SCALE IS
ADOPTED
COUNTY BOARD MAKES
GENERAL REDUCTION
IN ASSESSMENTS

The board OF equalization, composed
O. f. j. Oberholzer, chairman John
0'Nell, :. J. Favor and Chas Lee,
clerk, yesterday evening completed
their work OF equahzating the as
SCISSORS returns and passed resolu-
lions reducing the assessed valuation
OF the county on sliding scale of
rom ten to twenty-five per cent from
the amount returned.
About eighty-four per cent Of the
complaints filed are eliminated by the
action on the part OF the board.
Mr., Oberholzer. chairman of the
board, speaking on the subject said
We did what we thought was best
for the big majority of the people.
There is no doubt in the minds of the
members of the board as TO what the
desires of the people in this matter
are. 1t was not necessary to prove il
they all waived the proof and ad-
mitted il The people believed the
assessment was too high. based on the
lYesent value Of property in the cities
and country. Ninety per cent OF
those asking for a reduction declared
they would willingly sell the property
or the price they asked TO have il re-
duced 10.
By unanimous vote OF the board
a new assessment of the personal
property of Crescent was ordered TAX
en. With this exception. there will be
no change in the personal property
rolls OF the county.

snce,s may file a petition with the

Proposed Amer Eng

1t will be seen by the proposed scale
OF weights that the poundage has been
increased materially in all the classes
except the bantamweight. This class
is now fixed at 116 pounds. The new
scale proposed is lis pounds. This ia
three pounds less than the English
rules demand.
The commission" class is a new
one. 1t seeks to establish a brigade
OF fighters. known during the past few
years as "light-heavy," but which had
no standing as a distinctive class.
This commission class will call for
lighters weighing ITS pounds or less,
and will give such men as Gunboat
Smith and Sailor Burke a chance to
compete with men Of their weight. The
heavy class will be open to all who
weigh more than ITS pounds.
The question of when will the men
weigh In arose during the formulation
OF the new scale. 1t was decided that
the men weigh in at the ring side.
Those In control are of one mind for
a universal code of rules and weights
and 1t is only a matter of six weeks or
months before the rules will be
Uniform.

Already we ind this to be true. The

FAVOR MANAGERS WHO PLAY
Club Owners Are Said to Have llttIa
Ose for "eench" Directors
killlfer Worked Hard.

baseball owners are of the opinion
That a playing manager is of greater
value to a club than one who directs
from the bench. In choosing a man
they usually strive to get one who
can participate actively in the con-
tests throughout the season. Charlie
Doom, leader of the PHILADELPHIA Ma
tional league team, holds the belief
that while a playing manager may
be preferable. he ought not to be a
backstop, as he, Doom, Is.
1t will be remembered that Doom
did little catching last season. He
wOs out for a while owing to an in
1ured leg, but allowed ki'lifer TO do
most Of the catching even when he
was in condition.
Doom also is credited with the
statement that a catcher should not
be q manager. He declares that q
young pitcher cannot do himself JUS
tice with the director behind the
plate. In straining himself to demon
strate to the chief what he possesses
In the way of speed he often outdoes
himself, consequently failing to get
the best results. Doom has found it
this way while catching the young
sters, and therefore allowed Killlfer
to o the mask nearly all the time.

but 1T soon scattered to the other
side. I suffered a great deal. especial
ly at night, on account Of it's itching
and burning. l would scratch it and
or course that irritated it very much.
This rash was on my face for about
TWO years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
1t kept me from sleeping day or night
for a couple of months. My face look
