KING OF AMATEUR CHAMPS JOINS
UNCLE SANS FIGHTING FORCES

Earl Baird, Of Seattle, holder Of the
national and far-western amateur
boxing titles at 125 pounds. has prov
ed his patriotism by enlisting in the
Washington Coast Artillery corps.
Baird first started to fight in 1913
at 108 pounds, winning his first cham
pionship in that year in Just 81 sec
onds at the Pendleton, Ore, Round
up. Since then he has travelled 22,-
900 Males vs. an amateur, wearing the
colors Of the Seattle Athletic club.
The National Amateur Champion
ships at Boston in April gave Baird
his chance of a lifetime, and he took
complete advantage Of 1t. Seattle
citizens had paid his expenses by pop
ular subscription and he was deter
mined to win.
The first night he defeated Charlie
Parker, Boston entry, in one round.
The next night he met and vanquish-
ed two Of the cleverest amateur feath-
ers in the country. Myron Mitchell
of Milwaukee. was conquered in three
rounds, and Beecher, Of New York,
was saved from a knockout at the
end of three rounds.
Rated as Americas most successful
amateur champion, Baird says he
values the friendships he had made
in the amateur game more than the
wealth he might win as a professional.
That's the reason he has lever turn

WORLD BASEBALL
PREDICTED NOW
Jimmy Callahan Declares
Work Behind Trenches
Will Extend the Game

Jimmy Callahan, deposed leader Of
the Pittsburg Pirates, has visions Of
International baseball after the war.
He says he likes to think Of the trip
the White Sbx and Giants took four
years ago, which was missionary in
its nature. The teams played to vast
crowds in Europe and Asia and the
sportsmen Of the old world cheered
every time a hit was made, whether
it vas foul Or fair.
Callahan says the real missionary
work is going on now behind the
trenches, where the Americans and
Canadians are playing baseball for
the e~diflcation and delight Of the
Tommies and poilus as we'll as for
their own pleasure.
Many Of the men at the head Of
baseball in this country are now COM
menting on the probability of interna-
tional ball. The game has already
proven one Of the great melting pots
Of America. Practically every nation
ality has contributed big league stars.
This would seem to refute any idea
that baseball has beer cornered by
America and cannot be developed
anywhere else.
Looking over the records Of the
represented by Lajoie, Cicotte, Dubuc,
Fabrique. Ruth and many others.
Ireland has contributed the Delen-
hantys, Pat Moran, Moriarity, Killifer
and a host Of others. Scotland gave
us McQuillan and Chalmers. Bates
and many others are of English des-
cent.
Italy is represented by Abbatichio,
Gutsto and Ping Bodie, while many
great ball players have come from
Germany, Bohemia and Poland.
Cuba is represented by Gonzales.
Marsans, Cueto, AragonN and several
more. while both China and Japan
have produced some splendid dia-
mond talent.

in an exhibition game with the Balti-
more club, he fell and injured mis-
pitching arm. For a year he was un-
able to use an overland delivery.
Last year he used nothing but a
side-arm motion. He is rapidly re-
gaining his overland delivery, which
has brought him much of his success.
He is also a spit baller, with a deceiv-
ing change Of pace.
The Dallas management recently
had an offer for Conley from the Phil
adelphia Americans, but refustd it.
Dallas is hungry for a pennanr and
ESQ long as Conley is rushing them to-
ward it at a steady pace, the club

Nearly all the games won were
remarkably close. Four were shut
outs and in one he allowed no hits,

signs of remarkable control and intel
ligence on the mound. He has self
confidence, but shows he hasn't an

DEATH KNELL SOUNDS
FOR BUTTE BASEBALL

Spokane, Wash. July 1s.-League
baseball in the Northwest, insofar as
the present season is concerned, has
become history. The death knell was
sounded yesterday when the Billings
team, formerly the Tacoma Tigers Of
the Northwestern League, which was
scheduled to play with the Spokane
aggregation, continued its train jour-
ney to Tacoma where it will disband.
The reason for the calling off Of the
scheduled game here was given
through a telegram from President
Davey of the Butte club to the effect
that Billings promoters had failed to
give h promised support to the Ia
coma team. Spokane will disband
Immediately and organized baseball
will be given a long rest.
Present indications are thai Butte
and Great Falls will continue to play
out their post series.

Dallas, Texas, July 18.-Rube Mar
guards crown for the consecutive VIC
tory record is being disputed and Bax-
ter Sparks record Of FL consecutive
games is in danger of being smashed.
And by a right handler, too!
Baxter Sparks climbed to the top
by his left arm, when he pitched for
the. Yazbo, Miss, club and won 81
games in a row in 1904. So did
Marquard when he rung up the ma
jor league record with 10 consecutive
victories for the New York Giants in
1912.
But here comes John "snipe" Con-
ley. of the Dallas club of the Texas
league, and brings home a record
to- equal, II not surpass. that Of Rich
ard. In fact, he claims the record
for right handlers.
Conley's right hand won him
to consecutive games this sea-
son for the Dallas club, and he
is relying on 1t to hang up a new
record for all leagues.

Whitesox Take Pair.

Chicago, July 18.-Chicago won
both games of the double header from
Washington yesterday. lin the first
game Cicotte allowed the visitors but
one hit. Only one other man reached
first, Rice, who walked in the seventh.
By hitting Dumont hard in the sec
ond third innings and with n err
ror, Chicago scored all its runs.
1.-THE second ganre, 4 pitching duel
between Walter Johnson and Faber,
went into the eleventh inning before
the deciding run was scored. Weaver
was hit OF the ankle by a pitched ball
and John Collins ran for him. Eddie
Collins followed with a triple to right
and j. Collins counted. Risberg's wild
throw to the plate on Milan's easy
grounder in the ninth enabled Shanks,
who had tripled, to score.

II Cleveland can get some good
pitching to help this pair out it will
be a decided factor in the next
month or two on the American cir
cult. The extra pitcher is what is
worrying the club management now.
No club has ever won a pennant
without at least three great pitchers.
Most of them have had four or even
five, out the remarkable drive of the
Boston Braves in 1914, with three
pitchers working on alternate days,
shows what that number can accom-
plish If going right.

INFORMATION FOR TAXPAYERS.
Difference Between Actual and AS
sessed Values Explained.

Taxpayers Of Donaldsonville are re
n1ested bv Assessor A. S. St. Amant
to call at his office in the courthouse
and furnish him with an estimate OF
the actual valuation of their property.
The assessment rolls are now being
complied, and it will be of great as
sistance to Mr.. St. Amant, besides IN
surfing a better understanding and
more satisfaction all around, If IN
dividual taxpayers will make 1t a
point to visit the assessors Office IN
person and submit their own estimate
of the actual worth of their property
In this connection, it is pointed out
bv Mr.. St. Amant that many taxpay-
ers are under the impression they Will
have to pay taxes at the present rate
on the assessed valuation OF their
property as sworn to by them, and
hence, as these values will in almost
every instance be considerably great
er than the figures now listed, their
taxes will be materially increased.
Such is not the case. 1t 1ssthe purpose
of the Board of State Affairs to OBJ
tain as accurately as possible the ac-
tualS cash NdludLloil VI a.,
within the state of Louisiana, and,
with this information at hand, to go
before the legislature next year and
have the state tax levy reduced to a
rate that, applied to the increased as
sessment. will he proportlonate to
the amount formerly paid by property
owners on the lower valuations. In
the meantime, when the board meets
in July to review the assessments 1ol
state purposes, it will determine the
nercentage of actual cash valuatlor
on which property will be assessed
throughout the state, and that per
centage will apply uniformly IN ever
parish in Louisiana.
To illustrate, say the present as
sessment of Ascension parish IS II
round figures s4,000,000. With ;
tax rate of 10 mills, this would ylelt
a revenue of $4,000. Suppose tina
under the new system of Valuation
the assessment should be increased
to 100000. A percentage OF tnl
valuation on which property Will b.
assed will be fixed by the Boar,
Of State Affairs, and the tax rate VIII
apply to this amount and not to tn
actual valuation. Should this per
centage be fixed at 40, the aggregat
amount on which taxes would be col
lected in Ascension parish would b
$4,000,00O, the same as at present

BEING TAUGHT TO SAVE.
High School Pupils Learning Valu-
able Lesson in Economics.

Tn order that cur pupils may form
habits of thrift at time of life when
their life habits are formed, we have
introduced into the DonaldsonVllles
High School, with the cooperation OF
the two local banks, a system Oh
school savings accounts. y
Now, for this plan to succeed, 1t is
necessary that the pupils be taught
the Importance of themselves earning
and saving, rather than saving money
given them by their parents or others.
To this end, wish to appeal to
every parent, every business and pro-
'lAAssional man, and every other cH7,
zen, to cooperate with us in this vital
work by finding jobs for the boys and
girls who haye adopted this thrift
plan, or by or Gting opportunities tor
those who are worthy and ambitious
Some mothers can help by paying
their daughters to wash the dishes, or
sweep the floors, or tidy the rooms.
Many fathers can give their boys reg
ular Jobs or chores, and pay them
small weekly wages. Many mousse
holders and professional men can al
ford to hire the boys by the week to
sweep and keep the sidewalks clean
in front of their houses or o1hces'
The business men can cooperate by
employing the boys to do odd JOBS on
week days or run errands on Satur-
days,
This is not in the nature of an APP
neal for a donation, nor is it intended
as a tax on the community. 1t is
not necessary that you pay more fol-
this work than you would pay others
In fact, not cent more should be
paid the boys and girls working un-
der this plan than would be paid any
one else. They should be taught that
nothing is worth while that is not pro:
cured through their own efforts anc
labor, and that ''the laborer is worthy
of his hire"

REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA.

The startling news comes from
Russia that the ruling dynasty IN that |
country has been overthrown and
new government formed of which
Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovltch,
younger brother of Car Nicholas
has been declared regent. The troops
of the Petrograd and Moscow gar
risons have joined the revolutlonlsts'
and the authority of the Duma, the
country's parliamentary body-Whlch
had refused to recognize an Imperial
ukase declaring it's adjournment-ls
recognized generally by the military
and naval forces as well as the peo-
pie of the nation.
The immediate provocative cause
of this remarkable uprising was the
shortage Of food among the working
and poorer classes of Petrograd, and
the belief of the populace that the
affairs of the government were BENG
mismanaged by a corrupt pro-Ger-
man CLIQUE surrounding the ear
The Dumas declaration of lnde-
pendence inf1amed the fires OF dls-
content and revolt, and after few
DAYS of disorder and desultory street
ngnClng at IeIIoB4oo' III
police were driven into" hiding ana
the ranks of the revolutionists RAPID,
" grew until they included nearly all
the troops of the garrison, the newly
organized administration was IN com
pIete and undisputed control OF the
machinery of the government,
The abdication of Gar Nicholas IS
imminent, if not already announced
and the attitude Of the country TO-
ward the question of continuing the
pending conflict with the Ieutonlc
bowers is manifested in the popular
slogan, push the war" So, instead
of being source of aid and comtorl
to Germany, this overturning OF the
government of one Of her most pow
erful antagonists seems likely rathei
to strengthen the cause of the entente
allies very greatly and doubtless te
hasten an outcome Of the gigantic IN
ternational struggle in their favor.
The Russian revolution has an
other significance. 1t marks the on or
ward and overpowering march OF the
spirit of liberal and popular govern
ment that is destined to sweep abso
lutte monarchies and individual des
potisms from the face of54le earth
