Fafnirs Win 16-6 and Losers Threaten Protest = Fal- cons Beat Cardinals 13 to 4 and Pirates Defeat Dragons IA to 9-Inde- pendents Win 5 to 1 From Rangers.

Regardless of winners and losers, the outstanding feature of Saturdays games in the City league was the absolute collapse of the heretofore strong and steady playing Berlin Construction nine which went down to defeat at the hands of the Fafnir nine by the overwhelming score of 16 to 6, and the loud howl put up protesting the umpiring of Red" Campbell and the excited protesta- tions of Joie Smith, Berlin score- keeper, that the game would be pro- tested and Red" would be chased cut of the league. This all came about in the sixth inning when Campbell, after being repeatedly ragged from the Berlin side and made the target of a verbal assault by Pitcher Mccormick ordered McCor- mick out of the game. For few minutes it looked as though Red" would have to make good his threat and forfeit the game to Fafnir unless Mccormick quit the field. Eventu- ally, however, things were smoothed out and the slaughter continued. Other games resulted in win for the Independents, to l, over the Rangers. The score of the Falcon Cardinal game was 13 to in favor of the Falcons and the tally in the Pirate Dragon game was IA to with the Pirates on the long end.
 Berlin Vs. Fafnirs
 Tommy Blanchard, who pitched for Fafnir, held Berlin safely throughout the game, although in the last inning ifc frxn of doubles, brought in three runs. In the second inning Berlin scored when Mccormick, who was then playing centerfield, was passed went to third on Hughes single and scored when Al Blanchard erred in throwing wild ly to third to nip him stealing. Hughes scored on the next play, when Tommy Blanchard booted an infield tap by Fields. Again in the fourth Berlin tallied when Hughes after hit ting safely, stole second and was worked around. The final three came in the ninth when Wordelin, first up, hit a double and was followed with another two bagger by Doran, who scored later. Fields then hit a sin gle, stole second and third and then stole home, getting safe when Nelson dropped the ball.
 Fafnir scored in ever inning except the third, fourth and eighth. In the first, Fitzpatrick was passed, sent to second on an infield hit by Al Blanch- ard, took third on Al Schade's sacri- flee, Blanchard taking second, and both scored on Landrys double. Lan- dry scored a moment later on Bar nett's single. Two came scross in the second on a double by Benny Smith, hits by Corbin and Fitzpatrick, both later scoring on hit and an error. In the fifth Barnett, first up, tapped

BOBBY JONES WINS
 NATIONAL HONORS
Defeats Cruikshank by Two
 Strokes in PlayoH for Title
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, July 16. - The purple mantle of American golf rests today upon the youthful but stocky should CTS of Bobby Jones, brilliant Atlanta stylist. Yesterday he scaled the heights he has been threatening to climb for several years by vanquish- ing Bobby Cruikshank, diminutiye Scotch professional by two strokes in the playoff of the 27th national cham pionship at the Inwood Golf club on Long Island.
 Jones did not capture the most coveted of American links prizes with out a struggle, after seeing Cruik- shank tie his 72 holes score of 296 on Saturday necessitating a play off, the Georgia wizard was forced to call on all his shot making greatness to down the sturdy Scotchman.
 He scored a 76, four over par for the IS holes, deciding test against Cruikshank's 7s.
 The 18th Hole
 The 18th hole at Inwood, 425 yard, par four affair that has many udHSCloJ 10 ucoLlicu Go ldhC dii iili- portant niche in open golf history. It was on this hole that Bobby Jones threw away almost certain victory Saturday where Cruikshank, fighting against heavy odds recovered to hole a brilliant birdie three and tie the At lantan. And then yesterday 1t was the setting for one of the most dramatic finishes the title event has ever known.
 Cruikshank, staging an uphill bat tie on the second nine holes, had tied the score on the 17th, with good recovery from trap and long putt.
 Strain Begins To Tell
 The strain seemed to be telling on the Scott for he topped his tee shot on the 18th, the ball travelling 150 yards and landing in the rough short of the tairway. Jones was well up, but in the rough to the right. Fighting gamely, Cruikshank put his iron shot out into the fairway, but when Jones drove his second shot almost dead to the pin brilliant 200 yard iron shot, Cruikshank's was a forlorn hope, He studied his next try but it was off line and he was trapped to the left of the green. When his fourth went over the cup and his fifth failed to go in, he grasped the hand of his opponent. It was but formality for Jones to hole in two butts for his par four and victory.

FIGHT OVER DUDACk
 IN HARTFORD fl. s.
Alderman Claims He Has Not 7 Secured State Board 0. K.

If William Dudack takes the posi- ton of physical director at the Weav- CT High school in Hartford, without a ctate certificate it is the intention of Alderman Candee to seek an injunc- of Hartford.
 MT. Candee admitted it was his in- | terticn to notify the High school com mittee that its action in appointing Mir. Dudack was ill advised because of the fact that he had not obtained a cs' t:flcate and it appears likely that he will be unable to obtain one be- fore the school term opens in the fall. He said that he would advise the , committee to ask the advice of the corporation counsel as to the legality of MT. Dudack's appointment. If his suggestion is not acted on he will, as an individual, seek to have an injunc- tion placed against the comptroller of Hartford to keep him from paying MT. Dudack his salary. He explained that this of course depends on the results of the investigation now being carried on.
 The requirements of the certificate which MT. Candee claims Dudack needs are as follows: First that the applicant, before July 1, 1922, have completed two years of work in an approved public or private High school, or have had an equivalent academic education, before July |, 1923, three years, and on and after July 1, 1924, have graduated there from. He must be a graduate of at least a two-year course in physical education, pass an examination in

Grand Finale of the Grand Reopening Sale!
The Tax That
Defeats Itself
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The income tax has been justly at
tackled upon the ground that Its ef-
feet is to drive capital out Of In
dustry. as men with money are put
| ting their capital more and more into
| non-taxable government securities
| and withholding it from Industrial
enterprises.
Everybody knows that the value Of
| stocks has decreased by millions of
dollars during the last year. That
/, means that the public is holding off
from putting its money into those in
dustries that employ labor and make
the country prosperous.
The income tax therefore is the
enemy of labor. and the cause of
depression and unemployment. Every
body does not know, however, that
the income tax Is a failure as a
money raiser. For the calendar year
OF 1921 the amount Of money COL
lected by the Treasury by income
and profits taxes decreased approx
imately a billion and a quarter dol
lars from 1920. The number of per-
, sons and firms making returns de-
creased by about 5000.
In 1920 the records showed that
thirty-three persons admitted having
incomes in the class of $1,00O.000 and
over
In 1921 there were only twenty-one
such persons
The net income upon which some
six and half million individuals
paid taxes in 1921 was around nine
teen and a half billion dollars, while
that net income for 1920 was nearly
twenty-four billion dollars Corpo-
ration incomes for the same period
showed q decrease of around three
million dollars. These and similar fig
ures demonstrate the utter ineffective
ness and vicieusness of the income tax.
1t appeals to the ignorant because
on the surface 1t appears to tax the
rich and let the poor go. AS a mat
ter of fact the rich side-step 1t and
the effect is to drain the blood and cut
the nerve of national prosperity.
the sales tax, IL IL were adopted,
would not only be easily collected
but IT would stimulate industry and
would bring In far more dependable
returns to the government
Every effort in taxation to make
the burden rest upon only one class
and exempt another is unjust The
underlying principle would be to
have 1t rest upon the entire popu-
iation, exacting from each one ac-
cording to his ability. The basis
OF all just taxation is to make every
body pay to the government for the
service which the government rend-
ers to them. That is fair and honest.
Unfortunately taxation in every
country in the world is based upon
the robber principle of penalizing
success. And sooner or later every
country finds out that to penalize
success Is To clog prosperity.
