LEHMAN'S SUPPORT.
SEENbYLA GUARD|A
Mayor Predicts Governor
Will Aid Plea for More of
State Tax Income.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January s.-Mayor
Fiorello H. La Guardia predicted today
that Gov. Herbert H. Lehman would
support the city'S plea for a larger
share Of the States tax revenue.
I'm sure the Governor will recon-
mend that" he said. 1T is in keeping
with the fundamental principles of our
American system of Government with
equitable representation and equitable
ALLEGATION of taxes. I am sure that is
what the Governor has in mind"
Must Have Substitute.
The mayor conferred for an hour and
a half at his home. before going to the
City Hall today. with Aldernanic Presi-
dent Bernard Deutsch and others whose
names he would not reveal. City Hall
observers thought the conference indi-
Gated a determination on the part OF
the mayor to continue his fight fol
financial rule.
Questioned on the fact that there
was a great deal Of talk about pos
saole compromise with the Governor or
the matter, La Guardia said:
ANY time any one disapproves any
thing they must have something tc
take its place-not talk.
The Governors refusal to sanction
legislation which would give La Guards
financial dictatorships until October l
caused the mayor yesterday to accuse
the State executive of injecting the
problem into the field OF politica
maneuvering"
Had Dictator for Decade.
Il am disappointed" the mayor wrote
in his letter to the Governor. that
this problem should have been injected
into the field of political maneuvering
You mast be aware that your letter
is so construed
To the Governors charge that the
economy plan would result in dicta-
torship, Mayor La Guardia asserted
that New York for more than decade
has suffered under "aS cruel and VI
cious political dictatorship as has ever
existed in an American community"
He said he proposed no dictatorship
but sound city government" He saio
that municipal governments are pri-
marily business institutions and that
cities run by city managers with great
er power than proposed by the mayor
of New York have the best credit ir
the United States today
Need to Eliminate Expense.
He asserted he was attempting to put
the city on a cash, pay-as-you-go basis
because administering the city on bor-
roWed money has brought the city or
the verge of financial ruin"
The whole heart Of the matter" ht
said, "is not reopening the budget, but
in eliminating unnecessary expenses.
I'VE cannot effect economies with
platitudes, nor can We balance oul
budget with an essay.
THE primary responsibility in the
conduct of the city finances must rest
on me- That responsibility I assume;
whoever wishes it may have the polit-
ical credit"

A NNAPOLIS, Md, November IL.
~ If there is a foot ball-wild
n student body anywhere in the
United States, it is at the
Naval Academy, whose team crowned
string of half dozen straight vic
tories with a triumph over Notre Dame
in Cleveland Saturday and is prepar-
ing for its contest at the end of this
week with the fierce Panther of Pitt.
An attendance of $4,000, the great
est crowd which ever has been present
at an athletic event in Annapolis,
seems to be assured Extra stands
have been provided, which will bring
the seating capacity of Thompson
Stadium to this figure, 5000 more than
ever before, and there is hardly a
doubt that all will be taken.
Already there have been $4,000 reser-
vations, which is another record for a
Navy game so far in advance. This
includes block of 1900 on the north
stand, opposite the center of the field,
which has been taken by Pitt rooters.
Just across the field the regiment of
midshipmen will be seated.
The Navy team should be in excel
lent shape, Slade Cutter, tackle, and
Bob Dornin, end, being only slightly
injured in the Notre Dame game, and
the general condition of the squad i'm
proving all the time.
The spirit of the squad is excellent.
The great strength of Pitt is recog-
nized, but the team will enter the
game, as it has all this season, believ-
ing it can fight to victory.

Y season is only a few days
old and two teams haven't
been in action yet, but already there
are signs that the lively trading ses-
sions of the Fall have produced a
well-balanced circuit that will offer
some close competition to enliven the
dreary Winter nights.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, follow
ing their custom of the past couple
of years, have hoped right to the
front by winning their first two
games. They took the opener from
Boston, So, Thursday and followed it
by downing the Canadians, 81, Sat-
urday.

st. Louis Eagles, took 81 defeat
from Chicago's Stanley Cup cham

Riotous Horsemanship.

~HE result was, the New York dele
CATION won and Police Com
missioner Lewis J. Valentine
presented it with a trophy. He also
made a brief speech which was lost
in the towering reaches of the arena,
and from the press box sounded like
a few indistinct "oink, oinks.'
Riot squad tactics were carried into
the second event, mounted basket
ball game between the Newark, N. j.,
Blackhawks and the New York
knights.
This sport always is inaugurated by
the lighting of q large bonfire,
wherein the referee burns the Marquis
of Queensbury rules. Thereafter the
higher-type players refrain from
drawing pistols on one another, but
anything else goes, and usually is
done.
Most of the participants lost their
shirts. The favorite hold was the
flying mare. but some preferred the
deadlock or rabbit punch. There
were no fatalities in the first chukker,
which ended to l in favor of the
surviving Blackhawks.
The New Jersey gents, without
Jerseys, also finished on top in the
second chukker and carried a myth
ical championship from the bloody
battlefield.

Wv yITH both teams boasting
M a victory, the golf teams
v v of the Washington Golf
and Country Club and the
Hermitage Country Club of Richmond
will get together next Sunday to
settle the question Of supremacy.
Two weeks ago down at Richmond
the Hermitage outfit handed the
Cherrydale aggregation a licking, but
the Washington clubmen had their
innings yesterday, beating the strong
Hermitage team over the Washington
course by 10 to 8. The meeting place
next Sunday is likely to be the Wash
ington course, but some of the boys
want to play over the Mansfield
Hall course at Fredericksburg, in
neutral territory. Ernest Wiltshire
and James L. Tract, captains OF the
two teams, tipped coin and Wash
ington won the toss, but the match
is scheduled anyway and the place
will be determined soon.
Hermitage sent up its strongest
team, lacking only the presence OF
Billy Howell. Gordon Wood and
Bobby Riegel, the latter the mid
Atlantic champ, were there winning
points, but the Washington team,
strong in the lower half of the pair
ings, managed to win points in the
last foursome and convert an 8-to-7
deficit into a 10-to-8 win. Wiltshire,
who plays a good deal like Miller
Stevinson, led the scoring with a
card of u, getting out in 35, with
eight As on his card. He and
Riegel won 3 points from r. T. Har-
rell and Ralph S. Fowler, with a best
ball of SO.
Other results: Dave Thomson and
John Thacker, Washington, won 3
points from Tom Galloway and Sam
Sutherland, Hermitage; Halcolm
Jones and L. Eubank, Hermitage, won
3 points from James L. Tracy and
j. S. Baldwin, Washington; j. T.
Kirchner and c. H. Doing, jr., Wash

BOB TOW PROMISES
TO GIVE UP BICYCLE

INSTRUCTIONS for Bob Tow to
/ abandon defensive tactics and get
in there and fight" when he op-
poses Buck Everett at the Washington
Auditorium Thursday night today
were forthcoming from Tow'S colorful
and enterprising manager, Beverly
May.
OutSpoken in his belief that Tow's
back pedaling figured nightly in his
fall before Matte Brown recently, May
has ordered his protege to stand up
and fight even if he gets knocked out.
"Bob's a good. tough kid with a
swell punch Beverly insists, land
there's no reason why he should run
away from his opponent.
I'D rather have Everett knock Tow
out than have to chase him all over
the ring. In other words, Bob's prom
ised me to stand up and fight Thurs
day night And either he will make
good on that promise or I'm turning
thumbs down on him"
In hard training and apparently in
fine fettle Tow has flashed aggressive
ness aplenty during recent workouts
with Marty Gallagher, flashing a
booming right hand that should figure
prominently.

suited in a Duquesne win, 1918, and
the following year the Red Birds
again were on the short end Of the
score, 1870. However, the Cardinals
came through to win the third tilt,

GENERAL AVERAGE
SYSTEM FA|REST
Sudden Improvement of Dub
Gives Him an Advantage
Star Can't Fend.
BY w. r. McCOLLUM.

AVE you ever notlced now Sell
- dom low-handicapped play
l / er wins a handicap tourna-
ment? Isn't it the usual
thing for a gent with handicap Of
18 or % or some such figure to come
out on top in the tournaments which
are played with handicaps? 1t is, and
so much so that whenever a scratch
man wins a handicap golf affair or
even comes close to winning, it is al
most a miracle.
The real reason for this situation is
the way handicaps are rated, and the
laxity of most golfers in turning in
handicap cards. Under the constitu-
ton of the District Golf Association
member clubs are required to use the
Calkins system of handicapping, which
takes the average of the five best
scores, and makes it a matter of per-
sonal pride with the player to turn in
cards which may reduce his handicap
or increase it as the case may be. But
the rub comes when players forget to
turn in their score cards. Improve
ment in golf may come rapidly. A
man who scores 80 against a par 20
and thereby merits 20 handicap
under unusual course conditions sud-
denly may get flock of scores down
in the low Dos; enter a handicap COM
petition and shoot an 80, which will
give him a 81 net.

Women's System Excellent.

A S matter of fact there are three
n or four scratch men around
Washington, but it isn't likely
that any one of them, day in and day
out, can play to a scratch rating.
Pit them against a flock Of gents who
sport handicaps as high of 20 and
they haven't a chance to win. Some
fellow with a high handicap is going
to come along and cop the main prize.
Use of the grand average system
would be fairer for every one, rather
than the average of the five best
scores
incidentally the Women's District
Golf Association has highly efficient
handicap system which is followed
right through all its tournaments.
Under the capable direction of Mrs.
J. F. Gross of Indian Spring this
handicap system has reached high ef-
ficiency. At the end of each tourna-
ment Mrs. Gross goes over the scores
and makes changes in handicaps
where they are merited. The scrap on
handicaps will go on probably as long
as a club is used to knock q little
ball into a bigger hole, or until some
mathematical genius finds a way to
make them equitable. Meanwhile the
grand average system seems to us
to be the best.
