Better Hurry And
Get That License!

Motorists who are still using 1885
automobile licenses will find them
selves in the tolls of the law from now
on, Marvin Carnahan, state highway
patrolman, said Tuesday, adding that
over 30 tickets had been given out in
one day the first of the week.
Those who receive tags will have to
explain it to the judge and will then
have to procure 1886 licenses or put
their car in storage until able to do
so. A receipt showing that they have
applied for their new license, will get
them by for the present, the .patrolmaEl
said
So far in Benton county, 100 Ii
censes for 1886 have been passed out,
not including truck and trailer Ii
censes, which are mailed from Olym-
pia.

WB Team At Top OF
Heap Despite Loss

Despite the fact that they lost their
first conference game of the season,
White Bluffs high school went into
undisputed possession of first place In
the county basketball conference Fri
day night.
At the same time that they lost to
Benton City by score of 24-14, R1v-
erview, which had been tied with the
local team for first place, was beaten
by Hanford, 26 to IS, resulting in a
triple tie between Hanford, RivervieW
and Benton City for second place.
Their lead will be challenged to-
morrow evening, however, when they
journey to Riverview for their fourth
conference game. Benton City and
Richland will meet in the other game
of the weekend, Hanford drawing a
bye until the next week, when they
will meet White Bluffs in the Hartford
gym.
Saturday evening White Bluffs has
scheduled practice game with Othello
to be played in the White Bluffs gym
at 1880.
The first half of the Benton City
White Bluffs game was very close,
Benton City leading by a score of 8
to 3 at the half. Codding, who was
high point man of the game, went
out on fouls in the third quarter, and
without substitute center, the local
team was shifted around, but the new
lineup did not work so well, Benton
City running up 81 points in the last
half, while White Bluffs could chalk
up but 6.
| The White Bluffs girls team showed
marked improvement over their pre-
vious playing. They led Benton City
most of the first half, but were I'M
able to stave off a rally by Benton
City in the last half, losing IA to II.
Despite the fact that Hanford was
liable to run up a score almost double
that of Riverview's, the game between
these teams in the Hanford gym Fri
day was one of the fastest and most
exciting seen in the league. Both teams
were in fine condition, with Hanford
scoring a decisive victory over the
team which had seemed to be on its
way to a championship.

To Sugar

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. AT might
be orchids to you but it's strictly
scallions to Goldey F, the fleet
footed filly, which actually thriveS
on the breath-taking relish of the
onion family.
Instead of snickering for sugar,
Goldey F whinnies in a big way
for scallions. And she is served
her favorite dish almost every
day. At Hialeah Park, where she
is awaiting the meetings. opening
on January 13, the supply Of
scallionS on hand is sufficient to
safe her peculiar appetite for the
season.
Goldey F. was the undisputed
two-year-old champion of Hialeah
Parks season last winter. Her
dazzling speed and sensational
form may be traced directly to her
fondneSs to MUNICH on scallions.
She Likes Oats Too
She likes oats, hay, turnipS,
sugar and the usual diet of food
given thoroughbredS, but eliminate
scallions from her eatfest and she
is apt to turn moody, sour and
mean. But Trainer w. 2. Bridges
never deprives her of her favorite
food. If he did she might lose her
speed and renege on her training
preparations for coming important
engagements at Hialeah.
The filly with the Scallion-con1.
pick is among the eligibles to the
$4,000 Flamingo Stakes, formerly
the Florida Derby, to be run at
Hialeah on Saturday, February 81.
With a good diet of Scallions it
would not be surprising if she
proved winner of the coveted
three-year-old stake, which closed
recently with II nominations.

Goldey F., owned by Mrs. w. A.

it's financial terms are something

the champion, is to get 42* per

That makes a total of 6212 per

to my ready reckoner for bright

it won't prevail in this case.

Pilot Bid

HOLLYWOOD, CAL, Dec. IA.
Babe Ruth is considering an offer
to assume the management of the
Hollywood baseball club of the
Pacific Coast League. The Babe
refused to consider an offer by
the Albany club of the Interna-
tional League recently, roaring
in high disdain that "he was not
ready for the minor leagues yet"
Ruth, however, has always re-
garded the Pacific Coast League
in high esteem, contending that
the line dividing the Coast League
players from the majors was fine.
He points to Joe Di Maggie Of the
current Yankees, his old friend
of Yankee days, Lefty O'Doul, and
a dozen others to substantiate his
statements.
Baseball men contend that Ruth
would have a real opportunity out
here to display whatever mana
gerial talent he may have. During
his playing days it was the gen.
eral opinion that Ruth would
make a great leader.
Negotiations are pending now
which, if completed, will transfer

Boxer De BeDe Is Mighty Proud
OF Ex-King;s Ring Award
BY HARRY COSTELLO

"Ah, Harr-ee, I am ver-ee proud
to show you thees tok-en!"
The speaker is Arthur DeBeve,
accent and all. Arthur, lest you
know it not, was a soldier of
France, lightweight boxer, and
a ring champion in his day. To-
day he is a Washingtonian, living
quietly and occasionally treking it
to a gymnasium to watch present
day boxers work out.
Last, but not least, Arthur was
a compatriot of my own on the
frozen Steppes of North European
Russia when a handful of Ameri-
cans, French and British went out
to fight Red RusSia's might just
south from the Great White Sea.
Arthur DeBeve lives at 2431
Eighteenth st. N. w. On him are
the marks of the boxer, including
the inevitable cauliflower ear. His
dark eyes glisten as he tells me
his tale.

heem! Yes, he was what you
Americans call a great guy

me, just like you would, Harr-ee:
Would you care for drink with
me?' Me, of course I say yes.
Then we have a drink together
a good drink, and break training
right then and there. Then he

I took Arthur upstairs to the
photographers room4 Arthur had
his picture taken, holding up, for
all to see, the gold and enameleo
plaque presented him by H. R. H.,
Edward Albert, Prince of Wales.
Said Arthur, as he left me with
handshake:
"Ah, yes, he is still a great
guy Don you see, Harr-ee, he

gesture as he leaves. All, yes, for
the love of a woman he give his

1900 Fans Watch
D.C.Bow|ersBow

The popularity of bowling in the
vicinity of Washington was at
tested yesterday when more than
1900 people, capacity, crowded
into the Silver Spring bowling al
leys to watch Ida Simmons, of
Norfolk, and Ray Won Dreele, of
Baltimore, defeat Lorraine GULL
and Aston Clarke, of Washington,
2,414 to 2,371, in their all-star
mixed doubles duckpin match.
In the afternoon block of five
games, Miss Simmons scored 691,
missing her world mark by only
three pins. Suffering from in
juries received in an auto accident
Sunday morning, Won Dreele was
able to roll only $40.
In individual totals for the 10
games, Miss Simmons was far out
in front with 1914, 80 more than
Clarke, the No. l duckpinner of
the country who totaled 1898.
