captain, with a thoughtful scoWl

The lives of 80 men are in my

How do you make that out
Pepper?'

exactly" says the leader. But sup

calls my man out. What is my
move?"
"Well, what is it?"

That's why I'm reading this her

The other day in practice game,
while Capt. Martin was umpirlng
with considerable aplomb and alb
sentmindedness, a batter sliced a
pitch on to the plate and the ball
rolled fair. Capt. Martin called the
batter safe at first. At once II
rockies surrounded him, eXpound-

error.
"You got that wrong, cap'n.'

impressed.

That's mighty interesting" he
admitted. II never broke any rules,
so nobody ever tole me about 'em,

I don't know. I suppose there is
some kind of book which contains

That's right, captain" said the
rookie. I'll lend you copy"
do So" said Capt. Martin
tersely. And now, all you fruit
pickers, get back on the job. What
is this, a mutiny?"
Capt. Martin says the rules make
thrilling reading.
"As captain OF this outfit, I have
to know them," he says, though
there is stuff in here which don t
seem to apply to any game I ever
heard of, let alone baseball. It is
mighty interesting stuff"
Reads like a novel, eh?"

coldly. II have left all that frivolous
stuff behind me. When I think that
I used to rassle around and tie knots

Capt. Martin, looking wistfully al

perusing some volume Of weighty

Didn't he promote a frivolous

a busboy and a bellhop from the
Cardinals winter hotel, the bellhop
knocking the busboy out in the
second round while this same Capt.
Martin stole a watch from the ref

Didn't he once encourage rassling

sent a great variety of ideas, as
there exists wide variations of
opinion upon the subject. On
every hand in the civic ranks is
shown high appreciation of the
spirit of interest and fairplay
which prompted Senator Over
tons proposal.
The Senator recognizes the i'm
portance Of the adoption of fair
fiscal relations plan before the
adoption of the budget, the franz
ing revenue act or the adoption
of plan for the reorganization
Of the District government. In
this he is in agreement with the
best thought in local civic circles
and also the Griffengagen report.
The recognition of this principle
is considered one of the strong
points in that report.
Reports on the revenue and fis-
cal measures are expected shortly
from both the Board of Trade
and the Federation of Citizens
Associations. The Committee on
Municipal Finance of the board
and the Committee on Fiscal Re-
lations of the Federation have
both been working on these mat
ters and expect to report to the
parent bodies In the near future.

Endorsed by the civic and business

Endorsed by the civic and business
organizations of the District. it is
expected to receive early and fa-
vorable action by the House.
John Philip Sousa, internation-
ally renowned as "the march
king" was born and reared in
Southeast Washington. AS a boy
he played and swan in the river
near the site of the bridge. After
a long and eventful life and ac-
claim the world over as great
composer, his body was brought
to Washington for its last rest
ing place. When standing beside
the grave, in Congressional Gem
etery, one can see the bridge
which it is planned to name as a
fitting memorial to this great ma
tive WaShingtonian.
The proponents of this legis-
lation have seen another and a
patriotic appropriateness for the
proposed naming of this bridge.
At Georgetown. across the Poto-
mac River, at the western side of
the city, is the imposing bridge
named after Francis Scott Key,
author OF The Star Spangled
Banner" Key was once District
attorney here and had his law
offices and home near the ap-
proach of the bridge which now
bears his name. The Capper bill
proposes as a companion picture
to name the fine, modern bridge
which is to cross the Anacos-
tia River at the eastern side of
the city after John Philip Souss,
the composer of the Stars and
Stripes Forever
