QUESTION LEGALITY OF PROPOSED RAISES Montgomery Citizens Move That Tax Cases Be
 Dismissed

Montgomery, October 7.-tSpecial9- Questioning the legality of proposed tax raises in Montgomery county on the ground that the state tax commission did not legally cite property owners to show why their assessments should not be raised, attorneys for Montgomery county tax protestants appeared before the tax board Monday and moved that the cases be dismissed
 The questions were submitted 10 Attor- ney General Robert C. Brickell and cases where attorneys were employed were postponed pending the decision. Others were settled by compromiss while some assessments were raised by default.
 The attorneys raised two other points, contending that the board of revenue as the board of equalization had already passed on the assessments, and that the code provides that the tax commission shall sit at the capitol"
 E Judge A A. Evans, member Of the tax board, construed the code to mean the .'capital of a county instead of the state capitol"
 Six hundred property owners have been cited to show why their assessments should not be raised.

Previous World Series

The first baseball game recorded as played for the championship of the world was in 1884, when Providence of the National league defeated the Metro politans of New York, 3 to o. In the 27 years since then there have been Is other world series staged, the last eight of which, since 1903, have been under auspices of the national baseball com mission.
 The Boston Americans won this first series under the commission auspices from Pittsburg. In 1904, the following year, the Giants and Red Sox were, as now, the pennant winning clubs in the two leagues, but no world series was played. Thereafter however, the games have been arranged annually, and In the eight years there have been 4S games played, of which the National league clubs have won "A and one was tied.
