he had made the f1rst nine in two above
par, thought he was in for q good
round and being all popped ups over
his game, thought he could win anyhow.
But Flaherty and Steward, with such
a generous handicap, stepped on the gas
and played the first four holes Of the in
nine so well that Ullman gave up the
ghost at the thirteenth. Where they
had been able to halve only one hole
with Ullman on the first nine, they won
one and halved the other three on the
first leg Of the last nine. And was Bills
face red? He came home in 43 for an
49,, which should be a lesson for those
who think Ullman Is a bargain on the
golf course.

style. One angler informed me he
caught two bass with one minnow.
Capt. Harry Bailey, located at the east
end Of Bsnning Bridge, has a good
supply Of live bait on hand for the early

Stauber Hangs Up World Mark
With 994 Hits in 1000 Clays;
Captures Two National Titles
BY JAMES L. RENICK,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Y YAND ALTO, Ohio, January Ill
A. j. Stauber OF Los Angeles.
" Calf, established new world
record on registered trapshoot-
ing targets for season by win
ming the high average title OF North
America during 1882 with mark OF
.994O on 1000 clays.
This is the official mark released
today at the permanent home of the
Amateur Trapshooting Association. The
association is the governing body OF
registered shooting in the United States,
Canada and the Panama Canal Zone.
Stauber also established another record
by being the first man to win two
national high average titles in one year.
His mark of .9687 won him the doubles
championship.
THIS honor is not new thing to the
i Californian. He won the coveted
title in 1926, 1927 and 1928. His
average of 1912 in 1928 was the former
world record for high average honors.
Stauber missed only six targets in
creating his record run. On July 81
at the Los AngeleS-Santa Monica Gun
Club he broke 1919 out of 200; August
he shattered 80 out of 100, and the fol-
lowing day he repeated. On August 3
he won the State championship with
200 straight; August he smashed 1879
out of 200, and August he broke 1913
out of 200. These were the dates OF
the California State shoot and the
Olympic tournament.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Municipal ownership of public utilities rests upon
the fundamental idea that the people of cities are
able to operate and manage these public services.
1t rests upon the theory that the people of
community alert enough to get rid of utility eXtor-
ton can be trusted to their own affairs.
To place the rate fixing power for publicly owned
utilities in the hands of the utility commission is
a denial of the very foundation of this theory.
The utilities have always fought to keep the
power to fix rates in the state board. They have
always been able to keep these rates high enough
SO that the comparison between public and private
operations would not be too educational to the public
When the measure to provide an easier path to
public ownership, sponsored by the mayors of the
cities was presented to the legislature, the rate
power was left to the cities.
Now for some unexplained reason, it is taken
away from them and put back where the privately
owned utilities want it located, in state board far
removed from the owners of the utilities.
1t is to be hoped that the legislature will be wise
enough to restore the power to the cities.
Provisions that cities may obtain the power to fix
rates by a vote means little. Either cities can be
trusted or can not be trusted to manage their own
affairs If they need guardianship of this sort, they
should not be trusted with ownership at all.
