such as completion of the Rock Creek
Potomac connecting parkway.
This historical background causes
local taxpayers to fear the conse-
quences of accumulated surpluses,
aside from the fact that there Is no
logic in letting tax collections run
ahead of appropriations. AS the Dis
trict estimates for next year were sub
mitted by the Budget Bureau last jan
uary, there would have been a surplus
of approximately $3,0O0,0 900 in District
revenues on the basis of a continual
ton Of the present tax rate, due to
the elimination of needed items from.
the Commissioners estimates There
does not appear to be much danger
that the present Congress will allow
this potential surplus to accrue. The
House Appropriations Committee pro-
posed to avoid it, not by restoring
projects left out by the Budget Bureau,
but by ordering cut in the tax rate
from $3.50 to $1.20, to absorb the an
ticipated excess of revenues over ex-
penditures. There was sentiment in the
Senate. and also in the membership
of the House, to avoid it by the other
alternative of leaving the tax rate
where 1t is and providing for a num-
Der OF essential needs. Either step
would be preferable to accommodating
another surplus that might further
complicate fiscal relations between the
Federal and District governments next
year or the year after. The House. at
the instance Of the Appropriations
Committee, settled the matter tenn
porarily by rejecting both alternative
proposals, and cutting down the lump
sum contribution Of the National
Government. The Senate and the
Conference Committee are still to act.
Direct Estimates Asked.
Another suggestion frequently heard
on Capitol Hill is that the District be
freed from control of the Federal
Budget Bureau by allowing the Com
missioners to submit their annual es-
Inmates direct to Congress.
Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas made a strong plea recently
for separation of District estimates
from the Federal budget, contending
that District officials are in a better
position to determine the relative
merits of the various items requested
annually by department heads. SEN
ator Capper, chairman of the Senate
District Committee preceding Senator
King, continues as ranking Republican
on that committee to show an active
and helpful interest in District legis-
lation. Under the able leadership Of
Chairman King and Chairman Norton
the District Committee of Senate and
House are cooperating vigorously to
| enact wholesome District legislation.
If Congress were following the def
mite percentage plan Of apportioning
District expenses, which was made
substantive law on a 60-40 basis in
1922 and never repealed, there would
be every justification for Federal
Budget Bureau inspection of local
estimates, because the United States

Jimmy McLarnin Made Matinee Idol ByNew York Fans

New York, Sept 13.-It remained for Jimmy McLarnin to bring back the matinee idol as popular in stitution to boxing!
 The fighting Irishman's re- markable personal appeal was apt. ly demonstrated when he resumed training at the Pioneer gymnasium for his postponed return 15-round worlds title fight with Barney Ross at the Garden Bowl Satur- day.
 Long before the scheduled hour for his workout, crowds waited III the street for McLarnin to make his appearance. The fans cheered as they followed him through the doors. Extra police was neces- sary to keep the more enthusiastic from mobbing Jimmy and for hours after he was through box ing, hundreds lined the sidewalk for glimpse of the smiling pugi- list.
 The late Jim Corbett was the last of ringdom's matinee idols. Incidentally, McLarnin was a great favorite of the Corbetts.
 It's a Gift
 Few athletes possess that rare personal charm which sets them apart from their fellows a suit able material for the true matinee idol. In many instances, superior ability brings with it anything bat desired popularity.
 One of the most popular among matinee idols to bob up in the Me- tropolis, was George Leander, dag z,ing six day bike rider of some 25 years back. Tall, dignified, with a mop of wavy jet-black hair, Leander was the Clark Gable of the Old Gardens wooden saucer. On more than one occasion women tore off their jewelry and tossed it at his feet as he pedaled madly past them.
 Track Star
 The sport of kings had its ma tinee idol in Tod Sloan, natty dresser and in his day great jockey. Dapper Tod was wor- shipped by race track followers.
 The cinder path of about 2? summers back produced matinee idol in Ted Meredith, handsome former half-mile record holder Meredith, who had way with him, was followed by crowds whenever he made his appearance on the streets.
 The diamond had its matinee idol in Larry Doyle, keystone sacker, of the late John McGraw's champion Giants. There were oth- CTS, for the national pastime al- ways was an outstanding sport.
 In Ted Coy, most brilliant Yale fullback and Tom Shevlin, star end, Yale gridiron of a few decades ago produced pair of handsome matinee idols.
 Tn passing, 1t is we'll to point out that the matinee idols of sport always showed their worth at the turnstiles. A correct indication that banner crowd will sit in at Saturdays worlds championship pugilistic party!

 HEAD BUYS BACK HIS SON

Houston, Tex (UP)-Fred An kenman, skipper of the Houston Buffaloes of the Texas League, re- gently paid $2.50O to acquire the services of his own son, Pat, 21, from the Greensboro Club of the Piedmont League, when he could have got him for nothing six months before.
 When Pat finished his eligibility with the University of Texas team, he wanted a job as shortstop on some baseball team. He got the job with the St Louis Cardinals who sent him to Greensboro. N A few days ago Fred Ankenman announced that his son cost him good outiielder besides the cash.

ALLISON MADE A
 STRONG BID FOR
 AMERICAN TITLE
Fred Perry of England Won Again But Had to
 Play Five Sets

Forest Hills. N. .Y.. Sept. 13.- (UP).-Fred Perry, smiling young Englishman, who can beat any other amateur tennis player in the world, held the three major tennis championships today - American, English and Australian.
 But the tennis followers who fiocked to the West Side Stadium courts were not talking so much of the perfect shot-making of the young Englishman. They were recalling the supreme, bid of 30 year-old Texan, Wilmer Allison, who had never been figured as possible finalist- until week or So before the tourney, and who fought his way to within two games of victory yesterday afternoon.
 The tall Taxan, veteran of ten years of top-fight tennis wars, who has figured more often in double than in singles play, stormed his way to the gates of the American title after trailing two sets to love, only to find he had shot his bolt against the tireless young Englishman. Pery won, GA. 6-3, 3-6, 1-6, 8-6.

Not only did the Giants win, but they had the pleasure of knowing that St Louis lost. The net result is that the Giants, now out IT, front by five and half games, will beam with warm -healtted af- lection upon straw boss Frankie Frisch and his card hands when they move into the Polo Grounds this afternoon to start four-game series.
 O. K. Now
 A couple of days ago the Giants were looking with serious misgiv- ings upon this series with the St Louis. They had dropped three in row. and the Cards had won five straight. The Giants couldn't even think of the coming series without choking up. Now, with only four teen games to go. New York can drop three out of four to the Cards and still send them away three and a half in the ruck.
 With a four-game series yit. Cincinnati coming immediately af- terward. New York hopes to have the pennant settled by the middle of next week. They play only six games after the Redlegs two at Boston. two with the Phillies at home and two with the Dodgers, also at home.
 Carl Hubbell did one-man job on the Pirates yesterday. He chucked ~six-hit game and drove in the winning run in the seventh. scoring Blondy Ryan, Previously Ha i4t cip two. New York won, 32.
 Old Dazzy Vance was well on the way to becoming a hero in two acts in the game against Philadei- phia. when Ethan Allen stepped up to the tee and knocked the dazzler spraddle-legged. Vance had poled a homer and shut out the Phillies for seven heats. giving St Louis a one-run lead going into the eighth. But Aliens single with the bases loaded brought the Phils from be- hind to 3-1 win.
 Won by Warneke
 Lon Warneke kept the Cubs 1T. winning stride, beating Boston 5-2. Chicago remained seven games behind the Giants.
 Brooklyn won in a walk from Cincinnati. scoring the odd run in an S-7 victory, when Sam Leslie was passed in the tenth, forcing Ralph Boyle home with the will ming run.
