U. 5. INCOME
OF I BILLIONS
seen FOR YEAR
Rising TaxRevenue
To Aid Budget
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
Copyright, 1897. by International
News Service)

Confidential estimates of UMPIRE
cedented Government income of
possibly $1,000, 100000 during the
current fiscal year will be laid
before President Roosevelt by
Treasury and Congressional ex-
perts.
The ShaSp upward revision in es-
Inmates of receipts, based upon
enormous tax collections in many
classes, today gave the Admins
tration new hope of bringing the
budget near balance.
DEPENDENT ON TRADE
The estimates admittedly are
based upon continuation of brisk
business. as forecast by Secretary
of Commerce Roper, and would
be dashed by a recession.
After . study of the situation,
an authoritative source revealed
today, the administration experts
place the receipts for the year end
ing June 80, 1888, at from $1,000
O0c, 900 to $7,30O,OOO,00O with the
latter figure to be reached if bust
ness holds up.
ECONOMY STRESSED
The budget, on paper, still would
be $1,000, 100000 out of balance at
the end of the fiscal year but a
vigorous economy drive is counted
on to reduce the deficit.
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected, in the
revised budget he plans to make
public in the Eear future, to re-
store the original estimates of tax
collections and other receipts.

FAIR AND COOL
Fair and cool weather prevailed
for the first game at the Polo
Grounds. Overnight the mercury
nosedived but not sufficiently to
be annoying to either players or
spectators.
For two straight games, the
Giants have been beaten down
and back by the New York Yam
KEGS, pretty much the same way
and by exactly the same score.
81. The latter knocked out the
Giant lefthanders, .Hubbell and
Melton. They've done pretty
much as they pleased, with the
end far from sight yet.
The end, with the Yanks, as a
matter of fact. is never yet. That's
what happened to Hubbell in the
first game. He felt he couldn't
relax with any hitter; therefore,
he had something on every ball
he pitched. Yesterday Melton did
much the same thing for four in
nings, then he, too, succumbed be-
for the end.
The Yanks simply battered his
brains out with four straight hits
in the fifth. They may make it
three straight today. But even if
they don't, the series is safe for
the American League. The point
IL that Hubbell was and is the
only Giant pitcher who could have
come back to win two straight.

Today, the Giant pitching effort
will be made by Hal Schumacher.
If he stops the YankS, he may
even shut them out. If he's on
the bad side, they'll likely estab-
lish an all-time high in home runs
for the World Series.
