Duplicate of the Roosevelt African
Sfotpun.

A duplicate Of the shotgun which
Col. Theodore Roosevelt took with him
on his African trip, a gun constructed
expressly for him by an American
armorer, is on display at the manufac-
turer's exhibit in the Manufacturer
Palace at the Panama-Paciflc Interna-
tional Exposition, San Francisco. The
gun cost its illustrious owner $3.50,
and its beautiful design, graceful
lines and wonderful inlay work would
Justify the expenditure to any lover
of fine pieces. The stock is elabo-
rately hand carved, the barrels and
lock are hand engraved, and the lock
is inlaid with hunting scene In gold.
The barrels are of the finest Kupp
steel. Before starting on the trip the
ex-president wrote to the makers: II
really think it is the most beautiful
gun l have ever seen. am almost
ashamed to take 1t to Africa and sub
ject 1t to the rough treatment 1t will
receive"
The left barrel is choked and the
right open. 1t is cored to shoot either
buckshot or a single bali.
In group In this Palace are dis
plays by four of the worlds greatest
manufacturers of sporting arms, which
form an exhibit which attracts hun
dreds of sportsmen. Each display is
in charge of a firearms expert.

MARbURY SWANPED
 BY CENTRAL HIGH
Visitors Make But One Point-LOcals Fail to Show
 Expected Form

Central High school opened their 1915-16 basketball season yesterday afternoon with an overwhelming victory over the Marbury High school, by the score of 52 to l. The lone tally of the visitors was scored by Captain Oakes, who shot foul goal.
 Central High played off form and the score should have been twice as much as it was. The local forwards missed easy shots and although they showed flashes of form they lacked consistency.
 The visitors made a good showing, con- sidering the fact that this was the first basketball game that they ever played. Central High used numerous substitutes; in fact, every candidate for the squad was given a chance.
 Harrel and Montgomery showed up well as forward, but their playing was rather cratic. Jack Jones at center also played well for Central. Roberts was a brilliant star in passing and played strong game at guard.
 For the visitors, they lacked any par ticular star, but played as one team, starring for itself. The lone tally of the visitors came early in the first half after Central had a large lead.
 Summary-Central: Harrell, Montgom- cry, H. Antwine, Davis and Barks, for wards; J. Jones and Hagan, center; Rob- erts, Hall, Kelly, F. Jones' guards; Mar | bury, Oates and Thornton. forward l Simms, center Dawson and Chandler l guard. Goal from field, Harrell '; H. Jones 3, Montgomery 5, J. Jones 5, Rob- erts 2, Hall l. Barks 1, Hagan 2 Goals after foul, Harrell 2, Oates l, Referee, Hoffer.

FINAL TREATY WILL
 BE SIGNED TODAY
With Exception of Minor Details Concerning in- ternational League, All Conditions Are Settled Weeghman Will Take Charge of Cubs-Bell to Buy St. Louis Americans Contract Jumpers" Will Be Restored to Good Standing

Cincinnati, December 21.-With the ex- ception of the matter concerning the In ternational league all conditions that will go into the peace treaty between the Federal league and organized baseball were agreed to here tonight.
 Attorneys have been instructed to draw up the necessary papers which will be signed tomorrow following the threshing out of what was said to be only small details on the Internattona league prop osition
 That the final treaty of peace will be signed tomorrow appears certain.
 The meeting lasted until almost mid night, and at it's conclusion the above facts were announced with the additional information that none of the conditions would be given out officially until the final signing of the treaty. Unofficially but authoritatively it was made known that the agreement will make possible the purchase of the Chicago Nationals by Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago Federals, and of the St. Louis Americans by Phil Ball of St Louis
 Other conditions, according to semi-of- ficial information, as learned tonight, were:
 That the Federal league would assume and carry out all of it's existing con- tracts with players.
 That the Ward interests in all Federal league matters would be reimbursed to the extent of s400,000 paid in yearly in- stallments for the next 20 years. This would be distributed among the 16 clubs in the major leagues and would amount to approximately $l2O0 a year to each.
 Contract jumpers would be restored

Osteopaths Put Up Great Game -Outcassed Lo- calls in Team WOrk-Game Fiercely Fought. Fouls NumerOus-Local Five Play in Streaks. Lack Consistent Team Work

for their machine to get in working order, but before they had stopped when once started, they had amassed total of Al points. The Osteopaths led at various intervals but when the locals lost the lead a squirting rally replaced them.
 The Osteopaths deserve prais. for the fight they put up through the ba,
 tie and were fighting strenuously when the referees whistle ended the game. Fouls were numerous and the game drifted into a rough affair sev- eral times. However, the prompt ac- tion of the officials saved any embar- rassment
 The medicos, with their excellent pass work, puzzled the locals for the entire first half and the Is points scored by the Brumage boys were made from long distance shots, or else from the expert foul shooting of Captain Me Gowan. It was this phase of the game that the visitors were also the most effective throughout. Goals from the center of the floor were numer- ous and Manhart and Foster made sev- eral wonderful shots.
 The fierceness of the game kept Coach Brumage from giving his heavy list of candidates a "try out" link Gillem was the only sub sent into the fray by the locals. Gillems entry into the game encouraged the locals or else strengthened a weak spot and the land- slide of goals that followed can be at tributed in a large part to the fight ing blond" His defense and passing was exceptionally good.
 This, however, did not make Gi1lem ba cf nf thn hn in ing four members of the team deserve praise Captain McGowan was shifted to forward, which considerably lessened his effectiveness, but greatly strength ened the team Tommie still possessed the pep" of the entire five and the Irishman was particularly effective at shooting foul goals, registering nine
 out of IA points
 Brazelton played a strong game at forward and his playing toward the last of the game pushed the locals into the lead Brazelton registered five field goals in the last three minutes of play. Luther Strange was a strong factor at center, securing five field goals. Although Strange missed easy
 shots, this can easily be accounted for in that it was the first game of the season.
 Biscoe Seals, the club mainstay for the past few years at guard, upheld his reputation, playing a great game. Cor don Robinson at forward was off form at shooting, but aided in what little pass work there was in the first half For the Osteopaths, the entire team starred as one, although the playing of Manhart and Foster was slightly above that of the remaining medicos. l Engler who was hurt and had to with

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Honest Tax Assessments
e Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I see so much pro and con on bond is sue, I would like to give subscribers view and remedy for shortage. Why is it we want to add more indebtedness when it is acknowledged we can't pay now? Is this honest? Is our income growing as our debts with this bond issue added? On whom does the burden fall? Not on the tax dodgers but on the honest middleman. Now for the remedy: Let every man assess hls property at honest valuation instead of one-seventy-fifth of actual value. This is not an assertion without proof, as tax books will show, and the city, county and state will have money and plenty The sales of some property compared to tax valuation IS further proof. Kindly give this space as you have given others. Respectfully.
