AMERICAN PLAYERS
DOING GOOD WORK
Pu1bv Team Rounding Into
Shane In Contests With the
Australian Experts

The All America university rugby
football team touring Australia IS do
ing much better in the games so far
played than was at first thought they
would do.
In. the first game against the Sydney
university. admittedly one of the
strongest club teams in Australia. our
boys were defeated. but the defeat was
not a severe one. Later in the week
a return game was played against the
sydney university. and this time the
best the sydney team could do was
to defeat the American universities by
one point, the score being 10 to g. In
this game the American team showed
up to much better advantage and the
display on this occasion is proof that
the team is fast rounding into that
machine-like combination necessary to
win games.
AS a matter of fact the American
team in the second game. from private
information received, was on the at
tack most of the time. and scored
three tries to two scored by the Aus
tralian team. This shows that the
American team is a strong attacking
team, and to cross their opponents
line three times and only allow these
opponents to score twice. is a very
creditable performance. The Aus
tralians. however. evidently had the
best of the argument at goal kick
ing, as they converted their tries into
goals. while our boys could not bene-
fit by any of the three tries. Had
they been able to convert one of them
the game would have been theirs.
In this game Horton OF Stanford is
reported to have scored two tries, and
Bennett of Nevada the third one.
In the game played yesterday by
the Americans against the Maoris the
dusky men from New Zealand won by

have been expected, and the perform

team must now be in first class CON
dition and the members have evidently
struck the proper combination. and
it would not be surprising to have the
cables flash the news that the next
game was won by the American team.

WESTERN ATHLETES
Hold THEIR OWN
Comparison of Records Shows
Coast Men as Good or Better
Than the Fasteners
By HERBERT HAUsER

A comparison of the records made at
the University of Chicago ninth annual
interscholastic meet held last week in
Chicago and that of the last Stanford
university interscholastic meet in May
is exceedingly interesting to all fol-
lowers of amateur sport. The first
mentioned meet is the largest contest
of It's kind in the middle west, So pre-
paratory schools having participated,
while our local college entry list con-
tained the names of about a quarter
as many schools. The following table
tells the story.
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-26

From the above table it can be seen
that the California athletes performed
best in six events, the 220 and 440 yard
dashes, the 22o hurdles, shot put. ham,
mer throw and high jump while two
events were tied, the 100 yard dash and
the pole vault. The discus event is
new one for California athletes and
therefore the great disparity in the two
records. In the academic meet of the
Bay counties league Maclise did the
high hurdles in :15 As and could have
repeated it at Stanford. In both half
and quarter. the eastern lads as usual
were the best, but this has nearly al
ways been the case When coast athletes
have gone east. AS >both relay races
were of different distances it is i'm
possible to compare them. Taken all
in all the work of the high school
track sand field men of California dur
ing the past season is equally as good
as that of the middle western and east
ern athletes.
The baseball nine of the Central
Methodist church last week won the
baseball championship of the Sunday
school athletic league by defeating
the Trinity Presbyterian team by
score of to T. This event closes the
athletic season of the Sunday school
athletic league, which has in turn sue
cessfully conducted indoor and out

HOPEFUL VIEW OF
FUTURE FOR TURF
Percy Treat Receives Opinion of
New York Lawyer That
Is Encouraging

Secretary Percy w. Treat of the New
California jockey club received let
ter yesterday from George H. Smith,
who was in charge of the oral betting
system at Emeryville during the season
which closed few weeks ago. Smith
is now associated with John G. Cava-
nagh on the New York tracks and he
reports that matters are running
smoothly there and that they are likely
to continue so until September / at
least.
Smith forwarded copy of an opin-
ion expressed by an attorney familiar
with race track affairs on the matter
of the latest anti-betting legislation
signed by Governor Hughes in New
York. According to his views the sit
uation is not as serious as turfmen
throughout the country have believed
recently and it is not unlikely that the
eastern racing associations may find
a way out of the difficulty.
1T is a mistaken idea that the bill
just signed by Governor Hughes pro-
hibiting book making with or without
writing makes individual betting ille-
gal" said the lawyer. There is no
law against betting, and when the time
comes the courts will properly demon
strate this fact. The term making a
book is out of date and does not cover
the present form of speculation on the
race courses. To convict a person of
book making it must be shown that he
quotes odds, duly displayed, accepts
cash bets, records the conditions of
these wagers and gives to the bettors
tickets by which winning bets can be
collected l think you will find that
persons apprehended under the new
law can not be convicted without writ
ten proof of transactions of this kind"

Neighbors Make Land Valuable,
Landowners Themselves Show

DALLAS, Texas, July 25.-If
the principle asserted by some Dali
las property owners were carried
to its logical conclusion, you might
get paid for favoring Dallas with
Iyour presence, instead of paying
a tax for the privilege.
Property owners themselves
have proved Henry Georges asser-
ton that land values depend on
the presence of men and women
in the community; that the value
of piece of real estate advances
with the number of people and the
Improvements they make ON the
land lying about 1t. This added
value, which is not due to the
natural riches of the land or the
labor of its owner, is known as
"unearned increment"
When Dallas was looking for a
new site for its city hall, seven diff
ferent groups of property owners.
deliberately and of their own free
wills, offered to TAX THEM
SELVES for share in the "un-
earned increment" which they
knew would accure to their real
estate If the city hall were located
near their property. One offered
the city $59,125 cash; another,
$4,000 cash; another, a lot 195x
175 free, and $4,000 cash. A
low offer was $4,000.
But just imagine what a howl
would have gone up from these
same property holders If a city or
dinance had created a benefit dis
trict and imposed this tax. There
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-07-26

would have been lawsuits galore
There being no such ordinance
they freely taxed themselves thus
offering to share with the whole
people the new values the whole
people will create but ordinarily
would not have gotten.
The reason why Dallas wanted a
new city hall was the sale of the
old one for $250.000 to Adolphus
Musch, the st. Louis brewer, as the
site for a 20-story hotel, which Will
be the highest building in the ma.
TONS biggest state. Here again
the George theory was demonstrate
ed. The city sold the building for
about $4,000 more than it cost
This sum was the "unearned In.
crement" created by the people
who enhanced the value of the
city hall site by living in and i'm
proving the city.
The commission government
came out of Texas. The initiative,
referendum and recall is in force
in some of its cities. The inhibi-
ton of watering securities, which
Taft sought in vain of congress. is

state. Compelling the railroads to
take out charters and thereby
bringing them under the thumb Of
the railroad commission is an
other Texas idea which the ma
tional government applied.

Will also follow Dallas in restoring
to the people the value which their
