LOCAL MANAGERS
 ASKED TO REPORT
 EMPL OYES' WAGES

Manufacturers and corporation ori- cers in Bridgeport have this week re- ceived in their mail request from the federal government to forward to the collector of internal revenue, list of their officers, Stockholders and the name of every employe receiving over $2, 800 per year.
 This request has come as surprise to corporate interests, for the pro- vision Of the federal law has not been so strictly enforced heretofore, the list of officers, directors and stock holders being deemed sufficient.
 It is conceded in of7cial circles that the demand arises from the belief upon the part of the secret service employees, aiding in the collection of the recently inaugurated income tax. that many persons in this and other districts have attempted to avoid pay ment of the tax to the government.
 Following the announcement that the income tax collection would be en- forced and that those delinquent would be prosecuted, this move will tend to show the corporate incomes of many in this section to the gov ernment officials, and is believed to be merely one Of the many moves which will be taken to check up the declara tions filed with the government last April.

CAN COW HORSE
 BE1AT EASE RUNNER2 ?

!
 6From the August Baseball Magazine1 How Hans Lober of the PhiIlfes raced a cow horse around the bases out in California is told In the Au- gust Baseball Magazine. It seems
 that when the world tour baseball par ty played iii Oxnard. Cal, a unique
 match betwsen COW horse and bail
 player was staged. Here's what took piece: ss8.
 The feat is remarkable, because 1t IS the only one Of its kind that has ever taken place It was performed by John B. (tsHonus'') Lobext between the eaghth and ninth innings Of the game The question arose as to lyYnetaer ascattle horse, trained to rap i'd turns, scol11d beat a. base runner around the diahn0nd. and immediately i it was prpposed to test the matter
 The fastest cattle- horse in Ventura. County happened to be owned in OK na.rd. and against this wonderful anil TnaI, which had 8 record of 24 sec ondss to the quarter mile Isobert the fastest base runner 1iving1 agreed to race around the diamond. Interest in the event was intense, as a large portion of the residents of Oxnard are cattlernen. An enormous crowd dll- ed the stands ethe game was a. close contest. the score 2 to 1 at the begin ming of the ninth inning) and, des- pite their great desire to witness the end of the baseball contest, the specta- tors were completely absorbed in the
 remarkable race between man and
 horse L.obert. smiling and confident advanced to the plate The horse
 was ridden by a. Mexican vaquero. Af- ter discussing their lineI of progress, Itobert and the rider moved to the
 scratch. K1em gave the word Go, =
 and both horse and man were off in a
 flash. Lobert got into his stride
 quicker than the horse, rounding first, well in the lead. At second he was
 still a yard ahead and heightened his lead on the turn to about twenty-five
 feet. When the spectators saw this
 great athlete actually leading the fly
 ing horse 70 third base, they rose en
 masse and G1reir cheers could be heard for miles. It was a. thrilling moment
 and one never to be forgotten. Hon
 us'' reached third first. but only by a
 shade Wheeling like a thunderbolt
 the horse forced to his utmost. came
 abreast of Lobert and flashed past him about two yards from the plate, win ner by half a length, in IA seconds.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-07-24

tLobert.s record time for the dis tancel Some watcher caught the time Of the horse at 3 seconds--but Lobert said he was certain he did not run the distance faster than his rec ord. and as the horse only beat him by half . length, it is safe to say 14 sec ends is the correct time for the race The cowboys present were ela-ted at the victory Of the horse, but at tle same time were generous in their shouts of. applause to Lobert whose wohderful effort will be ren1eHbered as =Ie historical events of Ven
 .s1afCounty. John said it was a tick fish sensation to hear a horse thunder ing at your heels; and at second base he turned his head to see if the horse was dangerously near; this threw him slightly out Of his stride and prqbab- 1y had it not done so, he would have won the race. However. he says he will never try again. as it is too risky proposition for man whose pro- fession is baseball There would be small profit in sustaining an injury which might easily occur in such an event.

SOME SWAPPING RECORDS
 HAVE STOOD MANY YEARS

n England the othe- day a couple of baseball clubs mingled on an i'm prov1sed diamond and when the smoke . of battle had cleared away the score than as hundred runners had passed the plate Such a game is reninis- cent of the early days of the pastime in America, when no club was consid- cred to have a safe lead over the op- posing team with anything less than a margin of twenty runs to the good. with the beginning of professional baseball in the early seventies, and the launching of the National league these conditions changed. and big scores became the exception. and not the rule. To-day marks the thirty- second anniversary cf the league game in which the record number of runs were made ChieaEo and Cleve- land were the opposing clubs on that historic July 24, in 1ss2, and the for ner triumphed by a score of thirty i've to four
 Many other league swatting records have stood almost as long. The great est number of home runs in a major league game was scored in g. contest between Detroit and St Louis an 1ss6, when seven hits good for complete cir cults of the bases were made. This record has been several times exceed ed in minor circuits, and at Corsicana Texas in 1902 no less than nineteen home runs were smashed out The worlds record for the greatest mum Der of runs in one inning of a league 8ame has stood since 1888, when Chi Gago scored eighteen runs-two for each man-in the lucky seventh of a game against Detroit, Burns and Weidman being the twirlers whose de- livery fared so badly. As late as 1908, at Cleveland, ten runs were scored in one inning. nine hits were made, and each batter who made a hit got a run.
 The individual batting records for EingIe same are headed by the won- derfuI performance lof Beaumont. of 4te Pirates, who in 1899 got six hits sensational was the feat Of l0e1ehanty of Philadelphia, in Is96, when in a game against Chicago he went to bat Ave times and got four home runs ana a single.
