Manner of Collecting War
Tax on Baseball Is An
nounced by Commission.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 1.-THE exact
method OF collecting war tax at base

has been announced today by the na-
tionaI baseball commission Every
person entering on a pass will drop
ten cents into the box conveniently
located at the turnstile entrance The
usual tax viii be assessed on those

The commission announced that
this matter was taken up In WASH

sioner Of internal revenue, and his
several assistants
Finding just.
The finding said in part:
when the rain check proposition
was thoroughly explained to the IN.
ternal revenue commissioner al
Washington, q ruling was quickly
made by him that no second tax
would be collected where the holder
OF an admission ticket had not wit
messed the performance. As to passes
free admissions-the scheme sug-
gested by the committee was ap-
proved. This is in line with the joint
action Of the two major leagues al
the conference held in Chicago IN
December last. when II was thoug nj
advisable TO collect ten cents from
the holder of every pass. which en-
titled him to a Is cent seat
at viii only be necessary Tor the
holder to drop 10 cents into box
at the turnstile entrance each time
the same is presented.
TO secure a proper ruling, cover
ing season boxes that are sold for a
fixed price, was a complicated mat
ter, but II the rule stands as now
outlined in the regulations Il should
be satisfactory to all clubs, because
It covers not only the reservation for
a season box which does not include
any admission for any games. but also
covers the sale of a season box that
does not include admissions for all
the games
BOOSTS BIeaeher Admission.
"An important regulation recently
promulgated by the authorities
makes 1t permissible, where 1t Is
found impracticable to handle PEN
MES, TO advance the 25 cent admission
to 50 cents. and the 10 cent seats TO
IS cents, conditioned that adequate
lobby signs are printed as stated in
the regulation. This VIII permit the
two major leagues to increase the
prices on bleacher and IS cent seats,

IS NOTHING NEW
National League Records

Back in 1879.
Bx E ]. LANG Az.

There Is nothing new about the
scheme Of reporting the number OF
runs batted in BY the players. This
was done IN 1879 in the National
league, as can be proved by scores
now IN the possession OF Jacob J
Stein formerly president Of the Buff
falo International League club
The runs batted in scheme was
started anew IN 1907. That year
Hans Wagner Of the Pittsburg club
proved to be the Zimmerman OF 1917.
Wagner's name again topped all the
others in 1903 and 1903.
In 1910 Sherwood Afagee OF Phiia-
delphia drove in the greatest number
Of runs. In 1911 Frank Schultz of
the Cubs gained the honors that pre-
viously had been Wagner's and Ma
gees.
Zimmerman, the 1917 leader. forged
to the front in 1919 IN 1913 the best
swatter was Cravath OF Philadelphia
AIagee came back in 1914. Cravath
pulled a return stunt In 1915. Chase
set the pace in 1916 and Zimmerman
repeated In 1917.

EW YORK, Feb. En- spite OF
nj the spasmodic talks OF bouts
/ for championships in the vari-
Gus divisions, IN reality there Is little
likelihood of any titular events being
staged until after the war. In the
first place, a majority OF the top
notch boxers are now engaged as
boxing instructors at the various can
tonments IN this country. The list
includes practically all Of the cham
pions with the exception OF Pete Her
man, generally recognized as the title
holder IN the bantamweight class;
Nike O'Dowd, who holds the middle
weight crown, and Jess Willard, the
heavyweight king. Il also includes
nearly all of the leading contenders
for the various titles.
The fact that the government au-
thorities have determined to put the
brakes on the boxers, who since en-
tering this branch Of the service have
been wont to fit hither ana thlther,
plying their fistic trade with as much
zest as If there were no var, means
there is practically no chance for
them to dodge their duties long
enough to engage in Championship
fracas.

IN In6 EECOuQ pldCti the GOAu4tAoA
Of boxing in this country at the pres
ent time is not as flourishing as some
would have the public believe. In
those places where 20 round bouts to
4 decision are permissibl they are
in districts where the promoters must
largely depend upon the fans who
would travel from New York. Chicago
AMI other big cities
This entails railroad travel, and as
the government frowns upon all but
business trips, the chance Of running
special trains Is reduced to a mini
mum. II not eliminated altogether.
To e marked degree this handicap
would preclude the attendance en-
masse Of those who generally pay the
heaviest part Of the freight for big
bouts.
Add to this handicap the 10 per
cent war tax which Is exacted on all
amusements. and It can readily be
ford, and fewer would be willing to
pay the big prices for tickets which
have been charged IN thu past for
championship events.
Putting all these things together,
