STUDEbAKERS
DEFEATED BY
GROCERY FIRM

Heavy hitting by the Grocers last
night enabled them to earn a Sd
victory over the Studebakers and to
enter into second place tie with
the Bakers in the league standings
Tor the second half. The Grocers' at
tack was featured by three home
runs, two by Allen and one by Post.
Allen hit his first homer in the
first inning of the game, repeating
in the third with Kretz on the bags
ahead of him. Post got his four
base hit in the fourth frame to
score Briggs who had worked Cham
bers for free ticket to first.
With the score five to nothing
against them in the fifth the Stu
debakers got to Joe Hurst for few
hits and scored four times before
the uprising could be squelched.
They still lacked one tally of tying
things up but were unable to gar
ner this as Joe and his teammates
settled down to the work in hand
and gave the Mechanics a white
washing for the remainder of the
game.
This was the second defeat suf-
fered by the Studebakers, first
round champs, so far this half with
a lone victory to their credit in this
period.

WIMBLEDON, England, July 25
Walter Johnson, the baseballer
Patsy Hendren the cricketeer, and
the man in a tweed suit who called
foot faults in the center court at
Wimbledon a fortnight ago are
highly unacquainted.
This is a shame, for all were
equally controversial in three sep
arate fields OF sports and undoubt-
edly would enjoy the opportunity
of sitting down together and dis
cussipg their positions.
The incidents which made con-
troversial figures of Johnson, Hen
dren and the man in the tweed
suit were almost parallel despite
the fact that they occurred in
such widely different games as
baseball, cricket and tennis.
Mister Jolnson's incident you
probably recall Young Tommy
Bridges, pitching for Detroit, need
cd to retire but one batter for a
no-hit game. Although his team
was trailing by half dozen runs
and seemed hopelessly beaten
johnson yanked the last batter
and put in a pinch hitter, who
hit a single and spoiled Tommys
hope Of entering what is known
as the pitchers hall Of fame.
Johnson was roundly criticised
In some quarters fans contended
that he was something less than
a gentleman, spelling the young
ster's chance for undying fame
Walters reply was that he was
raised in a baseball school that
taught that the game was not
over until the last man was out
And he added that it was not
a genuine no-hit game unless the
pitcher set down all the batters
no matter who they were.
During the first test match
against Australia for THE Ashes,
Albart Chippenfield, baby of the
Australian team, came to bat. After
Imperial Valley press., 1934-07-25

hitting for the better part of the
morning, Chippenfield had raised
his score to SO, one short of the
century that is the goal of every
player making his debut in inter-
national play.
AS England was hoDelessly out
of the running at the time, every
one in the vast crowd was pulling
for the youngster But he didn't
make it. He raised a high ball and
Hendren promptly caught it. The
crowd booed The papers said Hen
dren might we'll have dropped the
ball. Patsy's reply was that he was
playing for England, and England
expected him to play his best.
He also added that if he had
dropped the ball, an easy catch'
young Chippenfield would have mao
an unearned century which in his
humble opinion was not as good
as an earned 80.
The man In the tweed suit mad
his head bludgeoned, so to speak
for calling a foot fault on JACK
Crawford when Jack was but one
point from losing the Wimbledon
title to Fred Perry. Upset by the
decision, Crawford petted his next
serve and the title was lost.
The man in the tweed suit, re-
plying to the criticism that was
showered upon his head, said he
was placed on the baseline to call
foot faults, and a foot fault was
foot fault, whether it came on
the first service or on match
point for the East Yorkshire As
phalt court championship or the
England finals.
And he added that if the officials
didn't like the way he called them,
they could jolly well get some
body else.

SICK LEAVES

Employees of the mail equip
ment shop, who recently have
been transferred from a prac-
tically independent status to
jurisdiction of the purchasing
agents office of the Post office
Department, are endeavoring, as
a result of the shift, to obtain
the same rights to sick leave
that prevail in the post office
force generally.
They never have had sick leave
here etofore and feel that the
change in status should give
them the same position with ref
erence to leave that is enjoyed
by employees similarly placed.
Recently the shop organized a
local of the American Federation
Of Government Employees, and in
the membership campaign now
being conducted by the organiza-
ton in washington this lodge is

GAS RATE CASE
DELAY LOOMS

Possibility that hearings on the
valuation of properties of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light companies, scheduled to be
resumed wednesday, may have to
be postponed again appeared to-
day when the Public Utility Com
mission was informed that Will
ton J. Lambert, local counsel for
the gas companies, is i'll.
Mr.. Lambert today telephoned
Riley E. Elgen, acting chairman
of the P. U. c., that he is con-
fined to his bed with ptomaine
poisoning and may not be able to
attend the hearings at the sched-
uled time.
The gas hearings were sus-
pended two months ago because
the staff of the P. U. C. was en-
gagged in the telephone rate case
in District Supreme Court.
Yesterday notices were sent out
announcing resumption of the
hearings Wednesday.
Mr.. Elgen estimated today that
it will require about three weeks
to complete the hearings, which
are being held for the purpose of
rate-fiXing.

RESCUE SQUADS
UNDER CURB

Activities Of the Fire Depart
ment rescue squads and ambu-
lance service will be curtailed un-
der a regulation issued today by
the District Commissioners.
The new rule forbids the squad
or ambulance to respond to calls
for heart cases, epileptic attacks,
fainting, gastro-intestinal cases,
intoxication, pneumonia, ordinary
heat exhaustion, paralysis, poison
other than by gas, injuries and
childbirth.
Previously the Fire Department
units have responded in many
cases to such calls, but Charles E.
Schrom, chief engineer, recon-
mended limiting the duties of the
units because of the tremendous
increase in calls in recent years.
He declared many of the calls
were unnecessary and that much
work was being done by the Fire
Department which should be per-
formed by hospitals.
Cases in which the Fire Depart
ment may respond under the Or
der include mechanical jobs, re-
lease of entrapped persons or ami
mails, gas cases, drowning cases,
electric shock, heat exhaustion
during parades or public demon
strations, illness of members of the
police and fire department, and
cases deemed by the chief engineer
to be Of an emergency nature and
in which hospital services are not
available.

FAVOR
DISTRICT RULE
BY COUNCIL
5 Members Would Be Elected
To 15-Member Board;
Would End P. U. C.

Formation of a 15-member
council, to be composed of five
members each of the House and
Senate and five residents Of
Washington chosen in popular
elections, to govern the city was
suggested today in letter from
the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association to Representative
Mary T Norton CD of New
Jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee.
The Association would abolish
the House and Senate District
Committees, as we'll as the Public
Utilities Commission.
There would tE one representa-
tive from each section Of the
city and a fifth council member
would be elected at large from
the Northeast and Northwest
sections. These elected council
men, with five members of the
Senate and an equal number Of
Representatives, would be the
Grand Council and Washington'S
local governing body. Problems
first would be considered by the
resident council and then taken
up by the full body.
Under the proposal, the Direc-
tor of the Budget would handle
only Federal funds appropriated
for the Federal Governments
share in maintaining Washington.
Nothing was suggested to take
the place of the Public Utilities
Commission, which the Associa-
tion would have abolished.

UPHOLDS
/. INJURY SUIT

Justice Joseph w. Cox ruled
yesterday in District Supreme
Court that a person injured is not
required under the employees COM
pensation act to file a formal
application for compensation with
the commission. The opinion
holds an informal letter stating
the nature of injuries and expenses
addressed to the compensation
commission is sufficient.
The ruling was made in the
case of Edmund Grondine, former
empIoye Of the U. S. Fireproofing
Co., who was injured while at
work in December, 1882. He re-
ported to the commission and the
employers insurance physician
and was advised the injury was
not serious. He went to Chicago
to work. The injury necessitated
an operation in June, 1888.
Returning here, Mr.. Grondine
retained Ralph A. CuSick as attor-
ney. He wrote an informal let
ter to the commission, stating his
clients injuries, medical expenses,
and other requirements, request
ing a hearing. It was not until
December, 1888, that Mr.. Gron-
dine was asked to fill out a
formal claim and then Deputy
Commissioner Robert j. Hoage
ruled he had no Jurisdiction of
the case since the formal claim
had not been filed within a year.
Justice Cox ruled the informal
letter addressed to the commission
was sufficient to give it jurisdic-
tion and the formal claim was not

KING To PRESS
DISTRICT PWA
FUND PLAN
Conference Brings Promise
of Early Legislation Asked
By Commissioner Allen

Expressing approval of the new
program of the District Commits
sioners proposed to obtain $780,
10000 from the PWA for local
public works projects, Senator
william H. King CD of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, said today he will
make every effort to expedite
passage of the necessary legisla-
ton.
Amendments Planned
Senator King made this state
ment following a conference with
Commissioner George E. Allen
and Corporation Counsel E. Bar
rett Prettyman, who presented q
bill they had drafted to author
ize the District to borrow the
necessary funds from the PWA.
Later Senator King introduced the
bill in the Senate.
AS originally drafted, the pro-
posal would make available
$2,000,000 of the $20,000,00O to
the Park and Planning Commits
sion, but Senator King, in accord
with Commissioner Aliens po-
sition, said he will amend the
measure so as to leave it in the
discretion of the Commissioners
how much of this $2,000,000
would be turned over to the Park
and Planning Commission and in
what amounts.
Preferential Projects
The Senator also said he is
considering amending the bill so
as to make it mandatory that
certain projects be given prefer
ence in carrying out the $20,O0O,-
600 program. He said the Lor-
ton Reformatory project should
be first on the list, the Tuber-
culosis Sanitorium second, and
school construction third.
The Senate District Committee,
Chairman King said, will be
called into session within the
next few days to act upon the
bill.
IckeS in Favor
In the meantime Secretary of
Interior Ickes, the Public Works
Administrator, definitely went on
record as favoring such a meas
ure. He declared he was not
in favor of dropping a park de-
velopment program for the sake
of a PWA program, as would
have been necessary if the pro-
posed amendment to the Capper-
Cramton act had been pushed.
