N THE twenty-five years I
| have been unpiring in the
- American League, Ted Lyons
of the Chicago White Sox stands
out as one of the best pitchers I
have ever called balls and strikes
for.
In his repertoire, he has every
thing that goes to make a great
pitcher, a fast ball that hops, fast
and slow curve, a fine change of
pace and a remarkable knuckle ball,
that breaks like a splitter, over
which he has uncanny control.
Lyons had already won sixteen
games this year and lost at least
five which would have gone on the
right side Of the ledger had the
breaks favored him. He has a
chance of recording twenty-five
wins this year.
Five years ago he was pitching
for Baylor University. He is a
.protege of Manager Ray Schalk.
Since his debut he has finished
every year with a mark better
than 500.

T WAS most unfortunate 1or
/ the fight game that Jack
Dempsey's victory over Shar-
key wasn't more clean cut. The
claim of foul always will belittle the
unexpected comeback of the former
champion.
Under his signature, several days
prior to the fight, there was a'state-
ment by Jack Dempsey that his only
fear was he might lose the fight on
a foul. From that, one would gather
that Dempsey intended to confine
his attack to the waitline or there
aboutS.
The detailed account Of the fight
bears out that belief, for Dempsey
at every opportunity kept pumping
rights and lefts into Sharkey's mid
section.
Since a number of the leading
sport writer's of New York, men Of
national reputation, express the be-
lief that Dempsey hit number of
low blows, particularly the one that
helped end the fight, it would seem
there was much justice in Sharkey's
claim.

the Dempsey -Sharkey fight, Kelly
was enthusiastic about bringing the

Today Kelly said the question of

approve of the conditions, we'll let
them use the stadium"

INJUNCTION TO

action in opposition to holding the

tember was heard today as Tex Rick
ard started for Chicago to meet Mayor
1nompson's Representatives TO COM
plete arrangements for use of Soldiers
Field stadium.
An application for an injunction
was filed in circuit court by Attorney
j. Kentner Elliott, who said he based
his suit on Dempsey's WaY record. He
charged that the proposed heavyweight
championship contest was contrary
to the peace and good order of society
in general"
But this minor note of protest en-
countered renewed clamor for the
match, the state athletic commission
repeating its previous invitation to
Rickard to bring the fight here.
"The Athletic commission has not
yet been consulted about the fight"
said John G. Righeiner, chairman,
but we are very anxious to have it held
here and will give all assistance we
can under the law.
"If George F. Getz, who has stated
that he will become the licensed pro-
moter, applies to the commission he
will be welcome to our aid. Of course
the fight must be arranged in ac-
cordance with Illinois law and the
rules of the commission. But I see no
obstacle to it now"

$13,578,488 when compared with last

The state tax commission certified
an increase of more than $18,578, ,488
but decreases in the assessments
made by the county assessors caused
the increase to be diminished by al
most $5,0O0,O00, a large portion OF
which is caused by a reduction made
by the Gila county assessor and

would be, put back on the rolls
Final figures were announced by the

ternoon. The commission informed

ture valuations. In defending his act
ion Oglesby stated that he did not re-

Commissioner Hughes brought out in
the discussion that the Maricopa
county assessors office had So field
men employed in the tax work and
that a majority of the field represen-
tatives devoted the greater part of
their time to collecting automobile
license fees, Hughes pointed out that
other counties did this work without

their office rolls, while Pima county
had only seven.

New York Subway Is
Threatened By Bomb
After Strike Is Averted

NEW YORK, July 27 B-With
the threatened subway and elevated
line strike averted, at least for the
time being, the millions who ride in
and out of Manhattan every day
turned their attention today to a
bomb found shortly after the strike
was called off in one Of the East
river subway tunnels.
There was no suggestion that the
bomb had any connection with the
projected strike, police believing it
had been placed by crank.
Police bomb experts and a chemist
of the United States bureau OF mines
found that the bomb, an 18-inch
iron pipe and screw caps about the
shape of a three-inch artillery shell,
was filled with five pounds OF
dynamite and gun powder. An elec-
trio percussion cap, was connected
by wires to the third rail. in such
manner as to be detonated when a
trained passed. The wiring was
faulty, however, and several trains
had passed over the spot before q
track walker found the bomb.
The bureau of mines chemist ex-
pressed the opinion that if the bomh
had exploded the walls of the tun-
mel would have been blasted away
and the river would have inundated
the tube, probably drowning all the

where, but it is found in many piac-

grass arc woven into baskets they
keep their perfume, which IS like
that of new mown hay, for a long
time. The Indians of old used TO
make sweet grass baskets.
1t did not take Uncle Wiggily
long to find where some sweet grass
was growing ON the hillside, and
pulling several lunches he sat down
in the shade of a tree to weave a
small box, or basket with a cover,
in which his wife could keep her
handkerchiefs. Sweet grass is one
OF the perfumes used by the ami
NAL folk of Woodland.
While Uncle Wiggily was getting

handkerchief box, all Of sudd N

One morning, as Uncle Wiggily

his hollow stump bungalow to
eat his breakfast before going ad-

the little bunnies at the table:
'Now don t say anything to Dad
