BY the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 18.-Kid
Chocolate, fashy little Cuban negro
who has been cutting a wide swath
through the ranks of the lesser BAN
tamweights, has overcome the biggest
obstacle encountered so far along his
route to the top, Emil Paluso OF Salt
Lake City.
The Kid gave Paluso a terrific lacing
through eight rounds of their bout last
night, winning on a technical knock
out when the referee decided Paluso
no longer could defend himself and
stopped the slaughter.
Paluso showed only one flash OF gooo
form in the fourth when he got IN close
and slowed the Cuban up temporarily
with few hard body smasheS.

Belanger was awarded the decision
and the boxing commission announced

So unexpected was Lewis action that

n though it finished no better
n than fourth place in the race.
< "A That was the Washington cluo
in the 1928 American League
campaign. So stalwart was the defense
of the Nationals that they topped all
other clubs of the circuit in the official
fielding percentages of President Bar
nards circuit announced today.
The Nationals finished the season
with a fielding record Of .972 amassed
in l55 engagements This gave them
point advantage over the Red Sox, who
were no slouches afield themselves. Ma
tionals and Red Sox each were charged
with 1T8 errors, the leagues low marx,
but the former had the greater number
Of chances. Washington's total OF $3.50
cnances was exceeded only by the Cleve-
land total of 6,400, but the Indians
made 22I errors, the most made by any
club in the circuit. and finished seventh
in the fielding ratings
Again the Nationals proved fine
double -play-naking club, performing
l46 of these fielding feats. That tied
the Browns total, and was beaten only
by the White Sox with 149 and the In
dams with 1877, a new American League
record. The Indians. by the way. did
all the triple-play making for the league
during the season, negotiating two.
Judge Errs But Seldom.
One of the reasons for the high aver
ages of the Nationals and the Red Sox
was the accurate performing of the first
basemen for each club. Phil Todt, Red
Sox first-sacker, was the leader of them
all with . season record Of 997, but
Joe Judge was only point below him.
Todt made but five errors in 144 games,
in which ne had ,486 putouts and "a
assists. Judge was charged with only
six errors in 149 games, in which he
had l 1,4l2 putoutS and 80 assists. At one
stage Todt went without an error for
81 consecutive games.
Among the regular outhelderS, Sammy
West of the Nationals stood out with an
average of 1896. He made but one error
in 116 games. Jack Hayes, with .074,
among the Second-sackers, who were led
and Bucky Harris, with 970, we're high
by Max Bishop of the Athletics with
.978 Ossie Bluege finished third among
the regular third-sackers with rating
of $50. Willie Kanm of the White Sox
led this group with 977. During the
campaign he went through IA consecu-
tive games without an error. Buddy
Myer of the Red Sox. now National
again, was strong, with .969, and fin-
ished second.
Joe Sewell of the Indians again led
the shortstops with mark of 1868, but
the Washington youngsters, Hayes and
Joe Cronin, were right at his heels.
They were in many less games, how
ever. Larry Woodall Of Detroit was the
finest fielding catcher, with percentage
Of .992 for 81 games Muddy Ruel of
the Nationals, though. went into I01
games for a record of 9s9. He made
but five errors. Sam Jones was Wash
ington's best fielding pitcher. The sad

SAYS TAX APPEAL BOARD
 IS BEHIND IN DECISIONS
Treasury Will Adopt New Policy in Order To Clear Up
 Congestion

Washington. April s R-Declar- Ing the board of tax appeals ts three years behind in its decisions. the treasury, has notified congress that It plans . new policy in the settle ment Of tax cases in order to relieve tho congestion.
 Under the new plan more cases would be turned over to the office of tho treasury general counsel for settlement rather than sent to the board. There are now pending be- fore the board :1.o00 cases with more coming In each day. Tho difficulty has been that each tax case has been regarded as a law suit" Under-Secretary Mills said to- day. These cases should be sub- rnitted to arbitration by competent tax officials in the bureau of inter- nal revenue. In many cases arbi- trat!on would yield the government moro revenue as the government has won only q per cent Of the cases appealed to the board Of tax appeals.
 "rhe difficulty has been in hnd- tng tax officials who had courage enough to settle a case In view of former charges by congressional committees that the cases were set tied through bribery and crooked ness. The treasury now plans by q careful process 10 instill into tax of- hcia,s confidence in settling cases In the hope that only complex cases involving new points Of law will be referred to the board of tax ap- peals,"
