Williams, two 1889 rockies, are the
main challengers for next years
laurels.
Byron Nelson's two-way victory in
the National Open and the Western
Open rates as one of the years
best performances, as was Dick
Nets powerful stroking to win the
St. Paul Open.
As for teams, the Yankees left
little or nothing to be desired. They
had little to fear from Amer"
league teams, and won the seri'
four straight. Though the quo
is open to debate, many bas
enthusiasts hail them as the gre
est team Of all time.
Tony Galento's lattening of Joe
Louis for short count might well
come under the head of comedy.
Roly-poly Tony was considered
nothing more than a clown. He
amazed the fisticuff world by really
jolting the champ, and then further
disrupted affairs by whipping deci-
sively Lou Nova, most promising
u Tic heavyweight Impetus.
Diamond Tragedy
Under the head Of pure tragedy
comes Ernie Lombardi's amazing
antic during the World series. Err
ME, Cincinnati Reds backstop, con-
Quoted a phenomenal one-man sit
down strike while the Yanks scored
the three winning runs in the last
game of the series. It was by far
the most unusual performance in the
annals of 1889 sports history.
Top performances for women
must include Alice Marbles rise
to her position as queen of the ten
mis- courts. She met and disposed
of good opposition to reach her pres
ent status. Then, too, there's the
record made by Betty Jameson of
Texas, who replaced Patty Berg as
National Amateur golf champion.
Elizabeth Hicks deserves an orchid
for her play in winning the Wom-
ems Western derby.
Sports, in general, have been more
prosperous than they were a year
ago. Increase of interest in all
events has been marked. Which is
a good sign for 1910. and for Amer
lea. the greatest sports nation in
the world.

Contractors Act
To Organize
FL Centre, Yuma

Plans for the formation of a state
wide association of general and
building contractors which will in
clude all types of contractors, in the
building industry were under dis
cuSsion throughout the state yes
terday. The setup of this associa-
ton was taken under preliminary
discussion at meeting in Fresno
on December 1st, by 125 delegates
attending from nearly every cum
munity in the state and repre-
senting over 5000 contractors.
The delegates voted to return to
their respective communities, and
after discussing the various plan
submitted, be ready to return to
the meeting next month with au-
thority to vote on the favored plan
Carl w. Spaulding, state manager
of the Building Contractors Asso-
citation, with membership largely
from Southern California, was au-
thorized to arrange for the date and
location of this state wide confer
ence.

Costs have been kept down
in this home with the result
that a popular model has been
produced considerably below
the $4,000 mark. The plan of
this home follows a familiar
pattern but not its costs. The
Federal Housing Administra-
tion insured its mortgage of
$4,000 after FILA officials had
assigned the home a valuation
of $4,250. The mortgage will
be amortized over a period of
twenty years during which
time the monthly payments
will amount to only $22.44, ex-
elusive of taxes and hazard in
surance. This home was built
in Iowa.

Harbor Congestion
Worse at Pedro

SAN PEDRO, Cal, Dec. 9. (UP)-
Cargo congestion grew worse at the
Los Angeles harbor today, because
of the San Francisco tie-up. Nearly
5000 Longshoremen were working
as long as 16 hours a day but could
not keep up with the flow of freight
diverted from the north.
While the mounds of cargo piled
up on the docks, between IL and IS
ships were reported to be still an
choring in the outer harbor waiting
for others to steam away and leave
space at the wharveS.
Any and all cargo will continue
to flow through the Los Angeles
harbor, it was announced by Ray
M. Donnelly, southern California
representative of the CIO.
There will be absolutely no Slow
down of work, other than that made
necessary by congested docks and
overwork caused by diverting cargo
from San Francisco" he said.

What to do with water spots
on walls seems to be an ever re-
curing subject, and now it is so
easy to control that it's hardly a
problem. Of course the best answer
is to prevent the ring before it is
caused, by watching your roof, per-
iodical inspection of the flashing
around all vents and in particular
watch the spot where the chimney
comes into the roof. If, in spite OF
our watchfulneS,S we should get
a leak, just inquire at any building
material house and they have pre-
pared preparations that will blot
out any water mark, so you will
never need fear that it will show
through the paint.
Here are some new things in
building that should be better
known: Plywood that can be used
outdoors-this will serve we'll on
storefronts, children's playpens,
and all the hundreds of places we
need a material for quick and
attractive remodeling.
A novel table lamp for bedrooms
or nurseries has a translucent base
which glows softly when the light

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Hot Weather and Vacations Cause
Lao in Activities of Civic Groups
By JESSE C. SUTER.

With the thermometer aSSum-
ing so prominent place in the
community life there is decided
lag of interest in civic affairs
and civic bodies have all but
evaporated. Our Legislature gone,
leaves the District Building as
the only "wailing wall" for the
voteless and unrepresented peo-
pie of the District of Columbia.
There is not much opportunity
for effective wailing at the Dis
trict Building because of vaca-
tioning officials.
Commissioner George E. Allen
is away on vacation and En-
gineer Commissioner Col. Nc
Coach plans to leave shortly for
vacation at Ocean City, N. j.
The Public Utilities Commission
is very quiet because of vaca-
tions.
The quiet of the District Build
ing was broken the other day
by Commissioner Hazen pounding
his desk and declaring that some
of the disturbing city noises
must be stopped by the police.
This outbreak, some think, was
caused by recent demand that
woman be appointed to a po-
sition under the District where
she can make a real noise"
The Commissioners will award
the contract to the lowest bidder
for the Municipal Center and
the work will be pushed with
all possible speed Tentative
plans are ready for the new
bridge over Rock Creek at Massa-
chusetts avenue.
: A number of other construction
jobs are ready to be carried
forward.
The municipal architects Office
is busy with plans for District
structures both in the city and
at Lorton.
A study is being made of the
feasibility of consolidating some
of the fire companies as a means
of economy. 1t is claimed that
with motorized department
there is not the necessity for
small firehouses scattered all
over the District. There is a dis
position in Congress to adopt a
policy of such consultations and
the survey under way is to de-
termine just what can be done
which will reduce the cost and
at the same time improve the
fire protection.
Southwest Washington is en-
couraged by the opening of bids
during the last week for the new
Thomas Jefferson Junior High
School and Library. The plans are
attractive and there is rejoicing in
that section over the prospect Of
at last getting this building for
which they have been so long
striving.
