The appeal for an increase oVel
the 100000 carried in the bill
for direct relief was made by Rep
resentative H. Jerry Voorhis 3D.
Of California, who cited to the
House statistics showing thai
$1,000 persons were unemployed
In Washington.
$50 A YEAR A FAMILY
eff we give the District $780,

each unemployed family here
will get $50 year for relief"
he said. THAT is not enough.
"It seems to me that it Is
time that we give certain con-
sideration to the maintenance
Of a proper standard Of life in
the District"
He pointed out that the Dis
trict's relief appropriation in the
new bill is $436,50O under the
current appropriation.
Representative Ross Collins CD
of Mississippi, chairman OF the

QUESTIONED CLOSELY

Closely questioned by Chairman
Fritz G. Lanham CD of Texas, OF
the committee, he voiced the
further view that such an airport,
privately operated, would earn a
substantial profit and that its
cost could be amortized from
revenues obtained in part from
concessions along Mt. Vernon
Memorial Boulevard and Columbia
Pike.
His plan would involve the use
of part of the Arlington Expert
mental Farm Of the Department
of Agriculture, already owned by
the Government, and the purchase
of approximately 1876 acres of pri-
vately owned land to the south,
extending to Columbia Pike and
assessed at $297 This, he
said, would provide an airport of
400 acres as compared with the
143-acre airport now in operation.
1t was developed in his teSti-
mony that the Washington Hoover
Airport, which he said is now pay
ing q slight profit, is the third
busiest in the United States, with
more than 500 landings each day
between 8 a. m. and midnight.
Only the Newark and Chicago
airports now handle heavier traf-
fic, Mr.. Solomon said, with the
Cleveland airport running Wash
ington close race.
Removal of the Arlington radio
towers to Camp Springs as con-
templated by the Navy in the near
future will eliminate one of the
principal hazards to the opera
ton Of the Washington- Hoover air
port, he said, and the clearing out
OF the structures near the airport
and Columbia Pike would make it
entirely safe in any weather.
NO major accident involving
a fatality has occurred in the
history of American aviation as
q result of the deficiency of any
field" Mr.. Solomon said.
Regulations alone cannot pre-
vent accidents. If they could
we would not have automobile
accidents
CITES BOILING DANGER
Before building a field at
Gravelly Point where operations
would be endangered by the
closer proximity of Boiling Field,
I should like to have members
of the committee visit our con-
troll tower. No one should ever
locate q commercial airport
near busy military airport
without spending some time in
the control tower of the COM
mercial airport first.
Mr.. Solomon told the commit
tee that Military Road is no
longer a flying hazard but a
nuisance ana expense"
Solomon was invited to return
for further hearing before the
committee Tuesday. No sessions
will be held meanwhile, Chairman
Lanham announced.

Year of Ease for Louis Likely
Before He Encounters Nova,
Not Yet Geored for Route

Nova S recuperatlve powers were
remarkable, but he had to split
honors on that point with Farr, who
just isn't human. At the end of
the 14th round he didn't know his
corner from the Atlantic Ocean,
but he came back in the last round
and didn't do so badly. If he ever
loses his jaw he won't have any
defense.
Nova fights erect, arms tight to
his sides, with sharp left jab and
a short, chopping right his major
weapons. He punches fast and hard.
When tired his defense crumbles,
and he'd be fried chicken for Joe
Louis when that happens.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The fight
experts seem to agree that Lou
Nova is at least year away from
bout with Joe Lewis. So, with
Max Baer 5000 miles away and Tony
Galento the circumference of the
earth, or at least looking that big
around, it appears the Brown Bomb
er can get his fried chicken for quite
a spell without worrying about the
fried chicken getting him.
Louis has little date with John
Henry Lewis at Madison Square
Garden, January Is. and may have
trouble tagging John Henry for
shipment back home, as John Henry
Is right spry, but Joe should do it
eventually.
John Henry is the boy Joe didn't
want to fight because, Hes my
friend. I go to his fights and he
goes to mine" it may be the end of
a beautiful friendship, but at least
they'll still be seeing each other

Incidentally, we can hardly wait
to hear the radio broadcasters go to
work on that one. If the two
'Looies" were twins it would be
just about perfect.
Lou Not Geared for Distance.
Nova showed a world of pos
sibilities in defeating Tommy Farr,
last Friday, although at times there
was real doubt whether Lou would
finish with the nod or in the land
of it.
He wasn't geared for the distance,
and midway through the fight he
was oh, so tired. AS one who as
a boy used to dog-trot until it felt
like you had appendicitis in both
sides, and was too stubborn to admit
it, this corner can sympathize with
the Alameda lad. And we didn't
have some one running along beside
us tapping us on the chin with a
mallet every few feet either.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Chief sports
disappointment of 1898, individually
and collectively. were the Pittsburgh
Pirates, who kicked away the Ma
tional League pennant in the last
week of the season.
Fourteen of the 10 sports editors
participating in the 9th annual
Associated Press poll picked the
Pirates flop as the years outstand-
ing disappointment and five more
made it No. 2 on their list. With
points awarded on a 3-2-1 basis as
each participant picked three dis
appointments, the Pirates collapse
received total of So points.
Owls Close Behind.
Close behind at 40 was Rice's
football team and its backfield ace,
Ernie Lain. AS a sophomore, Lain
had led Rice to the Southwest Con-
ference championship in 1887 and
the Owls figured to be strong ma
tional contenders in 1888 But
neither Lain nor the team as
whole clicked consistently and the
Owls finished with record of
victories in 10 starts.
Ranking next on the "disappoint-
ment parade" was Max Schmeling
for his failure to repeat his 1886
victory over Joe Lewis, followed by
Dizzy Dean, who was of little use
to the Chicago Cubs until the end
of the 1888 season.
Whites Nomination Surprises.
All told the sports experts men,
toned 80 disappointments. with
football contributing 13 and base
ball 9.
One surprise came in the nominal

SEATTLE, Dec. 19.-Freddie
Hutchinson, the sensational West
Coast pitcher who recently was sold
to Detroit, predicted today the Tigers
would have the best chance Of any
team in the American League to
overtake the champion New York
Yankees.
"At that I betcha we won't do any
worse than third, but If the pitching
holds up We'll take those Yankees, -
he said. Detroit hasn't much to
worry about at the plate-it has
plenty of power there.
There certainly won't be any lack
of trying on my part. All we need
to do is to be on the lookout for the
Yankees. But Of course there are
other teams which appear to have
power-they are Boston and Cleve-
land"
Delay Costly to Tigers.
Hutchinson said he would be glad
to "get in there and try to win along
with Bridges, Rowe and them all"
He now weighs 200 pounds and
stands 6 feet 2 inches. He has
dark brown eyes, brownish-red hair
and freckles.
Hutchinson said he had had no
word from any of the Detroit Of
ficials, that all the news he has re-
ceived thus far has been newspaper
reports.
Hutch, as he is known around
the Pacific Northwest, is the son
of a doctor. He started high school

Aside From Champ
In Novu's Class
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Sad but
true, the heavyweight situation once
more is in the large, playful paws
of Maximilian Baer.
Max is the only heavyweight, out
side of Champion Joe Louis, capable
of making a good match for Lou
Nova. Nova became the divisions S
man of destiny Friday night when
he whipped Tommy Farr, but he is
not ready to step into the same ring
with the champion.
If Lou beats Baer. no easy task
he will have cleaned up the field
with the exception of the barrel
built Tony Galento. and can move
into title bout with the best record
Of any challenger.
Should Baer win, Mike Jacobs
oratory and the silent but strong
pull of large wad of greenbacks
will bring Baer and Louis together
again. Nor is this too distant a
possibility. Baer has beaten better
men than Nova.
Believes He Can Whip Max.
Lou is especially anxious to meet
Baer. Before leaving for his home
in California and Christmas dinner
with his wife. he pleaded with ia
cobs. Get Baer for me; I'm ready
for him."
Yeah, know I haven't fought
a hitter like him, but Id make him
miss he continued. I'D fight him
like Louis did. Let him laugh and
clown around. I'd keep jabbing him
and Id keep piling up points.
can beat him"
So Mike wired Ancil Hoffman,
Baer's manager. There has been no
answer yet, but the industry here
abouts feels certain Max will rise
to the bait and enter the ring for
the first time since the night last
February when he battered Farr for
Is bloody rounds.
II he fights Nova and forgets the
pitiful plea he wants Louis or nc
one, Baer will be the severest test
the blond youngster has encounter
ed. In shape and with another
chance at the big money just be-
yond, he may turn in one of those
performances that used to send the
fans home babbling joyfully.
Should Be Great Scrap.
Nova has taken no punch like the
right Max throws. All his fights
have been with conventional war
riors and he has met no one who
kept up running comment on the
fight with ringsiders nor any one
as croWd-wise as Maxy. It should
be whale of battle.
But Max will be 80 on February
II. He has been out of the ring
since the Farr fight. He has lost
the fighting edge, as Farr lost it for
Nova and as Dempsey lost it for
Tunney.
He can't come back after a lay
off like that and lick me-" chortled
Nova as he pushed his way through
the crowd of backslappers outside
Jacobs Office. "But he still can pack
EN- in at the gate. I'm not going
home to spend any money. I'm still
out Of the big dough. A fight with
Baer will bring me that"
Also it can bring an awful whack
on the jaw.
