D. c. FACES $4,000
! LOSS ON AUTO TAX
$4,000 Property Owners Fail
to Make Returns on
Personality.

The District Government faces loss
Of approximately $4,000 this year
through the failure. of automobile own
ers to file personal property tax re-
turn, it was estimated today at the
office of the tax assessor, William P.
Richards
Nearly $4,000 property owners, it was
said, did not make personal property
return for the current fiscal year. A
majority of them are car owners.
The tax assessor, it was pointed out.
has complete record of all motor
vehicle owners who did not make re-
turn, this information having been fur
nished by coupons attached to the APP
plication for license tags. Assessments
are now being made against such own
ers and bills will be mailed. A penalty
of 90 per cent of the assessed value
will be added for failure to make re-
turns.
Many of these bills are not expected
to be paid, however, as the District
loses large sum every year in per-
sonal tax revenue due from automo-
bile owners. Cars on which the tax
has not been paid are liable to seizure,
it was explained, but the tax collector
has an inadequate force of deputies to
round up all owners who fail to pay
the bills.
A bill requiring motor vehicle owners
to pay the personal tax on their cars
before license tags are issued is now
pending in Congress, having passed the
Senate at the late session. This legis-
lation has long been advocated by Tax
Assessor Richards to remedy the pres
ent situation. The Federal Bureau of
Efficiency also has Endorsed the meas
ure.

ON EDGE FOR GAME
New York Rangers Ready for Third Duel On Ice with Montreal Ma rooms in Montreal Tonight.

Montreal, Que, April 10 tP) - Heartened by their victory in the second clash of the Stanley cup til,s. the New York Rangers are on edge for the third duel of the ice series with the Montreal Maroons here tonight.
 The Rangers have been worked up to a fighting pitch with hopes of taking the lead in the strife which now stands knotted at one triumph apiece for each seXtet. Joe Miller. relief goal keeper of the National league, will replace the injured Lorne Chabot in the cage for the Rangers. Decision to use the Ottawa athlete in the Ranger net for the balance of the series was reached yesterday.
 Miller, q hockey, rugby and base ball star in his amateur days in Ot- | tawa. is regarded as smart goal keeper. He played the first half Of the National league campaign with the New York Amcricns and then was sent to Niagara Falls but when | the Boston Bruins claimed they had not waived on him. he was placed on the Boston list.
 | He was allowed 10 remain wit h Niagara Falls, however, on condi-
 ton that he would be available as
 q relief goalkeeper in the league if
 his services were required.

The first of series Of several h. dustrial Basketball League games which are to be played this week in staged at the Y. M. C. 4. gymnasium tonight. F. & F. Corbins will play Landers and Corbin Screw will con- test with Stanley Rule.
 There is still a chance that Cor bin Screw may be beaten for the l pennant. If it should lose tonight and r. X r. wins. the last named | team will be within a half-game of q tie. However. with opposition such as the Rule shop will offer. il is unlikely that the Corbin Screw team will take the gas. A victory for the Screw Shop will put every team out of the running except r. X. Corbins. At present Fafnirs and Stanley Works have an outside chance for 3 tie. If r. X F. Corbins wins 1t will be assured of at least a tie for second place and will therefore keep Up its three year record of finishing not worse than | m second position.
 This will be the second last game i for r. & r. Corbins, landers and Stanley Rule.
 Corbin Screw will send it's strong est lineup into the game. Luty will be at center; 1akuboWitZ and Miecz- kowski will take over the forward places: and Arbour and Darrow will be the guards. Rule Shop will start l with John kley at center; Bengston and CoraZZo forwards; Murphy, O'Dcll and Schaefer, guards.
 P. te F. Corbins will have Hoist, center; Luke and Jasper, forwards; i; Carlson and Paris, guards In the I.anders lineup will be kaminsky, center: Marseli and Bucheri, for wards; Litke and Preisser, guards.

 Joe Mccarthy visions close race with the Cubs very much in it. "Cuyler has helped us. The Pirates will be tough to beat, and so will the Cards and Giants" is his diagonsis.
 Ray Schalk of the Chicago White Sox, as a catcher always should looks at his pitchers. Our pitchers look to be much better than they were last year." he says. Jack Hendricks expects the Gin cinnati Reds to spring surprise We have better club than we are credited with" is his warning. Roger Peckinpaugh likes the mental attitude of the Cleveland Indians. We have hustlng satis- fled bunch of players. They will give the fans their moneys worth. he guarantees.
 Brooklyn will show its pitchers more consideration, Manager Vii. bert Robinson believes. we will make more runs this year and Ban croft will be q great help Robb! announces.

iBY BILLY ENANS)

Pitching in the majors runs in cycles One league holds the edge for a period only to have the van | tage suddenly shift 10 the other. For several years the belief has heen prevalent among the baseball 1 experts that the pitching was better in the National There are some who offered this reason as conclu- sive evidence of the greater batting power shown by q number of American league clubs. If the records of the 1927 season | can be accepted as a criterion Of the real ability of a number of re- | cruit pitchers, then the edge in pitching will shortly come back to the American for few years at | least.
 Winning 2o ball games these days l calls for mighty fine pitching. Talk | ing down 15 victories also demands q high class brand of hurling.
 If you will glance at the averages of the organization now presided over by F.. $. Barnard, successor to Fan Johnson, you will find that four young pitchers. all of them in their first year as regulars, won If or more games.
 The pitchers I have in mind are Wilcey Moore of the Yankees. with l9 wins, Willis Hudlin of Cleveland with IS. Horace Lisenbee of Wash ington with IT and Irving Hadley of Washington with 14. When three rookie pitchers can come through with 17 or more wins each, in theii debut year. it points to much i'm. proved pitching in the American league.
 To these four pitchers. who wor If or more games, three of them- Moore, Lisenbce and Hadley-if their first year and Hudlin witt only a few games under his belt a! the result of brief chance tho previous season. one might ado Owen Carroll Of Detroit, George ! Pipgras of New York and Tomm. Thomas of Chicago.
 True, Pipgras has been up witt New York before and Carroll an' Thomas saw service in 1926, ye there is no denying that last seasol was the first that any of the tri' was regarded in the light of regu lars.
 Thomas, away to a flying start fO Chicago by winning 10 out of hi first 12 games, finished up with i
 contests to his credit. George Pip , gras of New York won 10 and los
 three, while Carroll won the sam , number as Pipgras. but lost twic
 as many.
 A resume shows that these seve
 young pitchers. all Of them in prac
 tically their first year as regular won 107 games against 59 defeat for a percentage of .644. That is real hurling for vetera twirlers, yet when seven youn : sters come through with such performance, it is apparent ths ] the American league is in for som ] mighty improved pitching durin
 the next five years.
