Score Three In First.

Drohan is the man who humbled
Keokuk in the opening game of the
season. Yesterday he hurled great
ball, allowing Keokuk but four hits.
Unfortunate for him came pass in
the first, followed by hit, an error
and a sacrifice For the first round
on Keokuk was helpless.
Bresnahan looked them over as a
lead and was given a pass Penning-
ton shot fast bunt straight to Dro-
han and Bresnahan would have been
forced at second base had the pitcher
thrown perfectly AS it resulted he
heayed low and both runners were on,
advancing to third and second respect
fully.
Reichle, hero of the second Gales
burg game, and who has been finding
the ball with persistent regularity
during the past week, slashed the
first offering from Drohan and il
SKINNED second base, going at a
merry clip. 1t is likely that both run.
ners would have counted on the
drive, but Fitzpatrick made ii safe BY
permitting the ball to go through him
Reichle did not stop racing until he
was on third. Then came the clever
Jansen, who has faculty of doing
things in pinch Twice in the Gales
burg series he scored runner in the
first inning and yesterday he pro
duced long drive, high up, in left
field, which went for sacrifice
Reichle scoring. Drohan then settled
down and whitfield Hilly and Belt.

HANNIBAL. Mo. July 29-That the
Hannibal baseball club will be retain
ed here to finish out the season under
an entirely new directorate, seems to
be the concensus of opinion here to-
night. Evidence points that way, but
the matter will not be definitely set
tied until Monday morning. Arrange
ments have been made by the league
TO settle with the players on an equita-
Bile basis. If Hannibal baseball men,
who are now making an effort to
form new association, are not sue
cessful in their efforts, outside mag
mates will take control and it is high
ly probable that the club will then
be moved to some other city.
Central Association baseball mag.
mates were in conference early this
afternoon and after the baseball game
but much of the business transacted
was done in executive session and the
league has been quite reserved in its
statements. 1t has not been announced
what percentage the players will re
ceive, but the offer is said to be the
most liberal that has ever been made
to players in the history of baseball.
The league is under no obligation,
but feels that the men should have
their money.
To Confer With Committee.
While it is not known what Hanni-
bal men are back of the movement
to form the new directorate it is the
report that the well known and In
fluential contracting firm of O'Don-
nell and Mason is responsible for the
move. They have been in session
with league committee composed of
President NJ E. Justice, Louis Sterne
and Tom Hayden, of Burlington and
on Monday will close the deal, or
throw it up. The month of August
will be started with clean financial
slate
The league has also declined to
make public the outside magnates
who want franchise From good au.
thority. however, it is learned that
Tom Hayden, who now owns the Bur
lington club, is in the field at the head
OF syndicate. In the meantime
Hannibal will continue to play ball
with Galesburg. two games being
scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
Whether Jake Beckley will be re.
tanned as manager is question to be
decided by the new directors. He is
on players contract and can be cut
loose at any time The old directors
will relinquish all connection with
the game in business way.

Game in Record Time,

And to add interest to the battle
Young Jack Kennedy, as he styles
himself, pulled it off in Just one hour
and twelve minutes, equalling the
Central Association record for the
season recently established by Umpire
Glenalvin.
UNFOLDING his reputation as some
lead off, man, Berghammer started
the fireworks in the first round which
resulted in him getting credit for a
hit. He laid down pretty bunt
which was SO slow that Pennington,
hurrying the play, threw a trifie high.
The runner was safe and was given
the benefit of the doubt as to hit or
an error
Fitzpatrick hunted to Murray and
Berhammer was forced at second
Hubartt drove one into Jansen and
Fitzpatrick was forced at second. Lo-

than FIVE runners being forced at sec

Capt. S. r. Donohoe Of Fairfax, Va,
selected by Gov. Mann to fill the vacancy
in the authorship OF the state caused
by the death Of Col. Morton Marye o,
Alexandria, has taken charge Of the
office in the state library building at
Richmond.
Capt. Donohoe, who has many friends
in this city, is a newspaper man. He
founded a paper at West Point Va, but
sold 1t to remove to Fairfax county when
he established the Herald about twenty
years ago. He also founded the Even
ing Sun Of Alexandria, which he sold
to Charles Thompson of this city, and
of which the late Col. Page McCarty
was editor. This paper was merged with
the Alexandria Times and went out of
existence about ten years ago. Capt
Donohoe represented his county in the
Virginia state senate for several terms
and could have been a member of that
body indefinitely had he not positively
refused, finally. to allow his name to go
before the county convention.
In the Spanisll-American war Mr..
Donohoe was elected second lieutenant
of the Fairfax company, attached to the
Sd Virginia Regiment and commanded
by Capt. Joseph Willard. When Willard
was made a colonel and assigned to staff
duty Lieut.. Donohoe was elected captain
of the company.
. The appointment as Virginia state au-
ditor came to Capt. Donohoe unsolicited.
He was picked by Gov. Mann from a
long list as being the best-fitted man in
the state for the Office. He accepted the
appointment to hold Office until the legs-
lature elects his successor. He Is the
second auditor Virginia has had. On the
creation of the Office in the seventies
Col Morton Marye of Alexandria was
elected to the Office and held the position
until his death. less than month ago.

levying OF an income tax under the
amendment proposed would enable the
national government to tax incomes de-

under the authority of the states, and
would place the borrowing capacity of the
state at the mercy of the federal taxing

Among the nations Of Europe the ex-

common. England has taxed incomes at
different times for over a century. It
was used in that country for the first time
In 1913. 1t was a war measure growing
out Of the necessity for putting great
armies in the field to cope with France
and Napoleon. William Pitt suggested it
when other methods of raising revenue
were falling. 1t was repealed after the
battle of Waterloo, but later re-enacted.
Gladstone tried ursuccessfully in 1874 to
get 1t repealed, and since then the taxa
ton OF incomes in England has continued
as an unbroken policy. France has adopt
ed the income tax. Italy has an income

taxed by the German states, the cantons
