Jack Graney, OF the Maps. is a humor-

Joined the team he was a pitcher. His
twirling was not up to major league
standard. yet he held on for months as
a pitcher.
Some of the Detroit players recall how
Graney downed the Tiger aggregation in

ago. When he was sent to the Coast
some of the Tigers mailed postals telling
him he was where he belonged. To these

BOUQUET AND DERRICK
FOR BOB GROOM

On the old Washington grounds the
clubhouse was in light fidd. When q
player was removed from he game he
had to march past the cowd TO the
teams quarters in the Quilted. said UNI
plre Billy Evans at recent aiming bee,
and he added:
Bob Groom, the clever t1Irler. was
presented with a bunch of forers before

"How?'' replied Groom.

Whereupon McAleer departed while the

and then Dalton stepped back to his own
30-yard mark for 4 try at goal from a
placement. GnChrist held the ball and
the oval sped true as a die through the
uprights for the only score of the game
and another Navy victory was added be-
cause of the skill of this young man.
Reyes kicked off for the Army, and
the Navy made a few short gains when
Dalton punted. The kick was partially

kicked out of bounds on the Army's 81

: yards. Hyatt punted to Nichols on the
Nays 25-yard line, where time was
called for the end of the first half

Hyatt kicked from West Points 25-

Middle pickets were steadier on the de-
fensiYe.
Browne. the Washington boy and for
mer Technical High School star, did not
start the game for West Point. but went
in later, and did much better than Dean.
1t invariably happens that when the
Army and Navy teams clash in their
annual game. strategy and tricks are
at each other tooth and nail Straight.
hard Old-fashioned football is on tap
from the gong. Such was the case this
afternoon.
Forward Pass Too Late.
In the final quarter the West Pointers
were staring ) to score in the face,
and instead of continuing to use the same
old formations and plays, which the Navy
had solved before the game was half
over. they should have had something
up their sleeves. True, the Soldiers in
desperation attempted three forward
passes when time WAS nearly up, but this
trick should have started with the open
ing of the period.
The attack of both eIevens was very
similar. Nays best ground gamer was
4 fake kick, from which formation a half
back would take the ball on a direct pass
and fight his way outside of tackle or be-
tween tackle and guard. Dalton and
ROdes were the most consistent gamers.
Dalton also made substantial gains sew
eral times on end runs from punt forma-
ton. The famous Minnesota shift used
with deadly effect against the Army last
year was not successful to-day. as the
Soldiers had perfected a good defense
for it.
The Army sprang a new Shift play that
puzzied the Middies a whole lot at first,
hut later they were able to smear it up
by quick charging. In the manipulation
of this play the entire team. with the
exception of the center, stepped back
formed a close ring, put their heads to-
gether a minute, and then jumped into
their places like lightning, with an end
and tackle sent to left or right. The
minute the men were in their places the
ball was snapped back. Mcdonald and
Keyes tore off several gains of from y
to Is yards around the ends before the
Navy solved the attack.
Songs n Feature of Game.
The game was the same spectacular
contest. Every MILDLY and West Pointer
carried small, gaudi1 painted mega
phones. The parade before the game and
the singing of songs between the halves
all add to the features of this gridiron
classic found nowhere else in the world
There was little or no betting on the
outcome among outsiders. West Pointers
asked and in many cases got to 4 odds
for their money.
An added feature of to-days game was
the presence of 1900 Pennsylvania under
graduates massed in one section of the
west stand. They refused to take sides
and cheered first the Army and then the
Navy.

ito Hyatt, who ran through a broken
field for % yards before he could be
brought to earth.
Mcdonald failed to gain on a fake
kick, and was thrown back for a 3-yard
loss. Hyatt punted, but the kick was
blocked, and Weems fell on the ball for
the Navy on the Army's 4O-yard mark,
where time was called at the end of the
third quarter.
Final Period.
RaIston went in at right tackle for
Redmond, which was the only change
in the Navy lineup.
On a fake kick GiIchrist could not
gain through the Army's line, and on
this scrimmage the Navy was set back
Is yards for holding. Rodes shot through
Arnold for yards, and Dalton punted
to Hyatt on the Army's .20-yard line.
Hyatt Immediately returned the COM
pliment. and it was Nays ball in mid
field. Dalton kicked to the Army's 10
yard mark, and Hyatt booted the bail
TO Nichols, who ran back 10 yards.
Rodes was thrown for loss on an end
run, and Dalton punted to Hoge on
the Army's E-yard line Hyatt was
slammed back for a 7-yard loss on an
end run, and puntcd to Nichols on the

but the punt was blocked. Arnold saved
the ball for the Soldiers on the Armys
S5-yard line. Hyatt booted to Rodes in
midfield. Rodes gained > yards through
Devore, and Dalton pUnted out of bounds
at the Army's 2S-yard line The Navy
was penalized Is yards for holding, and
Mcdonald got yards through the line.
Here the first forward pass of the game
was tried. Hyatt tossed the ball to Nc
Reavey. who dropped it, and Hyatt was
forced to kick. The ball lodged in Gill
christ's arms, and he was dropped in his
tracks on Navy's 23-yard line
On a fake kick Dalton skirted Gille-
spies end for yards. Nichols failed to
gain around the Armys right end, and
Dalton punted to Hyatt on the Armys
25-yard mark.
In desperation, as time was nearly up,
the Army tried another forward pass. but
it fizzled out badly. as Brown knocked
the ball out of Hyatts hands before he
could throw it, Hyatt kicked to Nichols
on the Arfn"'s 45-yard line. Nichols
failed to gain around Hoge's end, and
Dalton punted out of bounds at the
Army's 2O-yard line. Again the Soldiers
attempted to pull off the forward pass,
but the receiver dropped the ball and
Hyatt punted to midfield. Dalton crashed
through Devore and Arnold when the
timers whistle announced the end of the
game. Lineup and summary:

GROWTH OF STATE SHOWN BY VALUES
Land. Personally and Railroad Assessments Show De-
ve|opment Of State Since 1900.

The land assessment Of Mississippi,
as shown by statement just issued by
the state auditor, for 1910, is 1921 900,
869, ,588, or an increase of 500, 900, 900
since 1900, when the assessment was
$1S1, ,315, ,2Sl.
The personally for 1910 was $l1O,
7lS, ,772, against $57, 400, SSS in 1900, OF
an increase of over $50, 900, 900, while
the assessment Of the railroads shows
gain of about $22, 900 in 1910,
over 1909. The total land, personally
and railroad assessment for 1910 was
$685., COS, ,644. against $2l5, 765, 947 in
1900, or an increase in the total assess.
ment of nearly $20O, co. 900.
The polls have also shown steady
growth, but not in proportion to the
property values Of the state. In 1900
there were $50, 900 polls, while in 1910
there were 366, ,824, or an increase of
less than 100000. The polls in 1901
jumped to 291, ,s19; 1902, 200, ,765; 1908,
So5, ,421; 1904, an election year, there
was an increase of about 1900, the
total being S22, 99S; 1905 showed an in
crease of about 5000, to 1886, TOT. The
total in 1905 was 337, ,6l8; in 1907 they
jumped to S42, 1854, and in 1908 to 359,
794; in 1909 the polls were 1862, S65,
while in 1910 they had increased to
s65, ,S24. and 1911 will show another in
crease, but just how much it lie impos-
sible to say at this time. Many per-
sons paid their polls this year, believing
they would be entitled to vote. but
poll tax receipts for the last two years,
except in the case Of minor becoming
Of age, must be produced in order to
qualify as voter.
Another exception is where man
has been resident Of the state only
two years, but has raid all taxes as
sessed against him. though he has but
one poll tax receipt. The poll tax is
s2. and the schools of the several coun-
ties of the state receive handsome
revenue from this source.

JaDan'S Financial Strain.

Premier Katsura of Japan spoke
plainly to the bankers of his country
when he told them that there will be
no change in Japan's financial policy,
because the army and navy program
must be carried out in order, it is pre-
sumed, that England and other powers
may be impressed by the fact that Js-
pans alliance is valuable and her en-
nifty dangerous. But the question is,
how long can the country stand the
strain of its financial policy.
From all accounts, the public debt
has reached the 81, 800, 900, 900 mark,
and since the Chinese war in 1894 the
national budget has increased more
than 500 per cent, but production and
trade have failed to keep pace with
this growth. In the last five years
alone the revenue and expenditure
have nearly doubled. One-eighth Of
Japan's income is raised by tax on
land; one-tenth comes from liquors,
one-twentieth from customs and about
one-tenth from the salt and tobacco
monopolies.
These sources may be made to yield
more revenue, but the burden is al
ready severe and there is no longer any
doubt that Japan's ambition to take
and hold a position as a first-class
power is proving decidedly expensive.
Her army and navy are absorbing more
than 500, 900, 900 year, and while the
progress of the nation has been aston
ishing, every fresh report of national
enterprise brings up the question, can
it last? In the opinion of European f.
nanciers, it cannot last unless Japan by
extending her empire greatly increases
her revenues. IN. o. Times-Democrat
