CORPORATIONS TAX
GETS SECOND BLOW
Sandusky c ON p any Sues,
Claims New Concerns Only
Are Required to Pay.

LANSING. Mich. Aug 5-A sec
ond suit TO test the validity Of the
new state corporation tax Jaw was
filed in the supreme court by the
Sandueky Lumber & Coal company
of Sandusky.
The Sandusky organization does
not attack the constitutionality OF the
law, as does the Union steam Pump
Sales company. Of Battle Creek. but
contends that the new law affects
only new corporations. II seeks re-
lief from the laws provisions on the
ground that il was incorporated be-
fore the law became effective. under
old laws. which safeguard it against
payment of a tax.
Other Attacks Expected.
This company also petitions for a
writ OF peremptory mandamus TO re-
quire Secretary of State De Land 10
accept the annual statement with
out payment of the fee" and tax.
While its method of attack is diff
ferent. a favorable outcome of its
suit would have the same effect as
that OF the Union Steam Pump Sales
company. II is said Michigan manu-
fgacturers will direct other attacks
on the law within the next few
weeks in an effort 10 find some vul-
nerable point that will enable all to
escape payment of the new levy.
The. contention OF the Sandusky
company is that the act of incor-
pOraung under an existing law is in
reality contract which cannot be
abrogated without mutual consent,
nor altered by the imposition Of new
fees or taxes. after il has gone into
effect. ....

TILDEN WINS EASILY
Decisively Defeats
johnson for National Tennis Cham
piOnship, Winning Three Sets.
Philadelphia
Defeats

Philadelphia, Sept. 20.-William T.
Tilden I'd had it on his mind yester-
day to show how completely and con-
clusively and quickly national cham
pionohip in lawn tennis could be won.
Where, in advance, it had been
thought that he might be inclined to
show leniency towards a fellow Phila-
delphian and, at the very least, al
low him to win a set, Tilden showed
himself merciless. Apparently there
was just one thing that actuated him.
He was defending the championship
and he wished to renew his lease
upon the title with as little ceremony
as possible. Accordingly, he accom-
plished the feat with neatness and
dispatch in three straight sets, which
were scored 6-1, 6-3, 6|1. He never
gave johnson a chance. To character
ize the match in the vernacular, he
smeared his opponent. He was so
overwhelmingly superior to the chop
stroke artist that no comparison was
possible. The defeat was crushing. Ac-
cording to the evidence, the cham
pion might have won in three love
sets had he so elected.

Babe Adams Breaks Winning
Streak on Pittsburgh Grounds

Pittsburgh, Sept. 2o.-Babe Adams
came out of his seclusion yesterday
and did the fanciest sort of pitching
against the Giants. He took their
winning streak in hand and snapped
1t right off.
The Pirates finally won another
game from the Giants and by score
of to /. New York's lead was re-
duced to three and half games
which, come to think of 1t, Is still
considerably healthy.
Adams gave a more finished dis
play than Douglas. though the latter
all prepped for this game. was the
toughest kind of medicine. The New
York fielding, extraordinarily good
for some time, skidded just enough
iCr the Pirates to win. hit by
Adams eluded two outfielders, Burns
and Meusel, and became a huke
triple. Meusel mishandled a single
SO that it became, in effect, a two bag
ger. Douglas let in a ruin with a poor
throw TO the plate. These misdemea-
nors neutralized the effectiveness of
Douglas in holding the Corsair crew
to four hits.
The Giants stayed with 'em to the
last. The last out was on close play
1T the plate. The Giants hit skyward
TOO much for results. Such was the
chicanery of Adamss swing that
fourteen of the apparent coming
champions passed away on fly balls.
Still when a team has won ten
straight, as the Giants have, and leads

much.
