BILLIONS OF TAXES

Final figures from the Bureau of Internal Revenue
show that income tax collections last year reached the
enormous total of S2172 000 That was about $780,
100000 more than the year before.
The experts had declared that the governments in
come from this would be curtaied because the
rates were lowered. Evidently the tax cut opened
new resources, mainly moral and psychoogicaI With
lower rates. taxpayers made honest and complete
reports taking less trouble to figure out technical ex
emptions.

Couch was a very successful coach,
having developed championship teams

years has held the championships of

first used the "huddle system" in
Arizona and his team swamped the
Tucson Badgers 16 to 0 and walked

Douglas tied with Nogales for south

Couch enjoyed a wide reputation
in Arizona as a coach and his resig-

| is viewed with great regret, as he
built up physical department second
to none in the state. The Greenville
News gives. a detailed report of his
work in the schools Of that city since
he came there in 1924.

BIG BILL HUNTS
BRITISH Lion in
PUBLIC LIBRARY

CHICAGO. Oct. 27 lP)--Mayor Will
liam Hale Thompson, who heads the
British lion hunting expedition in
Chicago, today trained his artillery
on the public library and fired
broadside calculated to frignten Une
game from that hunting ground.
The mayor wrote letter to the
board of trustees charging that pro-
British and un-American propaganda
was being disseminated in the form
of reading courses sponsored by the
American Library association.
Mayor Thompson called attention
to the trustees to a booklet by Her
bert Adams Gibbons of Princeton,
entitled Reading With Purpose
Europe in Our Day" distributed by
the American Library association
from the Chicago library and adyo-
eating the reading Of six books.
Four of these books, he charged, in
cluding one by Dean Inge, contained
matter which he considered uIl-
American. He quoted from this book
and from the descriptive booklet at
length, and asked the board to en-
tighten him on what was meant by
advising the reading of such matter.
Meanwhile, u. j. "Sport" Herr
mann, head of the mayor S committee
to hunt British propaganda in the
library, had seized four books. which
he had heard are tainted, and said
he would read. @
The original cause of the furore,
the custer of superintendent William
McAndrew, pledged by Mayor Thonp-
son in his rnayoralty campaign last
spring, has been relegated tempor-
arily to the background Mr.. Nc
Andrew. suspended on charges Of in
subordination, faced his accuSers be-
fore the board of education yesterday
and heard fresh charges of pro-
British history tests being used in the
schools The hearing was continued
until next week.
Meanwhile some of Mayor Thonlp-
sons close advisers have been sre-
ported to have told him to drop the
investigation of British propaganda,
maintaining that he has laid himSelt
open to ridicule, rather than hesoang
correct the evils be believes exist.
To this advice the mayor has been
reported to have turned deaf ear.

HE PITCHED TO WIN

It was my very good fortune to
work the first ball game Walter
johnson pitched / in the American
league. On the anniversary OF his
goth year with the Washington club
President Johnson assigned me to
that city to umpire that game.
During the 20 years that Walter
Johnson starred in the American
league, and to my way of thinking
earned the right to- lbe classed as the
greatest pitcher of all time, / have
seen him perform Some remarkable
feats. rs
I umpired the series in which he
shut out the New York Yankees in
three successive games have worked
a dozen games in which he has
struck out from 10 ITO IA men.
In one of these games he struck
out 10 Detroit players in five innings
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-10-28

Few athletes in any line Of sport,
having reached stardom, are able to
fully realize when they are slipping
and seldom are they able to reach
the conclusion that they are through.
Walter Johnson, who has been an
exceptional pitcher ever since he
came to the majors 20 years ago, has
proved, as one would expect, that he
is the rare exception to the rule that
no sport celebrity knows when he is
through.
johnson has asked that he be given
his, unconditional release by Wash
ington, since he feels that he is more
of a handicap than help to the
club that he has served SO long and
well.
The asking of waivers on the
veteran will merely be a matter

and seemed certain to set record
when his team gave him a four-rur
lead in the sixth inning. He eased
up and famed only two players in
the last four innings. He pitched tc
win, not to make records.
Time and again I have seen john
son strike out the side with the bases
filled. On one occasion I saw him
fan six in row, and he didn't use
over "a balls to turn the trick.
There may be another Walter
Johnson in the minors, but L have
my doubts. Pitchers like. him
come only once in lifetime.

SMART OF WALTER
1t was fitting that Walter Johnson,
the most popular player in the his
tory of the game, should retire before
his work so refrigerated that the
shouts of "take him out" would be-
come the college yell of the tickle
fan.
Most outstanding stars remain in
the game too long and in the closing
years of their career suffer indignities
and criticism that take much Of the
edge off the many superlative feats
they had previously performed.
In all probability, Walter Johnson
will, retire from the majors, the only
pitcher who has never been subjected
to abuse from the bleacherites. He's
smart.
