S bases six times as many as in the previous season.

ABE MITCHELL IS
 SEEKING REVENGE
Coming to America to Try to
 Beat Hagen on Links
By JIMMY POWERS

New York, Feb. 6--Abe Mitchell is coming over here to take in q few big meets and perhaps, 1t is whispered. gain revenge on a certain bronze-necked gent named Hagen who kept him waiting nervously on a tee over in England last spring while he smoked a pack of cigar cites and lost his edge, his lead and 1000 pounds.
 Silly-No, not hvoirdupois.
 Can Abe smash the tinx that has hovered over foreign invaders?
 Not since 1920 have any foreign CTS given us the works. George Duncan is here now but he has been kicked around something ter- rible in the California journeys. Archie Compston came over last year but no one turned in any third alarms.
 Ted Ray and Harry vardon were the lads who knocked the home- crowns for Q goal and go-cart. They came over in 1920, played in 68 matches. won 50. lost 13 and tied the rest. They travelled 10000 miles, played 26,000 holes and when they sailed home or Nov. took with them nearly $50,000 as their earn ings for the tour. Ray lugged away the U. s. open silver pitcher to boot.
 Mitchell feels this is his lucky year and is out to hang ono on Uncle Sammy's chin.
 Abe has a quiet, retiring shyness that is hard to penetrate.
 He shoots wicked game when he's on his form. He can get into a ball with a fine pivot and plenty of punch. He likes to study his lie carefully and is somewhat slower than his more impetuous country man, George Duncan.
 Mitchell Is not new to these shores. He came over in 1921 with Duncan and advance notices of their tour read Americans will now have a chance to see and study English golf. which has been supe- rior to ours"
 What contrast that picture makes with today. At that time, and remember that is only five year ago, galleries swarmed after the British aces eagerly cycling their swing, aping their form, buying their autographed clubs.
 Now home bred professionals have supplanted them and Abe's' fine personality much more than any dreaded skill, will attract the fans.
 He spent four years on the west is 39 years old, feet Il inches tall and weighs 1855 pounds. He led the British pros this year for the fourth successive time.
 He is to H'ingland what Hagen is to h'us.
 He uses big. heavy wooden clubs, above 15 ounces, clubs he whips at a terrific speed with hardly sign of & follow through. He led his brother pros this year not only in scoring but also in percentage of victories. In 1s rounds of tourna- ment golf he averaged 7s, a half stroke better than 1925.
 He is wonderful character, one Of the greatest match players the game has ever known and the abso- lute idol of the British fans.
 They all sing his praises. All? l Beg pardon, what the Americans are going to sing goes something like this: You may be the apple of eye but you're applesauce to us."
 They've been so beastly to those iol'..' old English golfing guests of late.

ANOTHER COBB MARK
Unknown Record for Batting Is Un- covered Belonging to Former Detroit Manager.
{BY NEA SERVICE)


 Chicago, Feb. 5.-Credit another batting record to the long list now in the name of Ty Cobb. For years this one. dealing with extra base hits, has slumbered unknown.
 Some ancient statistics just dug up, dealing with batting feats in the American league, reveal that just P times since the organization started doing business has any slugger made four extra base hits in nine inning game.
 Of these 22 extraordinary per. formances, three carry the name of Ty Cobb, one of them the out league, 16 total bases.
 On one occasion Cobb made four hits, including two doubles, a triple and a home run. for a total of Il bases. On another eventful after noon he corralled five hits made up one single, for 1 bases, equaling his first performance.
 He saved the biggest day at bat for late in his career. In a game at St. Louis during the 1925 season he made six hits, distributed as fol- lows: Two singles, one double and three home runs, for 16 bases, an American league record.
 In this game his two base hit just failed to clear the right field wall at St. Louis, otherwise he would have equalled the four home runs in a game mark.
 Just for comparison, to impress on you the magnitude of Cobb's per- in only one game has Babe Ruth made four extra base hits, that time getting two doubles and two home runs in five times at bat.

The brand of basketball evoked laughter at first from those used to seeing mems games, but when the teams steadied down the crowd ceased to poke fun and watched two games which were really inter- esting. All four quintets were rag ged in passing and shot nervously, but that was only to be expected in the first games and these defects will become less noticeable as time goes on.

move daily, Adlerika brings out much
