BRITISH GROOM HAS
 THIRTY CHILDREN
Attendant Of Polo Ponies Is 71 Years Old

Westbury. L. l., Sept. 5.-Short, stocky, ruddy of complexion, with a wealth of English accent, Jimmy Faulkner, stud groom for the British international polo team, is a man 'pf@ parts. Looking not day over 50, Jimmy can boast of Fl years.
 The little Engishman has been married twice and is a true disciple of the late Theodore Roosevelt, with a strong disapproval of race suicide, he proudly boasts of no less than 30 children, IA boys and 1G bOnny girls. Five of his sons gave their lives for England in the World War, and when Jimmy talks of this, it is with a flashing eye that speaks volumes
 A great responsibility rests on the broad shoulders of Faulkner, who with string of 46 polo ponies 10 look after finds himself busy from morn tin night. Every pony in the string is under his direct care and receives all the attention of d pam pered child
 Nine of the string are named by Faulkner as the best Of the lot. They are: None So Pretty, l. X. L., Story Teller, Bubbles l, O'Deria, Petit Sing, Tobiana. Doreta, and Lady Bird, the apple of Jimnly's eye, who, accord ing to Jimmy, is as intelligent as most human beings.
 When asked how he thought the English mounts compared with the American string, Jommy gave it as his opinion that while the horses of the Amerisan players were bit faster on the get away and slightly heavier than his charges, the English ponies were quicker in making sharp turns and were better trained in following the ball.
 "A sporting chance!" is the way Faulkner put it when questioned re- garding the chances of the team in the coming matches. And America knows, that a sporting chance with an Englishman is a fighting chance

 PIGSK|N WARRIORS
All New Britain Eleven Has
 Promising Material

The first call for the candidates for the All-New Britain football eleven has been sounded by Coach David L. Dunn, for 10:3O o'clock Sunday morning at St, Mary's field.
 fThe management has so far se- cured the services of several of the star performers of past seasons, 4iong with number of new men who will make a bid to oust the regulars for various positions on the team. Among the familiar faces back with the team 50 far are James Uncle" Connolly, last years captain and star end; Bernard Con- nelly, who finished the 1923 season first string man with Captain Jim Leonards Colgate eleven; Joe Rogers, the Meriden boy, who has easily led the pack in the selections of the all-Connecticut team as center for the past two seasons.
 The signing of Rogers has set aside rumors that have been afloat that he would be seen in the Meri- den lineup this season. Tommy Duly, Hartford boy, who has worn the spangles of the Nutmegs and the All-New Britain teams for the past two seasons, is another favorite who has affixed his J. H. to con- tract. Segretta and Blanchard have also hooked up with the local management, as have Tommy Fully Johnny Landers and Clark, who have made fame in past seasons with the All-Hartford team.
 Among the new men expected tc be on hand for the opening practice are. "Swede" Kempf, formerly oi Middlebury and highly recommended by Stan. Ashley; Harlow and Scott members of the Besse-Leland base ball team; Macristy, former Higf school star: Jumbo" Drose, a 240 pounder, who gained some expert ence with the Nutmegs in 1928, ant who was with the Mohawks O Meriden last season; Lemmell, ; former member of the Quantic, Marines, who comes to the tean highly rated as kicker. Stan Kennedy, one of the greatest pig skin warriors that ever played fo Trinity college will be in the back field for the locals.
 The management announced las night that Dixie" Griffen ant Charley Rakowsky, former Nev Britain High school players, vii get chance to display their wares Both of these boys ought to conn through under the coaching O Dave Dunn. e7

America ought to go through the British golf team in the Walker cup Sept. 12 and 15, like pair of house dice through a yokers bank roll.
 Great Britain will he represented at Garden City, l.. l., by a make shift team, minus the talented ser vices of Roger Wethered, brilliant scorer, and E. w. Holderness, press ent champion.
 Against player of the type of Bob- by Jones, Jess Sweetser, Francis Ouimet, Max Marston, Chick Evans and Dr. o. F. Willing, the invaders, led by Cyril James Hastings Tolley, no not figure to get very far. Not in the individual matches at least.
 But in the foursomes-that's flapper with an' entirely different ankle
 
 Let's study the Walker cup situa- ton. America has won all three of them to date, and is almost sure to win again this fall. The first year the matches were held England was beaten 9 to 8. Last year the margin of defeat was a single point, 6h to 51b. The improvement lies entirely in fourSome play.
 THREE MEMBERS OF THE IN VADING BRITISH TEAM. LEFT TO RIGHT, E. F. STOREY, C.s4m HEZLET, CYRIL FOLEY.
 The first year the Britishers lost all the foursomes; the second year they won one such match, and last year they took three out of four. A steady, gradual march upward.
 It might be explained here that these foursomes are exactly what the name implies-real foursomes, two men on side and each side playing but one ball. The players on each side drive from alternate tees and then take turns in playing the other shots into the hole.
 This is a style that is only indulg- ed in on American terrain during the Walker cup matches, visitations from royalty and free gasoline weeks.
 Need FOursOme Practice.
 In other words it is not played at all. The American simply plunge into the cup foursome blindly and usually, without any preliminary group practice, hoping that some how or other individual superiority will carry them through.
 Despite reverses in foursome play last year the aggregate success oi the team in the individual matches put the Stars and Stripes over. The result will probably be the same this year, especially with Wethered and Holdernes missing from the British | lineup.
 It does seem, however, that al long as foursome play fills such al important part of the internationa golf schedule, players in this countr! would at least strike up a passing l acquaintance with 1t.

Brooklynites Believe History Will Repeat And Their Team Will Win Johnson Ador- ed By Washington Fans.
By The Associated Press.

New York, Sept 5.-The Brooklyn Dodgers of 1924 are emulating the Boston Braves of 1914. It Was just 10 years ago that the Boston Braves, trailing the whole field on July 4, began their famous drive that brought them under the wire the first in September. And over across the Brooklyn bridge they're saying that history repeats itself every decade.
 From the ancient corridors of Borough Hall to the outskirts of Flatbush they're talking baseball and the turnstiles at Ebbets field are being reinforced for the rush of cash customers to Squire Ebbets' pastim- ing amphitheater when the Robins came home to roost for the next series.
 It was on Sunday, August A, that the stalwart shoulders of the mighty Dodgers were last pinned to the ak minister. And they were well nailed at that killing, the Cardinals admin isering a double defeat to the Brooklynites, the second game go- ing to the Hickey employees, 17 to Q. But since that humiliation the Dodg- CTS have won exactly 13 straight games, eight of them in the last four days.
 Breaks Records.
 The record books fail to show any other performance similar to that of the Dodgers in winning four con- secutive double headers on as many days.
 When this sensational winning streak started the Dodgers were well heeled in third place, seven and one half games behind the league-lead- ing Giants. Today the Brooklyn team stands in second place, three points in the percentage column be- hind the Giants.
 The Dodgers yesterday won a pair from the Boston Braves, jumping from third to second place when the Pirates skidded against the Cardi- idlSs Anu Q NlStOil lCS NNA N decisive, the first game going to the Ebbets employees, 5 to l, and the sec ond taking the same route to l. St. Louis thumped Pittsburgh, 9 to 5, and the slipping Giants lost de- cjsion to Arthur Fletchers Phillies, 10 to $. The Cincinnati Reds, fight ing desperately to land in the first division, blanked the Cubs, to O.
 Down in Washington they're thinking of running Walter Johnson for president on an independent ticket with Stanley Harris as his running mate. They're calling the royal and ancient Walter the Wash ington monument and defying any of their rivals to try and climb it.
 The Senators yesterday, with. Wal ter Johnson feeding the pills, admin. istered the ether to the Boston Red Sox while the Yankees were knocked unconscious by Connie MaCk'S Ath' letics.
 The Washington club won, 12 to 5 while the Yankees trailed the Ath letics, to 3. Chicago and St. Loui! started an argument which was cur tained in the second stanza due tt excess moisture.
 Washington now enjoys a lead O two full games over the ambitious Yankees and the season is waning But the American league gonfaloI will be decided on western battle fields as both the Yankees and Sena tors have important assignments il Missouri, Illinois, Michigan anC Ohio that will likely muss up tn, complexion of the percentage col Hmn tn a considerable extent.

September 23 1924.
The effect of adoption by the
people in the coming election of
the Initiative measure for the i'm
position of a gross value license
tax on the mining industry,
would operate as an increase of
81 per cent over the present
metalliferous mines license tax OF
our concern.
We believe the proposed license
tax would prove very burdensome
to the industry. and in many in
stances, practically confiscatory.
No good will come TO the state
by Gripping the industry in this
manner, as In our judgment, Ii
will greatly limit production in
the state and decrease present
revenues by destroying subjects of
taxation
Mines are already paying one
and one-half per cent metaili-
ferrous mines license tax, and one
per cent corporation license tax,
both based on net proceeds, also
the full tax on one hundred per
cent assessment of net proceeds
the highest assessment on any
species of property; also the tax
on mining claims, as well as sur
face improvements and machinery
In addition to heavy taxes paid
to the government.
II any more inventions, or de-
vices under the guise of license
taxes, are added to the burden
borne by the mining industry, 1t

SILVER DYKE PROTESTS.

The future Of mining development
in Montana rests solely on what dis
position voters OF the state make OF
the metals mine tax at the Novem-
Der election, Howard L. Young, man
ager of mines for the American Zinc,
Lead and Refining company, declared
in Great Falls Saturday night.
1T is equally as unfair TO tax the
farmer on the gross profits Of his
wheat crop as It Is to tax the mnies
on their gross profits" Mr.. Young
said.
Several years are required at times
TO develop a mining operation to the
extent that It will yield dividends,
says Mr.. Young. and 1t is in this In
stance where the proposed amend
ment will do the greatest wrong. In
the development of mine thousands
OF dollars are sometimes written in
the red" before any profit IL re-
ceived. but this viii not be considered
IN the amendment, he argues.
The Carbon County chronicle. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1924, 1924-10-29

The real truth is that the mining
industry pay more taxes and more
kind of taxes than any other in
dustry in tho state.
1t Ia being urged by those In
favor of this gross production tax
measure, that only the big fell
lows" will have to pay 1t, and that
1t does not hurt the small mine
owner. This Is not true. and Is
only another sample OF the same
old campaign stuff going the
rounds. Even now / am being held
down and hampered for want OF
money to properly equip the mine
/ am now operating in the Little
Rockies" In Phillips county, and
the reason given me by men with
money is, that they want to wait
and see whether this measure
passes. 1t II does. ! can't get 1t.
My belief is that this gross pro-
duction tax is but fore-runner
and the entering wedge for the
gross production principle OF tax
alton and that within this decade
attempts Will be made TO fasten 1t
upon farming. stockraising and
other industries.
