All this because the st. Louis,
Browns accommodatingly de-
feated Connie Mack's men at a
time when the GriffS needed this
turn of affairs most.
But the Indians defeated the
Boston Red Sox, and therefore
gained a full game on the Griffs
in their bat..c to overtake the
Johnson team for third place.
The Griffs now hold three and
one-half game advantage over the
Indians for third, while they still
are behind the AS two and one
half games for second place.
These figures probably will
have been thoroughly reviewed
by the majority of baseball
minded Griff fans at this time
and hour, but it's well to go over
them again to bring out just
what Manager Johnson'S men
must do to keep their heads above
water for the remainder Of the
season.
1nlr0 SGra1gnG
Having lost three straight, the
Griffs face a turn about in their
play if they hope to accomplish
their aims of finishing in second
place. Also they face the neces-
sity of winning today if they ex-
pect to finish on even terms with
the Tigers for the season.
The Tigers have nov won II
of the 81 games played with the
Griffs. Yesterday they won their
eleventh by noSing out in an
8-to-7 ten-inning contest.
It really was a shame that the
Griffs had to lose. All because
they started out so well. In the
first inning, for instance, they
routed Elon Hogsett, left-hander,
by scoring five runs.
Then in the fourth, Heine
Manush made possible two more
runs off Whitley Wyatt by lacing
a home run into the right field
bleachers with Rice on base.
Tigers UnwOrried
The Tigers, however, did not
let this bother them at all. They
went right ahead and slowly but
surely drove Big Fred Marberry
from the mound. In the third
they counted one run. In the
fourth, they added four more
while in the seventh they scored
two more to tie the score by TT.
Professor Monte Weaver re-
lieved Marberry in this seventh
and finally was charged with the
loss becauS of Tigr rally in the
tenth. In this frame, a bit Of
out-guessing was brought into
play by Manager Bucky Harris
of the Tigers. Weaver had walked
both Soluble and Desautels when
Bridges came to bat. Bridges
tried to sacrifice twice, but
failed. Harris flashed the sac
rifice sign again and Bridges
fooled the Griff infield by lay
ing down a perfect bunt-also
beating it out. Davis then sim
gled to center and the game was
in the bag.
The Griffs leave Immediately
after today's game for Cleveland
where a three.game series will
be begun tomorrow with the In
dians. A doubleheader IS on tap

Farmers Tax
To Be Lower
Valuations and Rates Are Less
Than in 1881, Ohio State
University Expert Points
Out

Ohio farmers will pay from 20 to
25 per cent less taxes in 1882 than
in 1881, Russell Moore, Ohio State
University tax specialist, has esti
mated.
Moore said three factors figured in
the decrease.
First, he explained, rural real es-
tate valuations were reduced approx
imately IA per cent throughout the
state Then, the average rural tax
rate was lowered per cent. Ano
owing to change in property classi-
fication, farmers will be taxed less or
personal property this year.
Moore said farm taxes have de-
clined for three successive years If
Ohio.
when all factors are considered
he concluded, 1T is evident that
more forces are at work than evel
before to continue the present trent
toward lower farm taxes. Not leasi
among these is the more active IN
terest which farmers are taking Il
the affairs of local government"

caught two men in the act of stealing
gasoline from his tank.
Caught in the act" failed to have
any effect on the robbers for they con-

picked it up and started to walk out,
telling Wade that they had no money
and needed the gas to get home. They
placed the can in the rumble seat Of
their car but Shannon grabbed it and
they drove off without the needed fuel,
