before the coming body. However, last
minute petitions, filed today and
Monday, may run the list into larger
number.
One of the important petitions Is
for the change from first commercial,
110-foot D area classification to resi-
Dental 9O-foot C area for the prop
erty at 1926 Massachusetts, avenue,
Just below Dupont Circle. The petit
ton is presented for Mrs. Charlotte E.

area and residential 40-foot A area, to
residential 40-foot B restricted area,
is filed by Ringgold Hart for R. S.
Biron.
Gawler & Sons Appeal.

the petition for changing the CLASH
fication of the property on the east
side of Wisconsin avenue between
Western avenue and Jenifer street
from residential 40-foot A restricted
area and first commercial 60-foot G
area, to second commercial 6O-foot G

At the last meeting of the commits
sion permission was granted for the
changing of this property to first
commercial classification, which car
ried the requirement that consents be
obtained from adjoining property own
ers before such an establishment be
erected there.
Elias Gelman asks that the south
east corner Of Third and T streets be
changed from residential 40-foot D
area to residential 60-foot c area,
which would permit the construction OF
f1ve-story apartment house. In 1880
the commission refused petitions for
both second commercial and first
commercial classif1cations for property
at this location.

for Women and others interested have
asked for change of the classification
of the coming of two lots on the east

REALTORS OPPOSE
|. TAXATION REVIVAL
Stamp for Transfers Plan
Meets DisapprovaI of
Association.

The National Association Of Real
Estate Boards will oppose the revival
of the old stamp tax on realty trans
fers, which Is part of the Federal tax
plan, according to Henry G. lander.
Chicago, chairman of the association
Federal Taxation and Legislation Com
mittee.
The tax would make it necessary to
purchase special stamps to place on
realty deeds, and would require that
SO cents In such stamps be used for
every $500 of value.
Realtors were instrumental in hav-
ing this tax repealed in 1924, and will
work to stop its re-enactment," said
Mr.. Zander, who pointed out that I'M
scrupulous persons could purchase any
number of the stamps and thus indicate
false valuation of the property, mas
much as the value Is rarely set forth
in the deed.
This Is an open door to fraud, and
would wipe out much of our other effort
to protect the public in real estate
deals. People do not stop to think that
the stamps might be manipulated and
simply assume that this shows the
value.
I'm addition we are opposed to this
measure because local governments de-
pend on their revenue mainly from real
estate, which is already paying too
large share.

JOE M'CLUSKEY
 RACED PAPERS

Manchester, Conn: Aug 3-(UP) |-People in Manchester, who once were newspaper. customers of Joe McCluskey, are not surprised to find that agile 21 year old Ford ham runner, heads the list of run ners on the United States 300 meter hurdles team, which is par- ticipating in the Olympic games.
 Francis Ray, of Manchester, tells of his mother, who since has died, and himself, sitting in their kitchen with the door open, wait ing to see Joe alight upon the porch platform by the air route over the side rail. The rail was three feet from the platform and three substantial steps led up to 1t, making the jump between sev- en and eight feet in height. Joe would bound over fence, gather speed in a run of six feet and then leap from the ground over the porch rail. Throwing the paper in to oneof them. he would grin "good morning" and then descend by the same route.
 Manchester folks recall how Joe would leave a portion of his pa- pers in the storm house of the Odd Fellows building. then strike out on asection of his route. Many of his customers worked in Hartford and they left every Is minutes on trolley cars. He would race around his route and arrive back in time to go through these cars with pa- pers for those who had not found time to get their paper from the storm house.
 All the while the boy was train ing his muscles and gaining the experience that enabled him to win the hurdles 20 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor few days ago.

Caldwell Signs
 With Harrisburg

New Haven, Aug 3.-Bruce Gala we'll. leading hitter in the Eastern league in 1880 and 1881 and who was declared a free agent by Com missioner Landis after salary dis pute with the New Haven club, thereafter signing with Brooklyn and being farmed to Hartford. to- day signed with the Harrisburg club of the New York-Penn league. having been given. his free agency by Brooklyn.
 Caldwell lost several weeks in getting into action this season and never reached his stride with either Brooklyn or Hartford, hitting a bare .233 whne the Eastern league suspended business. Hartford tried him both on first base and in right field. Just where he will fit into the picture at Harrisburg Is not known as yet. With Wright. first sacker, hitting well, Caldwell may replace Kern in right field.

GRIMM TO LEAD THREE-CORNERED
 FIGHT FOR FLAG
New Cub Manager Out to Bring Boys Out of Hit- ting Slump -Phils Take Pirates Again

New York, Aug 3- GU. P.)- Fireworks may be expected imme- diately in the National League, now that directors of the Chicago Cubs have unIeashed a new manager, Charley Grimm, with orders to boot his outfit into a hitting streak.
 If first Baseman-Ma Grimm carries out these orders effectively, a three-cornered rough-and-tum- ble fight should ensue among the slumping Pittsburg Pirates. the Bellicose Phillies and the desperate Cubs.
 Manager Grimm indicated that the Pirates would change the word ing of the old ditty "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charley" to Look out, Here Comes Charley
 Charley's Ideas
 Grimm said he wasn't optimistic about the Pirates slump. Its only temporary. They're worn out from double-headers. I expect them to give us tough fight. But mark my words. We'll catch them. And the Phillies-yes, I expect they'll give us plenty of trouble too"
 The Phillies certainly looked like trouble-makers yesterday when they slapped the Pirates for four straight defeats, II to 6, Philadel- phia's 11th win over Pittsburg in 15 starts.
 Chuck Klein led the attack for Burt Shotton's outfit with his 31st home run of the season and a brace of singles, accounting for four tal- lies. Mallon, Lee and Heathcote also hit four-baggers for the Phil lies, and Comorosky drove out two and Paul Waner one for Pittsburg.
 Despite this defeat the Pirates maintained their lead of five games over the runner-up Cubs, who dropped a 4 to 2 decision to Brook lyn.
 Giants Close Squeak
 Boston's Braves nosed out the St Louis Cardinals, 4 to 3, and the New York Giants beat the Cincin- nati Reds, to 2. although the Reds outhit them II to z.
 In the American League, Rookie Bill Chamberlain was unfortunate in his major league mound debut when his Chicago White Sox lost to Washington, 4 to 1. The ChisOx did not support his Shit pitching.
 The St Louis Browns downed the tail-end Boston Red Sox, 6 to 4. after scoring four runs in the sec ond inning.
 New York at Detroit was washed out. They were the only games scheduled.

Mccarthy is also the deposed manager of the Chicago Cubs, and the victim of a

There was talk about two s.cliques'' busking one another, with certain players loyal to Me- Carthy and others friendly to Hornsby. Naturally, under such conditions, the Cubs lost games. Incidentally, Joe Mccarthy still has his friends on the team.

PITCHERS RAPIDLY FADING
 IN BIG LEAGUES
BY GEORGE KIRsKEY

\OHItGU fFCSS Ctan NOTECcPOsAuChSJ
 Veteran pitchers are fading out of the National league ranks this season, crowded out of the picture by youngsters who are playing im- portant roles in the hottest pennant race in years.
 Wee Willie" Sherdel. who won 165 games during his IA years with the St Louis Cardinals and Boston Braves, was one of the first of the "Old Guard" to slip. The Braves cut him loose. and he caught on with the Cardinals, but they too found his arm had lost It's strength and he was shipped to the min- CTS.
 Clarence Mitchell, only south- paw spit-ball pitcher remaining in the big leagues, found the going too rough and the New York .Gi- ants relegated him tot he role of coach. Mitchell spent 16 full years fn the National league.
 Another veteran near the end of his major league career is Waite Hoyt, who was released by Brook lyn. The Giants picked him up for a trial, but he hasn't shown enough to stick around much long CT. Hoyt has the unusual record of having pitched in seven world series, six with the Yankees and one with the Athletics, His world series record is 6 games won and 4 lost.
 Burleigh Grimes, who will be go this month is finding 1t harder to win games this year than ever be- fore. Sickness laid him. low early in the season, but he got off we'll by winning four of his first five games with the Chicago Cubs. Then he lost six out of the next seven games he worked in, and Manager Rogers Hornsby transformed him from a regular starter to relief hurler.
 Eppa Jeptha Rixey, Cincinnati veteran and oldest pitcher in point of service in the National league, is almost through. Rixey has put in 19 years in the majors and can't go on much longer.
 John P. Quinn, who also has 10 years of service behind him. but IS of it in the American league, hasn't proved of much value to Brooklyn and many fans wouldn't be surprised to Sc the 47-year old veteran cast adrift before anotehr year rolls around.

Down But Not Out

Though the New Haven Bulldogs of the Eastern league had to fold up. those with the interests of baseball at heart in New Haven found a way out which will give the fans plenty of action for the remainder of the season at Dono- van field. Now, it's to be the George Weiss Colonials, Ono relation to the George White Scandals) which will play exhibition games with major
 hague and other clubs in New Haven once or twice a week, the team to be made up of former New Haven and Bridgeport Eastern leaguers. The Colonials were run by George Weiss prior to the world war. and had a great combine, in- ciuding Chick Bowen, Pie Way, Ty Cobb, George and Charley Brickley and Clyde Waters. The team will be managed by George White, that busy little man from the Elm City, who used to manage the Provi- dence Grays, who is attempting to book the New York Yankees, Giants, and Brooklyn Dodgers this season.
