SENATOR SAssCER ADDRESSES
BOOSTER CLUB ON TAXATION

President of the Senate of Mary
land, Lansdale G. Sasscer, who Is
candidate for the Gubernatorial
nomination, in recent address be-
fore the Booster Club of Cumber-
land, Md, discussed tax revision. In
part Senator Sasscer said: Great Or
CARNATIONS such as yours, can be of
material assistance to sincere and
conscientious representatives wh)
labor against odds for ninety days
during the session. You know the
needs of your communities and can,
through careful discussion in your
organization of any proposed law
before 1t is presented to your repre-
sentative, save a lot of time and
iron out lot of defects which in
the rush Of the session they may
overlook.
believe we need in Maryland a
comprehensive study and re-adjust-
ments of our tax system so that the
necessary expenses of the govern
ment of this state can be raised in
the most equitable and just manner
This cannot be accomplished in one
session of the legislature and can
only be accomplished through the
full cooperation of the public press,
associations such as yours, and COM
mittees of citizens working in con-
junction with the General Assembly
and the Governor.
There exist many reasons in this
State why re-adjustment in taxa
ton is necessary, mainly because our
entire tax system as we have it to-
day has been built up by individual
approaches as started many years
ago. BY that l mean when it was
necessary to raise revenue certain
sources were tapped and when it
became necessary to raise addition
al revenue certain others were tap
ped with the result that there was
no coordination and system.
One of the most important factors
in re-adjusting our tax system is for
organizations such as yours which
are interested in the integrity and
efficiency of government to take an
active interest in public affairs by

when we have no real estate taxes
! for States purposes. 1t should be left

enue only. State real estate taxes
cannot be abolished by mere prom
Uses or by a magic wand. The only
way you are going to abolish it is

necessary to be raised in the gener-
al budget by careful and economic
expenditure of all state funds and
breaking past of the highly paid

money now rasied through real

BOSTON BRUINS
 HOLD BIG LEAD
BeantOwn Icenlen Are Six Points Ahead of New
 York Clubs
lBy United Pressl

The Boston Bruins, riding ttn crest of five game winning streak were so far in front that the Ma tional League hockey race today looked like an American Ieague baseball race in September.
 The Bruins, were six points ahead of the New York Rangers and Americans who tried futilely last night to break their second -place deadlock. The Bruins, with rookie Goalie Frank Briinsek, turning in his fourth shutout of the season, ran up their fifth straight by de- feating the Montreal Canadiensy To. Cooney Weiland scored the winning goal, unassisted, in the final period.
 The Rangers and Americans, who had gone onto the ice, deadlocked for second place, left it the same way. Phil Watson put the Rangers ahead with a goal at 1925 of tho second period on passes from c. Smith and Dillon but Art Chapman equalled it early in the third with assistance from Schriner and Carr The tie left the New York cluba six points behind Boston.
 Chicago's Blackhawks, holders oi the Stanley Cup, missed a cfiance to put 8 triple tie for second by being held to A deadlock by Toronto. The Leafs, behind A midway in the second period, evened the count on a goal by Jackson in the third and one by Chamberlain in the fourth.

MERIDEN NUTMEGS
 MEET WORCESTER

Meriden, December 16. - The Meriden NutmegS and the second- place Worcester Celtics, whose three engagements to date have been marked by plenty of fisticuffs, are expectcl to provide more fireworks when they renew a bitter feud in the American Roller Hockey League at the Holloway rink here Sunday afternoon.
 Johnny (Kid) Povi of Worcester will be marked man. He is at once the leagues leading goal-scorer; i; only step behind the leading rush. maker, who is Meriden's Joe Pere- grin; and the worst "bad man" in the circuit, having committed the most fouls. He and halfback Tiny Martin, chunky 200-pounder, have been the worst offenders in rough exchanges with the Nutmegs, and the Meriden skaters will be lay ing. for" them, as well as any other Worcesterite with belligerent tend encies.
 Worcester has taken two out of three from Meriden, which will be out to even the series. In recent games, Meriden trimmed New Bed- ford and lost a hard-luck 4-3 ver- dict to Fall River, three last-period drives bounding out of the enemy cage.

Babe Ruth Does Not Rate Pilots
 Post, Writers Vote
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports EditOr)

 Copyright, 1888, by United Press)
 New York, Dec. 16.-(UP).-Babe Ruth, the forgotten man of base ball, can remain forgotten so far as managing 8 major league club is concerned in the opinion of the nations sports editors.
 In reply to this question in the United Press annual poll-"Do you think Babe Ruth should be given a chance to manage a major league ball club?"-49 per cent voted no. Twenty-Five per cent :. aid yes and the remained said maybe or were uon-committal.
 The question was asked because almost every time change in managers is made by major league club controSersy dveelops over whether Ruth's long and valuable service to baseball should be recog- nized by elevating him to 8 man. agership.
 | Many of the sports nditors who voted in favor of giving Ruth big league job said he should first go out and manage minor league club. Among those who emphasized that the Babe had rejected minor league offers was Hal Sharkey, sports edi- tor of the Newark Evening News, who wrote:
 q think it is every employers right to do his own choosing of his help. Ability to manage goes much further than playing experi- ence. Other star players failed as managers. Nobody knows that Ruth would be an exception. The belovde Babe fared better than other great players in the matter of compensa- ton during his lengthy playing ca reer. In 1883 he turned down a chance to demonstrate his ability when he refused Col. Rupperts of- fer to manage Newark"
 Herman s. Reifsnyder, sports edi- l tor of the Altoona, Pa, Mirror, vot- ed no for a different reason: "The Babe reached the peak as a player. He could never reach the same peak as a manager. He is well fixxd financially, moving along ir years and would come in for censure galore if he became manager"
 Parke Carroll of the Kansas City Journal wrote:
 Baseball has been generous to Ruth. If debt exists, t is on his side. He shows a lack of interest in the sport by turning his atten- ton to golf now that he has ceased to play an active part in baseball. Tn my opinion, club owners should be permitted to hire whom they wish without suggestion or pressure from tre Babes many friends"
 Looking at it from "a 100 per cent office angle" Frederick Ware of the Omaha World Herald, asked: would there be any money in 1t for the stockholders?"
 Among Ruth's strongest support CTS for major league managers job was Joe Gooter of the Pater- son, N. J, Evening News.
 By all means" he wrote. "Th1s is baseball's shame spot on the pages of time. The Babe did the gam im- measurable good. And even though he was paid for it, he deserves chance to show what he can do as pilot. He's willing to work at req scgable terms. Why don't the mag mates give him an opportunity in- stead of the cold shoulder"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-16

or where there was a shortage of material. When the rules commit tee threw it out it left many schools and coaches stranded.
 The pivot play really is 8 matter of officiating, rather than some- thing which should be regarded as an evil merely because a team with gigantic center can work 1t with such devastating effect.
 The 1889 modification at least brings the pivot back to the game, although it does not restore it to its former degree of efficiency.
