little revenge for four successive de-
feats at Hannibal during the last

Those battle SCARED Indians fought
desperately from the very first and
should have clinched victory early
in the pastime. The fray was a
bruising one and the intense heat
added to the anguish. Spencer, pitch

extricated himself from seemingly a
hopeless hole in the ninth and then
gave way to the Southpaw Kraft
who was in danger in every round
that he worked

Eyler fielded his position in great
style. He gathered in bunt, which
was in Bresnahan's territory and by
quick work retired the runner.

Hannibal Scored First.

Hannibal was first to score in the
second. 1t was an earned run. Dow
ers, first up, sent single to right
and Hamilton sacrificed. Foley
grounded out to first and Webster
pounded one to left center which was
good for two bases. Spencer fly out
to left. During the next four innings
Eyler pitched air tight ball, allowing
neither hit nor run.
keokuk came right back in the
fourth inning with the run that tied
up the battle and from then it was
nip ana tuck until Hunter crossed
the plate with the winning run. A
base on balls delivered to Bresnahan
paved Keokuk's path. Reichle pushed
Bresnahan down to midway with a
sacrifice. Collins went out, Cavanaugh
to first, Bresnahan advancing to
third. Miller singled to right.

Why an Aeroplane Rises

THE next thing to realize is that whether an umbrella
is standing still and the wind blowing it, or the
wind IS standing still and the umbrella is pulled through
it, the effect is the same If wind blowing at th;rf
miles an hour will blow umbrella inside out the same
umbrella would be blown inside out by being held open
on motorcar travelling at thirty miles an hour on
calm day.

LOOK FOR BREAK

Interesting Complications May

TIE possibility of a warm contest in
the making of a selection has been
forecasted. and the expected deadlock
was told of in these columns saturday.
AT that time it was quite evident
neither side would capitulate.
Interest developed towards the end
as to the votes of Councilman Frank

ly selected from the Third ward. MT
Barradale was said to be unpledged,
and took particular care the impress

believe in any deadlock, and in case
this did occur was going to break 1t.

Lincoln F.. Rowley was again selected
as city clerk. The term is for one
year. Julian A. Gregory, mayor-elect'
does not take kindly to his selection,
and believes Mr.. Rowley was one OF
the issues in the late campaign, and
that the. majority of voters, by their
ballots. decided against him. Using
Mr.. Gregory's statement as a criterion.
II eeems likely the same feeling exists
with him regarding the engineering de-
partment and probably the police de-
partment. Mr.. Rowley's qualifications
were aiken into consideration by the
members. His selection was made
unanimous. The names of John Shay
Tor and Andrew McGarry are said to
have been presented to the Councilman
to succeed Mr.. Rowley.
Mr.. Gregory particularly objected to
MI. Rowley having connection with real
estate companies which have developed
tracts in the city. He believes the

of the voters. and that the city char
ter should not provide for selection OF

NEWARKERS
MAY APPEAL TO
STATE TAX BOARD
Residents Complain Against Al
legged Inequitable Levy
of Assessments.

That several property-owners in East
Newark intend to band together and
take to the State Board of Equalfza-
tion of Taxes or the Supreme Court the
matter of assessments recently levied
in East Newark by Assessor John H.
Martin, is the gist of a statement made
by a prominent ~boroughite today. This
action will be taken. 1t is understood,
If the Hudson County Board of Taxa
ton does not take cognizance of facts
laid before 1t Saturday.
An exclusive story which appeared
in Saturdays Evening Star concerning
the levying of assessments has caused
much comment among property-own-
ers, who declare that the time Is at
hand to ave a stop put to the in
crease of valuations by the assessor.
AS stated Saturday, DR.. John M.
Pringle, who is president of the Dor
ough health board, appeared before the
Hudson County Board of Taxation and
presented figures which seemed to as
tonish the commissioners. The ply
stefan showed that while valuations of
individual property-owners a nearly
tripledf in ten years, that of the Clark
Thread Company had not jumped more
thar three-fourths in fifteen years.
In 1895 the Clark Company paid for
taxes, according to DIR. Pringle, $685.
034.S0. while this year the borough
Golfer will receive approximately $29,-
049.51. Although the rate is 20 points
lower now than ten years ago, the in
dividual taxpayer is paying in some
cases twice as much as he did a decade
ago.
1t is believed that the toval yalua-
