THE INCOME TAX RETURNS.

Many people who are now working
out their income tax returns, are fun
ing and tearing their hair over the
bother of the thing. Some of them
government asks them to pay, and
Uncle Sam seems an Unsuitable cred
itor who never ceases to hound them.
Meanwhile others whose incomes
are small enough TO give them ex-
emption. are fretting because they
have never earned enough money to
come into this list OF taxpayers. They
would gladly enough pay such an as
sessment if they could only climb
into that class.
The income tax demand searches
a mans soul to see if he is honest.
If he wants to cheat, he may often do
so without getting caught. And some
people dodge part of their burden
without really meaning to. 1t is nat
ural to e~xaggerate ones losses and
exemptions, and minimize gains and
assets.
The income taxpayer, instead of
fretting over his botheTsome return
or b~egrudging the payment demanded,
should feel a sense of pride. The
summons to pay this tax, from which
the majority of his fellow citizens are
exempt, means that he achieved more
than average success, for which he
should be glad and thankful.
Also he should mediate on the
blessings that accru to him as a cit
izen in the best country In the world.
He should desire to contribute every
cent that the law asks, as his fair re-
turn for the benefits he has received.

Giants vs. Chisox and Tanks vs. Brooklyn-Yanks and Tygers Are Favorites in American-Three Corner ed Race in National.

New York. April 14. (By Associated Press) )--Baseball's fandom pulse beat little quicker today as the smoke Of another diamond campaign became more pronounced. With most of the other major league squads already on their home grounds, all three metro- politan clubs today are scheduled for their first home appearance Of the season In exhibition games. the Yankees playing Brooklyn at Ebbets field, while the Giants engaged the White Sox at the Polo Grounds. |. According to camp followers both championship New York clubs are in excellent condition and loaded with confidence on the eve of their bid for three pennants in row in each cir cult but there is growing feeling among critics generally that their path toward the top this season is be- set with more formidable obstacles than at any time in the past two years.
 Taking into account the inevitable uncertainty of the game majority of experts view the coming American league race as a neck and neck strug- gle between the Tanks and Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers. As in the National league they predict a thre cornered affair with the Giants, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati as the principals.

An Interesting Study
 Tn Baseball Figures

In New York today four ball play CTS are scampering who collectively cost more to their clubs than the franchises of several big league teams did little more than decade ago. There, for instance, is Babe Ruth, who cost the Yankees $137,000. who will do his stuff at Ebbets field against the Dodgers. Then there is Willie Kamm, the Chicago White Sox third baseman, for whom $100,0O0 was paid by Charley Comiskey; Jimmy O'Con- nell, who cost the Giants s75,000, and Jack Bentley, for whom McGraw paid $s5,000. who will play at the Polo Grounds.
 A few years ago Charley Murphy paid something like $125,000 for the Chicago Cubs. and John T. Brush got the Giants for about $500,000. and the Yankees came into their present ownership for about $440.000. The four players in the aggregate cost al- most enough to have bought either the Giants or the Yankees less than 10 years ago. It's an idea of the value of baseball as business en- terprise, and the faith that the fans have shown in the game.

BASEBALL COMING TO LIFE!
 CALL FOR TEAM PROSPECTS
Dudack and Campbell Re- quest Players to Meet at Casino Monday Night and Discuss Plans for Season.

Baseball shows visible signs of com ing back to life here in New Britain The Corbin team, managed by Jack Tobin, already is under way and on Monday night there will be a mass meeting of players at the Casino al- leys to discuss plans for another team.
 Steve Dudack, one of the city's vet eran baseball players and on outfielder of no little ability, is greatly interested in the organization of a fast semi-pro aggregation in the city and in this Harold Campbell, formerly manager of the Annex team, concurs.
 Accordingly these two. men have called a meeting to be held at the Casino alleys for Monday evening at 7:45 o'clock to discuss the prospects of organizing fast team to talk over financial conditions, the choice of playing sites, home or out of town games. etc.
 Both Dudack and Campbell say that no individuals have been ap- preached and tentatively signed up for this team, as it is their desire to have every position open for compe- tition. Accordingly Monday nights meeting is a public one and any ball player who would like to hitch on with such an organization is urgently invited to attend. It is expected that former players on the Annex and Pio- neer teams will evince great interest in this proposed team.
 Campbell, it will be remembered, managed the Annex for three seasons and games were played with some of the fastest semi-pro hines in the state, including the Brussells of Thompson vile, the Schenk nine of Meriden, the Emeralds of Willimantic and the All Manchesters.
 It will be the policy of the man. agement of this team to hire no spe- Cial players at fancy rates. Instead, t .s proposed that those who become of the team shall agree on an equal share basis. thus avoiding she danger of petty jealousies and feelings of unfair discrimination in a financial way.

ROUSH MAY STILL SIGN
Rumor Says Reds Holdout Outfelder
 Will Accept Terms Today.

Cincinnati, April 14.-Hope has not been abandoned in local baseball cir cles that Ed Roush, holdout outf1elder of the Cincinnati Reds, will be brought into the fold.
 The directors of the club at another meeting yesterday refused to recede from their original offer to RoushS of $15.000 year minus $50 fine im- posed for every day he remained away from the training camp. Many fans have urged the directors to remit this fine. It was reported that another proposition was made to Roush but neither party to the controversy would confirm it. There was persistent rumor, however, that Roush would sign contract today at what was called the "club's terms" No eluci- dation on this was obtainable.

St. Louis, April 14. - The biggest mystery in baseball today surrounds the case of George Sisler, the best first sacker in the universe.
 Whether Sisler will start the sea- son with the Browns. whether he will be in shape to return to his position in mid-season or whether he will never again slip on his mitt are ques- tions worrying the St. Louis fans.
 Sisler's case is interesting as well as mysterious. It will be remembered that he fell upon his right shoulder in fielding wild throw at the flag end of last season.
 The fragments were torn and Sisler was advised to rest for the remainder of the year Against the advice of his physician he played in the series with the Yankees that meant winning the pennant for the Browns.
 Took Costly Chance
 Adhering to one of the traditions of the game may cost the Browns the 1923 pennant, even worse, it may terminate the career of one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
 In baseball no other word carries the sting of "quitter" To be branded as yellow is baseball's greatest dis grace.
 Unfortunately for George sisler, he was injured on the very eve almost of the most important series of the year. three-game session with the Yan-

Lasker Is Defeated at
 Chess by Marshall

Chicago, Ill.,. April 14.-By winning the sixth game of the chess match for the United States championship at the Hamilton club, after an adjournment extending over three days owing to Edward I.aslser's sudden illness, Frank J. Marshall of New York has again evened the score, which now stands at three games for each, with one draw. Lasker, who resigned after sixty-three moves had been recorded, made sev- eral minor mistakes in the handling of the ending, which Marshall clever ly turned to account. Both players left for Milwaukee. where the eighth game is scheduled to be played at the Hotel AStor.

YALE NINE LOSES OUT IN
 CLOSE GAME TO NEW HAVEN
Ellis Play Perfect Fielding Game Against the Eastern League
 Champions.

New Haven, April 14. - Chauncey Enc of last years Yale freshman pitching staff was selected to face the New Haven Eastern league champions in the opening game yesterday after noon at Weiss park. Enc held the Profs to nine safeties in seven in nings, and Tommy Hartnett, who re- placed him. allowed them only one hit in the solitary inning in which he toiled. New Haven won, however. 3 to l.
 The varsity collegians found the two Eastern league boxmen. Baum gartner and Joyce. for six hits, Cap tain Mallory of the Eli football team punching Joyce for triplt to the right field fence in the eighth. This hit led to the only Yale run, Captain O'Hearn of the baseball team follow ing with a safety through shortstop. on which Mallory scored. In the field Yale played without an error.
 Head Coach Tommers returned to his former Yale finely, restoring Cos grove to third using Hickey in right and replacing Desibour with Neale, the football star, in left.

SEVEN REASONS WHY MGR.
 RICKEY LOOKS FOR FLAG
Cardinals Leader Says That His Play CTS Are In Good Shape and
 Going Steady

St. Louis, April 14.-Here are some of the reasons why Manager Branch Hickey of the St. Louis Cardinals be- lieves his team has a chance for the pennant:
 Fred Toney is physically in the best condition of his career. He reported 20 pounds lighter than at any time during the last five years.
 The addition of Hi" Myers, who will play center field, and fill the big gap caused by the death of McHenry.
 The certainty that Bill Doak will be a vast improvement over last year when his inability to win with any de gree of regularity greatly hurt the Cardinals pennant chances.
 The fact that Dr. Lavan is much improved in health, and should be apable of playing his usual high class game. The assurance that Holm will be able to fill the bill at short if Lavan should falter.
 The belief that Jim Bottomly will play a much improved game both at the bat and in the field, regardless Of the fine showing he made asa rookie.
 The knowledge that the Cardinals secondary defense has been much i'm proved. A ball club is no stronger than it's substitutes. Hickey suffered last year for the want of high-class subs. He seems to have cornered number of them for the coming sea- son.
 The feeling that on the whole his pitching. so essential to pennant, will show to better advantage. There by taking advantage of the batting strength of the Cardinals. Rickey's team admittedly being one of the strongest clubs on the offense in the National league circuit.

Yankees Manager Declares Injured shortstop Won't Play For
 Two Weeks

Pittsburgh. April 14.--Speeding to- ward New York on a special train, the Yankees and Robins reached Pittsburgh at midnight last night. waited only long enough to change engines and then sped away on the last leg of their journey. If the train Is on time the teams will be in the Pennsylvania station at 10 o'clock, in plenty of time to play a game at Eb- bets Field this. afternoon.
 Everett Scott. who sprained his ankle in yesterdays game at Spring. field, Mo-, was up and walking around early this morning. Without telling Trainer Doe" Woods. Scotty strolled into the diner for breakfast and show cd only a slight limp. The ankle is not swollen and doesn't give Scott much pain. An x-ray picture taken last night at Springfield showed no broken bones. and the surgeons de- scribed it as an ordinary limp.
 Scott won't be able to play for two or three weeks, even though 1t is nothing worse than sprain," said Miller Huggins yesterday. But the Deacon thought otherwise. Play in the opening game? You bet will" said Everett, and there you are. Take your choice.
 One thing is certain--Huggins won't jeopardize Scott's chances just for the sake of keeping his consecutive game record unbroken. If Scott isn't ready to play Wednesday, he won't play. Anotber S,re thing is that HugginS will take immediate steps to get an- other experienced utility infielder. Such a trade is now brewing and may be consummated before next Wednes- day

IS SISLER, BROWNS STAR, THROUGH?
 Condition of Pnyer is Much Mooted Question

kces that really decided the pennant Sisler was in no shape to play against the Yankees His physicians forbade his even slonning q uniform. But Sisler, game to the core, thought only of what his fellow team mates as well as the other players in the league might say.
 Played on Nerve Alone
 The word "quitter" kept ringing in Sisler's ears. He played on nerve alone, simply because he didn't want the baseball world to comment on his failure to perform in the big event of the year.
 Present indications are that the club and Sisler are to pay a heavy toll.
 Several. weeks ago rumors were heard that everything was not all right with Sisler. A serious case of influenza. contracted during the win- ter. developed into serious complica- tions of the nose and sight.
 Sisler did not go south. Nor will he join the team before it returns to St. Louis. His physicians admit that he has been having trouble with his eyes, and it is reported that he must undergo an operation on his nose.
 But everything is clothed with the deepest secrecy. Aside from his phy- sicians no one really knows his con- dition.
 And meantime the St. Louis fans are in mourning for their pennant hopes.
