By Narrow Margin

The Grosvenordale Club, cellar ten- ants in the Southern New England League, came within an ace of turning back the Sox last Sunday in the cotton town as Rash, new port-side hurler, held the slugging silk men to four scratch hits. Only proper travelling on bases coupled with Grosvenordale errors in the eighth saved the Bedding cause.
 An illegal 27 inch mound forced Weiss, on the slab for Putnam, to for sake his best bet, the cross fire, allow ing Grosvenordale nine hits during the fray His eight bench tickets, however, all granted with men on bases saved several difficult positions for the Sox.
 A fine relay from the outheld, Planky to Franklin, to C. Nelson, shutting off the tying Grosyenordale run at the plate was easily the field ing feature of the game.

New York Saves the Day

President Hoover and Alexander Hamilton. Andrew
w. Mellon were fearful that there would be a deficit
instead Of a surplus in the treasury at the close Of
the financial year. They were a~greeably dsappoint-
ed. Total tax collections show an increase Of sl4o,-
100000 over the same months Of 1929.
A gain in one state made it possible for the ad-
ministration to report a surplus instead of a deficit.
New York was the state. 1t led the way with total
taxes collected In the nine months since the begin
ming of the fiscal year. returning $695.04s.5l0, and
accounted for most of the total increase. adding $780,
100000 more taxes this year than last.
Twenty eight states and one territory showed de-
creased income tax paid into the government treas
ury. In total taxes North Carolina was second with
S200.8 9s. $40. an increase Of approximately SIG. 900.
Illinois ranked third with an increase Of $l4.O00.O00:
Pennsylvania fourth. with a drop Of s6.Ooo.00o. and
California fifth. showing an increase in income and a
decrease in miscellaneous tax.
Thus 1t happened that New York and North Caro-
lima are the great income tax paying states Of the
union, with New York first and North Carolina Sec
ond. Thirty years ago, North Carolina was a poverty
stricken state. Now in textiles and tobacco and other
industries its growth in 80 years is told in the showing
made in income tax and corporation tax payments.

Shreveport in Census Picture

Shreveport is a fast growing Louisiana city. Its
1880 population is 76.2O7. This is an increase Of IA
per cent during the past 10 years. Census of the
1920 showed Shreveport's population as 1854.
Shreveport is in the center Of the Louisiana oil
and gas belt. u IS the center OF a rich agricultural
country. It is one Of the fastest growing cities OF
the cane belt section Of America, but its rapid growth
has taken place since 1920. Really the showing Of
the cities in the Old South east Of the river and the
cities in the south west territory Is nothing short
Of remarkable. Manufacturing is on the way and
manufacturing states are the wealthy states and their
industrial cities or towns are the places where the
money flows in the channels OF trade.

Ohio Prison Riot

Although reports from the Ohio penitentiary con-
tinue to be somewhat vague and contradictory. one
thing seems rather obvious: there has been. some
where, q dreadful amount Of bungling and i~neffici-
ency there at Columbus.
The prison itself was fearfully over-crowded and
sadly out Of date. Of course. And The fire itself was
enough to upset the routine OF the most carefully-run
institution. Those things, to be sure, 60 without say
ing.
Yet the amazing fact remains that a solid week
after the last dead body had been carried out Of the
prison, discipline was still broken down. More than
1900 convicts were still utterly defiant. The states
most dangerous and desperate wards we're still tell
ing the state where to get off-and were getting away
with II.
Somewhere, surely. leadership and executive ability
met a test that was Just a trifle too much for them.
It is hard to see how any other Interpretation can
be put on the facts.

NEW YORK, May - Going

house which is the last word in
tasteful m~odernistic decoration. 80.
And a party gathered there to cele-
brate the fact that George and his
brother Ira, were headed late this
summer for Hollywood to write
music and verses for Fox films.
And Gershwin, who whangs a mean
piano. fell to playing new and old
compositions, among them a new
natural, titled You're So Deli
cious." which one day will be hum
med from one end Of the land to
the other.
And the story goes that Maurice
Chevalier heard 1t and burst into
tears. because he couldn't have the
song. since he was a Paramount
performer.
And Gershwin. surrounded by
many friendly souls. took out an
old tune that lever has been given
a public recital. though it is one
Of his most amusing. And IL con-

thing about his pent house. which
at sunset offers such a view Of the
Hudson as is rare to find IN this
