MILLER has two other promising
prospects in Nathan Askin, 1885,
FOUNDER, and George Dorr, capable
ll5-pounder. He also has two other
good little fellows. That would take care
OF the lower weights, with either AL
perstein and Askin fighting at 1875.
But from that point upward Heine's
troubles begin.
Tom Coleman, sophomore, is pro-
crossing well enough for his scant ex-
perience as l45-pounder, but has no
understudy Bill johnson, a senior,
and Junior. Cox, soph, are only fair
prospects in the 155-pound division,
while Mike Panciotti and Ed Daugh-
erty, 165-pounders. are both rockies.
Ed Lloyd, reserve guard on the foot
ball team, and Donald Adams, 2O5, are
the lone aspirants in the light heavy
weight and heavyweight divisions.
Both are sophs.

Bulge Best of Netmen.

IN TENNIS the name of j. Donald
Bulge was placed at the head of
the list, after the lanky Californian
had achieved what even the mighty
Tilden never accomplished. The o.
year-old Westerner carried off the
Wimbledon singles, the mems doubles
and the mixed doubles honors. In the
Davis Cup he annexed the singles and
doubles crowns and, returning to this
country. Bulge also won the national
singles, the Pacific Coast singles and
daubles and the Pacific Southwest
singles.
While Bulge carried off the over
whelming majority of the mems titles
to place this Nation at the top of the
tennis world, the United States lost
not only the womens all-England
singles honors, won in 1885 by Helen
Jacobs, but also the national singles
title, which was held by Alice Marble.
A senorita from Chile, Anita Lizana,
conquered Mills. Jadwiga Jedrzejowska
OF Poland to win the nationals.
Second only to Bulge among the
men players of this country was 49,
year-old Bobby Riggs another Cali
fornian upon whom the 1899 Davis
Cup team may be built. Among the
women Dorothy May Bundy, who de-
feated Miss Marble in the finals, looks
to be the brightest of the younger
prospects.

Basket Ball Still Grows.
RBASKET ball continued to grow
in popularity, but despite wave
of prosperity the rule makers saw fit
to abolish the center jump, except
for the start Of the first and second
halves. Early games of the 1878
season have indicated the change may
cause even greater prosperity, increas-
ing, as the new rules do, the actual
playing time. In the South, Washing
ton and Lee retained the Southern
Conference title, Stanford was again

American League Rules Baseball.
MUCH in the same manner as they
N performed in 1886, the Yankees
swept over their American League op-
position to win the pennant by 13
games. In the National League, as
usual, the race was closer. The Chi
cago Cubs seemingly were on their
way to the title when they folded
suddenly. And the Giants, with lean,
quiet Carl Hubbell as their mainstay,
slipped from way back to get their
noses under the wire.
The Giants made no mistakes in
their run down the stretch, but after
that they pulled prize boner. For
the second straight year they kept
q date with the Yankees for a world
series. 1t was among the dullest and
least eventful in history. The Yanks
won the first three games, tossed away
the fourth with a second-rate pitcher,
and then mercifully ended it in five
tilts.
1t was bad year all around for
the National League, at least from
viewpoint Of interleague competition.
In the annual all-star game, held in
Griffith Stadium at Washington, the
American Leaguers swept to an 8-to-3
victory. Even at the winter trade

SAM BAUGH,

Adrian Baugh of Sweetwater, Tex. As
a rookie on the Redskins, just moved
to Washington, Baugh became the
most famous player in the world by his
amazing forward passing. Due chiefly
to his Tipping, which stamped him as
the greatest passer of all time, the
Redskins rallied to win the Eastern
division of the National Football
League and then carried on to defeat
the Chicago Bears, champions of the
West, for the pro grid title.
Only about $4,000 spectators saw
that play-off, but they were rewarded
by one of the most thrilling sports
dramas Of all times. On an icy field
Baugh passed the favored Bears dizzy
in game which at one point was
marked by free-for-all fight among
the players. For Promoter George

of his Redskins from Boston to the
Capital was a prosperous move. Wash

It seems that Punkin, a yellow

early last spring. He disappeared
and now. seven months later.
! the wayfarer has just returned
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clyde Sims, 1928 California St.,
to be the center of a celebration.
Mrs. Sims found him wander
ing within a half block of the
house Monday when she went to
the store. But he is evidently
a well-traveled cat by now. Il
don't think he has been close home
all this time or he would have
come home sooner" Mrs. Sims
declares.
LOOKS WELL FED
She believes that someone must
have been taking care of her cap
tivating cat because he looks we'll
fed. In fact, she has theory
that the person who found Pun
kin may have taken him on a
trip for the summer.
Such attentions as the prodlgal
has been receiving since he re-
turned! Instead of being turned
out at night, he now has a new
bed and pillow on the radiator in
the living room. He had a nice
big fish for one Of his first meals.
And he's back in time to celebrate
the birthday which the Sims fam
lily gave" him. It's on October
16. the same day as Mrs. Sims
birthday.
WAS WANDERER
No wonder his return was cele-
brated. Mrs. Sims found him
when a tiny kitten, wandering on
a road in Maryland. She took
him on to the oyster roast where
she was going, then brought him
home and began feeding him with
a bottle.
That was about three years ago,
and ever since, the SimseS have
been doting on Punkin.

Merit Alone to Count,

BY ]. EARLE MOSER

Chief responsibility for intro

ice under terms of the June EX
ecutive orders will fall upon tht
man named chairman of the neV
Council of Personnel Administra
ton. according to Civil Service
Commissioner Samuel H. OrdWay
jr.
The president or chairman o1
the council, Ordway told the So
ciety of Personnel Management
last night, should be at once an
organizer, a capable administra
tor, an educator and a salesman
EXPLAINS NEED
"TTnless he is a famous ad-
ministrator and unless he is
familiar with the heads of op.
Grating depar m e is and
agencies" Ordway continued,
'he will not be able to gain
from executives that confidence
and cooperation which is essen
tial if the councils program
shall succeed"
Under terms of the June "a
orders the council will be formed
February the date thousands OF
emergency workers will be taken
into the classified service-and will
consist of personnel officers in
civil service agencies plus other
members designed by the White
House. Its principal duties will be
study of necessary improvements
In administration, and to recon-
mend such to the President.
1T is to the work of this
council. to the president of the
council and his technical staff,
Ordway said, that I look either
for the realization or future
shattering of a dream which l
have held for Is years-that
personnel administration in the
Government will become an
effective instrument of efficiency
and economy, and prevent what
may be called the imminent col.
lapse threatening bureaucracy
Declaring that many Repuon-
cans as well as Democrats are
affected by the June "a blanket,
ing" orders, Ordway emphasized
that the important matter in ex-
tending the merit system Is the
placing of positions finally within
the classified service, rather than
the question of the politics OF
qualified incumbents at the time
such an extension is made.
END OF INEFFICIENCY
Without merit extension, such
political incumbents would remain
in their positions anyway, he
pointed out, while under the June
ukase those who cannot meet re-
ouirementS of the job will not
acquire a status nor continued
tenure.
Ordway stressed the need OF
additional funds for the Civil
Service Commission. Now pre-
pairing addit4t nal tests to be held
to meet the needs for new en-
ployes as they arise. and bearing
q heavy loaG previously, the COM
mission has asked a considerable
increase in its budget for the COM
ing year, Ordway revealed, and
its members believe the Budget
Bureau will see that its needs are
adequately met.
These FUNDS will be needed for
recruiting, liaisor with educa-
tional institutions, employment
offices and the departments, for
technical examining, largely in
creased stair of investigators and
other additions to the commits
sion's personnel, the commissioner
declared. He also revealed the
commission will ask a deficiency
appropriation for the current fis-
cal wear
