Anniston, June 8.-(Special. )-Close and
 tied games were the most striking fea- lures in games played in the Georgia
 Alabama league last week. With the ex-
 ception of the Talladega team, every club in the league took part in a tie game
 last week. Anniston led, with two tie games, playing 15-inning game with
 Rome last Tuesday, the contest ending in 1 to tie. Then Griffin and the local club played nine innings here Friday with neither side able to produce a run LaGrange and Newman played a runless tie in LaGrange.
 Taladega, after losing streak of nine straight games, recovered last week and made a better showing than any other club in the league by winning four games and losing only two. They won three straight games from Griffin in Griffin, by the score of 3 to 1, to 1, and to 4. Garrett lost two games to LaGrange by the scores of 3 to 1 and ? to 1. How ever, they came back strong Friday and swamped Bowen's club by the score of Is to 4.
 LaGrange continued their winning streak, which has featured their playing for the past two weeks, when they played six games last week, won three, tied one and lost two They defeated Newman to last Saturday, lost to them Monday, ' to 0, and tied Matthews club 0-0 and in Tuesdays game the clubs played GO tie.

GAME FORFEITED

h Fridays game, Rome was ahead when the game ended in dispute, and Umpire Blackburn left the field. Mat | thews, manager of the Newman club, put players our as umpires and the Rome club refused TO play. Matthews then an- nounced that the game was won by Newman by the forfeit route.. This game is to be decided by President Jemison, however, and it is thought that he will decide in favor of the Rome club.
 The Newman club broke about even, they lost one to LaGrange, to 3, won one, to 0, and tied one contest, O-0 Then, they won one from Rome, 5 to g., terday is to be decfded. This makes a total for the week of two wins, two loses and one tie for Matthews club. The Newman club is a hard one to de- feat, because of-its hitting ability and it's strong and steady infield. The club that wins the pennant, from. the present out look, is going to have to win over New nan.
 Although Anniston has won only one game this week. tied two and lost two games, they have really played better ball, or as good, as any other club in the Georgia-Alabama league. They lost to Rome, to 8 and to l. on Satur- day and Monday. Then on Tuesday, in a pitchers battle between Sigmon and Liv-
 ngston, the two clubs battled for 15 in nings with the score ending 1 and |. Rome made their lone score when one of the Anniston players dropped the ball, when Werner was caught in a chase between third and home. Three innings were played here Thursday and not a score> made. Then in the first game of double header between Griffin and Anniston, the game was called with two out, in the tenth inning, the game being called with the score standing O-0 In this contest Morrison and Watson pitched wonderful ball.

GRIFFIN SHOWS POORLY

The week has not been good one for the Griffin club, which has played five games this week, tied one and lost four However, the team has not played bad ball, but has been the victim of hard luck, losing several games by small scores. The club is a good de- fensive one, but appears to be weak in it's hitting. They lost to Talladega three games by the scores of 8 to 1, 2 to 1 and to 4. They lost one game to Anniston to o, and tied Fridays game, and O..
 second Scott Chestnut appeared in the Georgia Alabama league this week under the name of Umpire Riley. Scott made his debut to the baseball world in Anniston. and started up the ladder from here. Riley, it will not be surprisipg to see do likewise. His work in the Griffin series met with entire satisfac tion to both clubs, and the fans were pleased with the way he kept the play CTS from loafing between the innings He pulled off several new and original stunts, and is working with the one idea, as Chestnut did, to go up. Off the field he is again a second Chesnutt, a Beau Brummel of 1916 However. his flow of language is not quite as free as that of Scottys
 This week will see Anniston playing in LaGrange, Griffin at Rome, Newman at Talladega. These series and all others this season will be for only three games each in place of the four-game series. which have been played in this league up to this date.

Mo 10 Cents Tax on Oleo.

4 recent issue Of one OF our dairy
newspapers infers, althp 1t does NOT
definitely state. that there il federal
tax on all oleumargarine of 10 cents
per pound. There In no such tax nor
has there ever been one on olen-
margarine except when IL is colored
yellow in imitation OF butter, Un-
colored oleomargar.nc is taxed under
the United States Internal revenuc
laws at the rate of one -fourth cent a.
pound tax SO small as to in no way
influence the retail price OF it, Reno-
waited butter IL also taxed at the same
rate. Al this time OF the year when
butter very naturally sells at high
price due to the fact that there IL
much less cream produced the oleo-
margarine manufacturers take adj
vantage of the situation to advance
the price of their product Apparently
the price of oleomargarne Is not con-
trolled by the prices OF the raw ma
terials from which 1t is produced but is
regulated 50 as to sell under the price
of butter.
Oleomargarine has never been taxed
more than one fourth cent per pound
except when 1t has been artificially
colored. thereby rendering 1t possible
TO sell it at butter prices TO un-s
suspecting purchasers. The sale or
colored oleomargarine is prohibited IN
Iowa by the state statutes.

into the Story County Bank the other
day, he wondered what was up, and
when the collector asked to speak
with him privately, the venerable
banker began to quake in his shoes for
he thought he must have made some
mistake in reporting his income and
other dire things that might happen
to the man who lodges his taxes.

Mr. Sheldon produced the report,
meanwhile figuring out how would be
the best way to inquire the amount of
his penalty.
The visitor checked over the figures
and then he told Nh Sheldon he had
made mistake in his report. "You
have paid too much tax said the
collector. When he was able to re-
cover his composure Mr.. Sheldon went
over the figures with his visitor and
was shown where he had made mis-
take and sent in too much money to

office. Just fill out this application.
