Eyers Says He May Take
Few More Days on.

Chicago. Aug. Johnny Evers, Of the
Braves. is serving three-day suspen-
sion for an alleged fist fight with Mama
ger Fred Clarke. of the Pirates. in Pitts
burgh on Tuesday. His enforced vaca-
ton expires tomorrow. and he may be
seen in the last game of the cluster on
Saturday.
The heat got me in CINCINNATI when
we were there" said Evers, land I did
not feel right. My heart was not strong
after my illness last winter, and what
happened in Cincinnati recently warned
me to take a rest. / should not have
played in Pittsburgh, but the team was
going so well, and we had a chance to
reach the top, that did not want to stay
out, but now that I have been suspend

cation a few days longer

LIKE FRENCH ARMY.
Vic Safer Gets Little Credit for His
Ability.

New York, Aug. Vie Safer. of the
Cubs, reminds one of the French army
He really accomplishes wonderful things
but he rarely gets his name or picture
anywhere but in the-box scores. The
spotlight rarely shines upon the Won
derful first sacker from Chicago, because
lesser stars monopolize 1t. Yet, Safer is
one of the greatest players the game has
produced.
Safer is the leading clouter of the Cubs.
He is slamming them out for an avera &c
we'll above 300. He is the most terrific
slugger in the National League. He has
poled out more two-baggers and triples
than any man in the National League
He is fourth among the base. stealers
and he leads the run getters in the Ma
tional League.
And he's fielder. as polished and as
sure as Hal Chase in his palmiest days
Yet the skill Of Safer has been showed
into the background year after year.

find solace in the thought that after
the game, or. should he be severely in

can present a claim for damages to
the State Industrial Commission at Den

caused by the bottle coming in con-

law went into effect in Colorado last
Monday and the State authorities have
decided that both umpires and players

PLAYED A HUNCH.
Minor League Manager Makes Line
mn Out of Hat.

New York. Aug. 7.-Some u the big
league clubs who are in a hitting slump
might initiate the experiment made with
wonderful results a few years ago by a
minor league manager.
Alexander Pearson Is the manager I'M
der discussion, He was handling the
Uniontown, Pa. club and the team was
doing everything but winning ball games.
Pearson shifted his batting order half
dozen times in the hope that the change
would lift the team out of a batting
slump. But to no avail.
Whereupon. Pearson put the names OF
all his players on a slip Of paper and
deposited them In a hat. Then he with
drew them for batting position. the first
name withdrawn to be the lead-off bats
man, the second name to bat second and
so on. The club. with Its tuggled line
UP, won the game that day and followed
1t with seventeen more victories. all in
a row.

The Dodger Retreat.

In the fairly well-known suburb Of
Brooklyn the natives no longer dream
pennant dreams. Just before the Dod-
gers went West the natives were on the
point OF engaging world series tickets.
That was at a time when the amazing
squirt Of the Brooklynites had carried
them to within a few points OF the league
leadership.
But all has changed. The uncouth
Westerners not only halted the Dodgers
but beat them to a pulp. The Dodgers
dropped five of the first six Western
games-and they're still dropping. Mebbe
they'll come back-and mebbe not.

BAD sLowuP At uupoERvoou

Lidgerwood Broadaxe:
Last week Thursday forenoon
at about II o'clock the range in
the cottage of Jack Movius ex-
ploded and caused considerable
damage.
Some time before that, Paul
Timm was sent to build fire
in the range and hard coal heat
er preparatory to the arrival of
Jack and his bride who were ex-
pected the next morning early.
At about noon Paul went up to
see how things were getting along
and when he entered the kitchen
there he found the range blown
in pieces one of which went thru
a partition making hole nearly
three feet square; another piece
went through the ceiling, and one
window was blown out. That piece
that went through the partition
broke a nice chair in the dining
room into such small pieces that
one could not have told what it
formerly was.
The cause was the freezing up
of the water pipes. Besides the
damage mentioned above, the rug

the assessment rolls the same as
other real estate. If you find such
sites in your city, town or village
which are not contained in your
real estate tax books, it is your
duty to enter the description in|
your book and place an equitable
assessment thereon. You should
also enter them once for each
year they have escaped taxation
for as far back as the period of
six years, and assess the value
once for each year.
1t is cOnservatively estimated|
that the assessable property of
the state exceeds two billions of
dollars; on twenty-five per cent
basis the assessed value of the
state should be s5OO,OOO,OoO butt
as matter of fact last year it'll
was 1907. 100000. This means
that nearly two-fifths Of the as

ready bears sixty-seven per cent
Of the tax burden, while persons
al property bears but eighteen perl
cent and the remainder is borne
by public service corporations as
sessed by the state board of eq-
ualization. 1t is to the personal
property now escaping assess
ment that We must look for curl
increased valuation.
"All personal property should
be carefully classified. 1t is not
enough that reasonable valua-
ton is placed upon a specific
piece of property. but it should
be placed in the column provided
for it. Much confusion arises
from the fact that in assessing
property, the proper columns areI
not used. Assessors will find pro-
perty for which there is no des-
ignated column. In assessing such
property Item 20 should be used,
followed by a notation stating
generally the kind of property. In|
another place will be found spec
ial instructions for assessing
moneys and credits as is now re-
quired under the new law passed
by the legislature at is last ses-|
sion."
