 SPLENDID GAME
Bills Stage Two-Run Rally in Seventh Frame e to
 Win Hard Fought Tilt

The Elks last night gained a full game in the City League race over the Moose and added half game to it's margin over the Amer ican Legion when it trimmed the former club 4 to 3 in the prettiest game of the season. Manning and Jack Schmitz fought it out on even terms, both pitching alright ball.
 An error gave the Moose three runs in the fifth inning, and a walk and an error in the seventh frame, followed by two singles permitted the Elks to come from behind and score twice to win.
 Not An Earned Run
 None of the Moose runs were of the earned variety. Manning kept their six hits well scattered and, except in the almost fatal fifth, was given perfect support Andrews juggled Jack Schmitzs { grounder to open that frame. Lit tie Mac singled to advance him to second and both of them moved up a notch when Ramsay flied to Tight. Nello stepped into the breach with a home run into the yard back of left center. That was the sum and total of scoring by the Paps but until the seventh it seemed enough to win.
 The Elks scored in the second. Boyd was hit by a pitched ball and scored on Andrews three bagger to left field
 They added another in the last of the fifth to bring the count two to three Eddie Roller caught one of Schmitz's twisters on the nose and gave it a ride to the roof of Germans residence back of center field for the circuit. It was a darb of a hit.
 Only three men faced Schmitz in the sixth. Then came the sev- enth. Boyd drew a pass, his sec ond of the game. Andrews skim med grounder toward second and F. Schmitz, set for double kill ing, missed the ball, Boyd going to second, Junge cracked out a clean single through third and Boyd scored with the tying run.
 Roller hit to third and Living ston tagged out Andrews. Curley threw hastily to first and sailed the ball to the fence. Junge went to third and Roller to second. Jimmy McCloskey ended the game with hot single past short that Twigg missed 10 feet, Junge SCOT ing.
 Three Double Plays
 Three double plays added to the excitement of last nights game two by the Elks and one by the Moose. Killewich opened the third with a single. Ramsay, attempting to sacrifice, bunted a pop fly into hands and the Moose catcher was trapped feet away from first.

Roosevelt to Restate
Sales Tax Opposition

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. % G.N.
SD.-President-elect Roosevelt is
expected to reiterate in confer
ences during the next week with
Democratic Congressional lead
ers, his opposition to a general
manufacturers sales tax.
Mr.. Roosevelt, it is known, al
ready has informed some men,
bers Of his party in Congress of
his objection to that type of tax.
He is scheduled to take up the
matter in few days with
Speaker John N. Garner, who an
nounceG in Washington yesterday
that he favors the sales tax if
necessary to balance the Federal
budget. The Speaker has been
invited to RooSevelt's Hyde Park
home.
The stand taken by the Presi-
dent-elect does not close the door
to approval by him of some form
Of a tax on sales. In fact, the
gasoline tax, which is a sales
levy, was written on the States
statute books during his Admin
Stration. He also recommended
an increase in the State stock
transfer, likewise a levy on sales.
Mr.. Roosevelt iS said to feel a
general manufacturers sales tax
confined the tax burden too
closely to the consumers.

pending his arrival at Palm

guests on a winter cruise today
turned to medicine ball as they
moved slowly southwark.
Mr.. Hoover was reported enjoy
ing the Snail-like cruise, and to
have abandoned any idea of leav-
ing the Sequoia, Commerce De-
partment boat on which he is
travelling, for a train. He and
Supreme Court Justice Harlan F..
Stone, Mark Sullivan, and Sena-
tor Austin, have been seen early
on deck playing medicine ball.
DaytOna Left Behind
The Presidential party passed
Daytona shortly before 10 a. m.
The party was aiming at Mel
bourne, Fla, 80 miles below Day
tona, as an anchorage for the
night, but fishermen hereabouts
said the flotilla would do well if
it made Cocoa, so miles below
Daytona.
Mr.. Hoover hopes to make
Palm Beach Friday night, and
probably will spend the New Year
weekend fishing for sail fish,
and barracuda. He plans to
start back to Washington about
Tuesday.
Bridges Are Handicap
Numerous drawbridges which
span the maze of waterways
through this section of the coun-
try add to the handicap of shall

boats acting as conveys for the

tween st. Augustine and last
