Dix!es OF the North End coached by
Billy MCGEE.
Joe Balosky of the West Sides is
assisting Jimmy Lee to produce a
strong wildcat combine. Joe seems
to be very interested in the noval to
be written by TEX" I wonder
why.-Stop laughing, swift, you too.
Moe Buell., captain Of last years
Lesvenworth reserve team, is at his
best this season. Moe Is rangy
lad with a perfect eye. Moe may
play with the Tech combine this
year. If not, it will be quite loss
for the Techmen and a gain for the
Spartans. Ben Alderman, a new
Spartan fan. is out to help the club
in basketball and social affairs. =
That's the way, Ben.
The oldtimer, John Regain. the
onetime Spartan spark plug, has q
Ford, or coffee pot on wheels, as We
told you last week. John Is sure
thankful to Mother Nature for her
great supply Of water. The reason
being SO greatful is because after
John travels five miles he has to
pull over near a dam and throw
water on the brakes and he also has
a camel radiator that takes just as
much water a 81 camel. - Why don't
you invest in a few sails, John? -
Pleasant motoring
Harry Liebeck. the boy who can
travel through Platts Mills with his
eyes shut is looking forward to be
a threat with the Spartans this year.
He starred with the Second Cong
Knights last season. Harry claims
that what can be done once can be
done again.
Al Julie" Regan, the nucleus OF
the Spartans back court men, is
confined at his home treating a
sore finger resulting from too much
power behind carpet buster he
swings for the neighbors. julie
received small sum, but by no
means does he spend 1t foolishly
He intends TO enter the fame Uni
versity OF o. U. T. with Tex and
Danny, when he graduates from
Wildly. - That's the way "Juile" at
least you're going down swinging
It's J.R. and J.R.
It's TIC. and A.C.

Nv The AP Feature Service

BOSTON, Aug. 3. - The nome
run hitters have cooled off this sea-
son and baseball men can't explain
why.
A year ago Hank Greenberg of
the Detroiters was banging the ball
over fences at disturbing clip and
there was talk that George Her
man Ruth's prodigious poking re-
cord of 60 homers would be shat
tered.
Hankus- Pankus came closer than
any clouter has come in many a
year but he struck famine stretch
in the last fortnight of the cam
paign and wound up with So round
trippers.
Jimmy The Foxx was also a-slug-
ging the agate, pressing closely on
Hanks shirt tails. and over in the
National League wal Goodman was
going strong.
But this year they've all cooled
off.
Their slow pace isn't causing the
Babe any worry as he slugs golf
balls down the fairways and spends
his evenings smoking stogies and
clipping coupons.
AS the major league race moved
into the last week of the July lap
Foxx was out front in the home
run derby with 49, Greenberg was
belt behind. Ted Williams of the
Red Sox had 16. And, in the Ma
tional loop, Johnny Mize of the
Cardinals had 10 and Mel OFT OF
the Giants 16.
At this rate the home run cham
pions of the year won't have many
more than 80. 1t is doubtful that
any of them can break Babes
mark.
This time last year both Green
berg and Foxx had around 80 four
basers. And Goodman boasted some
Is.
Joe DiMaggio, who is hitting the
ball for bigger average than he
has ever owned before, isn't hit
ting homers at anywhere near his
usual pace.
No one can explain it. Maybe
this just isn't home-run year.
Perhaps home run years run in cy-
cles

DOUGLAS
NEWS
DISCOUNT OF FIVE PERCENT
is AVAILABLE TO TAXPAYERS

Douglas City Council at spec
ial meeting held after adjournment
of the Board of Equalization last
night decided to allow property
owners the usual five percent dis
count this year again for prompt
payment of their taxes, the full
rate allowed by law of 20 mills on
the dollar was made the rate
charged. If all taxes be discounted
the saving to those affected will
amount to about 1920, and while
the city needs all the money it can
get, Mayor Kilburn and Council
men felt that the five percent re-
duction would be justified. Octo-
Der II was set as the final dis
count date and after that date
property owners will not only lose
the rebate but will have to pay a
penalty of 10 percent.
The Board of Equalization con-
cluded its labors by o'clock last
night with only two or three dis
senters having come before it dur
ing the entire session. No reduc-
ton was made in any assessment
while a minimum assessment of
500 was made against each male
resident not otherwise on the tax
roll About SO names were thus
included among those who regu-
larly have borne the various num-
cipal expenses.

ALASKA QUEENS
HEADING SOUTH
TO CALIFORNIA
Miss Fairbanks Coming by
Plane 10 Juneau-Miss
Alaska on Steamer

There's a queen coming. In fact,
two queens, and they're going to
boost Alaska through the States.
Miss Fairbanks (comely Jane
Gordon, daughter of Representative
Frank s. Gordon, Interior mer-
chant) is a passenger aboard the
Pacific Alaska Always plane ar
irving in Juneau this afternoon.
The other queen is Miss Alaska,
blonde and attractive Irene Reen-
strom of Seward, arriving here, it
is believed, aboard the southbound
steamer Mt. Mckinley tomorrow
night.
According to advices from Fair
banks this morning, large dele
cation of friends and general Fair
banks boosters were at the Golden
Heart airport to bid adieu to Miss
Gordon when she boarded the
Electra this morning for Juneau.
The two queens will join forces
here and invade Seattle on their
way to the Sourdough Information
al Reunion at Oakland, Cal, Aug
ust II, then take over at the San
Francisco Exposition.
And like true Alaskan queens
should do in this day and age, the
two lasses will go by plane from
Seattle to California.

Dizzy'sArI1l
Examined;
NOT So Bad

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The Chica-
go Cubs physician, DR.. John Davis,
studied new X-ray pictures of Dizzy
Deans troublesome pitching arm
and decided that nothing is serious
ly wrong.
DR.. Davis said there we're some
pulled tissues in the shoulder
muscles but the injury need not
keep him from working.
Dir will be back in uniform to-
day when the Cubs resume their
series with the Philadelphia Phil
lies.
Dean pitched three innings against
the Phillies Tuesday and complained
to manager Hartnett that his arm
panied him worse than at any time
this year. 1t was feared that he
might be suffering a recurrence of
the injury that has kept him on
the sidelines
The report from the physician
said that if all goes well the tissues
will heal rapidly and he can re-
sumo his place on the mound.

new AERATOR
Is COMPLETED
Coke-Type System Placed in
Use at Municipal Water
Works Monday
Use of New System Eventually
Win Result in Better
Tasting Water

Likelihood that use of a new aer-
ating system at the municipal water
works eventually will result in bet
ter tasting water was predicted this
week by Superintendent John w.
Swisher.
Construction of the new coke type
aerator was completed at the re-
servoir Monday afternoon to the ex-
tent that water could be run thru
the new system. 1t is likely that
few minor adjustments may be
made, after which the entire aerator
will be enclosed with a fine mesh
screen.
In the new aerating procedure the
water is sprayed into the air and
in falling runs thru three coke filled
trays. Much of the sulphur and
lime content of the water is expect
ed to adhere to the coke, thereby
resulting in an improved supply for
the town, Swisher pointed out.
New Aerator More Compact
Buttons new aerator is much
more compact than that formerly
used, which will simplify enclosing
it with fine mesh screen to keep
out flies and dirt.
1t is felt, however, that protection
from wrigglers, such as found this
spring, will be eliminated by the
new system, without the need Of the
screen, because the water is contin-
uously in motion and flies would be
prevented from laying eggs.
Construction of the new aerator
was started last week Immediately
after it had been recommended by
the state board of health. Sugges-
tions of the board will be entirely
complied with as soon as reservoirs
are cleaned and the elevated tank
| is screened.

TOWN LEASES
BUCKEYE LAKE
Floats Will be Taken From
Quarry this Week; Repairs
Start at Once
Maynard Coon Named Manager
OF New Municipal Swim
ing Center

Buckeye Lake was leased this week
by the Bluffton town council from the
Central Ohio Light and Power COM
pany and work will be started at once
in reconditioning facilities of the
swimming center for the coming seas
on.
The two floating beaches will be re-
moved from the quarry the latter
part of this week, and following ex-
animation they viii either be repaired
or replaced.
Contract for removal of the floats
was given to Albert Garmatter at a
cost not to exceed Sc. Weight of the
two has been estimated at 30 tons.
and Garmatter said it likely will take
crew of IL about two days to re-
move them from the quarry, using
heavy block and tackle.
In completing plans for the sum-
mer, the council named Maynard Coon
manager of the swimming center,
pending acceptance of terms. Under
the proposed setup income from the
sale of swimming tickets will be shar-
ed by the town and manager ON a
$3.50 basis.
Proceeds from concessions and the
rental of suits and baskets will go to
the manager, but he will be respon-
sible for the stocking of these items.
Cost of tickets will be determined
later, and will depend largely on the
expense entailed in repairing equip
ment. Proceeds of a community auc-
ton sponsored by the Lions club ag-
gregating about $400, will be turned
over to the town to defray a portion
of repair expenses.
Lease for the swimming center was
signed by the council following re-
ceipt of liability insurance policy
protecting the town against mishaps.
The policy covers $4,000 liability
for one person and $4,000 for one
accident. 1t cost the town $1O0. In
surance as required under terms of
the lease has been taken out on the
bathhouse in the amount of $1,000 at
cost of $24.20.
