Motor interests of all kinds, includ-
ing car manufacturers, petroleum re-
f1neries and distributors of their
products as well as user organizations,
heard with disquiet during the past
week of reports of efforts to increase
Federal automobile excise and gaso-
line tax levies. Although having small
hope for the repeal Of these nliscel-
laneous taxes, leaders of the various
motoring groups have felt confident
that no increases would be voted at
the current session Of Congress.
Battle lines already are laid to re-
sist to the utmost any effort to in
crease the Federal motor tax burden,
which aggregated $257, 100000 during
the calendar year 1884.

Going beyond any previous decision

declared the right of State regulation
extended even to private property.
The decision, which still faces

Jurisdiction which eliminates one OF

pionS."
Almost every major fancier in
Washington has one or two birds
which attracted wide attention by
their winning ways. Here's few
of them:
"Congaree," a red check hen,
bred in 1920 by William r. Pen
nington from Joseph Bonami, Al
exander Hansenne and George De-
Bidder strains, was a stand-out

nooga National, besides placing
high in many Concourse races.
Diplomat" Glorious" and "Fleet-
wood" in whom "Congaree" blood
was strong, all did themselves
proud. Glorious was a great 600
miller.
William F. Dismer's pride and
joy is Dixie Twilight and Dawn"
a hen. She has long and i'm
pressive record. DiSmer also has
had two unnamed birds, one of
which flew the Chattanooga eight
times and the other six times.
John Holmead's Manor Boy"
will be long remembered. It was
the first D. C. pigeon home in the
first Chattanooga National in
1924, besides capturing several
500-mile events.
Eureka" bred by D. Roy
Mathews, has gone down into the
annals of local pigeon flying for
his gruelling 1,000-mile flight from
Cuba, he being the only survivor.
Other Mathews birds which stood
out from the flock were Old
Splash, Red Rover. White Ghost,
Paragon and Southern Cross.
Whenever the veteran Henry c..
Hile's loft is under discussion, his
champion hen Black BeSs figures
in the conversation. She was the
Omaha of Capital pigeons over the
500-mile distance several years ago.
Joseph S. Turowski, Concourse
racing Secretary, offers Miss
Mercury as his champion per-
former, ad A. S. Johnstone'S Sure
fire did memorable flying. Donald
P. Matson boasts of the achieve
mentS of Black Queen, especially
as young bird.
Hunts New Teacher
r. A. Hunt, one of the old-tim-
erS, produced the famous New
Teacher" which during 1909 and
1910 won nine 400-mile races over
the tough Northwest course.
Harry C. Burke has had to
move his loft around too often
to have developed a Standout in
dividual bird, but this year a
grizzle cock. 5OO-mile winner,
seems likely to blossom forth into
a champion" Salvador Soldano's
"Crinda" has left it's memory
green in his mind for it's many
fine performances. There are
many more pigeons who will be
long remembered.
Several fancierS have never
bothered with giving any one bird
special training, striving for a
consistent flying among their

Topnotcher
The Tech-Alexandria setto
should be a topnotcher for early
season play. Both elevens are in
fair condition, and Tech, for one,

expect him to. The betting is
9 to S, 7 to 4, and in some wild
cases 2 to / in favor Of the

The hardened gamblers who
know anything can happen,
and, recallin. the Braddock-
Baer upset, are hcwing to as
close odds as possible, with
Louis always the favorite.
Meanwhile Max Baer is out

strictly a temperamental fighter.

account of himself, and like
Jack Sharkey, when the urge

to the ring.
Strictly a Business Man
Against such an indifferent

who is all work and no play
when the gong sounds. He fights
like Buddy Myer plays ball
You can work up confidence IN

you never know what the derned

There is another comparison
which is swaying so many peo-
pie to the young Negro title con-
tender-it is this:
Baer is a telegraph hitter. In
his Camera fight everybody in
the bowl knew a blow was COM
ing, it seems except Camera.
On the other hand Louis is a
sneak hitter. He glides in with
apparently no take-off and the
damage he inflicts while his foes
are making up their minds Is
irreparable. While Baer would be
getting set with almost a ritual,
Louis could plant perhaps half
a dozen rights and let's, any
one Of which might end the
fight.
Mary Attends to That
Condition - There's nothing
wrong with the condition of
either. The former Miss Mary
Ellen Sullivan, of Washington,
now Mrs. Max Baer, has seen
to it that Max has had all the
benefits of Sedate Six-weekS'
preparation for his fight. Louis,
by his very habits and tenden-
cies, has needed no such super
vision. His worst folly is perus-
ing the pages of Popular Me
chanics or the antics of a guy
called Pop Eye"
But what I want to know is,
can the former Miss Mary Ellen
Sullivan, Manager Ancil Hoff-
mann, or anybody else in Max
Baer'S retinue, get him good and
mad before he climbs in tween
those ropes on the morrow.
If they can, then I promise
you an abySsmal ring atrocity
for the books, for, as I have
tried to intimate, Max Baer can
go to toWn-When he wishes.
