At the close Of the morning

He is convinced his ball club
is nearing the stride he
dreamed for it over the winter
when he was planning for the
current campaign.
7 can attest to the fact he
is not second-guessing himself
in this respect, because back
several weeks ago when the
club was in some of its more
despondent moods, I took occa-
sion to ask him what was
wrong with the team.
"There amt nothing wrong
it just hasn't started clicking"
Then, after that sixth straight

crisp reply.
Which nobody could deny.

of a ball club owner for you.

Then, it either clicks or it
doesn't and whatever happens,
he's got the answer in one of
two succinct phrases.

enough to be higher, in fact they
hope to reach that new height
by the hour they end their five
game series with the Grffmen,

The last time the Tigers ap-
peared here they were on the
down grade. The team, following
an excellent start, hit a Snag
somewhere along its line Of travel
and for a time, appeared so deep
in the depths that a brace was
never going to be taken.
But it came, due to the inspira-
tion Mickey Cochrane, peppery
manager, injected into the team,
as before many weeks passed the
representatives Of "dear old De
troit" were again at the top Of
their game-so much so that first
place was snatched from the New

indeed 1t would have been
nothing short Of a miracle had
racing been lega1ized on the
first attempt in view of the
fact that its twin brother, box
ing, became official here after
about is years Of legislation.
The real cause Of the defeat
In the Senate Of the race meas
ure, was the fact that its pass
age was taken for granted by
too many people who were
actually in favor Of it. Had
this group exerted itself any,
thing like as tenaciously as
did the measures opponents, a
different result might have
been achieved.
Meanwhile a splendid meas
ure is tabled-one which would
have given Washington another
major sport; one which would
have kept tens of thousands of
dollars in circulation in WASH
ington instead of Maryland
and seasonal employment for
scores Of others. Too, racing
would probably net the District
half million dollars in taxes
during the first year in opera
ton.
The irony Of the setback
which racing has just received
lies in the fact that it was dealt
the knockout blow by the Sena-
tor who claims to be one of the
best friends Of the District of
Columbia-Mr. Capper of Kan
SaS.
What a Pal!
His is an odd manner of
registering friendship, particu-
1arly where the masses are con-
cerned. WaShingtionianS mass

The general feeling in Wash.

ing for Washington Is not by
any means a dead issue, but
merely delayed for the time
being-possibly not more than
q few months or until Congress

Architects Institute Urges
Federal Legislation to
Revive Industry.

Action to revive private construc-

urged upon the durable goods indus
tries by the American Institute of
Architects.
Private construction throughout
the United States has not been re-
vived or encouraged by the economic
recovery program, resolution
adopted by the Executive Committee
of the institute declares
THE architectural and engineering
professions have suffered most and
benefited least from the public works
program of the Federal Government" 4"
the resolution says.
The architectural and engineering
professions are in danger of impair
ment and the permanent loss of VAL
liable members.
THE Executive Committee Of the
American Institute of Architects
recommends to the Durable Goods
Industries Committee that its infu-
ence and efforts be exerted to the
end that the Federal Government
through its various public works
agencies shall give more definite
recognition and a greater measure
of employment to private architects
and engineers in connection with all
public works projects.
THE Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Architects
suggests to the Durable Goods In
dustries Committee that it recon-
mend to the President and to the
Congress the enactment Of legislation
which will stimulate the revive private

BALTIMORE, May 5.-Permits were
issued in Baltimore during the last
four months for building operations
totaling $3,47o,776. nearly twice the
valuation for the corresponding

Part of the gain is attributed to
increased building costs, Bureau Of
Buildings oficials said, in making the
figures public, but by far the major
factor has been the extensive activity
under way in the fields Of municipal,
State and Federal construction. Pri-
vate operations, the figures show, still
are tagging far behind public works.

in construction over last had been

BANNER SESSION
SEEN At TORONTO
Building Owners and Man.
ayers to Meet There
June 18 to Fl.

Formal invitations were mailed to-
day to members Of the National As
sociation Of Building Owners and
Managers to attend the twenty
seventh annual convention of that
association in Toronto June 18 to 81.
"All indications point to the largest
convention we have ever held" states
Frank S. Slosson, president of the
association. with approximately
$4,000, 900 900 at stake in invested
capital, the problems to be worked
out in connection with the develop
ments on the proposed code for our
industry persent us with most Sc
rious situation.
THE 1888 full assessed value of
the total office building area Of $780,
00,000 square feet was $5,925, ,000, 900,
which represents an average invest
ment Of $3.50 per square foot. or an
investment of approximately $40 for
each dollar of gross income. In 1929
the income of these buildings was
$807 .000, 900, in 1881 it was $780,
100000, q decline Of 271 per cent.
Operating expenses, not including
taxes. were s34l 500, 900 in 1929 and
$283 900 900 in 1888, a decline of 1872
per cent, or only about thirds as
much as the decline in income. Taxes
paid in 1929 were $l41 100000, while
in 1888 they were $132, $50 900. a de-
cline Of only 6la per cent. In fact,
whereas in 1929 taxes consumed 17k
cents Of each dollar of income, in
1888 they took 22.4 cents of each
dollars income.
"The slump in income represented
by the 1888 figures is not the bottom
that will be reached by this industry.
Income is still decreasing, due partly
to continued failure of tenants and
their constant demands for rent re-
ductions and partly to the demoralized
conditions Of competition in the in
dustry itself.
However, the competition from
new buildings, plus the battle for in
creased occupancy among the older
buildings. has instituted a program
OF modernization, which should have
a most healthy effect on those in
dustries catering to our requirements.
At the rate exhibition space Is being
reserved in the Royal York Hotel,
Toronto, it is expected that over so
manufacturers will be on hand with
the latest in operating methods and
devices which will attract tenants"
