ball. The opening game is with Rock
Hill, next Saturday. in Baltimore.
Most of the material is inexperienced.
and it is likely that this will prove a
great drawback to the team when il goes
up against VilIanova and Dickinson.
Bud Wymard, who last week quit
Georgetown and entered the school of
letters, has added materially to the
strength of the squad. He is being tried
out at tackle, and as he is heavy and
fast he should make good, although the
position is new to him.
Boyle, a big lad from Warren. Ohio.
is showing up well in practice. The work
of Herring and Waters, freshman line
candidates, is worthy OF mention. Time
and again during the scrimmages on
Friday this pair were through the var
sity line, breaking up plays before they
could get started. Kelly, who for three
years has played center on the Old Point
Comfort eleven. looks like a varsity pos
slbility. although in Cronin and Clark he
will find two good men who are out for
the job.

ON INCOME TAXES.

Morally, however, such person and pick
pocket are on one plane, the pickpocket excelling
his associate in courage.
Annually the New York papers print a list
of the heavy taxpayers. 1t is notable fact that
many of the names of the richest men there never
appear on this list at all.
A few years ago lawyer named Kennedy
died in New York, leaving fortune of $60000,-
600. So successfully had he evaded taxes that
he was not even suspected of being rich. D.
Willis lanes left an estate that went through
probate at 500, 100000. His name had won no
eminence on the tax list These are only sam
piles.
Meanwhile the wage-earner continues to pay
a tax on his wife's sewing machine, perhaps be-
cause it is too bulky to hide and of too little value
to lie about.
The Washington herald., 1912-10-06

An income tax would not be effective if peo-
pie were permitted to lie about their incomes
A very simple method of discouraging lies in
this connection would be to arrest the offenders
for perjury, send them to jail, and confscate half
of the value of the property lied about
OF course, this is the theory of mere lay
man, and possibly not fawless The idea is sug-
gested by the fact that New York capitalists are
now transferring their money to New Jersey so
as to escape paying their taxes. At the proper
time they will swear that they have no taxable
property in New York, and having so sworn, will
bring the property back.
That person who would steal by this devious
process would pick pocket, can hardly be at
hrmed, since the pocket would not be apt to have
enough in it to make the venture worth while.

Call For The Pink Ballot

OoAAs GVAtz NC Z INK .08llOC
The amendments to the state con-
stitution which will be voted on in
the November election will be print
ed on a pink ballot. The first on on
the ballot is the "Good Roads Amend
ment' as fathered by Bob Dunn and
passed by the state legislature.
This amendment provides that in
stead of a road and bridge tax Of one
fourth of a mill year as at present,
the legislature can levy tax up to
and including one mill. The present
law brings in about 100000 a year
to the state road and bridge fund.
If passed, the amendment will bring
100000 to the fund each year.
To the careless mind, this will
seem like large increase in taxation
but the farmer and business man in
Bemidji and vicinity will realize that
j the increase will fall largely on the
three big cities of the state and that
low land values will make the addi-
tional burden unfelt here. --
On the other hand, the three big
cities will share in the proceeds of
the taxation for the amendment pro-
vides for that contingency, but it
will be the country counties that
will benefit most. We need good
roads in Northern Minnesota and
with big state fund combined with
the county and private property mo-
ney which is available under the Ell
we'll law, the North Country will
soon be a net work of well built high
ways.
Voters should remember one thing
of Importance. 10 be passed, the
amendment must secure a majority
of the votes cast at the election.
Therefore, no vote is vote against.
Any voter who does not understand
the amendment can ask his neigh
bors so that he can cast his ballot
intelligently, but the failure to re-
cord vote will have the same effect
as casting a negative vote.
Elsewhere in the Pioneer tonight
can be found a fac simile of the
amendment. '"Vote for it! Work
for it," Northern Minnesota needs

James L. George.

James L. George, the present coun-
ty auditor, is an official that the vot-
ers of Beltrami county cannot afford
to lose. He was given the Republi-
can nomination at the September
primaries and will be opposed at the
polls in November by G. w. Conway,
candidate on the Socialist ticket.
Mr.. George took over the aditor's
Office when the books were in bad
shape, work was piling up faster
than the force could handle it, and
when the Office was said by state
officials to be one of the worst audi
tors Office in the state. By hard
work, Mr.. George has brought the
Office to point where the state pub
lie examiner says that it is one of the
best in the state. 49,.
BY recognizing his Office force, by
working late hours, by always being
ION the job himself, by surrounding
himself with clerks who are not
afraid of hard work, Mr.. George has
succeeded in bringing the Office to a
state of efficiency whereby the bust
ness can be handled as rapidly as it
comes in. BY corefully buying the
supplies of the county, he has saved
many thousands of dollars which
were formerly wastefully expended.
James L. George is an efficient
county servant, has at all times been
ready and eager to serve the people
as whole rather than any one class
and is an auditor with whom the
people feel safe. Changes are costly
and when unnecessary are sheer
waste of money. Mr.. George should
be returned for another two years.

Explaining Marquard's Run.

The inherent power Of the Giant rush upon onense
in large measure explains Marquards ability to win
eighteen straight games not taking any vast amount
of credit from the Rube for his continued steadness
The idea is ths-Johnson, Of the Senator's and Mar
guard of the Giants, each have worked in eighteen
games. Marquard has all eighteen and Johnson has
twelve and lost six
Yet Johnson in his eighteen contests has held op-
ponents to thirty-three runs while the Rube in his
eighteen battles has yielded forty runs-ten runs
above the Smokebal Swede.
Johnson has permitted less than two runs to the
game-Marquard about two and a half Johnson has
pitched thirteen games in which he held opponents
two runs or less-Marquard but nine.
But the bulk of the answer lies here In his
eighteen games the Senators have furnished johnson
with but sixtyseven in Marquards eighteen VIC
tories the Giants have donated the Rube 121
Johnson has had average Of three and half
each battle to work on, Marquard six and half.
Joe Wood has won sixteen out of nineteen starts,
but Wood, like Marquard has had the heavy artillery
at work behind him. with 113 counted in his nine
teen games, while being tapped upon his hood for
fyfve allies, about three to the battle Not for
getting that Nap Rucker has ten out Of seventeen

Sphere Was Used IS Years
Ago in First Champion
ship Game on Record.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, July 1.-The old
est baseball in the world and the one
that was used in the first championship
game on record is now in possession Of
a sporting goods house in Kansas City.
After drifting around this part Of the
country for fifty-five years, 1t has been
covered with gold leaf, mounted in a
handsome case containing a placard
with the history Of the ball written on
IT. and now is an object of interest to
the fans.
The ball is ten inches in circumfer-
ence, an inch larger than the regulation
one of the present time, and is covered
with one piece of leather. 1t was used
in the game between the Intermount-
ain team, Of Boston. and the Portland.
Me. team. September 9, 1857, the first
championship game ever played, which
was won bv the Portland club, AZ to a.
1t was the first game In which the
nine inning rules prevailed, and the
first one in which the ball was pitched
instead of tossed. The game was play
ed on the Boston Commons.
The ball formerly was owned by Josh
Westerhouse. of Dunlap, Kan, who, at
the age of thirteen years, was bat boy
for the Intermountain men. He obtain
ed possession of It after the game, and
when he moved to Kansas. several years
later, brought the ball with him. Years
ago he gave II to p. NJ. white, Of En-
poria, who has owned 1t since.

Wilbur Roach, the speedy shortstop
of the Jersey City club, of the Inter-
national League, is expected to report
here today or tomorrow in exchange for
Jack Knight, the Nationals utility in
fielder. Roach may be sent in to play
second base at once unless Ray Morgan
recovers from his "charleyhorse." He
has been playing a sensational game for
Jersey City in the shorttield, and is just
now travelling at top speed.
Both Knight and Roach were former
ly members of the Highlanders. the lat

last spring by Hal Chase after falling to

good ball. and 1t is believed that Jack
Ryan. the Nationals coach and former
manager Of the Jersey City club, has
recommended him to Manager Griffith
Klght failed to report this year for
training at Charlottesville, and never
got going as result. He has played
but few games for the Nationals at

Take Chances Sliding
To First, Says Oldring

Rube Oldring, the Athletics center
fielder and slugger, says a man takes
a chance of injury in sliding to first.
particularly II It is a bunt. and the
pitcher and first baseman rs we'll as
possibly the second baseman Of the op-
posing team are all playing in for the
play. The runner is likely not only to
be spiked by one or two of the players,
but is generally awarded the worst of
the decision.
, Take, for instance, our team. which
has been mixing in the bunting game
with the other varieties says he.
Out of about twenty attempts, Eddie
Collins and Amos Strunk are about the
only men to have landed safely this
season, and l don't think Baker or my
self are such slow men on our feet,
and neither of us has beat tine throw
out of at least q half dozen attempts
Then. again" continued Rube,' "the
game has gotten down to such a de-
gree that it's next TO impossible or else
exceptionally good luck that a fellow
can bunt safe, with such lightning-likc
fielding as the teams show nowadays"

BINGLES AND BUNTS
By Grdntland Rice.

Learned metaphysicians Of the dope-renowned
psychologists from Bugdom-are apparently deeply
stirred over the phenomenon of the Giants piing up

man, the edge is apparently only slight.
Any number of these students-and close ones
have written in for explanation per this samples
Every one knows he writes that Chance and Clarke
are great leaders, to be compared about equally to
McGraw. Take, for example then, the Giants and
Pirates Kelley and Gibson compare we'll with Meyers,
great as the Indian Is. Adams Camntz, OToole and
Hendrix are fully upon par with Marquard Mathew
son, Ames, Crandal Wiltse. Merkle and Doyle are
better than Miller and Mccarthy but Wagner is better
than Fletcher. and Byrne pairs off with Herzog Will
son, Donn, Carey and Holman compare evenly with
Snodgrass, Devore Becker and Murray at least

him before many weeks
Hovlik was with the Chicago White

White Sox. Hovlik faced the Nationals
and met with fair success.

Moeller Almost Ready.
Daredevil Dan" Moeller. the Roch-

his patented cola psble shoulder. His
old harness has been repaired and he
will use it until the new one is ready.
my shoulder feels pretty good,
