We believe that the reform of the
tax law of this state so that it may
impose the burden of the support of
government euuitably among all men
and avoid so-called double taxation.
is one of the most serious and press
ing duties that confrOntS our people.
We believe that one of the greatest
evils under the present law is the
lack of uniformity in its enforcement
in the 246 cities and towns, each local
administration practically being a
law unto itself in this regard. AS a
first important step toward the re-
form of the tax law we recommend
to the General Assembly the amend
ment of the present statute to provide
for a state central authority in some
form that shall have some proper de-
gree of charge and oversight of the
local administration of the law in The
various cities and towns, to the end
that not only shall the present law
hereafter be uniformly and SmDar-
TALLY enforced as may be everywhere
throughout the state, but that the ex-
perience from such uniform AID i'm

the first time in the history of Yer

liable information helping to point

SANTA CRUZ, CAL. April 81
Although 1t is known that Jim
Jeffries' training quarters at
Rowardennan has not been cont
pleted, sufficient work has been
done to make 1t possible for the
big fellow to get down to the
three months grind.

thorough have been the arrange
ments that 1t will be possible for
Jeffries to include swimming and
rowing in the schedule. The
beautiful San Lorenzo river, which
is little more than a mountain
stream at its best, is being
damned near the camp, giving II
sufficient depth for boating and
bathing. The hill road passes

TY COBB DOES AS HE PLEASES
AND DETROIT CLUB OWNER GRINS

Ty Cobb, the flying Georgian of
the Detroit team, winners of the
American league pennant, refused
to report to Manager Hugh Jen-
nings at San Antonio, where the
Detroit club trained this spring.
In an interview in Detroit,
Frank Navin, executive owner of
the Detroit teams, says Cobb need
not report until the opening day
of the season. unless he desires.
OF course 1t was sometimes nee
essary to make concessions to star
players, but it seems to an observ-
err that Nevin is setting dargtr-
Gus precedent in permitting "The
Peach" to have his own sweet way
about reporting.
Suppose some of the other De-
troit stars get bunch that they
too desire to avoid the spring
training; and they are Just as
much entitled to consideration as
Is OOUD. w nat II ldii AoA ohC -
good for another in this case.
And carrying out the thing, sup
pose that all the stars on other
clubs decided that they wanted to
sidestep the spring business and
not join their respective clubs UNI
til the day of the opening cham
pionship game. Fine business,
Ell?
Frank Navin takes Cobb's view
of the case because he can't help
himself. The Detroit club tried to
put the skids under the brilliant
native of Royston upon a former
occasion and missed 1t a mile.
Ever since the club has been de-
cidedly submissive to the desires
of the Georgian whirlwind.
It's great to be star but for his
own good Cobb shouldn't take
himself too seriously.

think that the ex-boilermaker will

Delaney will not give an opin-

talks and the reluctance with
which he discusses affairs relating
to jeff quickly gives that Inn

For jeff and Delaney are no

Gilks, 81 was running the Toledo
team in the Interstate league Tor
Charlie Strobel. Prof. Lewis, tAe
finger billiardist and base ball
statistician, came to me and said;
'Gilks, I've found a pitcher VINO
is wonder. He's playing college
and semi-professional ball in the
wilds of Wisconsin, and II you get
him and he makes good all want
is s25. His name is Joss
81 went after Joss and signed
him. When he showed up at To-
ledo he looked like an animated
bean pole. He seemed about SIX
and half feet tall and weighed
more than rs pounds, but not
much more.
"Joss was weakling then. He
would go into a game and pitch
every kind of curve and bender
flor three innings. Then he'd get
tired and I'd have to take HIM
out. He complained of pains and
/ took him to a doctor, who de-
cided Addie had growing pains.
"Joss went along this way all
year, and next season he showed
up sick again. The doctor gave
him some pills and cured him,
and Addie grew strong. He fillei
out and began to pitch like a
whirlwind.
-"Joss did so we'll the second
year I knew some big league club
would grab him so l told Strobel
and he decided to go to Addie $
home, invite him to spend a few
weeks in Toledo and keep him un-
der cover so no one would find
him.
"This was just before Easter
and Addie didn't want to leave
home until after that day. He
persuaded Strobel to return TO
Toledo promising to follow later.
And a couple of days afterwar1
Bill Armour slipped into Juneau

This is the story told by Bob
Gilks, ex-big league pitcher, MI
nor league manager and now a
scout. He doesn't include the
fact, however, that Strobel never
paid Lewis that s25 for turning
up Addie Joss, although he al
mits 1t was with the understand
ing that he receive this much tina,
Lewis tipped off the whereabouts
of the present American league
