GERMANY WILL ALLOW
NO EVASION OF TAXES

To forestall attempts to evade the
payment OF personal taxes by emf
grafton after the war the enactment
OF q law requiring persons liable to
such taxes to leave 20 per cent OF
their taxable property as security in
the event OF emigration has been pro-
posed in Germany.
''The bill as drafted" says the
Board of Trade Journal, in quoting
the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung,
provides that persons who have
hitherto had their permanent resi-
dence in Germany shall be liable to
payment OF personal taxes and also
$50 far as the federal states do not
order otherwise) to the payment OF
state and communal taxes for a period
OF five years after the conclusion Of
peace. Certain exemptions may be
granted. Offenders against the law.

COMMON USE OF

Common use of all tracks is to fol-

facilities in the handling of the rail-
roads war burden. 1t was learned
officially today that Director General
McAdoo soon will authorize a gigan-
tic rerouting scheme. providing for
the conversion OF parallel lines into
double-track systems. This move will
include the building OF scores OF con-
nections, but the expense, when COM

Lines Surveyed.
Robert S. Lovett, director Of the
division OF extensions and better
ments OF the railroad administration.
has Instituted a survey of all lines
with a view to combining facilities
further. He will meet McAdoo in
California and that conference is ex-
pected to result in orders for the
building OF the first links and sub
sequent rerouting OF certain Pacific
coast trains.
1t was pointed out by officials that
in many cases lines run parallel for
distance as great as 45O miles. I'm
der competitive conditions, each road
gained its share OF business. Since
the last vestige OF competition has
been wiped out by Federal operation.
officials say, the lines facilities
should be utilized 100 per cent. Only
by making them into one double-track
line can the fullest results be at
tanned, they declare.
Cut to Minimum.
While It is known McAdoo expects
ultimately to extend the plan to all

Smith
Breaks Record
At Pimlico
Son of Out of Reach Captures
Bowie Handicap-Omar
Khayyam Second

BALTIMORE, Nov. 12-George Smith
topped off the racing season of 1918
with brilliant victory in the historic
Bowie Handicap at the Pimlico track
to-day. The big black son of Out of
Reach ran the best race Of his career
and joined the first division Of thor
oughbreds when he carried $50 pounds
and easily ran the mile and half
course in the new track record time OF
2:31 1-5, smashing the old mark hung
+ up by Westy Hogan when ne won this
event with 120 pounds last year.
Omar Khayyam, with his nose on
line with the hip OF the winner. was
second. Exterminator was third, half
length away. II was by long odds the
best race Of the fall meeting and a
fitting climax to the fag end of the
season. The race had a total value
of s12,10O. George Smith received
$4,000; Omar Khayyam, $4,000; I'm
terminator, $1,000 and Corn Tassel,
which finished fourth, $500.
Fifteen horses too; uart in the strug..
gle, the biggest nela numerically OF

in order to win. Twice he was severely
interfored with during the running.
Rounding the clubhouse turn at the.
end Of five furlongs, he WAS knocked
back to next to last place.
Robinson, wAo had been trying to
hug the rail position, then steered the
bic black horse TO the outside. where
he had free path. The Porter was
clipping off fast pace, but George
Smith gradually picked up, the horses
in front of him as the field dashed
down the backstretch. Just when Ex-
terminator shot to the front on the
turn out of the backstretch, George
Smith electrified the spectators by fair
ly running rings around his ,oppo,,
nents. He dashed into the lead and
opened up four lengths.
Exterminator tried to catch him ana
failed. Omar Khayyam then came with
rush. He closed up, but Robinson,
realizing George Smith was racing
strong and had safe lead, sat still
and permitted the black stallion to win
easily on his own courage. Omar
Khayyam Just got up In time TO peat
cut Exterminator by saddle girths.
1t was the first time in the history o.
the American turf where three winners
Of the Kentucky Derby have fought out
the finish of big stake between tnem.
George Smith won the Derby in 1916
Omar Khayyam in 1917 and Extermina-

With George Burns of athletics Second
Wally Pipp Only Yankee in
300 Class-Cleveland
Wins Team E1onors

Captain Tyrus Raymond Cobb. now in
the Chemical Warfare Service overseas,
led the American League in batting for
the season of 1917, according to the
averages made known yesterday. Al
though the many times champion failed
to hit his stride until late in the sea-
son, he led his other rivals with q per-
centage Of 1892, which was one point
lower than his last years mark.
While Cobb did not register the
greatest number of hits (161), his all
around ability was conspicuous He
went to bat 42l times. scored 80 times
himself and drove out three home runs.
Burns, of Philadelphia, leads with hits,
It's, and has a batting average OF 1852.
Then follow George Sisler, St. Louis,
with .341r and Iris Speaker, Cleve-
land, .319.
The withdrawal of many prominent
players for service. abroad and WAY
WORK t in this country, is responsible for
the fact that only thirteen are in the
800 batting circle. However, some of
these took part in comparatively few
games, in comparison to those PLAYERS
mentioned above
The Boston Red Sox, world cham
pions, could only get one representative
in this group. This was Babe Ruth,
who complied percentage of 300.
Wally Pipp, the Yankee first baseman,
was the only member of his team to
finish we'll up, hitting the ball for .304,
to finish eleventh in the standing.
Cleveland displaces Detroit in the
team batting, with an average OF .261.
st. Louis follows with .259 Washing
ton is third with .256. In the matter
of hits collected, Washington leads
with 1,143. Cleveland and New York
are tied for second with 1,0S5 each.
What will be surprising to many fans
will be the fact that Babe Ruth did not
have clear title to the home run
honors. He poled out eleven circuit
hits during the season, but Walker, of

New Workers may yet have the op-

few days ago that these teams would
meet this coming Saturday on Soldiers
Field, Cambridge. but it was found
that the Harvard field had been en-
gagged for that day, SO the dickering
for game here was begun.
A contest between Harvard and
Columbia would doubtless prove the
biggest drawing card of the season
so far as New York is concerned. II
has been fairly we'll determined that
contests between service teams or be-
tween a service combination and 8 COL
lego eleven do not appeal to the foot
ball public here. The Crimson and
the Blue and White, on the other hand.
would doubtless attract a large crowd
and the United War Work Campaign
Fund. to which the receipts would be
