The solons are crippled, however,
in the short field. Bross went out OF
Dean Wells, of the Santa Fe team,

doubIeheader, but his work will not
permit him to join the team as
regular.
Mark Shull, of st. George, who
Joined the team Sunday for tryout,
will play short for the Solons TO-DAY.
Shull formerly played in the old KAN

independent ball since. Third Is
Shuli's regular position but Peterson
has that corner sailed away.
The Hutchinson team has always
given the Solons a real battle anu
comes here for the present series with
two new players. They are Purtell,
shortstop, and Spacht, a third sacker.
Despite their showing. the SMOKERS
are a dangerous bunch and apt to bust
up game at any time.
The Salina Millers were not content
to win yesterdays game from Hutch-
inson to 8, in twelve innings, but
counted all four of the runs made in
the final round and called the score,

gal cleared the sacks with q home
run. Really an effective way to break
up a twelve inning game.
Breaking even with Independence,
the league leaders, was some stunt for
! the Solons to pull. Probably the fans
don't stop to realize Ihat the 1nde-
pendence team is owned by the idle
rich, made so by the oil and gas in
dustry, and that Manager Ted War

$4,000. If Cooley had the dough
with which to buy another pitcher and
another hitting outfielder, the Solons
would set the Producers q merry
chase at that. -
Unless q switch was made over

a new umpire work in the Hutchinson

be an improvement over Van Graflan.

REPORT ORDERED
BY SENAT0RS0 ON
JONES TAX BILL
Committee O. KS Plan of
Making Revenues Avail
able Earlier.
WOULD PUT DISTRICT
UPON A "CAsH BASIS"
Rebate of 8 Per Cent for Prompt
Payments Provided in
Amendment.

The Jones bill changing the date OF
the payment of taxes in the District
Of Columbia SO that one-half Of the
tax on real estate and real personal
property shall be made early in the
fiscal year was ordered favorably
reported to the Senate today by the
Senate District committee.
The object of the bill Is to make
District revenues available early In
the fiscal year, so that the District
map operate on a cash-paying basis.
instead of depending upon the federal
Treasury for advances Of money un-
til the taxes come in.
Half Payable October 1.
The bill was amended so as to pro-
vide that hereafter one-half Of the
taxes On real estate and real personal
property shall become due and pay
able October /, and one-haf on
April 1. The bill originally proposed
that the taxes should become payable
November 1 and May.1.
Another amendment adopted by the
committee provides that II the whole
tax on real estate and real personal
PROPERTY is paid before November l
there shall be a rebate to the tax
payer of 3 per cent.
These amendments were suggested
by Senator Jones and concurred i'll
by the committee. Senator Ball. chair
man of the committee, said that in
Delaware, his state, per cent re-
bate was allowed for the prompt pay
ment of taxes as proposed by Senator
Jones.
Prospect I'm Senate.
Whether the District appropriation
bill and the fiscal relations rider
would come up in the Senate today
was problematical. The tariff bill
holds the right of way and the re-
publican leaders are insisting that
every effort be made to have the
! tariff bill considered as rapidly a.
possible. They are planning nigh;
sessions for that purpose.
Senator Phipps Of Colorado, in
charge OF the District bill, is watch
ing for an opportunity, however, 10
obtain consideration of the fiscal, re-
lations rider, which alone remains To
be disposed of in the entire District
bill.

filibuster," Senator McCumber said
the majority would accept that gauge
