F'avorale comment is heard re-
garding the action Of the Levy Court
in having dec ded to have a thorough
assessment made of New Castle county

In rural hundreds, including stock,
the assessment is considered TO be
about half the value of the property.
Under the action of the Levy Court on
Tuesday the assessors in the city and
county are to leave a blank at every
house and on it the owner of the prop

value of the property. Unless such

WONDER ATHLETESOF Yesterday WHERE ARE THEY
Van Hareu Of the Giants Is Kept Busy Collecting His Rem
By +. /. MORIhRTY.


OAKLAND, Cal. Nov. IS George
Van Haltren, former famous center
fielder of the New York Giants. lives
in this city. He owns several rented
houses. les real estate operations
gives rise to a belief that he may be
well OF Van admits that he only
works when the notion strikes him.
Al 552 Merrimac street Van Halt
rem resides in his own home. Before
he became national baseball star
he learned the lather and plaster
trade. He takes a turn at 4 now and
then, but his real estate investments
appear to have provided against old
age
Rusie and Meelin were famous
twirlers Of their day, but fans Of the
old time recall that Van Haltren iig-
ured in many a play which helped
these master pitchers develop their
reputation
DO you wonder how Van Haitren
looks today2 More sparse his hair
a few more lines I'm the face, but not
one whit less erect the stalwart figure
which tr'pped IN quick, short steps to
the plate. Van Haltren is straight as
an arrow at fifty years Of age. He
seems young in comparison with
many men ten years his junior. On
the ball field Van Haltren gave the
Impression OF a giant in proportion.
He is less than six feet in heighth by
an inch.
Van Haltren weighs 16S pounds in
his street clothes. In his baseball
prime he tipped the beam at 1862, with
a uniform on. Therein res the secret
Of Van Haltren's physical endurance.
He did not have to wear himself out
making weight from one summer to
another And today he weighs but
six pounds more than when his speed
had the National League guessing.
No baseball fan OF few years back
need be advised regarding Van Halt
rem g reputab on as a mighty wielder
OF the stick and a scorch'ng outfield-
er. Any man who can remain ten
years with New York and retire only
because of a broken leg, is a fair TO
middling ball player.
Born in 1866, Van Haltren opened
his big league career with the famous
Chicago White Stockings. in 1887. He
played with the great Arson club for
three years. Brooklyn, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh had him successfully
until the season OF 1894 saw him with
the Giants. Here he remained until
1904 Running to second base one
afternoon Van broke his leg.
Van Haltren ended his playing ca
reer in the coast league and later be
came a coast league umpire. The big
bali player married early in life. Mrs.
van Haltren and two daughters com
prise the family. One of the girls is
married.
Like many other great ones OF his
time. Van Haltren cannot but regret
that the hg salaries now paid stars
of ne diamond we're lacking in his
day But he does no particular fnan-
cial worrying.
Van Haltren comes OF Dutch ances-
try and inherits a strain Of shrewd-
ness which kept his money at home
He seemed to sense the fact that a
rainy day comes for ball players. like
every one else. SO when they are
