Must Be Aimed at George.

"A NY rap at the conduct OF the af-
n fairs of the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress is a direct
poke at Isemann, inasmuch as every
one connected with the game knows
he virtually is the congress.
1t comes as a surprise to Washing
ton boWlerS that the Baltimore lead
ers feel he has fallen down on the
Job. For a quarter century George
Isemann has been looked upon here
as al that could be desired in a
bowling organizer and far more than
reasonably to be expected.
In all the 25 or more years of his
association with the sport as pro-
moter as we'll as performer, this is
the first instance of his enterprise
being in question. On the other hand,
many columns of newspaper space
have been given over to laudationS of
his achievements. He has been point
ed tc countless times as the man
who did more for the game than any
other"
To those who know him well, it is
incredltable that Isemann, represent
ing the "officialdom" of the congress,
would sit back in the comfort of an
Office and permit job to do itself.
Not that go-getter.
If Isemann displayed undue optim-
ism-and it's difficult to have too
much buoyancy in these times-then

Some Counter Criticism.

WOObO De ItsIelLdDIe, lIlueeQ,
because Baltimore would slip be-
low the standards established by
Richmond and later Norfolk, two in
Comparably smaller cities, which
staged National Duckpin Bowling
Congress tournaments when they were
almost virgin duckpin territory. There
are more duckpin shooters in Balti-
more probably than III any other city
in the country. If it doesn't produce
more than so teams in the current
event, even if 1Semann hadn't been
near the place nor written letter to
any team captain there, the Baltimore
management of its end of the busi-
ness certainly has not been perfect.
Newspapers outside of Baltimore
were led to expect mailed information,
if not professionally written pieces
from the bowling establishment which
will stage the event, yet Baltimore
newspapers the other day published
stories about the tournament written
by one of our own gang, Ben McAlWee,
at the request of Isemann. But nary
a paragraph has come this way from
Baltimore.
Whatever may be the total entry in
the tournament, the bowling folk in
washington will take it for granted
that George Isemann upheld his end.
And up and down the coast, from
Maine to Georgia, will be found many
who think the same, not few Of
whom, incidentally. reside in that his
toric old City of Baltimore.

How Now, Baltimore?

WET we recall conversation with
I Washington bowlers who at
tended a meeting at Hartford,
Conn, last year, in which Baltimore
made its plea for this seasons tourna-
ment, a plea in which the Maryland
ers boasted a tournament in their
city would attract 300 teams.
Our Washington informants also
quoted Isenann as having said at the
time: 1T can't be done"
Baltimore, still. according to our
friends who were present at the Hart
ford meeting, promised from its own
rank $50 teams.
teams.
1t has produced so far, paid up or
pledged, about one-third of that
number.
Regardless of Baltimore promises,
Isemann. it is understood, set his goal
at IT'S teams He knew conditions.
He knew how they had changed since
the happy days Of 1928, when Balti-
more was host to the first congress.
He knew that many of the business
houses which produced booster"
teams to swell the entry of 1928 either
had passed out of existence or had
no cash for such an investment. Bal
timore, it seems, largely based its
expectations for precarious 1894 on
the showing of prosperous 1923. in
which, by the way, Washington sup
piled almost as many entries as Bal
timore.
1T seems regrettable," to continue
BrackbilIs comments. that Balti-
more, which amassed the all-time
high of 229 teams in the 1928 inaug-
uralS, now seems in a fair way of
being charged with the Journeys all

N ANSHALL CASSIDY Will
M make his bow as a
wv Maryland steward at the
4 = opening of the Eastern
turf season on Monday, April
2, at Bowie.
The State Racing Commission has
approved his selection, along with the
ether Bowie officials.
Cassidy is well known to Mary
landers as starter, having performed
at Bowie several years ago. He has
started at many tracks in Canada and
has been employed in various capaci-
ties on tracks in the United States
and at Tia Juana and Aqua Caliente
The starting stalls were devised by
him. He was the starter at Charles
Town, w. Va, last December.
He is the son of the late Marshall
Cassidy. His father was a starter and
his brother George now is employed
as starter on New York tracks and at
Hialeah.
George Brown, as usual, will rep
resent the Maryland Racing Commits
sion. He and Cassidy will get together
and name the third steward before
the racing season begins.
The naming of Cassidy is the only
change made in the official turf
family. except that Charles j. Nc
Lehman will succeed his father as
racing secretary, Handicapped and one
of the judges. The elder McLennan
died before the Hialeah meet opened.
The other judges will be John P.
Turner, George T. Miller and J. H.
Anderson.

ton, will be back on the job in the

was the expense to the taxpayer.
Pension benefits to both forces, the
Chamber found, are in line with
those Of other large cities.
Under the proposed law, benefits
would be limited to retired or dis
abled members or their widows and
children, and, if ordinary disability
was provided, no member would be
eligible unless he had had at least
10 years service.
1t was proposed that the maxi
mum tax rate Of 2 cents each 500
cents. And, it was proposed that
funds under the new system be adj
ministered by a board composed of
the Mayor, a member of each force
and a citizen with knowledge of in
surance practices, the latter to be
appointed by the Mayor. The city
controller would be secretary.
The Chamber warned that action
should be taken Immediately to
draw up bills for consideration of
the 1885 General Assembly which
meets Jan. 10, and suggested that
an actuary should be employed for
this purpose.
Other reports the Civic Affairs
Committee will hear deal with the
distribution of the Gross Income
Tax Law receipts; tax exemption of
real property owned by educational,
fraternal, religious and charitable
institutions, and the Strengthening
of tax laws to insure debt payments
on municipal bonds.
The Chamber found in a study of
the distribution of the gross in
come tax receipts that Marion
County was in 1884, and will be in
1885, contributing to the support of
schools in other counties more than
seven times as much as it was in

PRESIDENT BACK
AT DESK; BONUS
FIGHT Renewed
Roosevelt Still Opposed to
Payment; Studies Re-
lief Bills.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt returned to the ma
tons capital today prepared to
initiate his 1885 recovery offensive
and to face a growing demand for
immediate payment of the soldier
bonus.
A comprehensive legislative pro-
gram that requires few finishing
touches before presentation to Con-
gresS was worked out during a IT.
day stay at the Little White House
in Warm Springs. Ga. 1t calls Tor
generous relief for the needy, meas
ures to insure permanency for GER
tain NRA features, housing and a
dozen lesser programs.
The President came back from his
work and play vacation, however,
to find Administration advisers pri-
vately admitting serious concern
over growing and insistent de-
mands for immediate cash payment
of bonus certificates. He believes
payment at this time is uncalled
for; that the veteran is better off
than the majority of citizens, and
that the first duty of the country
is to care for those suffering as the
result of several years of depres-
sion.
Despite the known opposition of
the President, a substantial bonus
bloc in the House was expected to
force passage of bill providing i'm
mediate payment. Administration
leaders were hopeful that the Sem
ate would muster sufficient votes to
block it.
Chief interest centered on the re-
lief features of the legislative pro-
gram. There was no doubt that
Mr.. Roosevelt would recommend
certain policy changes as regards re-
lief methods, including the amount
TO be spent.
1t was felt that he would urge
the utmost speed in promotion of a
low cost housing and slum clear
ance project to provide work relief
to replace what now virtually
amounts to a dole. Such a step, ne
believes, also would aid heavy in
dustry and stimulate buying power
