You don't have to take Kodol all

Kodol is perfectly harmless.

team. He dreams of it and talks of it
and works his head off for it. And
when he finds himself on a team that
is about to contest for this honor, how
he waits for the opening game! What
thoughts are his and what wonders!
| The nervous strain is terrible. / can
imagine that a soldier, just before a
big battle, feels as a ball player does
just before such a game Is it a Won
der that he should be little shaky or
slightly off color? Think of what de-
ponds on each individuals work. If
he makes a slip, ever so slight he may
his team mates, call down the wrath
of the owner and manager on his un-
fortunate head and throw away snug
little fortune for each of his fellow
players as well. The ball player is
only human Responsibility will tell
on him just as quickly as it will on any
other man. Be gentle, then of your
criticism of the man who may make
trifling misplay. It's all in the game.
If it were not for the very fact that
game is never won until the last man
is out, owing to the liability of errors
and misplays creeping in, our national
pastime would not be what it is today
the greatest sport in the world. The
men who play the game who are on the
inside ard who know what the strain
is, never question the the man who
errs. 1t is the outsider, viewing things
from a comfortable seat in the grand
stand and knowing nothing of the real
facts, who makes the trouble.
Another evil that has entered into the
sport in the last few years is the an
nual Wrangle as to how the money is
to be divided between players and own
ers after post series. In most
cases the players are shown up in a
poor light as avaricious money-grab
bers.
Reflections are cast on their honesty,
integrity and character. In my opinion,
this is an even greater injustice than
the criticism and blame before referred
to. The men of the diamond are hon
est and as a rule, open handed and
harted, and they would suffer nothing,
in so far as manliness is concerned,
were they to be compared with any of
the club owners or other big officials
of the national game.
Much needless discussion is always
brought up when the question of di-
vision of the prize money among the
players themselves arises. There is
newspaper talk of disgruntled subs
who are not to receive as much as the
regular players. This is, for the most
part just newspaper talk" for the
matter is generally settled by the ones
most concerned in a few moments,
without any Of the fights and argu-
ments we read about. The men who
have played perhaps one or two games
or parts of games ought not to expect
to receive the same share as those who
have won for the team the opportunity
to get the money, nor do they expect
it. Matters are arranged amicably, de-
spite all talk to the contrary.

DAYTON TEAM COMES TO TOWN
TO PLAY TWO GAME SERIES
Crossing Bats With Whitman This At

Mixtures at Fair Grounds
Tomorrow.

AS a preliminary to the game to be
PLAYED with the Walla W1alla team to-
morrow afternoon at the ball park at
the fair grounds, the Dayton barley
growers arrived in the city this after
noon to engage in combat with the
Whitman college nine, the game being
called at, go o'clock, Immediately fol-
lowing the track meet which is being
held this afternoon on Ankeny field
The Dayton players were defeated last
Saturday by the Missionaries and are
here today to redeem themselves.
The game will be called at $3.50 i'm
after the track meet be-
tween Pearsons academy and the
Walla Walla High school. Vince Bor-
leske, captain of the Whitman team,
will occupy the box for the Mission
aries and his place at third will be
filled by Alf Belt. The collegians have
been getting in some hard batting
practice during the last week and ex-
pect to repeat the performance of last
Saturday.

in making the collector, his agents and
every other official of the government
observe its confidential character.
Of course the respective collectors
would have to work over time in fer
reting out those taxable pieces of hu-
manity who are always striving to es-
cape the official eye, and the inspec-
tors would have additional duties to
perform. Uncle Sam doesn't raise SAL
aries merely because some public SER
want is compelled to burn the midnight
oil
If additional demands require addi-
tional help, it will, of course be
granted, but the officials who have
been figuring over the matter believe
that the entire annual expense of COL
Letting an income tax would not be
more than 100000. They estimate
that at least $120,O00,00O a year

Dual Track Meet.

The regular yearly meet between the
track athletes from the local high
school and Pearsons academy is being
held this afternoon on Ankeny field
and though the dope sheet looks good
for the latter aggregation, it is ex-
pected that the high lads will put up
a strong contest Martin of PearsOns
is depended upon to take all the sprints
and hurdles while Bolts is scheduled
as the principal timber topper, having
been showing up we'll in practice, With
Garfield for the distances and Mccoy
in the weights and hurdles, the cads
should make an excellent showing.
The high school lads have a number
of particular stars whom they are
counting on and with Woods, distance,
and many of the others are doing well.

Baseball Tomorrow.

On the ball park at the fair grounds
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock the
Dayton ey-growers and the Walla
Walla team will cross bats in what
promises to be one of the best exhibit
lions of baseball ever seen on a local
diamond. Both teams are out for
scalps and il won't be the fault of the
Daytonites if they are forced to return
without a victory notched in their
record stick
More than 300 excursionists from the
Columbia county town are expected to
arrive in the city on a special excur
sion train tomorrow morning at II
o'clock, and their presence will un-
doubtedly urge the ball tossers from
that place on to greater efforts.
For the accommodation of the large
number of fans who will witness the
game, special car service will be main

peal the issue to the rank and file Of
| the republican party.
The fact that Cummins and the in
surgents are pressing the income tax
is somewhat embarrassing to the dem
ocrats. They would like toxsaake that
one of the main, if not the main issue
in the next presidential campaign.
But to be effective in that connection
it must have been turned down by the
republican congress. They will vote
against the CumminS amendment as
party policy, but they will support a
similar amendment presented by Sem
ator Bailey, democrat, Texas.) If the
republican insurgents, after the de-
feat of the Cummins amendment,
should support the Bailey amendment
and the latter should by any possible
ty be adopted by the house and sem
ate, it would be lost as an issue. They
doubt. however. that the republicans
in congress will adopt an amendment
of such Importance presented by a
democrat and feel encouraged that
they will succeed in capturing the is
sue.
The deficit of 100000 in Uncle Sans
bank account could be easily wiped
out and his check book balanced to
the good by the imposition of an in
come tax, if the figuring of certain
officials of the treasury is not all
wrong.
These officials will not permit the
use of their names, for the reason that
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
finance commit -, and other members
of influence in the upper branch of
congress have given unmistakable in
dications of being out of sympathy
with the movement looking toward
the squeezing of financial juice out of
swollen fortunes" Long experience
has shown subordinate officials of the
government that their hold upon office
is firmer if they refrain fran making
public suggestions, no matter how
valuable. upon a question under con-
sideration by congress.
Easy to Collect.
The method of collecting an income
tax would be simple. The internal
revenue bureau would do the work.
There might have to be a new chief
and a force of a half dozen clerks in
Washington, but not much more
Blanks would be prepared and sent to
each collector. He in turn would mail
one to each individual in his district
who he has reason to believe has
such an income as would require the
payment of the tax. The blanks would
have long list of questions. asking,
among other things. that the recipient
tell what his business connections are

his activities or investments. The in
formation would have to be given un-
der oath, and penalty would assist

Sulphur is a product on which the
south needs no protection. The reason
therefor is that Louisiana controls the
sulphur market of the world. Senator
Smoot disclosed this eminence OF the
Pelican state while talking on a sec

said that parts of the state are unoer

FULLY $4,000 DAMAGE
DONE BY MINE CAVE
At West Scranton-Worst the City
Has Ever Experienced.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 29-Fully $780,
600 dmage was done to West Scranton
property today by a mine cave--the
worst the city has ever experienced.
Abandoned workings of the old Cork
and Bottle" colliery of the Fairlawn
Coal company, which ceased opera

city blocks sunk from two to eight
feet throwing houses from their foun-
dations, cracking walls and otherwise
damaging buildings.

structure, was so badly damaged that
it will have to be torn DOWN The 9TH
er properties damaged are mostly
frame residences on Fairview and
Chestnut avenues and Robinson street,
with few small store buildings.
One of the biggest items of loss is
the land which. on account of being
on steep hillside, Is probably made
unmarketable. The disturbance is es-
timated to be about 130 feet below the
surface. Tissues extending to the sur
face and three feet across at the top
show themselves in a number of
places.
A new three story tenement on the
brow of the hill slid down the declev-
ity six or seven feet and threatens to
topple with further settling

time stood at 25.49 2-5, and this gave
him the race by almost minute mar
