50. CHURCH AGAIN
 DEFEATS BETHANY
Morty and Bell Run Wild and
 Take Scoring Lead
Inter-Church Standing

Wilton Mercy shot into the lead in the Inier-Church league scoring race and Clifford Bell also climbed past the former pacemaker as the South Congregational church team crush ed the Swedish Bethany quintet by 4b-4S at the BoyG' club last evening and assured itself of at least a tie in the chase for the title. The de- lending champions led from the first minute of play and were never in serious danger of being overhauled.
 Batting" Barta returned to the South church lineup and opened the game with a spectacular one hand shot following with another basket an instant later. Mercy hand ed Wally Anderson the ball for basket but immediately scored two himself. Then Bell unlimbered his artillery and began to pump scores, while Mercy. Vessels. Barta, and Parker all joined in the orgy. Elmer Johnson and Anderson played nice basketball for the Swedes during this half, each getting three baskets and Johnson also making three fouls. A Bethany rally just before the half closed brought the count to 24-15.
 Mercy opened the second half with basket, after which Anderson clicked off three points-the last which his team made. From that point on the game was A slaughter, the only interest being in the race of Mercy and Bell to overtake Billy Preisser and gain the individual scoring lead. Mercy passed the St. Matt forward early in this period and withdrew, while Bell forged ahead when there was less than two min- utes of play remaining. May con- tributed freak shot in the final stages of the game.
 The winners were going at near top form. and every player figured in the scoring. The Bell Mercy com- bination showed the way as usual, but Barta got four baskets and May and Parker split that many between them while holding their men score. less. Vessels set what may be a record when he committed two technical fouls on successive jumps. Johnson end Anderson divided even ly all the points made by the losers, the Bethany center being easily the outstanding player on his team. Carlson also played a hard game. The summary:

PROTEST RENEWED

Houses Demand Change in

The warfare directed by merchants
against parallel parking on Thirteenth
street took the form Of sharp pro-
test lodged with the District Commits
sioners today by the joint committee
OF the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association. the Thirteenth Street Busi-
ness Mems Association and business
places adjacent 10 that district.
Headed by Gen. Anton Stephan, pres
idcnt of the Merchants and Manufac-
petitioned the Commissioners to restore
angle parking ui Thirteenth street be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and street,
While the Commissioners gave no indi-
cation of what they intended TO do.
Traffic Director Harland. who was pres
ent al the meeting. assured the mer-
Gnants that he would make another
survey OF the parking situation.
Offer Concession.
In order to restore angle parking. the
committee made at least one important
concession. They stated 1t would be
agreeable TO them to eliminate all park
ing on Thirteenth street between Z and
period for one hour.
Statistics of the number of cars
parked in that area compiled by MIR
Eldridge were disputed by the business
men. M. d. Rosenberg. who acted as
chief spokesman for them, declared an
actual count showed that it was pos
sible for 1876 cars TO park at an angle
between E and f streets. difference
OF z3 vehicles in the count made by
the Traffic Bureau.
Actua, count. the business men de-
clared, proved that a total Of 1880
vehicles could park all day at angles
on Thirteenth street between E and

Space Marks Urged.
To make angle parking easier and
conform to the regulations. they urged
that spaces be marked for each car
Parallel parking not only has injured
business along Thirteenth street they
contend. but also has worked an in
Justice on the business houses that paid
assessments for the widening OF Thir-

standing the work was being done to
accommodate more cars.
Traffic Director Harland also agreed
to inquire more diligently into the mat

erablc parking space at the corners on
Thirteenth street. and which, 1t is
claimed, take up more parking space
than they actually need.
