LATE NEWS OF THE I
NEWS OF THE DIAMONDS
BY CHARLES JERNEGAN

diamond of all boulders weighing less
than four or five pounds. 1t appears
that the Covina lads have all of these
brickbats spotted and know just which
way every ball will bounce.
The following is taken from the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. This clipping
shows the strides taken toward the top
of the baseball ladder by a lad who
twirled for the Santa Ana team in last
seasons Midwinter league:
1T is too bad that Walter Johnson
does not pitch for a club better than
Washington. With proper support in
the field and a reasonable amount Of
hitting back of him he would be about
the best in the league. AS it is, he
stands only 1893 in the figures, although
on pitching alone he should be away
to the top.
I'm thirty-two games he has struck
out 1873 men, an average of four per
game. He has allowed 176 hits, or
nearly six per contest Next to Frank
Smith and Arellanes he has worked
more games than any man in the
league"
The Bishop baseball team has been
playing some of the best ball put up
by any amateur nine in Southern Cali
fornia. These lads have won twenty
one out of possible tWenty-SeVen
games, and are confident of making
good showing with any local amateur
nine. Manager Boudinot will take on
any old squad of amateur diamond
artists. Phone Home fG93S.
The Los Angeles Pioneers desire
game for next Sunday. Call Reed,
South AGO.
The West jefferson Merchants lost to
the Fernando team yesterday after
noon by a score of to A. Both O'Neil
for the losers and Garcia for the Fer
nando nine twirled nice ball, and were
given good support by the infelds. The
Merchants had the best of a 4 to 8
score in the ninth inning but a strong
batting rally placed the Fernandos on
the long end of the score. The Fer
nando players were accompanied by a
large crowd of fans. but the game was
played with no sign of rowdyism. The
Merchants will again cross bats with
the Fernandos in the near future, and
feel confident of regaining their lost
laures
Despite the fact that many of the
managers of the teams of the Inter
urban league have complained of the
treatment accorded them by the Palms
ni~o Manager Clark of the Racycles
returned from yesterdays contest sing
ing the praises of the Palms players.
THE Racycles have Travelled all over
the league circuit, but have never re-
ceived more courteous treatment than
was accorded us by the Palms boys.
Our hats are off to Holte and his team
of ball tossers," declared Clark.

TARIFF BILL BACK TO HOUSE
Senate Returns it for Correction in
Oil Schedule.
GRANGE IS QUICKLY MADE
Senator AIdrich Defers His ExpIana-
tiOn of Measure Until Monday
Bailey Has Income Tax
Amendment.

| WASHINGTON. April 15.-Shortly after
| the senate met today 1t agreed to reso-
luton OF the house of representatives ask
ing that the tariff bill be returned TO that
body so 1t might be amended to place upon
the free list the products of as well as
crude and refined petroleum. The bill was
soon returned to the senate with this
amendment inserted.
The presidents message for a revision of
the Philippine tariff so that the principle
OF protection might be applied to the in
dustries of those islands and at the same
time in view of practical free trade with
the United States sufficient revenue might
be provided, was laid before the senate and
referred to the committee on the Philip
pines.
Senator Aldrich announced that he would
speak upon the tariff bill next Monday.
After the senate convened today Senator
Bailey introduced an income tax amend
ment TO the tariff bill. 1t provides for
straight tax of per cent on all tscomes
above 5000 yean 1t exempts all incomes
from federal, state, county and municipal
securities salaries of all state officers and
incomes of corporations below 5000. The
former law on this subject provided for a
tax of 2 per cent on incomes OF $500 and
upward. Mr.. Bailey does not attempt to
avoid the constitutional questions and IN
effect challenges them. He estimates that
IL his amendment becomes a law II will
raise about s10O.0O0OOO annually.
Mr.. Bailey said he had introduced the
amendment so far in advance of it's consid-
GRAFTON because he wanted every senator TO
have a full opportunity to consider 1t and
suggest any additional amendment deemed
proper. His income tax amendment he
said, was the same as the law which had
formerly been enacted, with minor excep-
tions. He had In this amendment raised
the exemption from incomes of 1900 to in
comes of 5000, and had raised the rate OF
tax from to per cent. which he said
