United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Chair-
man Reed Smoot of the senate
finance committee says there shall
be no more bond issues to pay
treasury deficits.
He is challenged by Senator Pat
Harrison Dem, Miss, who is the
senior minority member Of the
finance committee. Along those
lines the tax battle will be fought
in the senate this winter.
The treasury has intimated to Re-
publican leaders in congress that it
does not want to borrow more
money without additional con-
gressional authorization. Now, with
less than half the fiscal year gone,
The deficit approaches 81 600, 900 900.
Majority leader James E. Watson of
the senate expects the figure to be
double that on June 30, 1882.
In Wide Disagreement
Not only do Harrison and Smoot
disagree about bonds, but Smoot
wants a sales tax, and Harrison says
No" They are in conflict as to the
manner in which income taxes shall
be increased.
we have got to balance the
budget" Smoot declares. The way
to do it is levy new taxes. That
procedure would not retard business
recovery because business men will
not stop doing business merely be-
cause their taxes are raised. In
creased taxes are not a pleasant
subject, but they are necessary.
The best available source of in
come is a sales tax. It is productive
and comparatively unobjectionable.
All persons able to do so should
pay little in taxes. There now
are about 100000 income tax pay
ers and as many as 100000 more
might be added if we lowered the
exemptions.
FavOrs 1924 Maximum
The maximum surtaX should be
increased to about the levels of the
1924 law, when incomes of 100000
paid about IS per cent and those of
100000 and greater paid 40 per
cent. The maximum surtax now
is 20 per cent and it applies to all
incomes Of 100000 and more.
Inheritance taxes should be
abandoned by the federal govern
ment because it has no part in the
transfer Of title to property.
There should not be a bond is
sue. The people are against it."
Says Senator Harrison:
I had hoped we could avoid tax
increases. It appears we can not.
But we should issue bonds to the
limit of the financial fabric.
II am against the sales tax. 1t is
a productive source of revenue.
But it is inequitable Manufacturers
would not absorb the tax. 1t would

Ossie, however, is one other ami
NAL. He is a comedian Of the
first order tbelieve it or not) and
here is a story to prove it.
Before Ossie's STORY" gets too
far, let it be explained the popu-
lar third sacker of the Griffmen
is a postmaster with so-called dry
humor.
A Man of Few Words
A man of few words, Bluege
really says something when he
says it and most Of the time it's
funny as it can be.
This particular incident was
one Of the most comical Of the
season. It happened in Philadel-
phia when the Griffmen were
making their last visit.
The AS were not particularly
interested in the games being
"in" as far as the 1881 pennant
was concerned. To the Griffmen,
however, it meant a great deal,
for they were fighting for second
place.
Jumps" MCGOWAN was behind
the plate that day. Mickey
Cochrane. of course, was the
Philadelphia catcher.
Both being world-known gab-
sters, not to mention the closest
of friends, it was just part of
their day to keep up a continual
chatter during the game.
Talked Widely
They talked on all subjects,
sometimes touching upon the
game at hand. but keeping most
of it to happenings outside Of
the ball park.
BY the time the seventh in
ming rolled around, Bluege had
listened to enough Of it. Upon
his turn at bat he stalked within
two feet of Gthe plate, then stop
ped. The MCGOWAN -Cochrane
chatter continuing. Ossie coughed
a couple of times, grunted and
walked further away from the
plate, appearing more and more
disgusted.
Finally, Ossie could stand no
more. Advancing nearer and
looking as cross as step-mother's
uncle, he said ironically:
"When you fellows finish =
/. your conversation, weu go on
with this ball game, if you don't
mind. But finish what you
have to say. don't let me in
terrupt you."
Cochrane dropped his mask and
MCGOWAN busted off the plate in
confusion. Bluege, after the game,
was kidded numerically about the
incident by his teammates. It
was a marvel to them that Oss
had uttered so many words in so
short a time.
All BIuege would say when
accosted about the incident was
"Yah!" in his best German.
And to this day Ossie'S best
comeback in conversation is
'Yah!"

Doubles matches, popular in
Baltimore bowling circles Nre
coming into their own in Wash
ington with a vengeance.
The latest and by far the most
important doubles tilt in which
two local teams will meet will
take place in the next two days.
Eddie ESpey and Paulie Ha1ri-
son, National doubles champions,
who, in addition, won the Co
lumbia Doubles Sweepstakes to
further substantiate their claim
as the leading pair in this neck
Of the wood, are to clash with
Ollie Pacini and Red Megaw in a
ten game home and home match.
The first block is scheduled
for tomorrow night at the
Temple at 7:30 o'clock and the
final block will be rolled Thurs
day night at the Arcadia.
,Pacini and Megaw, prides Of
Northeast Washington, recently
Succumbed to the Sharp-shooting
of Wesley Askew and Ray Barnes
in one of the most sensational
two.men match in history Of
duckpins.
Both Broke Record
Both teams broke former all
times ten-game marks, with the
Baltimoreans' winningN total, 1865,
likely to remain on the books for
many years. It represents an aver
age Of 1885 per nan over a
series of ten games.
The Orioles new ten-game mark
Of 1912 also appears to be solidly
based, each man accounting for
more than 131 pins per game.
Pacini and Megaw's 2527 ten
game total beat the old ten-gape
mark by three pins and credited
each man with an average Of
1867 pins for the distance.
But in Espey and Harrison,
particularly, Harrison, they meet
to veteran two-timers, despite
their tender years When the two
youngsters pounded their way to
victory in the Columbia Sweep
stakes, they triumphed over seven
of the best doubles combinations
Of Washington and Baltimore. Be-
sides, this was a doubly difficult
test in that they had to roll is

Greatest Feat
This feat, performed in the
dying days of the past season and
half forgotten in the heat of the
current campaign, far outranks
their win in the N. D. P. B. c.
test. It required sustained skill,
iron nerves and endurance. But
the kids came through with flying
colors.
Harrison's reputation as a
doubles bowler is second to none.
He climbed into the limelight in
this department of competition
several years ago, alongside of
Make Rosenberg, and has been

Of rolling ever since.
Coupled with Elsie Fischer they
