Times staff Photo

The District Of Columbia esti-
mates for the fiscal year of 1892,
submitted to Congress today by
President Hoover, make a total
of SAT, 1896, ,047. =
Although this is a decrease Of
$6O1, 1886 from appropriations for
the current year, the new budget
represents in the main substantial
increases for many departments
Of the municipal government, and
is regarded as one of the most
liberal group of estimates that has
come from the Budget Bureau In
several years.
Seeming Cut Explained
The seeming cut in the local
estimates is due largely to the fact
that the $3,000,000 appropriated
by Congress for the purchase Of
land for the Municipal Center
project for the current year does
not recur in 1882.
Deducting this, amount from the
budget-and also $65,000 for the

Firemen who were called to

FACES
 BETTER SEASON
On the Surface Tiger Prospects
 Do Not Look So Good

Princeton, N. J., Sept. A P>-If the advent of a flock of ambitious sophomores has the anticipated ef- feet, Princeton is due for a consid- erably better season on the grdiron this year than last. when the Tigers failed to win a single major game.
 On the surface the prospects do not look so good, as Princeton $ losses by graduation included the only players whose deeds stood out in the drab campaign of 1929- Eddie Wittmer in the backfield and big Bill Garfield in the line. but there is plenty of the right kind of spirit apparent and Bill Roper, who winds up his long career as coach of the Tigers this year, hopes that the influx of new talent will serve to make his machine click at last.
 Princeton adherents feel that one big reason why their eleven never seemed able to shift into high last season was that Holmes (Trix) Ben nett of Cleveland, sophomore star of the previous year. was hobbled and handicapped by injuries.
 This year Bennett is back in the best of condition for final fling at football and stands out as the Tigers leading backfield hope.
 Much also is expected from two stars of last seasons freshman eleven, Jack James of New York. who was captain of the yearlings, and Pete Fortune of Chicago, his principal running mate. Then there are such varsity holdovers as Bob Zundel. Cranford, N. J.; Weatherly Reinmund, Englewood, N. H.; Char ley Muldaur, Elizabeth, N. J.; Paul Carey, Mt. Vernon, N. Y, and half a dozen other likely lads.
 The vital center position will be filled by veteran lineman if the coaches stick to their decision to shift Captain Ricardo Mestres of New York from guard to the pivot post. Under this arrangement, the guards would be the sophomores Harrison Garrett or Baltimore, SIX foot 3 inch giant who weighs 225 pounds, and Fred Billings of Pitts burgh.
 Backs have been made into ends and ends into tackles in a shuffling process calculated to shift the jinx that pursued the Tigers last year and get the most out of the man. power available.
 Steve Pendergast and Bill Yeck- ley, ends, are fighting it out with John Rutherford and Stuart Hook enbury for tackle posts; while Doug Levick, converted back, battles for an end assignment. Langdon Lea, son of a Princeton star of the nine ties, appears slated for one wing as- signment and Jules Byles for the ether.

It was unnoticed at the time by players, but Bill Klem. umpire behind the Doyle had not touched the plate at all and could have been called out if the As had been more alert and protested.
 The story was quickly carried to Mack. It was suggested he file a protest. He replied:
 "The Giants won that game fairly and squarely. 1 won't protest. The Athletics do not want to win any games on technicalities.
 The Athletics, after their slump of 1912, were back at the top in 1913 with slightly revamped lineup.

 Again Mack outgeneraled McGraw in the world series. It took the As only five games to win the cham pionship. Mathewson scoring the only triumph for the Giants in a 10 in- ming duel with Eddie Plank. When the Athletics won the pen nant again in 1914, it looked as though nothing could stop the march of Mack. But it was the year of big upheavals. The World war broke out and the Athletics, sound l ly thrashed in four straight games by the Braves in the world series were broken up.

PERFECT DRIVE SP0|LS RECORD Bobby Jones Just Ties Airline
 Record at ArdmOre
BV 0. B. KELLER

Ardmore, Penn, Sept. A P)-1t Is seldom that a perfectly aimed drive or $40 yards, stopping in smooth and gracious lie in the fairway, costs golfing competitor a great chance to establish an all-time rec ord in golf; that is, in all the time the United States amateur cham pionship has been played. which is since 1895. But that, in effect. with just hint of sophistry. was what it cost Bobby Jones, medalist for the sixth time in the dozen amateur championships in which he has competed.
 Bobby captured the medal all right. with cards of 69-73-142, against George Von Elms 7370- 14S. But he only tied again with record. Mir. Corkran having produc- cd brilliant and curious 67-75- 142 in 1924 owe this same east course of the Merton Cricket club, nosing out Mr. Jones on that occa- sion by a couple of strokes.
 When Bobby stood on the seven teenth tee of his second round he had a par and par in which to finish with a Fl. which would have broken the existing all-time record by two shots.
 A pulled drive at the 215-yard seventeenth found a bunker and he needed a 4. Perhaps stimulated by this mishap. Bobby then let out his biggest drive across the old quarry, over the hill and far away, right up with the forest along the left and a gallery of seven thousand fans along the other side.
 It was a good drive. It was a great drive. It was a long drive $40 yards, at least. And it was too good, and too long. for the best sit uation to result. Bobbys ball was down in a deep swale or valley in front of the long apron to the green. He could not see the green for which he was then pitching that is, he had to take a look at it and shoot from dead reckoning at mark he could not see. He ad- mitted afterward that he played what he believe1 to be good enough pitch mashie- -niblick shot, and an easy one. of about 110-yards. It landed a couple of yards from the pin but ran too far and was off the back of the green. His chip back was not too good and he missed narrowly a putt of feet for a par 4, card of 72, and a record. I shall always believe that had his drive contented itself with a modest range of 275 or 300 yards Bobby might have spanked a crisp firm mashie or even a No. 4 iron shot well on the green.
 But that, as MT Kipling observes would be another story.

HORNSBY TO HAVE
 CHARGE 0F CUBS
Rajah Reported to Ask for Con-
 plete 0Verhauling

Chicago. Sept. A LP-What will Rogers Hornsby do with the Cubs?
 Owner William Wrigleys an nouncement that the Rajah will re- place Joe Mccarthy in 1881 brought down the biggest rumor flying around for more than a week, but it also generated others.
 It was reported that Hornsby would insist on a thorough over hauling of the club personnel-and that some of the boys might be in other uniforms next season. No names were mentioned. however.
 It also was reported that Hornsby would assume charge of the team In the final series of the season which opens tomorrow at Wrigley field, with the pestiferous Cincinnati Reds. Hornsby, himself, had nothing to say about anything
 When the Cubs arrived from Bos- ton last night-minus Manager Mo Carthy who had stopped off at his home in Buffalo-no one would say anything about the change. Horns by smilingly reiterated that tits all news to me-" when he was ques- toned about his appointment to sue ceed Mccarthy as manager.
 The die hards among the Cub fans still were clinging 10 the shred Of hope afforded by looking at the mathematical possibilities. The fig ures were not very encouraging for the Cubs, however. The Cardinals and Cubs each have four games to play. If the Cards win only one out of four and Chicago won its four from Cincinnati, tie would result. If both teams win their next two games, the Cardinals will be National league champions.
