EXPRESS ASSESSMENT
CASES E,EING HEARD

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 25.-The supreme
court Is hearing the express assessment
taxation cases, which have peer ap-
pealed from the circuit court of Hughes
county. In the trial court, Judge
Hughes set aside the assessment made
by the tax commission and fixed a re-
assessment rate on the express COM
panies,-not satisfactory to either the
companies or the commissioning the
case was appealed. The cases are i'm
portant because the matter of assess
ment and taxation of express compa-
MES in South Dakota has been under
extreme controversy for some time.
This has been due to the fact the ex-
press companies have always con-
tended that they should be assessed on
ly on their actual property. wagons
horses and buildings in this state, and
not on their business.

PENN MUST IMPROVE
FOR CHTLDS CUP RACE
Quaker Grew May Be Easily
Beaten in Henley Re-
gatta Saturday

Unless there is good deal Of improve
ment by Henley day, the Pennsylvania
varsity will be hopelessly outclassed In
the Childs Cup race. Since the race with
Yale the first eight nave slumped TO a
perceptible degree. as evidenced by their
race with the Annapolis crew Since that
race they have shown signs OF slight
Improvement, but they have not reached
the condition they were in at the time
of the race with the Ellis.
Coach Wright had his three crews out
on the water early yesterday morning and
put them through hard two-minute row.
The varsity beat the juniors and the
freshmen by quarter of boat length,
but their blade work was far from good.
They have a tendency to wash out at the
finish of the stroke, and Coach Wright
is making every endeavor to correct this
fault
The water was so rough in the after
noon that Wright called off the time trial
which he had intended holding over the
Henley course and ordered the crews up
the river at an easy paddle The stroke
coming down the river never got above
the 80 mark Wright put the eights over
the quarter-mile course. in which the first
eight came out a quarter length to the
good. In the minute row, however. the
second crew led by almost half length
over the varsity with the freshmen slightly
behind the first crew.
A new set of oars was tried out by
the varsity yesterday. They are an inch
shorter outboard and an inch longer in
board, which gives the oarsmen a greater
degree of leverage. Wright is confident
that the difference in the size of the oars
will speed up the crew, as IL will allow
them to get the stroke up higher for the
shorter races.

TIGERS ARE HERE
FOR FIRST GAMES
OF THE SEASON
Detroit Series Means Big
Test for Athletics
Young Pitchers
RUBE OLDRING MAY PLAY

Tyrus Raymond Cobb, king of ball
players, and the slugging Detroit Tigers
will make their first appearance of the
season at Shibe Park this afternoon, and
the most important series of the season
for the Athletics will start. This series
is of unusal Importance because the young
Mack pitchers will be put to a test for the
first time. The offensive strength of Bos.
ton, New York and Washington is Of
doubtful quality, but the fence-breaking Of
the Tigers is a certainty
If the young hurlers can stop the
Tigers, then there is little doubt but that
the Mackmen are going to put up a great
fight for berth in the first division, and
perhaps worry the leaders. Stopping De-
trolt and Cobb is no easy task, but Man
ager Mack is confident that Bush, Myers,
Nabors and Crowell will show the Tigers
a brand of pitching which will surprise
them greatly
Crowell has been i'll for a week, but is
rounding into form again and the fans
can look for some great pitching from the
big Brunonian. He Is looked upon as the
successor to Jack Coombs in the new
pitching staff. He has pitched two splen-
did games which have been lost, but was
not as good in either as he will be later
The brilliant exhibition of Myers yes
terday removes all doubt as to his ability
and Nabors has shown enough to warrant
Ine pFeulCIlOH LIlaI ne Is going 10 ne Il stdI
before the season closes. Tom Sheehan
has not had much chance to work yet
but he also is coming along at rapid
clip.
Sheehan won two games from the Tigers
last season and may be given chance
this afternoon IL he shows anything in
warming up. Otherwise Mack will have
to warm up Crowell and Nabors and take
his pick as Joe Bush will not return to
the mound until tomorrow. Whoever
is selected is likely to make the Tigers
work for their base hits. and If Detroits
pitching is no better than 1t has been to
date the Maclmen may continue to slug.
The batting slump which has held the
team back probably was shaken off at the
expense of Walter Johnson yesterday, and
a few of the great natural hitters in the
Mack lineup who have been in slump
are likely to start picking up.
Manager Jennings has flock OF pitch
ers, but aside from Harry Covaleshie none
of them have been able to show consistent
form. Jennings admits that he has no
idea who is going to pitch today and will
not decide until he has warmed two or
three hurlers up before the game.
II is possible that Rube Oldring may
be back in the game today, while Catcher
Bill Meyer, who had finger split Sat
urday, expects to be in shape to catch
Joe Bush tomorrow. In the future Meyer
will do all the receiving for Bush. as
Schang has been injured too often catch
ing BULLET Joe" for Mack to take any
unnecessary chances. The brilliant work
of Meyer also makes II necessary for
Mack to give him as much work as pos
sible.

WOMEN GOLFERS
PLAY TO BREAK
TWO LEAGUE TIES
Deadlock in Philadelphia
Cup Race Will Fall,
Merton VS.. Cricket
SUBURBAN TIE TO GO

The prolonged tie in the women's golf
tourney for the Philadelphia Cup will
be broken after the teams of Merton and
tho Philadelphia Cricket Club get through
their tussle this afternoon at Merton.
Either Merton or the Cricket Club will
have to go into first place, despite their
apparent reluctance to do so up to this
time
In the race for the Suburban Cup. Old
York Road Country Club will meet SPRING
haven. and one or the other of the sharers
of first place will have to step to the
fore.
In the major league matches II looks
as II Merton would triumph over the
Philadelphia Cricket Club. Last week she
was successful against Huntingdon VAL
ley, thought to have the strongest team,
when Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow won from
Mrs Caleb Fox, former national finalist,
and the lower members of the II. V. C. c.
team failed to come through with wins.
Merton seems to have the edge on the
Cricket Club. Mrs. Barlow will meet Miss
Mildred Caverly, who has not been beaten
this year, but the latter is not thought to
have a real chance against the Philadel-
phia champion.
Old York Road is thought to have a
good chance against Springhaven and
whichever team wins will go into the lead
in the Suburban Cup matches.
