GLOOM HAS SEIZED! 'NOOGA FANS-THEY WANT GOOD TEAM

Chattanooga, February 26.--(Special) News that Fred Bra atchi had reconsid- cred his retirement and would report to Chattanooga if sufficient salary in ducements were offered and that Sec ond Baseman Blue Hawk and Outfielder, Walter Johnson had signed their con- tracts were the cheering bits of infor- nation that trickled from Lookout headquarters during the past few days.

 The prospective lineup of the Look outs, containing probably more last year players than that of any other team in the league. remains the same as a week ago. Noel Vines, Ray, Fay Tor. 1917 pitcher doing a come back , Daniel Boone, who was secured from Atlanta in the Graff trade, and another experienced pitcher to be secured, seem certain to compose the pitching staff. The other pitcher. it is hoped will be Lefty" York, who has been sold to the Cubs conditional on his making good. The pitching staff was the strongest part of the clubs machine last year, and bids fair to be up to the league standard again this season.
 TOWNSEND HAS GONE
 Nicklin asked waivers on Townsend, so as to be able to dispose of him if he wished. and was much surprised when Atlanta claimed him, as the youngster was in, wretched health all last season, and is not expected to be able to play this year. In the meantime, the local catching staff consists chiefly of Doc Neiderkorn, with Munch of Oil City and Fleming, a local youth, the only other aspirants.
 In the infield, "Cy' Anderson at first and Fiedler at third are practically cer- tain of their jobs, provided Nicklin does not stumble on a trade. Blue Hawk is counted as a fixture at second, though he played in a Class B league last year with Fort Smith, At short three play CTS are signed.

 IN THE OUTFIELD
 Tn the outfield, Nicklin can play last years trio if he wishes, provided Bratchi and Sloan sign up, and Bill Shay also will be back. There is a small army of youthful talent signed up for the gardens, notably Flank Os- borne leading outfielder of the Florida league, and one M. N. Nelms. college player and ten-second man.

Gains on Capital Assets Taxable.

Washington. - Numerous inquiries
have reached the Bureau of Internal
Revenue relative to the decision OF
United States District Court of Con-
necticut in The Brewster case, in which
it was held that gains and profits real
lied from the sale of capital assets are
not taxable income. The United States
attorney for Connecticut has been au-
thorized to perfect an appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States
for review of the decision. Since
Congress, under the provisions of the
income tax acts of 1913, 1916 and 1918,
has directed the taxation as income of
such gains and profits, the bureau will
continue TO collect the tax thereon, un.,
less and until the Supreme Court shall
hold that provision of law to be uncon-
stitutional. The same question is in
volved in the Eldorado and Ryerson
cases which were argued in the Su-
nreme Court some weeks ago. A deci-
sion in these cases undoubtedly viii
settle the general question. In view OF
the severe penalties provided by law
for false and fraudulent income tax
return, taxpayers are warned not to
omit from their returns for the year
1920 such gains and profits.
