French Income Tax
 Hits Farmers Lightly

PARIS, Jan. 23-Business mon in France pay nearly nine times as much income tax as farmers, although France is regarded as an agricultural country.
 Salaried men, although in the minority, pay three-fourths as much as business men and more than six times as much as farm CTS contribute. In like manner, there are three times as many salaried men and four times as many business men paying in come taxes as farmers.
 This inequality between busi- ness and the farm long has been a subject of controversy in par lament, but country votes all ways have been able to defend the farmer with the argument that he does his duty in feeding the people.
 A further comparison between classes of taxation, cited by busi- ness representatives, shows that business and salaried men both pay a little more than their pro portionates share of the income tax, while farmers, constituting 11.75 per cent of the 3,200,000 Frenchmen paying the tax, furn- ish only six per cent of the total.

Demons Snatch Sensational 20 to 10 Victory from Independents
|L0UCHRAN WINS
DECISION OVER
VICIOUS LOMSKI
Two knockdOwns Do Not Dis.
courage Champ, Who Takes
Final Rounds

New York, Jan. 7.-F-Tommy
Loughran continued to hold sway
over the light heavyweight domain
today by virtue Of decision after
g fierce struggle in which Leo
Lomski, of Aberdeen, Wash, at
one time had the pride of Philadel-
phia biting the resin dust.
Two battering fists, packed with
dynamite, knocked Loughran down
twice for the count of nine in the
first round Of a 15-round title en-
gagcment in Madison Square Gar
den last night.
But a courageous heart and ring
mastery served the Philadelphia
well, tiding him over the bad start
and eventually enabling him to
wear Lomski down in 10 Of the re-
manning rounds to take the deci-
sion and retain the title.
As Loughran said afterwards, it
was the most vicious battle of his
career and he had to call upon all
the receptions Of his trade to pull
him through. The knockdowns
were the first scored against
L0ughran since he was flo0red by
Gene Tunney in a bout at Philadel-
phia five years ago.
Lomski waged q furious combat,
firing somewhat in the closing
stanzas. Loughran ripped a solid
right to Lomski's head in the
eight round which opened q cut un.
der Leo's left eye. The wound bled
freely and slowed up the challeng-
er's attack.
Loughran, who won the light
heavyweight title by whipping the
venerable Mike McTigue last fall,
successfully defended the standard
against Jimmy Slattery, of Buffalo,
N. Y, about q month ago.
The title holder declares he is
willing to accept all challenges and
that after he had disposed Of all
opponents in his division, he plans
to battle Gene Tunney for the
heavyweight championship.

Washington, Jan. 7.-R-The

Yankees has not shattered the

Griffith and Manager Bucky Harris
are preparing for the 1928 campaign

Even with the absence Of Walter
johnson, Harris. believes that in
Lisenbee, Hadley, Van Alstyne, Sad
Sam Jones, Zachary, Marberry,
Burke, Braxton, CASTOR and several
promising pitchers from the minor
leagues he has the best mound stall
in the league. This group which is
equally divided between left Land
ers and right bsnders, ais has been
selected with . due regard to having
q few seasoned men, along with
those Of less experience. Hadley
and Lisenbee are now looked upon
by the club ~ being in the star
class.
Strength has been added to the
infield by the acquisition Of George
Sisler, who according to Griffith,
will alternate with Judge 1T first
base. Wise Washington fans, how
ever, cannot see . player Of Judges
calibre kept on the bench at any
time, and expect that he will be used
in . trade to strengthen the club
elsewhere.
Infield ID Strong
The other positions on the infield
are assigned tentatively to Harris,
Reeves and Bluege, but the club has
several minor league youngsters for
duty on the inner works.
The outfield trio Of Rice, Speaker
and Goslin, is backed up by West
and Camel, the latter having batted
for more than 400 last year.
Tentatively, Speaker has been as
signed in the outfield, but few ex-
pect him to remain with, the team
for another season.
The absence Of Walter johnson,
who will manage the Newark club
Of the international leagu next
season, will be fatal more from .
psychological than from = material
standpoint. The veteran was Of lit

injury to his leg, and after midsea-

Ruel and Tate will again be the
mainstays behind the bat. Although
Ruel has slowed up somewhat, he
still is regarded as one o. the best
