CAPITAL GAINS TAX CUT
is DECLARED NECESSARY
Presidents Recommendation for
Study of Subject Greeted by
National Realty Group.

President Hoover's recommendations
to Congress that a study be made of
the economic effects of the capital gains
tax and Of its relation to the general
structure Of the income tax law is viewed
by the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards as looking toward an even
tual reduction in the present rate on
capital gains, action believed necessary
by the association if the Federal revenue
act is to give equitable treatment to the
real estate owner.
Reduction of the capital gain rate
would stimulate the liquidation of large
holdings of capital assets, particularly
real estate, and would give impetus to a
general movement in real estate and
consequently to construction and build
ing, the National Association of Real
Estate Boards believes. The cut in rate
would therefore not only be favorable to

Capital Held Fortunate.
Washington has fortunately been
educated to the possibilities of archi-
tectural control by a Volunteer Board
Of Review, which for several years has
carefully scrutinized each application
for a building permit for private build
ings in the District of Columbia. On
this board, called the Architects Ad-
visory Council local members of the
American Institute of Architects, have
served in rotation without compensa-
ton.
Establishment of Government con-
troll over private buildings In Washing
ton was at the urging of President
Hoover. who said in his message to the
last Congress:
Under the provisions Of various
acts of Congress $500, 000, 900 has been
authorized for public buildings and the
land upon which to construct them. In
consideration of these projects, which
will contribute so much to the dignity
of the National Capital, I should like
to renew the suggestion that the Fine
Arts Commission should be required to
pass upon private buildings which are
proposed for sites facing upon public
buildings and parks. Without such con-
troll much of the effort OF the Congress
in Identification of the Capital will be
minimiZed.'

UPSETS.
KOZELUH

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-William
T. Tilden I'd, for 10 years the
outstanding figure in amateur
tennis in this country. was rid
ing on the crest of victory today
in his quest for the professional
championship of the world.
The lanky Philadelphia, hero
of many Davis Cup battle,
scored a stunning surprise at
Madison Square Garden last
night when he defeated Karel
Kozeluh. long the king of pro-
fessionals, in straight sets in the
first of nine matches for the
championship. The score was
6-4, 60, Ga.
The short and stOcky Czech
never had a chance. Not once
was he able to break through
Big Bills cannonball service.
Tilden's blazing service aces
left him helpless, the PhiIa.
delphian winning six love
games to KOZeluh'S one.
Time and again Tilden drew
his opponent out of position and
gained the applause of the crowd
of $4,000 enthusiasts with a neat
placement on the other side of
the court.
Kozeluh's supporters were
stunned by his amazing mac.
curacy, in view of his proverbial
steadiness. and his poor court
tactics. He used too many chop
shots and lobbed when he should
have driven for the sidelines.
You don't lob shots over Big
Bills head; it just isn't being
done.
In the doubles match, Tilden

Rochelle, his doubles partner, de-
feated Kozeluh and Emmett Pare,
of Chicago, former national clay
court champion, 81, Ga.

Irving Hadley, Carl Fischer

and Walter Tauscher also are
to join the party.

ance here late this afternoon or
7 early tomorrow morning.
Several of the abOve-men-
toned are to get ready for
the o1G ming exhibition game
with the Baltimore Orioles
March IL. Others will get sub
sequent early spring assign
mentS.
That courageous old war horse,
Sad Sam Jones, also has been
ordered by President Clark C.
Griffith to report with the first
squad of players at Biloxi.
The reason is obvious.
Though entering his eighteenth
major league campaign this sea-
son, Sam is still an invaluable
early season asset. He pitched
some of his prettiest ball on the
getaway last season. And the
Old Fox believes that plenty of
preseason work will get him in
fettle for the 1881 opening.
Knows His Stuff
Jones, a singer of the old
school, needs few lessons in con-
ditioning. He works hard and
i11telligently and is generally in
shape when called upon.
During the past two seasons
periodical ailments have both
cred Sam no little, however.
And Griff is firm in his belief
that a longer conditioning
period will 60 far toward elimi-
mating some of these disorders.
Just how effective Jones was
against the blue ribbon compe-
tition a year ago is shown in
his record. Three times he
eclipsed both the Athletics and
Yankees while he also was ef
fective against Cleveland.
The second division teams,
oddly enough, we're hardest for
him to beat. For some reason
Sam saw little service against
Chicago and Jared not so well
when opposed to. st. Louis. He
did take care of Detroit. how
ever. and generally managed to
deliver a shrewd article of ball
against all comers.
Gets Extra Day
It is gathered that Sam will
be awarded an extra days rest
between pitching turns through
out the impending campaign. Also
that he will be used most against
the outstanding championship
threats.
During the past two seasons
the popular campaigner has
shown to particular advantage
against Philadelphia and is
admittedly one of the most
troublesome slabsters the AS
have to face.

EX.GR|D ACES
WRESTLE
TONIGHT

What Promoter Joe Turner
regards as the greatest wrestling
show he has ever offered local
patrons of the sport will take
place tonight in the huge Wash
.ington Auditorium. Turner has
listed five bouts and all should
prove attractive and entertaining.
Another immense crowd is the
prospect as Washington goes in
strongly for it's wrestling every
Thursday night. The advance
seat sale has also been heavy but
at noon today there were still
plenty of orchestra seats unsold.
First of all, Tiny Roebuck and
Jim McMillen are to battle in
the top match which will be to
a finish. Roebuck, who hasn't
been beaten in a local ring, has
been training hard the past few
days at the Jewish Community
Center. The former Haskell
Indian Institute football tackle
is eager to beat McMillen, know
ing it means a shot" at Jim
Londos' title.
The giant Indian, who tips
the scales at 248 pounds, has
varied his training program
with several games of handball,
an excellent conditioner for the
leg muscles.
His opponent, McMillen, was
captain of the famous University
of Illinois team of 1925, holding
down a tackle position. He took
most of the hard thumps while
Red" Grange was skyrocketing to
glory.
1t should be an exciting mix-up
when these two big fellows come
to grips. but there are others on
the program who should produce
matches that will rival the main
event.
For instance, there is Dick Shi
kat and every local wrestling fan
appreciates the ability of this Ger
man grappler who was once recog
nized as world heavyweight cham
pion. Shikat knows practically
every hold. has unlimited endur
ance, is speedy, has intelligence
and can break as many holds as
the next wrestler. He is to mix
with Matros Kirilenko, of Russia.
Most of the medical men at
the Auditorium tonight will sup
port DOC" Wilson in his match
with Nick NestOr, the vicious
Baltimore Greek. Wilson re-
ceived his medical degree from
|. the University of Indiana and
is now taking a postgraduate
course at the University of Penn
Sylvania.
Two wildcats will claw each
other when Nazzareno Poggi and
George Hagen, the Marine, go into
action. Wladek Zbyszko. younger
brother of the great Polish tang.
