CHAMBER TO GET
BOND ISSUE PLAN
Committee Approves Pro-
posaI Designed to Hold Tax
Rates Down.

a recommendation that the District
Commissioners seek a bond issue to
take. care of permanent municipal i'm
provements as means of preventing
further increa ses in the tax rates dur
ing the next few years will he laid be-
fore the Cha OF Commerce at a
meeting next Tuesday night by its
committee on taxation and assess
ments.
This committee. at a session yester-
day, approved the bond issue plan as
presented in a resolution by Charles
w. Darr. The resolution suggested
an issue for a total of 500 900 900 to
run for a period Of so years and TO he
retired by a sinking fund During the
discussions it was suggested that If
the figure mentioned was deemed too
large it might he cut To $50, 900 900.
The theory on which the resolution
was drafted is that since a large part
of the money now being collected by
taxation is used for the purchase Of
land. erection of buildings and similar
improvements of a permanent nature,
that will benefit future generations as
well as the present. it would he proper
to require the taxpayers of the future
to share the burden by spreading the
cost over period of years.
The preamble of the resolution re-
cited that the tax rate is about to ad.
vance from $40 to $3.50 per 500 Of
assessed value. and that published re-
ports indicate the rate is likely TO ad-
vance to 81 or more ultimately.
Another resolution was put forward
calling for the appointment of sub
committee to advise the Commission
ers that the tax rate has reached an
equitable figure and should not go
higher.

JOHNSON HERO
OF PAST WORLD
BALL SERIES

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-(AP)-The
winning and losing fights of the
picturesque Washington Senators in
the worlds championships of the past
two years have taken place among
the most spectacular of basebalrs
classic title battles.
In the brilliant background they
have added to diamond history the
tall figure of Walter Johnson, the
Big Train, stands out, alternately
tragic and heroic.
Johnson pulled the Senators to THEFT
first championship in 1924 against
the New York Giants by holding the
fort dramatically in the final game
after being pounded into defeat in
two previous starts Against Pitts.
burghs rampant Pirates last fall, the
Big Train was invincible in his first
two games, permitting only one run
in 18 innings, but in the gloom and
mud of Forbes field he was shelled
into defeat as the Pirates came from
behind to take the seventh and final
game.
AS spectacles of tense dramatic
interest, of shifting tides CT fortune,
of sensational uphill ".ruggles and
heart breaking setbacks for rival con-
testants, these two championship con-
flicts of the last two years stano
at the top of the list. In Washington
there was a background of unpre-
cedented fervor in 1924 for the first
the capital city had
ever gained, while Pittsburgh burst
into fanatical flame over it's firss
since 1909.
These two series, incidentally, were
among only four which have gone
the full limit of prescribed games,
variousIy fixed at seven and nine
contests. The others were in 1909
and 1912.
Observers recall the 1912 series,
between the Boston Red SoX and New
York Giants as one CT the most
fiercely fought of all. Eight games,
including an thinning tie. were
fought out before the Red Sox finally
emerged triumphant, beating ChristJ
Mathewson in 10 innings in the final
contest, aided by a costly error by
Fred Snodgrass, Giant outfielder. So

BABE RUTH. TOYANKEES STAFF

No other player has played more

YANKS' INFIELD
CREENEST THAT
EVER TOOK TOP

NEW YORK, Sept. 29-(AP) The
rookie infield of the New York Yank-
ees is the greenest inner defense
that has ever confronted a worlds
series contender.
Smart pitching and an alright de-
fense are the factors that are con-
ceded to have the better chance to
win the big prize in baseball. This
year finds the Yankees with only one
veteran player on it's infield-Joe
Dugan at third base. All the others
are playing their first full year In
big league baseball.
Whether this infield VIII stand ur
during the strain of battle for tbs
seasons honors is a question. When
Miller Higgins team cracked wide
open in the 1925 campaign it tumbleo
from second to seventh place. There
were holes at shortstop and at second
while first base was slowing up
Everett Scott, the club shortstop on
the championship team of 1924, began
to slow down so that he was said
to be playing the position on dime.
Wanninger was given try at the
job but failed to hit and last season
Mark Koenig came to the Yankees
from the st. Paul club. He was
promptly given a chance at the job.
Meantime Higgins club was having
troubles at second base. Aaron Ward
fielding was good but his batting fell
away until he was almost useless and
he alternated with Ernie Johnson at
the middle sack At first base Wal1y
Pipp showed the effects of long serv-
ice and Huggins put Lou !Gehr1g at
the initial sack during the middle
of the season Gehrig's fielding was
uncertain but he had a penchant for
long distance hitting so dear to Hug
gins heart. There he remained.
During the winter the Yanks OBJ
tanned Tony Labberi from Salt Lake
City, of the Pacific Coast league
where he battered the fences wish
his hitting and sent up a record OF
co home runs.
Spring came and Huggins placed
the fiery italian at second, where he
has made the grade, while Koenie
filled the gap at shortstop. Koenig
has nerves at times, making bobbles
on the easiest chances and making
lard ones look easy. He Is better
en- shots to his right, where fine
throwing arm comes into play. Koenis
is a "turn over hitter, one of the
few in the big leagues. Ordinarily
he bats left handed.
oddly enough, both Lazzeri ana
Koenig at last available figures were
neck and neck in batting. Labberi
specializes in long distance hitting.
His power comes from his wrists.
Gehrig improved rapidly in his
fielding this year and maintained his
heavy hitting.
Jumping Joe Dugan, the only vet
eran on the Yank's infield, has played
a. steady game, after an operation for
a floating cartilage on his knee last
winter.
During the winter Huggins let

ELKS PERPETUATE MEMORY OF
THEIR DEPARTED BROTHERS

Truth of the assertion, so often re-
peated by members Of the Elks. that
no matter where he may roam or
whether among the living or dead, an
Elk Is never forgotten, Is illustrated
in the annual observance on the first
Sunday in December, throughout the
country of the Elks Memorial Day.
Elkdom perpetuates the memory Of
it's departed members. In each lodge
room there is a memorial tablet
sacred to the memory of the organ
ization's dead. On Elks' Memorial
Sunday, in every city and town
where there Is subordinate lodge,
the members of that lodge meet to
honor those who will never pass
through its portals again, by express
sions of hope, faith and love.
Faults are swept away on the shift
ing sands Of time; only the virtues of
the Elk remain. The memorial SER
vices are always impressive and
through them the sentiment that
makes Elkdom what 1t Is are
glimpsed. Elks are reminded that
there is no death, but only immor-
tality. and that men are born, not to
glance behind the curtain, but 1t is
sufficient to show that underneath
the surface Of mirth, jollity and good
fellowship, which exists among them.
there is the greater brotherhood that
makes such sentiment possible.
Each year the roll of departed
members Is increased. but when the
hands on the dial of the clock touch
the hour of eleven, the strokes mark
the hour Of recollection, sacred to
the memory of Elkdoms absent
brothers.
