CITIZENS ASSA|[
UTILITIES BOARD
North Cleveland Park Group
Favors Naming of New
Commission.

In action arising from a discussion
of the Capital Transit Co.'s recent
adoption of additional one-man street
cars, the North Cleveland Park Citi-
zens' Association formally resolved last
night to favor the appointment OF a
new Public Utilities Commission.
The opinion of the association was
that the commissions concession to
the company in the matter of addi-
tional cars of the one-man type was
unwarranted in the view of public
safety. The association also took the
stand Of other civic groups in opposing
the use of additional one-man cars.
DR.. H. N. Roberts was elected presi-
dent of the association at last nights
meeting, the first of the season. Other
officers chosen we're j. w. Howes, vice
president: M. E. Roberts, secretary;
r. L. Risdon, treasurer, and Paul E..
Waring, corresponding secretary. Del
egates to the Federation of Citizens
Associations, both of whom were re-
elected, were DR.. H. N. Roberts and

sequent happenings explained his reluctancy to go and get them in the first place) A short time after he returned to this country the A. A. U. Committee announced that Jim Trorpe had pasta past that rendered him ineligible to compete against the world S amateurs for Olympic glory The charge was that Jim had played a bit of baseball for money. Not much money-perhaps not enough to cover his incidental expenses on the trip to Stockholm-but money, nevertheless.
 All his Olympic prizes were pack ed and shipped back to Sweden. What eventually became of them no one knows. They stripped Thorpe of his trophies but they couldn't erase the picture of his all-conquer- ing efforts on the cinder paths. To all who saw him, including King Gustav, the Indian remained the outstanding athlete of the 1912 Olympics.

Purples and Paps Expected to Put Up Good Fight
 for B. B. Honors

Tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 o'clock the Moose and Elks baseball teams oppose each other on the Firemen's Park diamond. The Moose, a half rung higher on the second half lad der than the Elks or Douglas, next in line, will have to really hang tough, if, short two important men, Earl Forsythe and Tex Hawkins, they are to knock the high climbing Purples down a step Victory for either team means tops in the league standings while defeat will put eith- CT in third place Plenty of spur for both squads.
 Tal Picinini, with no defeats on his record so far, will be on the hill for the Black Sox. The best guess for Pap catcher appears to be Earl Mo- val-the big fellow looked pretty fair in one game he has caught so far this year But Tex Hawkins leaves a big hole.
 Big Mac MacSpadden is primed to do the PB.O.E. hurling. The Purples always play their best with their manager on the mound, so it looks to be plenty tough tomorrow Vinton Clark is slated to do the re- ceiving. Clark did mighty pretty job behind the plate in the Fourth of July game at Douglas.

There is plenty of indication that the United States Olympic track md field squad will be made up Of startling mixture of transplanted Irish English, Swedish, German md other athletes, so it was fit ting that the first to be named tC tne team should have been a na- tive Americana fullblooded Indian Ellison (Tarzam Brown, the Mar ragansett redskin, earned the right to represent the United States ir the feature event of the program the marathan-when he ran a flock of pale face runners ragged ano won Boston race in April. Brown's trek of more than 26 miles covered the very territory through which his ancestors tracked deer and oth- CT game.
 The presence oT a full-blooded h. dian on the American squad is cer- tain to call to mind the fact that a few years ago we sent another na- tive American to compete in the Olympics. Jim Thorpe was the fel- low. He did very well, too
 Back in 1912, Thorpe, a thorough bred Sac and Fox Indian, out-ran out-jumped and out-did all other candidates for Olympic glory. He walked off with the pentathlon and decathlon championships. He was easily the star. of the show at Stock holm that year.
 Made King Wait
 King Gustav of Sweden present. ed Thorpe with a flock of medals and trophies, but not until Indian Jim was good and ready to come out and get them. After he had been proclaimed the greatest all around athlete of modern Olympic games, the court chamberlain or dered him to appear before the Swedish monarch.
 Jim was resting aboard the Fin land, floating home of the Ameri- can competitors, whe n the royal messenger presented himself. Jim in- formed the courier that he was per fectly comfortable right where he was. After all. his friends were jall on board, And there was g

MOOSE DEFEAT MAKEUP VET
 PLAYER TEAM
Legion Members Fail to All Show Up, But Game Is
 Snappy for All That

It seems that the Legion lads like to play baseball-when they are winning-that is most of them. At any rate, only five Legion ball players (not even the manager ar irving with the bats) showed up for their meeting with the Moose last evening.
 With Ev Novel;, Joe Snow, Irv Hagerup, Wayne Graham and Al Blomquist as a nucleus, it was a pickup Legion ball club that put up fine seven-inning fight be- fore dropping four to one decision to che Black Sox in one of the most hustling and the fastest plsv- ed tussle of the season. The old spark that has been missing from the Vet lineup all season was there last night and the conglomerate aggregation put up grand scrap but the Pap power was too much for them.
 Moose Substitutes
 The Moose, too, missed a pair of their regulars, Tex" Hawkins be- hind the bat and Earl Forsythe at short, but with Jim Morgan doing a fairly nice stretch of mound duty to hold the Legion to four bingles were out in front all the way.
 Try Hagerup took over the hill for the veterans and managed to keep most of the Pap blows fairly well scattered but was nicked for four extra base clouts that did a quadruplicate' worth of damage. Not all of them were his fault though, as some of the recruits were bit out of touch with the game and didn't quite hold the runners down.
 First Run in First
 Fritz Schmitz strolled to lead off for the Moose and Clancy Con- verse tripled him home for the first run of the game in the first half of the first. Fritz came right back in the third with a three base bingle of his own and came across with his and the Moses second marker when Tal Picinini walked and drew a throw to second base on an attempt to steal. The sixth saw three one-basers count another Pap run and the fourth was scored in the seventh on Whites double and Converse s single.
 LegiOn's Lone Tally
 The Legion got theirs in the fourth when Graham safetied, was singled to second by Snow and driven in by Nowell's two-bagger. Novel; got two of the Legion's four hits for .667 average in the box. Fritz Schmitz was top hitter for the Paps with triple and single and a walk in four times at the plate. Rogers got double and single in three, Morgan two singles out of three and Converse a triple and a single in four trips Bardi. of the Elks, made a mess of beau tiful stops at short for the Legion as did Graham at second, to turn in the flashiest fielding perform ances. Red Shaw, who has been playing as an umpire all year made a comeback at centerfield for the Vets with a nice running catch of fly to short right center.
 The game did not get started until 6:55 because, when the Legion team failed to show up, none of

the League officials present were stony hearted enough to forfeit it to the Moose Instead they waited for enough willing lads to appear to fill out the Legion lineup. It was 70. K" with the Moose = they wanted to play ball.

STUDENTS HERE
ON WORLD TRIP

Two VienneSe students arrived
in Washington last night on a
world-circling tour, and left early
today for New York on the lap Of
their journey by land. They will
embark for their homeland tomor-
row, they said.
The youths - Max Rusch and
Helmuth Habmann-left the Aus.
trian city in April, 1885, going
through Italy to Egypt. Crossing
into Asia, they drove across China,
then shipped to Japan, and thence
to Seattle, Wash. Their trip to
Washington took them into Texas,
thence north again, and east.
The most difficult part Of their
Journey, they said, was through
Burma and China, where they
found no roads and had to be
towed by elephant and camel.
They carried digging tools as part
Of their equipment and found
these implements of great value.
What was a new car when they
started is now battered and ancient
in appearance.
