DC. Tax Return!
Due Tomorrow
AT Midnight
Persons 'DomiciIed'
Here Since Dec. 81
Must File Reports

Persons "domiciled" in the Dis
trict last December 81 have until
midnight tomorrow to have their
1945 District income tax returns and
payments in the mail.
"Domicile" here means legal resi-
dence in the District, which differs
from actual residence. Voting
privileges or tax payments in other
States have been held to establish
legal residence in those States al
though the person paying actually
lives in Washington.
Tax Collector Guy Pearson said
his collection window at the District
Building will be open from 8:45 am
to 3:45 pm. tomorrow but the IN
come tax section of the Assessor s
office said it would be open until
4:45 pm. to help taxpayers in the
preparation of their returns. Pen
atty for late filing is Is per cent OF
the tax due. Penalty for delinquent
tax payment is l per cent a month
Returns Pour in by Mail.
During the last week, Mr.. Pear
son estimated, between 5000 and
5000 persons daily sent in their
returns by mail. About 20 bags of
mail have accumulated in his office
which won't be opened until to-
morrow, he indicated.
Yesterday several hundred per-
sons came to the District Building
only to find it closed.
In l945, the income tax produced
$S,900,000 for the city, according to
testimony by Assessor Edward A
Dent to a House appropriations
subcommittee recently. OF this, So
100000 was from personal income
and s5.4o0,000 from corporate in
come tax.
Although District officials esti-
mated there are more than $50 900
persons gainfully employed in the
city, only 85,755 persons paid the
local income tax in 1945-a falling
OF from the two previous years
when the number slightly exceeded
$4,000. Another 10000 filed returns
out did not have to pay any tax.
Way To Add To Rolls.
Mr.. Dent has expressed the opin-
ion that If the domicile clause were
changed to residence 100, 900 returns
would be added to the amount of
tax increased by $500, 600.
II tax also was added on non.
residents who earn their income in
the city, another $4,000 returns
would be produced with a further
revenue increase of $750,000.
Mr.. Pearson Is aware that many
persons who should file a return
have not done so. His office is try
Ing to catch up with the dodgers as
rapidly as possible. The assessor.
ne said, has access to Federal in
come tax returns filed by District
residents, and these are checked to
determine If the same persons have
filed income levy returns at the
District Building.
The Tax Collectors mail also in
,ludes many complaints from in
come taxpayers that the man or the
girl sitting next to them at the
office is in the same position as the
complainant and pay no tax. Often
these massives contain the name
and address of the would-be dodger.
Other letters plead hard luck and
no funds as basis for nonpayment.

Look-'Red Sox
 To Win Pennont'

"The Boston Red Sox have the American Leagues best-balanced team and should win the pernant in a close race" according to the "1946 World Series Preview" in the Look Magazine released today. With pitchers Hughson, Ferris and Harris, hitter Ted Williams and snappy infield combination in Doerr and Pesky. the Red Sox, 1945 seventh place team, will beat out the Tigers. The Detroit Club. with heavy hitter Greenberg spporting sound pitch- ing staff, will make tight race, of it, forecasts Look.
 The 1946 final standings in the American League are crystal-balled as follows: Red Sox, Tigers, In dians, Senators, White Sox, Browns and Athletics.
 In the National League the Cards, second in 1945, get the nod for top honors on the strength of exper- fenced winning pitchers like Beazley, shortstop Marty Marion, and out fielders Slaughter, Moore and Mu- sial. The Dodgers are slated for sec ond place, followed by the Cubs. Pirates, Braves, Giants, Reds and Phillies.

kids who give them the most trou- ble.
 Veterans Fooled
 The star pitcher, for instance, has a psychological advantage over the hitters who knew him when he had 1t. Pitching and batting is 8 game in which the hitter tries to outguess the thrower. The veterans thus look for the stuff the pitcher had in the old days-and are fooled when it doesn't show up.
 For instance, when Dizzy Dean was relegated to the Texas league after being the best in the majors he won four of his first five starts strictly on his reputation. Ole Dig was giving them a hoist of the leg, sweeping motion and bit of a prayer. It worked against the guys who knew him when. But with the kids 1t was a. different story.
 "1'd shudder every time one of those youngsters came to the plate, :" Dig recalled. Big strong kids, they were, and they'd just take toehold and cut loose. They had to be shown and it was too tough"
 When Dig returned to Chicago he beat Brooklyn handily at Ebbets Field with this same routine. He was stepping back, pitching without windup or with just half wind up, committing semi-balks and pulling every trick in the book. The Dodger veterans fell for 1t because they didn't know what to expect.
 But not a rookie named Pete Reiser. He made four hits off DH, who to Pistol Pete was just fellow, in on the last bus from Tulsa.
 Carl Hubbell, towerd the end of his career, was successful during the first half of the season princi- pally because the veterans were batting against him from memory. They were looking for something the meal ticket didn't have. More recently, the fiim-flam has been worked by Van Lingle (the old) Mungo and others who no longer had 8 rubber hose hanging at their side.
 This early in the year. even be- fore the season has started, it may be simply that Teller is taking no chances with his arm and is bring ing it along slowly. But on the other hand, Ott may be right and the farm boy from Van Meter, Iowa, may have lost lot of steam.
 The odds are, however, that 1t will be the rockies who will really find out.

New York, April 13 = (UP)- whether Bob Teller, Cleveland's speedball pitcher, has as much smoke as in pre-war days is a moot point today, but baseball men opine that if rapid Robert is to catch his Jumps this season it will be from the rookie batters.
 Manager Mel Ott of the New York Giants, after facing Feller's fast one in two training games, was the most recent to raise the question as to the presence or absence Of Bobby's high, hard one.
 "Feller hasn't shown anything like his pre-war speed" Ott insisted. His curve breaks as sharply but 1t definitely isn't as fast"
 There was good foundation for the remarks, considering that the Giants had belted Bobby for 10 hits in seven innings the first time and on the next occasion got to him for 10 hits in nine frames, including a homer and five doubles. But once man starts to slip-unless Teller hasn't yet opened up-its the new

 MT. Jones American league unn- pire on second base a bit ruffled by the continually milling of kids into left field while the game was going on yelled at a Hartford cop: that's disgrace to the city of Hartford. You'll never be made a sergeant if I can help it." Of course l,e was kidding a bit, but the kids in center and left field were poorly handled; but 1t may be the fault of the Hartford managemnt, who sold 7,7I3 tickts for the game and had a lot less seats than that for the purchasers. The press box, too, was anything but adequate, but thereU be some big changes made, since Louis 'Perini, owner of the Braves bought the Bulkeley Stadi- am from the Savitt brothers, and will spend $25, 1000 or more to fix up the park; according to report.
 Dom DiMaggio, the little pro-
 lessor" of the Boston AL entry, made a terrible throw, intended for the plate, the ball coming from centerfield and landing about halfway between home plate and first base; but Dom later made the fielding gem of the day with 8 "shoe-string' catch of hard drive that was a sure double, maybe a triple if it got by him as he came in to catch not trap the ball, with a Brave runner on base at the time.
 Rudy York at first base. obvious 1y on the fat side, physically, let two grounders go by him, just inside the base line; because he just couldn't get to the ball as it sped by into right field.

NeitherC CIub Nor Player Con Cancel
By JERRY HANNIFIN United Press Sports Writer

Mexico City, April 13.-(UP- Of- ganized baseball in the United States was back on uneasy sreet' today, fearful of new and more tell- ing losses after Mickey Owen, who started for the Mexican League and then stopped, finally made up his mind and came to Mexico
 I'm here to play baseball,' +be former Brooklyn Dodger catcf1er said last night as he stepepd from plane that brought him and Al fonso Pasquel, one of the five broth- CTS who run Mexican baseball, from San Antonio Texas.
 "Ill play under terms of the original contract" he told newsmen. T know I'm gong to be paid, and I'm going to stay here long tilne.'
 The original contract called for $l5,000 per year for five years, with bonus of $12,50O for signing. The contract does not allow the club to terminate it at will, as do the contracts offered by North Ameri- can clubs. Nor is the player al- lowed to cancel at will.
 Jorge Pasquel, president of the league, had threatened to sue owen when Owen refused to report last week, and lawyers who saw photo- static copies of the contract Owen had signed admitted that Pasquel might win his case.
 Confused
 Owen said that when he left San Antonio last week he and his wife were confused by the case of Vern Stephens of the St. Louis Browns, who played in Mexico and then came back to St. Louis, and by the pressure" of friends, who pre- dicted dire things.
 So MT. and Mrs. owen drove to Louisiana, discussed the matter, and then called the Pasquels. Alfonso met them at Houston Wednesday, took them to his home at Nuevo Laredo, Mex, yesterday, and there gave them plenty of assurance" that the league wouldn't fold up, and that owen would be paid
 Owen added that he also was in- fluenced by the apparent dislnter- est shown in him by the Dodgers. When Owen first headed for Mex ico Dodger President Branch Rickey still talked bitterly of a trade, and the catcher said that when he telephoned Hickey the owner ordered" him to return.
 T probably would have gone to see Hickey if l hadn't read in the papers that he said I absolutely would not play with the Dodgers Owen explained. T guess he want ed to use me as an example"
 That Owen would be used as an example seemed certain.
 But it appeared that he would be an example in favor of the Mexican league instead of against | it.
 Van Mungo. disgruntled with the New York Giants and suspended by them for breaking training, said he was dickering with the Pasquels. Owen said he knew of other play CTS who would come if they could ''get a good deal"
 The Pasquels yesterday deposited another $50,000 with U. s. bankers for use by his agents in securing | talent.
 That seemed to be enough for many good deals.

Williams Stars
 AqoinSt Braves

Boston, April 43-(UP)-Theodore (Ted) Williams and eight other members of the Red SoX meet the Boston Braves for the second game of three-game intra-city series at frosty Fenway Park today and the betting was that homers would be 8 dime a dozen.
 Williams and his lusty bat proved the margin of victory in the opener yesterday as the gangling outfielder flied out two circuit clouts and a single in four innings to bring in seven runs as the Sox Smacked the Braves 11-5.
 The chilly afternoon turned into a Williams day as the amazing youth, returning after three years in the Naval Aviation service, whaled out a 315-foot home run in the opening inning, singled in the third then poled another homer in the fourth.
 The first homer accounted for two runs, the single for one and the second home run with the bases loaded for four.
 Pitcher Ed Wright was the goat for Williams first homer and single before 8.838 fans. He was relieved by Elmer Singleton who was the victim for the slugging outfielder's second home run.
 By the fourth inning the score was Red Sox 9, Braves 3, and manager Joe Cronin decided to give his American League regulars the rest of the day off so Williams headed for the showers.

By JOHN A. cLUNEY

With . bit more control, acquired on and after next Tuesday, April 16, when the big leagues get under way for the greatest probable sea- son Of baseball of recent years, the Boston Braves righthander Johnny Sain is going to be bad medicine for National League hitters, on the basis of wha he showed Thursday in Harford against Ted Williams and his Boston Red Sox mates. For eight innings, the best Williams, Pesky, Doerr, Dom DiMaggio, George Metkovich, and Rudy York could carve out of the smooth right- handlers delivery was three. hits and you should have heard the roar of 5000 witnesses when Wil- Hams, first time up pulled Casey at the bat" and STRUCK OUT.
 Despite chilly weather, made
 anti-baseball by fairly sharp
 wind, Sain showed a nice fast
 ball, plenty of sharp breaking
 curves and an admirable change
 of pace; but his work was marred
