QUITE A TAX BILL

President Carl R. Gray OF the
Union Pacific has given out a state
ment that the taxes of that company
are $36,306 day, having raised
from -FOUR and half million to
thirteen million in ten years.
railroad companies are the largest
tax payers In the United States, and
IN some counties they pay half the
taxes. In many of the taxing units,
especially in school districts, they
nave no voice in 1evying the taxes,
and yet have to pay nearly all of
them. Every dollar of the tax money
paid by the railroads first has to be
gathered from the people for freight
or railroad fares, and the higher the
taxes, the more the roads have to
take from the people.

Chicago Paid Cool $25, 900

MARLIN, Tex, March 9.-"Watch

Mack is the best conditioned pit
cher in Kid Gleason's flock of
pitchers and he is going great guns

He Cost the White Sox q cool

He came up last July from the

Freddy Schupp, pitcher, and Catcher
Yam Yaryan were the Sox players
figuring in the deal.
The native son is yet mere boy.
He's only twenty-three years old,
weighs $50 pounds as he stands to-
day and has one of the best fast
balls ever brought into a White Sox
camp. He also knows how to curve
'em.
Mack is a product of st. Mary's
College, Oakland. Cal. That insti-
tuition of learning turned out such
ball players as Harry Hooper, Duffy
Lewis, Dusty Mails, Dutch Leonard.
Eddie Burns, Harry Krause and sew
eral others.

Scotch Pro Invents
Timer For Swing
OF Club

Who says there is nothing
new under the sun? Alex Cum
ningham, veteran Scotch "pro,"
now at Toledo, has put a new
device on the market. 1t has
been patented.
The invention is to aid play
ers in perfecting their swing.
1t consists of a small cylinder
inserted in the top of the shaft
of a wooden club. In the CYL
inder is a small metal ball
which rolls back and forth as
gravity dictates. The invention
enables a golfer to tell when
he is overswinging or when the
club, raised behind his head, is
in just the proper position for
the forward swing.
The player can remove the
ball from the cylinder when he
doesn't care to use it, and the
club then has nothing about it
to distinguish it from any other.

New Jersey Doesn't
Want Decision
Bouts

Decisions are not wanted in
New Jersey by the boxing pro-

feature is the only thing that
enables them to compete with
New York when bidding for the

Most of the champions are
willing to accept a big. reduc-

A law permitting decisions

tory might be popular in Jersey.
