TAX|CAB RATE WAR
RENEWEDW|THCUTS
BY TWO COMP AN|ES
City Proper Fee of Diamond
and Pro-Tex-U Now
Down to 20 Cents.
BELL STANDING PAT
ON 25-50-75 CENTS
Second and Third Zones of Former
Two Services Now Same
at 40 and 60.

Washingtonians were riding more
cheaply than ever today as a result OF
the latest taxicab rate war.
The newest battle for supremacy in
the matter of low rates was started last
week, when the Bell Cab Co., which
introduced the fiat rate basis here. re-
duced its charges from 35-60-85 cents
to 25-50-75 cents.
The Pro-Tex-U Cab Co. retaliated
Yesterday by whiting its city proper
fee down to 20 cents. Then the Dia-
mond Cab Co. went the Pro-TeX-U
concern one better. so to speak, by
slashing its prices from 35-60-S5 cents
to 20-40-60.
Second and Third Zones.
AS a result of this move. the Diamond
and Pfo-Tex-U firms were on an even
basis so far as their "city proper" rates
were concerned, but the latter organ
ization's charges for the second and
third zones remained at As and 70
cents, respectively However. Pro-Tex-U
officials met last night and decided to
reduce their second and third zone
| prices to the same level as the
| Diamonds.
Thus far the rate war is confined to
the Zone-rate taxis, with officials of the
Yellow and Black & White cab CON-
panies which operate on meter basis
declaring they propose to make NO
reductions.
| Announcement of the cuts by the
| Diamond and Pro-TeX-U organizations
was received by the other zone-rate
groups with a silence which, in some
quarters, was construed as an indica-
ton of an impending struggle.
Statement May Be Made.
At the Offices of the City Cab Co,
for instance, it was said, officials were
not prepared to issue statement at
the moment, but that one might be
Forthcoming before the end of the day
AS for the Bell group, it wss said at
the office Of Leon Brill, jr, president of
the company, that, for the present, at
least, the concern is standing pat"
Meanwhile, the Public Utilities Com
mission, it is understood, is keeping a
close watch on the rate war.

HOOP PLAYERS OF HIGH SCHOOL

Boy eno Girl Teams Play Interesting Basket
 ball Games

Basketball players in the first string squad of the Juneau high school possess the makings of a championship team. The student athletes in their game against the high school graduates in the high high gymnasium Wednesday show ed some fast and smooth work, and at times the Alumni was com- pletely baffled. The scholars can be improved in shooting for the basket, and they will be. When they are, they will be hard to beat for title honors.
 uates by a score of 32 to 23 In the early part of the contest, the scholars pulled prearranged plays so quickly and smoothly, that the graduates often had trouble in keeping the ball in sight.
 Show to Unusua Advantage
 Elmer Lindstrom, Alvin Blom- quist and George Karabelnikoff showed to exceptional advantage among the student players. All of them, however, were uniformly good and evidenced that they had profited from the training and in- structica given them by Coach E. G. Wentland.
 The game between the girls two teams demonstrated that Miss Enid Burns, the coach of the feminine athletes, has developed squad from which two sextettes of almost equal strength can be selected. The Scarlets defeated the Whites 35 tc g. Among the maidens, Eva Roc- ovich Margaret Hanson, Elizabeth Terhune. Barbara Vim, Mary Jeannette Whittier and Virginia Ulrich scintillated.
 Freshmen Are Victors
 The Freshman boy and Eighth Grade boy contest uncovered some likely lads. The Freshmen won 2 to 24. Four of the future great. are worthy of mention. They arc Leroy West, John Whitely, Ralpf Bardi and Thomas Hall.

 Many coaches take measures to prevent the score from becoming lop-sided in game that develops quickly into rout Knute Rockne, except on rare occasions, did not coach his Notre Dame teams to run wild against any opposition. One of the few instances was when he turned Brill loose against Penn sylvania last year.
 Army also has shown restraint in giving the works" to any team from the outlands that visits West Point.
 Big scores don't mean anything and why humiliate a squad that has come long way for a friendly game, if it happens to be out classed?" One of the Army coaches asked during a discussion of the matter.
 There are many instances of set- tling old scores by the steam roller method Dartmouth did not recover from a shellacking by the old Kaw-Pfann combination of Cornell's palmy days until one sea- son when the Indians caught the Big Red aerial defense in a fog up in the Hartover hills and buried Cornell by 62 to 13.
 Just A Hole-In-One
 From Buenos Aires, where golf has come along to share a good portion of the sporting spotlight, Gideon Seymour relays to us a story that should give further en- couragement to the duffers.
 It concerns a Chilean, Daycard who helps translate the Associated Press report into Spanish for South American papers, and T. s. Gar rett, an American member of the AP. Staff who volunteered to show his fellow workman something about the rudiments of the game "Daycard, his coat tails flying and his pince-nez glasses constant ly falling off, ploughed his way through three holes with indifferent re-ults," writes Seymour. The fourth was short hole. 125 yards over some thick trees. Daycard nj a ball quite squarely; it bounded along under the trees and rolled crazily into the cup for hole ir one!

T was wondering why the in- ' 'e5itutions named in these tabu- lations Showing Davis & Elkins oc,.ege as the national football scoring leader) allowed such un- favorable publicity, since excessive scores indicate playing against markedly inferior opponents" writes N. E. Breretun from Oak land, Cal.
 But On looking up the first named in the World Almanac, the mystery is cleared Davis & Elkins is listed as a co-educational col 1ege of 300 students. No wonder they want publicity. But how can such a small place find inferior teams?

Football scoring statistics have become a part of the game but there is no question that they in- volve many a misleading total.
 It's a source of ballyhoo that fre- quently creates distorted values. No points, for example, are posted to the credit of the boys who do the take out" work for the ball carriers, although there are rela- 'tively few cases where this situa- tion has any detrimental effect up- on the gridiron forces.
