Relative to an article appear
ing in the Herald of the 10th.
Tom Potwin admits that our ac-
cusations are correct as to his
charges for printing the tax lists
of 1910, and his attempted
charges for 1911, But he avows
that for 1909 he received S12 less
than the law allowed him Mr..
taxpayer. do you believe he could
by any possibility be guilty of
such an act of treachery against
his own interests? He admits
that in his bill for the 1911 tax
sale lists there was slight error
of 1913 3-but declares yolubly.
that it was done ENTIRELY
| THOUGHTLESSLY -- until the
commissioners demanded of him
to change the bill to a correct a..
mount. VERY THOUGHTLESS
of YOU, Potwin, to attempt to get
1913 dollars out of the tax payers
on only one bill We suppose,
Potwin would be looking for the
farmers to return this graft, if
the commissioners had paid the
I bill as originally made.

Editor Herald
In a circuIsr mailed from the
Treasurers office by the public
examiner, $75, 000.0O odd dollars
are shown to be on uand in the
First State Bank, The of the eX-
aminer is up to and including
May First 1912 at this time the
treasurers books does not show
disbursements made for seed
grain py the bank which amount
ed at that time to over $67, GOO.
Therefore the actual cash in the
First State Bank, May First, was
about $40, 600. The treasurer
could not give the Bank credit for
the disbursements for seed grain
until the seed grain notes had
been audited. thus the difference
in the amonnt of cash as shown
to be in the First State Bank.

the First State Bank of the seed
grain money showing the balance

DOPESTERS WONDER.
If CUBS CAN WIN
Only Four Games Behind Giants
and Some Don't Believe
They Have a Chance

The dopesters and statisticians are
busy on the National league circuit
trying to figure out whether the Cubs
really have a chance to cop the flag.
Some are doubtful whether the Chi
cago club can make II. Vow The
Cubs are only four games behind the
Giants up TO date and coming like a
house ahre, having trimmed the Giants
three out of the last four games. The
Giants are not playing up TO the
standard they set the first of the sea-
son, and with one exception their
pitchers are wayering under the strain
OF setting the pace for the rest OF the
league.
The Nationals are eight and half
full games behind the American
league leaders, Boston, and not a few
talk Of their chances to cop the flag.
II Is said that figures won't lie. but
as for uR We have sort of lost con.
fidence In statistics since the 1911 pen
nant race when some number wrestler
proved right tefore our very eyes
that the Tiges couldn't be headed
with tho lead they had in June, until
way late In September at the earliest.
But In August the Athletics were
showing US fine pair OF heels. Since
then We haven't taken much stock in
figures, but make our dope on per
formances and the condition OF the

straight games. making one swing
through the western half of Ban
Johnson's circuit without losing sin
gle game.
That sort OF whetted their appetite,
and they decided they would do some
other things.
Clyde Milan, real star, whose
worth is sometimes underestimated,
announced with all seriousness that he
proposed to steal 100 bases this sea
son. In the first ia games he got
away with CT pliers and Ii really
looks like he had more than an even
chance to turn the trick It's almost
cinch that he will break the Amer
lean league record of SO, made last
year by Ty Cobb. e.,
Walter Johnson, than whom no bet
ter pitcher can be found anywhere
watched "Rube" Marquard go out and
win nineteen straight games at the
start of the season. That record by
the Giant south-paw gave the bis
Swede an idea.
He didn't say much until his recent
one-hit shutout against the Chicago
White Sox gave him fourteen straight
wins and tied the American league
record for consecutive wins. Then he
naively remarked he wouldn't be a
bit surprised II he cracked Mar
gu ard'swonderful record.
The Detroit times., 1912-08-23
PICK.UPS FROM THE
BIG LEAGUE FIELDS

The Cubs are only four games
from the top. The Giants lost
ground in Pittsburgh. Marquard
was pounded harder than Matty
and owes his victory to a batting
rally.
The Red Sox climbed a notch
in the pennant race; dipped cleve-
land in the whitewash tub and
otherwise had the game to them
selves from the beginning.
Brooklyn's lead was so decided
that the contest was uninterest-
ing. st. Louis put In Steel and
Geyer, but YingIng held his own.
Seventeen hits and seventeen
runs to the Braves seven and five
tell what happened in Chicago.
The Cubs got tired circlIng the
sacks but took advantage Of the
practice.
Schalk, the new receiver Of the
White Sox bumped the Highland
ers by his rifle shot throws and
stick connections.
The Athletics sacked two games
from st. Louis. Both we're closely
contested and In both the pitchers
held full sway.
