 In the revenue and taxation bill as it passed the House there was a provision that coal imported into the United States and Alaska be subject to a tax of 10 cents per 100 pounds. When the Senate consid- cred this bill on the night of May 20 there was persistent effort to cut out this tax on coal, but it failed by the close vote of 38-35, when Senator Walsh of Massachu- setts changed his vote from nay to yea, making the result 39 to 34, in order to later move for reconsid- eration.

 First City

In the final game Juneau rolled team total of 1035, despite the fact that Jim Barragar was bothered with an in- jured thumb that should have re- duced his effectiveness but appar- ently did not. Metealf's 678 for the last three games established a new inter-club alley record.
 Women Outclassed
 The Juneau women were badly outclassed by their Ketchikan sis ters, losing out in the series by 643 pins. But they all say they had a good time
 All the games were witnessed by great crowds of fans, who showed plenty of enthusiasm and lost no opportunity of letting the bowlers know they were on hand. The Ju- neau bowlers report that the alleys were in perfect condition and faster than the local runWavs

The Big Town gave Hack Wilson a pretty fair send-off, considering .e he came in as something of a sec- ond or third hand baseball chattel having been discarded by the Chi cago Cubs and subsequently, by the St. Louis Cardinals.
 But the Hack has color. He is be- ing given a fresh chance to deliver and the benefit of lot of bally- ? hoo. If he gives his new employers in Brooklyn the same kind of a break it will be all O. K. in Flatbash.
 True, Wilson took a 50 percent salary cut, the biggest. of the year for any baseball star, but Hack is a fortunate young man with piano legs and a bull neck to be getting anything like s16.5e0 for six months work when you consider the way he squandered his resources last season.
 Many a bank has been robbed for much less money than that and two such celebrated youngsters a. Pepper Martin and Dizzy Dean went find that much in their pay envelope combined, all year.
 So the Hack, one may well say has been "staked" very generously for his comeback, which he seems quite confident of making. He ]. .mumblad something that sounded like Hit 45 for yuh," in talking to Max Carey and referring. presum ally, to home runs It's a large size order with the jack-rabbit ball no longer available to knock around.
 Hack will be lucky if he collects 30 home runs this year. considering the extra distances he must carry in the big Brooklyn park, plus the fact that pitchers will tackle him with considerable confidence this . year
