IN AND OUT

IN AND OUl
The softball finals are proving
to be an in and out brand of ball.
In the first game the Greys looked
sick and Barbecue won with little
difficulty. In the second Barbe-
cue apparently took a day off and
Grey coasted home. In the third
yesterday Grey looked sicker than
ever and the result of the game
was in little doubt after the first
inning.
The absence of earned runs Is
a feature of the series. In the first
game 4 of 9 runs were earned, IN
the second / of 7, and in the third
8 of 9, a total of s earned runs IN
the 25 scored in the three games.
Both Byers and Duncan have
pitched good ball, but have been
given ragged support on many oc-
casionS. Yesterday B ar ecu e
scored 8 runs in the first inning
on two errors and a base on balls.
In the second game Grey capital
lied on two errors and miSjudg-
ed fly ball to score 4 runs.
Two home runs were scored
yesterday on short hits. McCar-
son hit a grOunder past first base
that Owens booted to the fence,
and Bryson hit fly ball to left
field that concealed itself in the
bleachers while the runner scored.
Manager Lon Brookshire APP
peared in a new role yesterday
that of relief pitcher, although
Duncan needed no relief. AT any
rate the Grey manager pitched
enc inning of scoreless ball.

were the case" Miss Miller said.
Miller went into the contracting
business just after the World War,
when he was discharged from training
camp, and until 1880 constructed
many homes in the Woodbridge sec
tion of Northeast Washington. The
depression forced him to quit build
ing, despite the fact he was reputedly

a taxicab. Virtually all his life was
spent in the Northeast section.
Home Most Of Tuesday.
According to Mrs. Miller, her hus-
band stayed home most Of Tuesday

early supper, between and 5 PM,
he left in his taxicab. A call came to

drove her to Sisters College where
he arrived at or shortly after 8 pm.

Protests over tentative plans for the

conference between the Commissioners
and spokesmen for Virginia and Dis
trict civic groups.

said he planned to take up the whole

to reserve decision to some later date,
Back of the CONTROVERSY, officials
have suggested, is the possibility that
in future years proposals may be re-
vived for construction of a high-level
span across the Potomac. The Com
missioners believe such a development
should be located farther north, be-
yond the District line. If it is to carry
the purpose OF providing an effective
bypass" for the District for use OF
Interstate travel. ....
-Four Lanes Cost Too Much.
Col. Sultan will tell the group the
District appropriation for the Chain
Bridge replacement Is not sufficient
for erection Of span having four lanes
Of traffic. The old piers, which are to
be used under the present authorize
ton Of $3.50, 900, of which $3.50, 900 il
available this year, could not carry
such a width, he argues.
On the other hand, several Virgins
groups are insisting that it would bt
q waste Of money to erect a new
bridge having but two lanes and one
pedestrian crossing.
Frank Lyon, Mclean resident, has
written Col. Sultan insisting it woulo
be better that no change be made nov
and that the support of Senator Glass
of Virginia and others be sought al
the next session for an appropriation
that will meet the needs of traffic
Approaches Are Two Lanes.
Against this is the objection by
District Engineers that the approach
roads to the bridge are but two lanes
wide. Further. they argue. Conduit
road is bordered on one side by the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal and or
the other, In part, by q high bank Of
rocky soil.
They insist q two-lane bridge will
meet local trafiic" needs.

1900 DELINQUENT
FACE TAX PENALTY
Today Is DeadIine for Filing
Personal Levy Returns,

Nearly 1900 Washington residents
have failed to file personal property
tax returns, due this month, and con-
sequently face penalties and court
costs, according to an estimate today

sell.
The deadline for filing returns Is
midnight tonight. The assessors Of
fee Is to remain open until pm,
instead Of closing at AIS, to take care
of as many as possible of the late
corners. Returns placed In the mails
and postmarked before midnight will
be accepted. Russell insisted no ex-
tension Of time would be allowed.
20 Per Cent Penalty Provided.
For delinquency in filing returns the
law provides q penalty Of 40 per cent
on the ultimate assessment and an in
terest charge Of per cent a month.
During the last fiscal year the District
filed 396 mandamus suits in District
Court to force property owners to
make returns, and Russell reports !:
I'VE didn't lose case"
At the close of business yesterday.
Russell estimated 22,5l5 returns had
been filed. For last year some $4,000
returns were made. This would show
some 10000 delinquents as of this
morning, but returns received by mail
cut the figure down by about 5000.
Up to noon, only a comparatively
small number Of persons called at the
office to make their declarations, but
Russell anticipated a much larger last
minute rush toward the end of the
day. Thousands of additional returns
were expected by mail.
Dogs to Be Impounded.
Reports from Tax Collector Chat
ham M. Towers indicated hundreds of
dogs are in danger Of being carted
to the pound, there to be offered for
sale or condemned to death If their
owners do not hasten down to buy
new dog tags, at 81 each, and to pay
q fine Of 81 If the tags are not bought

Last fiscal year about $4,000 dog
tags were sold. Up to this morning
only about $4,000 had been obtained.

help much.
Charles l.. Miller, A, taxicab driver
and ex-contractor, disappeared Tues

nue northeast Wednesday and the
story of neighbors nearby that they
had seen four men park the cab there
the night before. jump out, enter an
other cab and drive off.
Miller's wife waited for word of
him today at the Miller home, 3008
Twentieth street northeast, but she
was afraid. Charles, jr., only nodded
when his birthday was mentioned. He
studied intently every newspaper clip
ping about his father, asked the re-
porter questions and agreed to sit on
the front porch while his picture was
taken If the photographer would not
