Joe McGinnity. manager Of the Newark

opinion that the pitchers mound is doomed
and that hereafter the twrler must be on

For his race on January a lie had abso-
lutely no preparation. and ne realizes that
the day has passed when he can expect to
beat his rivals without training. New
comers are improving so rapidly that even
lie must be ar his best TO win, and one
must commend his decision in retiring at
the zenith Of his career, much as all will
regret his loss.

TAXES THIS YEAR
Volume of Assessable Property
Increases 1911 Revenues
in the County.
Se2,6e2.77 COMES TO CITY
Personal Levy in Moline Higher Than
That of Neighbor Due to
Corporations.

The extension of taxes for Rock Is
land county for the year 1910 was
completed in the county clerks Of
fee. These taxes are TO be collected
during the present year. The rapid
growth and development of the county
is evidenced by the increase of $780,
234,2s in the amount of taxes which
will be collected this year compared
to those collected last year This does
not meant that the rate of taxation has
been raised, but that the amount of
taxable property has increased. The
taxes are based upon an assessed val
uation which is equal to one-third of
the real value as declared by the
owners and assessors.
WHERE MONEY GOES.
The county itself gets about one
seventh of the total amount collected,
the remainder belonging to the schools,
bridges, towns, municipalities, state,
etc. To be exact, the taxes belonging
to the county to be used for county
purposes is 1921, OS35S The city of
Rock Island gets $92.692.77 out of the
total levy and in addition there is a
bond tax of $2,2O2.5S. The schools of
the city get s117,643.94 TO be used for
school purposes. Moline, city and
schools, get practically the same
the other towns and villages in the
county get shares in proportion.
REAL ESTATE FIGURES.
Lands and lots in the city of Rock
Island represent an assessed valua-
ton of s4,250,394, and the personal
property is valued at $1,392,031, this
latter. being an increase over last
years figures of about $4,000. In Mo-
line the lands and lots are assessed
at $3,595,511 and the personal proper
ty at $2,1S4,126. This latter amount
exceeds the like figure of Rock Island
personal property principally through
the levying of the corporation tax
which adds greatly to the assessed
valuation of personal property. Should
this corporation tax fail of collection
through injunction from the courts,
the value of the two cities personal
property will be about equal.
Hampton township, containing as
square miles, presents the rather I'M
usual feature CT returning in taxes

BASKETBALL TEAMS
FORM TWO LEAGUES
Interesting Events Arranged for Feb
ruary and March at the
Y. III. &. A.

Two basketball leagues have been
organized at the Y. NJ. C. A and a
schedule of games has been arranged
by c. E. Gilman, director of physical
training. One Of these leagues is
made up of members of the intermed-
late department and consists of four
teams. It will be known as the
class A team. The other is of the
same number OF teams and is made
up of members of the working boys
class. A series of six games has been
arranged for both leagues and two
games will be played on each date.
The intermediate teams will play in
the afternoon and the working boys
team will play in the evening. The
teams which head the list at the end
of the tournament will play for the
Y. NJ. c. A. championship after the
schedule is completed. 1t is possible
that a silver loving cup will be Of
fered TO the winning team.
The schedule for class A teams is
as follows:
Jan. 27-Centerless and Dodgers.
Feb. 3-Knockers and Busters.

FEW oNE-NIGHT STANDS.

In selecting the route for the Aborn
English Grand Opera company for
this, its first tour of America, Messrs.
Milton and Sargent Aborn chose only
such cities as have shown by their
patronage of other musical offerings
of higher class that there - a goodly
proportion of music lovers among
their population. r. H. Dewey, the
advance representative of the Aborn
organization, explain ed this IDEA in de.
tail. at is peculiar fact" he said,
that a city has a marked individuali-
~, as we have found by experience. OF
course you will find in every commun-
ity certain number of persons who
like this or that form of entertain
ment, but the only question is whether
there are enough of them to form a
clientele. You will find a larger pro-
portion in one city than you do In an
other who like a certain class OF
amusement, aid the majority rules 10
such an extent that the few who like
enced by the larger number, and as in
a doubtful jury, the minority give up
their preferences and agree with the
majority. Consequently it appears
that one city is fond of dramatic of
ferings of the 'high-brow' type, an
other patronizes only musical comedy,
another likes sensational or cheap Of
ferings, while another gives its largest
attendance to grand opera or other
presentations of music of the higher
sort. We make our selections by choos-
ing those cities that have given the
largest support to the great vocal
stars, the big bands and orchestras that
have toured the country, and similar
attractions"
The Aborn company will appear in
only four cities in Illinois and plays
only about a dozen one-night engage
ments on its entire season. At the
Illinois theatre next Sunday night, the
offering will be Verdis richly melo-
dious and universally popular III Tro-
vatore"

st. Louis, Mo, Jan. 25.-Contestants

big scores were needed to win prizes

sensational attacks on the pins were

Play in the individual event also
was of championship caliber, Charles

and nine on his last ball.
Gus Doisy of the famous Moerleins

followed with 252 as his middle game
in which he threatened all congress

strikes. He rolled a ninth strike, but
it proved to be on the wrong alley and

No Man Over I5 Need Apply.
There's a sign that's getting TO be

A man with gray hair always

in anticipation of the readjourned an

booked for the Palmer house tomor-

the Waterloo franchise. with possibili-

ruption Of the league.
TEARNEY BUSY.
President Tearney. who was busy
arming himself for defense, said he had
no idea how the meeting would result
Recent advices, he said. were to the
effect the Waterloo club owners were
endeavoring TO enlist the other north
ern clubs of the circuit in a movement
TO bolt the league in case action is
taken TO GUST Waterloo. To the best
of his information, he said, that did not
seem TO be likely to happen. The 9th

look with favor on a proposition to

HAsWELL IN VAUDEVILLE.

Vaudeville has claimed Miss Percy
Hasweil. At the Majestic theatre,
Chicago, on Jan. 30, she will appear for
the first time in a playlet by Allan
FawcetI called Master Wills Play
ers,' the VIII in this instance re-
ferring to the immortal bard. Miss
Haswell is a wellknown stock actress
and has also appeared in many metro
politan successes. She has also play
ed Shahespearian roles, which fact, in
the main. is responsible for the writ
ing of Master Wills Players" In the
sketch Miss Haswell plays dual role
that of Lady Alice Pemberton and
Master Savage. The scene is laid IN a
room of the White Hart Inn during
the Elizabethian period. Robert Wyn-
wood, leading man OF Her Majesty's
Players, receives a visit from Master
Savage, who brings a note from
who asks the actor to
test him in such parts as he sees fit''

his company. The lad plays scenes

has begun 10 suspect that his south

hold a meeting was frustrated by the
injunction obtained by Waterloo re-
straining the magnates from voting 10
terminate its membership That order
was modified by the superior court so
as to permit the league to vote on the
proposition. At the same time the
court forbade the other club owners
to exclude Waterloo's representatives
from the meeting.
RESULT IN DOUBT.
What the result of the vote will be
tomorrow no one seems 10 know.
President Tearney said he did not
know, but thought the four southern
clubs would vote to vacate Waterloo's
membership. in accordance with the
agreement under which the club was
admitted, and take in Quincy If the
northern clubs stick by Waterloo a
deadlock is likely. with prospects of in
definite delay before il is broken
The formation of a 10-club league
by the admission of Quincy and De
catur has been suggested as one solu-
ton. Another is the absolute divorce
of the two factions, which have been
at war for years, and the formation of
two new circuits. Meantime the Quin-
cy club finds itself in much the same
situation as Mr. McCutcheons quaran-
the Central association, it's place has
been filed, and now there doesn't seem
to be any place for it to light"
