Taft Bridge Street Car Line
Is Turned Do,on by Officials
Public Utilities and District Commits.
sioners Say Structure You'd Haze
to Be Rebuilt to Lay Tracks.

The notice was sent to John H.
Hanna. president of the Transit Co..
by Mai. John c. Gotwals, as chair
man Of the joint board.
As soon as the proposal was made
some days ago, protests were raised
against overhead trolley lines on
Taft Bridge when the new Calvert
Street Bridge is to be designed for
street car traffic with an underground
system. It also was protested that
to place street cars on Taft Bridge
would create a trafic "bottleneck." +"
The argument OF the company was
that the change would save six min
utes of time and q mile of travel.

.D.C.FUND INCLUDED.
IN DEFICIENCY BILL
Senators Move to Provide
Money for Utilities and
Liquor Boards.

A last-minute move to save the
Public Utilities Commission and the
District Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board from having to go through the
next fiscal year with reduced person.
mel was made late yesterday when the
Senate Appropriations Committee
placed additional funds for these two
agencies in the final deficiency supply
bill.
The Senate amendments allow the
Utilities Commission $36,823 and the
Alcoholic Control Board $l8, 400. These
are the amounts the House cut from
the budget estimates in the regular
District appropriation bill. The SEN
ate voted to restore both items, but in
conference the House succeeded in
having them cut out again.
After the District supply bill became
a law. the Utilities Commission an
nounced the slash made in its appro-
priation would necessitate dropping IA
members of its staff and members Of
Congress opposed to the reduction fear
the reduction would cripple the COM
mission regulatory work.
Liquor Board inspectors.
The $18,400 for the Liquor Board Is
to cover the salaries of eight inspec-
tors, deemed necessary by the board
to insure proper inspection of licensed
places. No dificulty Is expected in
having these amendments agreed to
in the Senate, but their fate will be
determined when the bill gets to con-
ference.
When it became known last week
that Senator Thomas, Democrat, Of
Oklahoma, in charge Of District ap-
preparations, would try to have the
utilities cut restored in the deficiency
bill, members of the House are under
stood to have objected that such a
course would upset the agreement
House and Senate conferees had
reached on the District supply bill,
and Senator Thomas decided he would
not press the matter.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, however, decided to insert the
funds needed for the commission.
The deficiency bill is in charge of
Senator ADAMS, democrat, OF Nolo-
rado.
Measure Amended.
The Senate Committee also amend
ed the bill to provide for civil service
appointments of the force to be taken
on by the general accounting office
to audit the expenditures Of the
emergency Federal agencies. The
House bill allowed these appoint
ments to be made without regard to
civil service. E. Claude Babcock of
the American Federation Of Govern
ment Employees opposed the House
provision.
The bill as reported carries a total
of 1883 3,375,477, including the addi-
ton of $3.50, ,000, 900 to the House bill
for drought relief The administration
asked for $525, 100000 for this pur-
pose.

FOOTBALL
BY SID KATZNELL

William bill" Morrisette, track
and football star, will matriculate
at the University Of Virginia this
fall. He was graduated from Tech
High School last month with high
honors in both athletics and
studies. He plans to take up law.
Morrisette will have q grand op-
portunity to display his talents at
Virginia. The historic university is
known throughout the south for
its track teams, and although the
football team did not fare so well
last season, Virginia usually pro-
duces first rate aggregations.
Weighs 100 Pounds
Weighing roximately 100
pounds and scaling over six feet,
Morrisette has a wonderful build
for a football player. He held down
a line position on Techs eleven
last season, and aided his team in
both on the offense and defense.
However, track is the sport
where he really has made a name
for himself.
He broke the shotput record in
the interhigh track and field
meet May 81 at Central Stadium,
tossing it 40 feet 31a inches and
SCATTERING the old record, held by
John Mcdonald, Of Tech, by l
foot 2 inches. Mcdonald estab-
liShed his mark in 1926.
. Lauded by Hardell
"Hap" Hardell, genial football
and track coach at Tech High, be-
lieveS Morrisette will go q long
way in college sports. He says:
.''BilI is q hard worker and =
fine athlete. expect him to
shine nm VirRinia'S track team"

end, the catches were good and
the weakfish or sea trout are Bit
ing fine. The big trout are not
in yet, but several were caught
weighing 21a pounds. Capt. T.
E. Jones at Seaside, Chesapeake
Beach, reports excellent catches Of
hardheads this week, In fact the
catches were so large we hesitate
to mention the number, as we
feel they were in part wasted
and this is a poor way to show
craftsmanship. If such catches
were given to the needy all would
be forgiven, but this is not gen.

Ocean City B0Oms
Salt water fishing at Ocean
City, Md, is booming and blue
fish are being taken daily in large
numbers. Surf fishing is now good
and the thrill of the unknown"
is turning out large numbers OF
fishermen who love the call Of the
surf, the song Of the reel, and
the surge of big fish.
Bass fishing in the Potomac and
tributaries is only fair. Although
the river is clear, the weather has
been too hot. George H. Llewellyn
caught seven small'mouth at Great
Falls, Saturday afternoon on a
fly and spinner. A. Bluestein
caught a nice small-mouth, and a
nice big channel-cat at SWANS
lock Saturday. GunSton Cove was
q total loss this weekend, the
water was almost boiling. it was
so hot.
We would like to call to the at
tention of local anglers a boat
man at Gunston Cove, who does
not seine bass and then expect
anglers to hire his boats, as IN
the case of most of the boatmen
there. George F. Triebler is the
man, and we are proud to say
that he observes the law and does
not need any local pudges to save
his hide when caught breaking
the law. It is a pity that these
boatmen can't wake up and real
ize they are killing the goose
that laid the golden egg. This
man is a true conversationalist
and we know that you will get
a square" deal from him.
Picnic Big Success
The basket picnic of the Wash
ington, D. c., Chapter Of the
Izaak Walton League, held Sum-
day at Davis Beach, Va, was a
big success and attended by a
large crowd. During the after
noon the regular annual "open

attended had a wonderful time
and escaped the torrid heat Of
the city.
A big run Of tuna is in at

Jacks Enthusiasm
One Of my employers think I
have not been enthusiastic
enough over that good race
horse, Cavalcade. Probably that's
true.
I also note where various COM
mentatorS are going back to
Man O. War to find horse to
compete with Mrs. Sloane'S
brown British route runner. But
I can't but feel that they are
stretching their memories un-
duly. We have had more than
one horse in this country since
Man o. War that would give
Cavalcade a brush for his white
alley.
Forget, If it pleases you. Reign
Count, Sun Beau, Diavolo, Gal
liant Fox and others. What Of
Twenty Grand?
Would Cavalcade have rolled
by that big Red Comet in the
stretch? You know he wouldn't.
If you don't, I do. It might
have been q horse race, but it is
my considered opinion that
Twenty Grand would have been
in front Of him at the finish,
and in front of him going any
distance horses are asked to 60.
Won Just as Easily
Mrs. Whitney's colt won his
Derby Just as easily as Mrs.
Sloane's won his. If there was
any difference in the track it
was deader for Twenty Grand.
They carried the same weight,
at the same time of the year,
and the big son of St. Germans
won swinging on the bit in faster
time.
It is no fault Of Cavalcade's
or his stables, of course, but I'll
like the present three-year-old
champion better when he starts
beating something besides Dis
covery.
AS Singing SAM" who lets
'em widen out up the hill at EN-
pire, says: Cavalcade can always
beat Discovery. But let us try
and find something else for him
to beat before we start coupling
him in the betting with Man
o'War, at least let us wait until
Peace Chance gets q shot at him
in Saratoga.
Admires Cavalcade
Mind you, however, like
Cavalcade and admire him for
what he already has proved
himself-an honest, stretch rum
ming colt. There is no question
but what he blisters that home
lane when Garner sits down on
him. That's when they pass
Discovery.
Why?
With things going as smooth
~ as they have been going
wouldn't it be a first rate idea
for Madison Square Garden to
go along with the officials it
has? It is my understanding
that the new policy will be only
two fights a month during the
winter. The summer season
soon will be over. I like Demp-
Sey, but what are they going to
want him to do for that big sal
ary? He's scarcely a hockey
executive. Besides, the garden
already has one Of the keenest
sports executives in tn country
in its hockey department, q
chap named Lester Patrick.

J. d. Dickson Is In
He Wants Camera IF
We Don't Want Him
By BILL CORUM

NEW YORK, July 18.-It
looks as though this column
may have been hasty in count
ing Primo Camera out Of the
big time pugilistic picture. On
the same day in which we gave
Primo a gratuitous burial as a
leading boxer in print a gen.
tleman stepped off the boat
from Europe in search OF his
services.
The gentleman who stepped
off the boat was Jefferson
Davis Dickson, Europe's leading
promoter and the first man to
match Camera for an impor-
tant match. Dickson has an
odd and interesting history. He
went to France as an Ameri-
can soldier during the war, took
one look at Paris, said to him.
self, How long has this been
going on?" and has been there
ever since.
I'm told there are still a good
many American soldiers scat
tered here and there about
Paris. But whereas the ma
jority Of them are reduced to
selling smutty postcards or pan
handling for an existence, Mr..
Jefferson Davis Dickson has
been doing all right. From all,
available reports he has been
the most successful sports pro-
moter since Tex Rickard, with
whom he is inevitably COM
pared.
How much or how little
George Lewis (R0 and Jeffer-
son Davis CD had in common
I don't really know. But like
Tex, Dickson caters to the
mice people," and the Prince
Of Wales is generally to be
found among the fashionables
at his more important boxing
shows.
Like Richard, also, the Rick
ard Of Europe has a yen for
the strange and unusual.
Likes EN- Outsized
He likes foreign writer's and
those that come in the out
sizes. That's why he is here
after Camera again. Primo is
one Of his favorites. The feel
ing is mutual.
"That Dickson" rOars Primo,
che has me fighting q man
with three arms in Paris, no!
no! hO!"
The former champions gate
value in London would also be
enhanced by the fact that sew
eral Of the English papers, in
their leisurely and fascinating
way, wound up a week or 10
days after the fight voting the
Baer battle to him. Which re-
minds me that of all the COM
mentS on the fight, was most
pleased with that Of Miss
Emma Observation-Disclosures, the
romantic London waitress, who
sued and won from Primo for
breach Of promise.
According to the cables, Miss
Emma waited up until 3 a. m.
reading a report on the fight
on a ticker, and as the fatal
word that her former sweetie
had been knocked out filtered
over the wire she is said to
have raised her voice in mild
hysteria and screamed: "Baer
fouled him!"
Which proves, I am con-
vinced, that love is stronger
than the mightiest cable, and

You will notice that when
Baer did circle, when he did keep
on the move, when he did get
down low, very low and come
up underneath Camera, he
finally got in the blows that
stopped the fight.
