Y. M. c. A. BozCIing Notes

went into a tic with Nelson for high single records with a 147 game.
 A brief resume of the bowling to date seems to feature the excep- tionally high averages for men who last year finished just fair. or the 30 members, Is are averaging over 100. John Nelson sits atop of the average heap with 122 just 10 pins above his nearest competi- tors, Wally Wookey and George O 'Meara, who are running true to form while for the newcomers to the league, George Merkle and Frank Stebbins stand out as the dark horses and each a threat to the favorites.
 One poor evening at this point would drop a mans average sever al points, so we look for a radical change in the average list in the near future.
 At the present writing no one team looks like walk-away. Nell sons Professionals and Divers In- dustrialists have the best balanced teams. The Commercials have two good bowlers in Wally Wookey and George O'Meara but if Hallock and Hitchcock don't click steadily they will have tough sledding.
 Drexler's team though well bal anced on paper seems to be cratic. They take turns failing down" and don't seem to "click" all at once.
 The Business Men have three good bowlers in Captain Geigere, Merkle, and Booth. With Little john averaging around 100 they should do fairly we'll.
 The Sportsmen who occupy the cellar seem to be the weak broth CTS. Beardslee and Drumm are not hitting them as good as former years, Gez is in a slump which may last and may not. Bill Wookey is doing his regular aver age work between 95 and 100 but the team lacks real good bowl CT and unless the Fishermen inn prove very soon they will be so deep in the mire that they will have to be fished out.

Johnny Nelson, the one man bowling team, was the boy who put the skids to the Hunters and Fishers. He flattened out 3S7 pins for himself and with Frankie Stebbins scattering the wood for 345 they had no trouble in dispos- ing of Beardslee's aggregation, which at the present writing ap- pears to be the doormat of the league. This Nelson boy by the way is sporting an average of 122 and it is no accident either. He is hitting them consistently, trying for everything and will give the other top notchers plenty of trouble when it comes to final average. Next Monday, he will lead his team against Wookey's Commercials for a real test. With Pop Halloek, the 72-year old war horse hit ting them for a 10S average, and Wookey and O'Meara for 112, Nel- sons boys will have to be at their best to retain the leadership.
 wally's five. by the way, took over Al Drexler's All Stars by 2 tot score and held onto second place, two games behind the lead CTS. Capt Wookey's 363, George O'Meare's 352, and Pop Hallock's SIS, was the cause of it all. Even with these scores against them, As maulers finished with high CT pinfall than the winners but 1t just so happens that games count in the standing so again the bet ter team had to accept defeat.
 Camille Geigere's Business Men certainly meant business when they operated on Ed Divers crew, for ? to 1 victory. Camille's gang have been slow in rounding. into form but they have evidently began to hit their stride. Booth, Merkle, Geigere and Atwood all hit the ducks for over 300.

TWO MONTHS PAY
TO BE LARGEST CUT
Civil Service Commission Employees
Saved From Added Loss by Re-
lease of $4,000 Funds.

: Civil Service Commission employees
Will lose the maximum of two months
of pay under the economy act, it was
determined today after an executive
order that released $4,000 of commits
sion funds impounded through the nom
filling of vacancies.
This money will lessen the amount
OF administrative furlough that would
have been forced on commission en-
ployes had it not been made available.
Under the present status of commission
funds, the following schedule of admin
istrative furloughS will be necessary:
For those getting $1,740 a year, and
more, 80 days; $1,680, "a days; $500,
Is days; S1,560, days. This Is in ad-
dition, of course, to the 30 days that
must be taken as legislative furlough.
The administrative furlough was not
imposed on any employe getting less
than $1,560 annually, but the legisla-
tive furlough applies to all above 81 900.
Had the $72, 900 not been made avail
able, employees in the upper bracket
would have been forced to take % days
administrative furlough, and this would
have graded down, with lower paid
workers taking proportionate amount.

WH|TEFORD DENIES
HIGH RENT PROFITS.
Counsel for Realty Board Ad-
dresses Rotary Club
Meeting.

Vigorous denial of charges that
rentals in the District are producing
exorbitant profits was voiced by Roger
j. Whiteford. counsel for the Washing
ton Real Estate Board, In an address
yesterday before the Washington Rotary
Club, meeting at the Willard Hotel.
He also denounced the. theory that
the entire amount of the reduction III
the pay of Government employees should
be passed on to those owning local
apartment properties.
Lists Reasons.
Mr.. Whiteford listed reasons given
for rent reductions under three head
ings: Local unemployment, Govern
ment pay cuts and the, alleged "ex-
orbitant" profits of landlords. Unem-
ployment. he contended, is not factor
to be considered in connection with
rents for the reason that most of the
unemployed are not rent payers at all.
To pass the full amount of the Gov
ernment pay cut on to the owners of
rented properties, he argued, would be
to put on the shoulders Of those prop
erty owners the effects of national
rather than a purely local burden.
The survey of rents here, made by
the Real Estate Board covering 1,400
apartment house units, he continued,
showed that on the basis of the as
sessed values, "a per cent of these
units earned return of less than 5
per cent. If the interest on trusts and
mortgages were taken into considera-
ton he added, the owners average re-
turn would be only 23 per cent.
Mr.. Whiteford also emphasized that
1211a per cent of each rental dollar re-
ceived must be paid out for local real
estate taxes.
Voices Objections.
The speaker also voiced objections to
enactment of District laws which
would drive investment capital away
and pleaded for less interference with
local business operations and for the
cessation of radical criticism of local
business groups which is not based on
accurate Interpretation of facts"
Members of the Tenants League,
meeting last night at 212 H street,
elected a committee of Is to study
housing problems in the area between
North Capitol, Fifth, F and K streets,
and voiced demands for reductions in
rents. The league went on record pro-
testing against evictionS of tenants for
non-payment OF rent.
Marx Lewis, attorney, addressed the
meeting, StreSsing the advantage of
mass action in demanding relief from
the current levels Of rents. The league,
according to Robert Shosteck, secre-
tary, is sponsored by the Socialist party

BOYER'S HEARING
TO Be JANUARY 16
Cashier Accused of Embez-
zIing $780, Is Released
on $4,000 Bond.

al-Amtrican National Bank & Trust
Co., charged with embezzlement as a
result of his confession to peculation OF
Sl30,233 in his accounts for stock mar
ket operations, viii be given prelini-
nary hearing before United States Com
missioner Needham c. Turnage Janu-
airy 16.
Date for the hearing was fixed last
night after Boyer had been arraigned
before Turnage and entered plea OF
not guilty to the embezzlement charge.
He was subsequently released on S25,00o
bond.
Covered by Bond.
Boyer surrendered at police head
quarters after he confessed the shortage
to officers of the bank. The amount in
volved, according to John Poole, presi-
dent of the bank. is fully covered by
Boyer's $500 900 bond.
Immediately after revealing the short
age. Boyer went to his home on Glebe
road in Arlington County, Va. and
awaited developments. In the late aft
ernoon, Assistant United States Attor-
ney Milford Schwartz issued warrant
charging embezzlement. Another war
rant was issued by United States Com
missioner Barton Phillips in Alexandria
Boyer in the meantime had arranged
to post bond, and after brief confer
ence with a bondsman and Lucian H.
Vandoren, his attorney, he went to
police headquarters and surrendered.
The arraignment before United States
Commissioner Turnage followed.
Plea Maybe Changed.
Boyer, on the advice of his attorney,
waived the reading of the information
papers, and entered the not guilty plea.
This plea was regarded as formality,
and may be changed, it was said, when
Boyer appears in the District Supreme
Court.
The preliminary hearing before
Turnage on January 16, may be un-
necessary, it was said, since the new
January grand jury now in session, may
return an indictment before that date.
Boyer Is a friend of E. Wade Ball,
former treasurer Of Arlington County,
who is now facing trial on a charge OF
misuse of public funds as a result OF
an alleged shortage Of more than $780,
600 in his accounts, and was one OF
the prominent residents Of Arlington
County who proposed campaign to
raise $4,000 to protect Balls hcme. A
meeting to outline the plans for the
campaign was held in Boyer's home last
Spring. The campaign was postponed
however, because some Of Balls fr1enos
