is where they break out the bevy
Of gals from the bat bag.
All told, there's a good deal Of
glitter and tinsel about the produc.
tion, but not enough substance.
For a lack Of a better tag line,
this can be written off as not
enough hitting through the middle
of the line up. Perhaps Charley
Dresser, the managerial Shetland
pony, was thinking of this when
he said:
"We're mot ready to tear the
League apart-yet. But, at that,
we might catch the Giants. Last
year, you sold us too short.
Don't go overheard the other
way this time"
Last year, to be quite exact, I
picked the Cincinnati Reds to fin
ish a rattling, good eighth. This
time, I'd call them to hustle some
body out Of the first division-if
Chick Hafey can and does come
back.
"In June, maybe" Dresser
added, "it's got to be hot"
That's how they lost the man
last year. He played through a
rainy day. Got the misery" in his
sinuses and was seen no more. He
was hitting .399 at the time. I
should say that even another .315
hitter would make the Reds an ex-
cellent first division bet this year.
AS they stand, only Ernie Lom.

son, which makes it strictly all
right. Erickson left the tips of
two fingers in an auto wreck last
fall but they were on or off, as
the case may be, his glove hand.
Anyhow, he's having no trouble
about it. Bill Raimondi, up from
Oakland, probably is going back.
The pitching, headed by the o.
game Paul Derringer, is better
than a year ago, when it was good,
only nobody knew it. Gene Schott
has better curve ball; AL Hollings-
worth, the lefthander, who came
with a rush in the late months,
ought to be quite a pitcher now;
and the fourth starter, they say,
will be Lee Stine. who won 18 for
st. Paul. The others will be Tony
Freitas, Don Brennan, Walter
Hilcher, who won his two starts
for the Reds last fall; 81 johnson,
Benny Frey, Leroy Hermann, and
Lee Grissom, who has been brood
ing very deeply over the contract
rendered him.
Nothing, in fact, really matters
quite so much as the necessity OF
getting another athlete who will
hit no worse than 800. The an
swer might be Chapman, but, in
the end, I think it may go all the
way back to the sick man Of base
ball, Charles James Hafey, OF
Berkeley, Cal.
If Hafey happened to be right,
the Reds may contend actively; If
he isn't, they probably won't.

And 1 figure that the Irish are

to be making their homes.
Nothing is going to get me
down." Lewis said. "If / make

any third baSeman ever go
through a season without max
ing a boot? No, Of course not.
We'll, then, why worry about an
error. Forget the last one.
Don't think about the next one.
Play ball every day for all you've
got. That's what I'm trying to
do down here"
That's pretty sound philosophy
for a 1s-year-old kid who is STEP
ping out to fill one Of the most
trying posts in the major leagues.
And Lewis is not sounding off tor
the fun of talking. The klo

Wierd Heave
In the game with the Royals
Yesterday Lewis made a wierd and
wonderful wild throw to first
base The runner got all the way
to third base. This boot started
a four-run inning for the enemy
But two frames later Lewis came
to bat and. slashed a triple down
the first base line. Maybe it was
lust the result of a swing. Maybe
It was the spirit of the fighting
Irish: and the Irish that Lewis
claims as his own.
'Iewis has one fault that Is
common to young ball players,
Harris said this morning In
chatting about the young third
baSeman.
"YOu take that wild throw he
made. Well, when Buddy fielded
that ball he looked at the run

Then he tried to find Kuhel
again and missed. He cut mis-
neg and it was q honey.
"What Lewis has to learn"
said Harris, els 20 field the ball
and disregard the runner. He
will learn who are the fast men,
and we will tell him in the be-
ginning. Then if the ball is hit
slowly he will know that he must
field it quickly and throw fast,
always diSregarding the runner.
"Ossie Bluege told Lewis
about this little trick in field
ing, and 1 expect to note great
improvement in the boys form
right quick"
There is little doubt that Lewis

target and off the runner. There
is no doubt whatever of his ability
to play third base in fine style
even if he lacks the finesse thai
Bluege required years to acquire
Nor is there any doubt thai

THE TAX BILL

The following is an extract from the
Senate Committees Report or the Bill
to tax real properly 10 the Virgin Is
lands. 1t the Bill is passed as moulfi ID
by the Senate there should not be much
cause for complaint.
The Committee on Territories and Insu
lar Affairs, to whom was referred the bill
Oh. r. 8287) to establish an assessed val
uation real property tax in the Virgin Is
lands of the United States, having consider
ed the same, report favorably thereon with
amendments and recommend that the bill
as amended do pass.
In the bill as it passed the House there
was provision that the real property tax
es provided for in the act should be levied,
assessed, and collected under regulations
prescribed by the President until he oeter
mined that there was adequate administra
tive authority and organization in mum
clpallty under local law for that purpose
The committee recommend that this pro
vision be changed so that the regulations
of the President shall not become effective
unless the legislative authority of munich
pality fails for a period of months to en-
act laws for the levy, assessment, collec
ton, or enforcement of the taxes imposed
by the act. If such regulations are prescrib
ed by the President hey are to remain in
effect until the legislative authority of the
municipality shall make regulations for such
purposes.
The Committee has also modified the
provision of the House bill relating to
payments by the Virgin Islands Co. to
ho &C IL
the company determined to be equivalent
to the taxes which it would pay if the
lands of the United States in It's posses
sions were taxable, so as to provide that
the valuation of such lands should be fixed
by the local taxing authorities for the pur
pose of such payments. However, the Sec
