80 or more years ago Anderson,

madly from first to second, only to
find a teammate had squatter's

lucky money. Here's the story:
Stole Occupied Base
Helena was three runs behind going
into the ninth inning. The first mar
up walked; the next man was out for
sacrificing; John Bonehead, who didn't
play under that name, also drew a
next batter, who happened to be Man
ager Irby. John B. raced for second.
Imagine his surprise to find n of his
mates there! Imagine the chagrin OF
his teammate. And, imagine, If you
can, the rage of Irby, who almost had
apopleXy, as n of his players was
given a unanimous razzberry by the
home crowd. Irby was so mad that he
swung with all his might on the next
ball pitched and parked it out OF the
lot, which was good for two runs, mt
short of a tie. The next batter flied
out to right field-and the game was
over.
Irby, in the clubhouse after the
game, rode the offending player K
a cowboy. He ended up by slapping a
fine of S25 on the player.
Paid Fine Right Now

LICENSE TAXES
REVENUE HIGHER
SOURCES SUPERVISED By EQUAL
IZATION BOARD YIELD 7 MIL
LION; GAS BIGGEST

During 1886 the state board of
equalization collected from its va
riOus license tax sources a total of
S7,253,500.l6, as compared with
S6,524,235.9S for the previous year,
an increase of S~729,264.1S, it was
announced at the capitol.
Members of the board are j. H.
Stewart, chairman: Sam Coca and
j. j. Greene.
Of the l6 revenue sources super
vised over by the board, IL showed
healthy increases. They were the gaSo-
line tax, oil, income, car line, coal, &C.
ment, natural gas, metal mines, tele-
graph, electrical energy and Inherit
ance.
But five license taxes dropped in
1886 over 1885, the final tabulation
disclosed. These were the chain store,
corporation. beer, contractors and
cigaretS.
Gas Tax Leads
The state gasoline tax of 5 cents a
gallon proved to be the greatest rev.
enue producer in the year and S5.249,-
556.OS was collected from this source
as compared to 81. 740,641.96 in 1885, an
increase of S509, 0e4.l2. The 1886 gas
tax total was the highest ever recorded
in Montana.
While the gas tax jumped to new
HEIGHTS, gasoline license tax refunds
showed a substantial reduction. During
1886 there were 1.l30 claims for STAT
1925 approved as against 32,327
claims for s917.312.19 in the previous
year. a decrease of 1877 claims and
Sl42, 593. "a.
Due to the fact that the gasoline re-
fund books are not closed until the last
day of December. the figures for 1886
are based on approximations for the
last seven DAYS, the report of the board
of equalization set forth.
While the gas tax led the list as a
revenue producer, beer was next high
in 1886 with a total of 5O7.140.65, a
decrease. however. of S60,768.53 over
1885. This decrease largely was &C
counted for by December receipts,
which amounted to only $3.50 as
compared with 500 ,028.86 for the same
month in 1885.

above six feet with or minus stockings.
DiMaggio was barely five feet and
looked a small boy alongside the Ka-
fora man mountain.
Frank and Nick were warblers. What
they couldn't do to a ballad wasn't
worth yodeling. At eventide, followed
by a few fellow players, Frank and
Nick would saunter in on thirst en-
poriums, singing as they hit the swing
ing doors. At each place visited there
would be a song or two, hoist a beer or
two, not only for the singers two, but
for their ball playing pals.
When the team was travelling, Ka-
fora and DiMaggio would put on a
singing bee to the delight of fellow
train passengers.
K.afora is running a bowling alley

grand season in the regular league
campaign with the Yankees.

Nick was stationed in left. These two
speedy lads put on a head-on collision
n day, to provide a little color to an
otherwise drab game. A ball was hit to
left center. Both outfielders tore after
it. 1t looked like a triple or homer. 1t
was both Doc and Nick, almost break
ing blood vessels trying to get the ball,
who collided. Tremblay spun around in
the air, while Nick was knocked to the
ground. The ball avoided the collision.
The runner scampered around the
paths while two outfielders lay prone
or the ground, groggy from the impact
of their own speed.
Teammates had shouted take it.
Wop;;" some yelled, take it, Doc" Both
were under the impression that the
signals shouted were their own.
To prevent similar collisions, Nick
proposed that the signals for the field
ers on balls hit between the two posi-
tons be changed to "Frenchy" for
