TAUGHT BY LAPCHICK

chick Ahearn said. Joe was
great ball handler and
digger In his playing days with
the Celtics.-Jerry Bushr Akron
Firestone's big center and my
cousin, has q similar hold, but
his hands are bigger than mine
and it's not as noticeable.
II remember practicing that
hold when I was so small |
couldn't do IL without first
splitting on my arm to make the
ball stick. I tried IL by the
hour at home until my mother
nearly threw me out of the
house for hitting the furniture
and upsetting lamps" Jack
laughed.
"Now that I've learned how,
1t comes In handy. You can fake
much more realistically on
passes with the ball In one hand,
although I never take chances
with IL. use IL mostly when
keeping the ball away from my
guard"
Ahearn thinks the Nationa
League is a bit better than the
+AiffcrfcdH loop in The East. In ms
games the first part of this season
with the Jewels, he learned tc
dislike the rough play practicec
by all the teams. There's more
running in the midwestern style
he said, but the play. usually. is
much cleaner and rules are more
strict.

For Old Court Refunds

The District government yesterday
received a check for $50 900 from
Judge George c. Aukam of NUM-
cipal Court, representing old re-
funds once due persons filing cases
in the court which were not claimed
during the statutory period.
The fact that there was such a
sum came to the attention of the
Commissioners recently as result
of a routine audit of all District ac-
counts
A question about the transmission
of the sum to the District Tax
Collector had been raised three
years ago, but no agreement was
reached with the court as to final
disposition of the sum.
Until four years ago, when a
person filed civil suit in Municipal
Court involving more than $500, he
had to post a filing fee of So If
the sum involved in the suit was
less than $500, a deposit of s160
was required. If the actual court
costs proved less than these de-
poSits, the balance was to be re-
turned to the depositor, if he
claimed it within three years.

| Wins Fight on
| II. S. ToxCIoim
By the Associated Press.


E P. (Slipl Madigan, we'll known
as former football coach of ST. Mary's
College, California. yesterday won his
fight in the Board of Tax Appeals
against an Internal Revenue Bureau
claim that he owed $1,038 income
taxes for 1886.
The case centered about St. Mary'S
custom of making post-Season pay
ment to Mr. Madigan of 10 per cent
of its share of football receipts, in
addition to his $1,000 salary.
The board ruled that the bureau
had erred in levying 1886 income
taxes on remuneration Mr.. Madi-
gan had not realized until March
of the following year.
The board found that after the
Fordham-St. Mary's game at New
York City October "A. 1886, Ford
ham sent the ST. Mary's College
Athletic Association q check for
s38 1924. The president of st. Mary's
indorsed the check to Mr.. Madigan,
the board continued, with the under
standing that he take $21 $50 due
him for 1884 and 1885 and wholly
balanced in trusts until the account
ing could be completed for the 1886
season
Mr.. Madigan deposited the check
and left the amount untouched, the
board found, until after the final
accounting with st. Mary's, in
March. 1887, which showed he had
to return St. Mary's 81 go.
