10-year man, pulling a boner that
would make q Sandlotter blush
for shame.
More scallionS were distributed
in the second half of the same
inning when the Indians dubbed
Leonard out Of the box. Averill
doubled and Trosky singled to
center. Almada charged the ball,
fielded it cleanly and cut loose his
throw for home.
Under such conditions, an op-
tional cutoff play is set up. With
a runner scoring and a man on
first, Lewis was left clear to move
into the center of the infield,
there to intercept the ball or let
it come through on signal from
the catcher. Because Trosky was
on base, under the Washington
system, Bonura would hold first
base and take throw if a runup
developed.
Travis was supposed to place
himself to handle Almada'S throw.
Well. Travis did nothing Of the
sort. He stood like Horatius at
the bridge. Only he was at the
wrong bridge. He was at the
Chain Bridge when he should have
been at Arlington. Belatedly.
Travis rushed for second base.
leaped high in the air and de-
flected Almada'S perfect throw
so that it bounced away.
MEL GETS ERROR
Lewis finally retrieved the ball
and threw to Myer, but his peg
was late and high and wide.
Trosky made the base with ease.
Almada was charged with an error
by the official scorer and this
was most unjust. for the reason
that he was the only one who
played the ball intelligently.
If TroSky had been cut down
going to second, and that is what
should have happened, the Cleve-
land attack would have been
stopped. It is entirely possible
that the score would have been
closer, If not in Washington's
favor. AS it was, Cleveland made
five Of its six runs; sufficient
to win the ball game.
A duel of lefthanders is in
prospect today, with Ken Chase
facing Earl Whitehill.
Melo Almada opened the game
by cracking q home run into the
center field corner. Allen tried
to sneak over a second strike on
the young calallero.
Bonura got his first hit in the
West when he singled to left in
the first inning.
Larry made an elegant play on
Stones grounder over second in
the sixth inning, and took a base
hit right off the the outfielder'S
average.
Buddy Myer, leading off in the
second, fifth and seventh innings,
reached first base each time.
Once on a single and twice on
passes.
An unusual stop by Buddy Myer
broke UP the hit-and-run play at
tempted by the Indians in the
seventh. Myer fieided Campbell's
smash toward right and nipped
the runner by an inch.

If that is to be the end, Petey
closed out his fighting career
with an exciting climax. He was in
there against a strong, courageous
boy whose fighting heart ticked
faster when he was hurt. GevinSon
gave Sarron a fight; make no mis-
take about that. Several times
it appeared Lou was going to
be belted out, but his wavering
legs seemed to stiffen under pun
iShment and his sluggish muscles
were whipped into a fighting fury
by the whitening attack of the
dwarfish Sarron.
The first round was one Of Louis
worst. 1t was noticeable that Sar-
ron was throwing only rights and,
contrary to all accepted tenetS Of
boxing, was leading with them.
Petey waded into Gevinson right
at the opening bell and fusillade
of blows drove Lou halfway into
the ropes and almost to the floor.
MOVING TARGET
The surprised Gevinson fought
Savagely but the pattern was made
in that first round. Lou has to
get set to deliver his knockout blow
and Petey just wouldn't stick
around that long. Sarron jumped,
weaved, ducked, side-stepped and
was everywhere except the place

It was the way Scalzo moved that
left the fans gaping with admira-
ton for a real artist at work.
Pete floored George twice in the
first with two cracking left hooks.
How Carlo lasted nobody knew,
but his heart must have had legs
because that's what he was stand
ing on.
PERFECT FIGHTER
Like a master sculptor, Scalzo
chiseled all the fight out OF
George. Pete hooked; he jabbed;
he crossed his right; he rolled with
puncheS-not a wasted blow did
he throw. Scalzo has won his last
20 fights now and if there isn't a
coming champion then this type
writer is hySterical.
Another impressive youngster
was Tony PaSSaro. who whipped
Frankie DeAngelo in six-rounder.

Motor Club, said today when present
ed with a new survey by AAA ma
tional headquarters giving detailed
information regarding valuation and
taxation of motor vehicle property.
North Carolina. with an average
tax per vehicle OF $73.98 is third high
est in the nation. Only Florida with
ali average tax of $81.93 and Louisiana
with $78O8 are higher. South Caro-
:ra ranks 2Oth with $56.97.
"The inordinate level to which
motor taxes have risen is clearly re-
vealed in the reports figures fol-
North. Carolina" Mr.. Gates said. "The
average automobile in our state cost
its owner $73.98 in special motor We
hicle taxes during 1887. Since the
average cars life-value is $201.87, the
tax paid on it last year alone was
equivalent to 1866 per cent of it's value

trucks pay less than $100 registration
fee, rates in the very lowest brackets
being IS cents per hundredweight,
but jumping. to $1y0O at 10000 pounds
gross weight. There are comparative
ly few trucks of less than that gross
weight in the for hire category as
the limit is SO low as almost to per-
clude any possibility of carrying q
pay" load.
From the $1.00 per hundredweight
the state tag fee runs up to $1.40 per
cwt for trucks of more than 10000
pounds gross weight.
As the top weight limit allowed by
law in North Carolina is 10000 pounds
to be divided 10000 to truck and
20 900 to trailer-the trucks and trail
ers which attain the maximum weight
limit pay registration fees of $500
$3.50 on each the truck and the trailer.
These fees are considerably higher
than the average for the country as
a whole.
The North Carolina truck, whether
for hire or private, pays a gasoline
tax OF about two-thirds of a cent for
each mile in travels.
More than 80 per cent of the trucks
on the highways are of less than 2
ton capacity, it was found by the
Highway Users Conference, and the
average gasoline consumption was
put at 1,200 gallons year, an even
100 gallons per month.
