NOT A JOKE TEAM
WiIbert Robinson Stands by
His Brooklyn Dodgers.
However, Many Believe New
Talent Is Badly Needed.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, July LIT is seldom
that a championship ball club suffers
disintegration within year after
winning a pennant, yet this is what
will happen to the champion Brooklyn
Dodgers unless present signs fail COM
pletely.
Uncle Wilbert Robinson is standing
by his club like the good, loyal old
soul he is, despite the paintings it has
received from all quarters. He in
sists that the Dodgers are not joke
ball club, and he predicts that before
the present season ends they will
prove that they rank with the upper
400" in the National league.
Yet, with all of Robby's loyalty,
the fact remains that Charles Holiday
Ebbets. the portly prexy of these same
Dodgers, is collecting a squad of new
and younger players.
Old Stars Must Go.
The venerable squire of Flatbush,
according to the best informed wags,
is planning to rehabilitate his ball
club before the season of 1918 rolls
around. He wants thoroly rejuven-
ated team to put on the National
league firing line, and it looks now
that some of the aged Dodger stars
are doomed to feel the impact of the
axe at the close of the present season.
Ebbets has few if any of his pres
the season of 1917 Most of the
Dodger contracts will expire with the
closing of the present season and only
the players who have shown Ebbets
that they are capable of playing major
league baseball from April till Oc-
tober will be kept.
1t is not timely to suggest which of
the Dodger players are likely to be
dropped, but that four or five of them,
at least, must make way for a new
crop of players being groomed by
Ebbets and Uncle Robby seems to be
certainty.
Get New Talent.
Brooklyn has secured Infielder
O'Rourke from the Utica club and ex-
poets to make a star out of him. Bill
Leard, until recently the player
manager of the Spokane club, was
recently purchased by the Dodgers.
and lines are out for others. The
younger members of the present
Dodger staff have been showing I'M
usual promise, and it appears now
that Ebbets has set about to build up
younger ball club.
Among players secured within the
past year the Dodgers have number
of youngsters, or near youngsters, in
Jimmy Smythe, Jimmy Hickmon,
Leon Galore, Bill Russell and Jack
Snyder. Smythe is an infielder Sny-
der a catcher, Hickman an outfielder
and Russell and Galore are pitchers,
the latter an especially promising
hurler, who has shown real major
league class.

REGISTRATION OF
 ALL ALIEN ENEMY '
PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED TO IS, SUE SHORTLY PROCLAMATION
 TO RID COUNTRY OF SPIES.

shington.-President Wilson is expected to issue proclamation soon requiring every alien enemy within the United States to register, as a step toward ridding the country of spies and sabotage.
 The government has virtually de- cided that this procedure is the only way open for sitting from the million Germans in the United States the few who are believed 10 be causing fires in intuition plants and warehouses, and promoting propaganda injurious to Americas s prosecution of the war.
 Under the proposed registration plan. Germans would be given a spe- eified time, probably several weeks in which to report their names, occu- patton and family or business connec tionS to postmasters or some other government agency. Those not regis tered then would be rounded up and prosecuted, and officials believe that the failure of some to enroll would give valuable clues to the identity of suspicious persons whose conduct and interest might be carefully scrutin- ized.
 Some officials recommend that every alien enemy so registered be required to report periodically in or der that watch may be maintained over their movements. Under pres ent conditions, Germans may move from one locality to another in the United States without hindrancc, pro viding they do not enter the barred zones about muniticn plants and gov ernment establishments.
 Only Germans could be compelled to register by presidential prociama- ton since Austrians. Turks and Bul- garians are not classed as enemies under the espionage law. Congress might extend the restrictions to those nationalities, however.

Increase in Various Counties Can Not Be Estimated Because Rate of Tax

Lllllt ItUCk.-
 Nearly all counties will be on a 50 per cent basis of assessment this year, as required by law, and as re- suit the total increased assessments are expected to reach close to $S0,000,- 900. The 70 counties that have re- ported show an increase of $71,109,- 05S, and the five unreported counties Will bring this figure up on an aver age of almost a million each.
 An increase of $79 100000 will bring S5S2,650 in additional taxes to the state treasury. in addition to the in creases that will go to county and city treasuries and school districts The states apportionment of taxes is 3-S mills, which is divided into many funds. The state school fund, which is three mills, will realize $240.- 000 more out of this increased assess. ment
 The increased taxes that will go to the state treasury in two years wo"ld pay the $75G,000 borrowed by the state if it could be used to redeem that indebtedness. However, a sink ing fund of one-eighth mill was creat- ed to take care of this indebtedness, and only that part of the increased taxes can be used for that purpose. The remainder will go to subdivisions of the general revenue fund, includ- ing the state educational institutions, the -hool fund, the pension fund and others that go to make up this z 3 mills.
 The increase in the various coun- ties and cities cannot be estimated, be cause the rate of taxation varies il counties, cities and school districts, and the increased assessments also Vary.
