Guillemot, which is French for all

and crossed the battleship play

he will gallop around Madison

customers that he Is the fastest
gunner that Europe has developed
since Hindenburg.
Joe does all kinds of sprinting-
long distance and local. He can run
as long as a busted bathtub spigot

During the battles which some OF
our readers may remember Joe was

was kissed by a whiskered general

bravery, but he got more hardware

On the way over, the corporal
worked out on the deck of his boat,

INCOME TAX
. \ HITS MOGUL
Philadelphia Magnate Explains
Why New Workers. Offer
, Such Fortunes.
BY SID MERCER.

The corporation income tax, among
other things, Is named by William r..
Baker, owner of the Phillies, as one
OF the reasons why certain major
league clubs are badly handicapped
In competing for players on the open
market.
Baker recently made pubic
statement I'm defense OF himself and
Connie Mack, who have been severe
ly criticized in Philadelphia this win
ter for what appears TO be a set pol
icy OF standing aloof from the bid
ding for experienced players who
could strengthen the Phillies and
Athletics.
az have never offered alibis for the
Phillies." said Baker but feel that
this is the time to point out the
danger of the best baseball talent
being assembled in large cities like
, New York and Chicago, where they
play Sunday baseball and pile up big
profits.
1.-THE reason why / cannot run my
bids for players up into the hundreds
of thousands is because the business
j do does not justify such lavish ex-
penditures as the two New York clubs
can afford.
- MADE HUGE rOhAONES.
.'I have reason to believe that the
Yankees and Giants last season each
made profits between half and
three-quarters of million dollars
for their owners on a comparatively
small capitalization.
I'VE all know that after the first
per cent is taken out that Uncle
Sam dips in for a big sbare OF what
remains. 1t is therefore good busi-
ness for these clubs to spend big
money for players, because they can
charge these expenditures off to cost
of operation. Otherwise the money
goes out In taxes anyway.
This accounts, 1 think. for the
amazing offer made by the Giants
for Hornsby and Groh and for the
alacrity, with which the Yankees
stepped out and paid a record price
for, Ruth.
THEY CANNOT COMPETE.
IT read the other day that one of the
New York clubs had bought up close
to 100000 worth of talent from other
major league clubs and the minors.
Probably this club may not get one
really high-class player in the lot,
but 1t Is not gambling because the
money would pass through the tax
channel anyway.
"Those Of US who operate in smaller
cities, where baseball attendance is
comparatively light even under favor
able conditions, cannot complete with
the Weather clubs for the reason
that we have no surplus to dispose of
and are necessarily confined to small
or cash OUTLAWS.
!. $50 until there is some way to off
set this handicap, we must move along
conservative lines, watch the waiver
lists closely and try to develop our
own stars"

Rented Homes

l hear men saying every day,
as l loaf round the village
square, ooh, paying rent has
made me gray, and filled my life
with carking care. The rented
house, in pre-war years. was
something people might endure
but later came the prohteers,
who raised the price and made
men poor. l live in yonder dingy
shack, whose shingles flop in
every gale; the rent l pay has
sprained my back and used up
all my hard-earned kale. And
now l plan to build a home, how
ever humble it may be, and life
therein will be a pome, a picnic
fraught with harmless glee.
Long years I've trod the same
old rut, which rut I shall no
longer tread; I'll build myself
lowly hut, and bid the landlord
soak his head" Methinks a
million weary guys, from whom
the rent-hogs drew a groan, will
in the nearby future rise, and
put up shanties of their own.
The bitter years have made
them long to own their rooftrees
and their homes, wherein to
ehirp the evening song, and swat
the flies upon their domes. The
tenants in disorder stand, for
they've been charged and
soaked to death, but they will
build throughout the land when
they've had time to get their
breath. And they will spend
long peaceful years in their own
shacks of tin or wood, and so
the crimes of prohteers may in
the end bring lasting good:

unanimous consent would be given for
a vote on the immigration bill before

delay in passing the immigration bill
meant that items of thousands of un-

stricken, are to be let into the country.
! Pointing out that the Johnson bill
was the first important measure pass
ed by the House. and that it had oeen
held in the Senate committee a month.
the Georgia senator gave direct notice
that~ appropriation bills would be
blocked If the immigration measure
was not allowed to come to vote.
