Old Oxford
Site Ball
Haunt
Bv KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

An old baseball land
mark of Washington
is giving away to the
march of time.
The demolition Of what years
ago was the oxford Hotel at
New York Avenue and Four
= teenth Street must cause many
). of the old-time baseball fans to
2 ponder the days when the hos
telry was flourishing and when
it was headquarters for the
Washington club back in the
mauve decade.
y You think of those times as the
era wherein many of the ball
Splayers were still wearing
Smustaches and no few sporting
ssideburnS.
! That span in the early days Of
the current century is often re-
ferred to as the days when ball
players wore "handlebars" on
their upper lips.
In Sock Feet
Along about two hours before
game time, the horse-draWn vans
with seats running lengthwise on
either side, would pull up in front
of the old baseball haunt and out
of the hotel came trooping the
boys in flannels, often in their
sock feet, carrying their spiked
shoes by the strings in Difference
to lobby carpets.
They dressed in their hotels, in
those days. Many o. the parks
did not have running hot and cold
water or rubbing tables to care
for the muscles and ligaments OF
even the men who toiled in the
pitching box.
OF evenings the baseball gang
loitered in front of the hospice,
mostly fitting back against the
wall in those old familiar hickory
arm chairs which you seldom see
any more except possibly in one
of the older police precinct sta
tions or fire houses and maybe at
some Anticipated railroad crossing
where watchmen vile away the
endless hours.
Just a SapLing
I was, may say with some
modesty, still a pretty young sort
Of an upstart during the times
of which I speak, but I have
vague memories Of q few Of the
personalities Of those times.
Wasn't there Big Ed" Dele
hanty, one Of the most brilliant
hitterS Of the days before the So
called rabbit or lively ball?
Also wasn't there Jimmy Ryan,
the last big Lacquer to shave his
muStache?
And it wouldn't be fair to forget
Nal Kittridge, a great catcher in
his hour, but one who was pain
fully slow on the bases. Why. he
was so slow that he actually was
thrown out at first on two occa-
sions in a single season after clean
singles to right field. Lew Drill,
q Georgetown product, was a
catcher of the same era, and a
good one, too.
There was also another familiar
player with whom memories of the
old oxford Hotel are associated

Washington.-The best the American
merchant marine can hope for from
the present congress Ia 4 restoration
of the $22,00O,OOO cut out of the post
office appropriation bill. The item APP
proved originally was $26,500,0O0 for
ocean mall carrying. but the senate cut
this to $4,500,000.
No one contends that carrying the
malls by American ships is worth any
such sum as $28.5OO000. II It were
question solely of getting the malls
carried, there is little doubt that for
eign shipowners would bid lower
price than that And be glad to get 1t.
The larger sum Is paid actually
because of the accepted theory
that the government must ecourage
an American merchant marine, and
on two theories. The first the
DRY, of course, Is national de-
tense. In the event OF war. both the
army and navy would need very
large number OF auxiliary vessels
boats to carry supplies, OIL food. NUM-
lions, etc. In the World war the
whole hope Of the Germans to win
was based on the possible success of
their submarine campaign to break this
line of supply.
The other reason Is the one so fire.

He liked the Illustration that II one
department store used the delivery
service of competitor to send out Its
merchandise, 1t would not be long be-
fore the one depending on the other
for trucks or wagons would be forced
out of business, even II 1t saved money
by utilizing the service during the first
few months or years.
Mr.. Wilson was very forclbly i'm
pressed with the advantages that Ger
many and Britain had gained In the
period prior to the war by having
their own trade routes to South Amer
lea where he was anxious, as has been
every subsequent President. to build

Flood Control

The amount of money which will be
spent on these flood control projects
will stagger the Imagination, when
added up, as for instance In general
flood control bill. Senator Francis g..
Newands, Is years ago. was regarded
as nuisance because he talked about
spending a couple. Of hundred million
dollars for both food control and rec
lamation.
Congress at this very session will
seriously be considering spending sew
eral billion dollars for food control
alone, and without covering the entire
country at that
One bill, introduced by Senator
Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsylvania, and
providing for flood control works In
the Ohio basin above Pittsburgh. would
appropriate more than fifty-five million
dollars. This would cover the ALLIE
gheny, Monongahela, Juniata and one
or two smaller streams.
There Is no way of figuring just how
far 1t will go, certainly no predicting
TIL the President gets back from his
fishing trip, finds the relief part OF the
Lob pretty well covered, and interest
conferred on the prevention OF future
disasters.
He will find Harold l.. Ickes enthusi-
astic. Ickes' nose has been pretty well
out Of joint since the relief message.
The President had decided to turn all
the relief spending over to Harry l..
Hopkins WPA. But dams and power
plants are right down Ickes' alley.
The WPA, however, say they can award
contracts as easily as anybody else.
But from the present attitude OF con-
gress there win be plenty for all,
enough to make everybody happy ex-
cept the wouldbe budget balancers.

There Ii a further element which
puts the whole house subcommittee
program into red ink, the treasury ex-
perts privately point out This Is that
the committee counts on s10o. 000, 900
from the ''windfall" tax. No one In
the treasury has ever really taken that
tax seriously. AS matter Of fact
treasury experts do not think the
President had figured on 1t seriously
az a revenue raiser. It's purpose was
far more propaganda than as money
producer.
It was intended to hold up before
the country the interests that profted
from the Supreme court decision In
validating the AAA and outlawing the
processing taxes.
Difficulties in Way
Constitutional difficulties Of actual
ly collecting the tax are something else
again, and 80 the treasury experts who
figured out the tax schedules just put
that to one side, as far as any reli-
ance on revenue was concerned.
Meanwhile the hearings scheduled
by the house committee, and those
which will follow when the measure
gets before the senate finance commit
tee, will riddle the whole idea that
change In the corporation taxes Will
produce the needed revenue without
that very substantial part of the whole
tax scheme which the President HIM
self included, the excise taxes.
1t has been no secret from the first
that the senate would rewrite the
whole bill. Members OF the house ad-
nit that freely. Administration lead
ers In the senate like Pat Harrison,
chairman of the finance committee, will
do their best to follow the Presidents
Ideas as closely as possible.
Expectation has been all along that,
In order to make sure OF enough
money, they would be forced to retain
the present corporation levies In whole
or In part-the tax on all net earnings
of corporations, now is per cent on all
corporations OF any size, the capital
stock tax, and the excess profits tax.
In fact, there has been strong ten
dency to save all these taxes, intact,
and add on enough Of the tax on un-
distributed earnings as proposed BY
the President to make up the addition
al amount needed.
This additional amount, by the way,
Is roughly $792,OO000O year, less
whatever Is raised by processing taxes
and the windfall taxes.

Government Ownership

Flood disasters spell a tremendous
boom In government ownership OF cleo
trio power plants. Congress Is In lib
eral mood with respect to flood relief.
but 1t is also ready to 60 further IN
the direction President Roosevelt has
always desired In bringing about pub
licly owned power systems.
Even In the direct relief, which will
OF course be followed by vast works
aimed at lessenlng the proportions OF
such disasters, there is notable ad-
vantage to publicly owned" utilities.
For instance, consider two electric
plants, one publicly owned, one private
ly owned. at nearby towns on the
same river. 1t could be the Merrimac.
or the Connecticut, or the Allegheny
or any river hit In the recent floods.
Money already allocated by the
President Is available for replace
ment' OF the publicly owned plant.
The stockholders of the privately
owned plant must take their loss, I'M
ftsS lntg HdfG uuOu iupu dusI.
It Is for the future that the develop
ment Is really important, however.
There viii be a wave of dam building,
aimed at holding back future flood
waters, and utilizing the water mean
time for the generation of electricity In
publicly owned power plants. These
naturally must sell their electricity
somewhere-the Supreme coui1 upheld
that In the IVA case even II 1t did
not specifically mention flood control.
But 1t did say with great clarity that
the government had the right to sell
surplus power developed incidentally
to some constitutional project
SO that actually all the 60-odd In
functions by the private utilities
against PWA loans for power plants
seem great deal less important than
they appeared to be few weeks back.

The proposed excise taxes, which,
levied on 33 commodities, were calcu-
lated to raise 1921. 100000 year, are
not dead They are just pushed I'M
der the pile for few days. In fact,
the best judgment on Capitol Hill and
In the Treasury department is that
they will not only be revived. but will
be increased,
Treasury experts have been working
on this whole problem for months.
They know very accurately what can
and what cannot be done In the way
OF raising revenue. The point Is that
they know congress will never enact
1t without so many exemptions and
loopholes that 1t would not produce
anything like the revenue required.
Moreover. the President did not con.
template enactment OF the tax plan
without the excise taxes So that, In
addition to writing In all kinds OF ex-
emptlons, the proposal OF the Hill sub
committee would strike 1921 100000 of
annual revenue from the bill.
