of cracking the men who
handle major league base
ball a sharp rap over the knuc-
kles, they are talking quite lit
tie throughout the State of New
York about taxing baseball re-
ceipts per cent of the gross,
much in the same manner that
boxing receipts are taxed now.
The idea was suggested several
years ago, or when the idea OF
turning "A certain amount of box
ing houses over to the state
was put forward. but it all ended
in mere talk. Just a short time
back the State Auditor issued a
statement in which he showed
that the State OF New York was
benefited during the current year
to the extent Of close to 500 600
by its per cent Of the boxing re-
ceipts This again suggested that
a State commission, or the pres
ent State Athletic Commission, be
empowered by law to collect like
tax from the professional ball
clubs.
NAsMUCH as boxing is just as
legal in the State Of New York
as professional ba seball playing,
it Is argued, the State has as
much right to claim 3 per cent
from baseball as It has to claim
that much from the boxers. and
most Of the arguments run along
such lines.
L URTHER, il is clearly shown,
all Of the States that have le-
gaIized boxing could do the same
thing and receive a fine sum for
the maintenance Of public insti-
buttons or for other purposes.
Wisconsin is among the States
that have boxing bills and plen-
ty Of professional baseball, and
would profit well by such an ar
rangement. So would Illinois II a
boxing bill ever was passed here
IVY HAT a roar would go up from
w all sides If the State Of New
York ever were to attempt TO tax

Auburn
Team Will
Improve.

-7-7-"---1-7~7-o-~-0---~-~~~ these men can
do better, or perhaps they may be
changed, but-well, | am only giving
my impressions of the team as it
looked to me at Grant Field.
To sum up, Auburn looks pretty
good, and should make it interest
ing to every team they meet They
should wind up with splendid
average. and be found somewhere
among the first four, but | do not
look for them to win the champion
ship.
Tech looked so bad on Friday that
that night they looked to me no bet
ter than last place among some two
dozen colleges Still, | knew we'll
enough they could play better ball
than that. Evidently they thought
likewise, and started in Saturdays
game with the idea of demonstrating
to everybody concerned.
So for the first time this year they
looked, on Saturday, like ball team
yes, a ball team, but still far from
a champion ball team. They still
made several messes of easy
chances, and their team play and
understanding of inside points of
individual play was far from smooth,
but they showed no such rottenness
as can not be eliminated with hard,
conscientious work. They still are
not hitting as well as am convinced
they can; nor for that matter are
they playing in any respect quite up
to my measure of their capacities.
Perhaps they never will. But If
they can get it in their heads that
it is not how a team can play ball
but how it does play ball that counts
in games they should soon begin to
come out of the kinks.

~ INCE the Auburn-Tech baseball
series of last week have been
~ asked a number of times for
my opinion of the championship pos
sibilities of both teams.
After having seen them in action
in real games an estimate OF their
abilities and promise Is more read
ily made than was possible before;
still. neither one nor two swallows
make a summer, and to make
hard and fast prediction of the out
come of the season for either team
would be to go off less than half
cooked. However, an opinion of bow
thew looked on last Friday and Sat
urday can do no great harm.
On Friday the Auburn team hit
we'll. and it is an axiom In baseball
that any team looks good when lin
ing the ball out. Yet it must not be
overlooked that they we're facing
novice pitchers. that the ball was
slippery and hard to handle, and
that they would not have amassed
the total number of hits that finally
went down to their credit had not
several Tech players made unfor-
givable errors of easy chances
after two were out; after these err
rors more hits we're registered by
the Auburn batters than they other

The New Revenue Law

The revenue law which went into ef- feet Tuesday and which cslls for the payment of tax on certain businesses such as pool .and bowling places, lo- baeco dealers and others and the ailiX- ing of revenue stamps on various afti cies, has mystified the local business men the past few days. As usual the last minute is the time that persons begin to realize that it means them and the Inst minute rush all over the country kept officials busy overtime.
 1t was learned Monday that no stamps were 10 be sold in Putnam by any governmental department but this WAS followed by the announce ment that the First National bank had thoughtfully and generously relieved the situation by ordering supply Of the stamps and were offering them 10 all .who wished them. The banks valuable service was purely voluntary and il was greatly appreciated by the public.
 Some of the tobacco dealers and liquor dealers who have to send in statement of business done and stock carried were all at sea but others had procured forms for this purpose. The matter viii doubtless adjust itself Tn a few days AS the working of the law be- comes more generally known.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. Ex-senator John
T. Clarkson. Of Monroe county has
been here this week to aid the state adj
ministration in court in sustaining the
workmen's compensation law which is
in issue before Judge Mcpherson.
Il can not believe there is any great
danger of the Iowa law being declared
in violation of the constitution" said
Senator Clarkson. 1T is in principle
very much like the laws that have
been upheld in other states and in the
nation. tho very mild and in no sense
oppressive. If our law can not be up
held then it would be almost useless
to try to effect any reform in this mat
ter. But I firmly believe the courts
will hold the state has the right to in
augurate a system that looks to a bet
ter distribution of the burdens and re-
lief for industry from the dangers to
which it is now subjected because of
excessive jury verdicts in damage
cases"
