Has Ring Background

Oddly enough King is particu-
larly well qualified to call 'em
as he sees 'em in view of a
background of ring contacts
stretching over the better part
Of the last two decades.
If we are not mistaken he
was the matchmaker at the old
Ardmore Athletic Club in Prince
Georges county where some of
the best fighters of the Atlantic
seaboard have shown in days
gone by.
He has handled fighters all of
his adult life and the greatest
tribute that can be paid to
him is found in the fact that
public and promoters in the past
have been quite satisfied to
have him remain in the judges
saddle, even when some of the
boys in whom he held an in
terest, were principals.
That is expressing real conf
dence in any man, particularly
in a sport which has it's suspi-
Cious natured individuals and
which is ever on the alert for
an alibi.
We hope George King will re-
consider and in the future be
found in his accustomed chair
at the ringSide.

he showed signs of becoming just
that, for he punched Jack Den

NEARS FOR
ROCKIES
Special to The Washington Times

Special to The Washington Times
ATLANTA, April To-day is
April Fools Day and the rockies
with the Griffmen are shaking in
their shoes for fear that some
thing will happen to them before
this Southern trip is ended.
For tome orrow, folks, these
rockies reach Chattanooga with
the remainder of Manager Gro
nin's roster of merry men, and
tomorrow possibly holds their re-
spective fateS as big leaguers for
the good old season of 1888.
There's every reason to believe
that one or two of the crop will
be left off at Chattanooga by the
time the Griffmen leave that fair
city for Knoxville.
Just who it will be nobody
not even Manager Joe Cronin-
will say at present, but some
body will be handed ever to Joe
Engel and the Lookou5S in due
order and time.
Your Uncle Clark Griffith has
been in Chattanooga for the past
three days. He left the Griffs
in Birmingham for the exact
purpose to visit Joe Engel, of
the Lookouts, and discuss pros
poets for the coming season.
Wants Cream
Engel, of course, will want the
cream of Manager Cronin'S
rookie crop this spring and this
means such youngsters as Eddie
Linke, Bud Thomas and Cecil
Travis.
The only man Engel will prob
ably get is Travis, as Prexy Griff
will want to leave the kid in the
minors if Manager Joe Cronin
hasn't decided to carry him with
the Griffs during the important
campaign ahead.
It is hard to believe how Engel
will Wean the other two away
from Griff, as both have turned
in about as good work as any
pair of rockies ever given trials
at training camp by the Griff-
men in past seasons.
Still, Prexy Griff may figure
that year or so in the minors
for either or both might be. their

may leave one or the other or
both with the Lookouts this sea-

J. Henry I1iser, who during his
glittering duckpin career has

unrealized ambitions "a sweep

Tonight he trots unto the Ross

break the jinX that has been pur'

Henry has boWled in every one

ish in the money, and that was
the first time, when he pocketed
the third award. He has fired
away at the head-pin in all three
U. S. sweepstakes and both Dixies
and all he got was the exercise

What is even more disagreeable
is the fact that in the Maryland

he hasn't even been close in

COUNTRY CLUB
BEER BILL IS
PROPOSED

The prospect of beer being
dispensed at the golf clubs in
nearby Montgomery county took
on brighter hue when the
Country Club Bill" was intro
duced in the Maryland legislature
by County Leader E. Brooke Lee.
This bill would permit any
election district in Montgomery
county next year to vote itself
out from under the Statewide
beer act, providing special elec-
tions on the petitions of 20 per
cent of the voters of district
any time between January and
May /, next year.
However, any antibeer ordi-
nances that might arise from
these special elections in any dis
trict, cannot "in any way infringe,
impugn or discontinue any license
issued under the terms" of the
Statewide beer bill to any bona
fide countr. club located in the
county at this time which has
a nine-hole golf course, two ten
mis- courts and a swimming pool
or any two of these recreational
facilities and where at least SO
per cent of the membership are
non-residents of the county.
Protects Golf Clubs
Under the measures provisions,
voters in Chevy Chase and Be-
thesda might put the lid tight on
the malt<d brew, but golf clubs in
that section would be permitted to
dispense beer.
The amendment to the District
beer bill which prohibits beer
flowing on Federal property here
was a blow to golfers who play
the municipal links. Rock Greek
Park, East Potomac, West Po-
tomac, and FairlaWn will have to
offer the customary soft drinks"
to those who crave the tasty brew
to slake a parched thirst on hot
July afternoon.

In short. Manager Joe has de-
cided to give Bob a three-inning
assignment today, his pitching
plans thereby being changed
somewhat over plans handed out
prior to yesterdays game, calling
for Monte Weaver and Eddie
Linke to work.
Weaver will work as per sched.
ule, but Burke will take Linke's
place in the pitching box after
Monte has Travelled through the
first six innings. And upon his
showing will hinge his chances
of sticking in the big leagues this
season.
Bob declares that he'll make
good in his test as he feels fit
and ready, and backs this up by
saying his arm is much stronger
because of all the rest he'd had
while having those bad teeth OF
his jerked out.
Eyes Upon Him
Needless to say every eye will
be on his work, once he steps to
the mound and delivers his first
pitch plateward.
Manager Cronin'S newest bat
ting order socked out eight hits
yesterday but only tie ball game
could be gained as the Crackers
jumped on Earl Whitehill in the
sixth inning to deadlock the
count at 4 to 4 just as the clouds
opened and the rain fell in big
drops.
However, Cronin was satisfied
and said late last night that he
thought he'd keep the arrange
ment in effect for a while yet to
completely decide whether it will
give the best balanced attack or
not.
Cronin had Cecil Travis on
third base yesterday, but mostly
because fans from the lads home
town were in attendance. Ossie
Bluege was expected to be back
on the job today.
Cecil performed in great fash
ion for his home folks, handling
three chances in the field flaw

and long fly which drove across

WHO PAYS THE TAX?

Every time something happens like
the government taking over the de-
velopment of Muscle Shoals there is
cry going Up against government in
private business. 1t is argued that
government must refrain from COM
petition with private business and
capital if the latter is to be encOur-
aged and to continue paying taxes.
Driven out private capital will pay
no tax.
Those who are afraid of their own
hide should be reminded that there
is wide difference between public
ownership of public utilities and pub
lie ownership of everything. That
which is collectively used might as
well be collectively owned.
Regulation of privately owned pub
lie utilities cannot be said to be a
success. In many cases those who
should do the regulating are being
regulated.
Some public utilities pay approx
mately 10 per cent of their gross in
come in taxes, some little more, and
many less. If you now pay $40 for a
service from a public utility corpora
ton that you could buy for S. under
public ownership, you could well af-
ford to pay their 10 per cent tax,
which in reality is your tax or the
tax of all their customers.
The taxes paid by public utility
corporations is no more than they
collect from consumers and far less
No use of trying to make statesmen
and philanthropists out of them for
paying good sized taxes, for little
figuring will soon reveal where they
get the long green's with which to
settle the tax bill.

FARLEY AND REPEAL
(St. Paul Pioneer Press)

The administration vigorous par
ticipation in the repeal campaign in
the South, marked by Postmaster
General Farley's forceful demand
upon Governor Lafoon of Kentucky
for repeal convention in that state
this year, will undoubtedly throw a
strong weight in the balance for rati-
fication by the doubtful states.
Despite Mr.. Farley's ably expressed
reasons for the administrations en-
phatic stand there will be in many
quarters criticism of this interference
in the state elections. The substan-
tial reasons for this effort which he
advances, that enforcement is impos-
sible, that revenue is needed, that
temperance will be promoted, will
not answer some directors to the pre-
cedent of national Intervention in
state referendums.
If the administration aggressive
action on behalf of repeal, in the
states, constitutes a precedent, how

WHAT WILL WE PAY 1T WITH!
(Thief River Falls FOrum)

There is a tax of about seventy
some cents going on flour now in
order to provide funds to pay the
wheat farmers a premium for cutting
down acreage. This should help the
farmer to get on his feet. That's
gratifying.
But as yet there has been no pro-
visions made to provide the cOnsum-
ers with the extra seventy cents to
pay it with. That's not so gratifying.
If the administration believes that
the American people can lift them
selves out of a depression by their
bootstraps it will have made the same
mistake as the Hoover regime did.
Hoover made the mistake of think
ing that the postal receipts could be
increased by raising the postal rate
to three cents, only to find that people
did less mailing. Unless the unem-
ployed are put back to work and
wages of those that are working is
raised back to living standard, we
will find that there will be so much
less flour sold that there will be no
funds with which to pay the farmers.
The allotment plan is a good plan,
only if, and when, the consumers
have a greater purchasing power.
Until then it will be just another
crazy patch on a crazy system.
