A Strange Condition.

IT IS strange, too, that a city like
iS1 hington, where the women have
e links affairs and more good COM
petition among themselves than in al
most any other city of its size, that
more golfers of national capabilities
have not been developed.
Helen Dettweiler is girl whose
possibilities on the links are boundleSs.
Like her brother Billy. the Dettweiler
girl can play very fine golf at times.
She is not as steady as Billy, but for
a girl she is longer hitter. She was
good enough to win the Maryland
State championship last Summer,
which is a considerable feat in itself
for youngster yet in her teens, from
q field which included Mrs. E. Boyd
Morrow. one of the best golfers ever
developed in this sector.
Helen Dettweiler has good poSsibili-
ties as a future champion. but she
needs more practice and more COM
petition.

Short and Third.

TT ALSO is easier to see why third
base Is an easier job than short
stop.
A shortstop has to cover more
ground, and he has to make larger
number of longer, harder throws.
I still can see some Of the spinning,
half turning flips that Cotton Turner
used to make for Cleveland on almost
impossible plays-throwing his arm
out at short before he finished.
A ball hit down the third base line
usually is at or by third baSenan.
The third baseman doesn't have the
range to cover that shortstop faces
right and left. And the third base
man doesn't have to throw from so
many tough angles. The third base
man has the added assignment of
handling bunts, but the pitcher can
help on this part of the play.

Babe Ruth figures that the shift

says. And that 40 or so yard chase
doesn't help any, when you have a

first base, but the action is different.

California taxpayers would be saved

riam said in statewide address
Bdehending his proposal that the
state take over all roads.
"Careful study of the whole prob
lem has convinced me- he said
"that the present gasoline tax is
adequate to pay highway costs in
California, provided the highways
are consolidated under. one central
administration.
Under the present dual control
system, county road taxes as well
as the counties share of the gas
tax usually are necessary to pro-
vide sufficient funds for roads
which handle only. small percent
age of the traffic.
Merriam has proposed that the
state assume responsibility for all
county roads and retain 21a cents
of the Scent gasoline tax Now
counties receive one cent, cities one
fourth cent, and the state one and
three-fourths cent. 1t is proposed
to increase the cities share to one

sible with budget cuts being made
right down the line. The only per-
sons who will receive the money"

be known definitely until Monday

will have been completed. These cuts
are to be made in direct relief and

Sterrett stated that he felt posi-
tive the irrigation ditch cleaning
project would be continued but
other projects now being carried on
under SERA auspices would be cur
tailed or stopped completely. He
thought that possibly so per cent of
the projects now in operation In
this county would be affected by the
new ruling. ~
In line with a statewide reorgani-

committees list of 25 names will
be submitted today by the county
