Washingtons other run was ac-
counted for by Val Picinich without
assistance in the seventh. when he
caught one Of Quinn's curves on the
end of his bat and drove it into the
left field bleachers for a jog around
the circuit. 1t was sicinichs hrst
bingle of the season, and he further
/, betterd his record by dropping
Texas Lacquer into left for two bases
, in the ninth. Val reached third on
Johnson's death. only to be left when
Judge was victmized on strikes.
The Griffs had other opportunities
to score. notably in the fifth. when
Johnson started with treme ndous
whack to left center for three sacks.
/ Judges fly was too short for sacri-
flee. and johnson was run down on the
line when Milan bounced to Peck.
Walter jockeyed enough for Zeb to
reach second and he moved up notch
when Rice got life on Peck's high
toss of his offering. but Roth failed to
| help. With Rice and Roth on second
i and first by means of an infield hit
| and walk respectively, in the third,
they were moored when Shannon sue
cumbed to Quinn's pitching prowess.
Ellerbe acquitted himself creditably
I in his first appearance of the cam
paign at short. He alone of the Griffs
/ failed to get the ball into safe terri
tory. but he made a valiant bid for a
bingle in the eighth when he chased
Ruth to deep right center to clutch
his lusty wallop.

the coast the past winter and to little
work this spring. appears to be nearly
twenty pounds overweight, with the

The proportion of the wealth of
these counties, thus exempted from
support of county schools and con-
centrated on the support of local
graded schools, probably exceeds
the assessment of the rest of the

much left to tax for schools in Bell

INCOME TAX

December Is is the last day for
the payment of the 4th installment
of the income and eXcess-profits
taxes due this year. To avoid pen
atty, the tax must be in the office
Of the Collector of Internal Revenue
Louisville, KY, or branch offices by
midnight of dat date. -~.
Inquiries reaching the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue indicate
u belief on the part of taxpayers
that they have 10 days grace on
this installment Such a povision
was contained in the 1917 Revenue
Act, but was removed by. the Act of
1918.
Payment OF the Attn installment
may be made in cash or by money
order or cleck. The Bureau OF In
ternal Revenue urges that whe--
ever possible, payment be made hy
check or money order. This meth
cd helps the taxpayer by saving him
trip to the Collectors office and
avoids congestion at the Cashiers
window. Check or money order
should be made payable to "Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue"
Bills will be sent to taxpayers,
but failure to receive a bill does
not relieve the taxpayer of his obli-
cation to pay on time.
