in the 18th and had made third on a sac

when Murray fooled Dowd's drive at
him. Bellows Falls got its lone run on a
passed ball after Crowell had made three
bases on what would have been kept to a
single by fast fielding.

ninth that retired the visitors, in which

J. Harvey Turnure of the Greenfield
team is not lacking in self-confdence.
J. Harvey says that Walter johnson $
fast ones compare favorabIy with his
foater. Turnure never holds it
against man for not hitting him
safely, because he admits himself it
IS not an easy thing to do.

BrattlebOrO But Two Points
Behind Keene in Fight
for Second Place
NEWPORT TEAM
RUNNING WILD
Has Lead Almost Impossible to Over
come-Change in Management of
Two Teams Greenfield Showing
More Class-Some Batting Averages

Eliminating Newport, whose lead in
the Twin State league race it is next
to an impossibility to overcome, the
struggle is one of the prettiest that
can be imagined Many changes have
been made the past week, including the
management of two TRANSFORMATIONS
and Greenfeld-and both these teams
have picked up. Greenfield is peculiarly
unfortunate in having games post,
poned, but the taking of an thinning
game Saturday from Bellows Falls perk-
ed up things materially, while Brat
tleboro has won four of the five games
played since Friday of last week,
making the best showing of any team
except Newport, which won all I'VE
games played.
The keene team, which has been
crowding Newport as much as it is pos
sihle to crowd a team that has lost only
three games in 20 played, has had a
bad week, dropping SIX of eight games
played. Bellows Falls dropped five of
seven, one being by forfeit to New
port, forfeit that will be fought out
in a league meeting. Northampton
split even in six games and Greenfield
won one of the three in which it en-
gagged.

Islanders Win Four Straight.

Manager O'IIara, since taking over
the Brattlehoro team, has vet to see
see the team lose a game in which he
played. He did not engage in the game
with Keeuc at Island park Tuesday
having reached town to take up the
management but short time before
and the team lost. Since then he has
been in the ranks fighting for every
point and the boys have been with
him. The result has been four
straight victories, two of them being
shutouts, and the team is now but two
points behind keenc, which holds see

Democratic House Leaders
Agree on Measure to
Raise $107,0O0,0 600.
PRESIDENT IS OVERRULED
BY OTHER PARTY CHIEFS
Chairman Underwood Wins Support
of McAdoo and Burleson for
His Program.

Democrats Of the ways and means
committee today completed the war reve-
nue. tax bill, providing for tax OF
|3 per cent on all freight transporta-
ton. an increase Of so cents on beer
and 20 cents a gallon on all domestic
wines. This will net an estimated
revenue Of $1o7.0o00oo a year. The
tax on freight was agreed to after a
conference with the President. who
had expressed opposition to it.
The freight tax will be 3 per cent
Of the transportation charges on all
rail or ship. and will include express
1t will not include parcel post.
one-third for Railroads.
The shipper will pay the tax to the
railroad. which will retain per
cent of the total amount collected for
administration expenses and make re-
turns to the government on the basis
of the freight bills. There will be no
stamps. The fifty-cent tax on beer is
ing the total tax $3.50. Domestic
wines pay various taxes.
The tax on wines will be assessed
against those hereafter manufactured
and sold or hereafter removed for sale.
1t will not affect wines manufactured not
for sale.
Representative Underwood conferred
with President Wilson personally in re-
gard to the freight tax and also had
the approval of Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo and Postmaster General
Burleson to the plan which was substi.
tuted for the income tax increase and the

Spread Over Big Business.
"As an Illustration of the operation OF
the freight tax" said Mr.. Underwood, a
man who does business aggregatine
$4,000 in freight bills would pay a reve-
| nue. tax of $780,
"A freight bill of that size would indi-
cate an actual business of a million or a
, million and half dollars. A three-hun-
dred-dollar tax spread over that amount
| of business would be nfinitesimal and
could have little or almost no effect or
retail prices. A one-dollar freight bill
| with the tax added would amount te
$1.03. We have figures to show that the
! annual amount of railroad freight bust
ness in this country Is about two billion
dollars, and with express and watel
freight added. it Is more, than three bill
| lion dollars. Upon this we base the esti
mate of S65. 100000 revenue"
