tremendous power and speed, broke al

One strike, one ball, two strikes, foul,

netted nothing. To the crowd it seemed
as if Donovan never could be beaten as
the champions appeared helpless before
his wonderful speed. Still Chance COM

crowd it struck high over the right
field seats and the crowd went wild.
Then, like soldiers attacking a preacher
wall, the champions attacked, and be-
fore the inning was over they had
made six runs and their waiting game
had won.
Chance had calculated from the first
great speed, and that no human being
could hold such a pace through nine in
nings. and during all the time that the
crowd thought Detroit would win, the
leader of the champions was sitting
watching every move. waiting for the
first sign that Donovan was firing or
beginning to lose his speed. At the
start of the seventh inning he thought
he detected signs of WEAKNESS, but the
Smiling Tiger still was strong. After
Hoffman scratched that hit at the start
of the eighth, Chance saw Donovan
lower his pitching arm as If weary. and
he issued his order-and after Tinker
drove that home run he ordered, Take

dered the charge, and his men, held in
leash so long, leaped to the plate and
began the bombardment that brought

tunnels are completed, and if the Camden Common Council, at its
meeting tonight, shall pass an ordinance for the purpose, the
Delaware will be tunneed between New Jersey and Philadelphia.
But the smile fails i'll the fact that New Jersey is not tapped at
all by the tunnels, but taps the two great centres Of population.
1t affords a great and unobstructed highway for travel from
other States, but it absorbs their population. their enterprise and
their wealth. The river tunnels will constitute the greatest assets
of New Jersey in the future, for they will do more to enrich the
State than anything else except the railroads.

WHOM THE TAX
DOES NOT TOUCH

Houses. The bondholders, as we'll as the preferred stockholders,
are exempt from the tax. The common stock is held by the
multitude, and the bonds and preferred stock by the favored few.
The common stockholders take their chances of getting any divi
dends, while the b%ondholders are secure OF, their interest and
the owners of the preferred stock must be paid before the COM
mon stockholders can come in for any OF the profits. Guaranr
teed dividends also cannot be touched. The few wealthy owners
of the S21 ,24O, 400 OF stock OF the United Railroads OF New Jersey
get 10 per cent. per annum guaranteed and pay no State OF
local taxes. They are untouched by the corporation tax.
Surely there is no equity in such a tax.

ANY white man who makes a living
by fighting would be perfectly willing
to take the winners part of good
sized purse for whipping a colored
boxer-if he knew he could do 1t. The
rub comes in the fear that the result
may be just opposite TO his hopes and
fatal TO his prestige and ambitions

the level Of an outlawed sport by ring

enough manhood to give all national
