SENATORS TO BE BEST
ON PITCHING STAFF
Johnson Will Be Washington's Ace In Battles
With McGraw's Giants

unison that day. Even the tense rival
struggle for team honors will be lost
in the all-vital question of what John
son will do upon reaching the goal Of
his great career.
The Senator's chief hopes, too, will
center around the big westerner, whose
speed ball has famed more batters
than any other pitcher in the games
history. If johnson, after one of the
most successful years he has ever had,
can carry his old stamina and form
into the series, sWashington's chances
will be the ascendancy. johnson, in his
prime. has twirled and won three games
on successive playing days. He per-
formed that feat against New York in
1908. His arm could not stand such a
strain now, but if he is able to bear
the brunt of the Senator's mound work,
the Giants will find different barrier
to break down.
johnson Marvellous Pitcher
Johnson's major league record
through 10 seasons :, is studded with
marvellous achievements. He holds by
wide margin the worlds strikeout
record. With the completion of this
season, he has passed the 5000 mark.
and is practically 1000 ahead of his
nearest rival, Mathewson. He led the
American league marksmen in this res
pect this year for the twelfth time.
Old-time players say that when johnson
was in his prime, his Smoke ball' was
virtually unhittable.
The kansas Cyclone has won 800
games, only Is less than Mathewson,
with tail-end club most of the time,
Johnson's winning record is all the
more remarkable. In 1913, his greatest
year, he worked in 81 games, winning
80 and losing Z, putting his club almost
single handed into second place, the
highest position it~ever held until this
season. He won 16 consecutive games
in 1912, an American league record
which he shared with Joe Wood.
He also is the ,shutout king of all
time by wide margin, having fAn
his record up to 107 this year. In
1913, he was not scored on in SO con-
secutive innings. =,

r. UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 1.-(Spe-
cial. Preparations for the departure
of the Crimson Tide for Greenville, s.
c., were being made all day sWednes-
dsy and were to continue again Thurs
day morning. The Tide practiced here
Wednesday and will workout again on
Thursday afternoon, leaving Nat night.
More than 20 men will be taken by
the Tidesmen on their quest to Carolina.
Coach Wade said late Wednesday that
he had not decided who would make the
trip, but said more than 20 players
would be taken along. Newspapaermen
and flock Of supporters will accom-
papy the team.
Drills Passing
Furman's victory. over Newberry
last Saturday by 40 score was done
on passing attack and this phase was
drilled into the team Wednesday. Wade
Is prepping the men to look for all
kinds of attacks, in other words. coach
ing them to be able to resist the best
that Furman viii offer.
It is yet doubtful whether Hudson
and Johnston will be able to play Sat
urday. These two hefty ends have been
out for some time and are depended on
to fill gaps at end and later in the sea-
SON., SO will not be used unless fully
able to play.
Furman's line averages 3S6 pounds
and will be outweighed a few pounds to
the man by the Crimsons. The back
fields will average about the same, Fur
man having fullback weighing 1856
pounds, while 'Bama has Captain HUI
bert, a little over the $50 mark. The
halfbacks are about the same weight.
ScFimmages
Scrimmages against the frosh eleven
Tuesday resulted in the varsity show
ing good work at breaking up passes.
Alabama will have to watch her
blocking and tackling engainst the Fur
man outfit and work hard throughout
the game to win, the Crimson mem
tors believe. The Furman eleven is
known for its fighting spirit and this
will aid them in their struggle against
the Crimsons.
Barnes is suffering slightly from an
injured foot but will be able to take
his place with Brown and ellis in the
backfield Saturday. The .'Bama backs
were secuted by Furman Saturday and
will be watched pretty closely because
of their frequent displays of speed.
Regulars Changed
In scrimmages this week, the regulars
have been jerked out quite often for
not doing the things they were supposed
to do. Wade has not spared any of
them, for he is determined that the
Crimsons will put out all possible in
every game.
The Crimsons. are in good condition
Saturday. They S:ill arrive at the

NEW YORK, Oct. with Walter

sharp-shooting corps, as the outstanding
figure, pitching may be the decisive
factor in the 1924 worlds seriess be-
tween the Senators and the Giants.
Until recent years, twirling usually
was the most potent factor in the strug-
gle, but with the advent Of the lively
ball and the Babe RLtfNan home run
era, baseball strategy shifted. 1t has
been the speed and power of attack that

ship battles between the Giants and
the Yankees.
Offensive Won
John McGraw won the premier base
bah crown in both 1921 and 1922 from
the Yankees with the effectiveness of
his offensive. His hurting staff both
years was rated inferior to the five
star Yankee corps. Last year, it is
true, the utter. collapse of the Giant
Inoundsmen fastened the Yankee victory
but the mighty bat of the "Hugmen"
were more potent influence.
This year, however, with less live
" ball, pitching may come into its own
again. The Big Four of the WASH

that kept it there in the final drive.
Supporters of the Senators, figuring
they have the edge on the Giants in
the box, believe twirling will carry
Washington's first pennant winner to
the greatest heights in the game, but
Giant rooters are equally confident
that Nehf, Bentley, McQuillan and
Barnes will offersa potent rebuttaI.

Whatever the merits of the rival

INTERNAL REVENUE MAN
GIVES VIEWS AS TO AUTOS

Deductions allowed taxpayers in
connection with the maintenance and
operation of automobiles are the sub
ject of frequent inquiries from tax
payers in filing an income tax return
The following is for the guidance of
owners and prospective owners.
Such cost, for garage bills, gasoline,
repairs, etc, may be deducted as a
business expense when an, automobile
is used wholly for business purposes,
or in trade, profession, or farming.
When used partly for such purposes
and partly for the pleasure or con-
venience of the taxpayer and his
family, the cost may be prorated and
that part attributable to business or
the other pursuits mentioned deducted
as business expense.
The same rule applies with regard
to the deduction for depreciation,
which is allowed when an automobile
is used wholly in business, trade,
profession or farming and must be
apportioned accordingly, when used
partly for such purposes and partly
for pleasure. If an automobile is used
almost exclusively for pleasure, a de
duction for depreciation is not al
lowed
The purchase price of an automo-
bile, even when used wholly in bust
ness, cannot be deducted from gross
income. 1t is a capital expenditure
deduction of which is expressly dis
allowed by the revenue act The 5
per cent tax which attaches to the
sale Of an automobile cannot be de-
Quoted by the purchaser because it is
a tax levied on the sale by the manu-
facturer and must be returned and
paid by him. The manufacturer may
reimburse himself in the amount OF
the tax by agreement with the purch-
aser, in manner prescribed by Treas
ury regulations. So far as the pur-
chaser is concerned, the tax Is part
Of the cost to him of the automobile.
The manufacturer may not deduct the
tax in his return, unless the amount
is included in his gross income.
An automobile license fee is regard
ed as a tax, and may be deducted
whether the automobile is used for
business or for pleasure or conven-
fence.
Taxpayers are advised not to delay
in the filing of their returns. To do
so results in confusion and congestion
during the closing days of the filing
period, which enOs at midnight of
March Is.
Respectfully,
F. w. Howbert, Collector.
