Last week Washington fans
were told in this newspaper ex-
clusively that Griff was coming to

ing determined to break up the
illogical rotation Of the all7Star
game, whereby neither Griff Sta
dunn, Yankee Stadium, Shibe
Park in Philadelphia, or Fenway
Park in Boston, all American
League parks, could hope to ever
stage the July interleague base
ball extravaganza.
Even after that story Griff was
dubious that he could grab next
years game because Of possible
opposition from st. Louis or De-
troit which would have fallen heir
to the game next summer, accord
ing to the alternating plan origi-
nally adopted for the game.
THE system has got to be
broken up sooner or later Griff, !"
your correspondent urged on the
Old Fox, adding "go up to Boston
next week and make as hard a
fight for the 1887 game as you
have in years gone by for other
baseball reforms, and you'll land
that game"
Griff promised, and late last
night, after a very amiable SeS-
sion Of the American League
magnateS, it was announced here
that Washington will be host to
the ensuing all-star game a year
from this month.

This game, judging by the inter
est displayed by its four predeces-
SorS, will bring to washington for
a period of approximately two
days crowd of baseball enthuSi-
asts equal to a world series, which
usually attracts a throng for an
average of three days.
That there is nothing except
civic pride behind Griff's effort to
give Washington its first inter
loop all-star game is atteSted by
the fact that it will cost him a con-
siderable sum to stage the game.

EXTENDED TAX
PLAN SUCCESS
Allowing Delinquents to Pay
Taxes on the Ten-Year Plan
Meets With Favor.

The 10-year payment plan authorized
by the last legislature in order to speed
up payment of delinquent taxes and at
the same time give property owners an
opportunity to retain their lands and
buildings is proving a success, according
to those in the office of the clerk of dis
trict court charged with administering
the tax plan.
Up to date 256 tax confessions have
been made. AS a result, the county
during the next ten years will receive
8,3136O in delinquent taxes. Property
owners paid s5,715.s7 to the county in
making tax confessions. It is required
that at least one-tenth of the amount
due in back taxes must be paid at the
time confession of the debt is made and
property owners have until November l,
1887 to take advantage of the plan.
