Batters Are Ahead.
Doubt IL Baseball Fans Want to
Make Pitchers More Effective.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: There
is a movement on foot among the
major league baseball club owners to
restore to the pitchers the privilege of
using rosin when pitching. Presuma-
bly, the purpose is to reduce to some
extent the amount OF hitting which is
50 marked feature of the game this
year. 1t being argued that If pitchers
can get better grip on the ball through
the use of rosin they will have better
control OF the sphere and more influence
over the batters.
No matter how laudable this purpose
considers the effect the change will have
on the batting and pitching situation
one doubtless will arrive at the conclu-
sion that the effort to reduce 1itting
runs counter to the generally accepted
idea that the public wants moro hit
ting. In fact, was it not for the pur-
pose of increasing batting that the spit
ball. the emery ball and the shine ball
were voted out of use? When pitchers
were permitted to use these so-called
freak deliveries they We're said to have
had the batters at their mercy.
But the situation has changed APP
parently and the batters now have the
upper hand, and 1t is question whether
the baseball public doesn't wan. the
situation to remain the way 1t is. Bat
ting games are always interesting and
the spectators appear to enjoy them
more than they do games In which the
final score Is / to o. Pitchers like
Mathewson, Mordecai Brown, Walter
Johnson and Jim Bagby attracted crowds
because they were effective enough to
hold the sluggers down, but just as
large crowds were attracted by tho
slugging ability Of Ty Cobb, Trls
Speaker and Babe Ruth. In fact Babes
smuggling has given present day base
ball a new impetus. FAN.

America Needs Lumber.
Higher Prices Predicted With a Duty
on the Canadian Product.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: was
more than pleased to read your editorial
article In reference to duty on Canadian
lumber. We as large handlers of lum-
ber, and / think we voice the sentiment
OF most other dealers, oppose enactment
OF this duty. 1t strikes me that IL n
duty were pat on Canadian lumber It
would only mean advancing the price
OF lumber to the consumer.
1t seems to me that we ought not 10
put a duty on a commodity In which the
public is 30 vitality interested. and now
that lumber prices have been reduced
very materially II would be n pity IL
ou- lawmakers saw At to take some
action that would make II necessary
to advance the price OF lumber again.
In letter received last week from
the assistant general manager of tho
largest bank In Canada he hinted that
IL our Congress inflicted duties on Can
adian products It would tend to cause
bad feeling on the part OF the Cana
dams. who are among our best Gus
toners. fact which many OF your edi-
torial articles have set forth so clearly.

MONDAY. MAY so. 1921.
The Day of the Wreath.

In an order issued on May 8, 1868.
the Commander in Chief OF the Grand
Army of the Republic, General JOHN
A. LOGAN, announced that the 30th
day Of that month was designated
for the purpose of strewing with flow
ers or otherwise decorating the
graves Of comrades who died in de-
fence Of their country during the late
rebellion
Decoration Day began, therefore, as
an observance limited to honorlng
the dead OF but one war. That con-
flict then had been over only three
years. 1t was still uppermost in the
thoughts of the soldiers and sailors
who had taken part IN it. In ;nstitut-
ing Decoration Day they probably had
no thought that May 20 would eventu-
.IllIy become date on which the peo-
pie Of many States and nations would
pay reverence to the memory Of our
hero dead. The veterans of 1868 could
not know that within their own life
time two more wars would be written
on the American banners.
The ranks of the men who made
Decoration Day in the North and the
various memorial days in the South
are thinning fast. The veriest boys
of the civil war are past 70. They
will all soon disappear, but Decora-
ton Day will remain. Even now Its
services have become SO broad as to
. honor all the heroes Of all the Unions
wars. In every city, village and ham
let there is a wreath for every so"
OF the Republic, whether he died at
Valley Forge, at Monterey, at Gettys-
burg, at El Caney or in Belleau
Wood.
This year, from the Rhine west
ward across the world to the Philip
pines and the continent of Asia, and
on all the seas, the armed forces OF
the Republic and it's citizens will pay
heartfelt tribute to the men who
made America and preserved It's
institutions.
Before many years there will be
but one memorial day throughout the
land. Some day will be chosen when.
north and south, there are in bloom
flowers fit to deck the last resting
places of all the brave.

Taxation Of Values.

While it appears that the Supreme
Court decision in the La Belle Iron
Works case avoids any direct tax on
accrued but unsold values, the axe is
just as definitely laid at the root of
uniustified stock dividends which do
not represent any actual increase in
invested capital. The La Belle Iron
Works claimed an exemption on the
percentage allowed under the revenue
law and figured on the basis of a
S10,000,000 valuation of properties
which originally cost only $190,000.
The company had issued stock to
bring the outstanding shares against
the property up to the $l0,000,o00
figure.
The Supreme Court disallowed the
exemption, and the company will be
obliged to pay excess profits taxes on
all earnings above the legal exemp-
tion on the basis of $4,000 invested
capital.
Thus the increase of values, not di-
rectly taxed, is actually taxed in two
different ways, once through the earn
ings and once through the sale of the
shares, when such sale takes place.
The difference between these two
taxes and a straight tax on the en-
hanced value of assets may not be
great, as measured in actual pay
ments in this particular case, but the
principle of the two methods is vastly
different. And either way, where
watered stock dividends were issued
with the intent of evading taxes, this
purpose is definitely thwarted by the
Supreme Court decision.

1t is long time since this one time

it did seem as If it had been forgotten
altogether. When l was a child my
mother frequently took me to Lent's,
was on Fourteenth street nearly oppo-
site the old Academy Of Music, In a
large. circular. substantial building. with
a good sized amphitheatre or ring with
an entrance at each end for the per-
formers.
think James or John Robinson was
one Of the principal performers. his mag
nificent horsemanship eliciting great ap-
plause. But the chief attraction was
the pantomime after the regular circus
performance. Both entrances to the
ring were transformed with stage set
tings and then followed the pantomime.
/ remember the antics OF the Clorn,
PuntGIoom, Harlequin and Colunibiae in
the grand old fairy spectacles Of "Jack
and the Beanstalk," Jack the Giant
Killer" Mother Goose" Cinderella
and others. The devices and mechanical
changes were marvellous and the music
delightful. The matinees were thronged
with the younger element and their par
ents. The entertainment was clean.

Firemen Ever Alert.
Smell Of Smoke a Stimulant That
Never Loses Its Force.

To THE NEW York HERALD: went
into a downtown engine house several
nights ago to see a fireman. few
OF the smoke eaters stood about chat
ting Then little chap In the uniform
of Boy Scout, whom the men called
Bobby the Buff. came In.
"I smell smoke" he said TO one of
the fremen.
Instantly everybody was alert. The
firemen rushed to the door and shifted
tho air. Eyes, the kid Is right" said
one and he started down the street.
Another crossed the street, climbed on
light burned. Still another walked
around the block and rubbernecked at
building. then dropped on his knees
and inspected cellar gratings.
Meanwhile the man on watch stood
at the door of the engine house ready
to send in a still alarm The source
of the smoke odor could not be found
and the search was given UP.
An incident like this occurs frequently.
especially at night Tell the man on
watch that you smell smoke and, no
matter how long he has been in the
business, he is instantly alert from his
toes up and ready to tap the brass pole
to call the boss.
I have been interested in fire matters
for over thirty years and it appears to
me that, no matter how many fires they
respond to, our firemen, from the Chief
down to the latest recruit, are galvanized
into action whenever an alarm comes,
and display as much pep at midnight as
they do at midday.
One would think that after a while
the officers and men would become apa-
thetic, that going to a fire would become
hundrum affair. Not on your life
There is always fresh excitement. The
clang of the gong thrills. The shriek-
ing siren stimulates. Away go the blue
shirts. Down the street a tin cared
individual almost gets run over while
the driver swears-yes, swears--at him.
A block away a fireman's hat blows off.
A traffic cop picks 1t up. The apparatus
has rushed by TO the fire.
Sometimes. sad to say. we read that
Fireman so-and-So was killed while re-
spending to a station. But It's all in
the game, they say. and the next alarm
finds the crew as brave. fearless and
undaunted as ever. J. McGARIoLE.
