services the first of February before war
was declared in April, and he certainly is
the last to receive his discharge from

greatly missed especially during the cpl

few weeks of needed rest and visit
with his family at Waterville he will re-

WORDING OF LAW.
In reference to Article 1913 of
the Constitution relating to the
subject which exempts persons
who entered the military service
after the first day of January,
1916, and who have since been
honorably discharged, provided
that such persons shall pay all
poll taxes assessed against them
after said discharge" In his
opinion, Judge Hail says:
There is no statute which
specifically provides for an as
sessment of poll taxes as distin-
guished from the levy of such |
taxes made by Article 1913, which
already imposes a tax of one dol
lar for each calendar year on
every male resident of the State
between the ages of 81 and 60. /
1t becomes clear that the |
clause cannot have certain and
uniform application unless the |

II to 9 Victory.
By FREDERICK @. Lrrp.

II any Cincinnati spies sat in the Polo

news back to Redland. The kind Of bali
played by the Chicago White sox wasn't
Of a nature to sooth a Cincinnati soy.
Players who SPY on their worlds series
rivals try to fnd the weak spot of their
opponents, and 20 far as the White Sox
are concerned. "there amt no SIGH
animal"
Miller Higgins, the managerial mite
OF the Yankees, has been put on the
pan quite bit lately because his crew
isn't higher up. We have no brief for
Huesins. nor do We think he Is the
greatest manager In the world. But
AFTER watching the Yanlxs in action
against Chicago yesterday 1t is our
candid opinion that the Yankees havo
no more license to beat the Sox this
year than West street truck horse
would have to beat Man o. War over
a six furlong course.
Contrasted with the speeding Sox, the
Yanks yesterday looked about as big
and impressive as a hole in a dougllnut.
They were only the background To tho
picture. The Pallid Hose tumbled over
the Yankees in both games of double
header. and went about their task az
though baseball was their business. New
York did make the first game close.
Little Dicl1y Kerr, the pony Sox lett
handler. shut out the Yanks by a score
OF Q to o. In the second game the
Sox knocked the balls to the fences and
had the tongues of the local fiychasers
hanging out from pursuing hita They
won this slaughter by score OF IL to 2.

championship for Kid Gleason. II the
Sox smite the Yanks again to-day and
Cleveland by any chance should be de-
feated by the Athletics Chicago, like
the Reds. may clinch Its pennant at the
expense OF New York team.
Huggns gave the White .Sox the best
he had too in a pitching line. During
the double header he sent Quinn.
Mogridge, Thormahlen, Shawkey and
Shore, his entire pitching staff. against
the Sox. and the only one of the quintet
who showed the Sox anything was
Quinn.
Jack pitched tidy game In the
opener. He lost because the Sox took
a chance to score when the opportunity
came, while the Yanks locked the door
on Old Man Opportunity when he came
their way. They refused to take the
risk. and lost any way.
Yankees Miss Chance to Score.
The Yankees had their scoring chance
in the third inning of this game. Ruel
singled with one out. and on Quinn's
sacrifice bunt Kerr made a wild throw
to first. Ruel taking third and Quinn
second. Fewster next looped fly to
jackson. It was rather short. but with
the score tied 1t seemed advisable for
Ruel to take a chance and attempt to
score. AS a matter Of fact Jackson's
throw carried Schalk about ten feet from
the plate and Ruel could have scored
easily.
