"0ne Man Gang Is
 All Sci
Mike Rybd Appears Sure Shot 10 Slick with Red
 Sox Pitching Staff

SARASOTA, Fla, March 19. - Mike Ryba, baseball's "one-man gang" appears a sure shot to stick with the Boston Red SoX' S none -too-robust pitching staff.
 After a decade and a half in the game, Ryba was good enough to win 24 games for Rochester to lead the International League and to be voted the loops most vala- able player. However, that's noth- ing new to Mike. He'd won most valuable awards four times previ- ously.
 He has almost perfect control and the Red Sox nabbed him for use as relief man and as an oc- casional player. Being signed by Boston made Ryba an escapee from the St. Louis Cardinal chain gang which had had him tied for Is years.
 Ryba has played all over the country and when he hit camp here only one of the 38 Red Sox players-Lou Finney-had to be introduced Mike had played with or against all the others some where along the baseball route.
 Man Gang"
 He's known as the "one-man gang" because he can and has played every position. In one game he pitched three innings played first base another three and then caught the final three Another day he pitched and won the first half of double-header and caught the nightcap.
 Mike is no spring chicken. He says he is 35 but looks bit older He's black-haired dark and rugged Once when he was managing Springfield, Mo, for the Cardin- als, Mike was also business mana ger, responsible for handling of baggage, bus driver, general util- ity player and occasional pitcher.
 He was charged with training young Cardinal pitchers. He'd do his duty by the Cards until Springfield dropped too many games, then he'd have to do his duty by Springfield fans and go in and pitch some wins.
 Two of the youngsters Ryba is battling for jobs on the Red Sox staff now are kids who pitched under him when he was Spring field manager = Oscar Judd and Dick Newsome. And Ryba's debut into pro ball was at Johnstown Pa., the year Joe Cronin was play ing his first season there.
 Auspici0us Debut
 Dominic Ryba, called Mike and pronounced Ree-ba, made an aus picious debut with the Cardinals back in 1928 He beaned the star pitcher, Grover Cleveland Alex ander, and gave him a black eye But he stayed on. Mikes first pitching ciore with a big league team was with the Cards against Philadelphia and his foe was Old Nose Grove.

 Gordon declared the same argu- ments would be raised against the bill two years hence and that if the Territory was ever going to have an income tax, it should begin now.
 The fish people don't want it., the steamship companies don't want it, but you go to the great mass Of the people and they're in favor of it."
 Rep. Jesse Lander declared that: If ever this country departs from it's democratic form of government and takes up some other, it will be because we failed to tax ourselves adequately and intelligently in time Of need to maintain our free institu- tions.r
 Called Reasonable
 But the longest and strongest argument in favor of passage of the bill was made by Rep. Allen Shat tuck of Juneau who spoke of 'incon- sistencies and irregularities in the faulty tax system we have now and declared that "a net income tax is, I think, the most reasonable tax we can put on.'
 He said the present system cant possibly be anything but a hodge podge system
 Quite naturally the Territory has been growing in the last ten years. We can't sit down and remain static We have to move along. am strong ly opposed to raising any more money than is needed to pay for the appro- prlations we have voted at this ses- sion of the Legislature, but we are morally obligated to do that
 S417,252 Needed
 He estimated that even with the additional revenue from the liquor excise tax which was raised 100 per cent and the trap license tax which  was raised 50 per cent, there would still be deficit of $417,252 and that will be added to every time you pass bill calling for an appropriation.
 q can see no valid objection" he said, ito a mild income tax bill and l can't find anyone else who can find one. Practically everybody ad- mits it is the most reasonable tax We could have"
 Some do object, he said, that fu- ture legislatures might raise the rates to a point where they would hecome bndensome, but this is a representative form of government and you've got to trust the people '
 Shattuck said that he believed the most desirable thing would be for a tax commission to be set up to re- port back to a special session of the Legislature in the Fall. The next best thing, he said, would be to pass the income tax bill as is Then we're at least started in the right direct tion"

strikes I ever saw and went back to the bench faster than I'd come up to the plate" he says.
 One Red Sox who is glad Ryba is with him rather than against him is Ted Williams. The last time they met was in Minneapolis a couple of years ago and Ryba famed Ted four straight times.
 Joe Croi1in has a dozen or more young rookie pitchers down here and he hasn't much idea yet just which ones he's going to keep but it certainly looks like Mike will be around. Anyone who could win 24 in the fast International League shouldn't be liability to the Red SoX.

 Shattuck suggested than an as sessor looking into taxes due and not paid could probably save the Territory $100o00 per year, which would pay for the administration Of the income tax act.
