GOSSIP FROM THE
 VARIOUS TEAMS OF
 THE CITY LEAGUE

The fast City league is developing some big league timber, and before the end of the season there will be several of the players on the different teams eligible for tryout with fast teams.
 Some of the most promising youngsters among the pitchers of the league are Click of Southern Bell, McDuffie of Ris- ing and Smith of West Woodlawn, Dowl- ing of West End and Galbraith of Moore & Handley.
 The catchers who are holding down their places the best are Harris of Moore Handley, Cook of West End and Gan ong of Southern Bell
 It would seem that Austin Byers of West Woodlawn would take off the honors for the best all round first baseman in the league, though Broadneaux for Moore X Handley and Heer of Rising are fielding their position admirably.
 It Is hard to pick the best second base man, as several of them are pretty well matched up, but Norton of West End and May of Southern Bell are fielding this position with a better average than the others.
 of Rising are holding down third with near perfect record, while Romeo of A. B. C.; Veitch of West End; Gallagher of Progressive Farmer and Simon of Tuxedo are above the average on short
 1t would be a hard matter to decide who has the best fielding average. but Harrison of Standard oil, Schrecl of Os- ter Bros., and Blackwelder of West End are among the top-notchers.
 Other good material is being developed rapidly and the big league scouts would do well to take notice of the way these youngsters conduct themselves in the games vet to be played. There are sev- eral double headers piled up between the four leading teams, and each one of these teams is making a game fight to win the pennant.
 Perhaps the heaviest hitting team in the league is the West Enders who, under the management of Patton, have secured an enviable berth in second place and are dangerous contenders for the rag in the western division. Should they defeat West Woodlawn Saturday they would be safely fortified in first place.

TENOR UPHOLDS
 DECISION OF LIMP
 IN N. Y.-PITTS. GAME

New York. August 12.-Pittsburg protest of the game. won by New York in Pittsburg July today was disal- lowed by President Tenor on the ground that Umpire Byrne acted with in his rights and in accordance with the rules in deciding a claim of inter- Terence against the Pirates The um- pire's decision, therefore, having been based solely on his accuracy of judg- ment, there could be no reversal of the game, and the game as played stands
 The play prompting the Pittsburg clubs protest occurred in the sixth in ming of the 21-inning contest played in Pittsburg, With one out Wagner folded one into single, taking third on Viox' $ hit to center. The throw by Bescher to third went under Wagner as he was sliding Wagner picked up the ball but dropped it after carrying the same some distance. by this allowing him to reach home safely. Wagner was de- clared out for interference and Viox. who had enveloped third, was sent back to second.

LOVELADY ANSWERS
 STATEMENT ISSUED
 BY HENRY P. WHITE
(continued from Page Five

above view it seems to me is supported by the fact that under section 2157 of the code it is made the duty of the probate judge after the assessments have been completed without delay to make complete abstract and duplicate upon forms to be furnished by the state auditor, of all real and personal property, as contained in the assess ment book, one of which he must for ward to the state auditor, not later than the first day of September. The probate judge then. under section 215S, must enter the assessments in book and turn it over to the tax collector, not later than October l.
 The statutes seem to contemplate by section 224S and sequel that the county tax commissioner shall com mence to make assessments and raises after the first Monday in May, and that he shall make his cases of raises re- turnable to the July term of the board After the July term of the board of revenue, it seems to me to be contem- plated by subdivision 13 of section 2223 of the code, that all eases of under valuations must go to the state tax commission and he tried by that tri- bunal.
