CORPORATION TAX /
RECEIPTS LARGE

snington, May S.-Receipts from|
the corporation tax will exceed by
nearly a million dollars Secretary Mac
Veaghs estimated s25000,00O made
early in December. This is the latest
calculation made by the internal rev.
enue office, which has almost completed
the examination of the returns from
corporations on which the tax is as
sessed. When business closed last
week. s25,319,715 had been assessed.
Half a million more is expected. The
figures given out are subject to re-
vision, but the changes will not be ma
terial. There was general DISPOSE
ton manifested by corporations to COM
ply with the law requiring returns to
be made, said Mr.. Cabell, the commits
sioner of internal revenue. About $780,
900 returns, reporting $4,000 corpora
lions, were made; 100000 corpora lions
were listed when the law imposing the
tax became operative. Many were dead
ones" and great NUMBER such as
mutual savings banks and beneficial
and fraternal organizations, were ex-
empt from the provisions of the law.

catching department shows up as we'll as
expected, his team will be hard to head
off.
Atlanta has been touted as one of the
big wheels of the Southern league wagon,
but IN the four games played here and
the two contests they won from Chatta-
ncoga in Atlanta, they failed to show the
class they must have if they stick.
Two clubs-Atlanta and Nashville
have catching stats which are perhaps
the equal of the Lookouts; maybe some
critics will give the Cracker and Volunteer
receivers the shade the best of it.
"On first base we have Pete Lister
who is easy the leader of them all. Barr
is perhaps the next best bet with Whit
ney a close second.
'Wanner of Memphis seems to have the
call at second, although Patterson and
Jordan are mighty live wires around that
bag. However, Wanner showed class here
which even the great Jordan did not ex-
hibit.
''Yerkes takes the honors at short, with
Crandall of Memphis next up. Sentell is
no doubt a good man. Lynch did not
last long enough yesterday to get a line
on his work. 1t is a cinch that he has
nothing on Yerkes however
we don't want to be a hog about
claiming the infieid honors but if there is
a third-sacker in the league who has any
thing on Perry, nelding and hitting both
considered, they will certainly have to
trot him out Walker of Atlanta looks
better than the rest
There are a lot of good outtielders on
the four northern division clubs. The
Nashville club has three fast men, and
each is considered a star. Bayless of
Atlanta is certainly a shifty individual
and Baerwald of Memphis seems to be
faithful performer However, In Collins,
Dobbs and McLaurin, Chattanooga can
boast of a trio that will make them all
go some. Perhaps, as whole the Nash
Vile outfelders have a little something
on them, but 1t would take long time
to convince the fans here that such a
statement is true.
1.-The Lookout twirling staff will show
up with the best of them. There is GER
tainiy nothing in the northern division
that looks any better than ours. and New
Orleans will have to hustle If they con

that Frank has collected
Just a present the Lookouts are on
the top OF the heap. and while they have
put comparatively little chance of coming
back from the road trip still in the van.
they certainly look the equal of any club
that has showed at Andrews field this

BIG ENTRY LIST FOR
THE KENTUCKY DERBY

Louisville, May S.-Although an all-day
downpour Saturday, that at times nearly
reached the proportions Of cloudburst,
soaked the Churchill Downs track through
and through at least 10 horses will face
the starter for the thirty-sixth running of
the Kentucky derby Tuesday, May 10.
Discounting possible showers between
now and the time the horses go to the
post it seems certain that the track will
not be at its fastest, but the field will
be the largest to start in the event for
over 10 years. The revival of the old
custom of admitting the public free into
the "field'' or oval inclosed by the track,
will doubtless. bring out a record-break-
ing crowd Waldo will probably carry
the bulk of the public money, with Dora,i
q close second in popular esteem. Follow
Ing are the entries with weights and
jockies:

CONCERNING OUR NEIGHBORS

The clubs of the northern end of the
circuit. beginning today, will enter the
territory of the southern.
When the invasio is concluded the fans
will have a pretty fair angle from which
to judge the comparative strength of the
several aggregations.
At the present writing Chattanooga,
Montgomery and New Orleans have
shown the others of the league a clean
set of heels. But the race Is just begun
and whether or not the clubs In the van
at present will be able to get into the
general scramble remains to be seen.
In Birmingham we have seen the teams
of the southern half of the circuit.
To date, Birmingham and Mobile have
failed to keep up with Montgomery and
New Orleans. but it cannot be said that
the two behind are outclassed by those
who are to the front. And Birmingham
is strengthening and will continue 10
strengthen, it is hoped and believed, and
1T is not certain as yet by any means that
the middle of September will find US
keeping company with the unfortunates
of the second division.
AS throwing light on the northern di-
vision teams. an article in a recent ISSUE
of the Chattanooga News will serve a pur-
pose. Joe Curtis, the author, is endeavor-
ing to prove that Chattanooga is stronger
than either Atlanta, Nashville or Mem
phis. We do not intend to convey the
idea by the reproduction of the following
that we believe in the conclusions of the
Cha ttanooga scribe, but simply publish
what he has to say in order that local
fans might have a slight insight into the
strength of the clubs which we will en-
counter during the ensuing fortnight
"All four of the northern division clubs
of the Southern league have been seen in
action here, and We have yet to see the
team which has anything on the Look
outs
IF the bunch that Dobbs has selected
con pares favorably with the southern
division clubs as II does with the clubs of
this section. the fans will have little cause
TO complain.
"Of the three out-of-town teams seen in
notion here. we must hand the palm to
Memphis. If Babb gets another pitcher

MANAGER JORDAN
CLAIMS VICTORY

Memphis, May ecial)-Gamblers
who have made habit of betting on all
local games were put completely. at sea
by the freak ending of Sundays game
when by mutual agreement the game was
called at 4:20 p. m. to permit the Atlanta
team to catch a train.
Atlanta had made one run in their tenth,
but the Memphians had not received their
tenth inning when Umpire Pfenninger
called d halt. causing the contest to revert
to the even inning, to 0 score.
Manager Jordan further complicated
matters by claiming victory as he marched
off the field and many bets were paid
by people ignorant of the official rules.
