In the final appearance OF the year
for the Keokuk team on its home
grounds a double bill was divided
with the Burlington Red Sox, the first
game going to the visitors, 5 to l,
and the second being won by the
locals, / to 0. Outside of the first
three innings OF the first game when
the Indians made q number of costly
errors, both trays were good exhibi.
lions.
Mccullough lost the first game
through poor support. Five runs
were piled up by the Manuschers in
the first three innings, boots of one
sort or another being chiefly respons-
fble. Rains, at first base, was the
leader in miscues, he making three
very bad plays in the first two rounds.
Mccullough was touched for eight
hits. but with better support might
have been able to shut out the Sox.
McCabe hurled a one hit game
against Mack. The only real. blow
recorded of his delivery was made
by MCGEE in the seventh inning. The
hit, scoring Eail, who had walked,
saved the tribe from a shut-out. Tim

two.

the second game. He was opposed by
Williams, a local amateur who made
a very creditable showing while max

game. Williams allowed the sluggers
from Burlington but four hits during
the seven innings anu shut them out
without a score. His support was
perfect and at times spectacular, saw

at crucial times. Although McCabe
did not fare So well in his second

With Justice Regarding Post
Season Championship
Series.

export.

Dr. Frank L. Bassett, president OF
the X. /. T. league. held a conference
with President NJ. E. Justice this
morning regarding a proposed post
season series between the pennant
winners OF the two leagues. The mat
ter was first suggested by DR.. Bassett
recently In q letter to President JUS
tice, and a negative answer was re-
turned to DIR. Bassett, 1t being thought
the distance between the two leagues
was too great to make the series prac-
teal.
From the outcome Of the conference
this morning, however, It seems, very
likely the series will be played PRO
vided Muscatine does not win the
pennant, since Manager Boyle pre-
fers to play q series with Davenport.
It is believed that II Waterloo wins
the rag that Manager Andrews will be
willing to accept the proposition ad-
vanced by DR.. Bassett.
Cairo already has cinched the flag
In the Kitty league, and is anxious to
meet the pennant winners OF the G.
A. II tie series Is held, three games
will be played in the c. A. city and
three at Cairo and in the event OF q
tie, an extra game will be played in
the city where the last series is held.
The games will be played under the
rules Of the National association and
the receipts will be divided exactly
as they are in a worlds series. Ten
| per cent OF the receipts will 90 to the
two leagues, the receipts of four days
will go to the players. and the rest
will go to the two clubs. DR.. Bassett
| stated that in the series held last
year, the players OF the winning club
drew down about $50 each for i've
games.
In answer to the expressed fears
of C. A. officials that the series would
not pay expenses, DR.. Bassett offered
to give his check to President Justice
to cover all expenses OF the C. A.
| club. should the series be held. He
is enthusiastically in favor OF playing
the games and made the trip here
solely to rrange for the series.
The Kitty league has a salary limit
OF $500. The limit in the Central
Association is $1,000. 1t is believed
the C.. A. is quite a bit faster than the
other organization and President Bias
! sett expressed some doubt as to
whether or not the club In his league
would be able to do much with the G.
A. winners.
Whether or not the series ia to be
held will be decided shortly. II Wat
erloo wins the psnnant during the
next nine days, the matter will be
taken UP with DR.. Jay at once, and 1t
is barely possible that Manager Boyle
might consent to play the series II
the Muskies should win.

FINE o EXPECTED

District Inspector Harry Barmeier
Of Dubuque, is in the city today CON
ferring with local game officials and
local sportsmen regarding the pro
posed changes in game laws which
will allow shooting Of ducks and other
game birds on the Mississippi river
after October 1. On that date the
president will sign an amendment to
the regulation which prohibited the
shooting Of migratory birds on the
Mississippi last year and which a
ed much d~issention among local
sportsmen.
The amendment to the regulation
as proposed will read as follows:
Amendment OF regulation No. S:
Regulation No. S relative to shoot
ing on the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers is suspended for the season of
1914, thus affecting hunting in GER
tain sections of twelve states. The
advisory board recommends that hunt
ing on these rivers be permitted
whenever the states prohibit the use
Of motorboats In hunting waterfowl.
A. this will require legislation by
Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska and one
or two other states, the regulation is
suspended this year in order that the
states may take action, If they SO de.
sire, at the next session OF their re.
spective legislatures which meet In
January, 1915.
The open seasons for migratory
birds under federal regulations is
June 1, which includes this section, Is
as follows:
Waterfowl, September 1 to Decem.
September / to December 1; wood
cock, October / to December L; shore
birds, black-breasted and golden
plover, jacksnipe and yellowlegs. Sep
TENDER / to December 16. These reg
ulations are, OF course, subordinant
to the proposed changes In the regu'
lations regarding shooting on the Mis-
sissippi river. although effective on
the Des Moines. I~nsectivorous birds
are ~protecteN indefinitely. Band-tailed
pigeons, cranes, swans, curlew, small.
err shore birds, and wood ducks are
protected until September 1, 1918.
Rails in Vermont and woodcock in IL
linois are also protected until 1913,
Shooting is prohibited between sun.
! set and sunrise.
Mr.. Barmeier stated that indications
pointed toward the most plentiful sup.
| ply Of game birds In years for this
fall and winter. The birds are very
! plentiful in the north and have be
come very tame. Local gunners are
looking forward to the best sport In
years this fall on the waters Of Lake
Cooper.

Sporting Views

Today marked the opening locally
OF the training season for the Winter
league. Dope stories and record books
will soon supply the material for fan
ming bees. Telephone fans will not
feel the change until the Indians IN
ish up at Marshalltown, Sept. Z.
The scheduled game at Burlington
today was postponed in order that a
double header might be staged We'd
nesday. Members Of the local team
remained in town today and will
leave tomorrow morning on their last
road trip OF the year.
Two out Of three from Burlington,
although not a clean sweep OF the
series, is Just two games better than
was predicted by the Burlington
Hawk-Eye which sheet opined the
Red Sox would have al easy time in
winning three in a row.
President r. L. Bassett Of the Kitty
league was in town today comforting
with President Justice in regard to
playing a ~post-season series between
the champions OF the two leagues.
The series would be an interesting
one and should draw well IN the Cen.
trail association. It would also show
well the relative strength Of the two
leagues.
Ben Williams made a remarkable
showing in his game against the Red
Sox yesterday afternoon, despite the
fact that he got away lucky in many
respects. Williams has been working
in an Office all summer and has pitch
ed but three games during this time.
It seems impossible that he could
have been in the best kind OF condi'
ton and when 1t is considered he was
going against a club that is batting
around the .270 mark it is obvious he
was tackling a man-sized Job.
As far as form Is concerned vii.
liams didn't have much to exhibit,
His delivery showed plainly the need
Of a few lessons from an old head
His speed could be increased to a
big extent by getting his weight be
hind the ball instead of, doing all the
work with his arm alone while his
habit Of balancing for a couple OF
seconds on one foot Just before de
livering the ball is one that will cause
him to make many wild pitches. De
spite these obvious faults he put the
Indian sign on the Red Sox without
much trouble, and to him all honor
Is due.

tion and of every class.
Tor the first time all the important
leases on record were examined and sale
prices compared with lease returns. Inc
rental lists were annotated with sales OF
improved property. Lowest net prices
were obtained on hundreds of pieces of
realty, and permission was secured 10

ers and the selling prices collated there

inspected. on the basis of bank and phi

of building and loan associations. Inc
results of condemnation proceedings were
examined. This vast assembly OF ma
teriai was then painstakinSly compared
with the assessment records, and the de-
ductions therefrom became purely me-
chanica and mathematical. The George
report is not single tax document. 1t
is, in fact, an ultra-conservative finding.
Studied Files of The Star.
One of the principal sources OF inz
formation was the columns Of the valued
Evening Star-news and advertising
diligently studied it's files over period
of several years.
Since the George report set fo; I'll the

Remains then the s334, 500, 500 of ground

briefly. The federal subsidy under the
haif-and-haIf plan averages about &c.
900 600 annually. ] claim that this amount
has been capitalized into an increment IN
ground values.
win rhe Star deny the truth of the
economic principle involved? I: SO. il will
be compelled to hold that the Nithdra wal

i.ainder will be disclosed aot Gar above
the values of cities il Washiugtons class
and couservatively below what could be
demonstrated to be the true full value of
the taxable area based on other methods.
Had l 'ised the approved British gov
ernmert board methods of capitalizing
renta; and ieasehold values, the totals
would have been far in excess of those
presented. Had the lowest net prices
obtained from brokers and owners not
been lberai!y discounted the figures
would have been st.il more aititudinous
Had the basis of condemnation proceed

would again have been skied.'
Rents and ground values are notori-
ously higher here than IN any of the
cities which The Star so frequently uses
for comparison and of which l have
knowledge.
They would be higher. even without
the federal subsidy. for Washington has
the highest salary and wage level of any
