(Bv Associated Press.)

Sixty-eight years ago today the
first match game of baseball on record
was played. The game was between
the Knickerbocker and New York
Baseball clubs in the Elysian Fields at
Hoboken, N. ]. The players were
members of the leading New York
families. and engaged in the sport as
a pastfme. A bevy of town bellies in
the group Of spectators made the &C.
casion seem like social function. The
field was marked OF into the baseball
diamond 30 familiar today. None of
the players wore gloves, masks, or pro-
tectors. 1t was the custom for the bat
ter to say where he wanted the ball
thrown. The pitcher, or "giver" as he
was then called, delivered 1t with an
underhand toss, according to the rules
of the game. 1t was thought that the
pitcher had an unfair advantage over
the batter when he threw the ball over
hand, hence the rule. The catcher
stood at safe distance behind the
batter, ready to catch the ball on the
bound. The rules dictated that if he
caught the third strike on the first
bound the batter was out; otherwise
he must throw to first base to put him
out. Likewise, the fielders, or
scouts" were permitted to catch hits
on the first bound. Three outs retired
the side. The team that first scored
21 runs, or "aces," regardless of the
number Of innings palyed, was &C.
counted the winner. After the game,
the players resorted to one of the fam
GUS taverns of the day where the vic
tors had a dinner at the expense of the

DODGERS OF INJGaE
TAX AuAIN WARNED
COMMISSIONER osBURN AN.
NoUNcs THAT ALL OFFENDERS
WILL BE PROSECUTED.

Washington, June 17.-An added
warning of prosecution in store for
persons subject to payment Of income
tax, who attempt to evade it, has been
issued by Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Osborn. Following the state
ment last week by Secretary McAdoo
that tax dodgers would be vigorously
prosecuted, Commissioner Osborn an.
nounces that he is ready to take up
the chase.
"A man who attempts to avoid the
income tax is fool" Commissioner
Osborn declared today. HE is sure to
be detected sooner or later. There
is no chance to escape"
1t develops that the Treasury De-
partment already has evidence of the
amount of tax payments that must be
made by thousands of officers, en-
ployes, stockholders, and bondholders
of corporations, which will be used as
a check to insure full payments. Cor
porations were obliged two months
ago to furnish lists of salaries paid
and information as to holdings of
stocks and bonds. In the case Of the
latter, large amount of work has
been involved in compiling the hold
ings of stocks and bonds of individuals
owning securities of many corpora
tons.
Since the returns were made in
April, however, clerks in the internal
revenue office have been busy com
piling this data so that the collection
force will be armed to proceed against
persons who make payment on false
returns.
A penalty of per cent additional
goes into effect against those who do
not pay their income tax before July
l. No steps will be taken to proceed
against tax dodgers until after that
ternal revenue
date, except that collectors of internal
revenue will be instructed to call pub
lie attention in their territory to the
of the law providing years

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
FLUSH YOUR KIDNEYS OCCASION
ALLY IF you EAT MEAT
REGULARLY.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney
pores SO they sluggishly filter or strain
only part of the waste and poison from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
lions to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so 1t no long
er causes irritation, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and the
Mcod pure, thereby avoiding serious
Kidney complications.
The Century Drug Store sells Jad
Salts.
