 Ross was on the mound for the visit ors and his southpaw hurling was easily solved by Moley's men, but the elon- gated twirler had a horseshoe in his hindpocket and escaped with the ver- dict. The stick work of Dixie Carroll and Boss Barger materially aided Ross who himself, showed liking to Wal ker's offerings.
 For the Barons Red Smith and Ho- mer Haworth drove in most of the runs, while Bill Southworths fielding was of the sensational order. Bill picked one off the fence with his gloved hand on one occasion, and a little later raced in just behind second base and nabbed liner after a hard run.
 Press Cruthers left last night for Louis ville, and Slattery quit the game some time back so Mike Hauser was sent to second and Monte Priest to first. Both performed faultlessly and looked like reg ulars in their positions.

INCOME TAX RULES
REGARDING PROFIT

so many conflicting statements
have been made regarding income tax
requirements relative to mining stock
transactions that an explanation
should be made for the benefit of in
vestors," said William ]. Kelly, d sputy
internal revenue collector for Nevada.
this morning.
mo stock investor who made a pro-
fit last year and then lost the profit
in a subsequent stock transaction Will
be required to pay an income tax on
such profit" said Mr.. Kelly, unless
he is still carrying the STOCK acquired
in the subsequent and losing transac-
ton
Under the provisions of the income
and excess profits acts, all profitable
stock transactions during the year
1917 must be reported by persons re-
quired to file a tax return. They do
not have to be reported in detail
in other words, the exact number of
shares do not have to be reported un.
less specially demanded by a govern,
ment agent. If a stock transaction
proved Improbable, under the provi
sions of the law, it need not be report
ed at all.
"All persons who are required TO
make income tax returns, who made
profitable stock investments during
1917, must report these with the re-
turns. If, during 1917, they made un-
profitable stock investments and ac-
tually took a loss when they sold their
improbable stock. such losses are al
lowed to be reported for deduction
from their profits. but such deductions
will not be allowed in excess of the
stock profits made
I'm cases, however, where profits
were made in one investment and af-
a subsequent investment was made IN
ter the stock was sold at a profit
which the stock shares declined in
value, no deduction will be allowed Oh
account of the deprecated stock pur-
chased unless it was actually sold AZ
loss during 1917. In such cases
the losing transaction must have been
actually closed by the stock having
been sold during the year 1917 before
deduction becomes allowable.
Persons who made profits in stock
transactions and then reinvested their
profits in this or other states in farms,
merchandise or other property, cannot
by such reinvestment, escape the in
come tax" continued Mr.. Kelly. Com
version of their profits from money to
some other form of property will not,
under any circumstances, permit the7n
to escape the operations of the federal
tax acts.
Employees of the State of its politi-
cal subdivisions are not required to
pay an income tax upon their salaries.
However, if they made other earnings
during the year, whether from their
own labor or from investments suff1-
cient to bring such earnings within
the operation of the tax laws, then
they must make tax returns" " Reno
