FLASH! 1t is rumored but not
official that the community has
entered a first-rate team in the
Northwest Fiddlestick Tournament
in order to make it four champion
ships instead of three. The grid
iron boys have the football title,
the girls have the softball crown,
and latest of all, the American Gil
ants in a manner unbetold, cop the
Puget Sound League championship
from their old rivals, Pacific Fruit.
The game was one of close COM
petition up to the first of the ninth
when the boys of Pacific Fruit
met their Waterloo. With the score
tied up at Gall, the Giants UNI
leashed a SUGGEST that saw all of
the nine players take their turn at
bat. 1t was in this inning that P.
F. blew up as hit after hit and err
ror after error shattered their de-
Tense.
Six runs across the plate to put
the Giants in the lead which they
held to the end. Davy Williams
ended the side in a Vandermeer
style. Eighteen hits were regist-
cred by the Giants to ten for Paci-
fic Fruit. King and Williams and
Wilson were the batteries for the
Giants while Aries and Rhineford
were the victims of the smuggling
spree of our boys.
The community should be more
than proud of the up-an-coming
generation in the field of sports.
Good craftsmanship, cooperation,
the ability to win with modesty,

l recommend Judge Bell to
the voters of King County, to be
reelected as justice of the
peace. He is considered an able
lawyer amongst the bench and
bar.
In witnessing him preside on
the Police and Justice Court
Bench, handling the many cases
coming before him daily, some
of which are complicated, he
has convinced me that his equal
has not filed for the office he
seeks in this campaign.
No officer, attorney, defend
ant, friend or individual can dis
cuss his or her case with Judge
Bell before the case comes on
for trial; he leaves his mind
clear to give an unbiased deci-
sion when the case comes be-
fore him on the trial of the is
sues.
He is fair and impartial, alb
solutely without racial preju-
dice in cases that come before
him.
He has been able to save the
City and County hundreds of
dollars in the manner in which
he has handled his office.
Voters, let's all of us re-elect
Judge William r. Bell. Send
him back to the Bench.

Roy B. Mlsener states it is the
constitutional right of every citi-
zen to protest against unfair and
unequal taxation. Undoubtedly he
is right. However, it seems in the
past the taxpayers were practical
ly defenseless. Assessors in those
days treated the public as if it
were an enemy and they did not
tell any more than they had to tell.
Misener has not only corrected
the many inequalities of assess
ments, but has been a friend to
the taxpayers in countless days.
His first official act in office
was to demand that the legislature
pass his bill to exempt household
goods from taxation Misener
claims he has made up for this lost
revenue many times by placing on
the tax rolls large industrial stocks
of valuable merchandise, machin-
cry and equipment that had not
been taxed before.
Misener also successfully spon-
sored the bill in legislature which
exempted automobiles from assess
ment. This bill requires that the
owner pay his personal property
tax at the time he purchases his
license. The amount he now pays
is considerably less than under the
old method and yet the actual re-
venue collected by the state is
more. This is because the new
system makes it impossible for any
one to evade taxation by going to
another county to purchase a Ii
cense.
Misener has completed the re-
survey and records for the city of
Seattle and the results are truly
startling. Lands which had pre-
viously been listed on the tax rolls
as waste" or useless have been
discovered to be highly cultivated.
Lands that were listed as logged
off or as "burned~over stumps"
have been revealed to contain val
liable timber stands. In fact, Mis-
ener has discovered and placed on
the tax rolls more than a billion
board feet of timber that was not
previously assessed. His resurvey
has added several hundred square
miles of territory to King County.
Misener says much of this land is
fertile tillable soil and that a good
ly part of it came into being when
Lake Washington was lowered in
1916.
Perhaps the most amazing reve-
lation of his whole program is the
discovery of 10000 buildings in Sc
attic that were never on the tax
rolls. Some of these buildings es-
capped taxation for as long as thir-
ty years; others since the World
War, and thousands of them for
the past ten or twelve years.
Misener states that he has re-as-
sessed Enumclaw, Renton, Kent,
Auburn and is at present working
on Vashon and Mercer Islands.
When he has completed the entire
county he states every taxpayer
will be uniformly and equally as
sessed and that it will no longer be
possible for well-to-do individuals
or corporations to shift their share
of the tax burden to the shoulders
of the taxpayer of average means.
In speaking of his program, Mi
sener reminds us that the Federal
Government has cooperated and
encouraged him in every way in
his effort to prove that, through a
systematic and scientific method of
assessment and by treating all the
taxpayers alike, tax equality can
be realized.

Refusal of Bibber Mccoy to con- tinue wrestling after knee injury and the absence of Hans Steinke, scheduled for the semi-flnal bout, spoiled an otherwise top-notch wrestling show, which was featured by 3O-minute bout in which Tom my Rae of Springfield won a deci- sion from John Podubny, and the latter wound up with one of Referee Jack Fischman's best right-crosses to the chin, after the mailman "took a shot" at the official near the end of the bout.

help me eaten the essence of the south. They showed me Bellingrath Gardens, one of the finest in the world. It was breath-t taking beautiful. even to a sportswriter. They sat me down to fried chicken dinner with all the trimmings. They gave me sip of old, old corn. They showed me cotton fields, pretty girls, and an old wharf where darkies sang and danced.
 These and many other things they showed me. But all along felt as if something were lacking, that they had overlooked something that was even more typical of the south than any of these. What it was I did not know, and I might have still been wondering had I not pulled into a filling station for gasoline.
 The thing most typical Of the south-the very essence of the south is the overwhelming attention and friendliness the motorist is given in a filling station. Had been bro- ther, home from the wars, I could not been greeted more effuSively than I was by these strangers. One inquired tsnderly after my health. One said, where you going?" One said, where you been?" Meanwhile, the less social minded attendants rushed at the gas tank, the oil pump the radiator. the windshieldS, and the tire valves. A colored youngSter burst into the car and started clean ing it out with a whisk broom.
 When my tank was filled and the car Shone like new, all of them gathered around and offered advice on my trip ahead. At least three Of them had relatives who had recent ly gone over the road was to fol- low. and knew every dip, curve, bridge, and detour. Each was care- fully explained.
 When the lateness of the hour finally forced me to take my leave, I could barely stand the parting, and the only thing that bolstered me up was the fact that the next station I stopped in would be the same way.
 If I were a songWriter and wanted to write true southern song, l would forget the banjos and the Mammies, the cotton and the corn, and write lyric something like this:

HORSE PAYS 335 TO 1 AT SANTA ANITA TRACK
Playmay Surprised Owner and JOckey-Swipe
 Won $9l9.6O

Santa Anita Racetrack, Arcadia, Cal, Feb. 5-(UP)-Today at this big green equine athletic plant the mare Playmay munched her oats; her owner, trainer and jockey bit their tingernails; and her swipe boy-who couldn't be identified in the excitement - chewed all the chicken he could eat.
 Playmay, rough-coated bay, is an in-an-outer. She started racing as a high-stepping lilly, but like many 8 human could not keep the pace when she arrived here to com- pete with her betters. She had fal- len so low in the estimation of horsemen yesterday that when she danced to the post the odds board opposite her name read 99-1.
 The mare - she's five years old now, and was packing 112 pounds started from the barrier in 10th po- Sition, just as she had on too many occasions before. At the half of the 6-furlong event she had moved up to fifth. When she forged to third at the three-quarter pole there was no one more surprised than her jockey.
 Down the stretch she thundered. her fuzzy ears sticking low to her head and her big brown eyes squinting straight ahead through a pair of blinkers. She moved up fast, trailed by just a head in the clos ing yards, and finally sneaked past the leader, and under the wire by a nose.
 335 to
 The odds board still read 99-1 as Playmay pranced back to the stew ards stand amid mingled screams and boos, but that was because the tote machine had not been equipped for three figures.
 Playmay had closed at 335.70 to 1.
 For $2 ticket her victory was worth S673.40, $14160 and $1046O, and for $6 combination it was good for $91960.
 These people were among the winners:
 (A) The unidentified swipe, who backed his lady with $6 across the board and was repaid $9196O.
 (B) Frank Williams, a pari-mu- tuel salesman, who punched a ticket on Playmay and then was forced to buy it himself when a customer in- sisted the salesman had made a mistake. He was repaid $673.40.
 co Mrs. Sid Eff, wife of the sport editor of the Los Angeles Herald Express, who was taken to the races by her husband. With a place and show ticket on Playmay, she was repaid $246.20.
 These were among the non- winners:
 (A) Owner Frank turner, Jr., a Midland, Tex, oilman, who didn't back his colors with a dime.
 (B) Trainer Monty Preston, ditto.
 co Jockey Freddie Gribble, ditto.

Apostoli Rated UncrOWned King Of 16O Founders
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 5.-(UP)-Take a telegram to Joe DiMaggio. "Your pal Fred Apostoli licked the day lights out of Glen Lee ill Madison Square Garden last night"
 Broadcast this along Fisherman's s Wharf and all around the North Beach section of San Francisco. "Your native son Apostoli is coming home the uncrowned middleweight champion of the world
 Listen in all San Francisco. "When the black-haired boy you may remember as a bell-hop reaches the Golden Gate put a crown on his head as one of the classiest fighting men in the prize ring today-pound for pound and punch for punch
 And bend an ear you 250 citizens of Edison, Nebraska. There's nothing wrong with your boy Glen Lee. He was just over-matched."
 Apostoli was on a train bound for San Francisco today, worlds middleweight champion in every thing but name. New YorkS last look at him was of a wasp-waisted, bull-shouldered youngster flashing out at crouching, crowding blond wildcat named Glen Lee for 12 sav- age rounds last night in Madison Square Garden.
 With 10,877 spectators looking on ApoStoli raked Lees cement jaw and thick torso with whitening bar rage of blows. The one-time bell hop lacerated Lees lips and nose, drew blood from his noStrilS and staggered and stunned him but couldn't bring him down. A foe less durable and less courageous than Lee would have been knocked out. : In the fifth and eighth rounds ,Apostoli shook up his man with booming hooks. In the eighth a right hook made Lees knees buckle and he toppled forward. His chin hooked on ApoStoli'S shoulder, say ing him from going down. Every time Apostoli ripped in Lee was in trouble, but he gamely held his feet. His rally in the sixth and in the seventh, after tottering to his cor ner, were among the gamest exhibi- tions seen in the Garden in years. 1 At the final bell the crowd stood and paid tribute to two fighting men who had scorned safety tac- tics, science and skill and fought like gladiators out of the past. The decision was not unanimous. The two judges, William Mcfarland and Marty Monroe. gave the decision to Apostoli. but Referee Artie Donovan voted for Lee. The United Press gave Apostoli 2 rounds, Lee and called one-the tenth even.

 TAKES GILBERT
Marshall New Hoop Find at Local School, Stars
 in 34=26 Game

More encouraging than the victory was the impressive exhibition of diminutive Tommy Marshall, sopho- more, who convinced Coach Jake Rieger last night at Wilby gym that he has a sharpshooter to form the nucleus of his club for the next two scholastic campaigns.
 Marshall was inserted into the Leavenworth high lineup in the last quarter last night against Gilbert of Winsted and was instrumental in the Tech taking the lead away from the upstaters and finally win ming out, 34 to 26. The little blonde wiz dropped in three field goals in the eight minutes he played and three other baskets by "Rusty" Me- Namara, Jackie Bannon and "Gooch" Insogna were the result of his bounding passes.
