Rochester Mogul in
 Conference at Selma

Selma, November s.-(Special.)- Indications today shortly after noon pointed strongly to the possibility of Selma having the Rochester baseball club of the International league here next year for spring training. with the additional feature of two exhibi- tion games at Robbins field be- tween the Rochester club and the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Athletics. This possibility loomed fol- lowing a meeting of baseball sup porters and members of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce at the Hotel Albert with NJ. Hapgood, busi- ness manager and part owner of the Rochester club.
 Mir. Hapgood laid his proposition before the meeting, asking that the Selma people guarantee s2,500 to take care of the hotel expenses of the 35 or 40 men who would be here with the Rochester club. He pointed out that this guarantee would be taken care of by the re- ceipts from the two games staged with the Athletics and the Cardinals and from other exhibition games here between the Rochester regulars and "Yannigans," or the University

 Wilson. In his quest of further titular honors, will be forced to give away about eight pounds ODowd will weigh in at 11s at } o'clock in the afternoon, which will mean about 121 pounds ring side. Wilson's ringside weight is 113 pounds.

of Alabama or Auburn baseball teams.
 Mir. Hapgood was asked by Percy Day, who presided at the meeting, to wait until noon tomorrow, and al- low the baseball supporters a chance to put the proposition before the people, who would be asked to guar antee the s2,500 Mr. Hapgood ac- cepted the proposition. with the pro- viso that he could arrange suitable hotel and eating quarters for the men while they are in this city.
 Those at the meeting today were enthusiastic over the proposition of bringing the Rochester team here and several expressed the opinion that this would be the making of baseball in Selma for the coming season. They also decided that the Rochester team here would be a splendid advertisement for this city.
 Mir. Hapgood, should the deal be put over, said he would bring the Rochester club here about March l., and they would remain here until about April 10. The club would spend three selid weeks training, and then would make trips to Demopols, Troy, Eufaula and Montgomery, where exhibition games would be staged with the major league teams.
 MT. Hapgood will leave Selma to- morrow for Demopo1is, where he will arrange for one exhibition game to be played there.

an afternoon, either hot, cold or rainy, to play it. In the winter, when snow and ice halt his playing at home, the golf enthusiast will travel hundreds of miles in order to reach . playable golf course.
 Thus. the next great step In this sport then vii be--what? Some means of enjoying this sport the year round right at home. A good many minds now are working on the prob lem of erasing the lend of the sea son" for golfers in the north, and I have been apprised of several very interesting suggestions that seek that end. One or more of them probably will be forthcoming soon. It Is im- possible to believe that with so many thousands of men and women so yi- tally interested in golf the condition will prevail much longer by which they must give up the pastime dur ing the winter. And when golf at- tains that hoped-for stage, then playing it will be as universal I pre- dicet, as--well, breathing.
 The Golf Club
 Most any one who plays golf can recall the time when the golf club was spoken of, even in large cities, as the golf club. There was only one. Now we speak of golf club. or perhaps of several in which mem berships are maintained. In Kan sas City, for Instance, where one of the championships was held this year, there are a dozen well estab- lished golf clubs. while in such cities as Wichita, Kans, Des Monies, Omaha. Pittsburg, Buffalo, Los An- geles, Seattle and others of like size, the golf interest Is tremendous In the smaller towns places or from 5000 to 10000 population and up. 1t

Spread of thc fsame

There is nothing in the history of all the sports of mankind to com pare with the spread of the royal and ancient game on this side of the Atlantic during the last 20 years, and particularly during the last six or seven years. Who would have thought a few years ago that golf match would command greater popular at tention than a world series game? :? That happened this year in Pittsburg, where the newspapers had more in quiries on the Sarazen-H Hagen match than on the ball gamo between the Giants and the Yankees.
 It is interesting 10 try to con template what this sport will be 20 years hence.
 We have seen it start, then hang more or less in the balance, the pas time of very exclusively few-of the more wealthy. In the beginning. within my own memory in fact. a golf club was something of a curi- osity. Then 1t began to take hold, and now we see 1t vertically sweep ing the country in a tidal wave of popularity that never will be checked "a popularity that will for cer- tainty, gather tremendously in- I wish I could set down here the num- Der of golfers this country contains, with the number of clubs and the acreage involved; the total valuation of the equipment and accessories used in the game. No one has ever been able to gather such statistics that I know of. because the task would be almost an impossible one now. Before the figures could be totaIed so many new clubs would come into existence and so many new golfers would tee up that the total arrived at would be hopelessly ont of date Lefore it could be issued. The figures If they could be cited, would be amazing. They would prove, think, that golf is. today, the na- tionhl sport in the United States and Canada.
 Most Popular Sport
 Certainly there are more men and women play golf than play any other outdoor game-thousands more. The only question is. are there more people interested in golf than are interested in any other sport base ball included? I think there are. Golf is our one outstanding playing sport. Most other sports are of the spectator variety--that is those who follow such other sports do so from a seat in shady, spot. The golfers interest in his pastime IS such that he will walk five Hiies or more on

NEW LABOR BODY in FIELD
Federated Textile Unions Of America
Claims to Have More Than One
Hundred Thousand Members.

Six of the largest independent tex
lie unions of the country have for
nally merged themselves into a new
body, the Federated Textile Unions Of
America, The federation, which claims
to represent already more than 100000
workers, will elect officers and begin
tunctioning at a general convention to
be held in New York within the next
tour months.
While several Of the participating
1nions are radical organizations, it was
asserted that the federation would not
lend its support to the proposed revo-
Iutionary workers labor party or 9TH
erwise engage in politics. The follow
Ing committee will act until a provi-
sional executive board can be ap-
pointed: John P. O'Connell of Sa-
EN-, Mass, secretary of the American
Federation of Textile Operatives,
chairman; Russell Palmer of New
York, secretary Of the Amalgamated
Textile Workers Of America, and Law
renee Labrie of Philadelphia, of the
Tapestry Carpet Workers.
The six Independent unions whose
membership voted to join the fedora
ton are: The Amalgamated Textile
Workers of America, Amalgamated
Lace Operatives of America, Body
Brussels Weavers, Tapestry Carpet
Workers, Associated Silk Workers Of
Paterson, and the American Fedora
ion Of Textile Operatives. 1t is ex-
pected that three other unions will
loin, bringing the membership in the
federation up to 10000.
This is the first time in the his
,ory of the textile industry" said A. ].
Music, former head of the Amalga-
mated Textile Workers and one of the
founders of the federation, in a state
ment, that the big Independent
unions have gotten together in a great
movement to bring about cooperation
between the various organizations for
the benefit Of the workers. We in
tend to function as a constructive or
ganizatiOn and do not propose to in
1ulge in any destructive tactics. We
have not been formed to oppose the
American Federation of Labor. We
will strive to unite all the textile
workers Of the country into one great
body. Through our organization we
will be better able to fight wage re-
auctions and attempts Of employers to
enforce longer hours"
Reports received at the conference,
according to Mr.. Music, showed that
Iess than so per cent Of the textile
workers usually employed were now
at work. The silk industry, he said,
was hardest hit by the industrial de-
preston, and was practically closed
down, including the mills in eastern
Pennsylvania towns, Philadelphia, Pat
ersOn, N. j., and Hudson county.

RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS
sLAckEN IN YEAR 1921

Chicago, lll.-Railway improvements
during 1921 struck a new low point,
according to statistics offered by prac-
tically all carriers and compiled by the
Railway Age
Railway mileage declined about 1900
miles during the year. But ATS miles
of new track was laid, which, while
an Improvement over the 1920 record,
when All miles were built, is eclipsed
by the fact that 1878 miles were aban-
doned during the year, causing a net
loss of 1903 miles This makes the
total mileage abandoned since 1917
reach 500 miles, while the total new
mileage from the same date totals 5000
miles
New equipment also struck a new
low point, with only 241 locomotives
for domestic use ordered. Prior to
1917 the annual total of new locomo-
tives ordered annually averaged about
2400. The number of freight cars or
dered was 20,667, as compared to an
average for the five years prior to 1917
of 100000 cars.
New equipment orders are being
placed for 1922, however, at a rate
that indicates rapid recovery.

NOW in EFFECT
Nuisance" Levies Go; Mar
ried Persons Pay Less
On Incomes.

Washington = Changes in federal
taxes voted by congress in October
came into full force Sunday. Here's
how they effect you:
When you ride on a railroad train
or an inland OF coastwise steamer you
no longer will have to pay the govern.
ment 8 per cent of the amount of your
fare and 8 per cent of the coast of
your seat, berth or stateroom.
When you ship freight you will not
be assessed an extra per cent of the
cost. Likewise you can send packages
by express or parcels post without
having to give up a war tax"
When you visit the corner drug store
for bottle Of proprietary medicine, a
tube of tooth paste, toilet prepare
ton or the like you will escape the
vexatious stamp taxes.
When you go to a soda fountain you
no longer will find Uncle Sam holding
out his hand for a penny on each ten
cents OF. fraction that you pay the clerk
for drink or a plate of ice cream.
If you want to sport a pair of shoes
costing more than So you will not have
to lay out a tax. These and all of the
other so-called luxury taxes on clothe
ing, as well as those on umbrellas,
parasols, sun shades, picture frames,
trunks, valises, pocketbooks, etc., go
into the discard.
If you live in a place that still can
boast of a 10-cent movie show or other
place of amusement you will not be as.
sessed a penny tax. If the charge ex-
ceeds 10 cents, however, you will con.
tinue to pay war levy at the present
rates of a cent for each ten cents or
fraction.
All heads of families with depen.
dents will get a slight reduction in
their income tax during the new year,
the extent being So for each dependent
as a result of the increase from 5000
to $4O0 in the exemption on account of
dependents.
In you are married and your net in
come in 1921 was $4,000 or less, how
ever, you will get a still further reduc.
ton in taxes as the normal exemption
for married men in this class has been
from $4,000 to $4,000. Sin.
gle men are given no additional exemp-
ton and can deduct only $1,000 from
their net income
Whether you are single or married,
if you made a gain from the sale of
capital assets, such as building or
stocks or bonds, you can pay the tax
on this gain at the corporation income
rate of 127s per cent, instead of at
the surtax rate if you so elect.
If your income is such as to put you
in the surtax paying class you will pay
in 1922 at the old war rates, but in
1923 you will pay at the new rates,
which became effective Sunday and
which provide for some reduction all
along the line with the maximum at so
per cent on 100000 instead f~65 per
cent of $1,OOO.OOO or more.
