sF Benefit Game For a Great Pitcher

E7T7HE idol of today is usually for ll gotten tomorrow, but Christy Mathewson is a shining exception to the rule. When Big Six" fell a victim to tuberculosis, he was the most popular baseball pitcher in America, and one of the greatest the game ever produced. The plucky fight he has made to regain his health has been watched with sympathetic interest everywhere in the country.
 Just by way of showing that Christy Is still dear to the hearts of baseball fans, testimonial game was played for him at the Polo Grounds from which he will get sum between $40,000 and $50,000. That is a snug little fortune, even now adays when millionaires are plenti- full, and if there are any financial troubles at Saranac Lake where the former pitcher is staying, he will have nothing more of that kind to worry about.
 It is we'll to show in this substan- tial way that Christy is not only remembered, but that he is honored as an athlete who "kept the faith" and probably did more than any oth- CT ball player of the present gener- ation to show that the great national pastime can be clean and character ized by the highest type of sports manship.
 The example of Mathewson was an inspiration to thousands of youthful players who aspired to fol- low in his footsteps and to his team mates as well.

West has gatheed his material from many sources, some of the authors being unknown, but every phase of the game has been touched upon in these selections, both grave and gay, but mostly gay.
 In addition to the numerous bards whose lines are reproduced, MT. West has included four worthwhile pieces of his own. His book will give pleas ure to many readers who do not nec- essarily have to have a knowl- edge of golf to enjoy the humor and fancy of these, golf lyrics"

 Forgive me, I'm not trying to teach school, but 1t would be a good thing for the decorators to remember that horizontal wire across a street Is supposed to be the equiva- lent of a flagpole when 1t bears the national colors. The flags should be draped with the star section above, or nearer the center of the street, and the stripe section, well, here Is the illustration, imagine flag on an upright pole lowered. The line across the street sould represent poles low cred from the houses on either side, making the center of the roadway the two meeting poles, As they are draped here now. or flown, the ina aginary pole stretches clear across the street, making the flags on one- half of the line upside down."

WALLACE ADVISES
CLOSE SCRUTINY
OF ASSESSMENTS

Bismarck. N. D., June 17.-1nstruc-
tons have beer issued to tax super
visors to scrutinize carefully the
assessments in the cities and villages
Of the state, and particularly with ref
erence tofthe assessment Of stocks OF
goods and merchandise, Tax Commits,
siorer George F. Wallace said today.
Considerable complaint was made last
year that this class Of property was
very poorly assessed, according to the
tax commissioner, with the result that
in some cases merchants paid twice as
much as their nearest competitor, and
corrections. Of the record have been
demanded on the part Of taxpayers.
The tax commissioner said he had
decided that where it is shown that
assessments; have been poorly made,
under this item or any other item, he
will not hesitate in ordering a re-
assessment of the citySo or village which
is not strictly assessed assording to
law.
He has asked the county auditors to
cooperate with him in the matter. and.
expressed the hope that due publicity
will have a salient effect on the local
taxing officials.
