Among those expected here to-
day from Arlington to support the
Medley milk bill are representa-

in northern Virginia and many
individual consumers.
Opposed to the measure will be

ciation and number of the larger
diaries of Washington, D. c., that
operate in nearby Virginia.
Among other major measures
due for committee hearings today
are the bills to revamp the States
jail system; to prohibit diversion
of road funds; to establish a soil
conservation act for the State, and
a measure making bangs disease
control compulsory among all
dairymen and cattle breeders.
Meanwhile, virtually all bills re-

held UP pending final action on
the several proposals for old-age
relief in the State.

to be submitted to the house late
this week, while the senate
finance committee is working
overtime on the several old-age
relief plans submitted.
Today's hearing on bill for
Statewide reform of the present
jail system will be centered chiefly
around whether the probation
system should be placed in the
hands of such elective officers as

under the jurisdiction of trained
social workers.
This same committee will also
have before it today the bill to
prohibit diversion of road funds.
Both the soil conservation bill
and the bangs diseaSe-control
measure will probably be acted
upon by the senate agriculture
committee at a special meeting

WAS PROSECUTOR

Senator Prescott first held pub
lie office when elected to the
Rockville town council in his
early 20's and was twice reelected,
serving a total of six years. He
was selected States Attorney for
Montgomery county at the 1880
elections and four years later was
elected to the State senate.
At Annapolis he served with dis.
tinction from 1885 to 1898, and in
his first legislative session was
named to IL committees, including
the two more important groups in
the upper branch-the Finance
Committee and the Committee on
Judicial Proceedings.
ALL HIS 1887 BILLS PASS
During the 1887 session, sena.
tor Prescott achieved a UNIQUE
distinction when every bill ne in
troduced, both Statewide and local
in scope, was enacted and signed,
and he was recognized as one of
the more prolific introducers of
legislation during the entire ses-
sion.
One Of the measures for which
Senator Prescott is best known
was a bill that Cancelled an al
legged overdraft in the State roads
accounts of Montgomery, Calvert
and Kent counties, which had
blocked all road work in those
counties for some time. Mont
gomery county's debt alone, total.

cost of only $17,500 to the county,

Stellar Links Match
Among Pros Looms
AT Congressional
Witty Host to Gene
Sorozen, Clarence
Clark This Week End
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Possibility of one of the better
pro golf matches loomed at Con-
gressional today as three of the top
mentors Of the land were scheduled
to gather today and tomorrow at
the big club on River road. Gene
SaraZen, twice national open cham
pion, and Clarence Clark, the big
guy from Bloomfield. N. j., with
the permanent marcel wave, both
are scheduled to visit and play golf
with Witty Cox at Cox's home club.
Although Witty couldn't tell def
nitely what the plans of Sarazen
and Clark will be, he hoped they
would be able to arrange an in
formal match tomorrow afternoon
at Congressional
Sarazen and Clark are on the way
South, heading for White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va, where a $4,000
open tourney will be held. starting
Tuesday at Sam Snead's course. and
where Sammy probably will pick up
all the marbles.
Soft Stuff for Snead.
That tournament sounds like a
pug fighting an Irishman in Dublin
on ST. Patrick's Day. as gent
named Sikh tried to do against a
mick named Mike McTigue a few
years back, with dolorous results
to Mr.. Sikh. Anyhow. a lot of the
boys will be at White Sulphur
to pick up the loose change Snead
doesn't grab.
Among them will be Leo Walper
who probably will be the only local
pro to make the trip into the West
Virginia hills.
Along the pro loop you can hear
a lot of "beefing' these days. as
the deadline approaches on Janu-
ary l for severance of some 40 or
50 topline pros from manufacturers
pay rolls. or at least from the
pay rolls of some of the manufac-
turers.
Won't Play Exhibition.
That will be done on January /
as per schedule, and the boys are
casting around for some means to
fill the financial gap. One of the
better-known pros has gotten a Job
selling whisky on the side, and
others are looking around for some
sideline. 1t looks to be bad win
ter for the lads who do not have
good club jobs. unless they can
crash the pay-off line in some Of
the bigger tournaments.
All Of which may have something
to do with the visits here of some
of the working pros like Sarazen
and Hagen. Both represent manu-
facturers, and have done so for
years. AS soon as Gene sticks his
grinning face into the Congress
sional golf shop today Witty will
try to arrange a golf game with
him. But it will be strictly informal
and won't be billed as an exhibi-
ton.

-Four HaIfba(ks Out
As Redskins Face
Buts Tomorrow
Smith, Fi|ehoek, Irwin
And Justice to Stort;
VenqefuI Bears Await
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Leaving wives and loyal Wash
ington fans for the longest period
OF absence of the current National
Football League campaign, the Red
skins were to board a train for
Pittsburgh early this afternoon. not
to return to the Capital until
week from Monday.
Between now and the time when
they see home folks again they will
have played the still-dangerous
Pittsburgh Pirates, whom they meet
tomorrow. and the ever-tough Chi
cago Bears. A sweep of both games
would go long way toward making
the Redskins heavy favorites to re-
tain their Eastern title. but victory
over either the Pirates or the Bears
promises to be difficult.
Bears Are Vengeful.
The Redskins couldn't do better
than break even in two games with
Pittsburgh last year and the one
they lost was at Forbes Field, where
they play tomorrow. The Bears, of
course, were beaten in the play-of1
game, but with George Halas' gang
still very much in the running for
the Western championship they
promise to be specially vengeful
when the Redskins invade Wrigley
Field q week from tomorrow.
Although taking his full squad of
80 players, Coach Ray Flaherty
has all but abandoned the idea of
five of them playing against Whizzer
White & Co. tomorrow. Four of
the incapacitated men are half
backs-Andy Farkas, Bill Hartman,
Jay Turner and Max Krause-and
the other is Center Henry (Red)
Krause. Farkas. Hartman and Red
Krause were banged up badly in
Brooklyn last Sunday. Turner was
hurt two weeks ago in the Phila-
delphia game, and Max Krause was
injured in the Giant game.
Parks Wins Starting Post.
1t is probable that none of them
will play at all, but if the services
of any are needed, Flaherty said
that Hartman and Turner would be
the first two to be called on.
Because of the injured list, Flaher-
ty will start backfield of Riley
Smith, Don Irwin, Ed Justice and
Frank Filchock All but Filchock
PLAYED vital roles in winning the
championship last year, and the
newcomer is expected to bear a large
part of the burden tomorrow.
Flaherty was pleased particularly
with Filchock's ball-carrying last
week and says that the old Indiana
star will add passing to his roper
toire of offensive threats.
Only one change will be made in
the Redskins line. Rookie Micky
Parks from Oklahoma will start at
center for the first time. Previously
Krause or Vic Carroll have been
at the snapper back post at the
opening kickoff, but Parks has
looked so good recently that he
rates now as logical starter.

Duel Frowned Upon
By Reins Leaders

NEW YORK, Nov. SIT turns out
that the horse racing championship
of the United States was not entirely
settled when Seabiscuit ran the hide
off OF War Admiral the other day at
Pimlico. To be precise, it was only
half settled.
There are a million or so harness
racing fans between the two shores
who won't get in the least excited
until there Is a squaring of between
Greyhound u:55A). the champion
trotter, and Billy Direct U:55, king
OF the PAGERS.
Each horse holds the world rec
ord for his class. which is more than
can be said for either the Biscuit or
the Admiral
There is no telling whether the
pair will ever race, despite the fact
that both owners are understood
to be willing and anxious to have it
out.
Last Match Race Poor.
The last harness match of any
importance was contested back in
1915 between the treat trotter Peter
Manning 1:56a) and the PAGER
Single G 1:581a) for a side bet Of
$4,000 Peter Manning won but 1T
was poor race.
One who saw the race recalls that
the two drivers pulled their horses
down nearly to walk for the better
part of the mile distance, because
each was determined not to supply a
"windbreak" for the other.
The harness drivers favorite po-
sition in any race is in second place,
on the rail and right behind the
leader. He likes to stay there. let
ting the front horse breast the wind,
until they near the finish.
