HEARST RIFLE.
TOURNEY DRAWS.
BANNER ENTRY

BY LIEUT.. COL. JESS KRUGER
Spurred on by enthusiastic en-
dorsement from the Secretary of
War and Secretary Of the Navy, as
well as high ranking officers in
both branches Of the service,
thousands Of r. o. T. c. cadets
in schools throughout the United
States and possessions today be-
gan active preparations for par
ticipation in the eighteenth annual
William Randolph Hearst rifle
matches.
In the 1936-37 competition an
unprecedented total of 604 teams,
each Of five men and two SubSti-
tutes, were officially entered. The
matches just starting are expected
to exceed that record total. There
is not other inter-school event in
history to equal the number of
entrants and widespread rivalry
for honorS.
Secretary Of War Harry H.
Woodring, when notified that the
War Department was about to
send out instructions regarding
the matches, said:
"It is gratifying to know that
Mr.. Hearst is again offering his
fine trophies for r. o. r. C. rifle
competition in 1898. In addi-
ton to its value as q measure
of national defense, rifle shoot
ing develops keenneSs Of eye,
q steadiness of hand, and habits
of exactneSS which are qualities
well worth cultivating.
HARRY H. WOODRING,
Secretary of War"

stance, Joe KraAauSkas, Just UP
from Trenton, famed nine and
held them scoreless through the
final eight innings. They won the
first game from the Athletics Wed
nesday but, in the second, Edgar
Smith shut them out with one hi:
in a curtailed seven-inning game.
Don't regale me with what might
have happened in the eighth and
ninth. Smith shut them out the
first time he faced them this year.
That Ken Chase, another Wash
ington importee, also seems abe
to beat them pretty regularly.
Personally, I think the key
man Of both Staffs is Melton, since
the Yanks are supposed to MUIR
der faSt-bal pitchers. If he wins
his first start, the Giants will
have great chance. If he doesn't
they'll probably have very little.
PITCHER EFFECTIVE
Until that happens, though,
you've got to go down the middle
on the pitching thing, since a
pitcher is effective in direct ratio
to the hitting he faces and, as
said, left handlers are now facing
virtually no hitting from the
Yanks. So I think, until further
developments, I can toss a coin
on the business.
No, I'll tell you what you do.
You toss the coin-and I'll catch
it.

that tailored suits are walking

TRAFFIC STAFF
CUT IS HINTED

A provision will be written into
the District Appropriation bill de-
signed to reduce substantially the
number Of policemen who now are
assigned to traffic duty.
This was indicated strongly to.
day by Representative Ross Col.
-lins Cd. of Mississippi, chairman
Of the House District Appropria,
tions Subcommittee, who declared
that many members of the House
as well as local citizens have com.
planned to him about the techni,
calities for which traffic police.
men make arrests.
At the same time, the Subcom.
mittee chairman said the provision
contained in the last three Dis.
trict appropriation measures, per.
mitting IS per cent reduction in
the flat rate on water rents and
an increase Of $500 cubic feet in
the metered allowance annually
would not be in the bill when it
is reported to the House this seS.
sion.
Although the Budget Bureau rec
commended continuance of the pro-
vision, Mr.. Collins appears Of the
opinion that the water department
should accumulate the 500, 900
this year as reserve against the
time when enlargement of the
water reservoir system will be ne
cessitated.
He has been told by District
officials that in about eight years
UGH an enlargement will have to
be made in the form Of an addi-
tional reservoir system from Great
Falls. It is estimated this project
will cost about $15,000,O0O.
AS to the traffic policemen, the
Mississippian said:
'It Is q shame for these DO
licemen to be spending a lot Of
time arreSting respectable and
usually law-abiding citizens Who
they may catch going mile or
so above the speed limit or pass
ing through an intersection Just
as the light is changing.
II have had any number Of
people tell me that these traffic
policemen seem to take advan-
tage of every little thing they
can to make an arrest.
"That is not what policemen
are for. OF course, they should
arrest q man when he is driv-
ing in q reckless manner or is
speeding in such . manner as
to be dangerous, but these traf.
fic policemen here pick on peO-
pie for every technicality they
can find.

CITIZENS BACK
CAMPAIGN FOR
SUFFRAGE
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Association Editor

A decision to pursue more dras-
tic methods with Congress in urg-
ing local suffrage was voted by the
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
tion last night. The resolutions
presented by Col. L. R. Maddox,
the group agreed to sponsor a
march Of organizations and citi-
zens to the Capitol soon, to urge
favorable consideration of legisla-
ton for self.government.
The action followed an address
by Wilbur S. Finch, chairman Of
the committee on suffrage Of the
Burroughs Citizens Association.
J. F. Duhamel, Of the Association
of Oldest Inhabitants, opposed a
march on the Capitol, asserting
such a demonstration for another
cause some time ago brought no
practical results.
Burd W. Payne, Of the Citizens
Forum Of Columbia Heights, advo-
Gated returning to Maryland an
equal portion of land given to eS-
tabliSh the District of Colum ola,
with. the exception of about tive
miles south Of Pennsylvania Ave
nue., to be retained as the seat Of
the Federal Government. Such
action would mean residents auto
matically would become citizens
of Maryland, with all suffrage
privileges, he pointed out.
William NICK. Clayton, and Earl
Cooper, president, and H. j. Phelps,
of the Petworth Citizens Associa-
ton, were other speakers.
George H. Brown offered a reso-
luton indorsing Representative
Mary T. Norton's bill to legaliZe
horse racing in the District.
In another resolution, President
Roosevelt was asked to fill the
vacancy in the office Of peoples
counsel at the earliest opportunity.
The meeting was held in the as.
sembly room of the Fourth Pres
byterian Church, with Margaret
Hopkins Worrell, presiding.

MEMORIAL

A proposal to erect a memorial
to James Madison in Washington
has been revived in the Senate.
Senator Henry Flood Byrd Cd ,
Virginia, late yesterday introduced
q resolution for consideration by
this Congress which he presented
in the closing hours Of the first
session Of the seventy-fourth Con-
gress.
The measure never reached the
floor in the last Congress, as con-
siderable interest was given to the
work Of the Thomas Jefferson
Memorial Commission. Now that
this commission has decided upon
placing the Jefferson Memorial in
the Ti:..al Basin, Senator Bird said
today that he is ready to push his
resolution looking to the construc-
ton of the Madison Memorial.
The measure provides for the ap-
pointment of a commission of nine
members.
