TAX|CAB MEASURE
IS REPORTED OUT
Financial Responsibility Bill
Given to House With Com
mittee Approval.

The House District committee today
favorably reported the bill requiring
taxicab drivers to prove their financial
responsibility and granting the Public
Utilities Commission authority to fix
maximum rates.
Harleigh H. Hartman of the Public
Utilities Commission, who, with Gen.
Mason M. Patrick, chairman of the
commission, was present on invitation
OF Acting Chairman Mcleod, told the
committee the situation is so acute il
the District that the commission was
DESTROYS Of having this legislation passed
and also asked that the commission be
given authority to prescribe routes for
interstate buses entering the District
and require them to establish terminals
instead of occupying the streets with
their stops to take on and let on pas
SengerS.
The committee felt that legislation
to control routes and bus stops for
interstate buses should be dealt with
in separate measure.
The committee also acted favorably
on the request of Representative Deni-
son of Illinois that favorable report
should be made on the Senate bill to
change the name of Iowa Circle to
Logan Circle in order to expedite con-
current action by the two houses. The
Senate has passed this measure and an
identical bill has been reported from
the House District committee.

arms almost in every play Of the
game, whether it is calling strike
or ball or whether it's on the
bases, Shelly uses his voice to a
great extent in sorting out the
plays. In this he has to be ac-
curate as we'll as eagled-eyed, but
he has trained himself to these
necessities throughout his long
career. The good arm that he
has he uses to tote around his
mask and protector when he has
to move behind the pitcher when
umpiring game alone, with men
on the bases.
Shelly might have but one arm,
but he is becoming recognized as
one of the best in McClure's as

agrees there must be some fact
in it.

'CLURE SAYS
SHELLY IS
GOOD

We've had our one.armed plate
collectors, our one armed ball
players, and our one-armed organ
grinders but very seldom have
we had our one-armed umpires.
Yet such is the case in Paul
w. Shelly, one-armed ball and
strike expert of the District Um-
pires Association. And Shelly is
a better than average umpire, too,
to make it unanimous.
He came to this city from BaltiI
more on letter to C. L. Mcclure,
president of the local association,
recommending him as an umpire
of the first water. Mcclure
signed him right away despite
his seeming handicap of carry
ing around only one arm.
Shelly worked five years in
Baltimore before making Wash
ington his home, umpiring week
day league games such as are
played here. Prior to that time

SADSAM LIKES
.; TO BEAT HIS
OLDMATES
BY BOB THAYER

NEW YORK, May 28.-You
can never tell in baseball.
Consider the case of sad Sam
Jones. Several years ago the
morose mound magician was
tagged all through and shipped
to the st. Louis Browns by the
late Miller Higgins.
Sam couldn't get started with
the Browns. Poor support handi
capped him and despite an i'm
pressive show of stuff, he failed
to click. Then during the winter
OF 1927 waivers were asked on
him. And Clark Griffith, re.
membering the magic which Jones
once exercised over the Washing
ton Club while wearing a Yankee
uniform, put in his bid.
Immediately Sad Sam paid
dividends. Not only did he
do a comeback overnight, but
The Washington times., 1930-05-28

ne was affiliated In an indus
trial baseball league in st. Paul
where he proved his worth. For
several years he umpired in the
old Dakota League, now split up
IN North and South Dakota sec.
tlons, under Joe Cantillon, then
president, while he has been in
the local association two years.
In all Shelly has umpired II
years and found it interesting
work.
Il have had my share Of
tough games, tOO," says
Shelly, but fortunately have
not had any of the fights SO
set down on umpireS these
days. I've always finished a
term with the several Organi-
ZatiOnS I've been with in
satisfactory manner, which is
naturally pleasing to both my
employer and myself. i like
washington and hope to
make many friends here. The
makeup Of the various teams
here makes me feel that /
will"
Shiely's most unusual experience
here and one that he will never
forget happened in the bus wreck
about two years ago when Tommy
Crooks was killed. Shelly was
with Crooks that day, co-umpiring
with him in the Cornell-Quantico
Marines game. He received minor
injuries which kept him inactive
for several months, not to men,
ton the shock along with it of
losing one of his best friends.
Where other umpires use their

ne uGlBnteu particularly III
turning back his old COM
radeS.
Yesterday this same Jones, who
was cast off by the Yankees in
1926, turned in a four-hit exhibi-
ton against Bob Shawkey's crowd.
And while doing so he checked
off his eighth win in nine starts
over the Yankees since joining
the Washington club.
In 1923 Jones won II games and
lost Z with a losing ball club.
After losing his first start
against the Yankees by a sparse
margin, he grabbed off the next
five. A year ago the Woodsfield,
Ohio, sage met with two successes
and no losses while confronting
the Big Towners. It is safe to say,
however, that yesterdays triumph
was the most brilliant he has yet
registered since opposing his for
mer pals.
"Sure 1 get kick out Of
whipping the YankS," Sam re-
piled this morning wheT. queS-
toned. wouldn't you? 1t
does a fellow lots of good to
come back and beat the club
that let him go, and I'll ad-
NIT I'm no exception"
That Jones has got the Yam
KEGS goat is obvious. And so long
as he continues getting it the
Griffs will stand an excellent
chance of figuring in the 1880
American League race.
Although WaShingtonians have

handsome tribute yet paid him

Walter Johnson.
Johnson today said: Most
ball players Sammy's age are
well past their prime. Yet
he's having the greatest sea
son in his career. He not
only is leading his league
with the bat and playing
great defensive ball, but his
spirit is great. The Washing

HOSPITAL BILL
To HOOVER

The Senate late today took the
last legislative step in the enact
ment of a bill to authorize con-
struction Of a children's tubercu-
lOsis sanitarium in the District or
In nearby suburbs. On motion of
Senator Capper, co-author of the
bill, the Senate opposed a House
amendment which provides that
il this new institution is built
outside Of the boundaries of the
District, the property acquired for
it shall be vested in the United
States by title in the name of
the Attorney General.
The House having accepted the
Senate amendment increasing the
authorized cost of the children's
tuberculosis sanitarium from
$500, 900 to $625, 900, and the Sen.
ate having accepted today the
House amendment regarding titles
to lands which may possibly be
purchased outside of Capital
boundaries, either in Maryland or
Virginia, the bill now goes to the
White House for signature of the
President.
