New York, Dec. 6-,UP)-A bat
terry of tabulators at Baltimore be-
gins counting votes today in the turf
and sport digest's poll for the best
race horses of 1913. Announcement o.
the Juvenile and handicap winner
probably viii be made late Till
month.
For once tabulators will find lit
tie competition for the three-year.
old crown and for the covetec
''horse, of the year" award; since
mighty Count Feet seems to deserve
a runaway victory in both divisions
But they will have tedious joE
wadding through ballots from eX-
perts in the United States and Can
ada, which are distributed among
flock of candidates in the other
three classes: Two-year-old colts;
two-year-old fillies and habburners
that have passed the four-year
mark.
Since the polls are closed, and
anything we may say now can
have no effect upon the vote, we
give you our selections for the best
horses of 1913:
% Two-year-old colts and geld
ings-Occupy; CD Two-year- fill
lies-Whirlabout; 90 three-year-
olds-Count Fleet; 90 Four-year-
olds and upward-Thumbs Up; (5)
Horse of the year-Count Feet.
Occupy seems the best two-year-
old colt, because this bay son of
Bull Dog finished out of the money
only twice in II starts; and he won
for owner John Marsch a total of
$112,949. He won the rich Washing
ton Park futurity and the richer
Belmont futurity. In his II starts,
he won five and placed four times.
Although Occupy haG no great yen
for distance, it seemed to us that he
showed more consistency than any
other two-year-old colt or gelding,
including Platter, Pukka Gin, Rod
ney Stone, Royal Prince, Alorter,
Danme Team, etc.
Among the two-year-o fillies,
Whirlabout, busiest of the lassies,
showed consistency by being out of
the money only three times in Is
starts. Her earnings of $27, 760 were
less than those garnered by such
gals as Bee Mac, Miss Keeneland,
Mrs. Ames, and Twilight Tear. The
bay daughter of Pompey-Lost Hor-
lion won five, placed in five, and
showed three times, which was good
going in tough, topsy- turvey cam
paign for fillies,
The handicap class of four-ye
olds and upwards was the most
scrambled of all divisions. But out
of the welter, Thumbs Up seemed
to emerge best L. B. Mayors bay
four year-old colt, blood brother of
Whirlaway, was out of the money
only once in IS starts, winning four,
placing in four and showing in four.
He earned $97,100, tops in the hand
leap class. Marriage, Market Wise,
Shut Out, and Devil Diver did not
show his consistency.
Count Fleet, the brown lightning
colt owned by Mrs. John Hertz,
seems to have no genuine competi-
ton for three-year-old and horse
of-the-year honors. Though the son
of Reich Count started only six
times and was retired about mid
season because of injuries, he won
every start and $174,055. His tri-
umphs included the Wood Memoir
ial, Kentucky Derby, Preakness,
Withers and Belmont Stakes. He
ran far; and he ran fast-the best
horse competing on any track In
1913,

Scoyill 46; Bristol rs

The Bristol basketball aggrega-
ton coached by the veteran Court
mentor Whitley Manager saw her
hopes to bounce back from defeat
earlier in the week at the hands
of high stepping Chase hoop COM
bine, dashed to the rocks because
of a no better than so to so break
on talent on hand.
This game from the opening min
utes of the first period saw the vet
eran Scovill combine outplay but
not outclasS the Bristol combine by
piling up a very formidable II point
lead, which they managed to hold
up until the fourth period of play.
This lead might have been stretched
to decisive victory before half time
if it hadn't been for the brilliant
playing of Whitley Bliga on the Of
Tense and defense, mainly thru his
brilliant and deceptive passing abil-
ity was his green Bristol squad able
to hold intact as long and as well
as 1t did.
But in the fourth period the SUI
perior Scovill courtmen spearheaded
by the scoring quartet of Begnal,
Runnivage, Joyce and Bates, turned
that II point lead into 81 point
victory High scorers for Scovill
were Joyce 10, Runivage 8, Bates
and Begnal Z. For Bristol, Harri-
son was high man with IA points,
with Whitley Verbilla running sec
ond with half that or seven points
The final score was 46 to rs.

Waterbury Tool A; U. S. Rubber AZ

~
When local sports writer said,
The Forthcoming game between the
Watco's and the U. S. Rubber, may
well be one of the best early season
games of the 1894 scramble he
was right, and if am nat wrong
I think it may stand out in the
minds of those who follow basket
ball, as one of the best games of
those played or those yet to come.
Because it is reasonable to conclude
that when a Waterbury, and a Maui
gatuck combine meet, you can't get
a game to beat it. AS this fact
was clearly brought to mind as the
two teams both rallied in the 4th
period of play yesterday, with the
lead of not more than five points
seesawing back and forth every other
second, keeping the fans on their
feet until the very final blast OF the
timers whistle.
In the first period this contest
showed real playing ability on the
part of both teams, as the score at
the end OF the first period of play
was only 10 to 7 in favor of the
Tool, with Blackie Stanley, the tall
rangey Watco center sinking about
6 of the ten Tool points scored in
this period. While in this OPEN
ing period Naugatuck showed no too
great amount of offensive power,
they managed to keep the Tool edge
down to points, with their Of
Tense and defense spearheaded by
Lefty Farrar, local New Haven An
mex gridster, and Johnny Mahan
who chalked up most of the mark
erS.
In the second period wide-eyed
Tool rooters saw Lefty Farrar use
some of his gridiron passing ability
to advantage, and by 1t tieup the
ball game 10 all, and then with so
per cent luck and SO per cent skill
he brought the Rubber combine out
in front for the first time in the
contest by one marker, ending the

Result Of courage and foith

These contributions to our war effort didn't
just happen by accident Long before Pearl
Harbor, farsighted steel management had the
courage and the faith to increase steel capac-
ity far beyond immediate needs.
Management was able to do this because
of our natural resources, our native ingenuity,
the skill of American manpower. and the
millions of dollars invested in industry by
people who have faith in Americas future.
Among these are the policyhoders of Amer
ica's life insurance companies. Through their
companies, 81 100000 polryholders have in
vested about s1,75O,0OO,O in the bonds of
industrial concerns Of fthis amount more than
$3.50 0O0,0 900 represents investments made by
Metropolitan for policyholders.
These investments have been made not
only in the steel industry, but in the alumni
mum, rubber, oil, chemical, and many Others
Our war effort requires maximum production
in these industries.
This production could not have been at

Bishop Taft Dies
Al 81; Oliver J. Hart
Twill Be Successor
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CHESTER. Pa, July 1.-THE
Right Rev. Francis M. Taitt, bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal diocese
Of Pennsylvania for IL years, died
tonight in Grocer Hospital. He was
81 years Of age.
He underwent an operation for
an abdominal ailment Wednesday,
and apparently it was successful,
but pneumonia developed Thurs
day and physicians said this was
the cause Of death.
Bishop Taitt had announced he
would retire next November /. He
will be succeeded by the Right Rev.
Oliver J. Hart, who was elected
bishop coadjutor earlier this year.
Bishop Hart formerly was pastor
OF st. Johns church in Washington.
Bishop Taitt was descended from
early settlers of the Eastern Shore
of Maryland. He was born in Bur-
lington, N. j. January 3, 1862, and
HloVcu W TllIduclpIlld dt tIle age
of 8. He was graduated from Phila-
delphia Divinity School and Or
dained to the deaconate in 1888.
He was ordained a priest three years
later by Bishop Scarborough of New
Jersey.
After serving three Philadelphia
churches he was named rector of St.
Paul's Church here in 1893 and re-
manned in Chester for 81 years until
he was elected bishop coadjutor
under Bishop Thomas j Garland in
1929.
Two years later he succeeded to
leadership OF the diocese upon the
death of Bishop Garland.
Bishop Taitt never married. His
survivors include a sister, Mrs. Mar
tin Aigner of Chester; two nephews,
Martin Aigner of Chester and Fran
els Aigner of Philadelphia, and an
adopted daughter, Mrs. Leon Buck
ner OF Washington.

tense Transportation that much of
this transportation be assigned to
moving more oil out of the Mid
west, thus continuing to take ad-
vantage of the shorter haul for
that region, as compared with the
haul from the Southwest.
Although Mr.. Ickes' Office was
somewhat vague as to just what the
republication of supply" move will
mean In this section, officials have
been hopeful of obtaining enough
gasoline to permit lifting of The
pleasure-driving ban and to allow
an increase in A book rations. Price
Administrator Brown said Thursday
he believed it soon would be possible
to give hard-pressed Eastern trans
portation some relief. Other ra-
tioning officials predicted that A
rations would be increased by fall.
Truck and bus companies also have
said they must have larger rations.
The discrepancy which Mr.. Ickes
said may soen be remedied now
gives an Eastern A book holder less
than ~ gallons a week, none of
which can be used for pleasure driv-
ing in the Northeast shortage area,
while similar driver in the Mid
west or Southwest has four gallons
week to use as he pleases.
No statement was available from
the OPA, which actually handles
the mechanics of rationing based
! on recommendations from Mr..
1ckes' office. but the latter's an
nouncement was cleared with OPA
before its release to the press.
Inventories Being Equalized.
THE steadily increasing oil move
ment out Of the Midwest and South
west is operating to equalize oil

phant, rushed back into the jungle,

"As soon as this balance can be
established, it will be possible to
equalize the burden of rationing as
between the East Coast and the
Midwest and Southwest.
What the effects of the uniform
restrictions upon civilian gasoline
consumption will be can then be
determined in the light of the full
facts as to inventories on hand and
new supply currently available.
Only on such a basis can policy be
determined. 1t would be faithless
to our armed forces to do otherwise,
merely as bow to pressure"
Mr.. Ickes declared his position
had always been to spread the bur-
dens Of war equally among all the
people, though it would be senseless
to impose greater restrictions on
the West unless such action would
result in easing the situation in
the East.
Deputy Administrator Ralph K.
Davies said the PAW for the present
was not announcing any impending
change as to the degree of ration
ing in the Rocky Mountains or on
the Pacific Coast. Those areas
have relatively large inventories of
gasoline, and transportation is not
available to move it to the East.
Resolution Presented to Ickes.
Mr.. Davies said PAW submitted
the question of equalization of ra-
tioning to the Petroleum Industry
War Council. The group, repre-
senting the oil industry, had pre-
sented the following resolution to
Mr.. Ickes:
That the Petroleum Industry War
Council recommended to the admin
istrator that, whenever transporta-
ton facilities and inventories in
excess of those required for military
purposes are available. Districts l.,
2 and 3 east Coast, Midwest and
Southwest) be considered one area
for restriction of gasoline use with
the same general principles appli-
cable to- each area for sharing all
available supplies"
Mr.. Davies, declared that formerly
the transportation facilities were so
limited that no matter how tightly
the West was rationed, 1t would
have done the East no good, since
there was no means of bringing the
petroleum to the East Coast. Com
pletion of the new 24-inch pipeline
however, will increase the methods
OF delivering oil to the East by an
eventual 100000 barrels per day.
Another Pipeline Underway.
Another factor in the improving
gasoline situation in the East is the
construction of another pipeline, 20
inches in diameter, which is ex-
pected to be completed during the
winter. The Big Inch carries crude
oil to supply Eastern refineries, but
the second line will carry gasoline
and other refined products.
While the Ickes statement failed
to mention the matter, the action
may have been influenced by Di-
rector James F.. Byrnes of the Office
of War Mobilization. Mr.. Brown
disclosed Thursday that he had
asked Mr.. Byrnes to look into the
Eastern petroleum situation. The
implication was that he wanted Mr..
Byrnes to referee disagreements be-
tween himself and Mr.. Ickes.
A major complaint in the East
has been the ban on pleasure driv-
ing. Mr.. Brown, who said he had
always opposed such a ban, has
preached the regulation recently by
authorizing Fasteners to make one
round trip vacation journey during
| the summer

Franco Seems Fadinq
As Dictator, Advices
To Britain Indicate
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 6.-Generalissimo
Francisco Franco is described as a
fading dictator in the picture of
Spain reaching London this week
In dispatches, both private and dip
lomatic.
In the British Government, as in
the American, there has been a
feeling that Francois dictatorship
would eventually be dragged down
in the wake of Hitler's, since the
war has tended to discredit all Axis
or pro-AXis regimes.
There is a feeling now, however,
that Franco may attempt to salvage
his regime by acceding to monar-
chist demands for a restoration of
the crown with Prince Juan as king
