HEY, 4TH WARDERS,
CAREFUL NEXT TIME
Sports Editor,
Evening Journal,
Wilmington. Del.

Wilmington, Del.
Dear Sir: In behalf OF clean and
honest sportsmanship. I ask you TO
kindly give me space in the next
edition OF your worthy column.
The Sun Company team Of Marcus
Hook was scheduled to play the
Fourth Ward team Of Wilmington at
Fourth and Church streets last Tues
day, May 3, at $50 p. m.
This Is who the Sun team expected
to play and not the St. Mary's team.
The box scores as presented by the
Fourth Ward in your column is abb
solutely wrong. They claim three
runs in the first inning, whereas they
really had only four men at bat in
that inning The first two struck
out. the next man hit a home run,
and the next man flied out to irst
base. Total, one hit and one run.
Also they they show sun Com
pany's runs scattered through the
seven innings, whereas Suns runs
were all scored In the third inning
on six hits OF Hughes before he was
relieved by Mcconnell.
II is also noticeable that they give
Hughes three strikeouts, Mcconnell
fve and Thompson six. This is wrong
as between Hughes and Mcconnell
two strikeouts were made while
Thompson famed seven.
The Sun boys were beaten, but not
through true sportsmanship and Of
fer this as a challenge to the Fourth
Ward mot st. Marys) team to set
their date to play us on our field.
The game will be played under dif-
ferent circumstances.
The real score was 10 10 s.
Ny score book is open to inspec-
tion so II in doubt. let me hear from
you.
The whole team regrets the acci-
dent 10 Johnson.
Thanking you for the space and
trusting August Of the Fourth Ward
will reply for the Fourth Ward and
not ST. Mary's, I am,
Yours for clean sport

The State Tax Commission

Just now the criticism of those who find their
taxes increased to be directed largely at the State
Tax Commission. In many instances this criticism
from the fact that local officials have charged
the State Tax Commission with being responsible for
increased taxes Such charges not true
The State Tax Commission has but function
and that is to value property II exercising ibis func
lion it ofcntimcs orders certain class of property
10 county increased in value this because the assessor
places too low value on that property. The state gets
for state purposes four mills each dollar worth OF
valuation If certain class of property is ordered in
creased in value then the State Tax Commission might
be charged with increasing the taxes to the extent of
four mills tn increase in valuations and that is all
that could be charged against the State Tax Cormis
The rest of the increase in taxation is chargcablc
directly to local authorities. The County Commission
the School Boards and the city and officials
have the power to increase decrease the mill levy
the values raised and lowered
If the Tax Commission TO rai,> the valuation
of property in this county hundred per cent, there
lis why it should affect the of

taxes alone. Our County Commissioners. our school
boards and city authorities would still be the
