A Dream of Big League Baseball.


 like to watch them big-league boys like to see 'em hit the ball and also heave the same; like to see the pitchers do wind and let 'em fly And with consummate ease see felders pluck 'em from the sky, love to see the basemen dig 'em up with ease and grace And watch the runners slide upon the feet or on the face. It is a sight to see 'em initiate a newly oiled machine; In fact, it Is the choicest sight that I have ever seen. And then 1t must be lovely for to chase about the land And just kick up your heels for fun with pay that's something grand. 5 I'd love to be a big-league gun to such I much aspire, And when "all in" I'd buy yacht and comfortably retire.

in the third from placing the runner further than first; his splendid effort to handle another deep drive to left center all but resulted in runner from first go- ing out at the keystone.
 Bowen did excellent work himself. His most spectacular effort occurred in the fourth inning. Lumley had placed one easily over third. Jordan hit to Bowen. The little second sacker, grabbing the ball from tine ground, ran forward, meet ing Lumley half way, and by a rapid throw retired Jordan at first
 Ellam, too, played star fielding game. He accepted several difficult chances and made some rapid and accurate throws.
 As a matter of fact, all the Barons played well, and had the fatal eighth been wiped out, a spectator might have been in doubt as to which organization belonged to the National circuit.
 The Barons scored in the first inning. Henline drew a pass was sacrificed to second by Bowen, and scored on the pretty drive to right of Manager Molesworth. McGilvray was walked. Gygli then un- laced a corker to left and, Molesworth scored.
 The other runs came in the sixth After Ellam had gone out Kane smashed one or Fuckers speedy ones to right. Molly took everyone by surprise when he cut one over first for a double. Henline, fol- lowing. smashed one to deep center for three sacks, Kane and Molly scoring. 2
 Brooklyn scored it's first run in the first inning afteR two were down. Hummell double to center and Sebring, following, swatted viciously to left.
 In the third the second run was scored. Bell, first up, was hit with the ball. Burch sacrificed him to second, and he scored on the hit of Hummell.
 The third run came in the seventh, and would never have been scored but for a fall sustained by Bowen After one was down Jordan was walked. On Lennox's hit he went to third and scored on an in field out.
 Then came the fatal eighth, when the Superbas hung up four hits, one of them for two bags, and the Barons, who pre- viously had played perfect ball, made four errors in rapid succession. AS result the visitors copped five runs and cinched the game.
 The second game occurs this afternoon. It will begin at 315 instead of 3:30 O clock.

May Not Increase the Tax Rate.

May Not Increase the Tax Rate.
 It may be unnecessary for the State Tax Commission to assess property at a higher valuation than it is now if the predictions are fulfilled of some who have investigated the matter and who believe the revenue from the tax ation of property not now on the tax books will bring in all the funds nee essary. The belief was expressed in the offices of the State Tax Commits sion that fully 20 per cent of the property in cities and larger towns of Arkansas escapes taxation altogeth- er-that it is not even on the books. It is estimated, then, that if all of that property is placed on the tax books through the efforts of the new commission the amount of additional revenue derived from that source will more than make up the additional funds that are needed by the state. In that event, the commission would
