oLDRING WON'T PLAY THIRD
Connie Mack Decides Not to Spoil
Good outfielder

Philadelphia, April 9.-Rube Old
ring will not play third base regularly
for the Athletics during the season.
This was the decision of Connie Mack
yesterday following many days of con-
sideration.
Rube is willing to play the bag, "
said Mack, 'and | considered him seri-
ously for the position from the time
that Baker notified me that he would
not play again, but l have decided that
l would not spoil great outfelder to
make fair third baseman of him. -
This decision leaves the third base
position open, for Mack declared he did
not know who would play the difficult
corner when the American League sea-
son began. The Athletics have three
candidates for the place-Kopf, Bos-
tick and Mcconnell.

RUSH STARTS GRlDIRON WORK
Thirty Princeton Players Report for
Spring Practice

Princeton, April 9.-John H. Rush
the new Tiger gridiron mentor, was in
charge of the first spring football prac.
tiee, which was held yesterday after.
noon with thirty candidates reporting.
The large number of letter men parti-
cipating in other sports kept the num-
Der down, but il is expected that the
next few days will see at least score
more out, as Princeton means business
in this sport and every one is behind
the new coach. Captain Click and
Jack Stucky, '0S, the coach of the
scrub eleven last fall, assisted Rush in
the drill.
Despite the.warm weather there was
some real work done, though it was of
an elemental nature, as the men are not
in the best of condition. The drill con
sisted of falling on the ball, holding
the bail, picking it up on the run and
the throwing and receiving of forward
passes, 1t is Rush S plan to hold prae-
tice five afternoons a week, gradually
stiffening the work, and to have little
actual serimmaging if possible.

Total state and county ....29.O0 mills
To the above must be added the
road district and the school district
levies, in order to determine the full
tax levy for the present year. 1t will be
seen that the state and county levy is
three mills higher than in 1914.
Compare with lists on the back Of
one Of your tax receipts) OF these
three mills, 2.89 will be used to cover
costs of new court house buildings.
While the land valuations remain the
same during 1915 as were made in
1914, yet taxes will be three mills
higher, or 80 per cent for each 500
valuation. The total assessed valuation
of the county, for 1915, amounts to
practically $S.20O,O00. In order to de-
termine how much money will be re-
quired for the various funds, multiply
the valuation by the number Of mills
levied. For example, to find out how
much money is required for the county
school fund, multiply $S,2OO,OOO by five
mills, which will make SAL 200, and so
on. 1t will be noticed that upwards of
100000 will be required for state
purposes. Another interesting fact is
that approximately $4,000 are required
for the care of county poor, and over
81, 500 for mothers pensions. The 8
mills, levied for current expenses, rep
resents approximately $4,000 and this
sum is raised for county salaries, such
as books, printing, travelling expenses
postage, fuel and light, care of the
poor, mothers peneion, inspector OF
scales and measures, etc. The average
levy for the county, including all
school districts and road districts, and
incorporated towns, is about AZ mills,
and during 1915 approximately $780,
900 revenue will be raised.
