Griffs' Showing Gratifying.

CONSIDERING the conditions
~ under which the Nationals
performed before President
Hoover and some $4,000 other
shlverlng fans yesterday, their
10 victory embodied much to be
gratifled over, even if 10 rounds
were needed to achieve it.
Crowder'S feat in travelling
the entire route and yielding
only seven hits, while display
ing perfect control, constitutes
a hopeful augury for the club.
1t indicates the General really
is primed to deliver from the
outset this year instead of
dawdling along until the end of
May, as was the case last sea-
son.
In other essentials the Grif-
men also came up to expecta-
tions. They fulfilled their

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

~ ETTING off on the right
foot for a change, after
~ three successive season
inauguralS where they
stumbled at the outset, the
Nationals have a fine chance
to entrench themselves in first
place in playing five straight
games with the only second
division outfit in the East.
Provided the weather at Bos-
ton, usually far worse in the
Spring than the football brand
prevailing here for the curtain
raiser yesterday, permits it, the
quartet of contests at the Hub,
starting this afternoon, should
end with the Griffmen clinging
to the top rung of the ladder, for
in the meantime the Yankees
and Athletics will be cutting
each others throats = in Phila-
delphia.
Cronin's continued illness,
which kept him confined to a
hospital here, naturally will
prove a severe handicap, but it
would be dangerous to risk a
setback for the crack short
stopper, even if he were able to
don a uniform.

rated as heavy favorites to win their

the loss OF Burleigh Grimes veteran

Except for the pitching staff, the
Cardinals, Giants and Cubs start the
season with only one change apiece in
their hne-ups. The Cardinals will have
Jimmy Collins in the outfield in place
OF Hafey; the Giants will use Len
koenecke in left field at least when
Sopposed by right pitcher, and
the Cubs will play StHnley Hack at third
base.
Numerous Other Changes
The Phillies' principal addition is
outflelder George Davis, while the
Braves count on Art ShireS at first base
and Fritz Knothe on third. The Pirates
will present an unchanged lineup. al

The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company completed its
case in chief today at the rate
hearing of the Public Utilities
Commission.
H. C. Gertz, general auditor of
the company, was the concluding
witness. He introduced a chart
showing estimated income state
ments for 1882 and the r.
month period ending June 80.
1888, compared with the actual
results of 1881.
The statement revealed that
the net revenue in 1881 amounted
to $2,303,522, or 7.20 per cent of
the average plant in service. 1t
estimated that 1882 revenue
would be $1,918,O00 or SO per cent,
and for the 1888 period $2,104,000,
or 625 per cent.
Mr.. Gertz was croSS-eXamined
by Assistant Corporation Counsel

mission. Indications are that
the hearing, which has been in
progress since June, will be com
pleted by Wednesday.

Harry Davis Says Extra Levy
Will Hurt Federal
ConcesSionaireS

Protesting the proposal to
assess cab companies addi-
tional license taxes for opera
ton on park highways, Harry
c. Davis, president of the
Diamond Taxicab Company; in
a letter to Capt. +. \. CHS
holm. jr., acting director of
Public Buildings and Public
Parks, charged that such
move would be "biting the
hand" of concessionaries under
that office.
The latter pointed out that
during the 1881 fiscal year, The
Park Amusement Co., and the
Welfare and Recreational Asso-
citation, as the result of conces-
sionS for golf courses, Cafeterlas,
motor boat terminals and bus
routes, paid to the building and
parks office $21,504.
Sees Other Evils
The latter states:
"InaSmuch as these two COM
Ianies collected $21,5O4 in the
fiscal year 1881 from approx
mately Al cOnceSSiOnaireS, en-
bOdying an area containing
many acres of Federal proper
ties costing the Government
millions of dollars, we see no
good reason for charging taxi
cabs a fee for taking persons
to these cOnceSSiOnaireS."
The letter further states that
the proposal would aid the tour
list business, which has practi-
cally developed into almost a
racket and a monopoly" Regard.
ing this, Davis writes:
"Taxis Cheaper"
The majority of those who
visit Mt. Vernon in cOnveyanceS
for hire, often purchase their
tickets for such a trip in adj
vance in their home city. Con-
Sequently an added tax on
taxicabS for the use of this
highway might assist such
mOnOpOlies. This tax might
also increase the cab fare to
Mt. Vernon as taxicabs cater
to the few tourists who cannot
usually wait for the scheduled
bus trips and very often four
and five persons can visit
Alexandria, Arlington and Mt.
Vernon in one cab more cheaply
and quicker than by other
means of transportation"
The letter expressed the belief
that proper regulations of taxi

Particular Attention Is Paid

Several Locations

In preparation for the open

September 10, a number of
school buildings are now
undergoing changes and i'm
provemcnts.
Among the major improve
ment projects is the Harrison
School, Thirteenth Street, be-
tween v and w SITS N. W., where
an eight-room wing is now under
construction. This addition to
the building will relieve conges-
ton in the school and also at the
Garrison, a neighbor school at
Twelfth and R Streets. 1t will
also bring about the removal OF
portables.
The plaza around the new
Roosevelt High School, Thir-
teenth and Uphur Streets North
west, is being improved. The
school, which will be occupied for
the first time in September, has
extensive grounds.
Among the most important
ground improvements are those
at the Browne Junior High
School and at the Young Platoon
School, located on large tracts
north of Benning Road at Twen-
ty-fourth Street Northeast.
Badly required street changes
and ground improvements have
been recently completed at the
Langdon School, Twentieth and

Blow School, Nineteenth and Ben
