CONVICTION, KY, December
26.-The Rauf Bros, forced out
of business last Spring, when
$4,000 worth of their uninsured
jewelry stock was stolen, had a
reason today to believe there is
a Santa Claus.
George Rauf found a Christ
mas package which contained

brother Ray, and they ran to
their garage.
There they discovered a Christ
mas packaged which contained
every piece OF the stolen jewelry.

of milk from Virginia also is loom
ing because truckers in that State
hauling milk, will, if the motor recon-
mendations are carried out, have to
paw an additional levy of about 10 per
cent, as an effort Is being made to
have their vehicles classed as COM
mon carriers.
So far as Maryland Is concerned,
Fanciulli explains, the commissioner OF
motor vehicles Is attempting to bring
within the scope of the State COM
mon carrier law contract trucks which
regularly go into Maryland from the
District to bring in supplies for vari-
GUS establishments here.
For two or three months no arrests
have been made, and one concern OF
which he knows, he says-the Trl-State
Trucking Co.-has been paying the tax
which is one-fifth OF cent per ton
mile. In some other cases, he said,
trucking companies have paid nothing,
but agreed to make retroactive set
tlement, If the applicability OF the law
is upheld.
There have been no test cases
brought into court, Fanciulli explains,
because of difference OF opinion be-
tween Maryland authorities as to
whether the statute can be stretched
to cover the operations in question. 1t
is feared, too, that the present agita-
ton may be a forerunner Of an at
tempt to tax the private trucks
A test case may be made, Fanciulli
says.
1000 Concerns Invited.
The proposed Virginia, Maryland
and District levies, Fanciulli adds,
would easily bring the added levies to
truck operators here to $2,ooo,o0o an
nually.
There are about $4,000 trucks In
Washington, according to advices that
Fanciulli has received. Nearly 1000
local concerns have been asked to join

MAX To START
SPARR|NG

CONNEAUT LAKE PARK, Pa,
May 27.-Col. Billy Mccartney,
joint promoter of the Max Schme-
ling-Young Stribling heavyweight
title bout at Cleveland on July 8,
today announced that Max would
start swapping punches with spar
ring partners this weekend.
Schmeling will box in public
Friday and Saturday when 10
special trains will bring German
delegations from Buffalo, Cleve-
Iand,' Pittsburgh and Youngstown
to the champions training quar-
ters here.
Mccartney indicated Max is
taking the coming bout with
all seriousness by stating a list
of so sparring partners would
be announced before the first
public sparring session Friday.
Max, thus far. has been en-
gagged chiefly in loosening up his
muscles and acquiring a coat Of
wind and sun tan.
He played 18 holes Of golf yes
terday, doing an even 80 for the
first eighteen holes, hiked five
miles through the country and
fished on Conneaut Lake for

Rainbow-Pot of Gold

Under which ever class they
fall, they don't get sufficient to
cultivate their taste for the
finer things of life and they
exist from day to day hoping
against hope that through the
means of a baseball pool, hoss
race or lottery ticket they will
strike it rich.
OF course their chances to
realize such sudden riches or
to in any other way travel the
road to immediate wealth are
not one in a million, but hope
ever springs eternal within the
human breast and thus we
have a large majority of our
population locally which is
ever in their trying with a
dollar riding here and there
on the result of a race, the
flip of the dice or the luck
of a draw.
In a nutshell that describes
our theory of the human ele-
ment that makes washington

just a Personal View

Please get us straight that
this is a personal view, not
an editorial opinion. Others
herein and hereon are paid to
have official views about such
matters. Ours, we might say, is
more of an observation. We
haven't personally observed
that acts of Congress have
kept a nation of people from
indulging in certain petty, but
insiduous vices.
What we started out to men
ton is that Washington is
known as a red hot" horse
town. That is to say. that we
are known to be q city that is
very fond of our thoroughbreds.
particularly when they are gal
Looping with a two-dollar note
stuck between their saddle and

Exactly why Washington, not
a community of moneyed peo-
pie by any means, is such a
good horse town, is anybody's
guess, but we have had our
own pet theory about it, and
perhaps you would care to lis
ten to us expound them.
It is this way-according to
our calculations: The pre-.
ponderance of our population
is made up of either underpaid
or poorly paid Government en-
ployees.

\ OOk FINISHES
MALONEY

BOSTON, Mass, May 81
Make a place for Ernie Schaaf,
22-year-old fighting Viking. in the
front ranks of the heavyweight
contenderS.
Schaaf won the New England
heavyweight championship when
he scored a sensational Knockout
over Jimmy Maloney, of South
Boston, after / minute and 10
seconds of fighting at the Boston
garden last night.
The sudden ending of the
bout was a tremendous surprise
as MalOney had entered the
ring a 10 to Z favOrite. In view
of his fine shOwings in his two
bouts with Primo Camera, Ma
lOney was expected to OutpOint
the youthful Schaaf.
Maloney never had a chance
of winning. He scored with a
couple of light left jabs early in
the contest, but was soon backed
into Schaaf's corner as the for.
mer tar surged forward.
Schaaf pressed in close and
took a right-hand punch on the
chest. Maloney started to weave,
dropped his guard and pulled his
right hand back. Schaaf drove
forward, crashed a fierce left
hook to the mouth which split
the right side of Maloney's up
per lip wide open. Before Ma.
loney could steady himself Schaaf
smashed his right to the jaw,
Maloney staggered forward foot

Speaking of Manush's three
hits yesterday. one of them vas
of the questionable variety. 1t
came in the sixth inning with no
one on. Heine slammed a scorcher
just over Rhymes head. The
Red Sox short stop made spec
tacular stab for it, but dropped
the ball after it had been appar
emily caught.
Manush was given hit after
the whole Red Sox team, Man
ager Walter johnson of the
Griffmen, and Umpires Nallin
and Ormsby had it out in words
as to whether or not Rhyme had
made a momentary catch.
Rules "NO Catch"
Ump OrmSby ruled that Rhyme
had not caught the ball, or held
it long enough to call it a mo-
mentary catch. with the result
that Manush was credited with a
bingle. This started a batting
rally for the Griffmen which so
ruffled Pitcher Jack Russell, of
the Red Sox, that two runs were
scored before the last batter was
retired. Cronin drove Manush
home with a triple and scored a
moment later on Vests infield
out.
The Red SOx finally won the
game by a score of 6 to 4, a feat
which kept Sad Sam Jones from
registering his fifth straight vic
tory of the season.
Jones hurled game he would

But if there is a lot of wag-
ering done in the town and

old Uncle and if his children
consume no small portion of
his time in reading dope sheets

eral offices.
Everybody is doing it here
in Washington and all other
way stations our train has
touched in a long. long trail of

don't think an act of Congress
is going to stop 'em any more

stopped other alleged abuses.
The Washington times., 1931-05-27

With which we heartily agree.
Heine Manush is playing a splen-
did game. so different than at
this tmie a year ago when he was
bothered with a pesky leg injury
which handicapped his perform
ance no little.
Heine is one of the peppiest
members of the Griffmen this sea-
son and is showing it in every
contest. He is meeting the ball
Squarely and fielding like he has
never fielded before. Yesterday
he roamed all over the left field
section f Fenway Park to snare
five SkyScrapers that came his
way and he led his team mates
at bat with three solid bingles.
Got Into Stride
Hitting the ball is something
he was not doing so consistently
about a month ago, it will be re-
membered.
"It'S all in getting your
stride" says Heine. 81 was
bothered a little earlier this
year because 1 hadn't worked
all the kinks of winter out of
my muscles. But now 1 really
feel great and like playing
ball"
The Griffmen, incidentally, play
double-header with the now
called peSky Red Sox. One of
the games is that called off Mon
day because of the IL or 13 ram
drops which fell before game
time. Manager Walter johnson

John "Shono" Collins, manager
Of the Boston Red Sox hurls 6
challenge or maybe answers ar
important question when thu
checking of the Philadelphia AZ
is thought of at this stage of the
pennant race.
Collins believes that his Rec
Sox will be the. team to really
and truly stop the AS when they
are to be once and for al
stopped. Says John:
"The AS come to town to
play us two double headers
over Saturday and Sunday.
think my Sox have a great
chance of hating them be-
cause Of the strain those games
are going to be on Connie
Mack'S pitching corps. Great
rs the champs are, they have
only three winning pitchers,
Grove, Earnshaw and Wal.
berg, and they can't pitch four
games in two days"
Grove, Earnshaw and Walberg
will be available to pitch three
OF the games, which means that
the Sox will have to do some
great hitting to get either or all
OF them out of the way.
Manager Optimistic
John is optimistic. however
and is pointing for the battles
every day now. Even though his
team is in last place at the pres
ent moment, he likes it's chances
of climbing and sees no reason
that it will not, with just a few
breaks which have not been com
ing their way of late.
1--WE played some good and
some bad bail on the road"
says Collins.
1--WE didn't have much luck.
When we had good pitching
we didn't hit, and when we hit
our pitching was off. We need
only four or five wins in
row to be up in the first diviS-
ion. We ought to come near
getting them during our long
home stay"
The Sox pilot considers the
AS, Yanks and Griffmen the
glass of the league. But he
figures that he can beat all three
with everybody playing real base
ball. He has high hopes OF his
team rising before another trip
SS taken West.
Catching AS Topic
Catching the AS is the chief
topic of conversation among
everybody these days. Clubs like
the Red Sox, far from contend
ing position, are expressing their
opinions and talking it over be-
tween themselves as to just how
and when the AS are to be
tripped, and whether they are to
be tripped or not.
The Yankees came through yes
terday and stopped the Spectacu-
aar winning streak but that is
only the beginning, according to
walter Johnson. He says Connie
Mack's team must be thumped
hwo or three times in short
period to make them know that
khey are not the classieSt collec-
bion of players in the league.
"The thing about it nOw,"
saws Johnson, sis the fact that
the AS have become very cOcky
because of their fast playing
to date. And when you get a
team like that, playing both
excellent baseball and cOcky
baseball, too. you have got a
combination that is hard to
handle.
"It's a hard proposition,
especially when pitcher works
hard to get Simmons, for in
stance, and then sees the
prOdigiOus AL step across the
plate, or cut at bad ball and
sock it out of the lot for a
homer or something
