The new president of the American
Bankers Association. Francis H Sis

banking situation is distinctly more ia
vorable.
Among the principal topics discussed
by the delegates was that of eXpendi-
lures of public funds. 1t was resolved
that such expenditures were excessive
and the association went on record to
demand a reduction. More equitable

seek to guarantee deposits.
Governmental administrative ma
chinery should be overhauled along
practical businesSlike lines to increase
efficiency and reduce costs of govern
mental operations. Gov. Sennett Conner
of Mississippi stated in discussion of
the relation of taxation to the public
welfare.
Property Tax Most Vital.
'It is possible to reduce by legislation
at any time such governmental costs as
may be expressed in terms of control
liable governmental activities" he de-
Clared.
Gov Conner stressed particularly the
fact that in every State and local reVe-
hue system in the United States the
property tax is the most important
single source of governmental revenue,
and in every American State today the
need for reduction in this class OF tax
is recognized.
In his own Stato-MissiSsippi-
sale tax was adopted as an emergency
measure. 1t is On trial, and we make
no extravagant claims for it, he said.
Receipts have thus far exceeded eStl-
mates, and there remains no doubt that
it has met the immediate emergency for
which it was adopted
In a so-called "better-times' resolu-
ton the bankers declared Improvement
in general business is shown by aovanc-
increasing
umes of industrial production and rail-
road traffic and a sharp decrease in
commercial insolvencies."
The Economic Policy Commission eX-
pressed anew its faith in the present

even though it approved some of the
reasons advanced for the latter type OF

CHOCOLATE ON TRIAL
IN FIGHT WITH BERG
Must Score a Knockout to Regain
Standing He Once Held
in Fistic Realm.

NEW YORK, July 14.-There is more
~ than the mere victory at stake for
Kid Chocolate when he faces
Jackie Berg in 15-round match at the
Garden bowl on Monday night. Chocolate
not only must win, but win decisively
in order to hold the respect of the old
timers who have been comparing him
with the mighty ring warriors of the
past.
When this youngster first came here
from Cuba and ran up long string
of knockouts in impressive style, even
though his victims were far from first
raters. he quickly caught the fancy of
the ringworms, the ancient ringworms
to be exact, those who still cherish the
memories of the fighters who followed
days.
1t was Chocolates style, his smooth
ness of action and the business-like way
he went about scoring knockouts. The
greatest colored fighter since Joe Cans
and George Dixon" they said while the
Cuban was battling his way to the top.
Then two years ago he met this same
Berg and encountered his first setback.
Many thought he really won that fight,
but the fact that he did not win by
margin wide enough to eliminate any
argument about the decision made his
supporters bit wary. Perhaps he is
not as great as we thought" they
unused, perhaps he is just a colorful
fighter who looked exceptional against
mediocre opposition"
Since that match he has blown de-
cisions to Tony Canzoneri, Bat Battalino
and Fidel La Barba, so the assertions
that he was to be listed among the ring
immortals have become little more than
a myth. There are, however. many
veterans Of the boxing game who have
not lost faith in him entirely and should
he stop Berg on Monday he once more
will command their respect and again
unrestrained praise of Chocolate will be
in order.

Bugs are bugs again, and every one

Traynor raps single behind second,

to cover the base. They come up in
a cloud of dust. The umpire signals
Waner out.

Lloyd Waner takes a big lead off
second. Vaughan triples to the flagpole,
and Little Poison" scampers home
with the winning run.

with glee, except one woman.

base ball such a wonderful game is the

Though I am the owner OF this

Jurges Is Swift
On the Rebound

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 14.-Youll have
~ to admit that Bill Jurges, flashy
Cub shortstop, is speed
demon.
Speed made him one of the great
est pivot men in base ball.
Speed saved him from death when
a pretty brunette started shooting
in his hotel room.
And now, eight days after suffer-
ing bullet wounds in the right side
and left hand, he's back in uniform
and working out with the Cubs.
Hope to get back in the game in
a day or two at the latest" he
beamed. Feeling fine and am
crazy to play ball again"
He'll have to forget base ball to-
morrow, however, as he has been
ordered to appear in court for the
hearing of the girl who almost
killed him-Miss Violet Valli- on a
charge of assault with intent to kill.
Jurges first refused to appear, but
the court threatened to bring him
in if he persisted in his refusal.
And he'd better show some speed
in getting to this court" warned
Municipal Judge John Sbarboro.

M depression, a switch to other
v v sports, or some other reason,
sandlot base ball interest,
especially in fast independent and
semi-pro ranks, has fallen of, but II
isn't the fault of Hyattsvilles sports
Jack-of all trades, Henry Hiser.
Possessed with possibly the best club
ever to represent Hyattsville, one GER
tainly good enough to entice many a
sandlot manager to hand-pick his op-
ponents in hopes of establishing clear
claim to the District championship at
the end of the season, Hiser has gone
ahead, accepted all challenges, and has
won grand and glorious majority.
The age-old sandlot practice OF beat
ing good club and then promptly put
ting off a return engagement as long
as possible, hasn't been the Hiserlan
practice this season at all. The ALI
Stars scored over the strong Sklnker
Eagles early in the season and prompt
ly accepted the challenge for return
game. Hyattsville again won. Last
Sunday Hyattsville scored by to 4
over the Hcwitzer Giants and next Sun
day again will tackle the Giants at
Riverdale Park at 3 o'clock.
Hyattsville's surprising showing has
