sports for the sake of sports, and
hope we can keep it on that basis "

Capitals Whip Lions
In Furious Hockey
Battle by 8 10 4
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Victims of brace of furious scor-
ing streaks the Washington Hockey
Lions dove deeper into third place
in the Eastern Division of the
American Hockey League last night
as they dropped an 8-4 decision
to the Indianapolis Capitals. The
near slaughter, second worst lick
ing of the year for the Lions, was
witnessed by 4,O51 persons, gathered
at Uline's Arena hopeful of wa CHI
ing the rejuvenated local hockey
heroes stretch their recent victor
ious streak.
Instead they saw mixture Of
fast and furious hockey, with the
Lions on the receiving end of most
of the exchanges, an unscheduled
fight almost as good as any staged
by Goldie Ahearn, a couple Of fast
scoring exchanges, and local rec
ord for goal scoring.
Score Five Goals in Hurry.
Within less than two minutes in
the fast second period the two
teams scored five goals, and Goalie
Frankie Ceryance looked as if his
head was mounted on swivel as
he parried indianapolis forays,
sometimes successfully.
At the end of this period the
Capitals led 70 l. They added four
more in the final period when the
Washington cause plainly was hope
less. But the Lions kept driving
away, hoping for sudden scoring
streak that might gain them a tie,
banging in three goals in the final
chukker against four for the visitors.
Game Opens Mildly.
The game was fast and furious,
starting mildly enough in a score
less first period. Then within 113
seconds the teams came out of a
slugging, wild body checking melee
to score S goals. II seemed they
could turn on goal whenever they
wished as four of the counters were
marked up in IT seconds.

ALASKA IS OVER TOP
 TW0(A5E5
Shows Percentage of h. crease ;n Income Taxes,
 Employment Taxes

TACOMA, Wash, Sept 1,-Among all 64 collection districts in the States and Territories, the district of Washington and Alaska rates sixth in percentage of increase in income tax collections from indi- viduals for the fiscal year just closed, Collector Clark Squire an nounced at his headquarters here Nearly $45,OO0,0OO was collected from individuals in this district during the fiscal year 1922, ending June 30. The actual increase was from $12,O72, ,2O7.28 in 1941 to $44,- 937 ,036.95 in 1922 This amounts to 272.2 per cent, which is more than twice the national average.
 Seattle Is Sixth
 Only five districts showed a higher percentage increaSe-Kansas Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota and Idaho-and their com bined collections totaled only $45,- 100000, barely exceeding those of the district of Washington alone. These figures are taken from com- pilations just released by Conmis- sioner of Internal Revenue Guy T. Helvering.
 Individual income tax collections in this district have jumped 551.5 per cent in the last two years from $6,897 ,000 in 1940 to nearly $45 100000 in 1922
 Another Increase
 This district rates sixth also in percentage of increase in corpora tion and individual income taxes combined during the last year That increase is 1904 per cent Alaska alone showed an increase of 231.8 per cent. The national aver age was but 93.7 per cent.
 With respect to percentage in employment taxes, the district of Washington and Alaska rates sev- enth. Its percentage is 41.8 as compared with the national average of 28.
 This districts internal revenue collections of all kinds of increased 1927 per cent, while the national average was but 7704 per cent. Only seven other districts had a higher percentage. Total collec- tions for Washington and Alaska in each of the last three years have been 32, 55 and 130 millions, respectively.
 Income Taxes
 The tremendous increases in in dividual income taxes and employ ment taxes are indicative of the vast construction work and indus trial expansion in this area, Squire pointed out.
 Particular attention was called to the fact that internal revenue col lections for the last fiscal year in Alaska totaled $4,015,53493, which is more than half the sum Russia received from the United States for the territory. The increase over the preceding years collections was 168 per cent, second only to South Carolina's percentage increase.
 Total internal revenue collections for the nation increased nearly six billions-from $7,37O,0OOOOO to $13,- O48,0OO,000s The total collected in fiscal year 1940' was but $5,34O ,00O,- GOO.
