Bound to Gain Heights.

HELEN DETTWE1LER is due some
day to become the best feminine
golfer ever turned out in Washington
1t may not come this year, or even
next year, but it will come. No
woman with the concentration of pur-
pose, the will to play we'll, and the
sheer power that Helen has can long
be denied.
She won the Maryland State cham
pionship last year in impressive fash
ion, but she had a good week of golf
In winning. This year the young
woman who last June graduated from
college didn't 60 far in defense of her
title and was eliminated in the first
round of the District championship
by Mrs. Roland Mackenzie. But she
won't be beaten many more times by
any woman around Washington if she
keeps on hitting the ball as she has
been hitting it lately.
Helen knows the cure for her one
big fault She knows that hitting
from the top of the swing doesn't go
IN golf and that her troubles of the
past have come from this. Her main
effort in practice has been to weed out
that bad habit, which is in fact the
only unsound part of an otherwise
strong golf game.
When Joyce Wethered, queen of
world woman golfers, appeared at Co.
lumbia last month, Helen was right up
there in the front row watching the
effortless and smooth swing of the tall
British girl. "She swings so smoothly"
Helen said of Miss Wethered's game.
And yet she gets lot of power into
the ball. That is what I must do"
And she is doing just that.

YUST ab we were beginning to
wonder what had happened to
the Districts only national
~ ranking netman, we stumbled
across dispatch informing us he now
is striving to justify his selection as
the country's no. % player in the
town of Brookline, Mass.
OF course, we are referring to Gill
bert Hunt, the boy who has played
less around this city but done more
to focus a bit of the national tennis
spotlight on his home town than prob
ably any local player in recent years.
Gil hasn't played in local tourney
since he graduated from the junior
class, and that includes since the time
they reckoned that there were only %
better players in the country.
There seem to be two reasons why
Washington sees so little of young
Hunt Primarily, the former M. I. T.
graduate wants to, and is able, to
travel around from major tournaments
to feature events. Consequently, the
more famed opponents he stacks up
against in addition to the various
critics who watch him play do their
part when it comes time for the Selec-
ton of the lands best.
But one who knows Washington'S
consistent delegate to the big time"
attributes another reason for Hunts
persistent absence from local tourna-
ments. In fact, there seem to be two
reasons.
Our informant says first that Gil
realizes there is nothing to be gained,
nationally. by participating in Wash
ington's biggest tennis events, but sec
ondly, this boy, who is much younger
than Washington's net greats" is OBJ
sesSed with an inferiority complex
when he faces the familiar faces here
about.
The knowledge that he possesses a
national ranking in comparison to
players who are unknown outside the
District line benefits Hunt not at all
in competition here.

WASHINGTON'S trouping tennis
quartet has returned to the city
after a week which started promis-
ingly, but during which they were
sent home empty handed SO far as
trophies were concerned.
Two of the city'S leaders were elm
mated on the first days play and
might just as well have saved train
fare had they been able to foretell
the opposition they were due to
receive
Hugh Lynch. who shone brilliantly
in his first local exhibition to reach
the semi-final5 of the District of Co.
lumbia tournament, was eliminated in
the first days play at the Spring
Lake invitation tournament.
Likewise, Harry March, Techs great
captain, emulated Goliath when a
young David struck him down in the
play at Frederick.
The other two, however, weren't
stopped until the final stages. OF
the pair, young Charley Charming
still competing in boys tournaments
here, went the furthest, and what he
did commanded the most attention.
Up in the Blue Ridge Mountain tour
nament with March, Charming went
all the way to the final and it was
no easy road. Standing between him
and the title round was young Allie
Ritzenberg, who up until last Wednes
day had trimmed the Central star

around expecting to see him lose, SO

with a three-set victory. And later

NEW GAS RATE
PLAN OFFERED

Expressing Willingness to
adopt a sliding scale in fixing
the rates of the Washington and
Georgetown gas light companies
rates to local consumers. Marcy
L. Sperry, president of the con-
Germs. today asked the Public
Utilities Commission to hold a
conference to consider such a
step.
Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts suggested a sliding scale
modelled after that of the Po-
tomac Power and Electric Com
pany. He called for the rate
scale and proposed an arbitrary
rate reduction of approximately
is per cent in gas rates.
Mr.. Sperry asked for a meet
ing between members of the com.
mission, the Peoples Counsel and
officials of the gas companies
to draw up plans for a sliding
scale basis in reducing rates.
Riley E. Elgen, chairman OF
the Public Utilities Commission
said the commission would con
slider the proposal, but that the
request would have to be drawn
up in more concrete form.

chief, says mo"
He backs it up with a long

the charge that persons on relief
won't accept work is entirely un-
true. In fact, he says that out of

persons who actually refused work.
OF the 10000 cases he found
only 220 in which complaint had
been made that the relief recip-
tents had refused jobs because it
was easier to stay on relief. The
statement today says:
"GOinG to the bottom Of the
22O cases. only four were found
that could with justice be attri-
buted to unwillingness to work."

complaints were made. IS were

G.N.SD-A second formal protest

japanese consul in Seattle, that
he had telegraphed a complete re-

here in which Emperor Hirohito
was depicted as drawing jinrick-

The consul said that his mes

form of protest. He said:
However, / am sorry If the
people of America think a thing
of this kind is funny"
Japanese Calm
Maintaining their traditional
calm, Japanese residents of Sc
attic today had little comment
concerning the mirnicry of their
emperor drawing rickshaw which
was staged by a district CONNER
cial club yesterday.
But the incident drew sharp
criticism from Occidental business
men in the city, many of whom
have close relationships with jap
anese firms, notably steamship
lines and importing companies.
Several prominent civic leaders
vigorously condemned what one
termed a "thoughtless and hare

ruled that because some payment
had been made on the arrears the
union was in good standing, and
his stand was sustained by a 43-37
