3 TRACTION
SUITS
Old Valuation Complaint Now
In Plea by Lines to Knock
Out Student t-Ticket Rate

The fight against reduced fares
for school children was carried
into the District Supreme Court
today.
The Washington Railway and
Electric Company, Capital Trac-
ton Company and the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Company filed
suits directed against the Public
Utilities Commission attacking
the commission order of March
3, 1881, providing for reduced
school fares. The traction COM
panies charge that the order was
issued without regard to va(ua-
tionS of the traction company
properties which has been stand
ardized by the courts.
Back To Valuation
Three bills recite the history of
court litigation over the valua-
tions of the traction company
properties on the 1925 valuation,
which ended in 1927, and say
that the reduced schoOl fare order
was passed without considering
these rate.making valuations or
the manner in witch the loss in
revenues to the traction cOmpan-
les would be made up.
The court has been asked to
restrain the commission from en-
forcing the order; suspend the
operation of the order; declare
the order confiScatory because it
amounts to the taking of prop
erty without due process of law,
and requiring the commission to
transmit to the court the evidence
upon which the order is based.
Fair Return Again
Officials of the traction COM
parSies declared they are not op-
posed to the principle of a re-
duced fare for school children.
They stated, however, that this
did not relieve the necessity of
earning proper return on the
fair value of property used in
service of the public.
Mr.. Ham stated that the opera
GlIlS EXPENSE ana GdA IllCuLIGu
during 1880 for carrying a single
passenger was 6.972 cents and
that under the school child fare
the company stands to lose $91,-
857 a year.
$4,000 Loss Near
Mr.. Hanna's statement declared
the appeal was taken because
three months experience with the
school fare has proved the Capt.
tai Traction Company will stand
to lose no less than $4,000 a
year.
John J. NOOnOn, philanthrOpiSt,
who brought about the reduced
fare for school children. today de-
clared that the traction officials
have reversed the stand they took
at the time Congress was cOnSid-
ering the bill.
He said the traction heads as
Sured him they were in favor of
the reduced fare and that they
would not even contest an order
of the Public Utilities Commits
sion placing the law in operation.

nv approximately 10000 words Of tes-
timony and assured that University
of Iowa athletics are being conducted
in a manner approved BY the Western
conference, the Iowa legislative in
vestigating COMMITTEES had returned to
Des Moines Thursday.
The committee, which b probing the
administrative affairs Of the state uni
versity. spent two days In Chicago
uuizzing Major John I. Griffith and
Amos Alonzo Stage ST., athletic DE-
rector of the University Of Chicago.
on the reasons why Iowa was suspend
ed from athletic relationship with
other Big Ten schools In May, 1929.
The committee learned, at some
length. that Iowa was adjudged
guilty Of having prohibited and sub
sidized athletes, had countenanced a
loan fund for athletes, and had per
mitted alumni interference In the
MANAGEMENT of its athletic affairs.
It also learned that the so-called
"Beltinp fund" was not known to have
existed when Iowa was ousted. and
that the former director Of athletics,
DR.. Paul Betting, was not responsible
for Iowa's athletic troubles. Major
Griffith assured the committee the
Big Ten has confidence in the ability
of President Walter Jessup and Ath-
letic Director E. II. Lauer to properly
handle the schools athletics.
Major Griffith also stated Iowa
would not have been readmitted to
good standing in February, 1880, II q
number Of athletes who benefited by
the Betting fund had not been de-
clared ineligible for competition.

Mueller, who spends much time

A Chicago newspaper had advertised
5000 in prizes for q race to be run
on Nov. 2, but several manufacturers
were not ready with their mounts by
that time and the race was postponed
until Thanksgiving day.
So Mueller, driving q Benz, raced
against q Duryea for an independent

Red Lucas, look good. He has an
ace catcher in Clyde Sukeforth, also
q hard hitter.
Frankly, I don't know where we
will wind up, said Howley. "You

our league has. That goes all the
way down the list. Maybe we'll be
lucky to stay out Of last place.

This club Is going to go places and
do things with q lot Of good young
ball players. Well hustle whether
we are able to show the punch or
not"
The Reds, having decided to re-
build while the others wage a battle
royal, will present more new faces
than any other club In the league.
Howley broke up the best double
play combination In the majors when
he let Hughey Critz 60 to the Giants
and benched Horace Ford but he has
put together another brilliant de-
fensive pair in Tony Cuccinello, at
second, and Leo Durocher at short.
They pulled five double plays Wed
nesday.
Cuccinello also is the most consist
emily long hitter on the club. He
was going at close to q 400 clip to-
ward the end Of 1880 and has been
assigned to the cleanup position.
The infield will start with Heath,
the Hollywood recruit. on first and
Jersey Joe Strip on third. Both can
hit. The reserves are Ford, SigafooS
and Dresser.
To Use Heilmann
Handsome Harry Heilmann, the old
American league batting champion,
will be welcomed for outfield duty
anytime he RECEIVERS from an ailment
of the right arm. So far. however,
the signs have pointed to the end Of
Heilmann's great career.

Golf Pros Battle 40 Hours Till Dark
Sarazen-FarreIl and Mcfarland
to Play 10 Deciding Holes
Thursday

Miami, Fla, March 12.-(H1-Un-
able to break a golfing deadlock be-
fore darkness fell Wednesday night,
Gene Sarazen and Johnny Farrell
had to 60 to the links for Is holes
Thursday to end their 40 hole tieup
with Willie MacFarlane and Witty
Cox for the championship OF Mlaml's
5000 international four ball matches.
Sarazen and Farrell, seeking to re-
peat their tournament win Of 1928,
found the OPPOSITION of MacFarlane
and Fox too much to down in the
regulation So hole final match, after
see-sawing and two hole leads
through the day, before the largest
gallery in the history of the SIS 5000
event.
Coming to the seth all square, the
teams halved the last hole and went
into the extra hole phase. Then they
went through the 37th, 38th. seth
and 4Oth holes without breaking the
tie.
At the Seth hole, Cox missed a four
and a five. MacFarlane, shooting his
fourth, putted eight feet only to see
the ball rim the cup and bounce out.
Sarazen picked up. Farrell, a scant
eight feet from the cup, appeared to
win, but the ball rode the rim and
lifted out on the other side to card
a halving five.
With dusk falling at the 40th cup,
tournament officials postponed play
until Thursday, calling for an 10 hole
match to decide the issue.
Should Farrell and Sarazen win,
they will upset a tradition that no
champions Of the event have been
able to repeat.
