James Magner Of New York,
M. Nelson Bond of Baltimore,
Lou Crist and the Mckinney
Miller Stable are the latest out
fits to secure stalls for the five
day racing meeting beginning
Tuesday at HagerstoWn.
Racing Secretary Edward j.
Brennan issued seven stalls to
Magner. a pair to Boni four to
Crist and seven to the Mckinney
Miller outfit.
Every horSemen receiving stalls
informed Racing Secretary Bren,
nan that they would ship only
fit horses upstate. This will
enable Brennan to have capacity
fields daily, and as he will limit
his fields to eight starters, no
horSeman will be allowed to take
any cripples to Hagerstown.
Several bus companies of
Baltimore will run daily spe-
cials to HagerstOwn and re.
turn. In. addition, the rail
roads will make special rates
for those fans who plan to
use this mode of travel.
Horsemen already at Hagers-

LEFTHANDERS
ADVANCE
To TOP

What could be prettier than
watching a pair Of left-handed
pitchers battle in gruelling game
on the sandlots?
And what city has as many
excellent left-handed san dlo I
nitchers as washington? Very
few that we can think Of.
The left-hander, for that's Ill
vou hear these days, has come
into his own on the sandlots. Al
most every team is possessed WIN
one ready to shoot at the enemy
in fact, the best bet to deteaI
this team or that one.
The right-handers are simply
in the background that's all
True, they outnumber their
brothers in hurting, but they
don't out-shadow them when II
comes to pitching and starting
games.
81 guess Lefty will pitch
today, huh?" is the general
question as the sandlOtters
make ready to take the field
for their games. "YeS' L
guess he will" is the answer.
And so Lefty goes in and pro-
ceeds to set down his Op-
pOnents with speed, control
and decision.
The left-hander is one Of the
unusualities of sandlot baseball.
He's got to be able to pitch or
he can't play. 1ntleld or OUT
field lefties don't rate unless
they can bat or play a talr out
field or a fine first base. To be
left-handed and pitch is com
plete according to the ideas and
molding brains Of the sandlot
manager who is always on tne
lookout for material to round
out his lineup.
Therefore the reason for so
many left-handers on the teams
of the sandlotterS. In order TO
play they have had to pitch and
to pitch they have had to learn
the finer points. Thus, after
years of perseverance they nave
come into their own.
Heretofore. when one has
mentioned a left-hander, he
has thought of pitcher
nothing else but wild, crazy,
cOck-eyed. no sense of where
he was going to throw the
ball and no stuff. The left
handler has changed the talk
now.
Now he has speed, control,

STANCE MOST
IMPORTANT
FACTOR
BY BABE RUTH

Joe rather 1ancleS hlmSet as a
first baseman, and every chance
he gets he grabs a first-sacker's
glove and tries to do a Gehrig
around that first sack. While ]
was explaining some of the pitch.
ing stunts to Mac, he fidgeted
around impatiently.
cav, that stuff's bunk" he
said finally. "Why don't you
show us something about first
basing."
"What do you want to
know"
''WelI, how do 1 cover that
bag when there's a man on
first? When do l come in
for a sacrifice? How do l
know when the second base
man is to cover first?"
The picture shows the result.
Here I have Joe all set for that
play with d runner on. From
that picture you can get lot Of
pointers on firstbase play.
Notice, first of all, that he is
playing on the inside of the bag.
That has this advantage, that the
first baseman is in a position to
stretch his full length for a throw
on a close play.
Joe is left-handed, and you will
notice he touches up with his
right foot. That puts him in
position to throw the minute he
gets the ball and without shifting
his feet. The reason lot of first
basemen get spiked is because
they put their right foot in
front of the bag and the runner
sometimes spikes him. Joe has
the right stance for first base
man. -
With the runner on you
will notice that I've got Joe
standing almost on the first
base line rather than aStrad-
die of the bag. Standing in
that position he is in fine
shape to tag the runner on a
quick throw to first. Taking
the ball in his glOved hand
he can make the tag all with
the same motion.
About coming in on balls. If
q runner is on first and you fig
ure the next hitter is going to
sacrifice the first baseman comes
in with the pitch in order to
field bunt that may come his
way. At the same time the sec
ond baseman cuts across to cover
first base on the throw and the
shortstop moves over to cover
second.
Another duty of the first base
man usually is cutting off throws
from the outfield. What mean
Is this. When a runner attempts
to score on sacrifice fly and
there is a runner on first F7~'
both runners touch up and start
with the throw. The outfield
makes his throw to the plate
The first baseman, in that case
runs in and if he sees there is
no chance to get the runner
the plate he cuts off the throw
and pegs to second to get the
runner there. That's a play that
requires a good arm and keen
tudgment. The good first base
man practices it a lot.

REALTORS OF j. S.
ASK TAX REFORMS
State and Federal Changes
Urged at Recent Conven.
ton in Toronto.

Two demands were made upon State
and Federal Governments for reforms
in property taxation by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards at
the recent Toronto meeting.
The convention adopted one resolu-
ton asking that the general property
tax be abolished in the various States
the Federal revenue provision as to cap
ital gains be changed so that the rate
will be reduced to half of the present
1912 per cent.
The preamble to the resolution asking
the abolition of the general property tax
declares that the financial burden of
State and local governments throughout
the United States falls primarily upon
property and mainly upon real estate
and declares the tax, irrespective OF the
type of administration system under
which 1t operates, to be inequitable as
between territorial jurisdiction under
the authority imposing the tax as we'll
as between types of properties which 1t
attempts to tax. The statement like
wise terms the general property tax in
equitable between individuals in rela-
ton to the amount of property owned
by them The preamble further declares
that State and local governments have
failed to perfect this system Of taxa
ZION so JnaG IL operates larry.
The resolution itself urges the aban-
donment of the tax as major source
of revenue for State and local gov
ernments and the substitution of rev.
enue source which will have the sup
port of all interested in equitable tax
alton and in the establishment of tax
system more nearly in accord with mod
ern needs"
The resolution on the capital gains
tax asks that the rate to be applied to
capital gains and capital losses should
be kept separate and distinct from the
rates to be applied to ordinary income.
It also requests that the rate on capital
gains and allowance for losses should
decrease as the number of years the
capital assets is held increases, until
the fifteenth year, after which there
should be no capital gain tax and CAPT.
tai losses should not be deductible. The
resolution further favored an amend
ment to the capital gain section of the
income tax law to provide that profit
on the sale of realty should be held to
be capital gain whenever property has
been held for more than three years by
the taxpayer, regardless of the business
of the seller or the purpose for which he
acquired the property.

lected for a special award in the 1880
better homes campaign conducted from

of quality and educational value of
the programs, freedom from CONNER
cial features, appropriateness to the
community, comprehensivenesS, COM
munity interest and cooperation.
The principal feature of the Rock
ingham County campaign was the re-
conditioning of three-room rest CEN

President Hoover in his message
to the convention stated:
"The provision of funds for
building of homes is one OF the
most important functions OF our
economic machinery, and, in turn,
is one of the most stabilizing in
fiuences in our economic life.
The building and loan associa-
lions have for many years played
a part of major Importance in this
vital work, and their service is
especially important now, for one
of the most potent influences in
maintaining and increasing en-
ployment would be the stimula-
ton of the use of the funds in
this field"
Making his yearly report before the
convention, Cellarius described the
growth of this business during dad
year" and said 1t was significant that
all building and loan associations were
able to pay the heavy Withdrawals that
followed the stock mrket crash OF last
Fall.
Association members that number
more than 100000 people, with saw
ings of more than $500 000, 900, in
associations, who relend these large
sums exclusively for home-buying pur-
poses The associations are under
State supervision in most States.
Finds Business picking Up"
Although Mr.. Cellarius reported
leSsened demand for mortgage money
for the second quarter OF 1890, the
league treasurer stated that business
was gradually picking up" throughout
the country, and referred with pride to
the S700 O00, 900 the public was able to
lay by in 1929.
Thus he figures that the average
amount held by building and loan
members increased $49.71 last year and
that $7l794 Is the average amount now
held by each of the 100000 members.
ITO us this means that everything
did not vanish last Fall" said Cellarius,
"People who had withdrawn their saw
ings from local associations have re-
established their accounts. New &C
counts have been opened. We have
assets today of $685., l54, 220, an in
crease of $679, 119, 1893, or a growth OF
nearly 8.5 per cent in the bad year
Of 1929.
"During the last half of 1929 spec
ulative mania ran riot among all class
es Of people. 1t eliminated in one OF
the greatest slumps in stock prices ever
witnessed by our people. A large VOL
ume of savings of our people was with
drawn from building and loan associa-
lions and other financial institutions
and poured into the stock market, 1t
is needless to recall with what disas-
trous results.
