THE SPORTL|GHT.
On the Edge Of April.
BY GRANTLANp RICE,

On the Edge OF April.
On the edge of April-safe across the
SHOWS,
Back among the borders of the base
hit and the rose:
Safely out of winter, pointing on to
June,
Can you blame fellow if he whistles
of q tune?
On the edge of April--drifting into
spring;
Where the inashie flickers and the base
hit echoes I'ing,
Romping out the highway fun of pep
and joy
Can You blame a fellow il he chortles
''Attaboy;"
On the edge Of Aprll--where the wild
pulse throbs;
BACK among the Speakers and the
Jacksons and the Cobbs;
Safely out of winter, drifting into
spring,
Can you blame a fellow with a little
song to sing?
Joe Jackson" writes an earnest
non combatant, will beat out both
Speaker and cobb this season. Joe is
due and he is now back at his best
stride. Put this into your pipe and
give it a puff" We begrudge Joseph
no triumph. lie has it in him to do
all of this. But when he beats out
mans job from April II to October 6.
No one else has done it since 1906, a
matter of the merry, fleeing years.
The Four Best.
over the long span where the records
count the four greatest hitters of base
ball are Cobb, Jackson--no you didn't
guess the rest. They are not Wagner,
Lajoie or Speaker They are Pete
Browning and Ed Delehanty.
Pete Browning hit 1856 for Il CAM
paigns. Ed Delehanty batted .34s for
l6 campaigns. These marks are all
above the grand averages compiled by
Lajoie, Wagner or Speaker.
Iajoie's mark of 1888 for II years
is one of the most renia rkable turns
OF sport. But it is no more remark able
than Wee Willie kcelcr's mark of .S44
for 10 years.
The Present Era.
1t Is something to furnish q thrill,
II you are at all inclined toward thrills
to know that baseball today holds the
two men who lead the field for all time.
The Old game has doomed along now
for 80 years. 1t has known more than
its share of wonders. 1t has known
great hitters, back in the times when
base hits came easier than they come
today, if the general averages count
for anything.
But III all the records of so years.
involving over 10000 players, no one
has yet come to the batting marks set
by Ty Cobb and jackson.
Cobb is six points above Jackson, and
Jackson is seven points above the next
man in sight. This may not mean SO
much to the average citizen. But when
it is established over q 10 or Is wear
span, it means what is technically
known as an awful lot.
Cobb and Jackson are likely to fin
lsh their careers with records beyond
all competition. They may hit the slide
later. but no evidence of any impend-
ing slump is now in sight

PERKINS HOLDS
A SPLIT EXISTS
Progressive Chairman Turns
Down Invitation to 6. o. P.
Banquet in New York.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-GeOrge
w. Perkins. chairman Of the ma
tional progressive party, issued a
statement here Monday night in
which re declared that: The sew
eral actions taken Monday after
noon by the executive committee of
the republican national committee
over the protest Of Chairman Will
cox and other members of the com
mittee. had failed &c heal the breach
between the repu 0lican and pro-
gressive parties" This, he added,
left no doubt that the split between
the republican and progressive par
ties was as wide open as ever.
Mr.. Perkins and several other
progressive lea GERS failed 10 attend
a dinner given Monday night by
Chairman Wilcox Of the republican
national committee. His statement
said in part:
AT o'clock we withdrew our
acceptances to Mr.. Willcox's dinner
TO the republican executive and cam
paign committees
I'VE do this because of the sew
eral actions taken Monday afternoon
by the executive committee over the
protest of Chairman Wilcox and
other members of the committee.
Briefly the action OF the execu-
tive committee was a deliberate and
wilful reflection upon Chairman
Wilcox and an affrOnt TO every pro-
gressive voter in the country"
The selection Of John Adams to
be vice chairman OF the republican
national committee, was reported TO
have been in opposition TO the
wishes of Chairman Wilcox and a
victory for the "old guard" faction
of the party.

Earthquake Shock
Lasts Halt an Hour

Washington, June ia heavy
earthquake lasting almost an hour and
half was recorded this morning in
seismographs at Georgetown unlver-
sity. The shocks were first recorded
at 2;O7 a. m. and reached their maxi
mum between 2:48 and 2:52 o'clock.
The quake continued until 1902 a. m.
Experts were unable to determine
definitely whs-e the center Of the dis
turbance was located, but judged it
was considerable distance from Wash
ington. They believed it not unlikely
that it might have been somewhere
along the Mediterranean.
Earth shocks have been occurring.
with frequency since the beginning of
this month. The seismographs have
recorded almost continuous activity,
very slight generally. There have
been several pronounced earthquakes,
including one in San Salvador and
that in Terni, Italy, last Monday.

BUSINESS men
PROPOSE TO FIGHT
TAX INCREASES
County Clerk Dewey Says I'M
possible to Hear All Pro-
tests; Some Raises One
Thousand Per Cent.

Omaha business men are lining up
for wholesale protests to the County
Board of Equalization, now sitting,
against the enormous boosts III tax
assessments, running into millions,
made by County Assessor Fitzgerald.
The gigantic raises, as first related
exclusively in The Bee, were verb
fed when the approximately 5000 no.
tices sent out Monday night we're
delivered. ,..
Only a handful of protests have
been heard so far, but stampede OF
indignant wholesalers, manufacture
ers, in fact representatives OF prac..
tically every line of business, as well
as hundreds Of private individuals, is
anticipated in the next few days.
Can't Hear All Protests.
County Clerk Dewey believes it will
be impossible to hear even a small
per cent of the protests during the
twenty days the body sits.
IF all those who received notices
of raises in their assessments appeared
before the board, it would take sew
eral months to hear their protests"
said County Clerk Dewey. when
the big fellows begin coming in it
will take several hours for each OF
them. In my opinion it will be i'm
possible to finish, or anywhere near
finish, in twenty days, the period pro-
vided by law for the board to sit.
Some of the boosts as printed IN
The Bee Tuesday were startling
enough, but those in smaller figures
are even more so, on comparative
scale.
Boosts of 500 to 1000 per cent are
common. Assessments, based on re-
turns made on schedules and the sub
seuuent amounts fixed by County AS
SCISSOR Fitzgerald, doubled and tripled
are the rule.
One of the "eye-openers" in the sub.
joined list, fer example, is that OF
