American League games in six

But while the locals look forward
to another victory in their second

harbor no thoughts of acting as a
stepping stone upon which Wash

Beckman's boys are all primed TO
kick over the dope bucket, a feat
that would be just a repetition of
what they have been doing ever
since the second-half season started.

the Washington tossers meet

Tomorrow nights argument with
the Celtics will be, no doubt,
Washington's toughest assignment

they are performing as brilliantly
now as ever.
Next Sunday night at the Ar

bring his men back home to play
the Quakers in their last meeting

feel that, despite their present
standing in the league, they are
not inferior and that they can
prove to everybody's satisfaction
that Washington's triumph last
month was all a mistake.

considered quite phenomenal. But
Won Dreele, in regular competition
in Baltimore, rolled 72S.
The only outstanding washington
record that the Baltimorean hasn't
topped is the 20S game rolled by AL
Works in an independent match.
In his 1873 string, Won Dreele made
nine marks, including a double
header strike.
In his REGARD three-game set
his scores were $50, $50 and l47.
His SCORES in the five.game set
were 1876, l19, IA, 1856 and l43.
A remarkable feature of Won
Dreele's opening game In this
performance was streak of five
nine-cOunt spares I'm which No. 5
pin alone remained standing in
each instance.
The five.game record was achieved
in the Baltimore Inter-Alley Doubles

remarkable 728 set to give the pair
two-man record of 1880. Won

And that night in Philadelphia he
proved to me until the proof IL

IN the. very first round Of that

sent it crashing full and fair upon
the point of his chin. / think 1t

thirty of my foemen along the

my blows was written upon his

He said anything that could be
done must be done with the approval
of the legislative representatives OF
the people and that if the delegates
thought the commission was going
along right, he hoped they would go
back home and tell their national rep
resentatives in Congress how to vote.
Cooperation Is Asked.
Commissioner Bell told how effec-
lively the municipal authorities had
been working with the Federal Plan
ming Commission here, and advised
that, if the people back home had
planning commissions, they should see
that they were tied up with the mu-
nicipal authorities and that they work
together, if the best results are to be
obtained. BY getting the two togeth'
er, he said, practicable plans could be
worked out.

triangle. and presented architects

posed government buildings. lie paid
high tribute to Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, saying that he had
q keen esthetic sense, not usually
found among business men of today.
Mr.. Delano pointed out that those
seeking to improve the National Cap
ital needed the stimulus and the adj
vice of the city planners. He spoke
of the attempts to get building
heights raised, and said he thought
it was n mistake to erect buildings
any higher here and believed that in
the Capital City the height of build
ings should be kept down, perhaps in
the neighborhood of 85 feet, which is
the average in European countries.
Speaks of Recreation.
Mr.. Olmsted told of the develop
ment OF neighborhood recreation
centers. He said they should be
about 20 acres in area and within
walking distance of the neighborhood
which they were intended to serve
Any smaller area, he said, would be
too expensive, because the overhead
would be too large, and any larger
would be wasteful. These recreation
centers, providing all kinds of sports
for all ages, would be of great aid
he said, in building up the moral
stamina Of the people, particularly
the youth, and he cited instances
from other cities which bore out this
Mr.. Medary pointed out that there
was no place in the country where
esthetic values could be better illus
trated than in this city. Those who
came from the south, he said, first
saw the railroad yards. then the
dumps with their smoke and sud.
denly they came into the Capital. On
the other hand, he said, those coming
from the west, through the beautiful
Virginia hills, We're gradually usher
cd into the city amid beautiful sur.
roundings. He spoke of the great
need Of doing some planning around
Great Falls, so that people coming
from the west would be brought by
this section, pointing out that few
people now even know how to get
there.

To illustrate how a board OF ap-

the following possibility;
..Take a residential section which
has two isolated stores in the very
center of the area. The Zoning COM
mission would be acting properly III
zoning the entire section RESIDENTIAL

and the owner says to the commls-
sion, What am l going to do with

Mr.. Bassett said such cases could
be solved by board Of appeals CON-
posed of broad-minded men, with au-
thority to pass on variances from the
hard and fast coming maps in in
stances where injustice otherwise
might be done.
For more than an hour the city

changed views with each other on
.knotty zoning problems that are con-
