Muskegon's Lane
Hits 5 Home Runs
In Regular Game

Dick Lane, centerfielder OF
the Muskegon Clippers of the
Class A Central Baseball Lea
que performed an amazing and
unparalleled feat recently when
he clouted five home runs IN a
regular league game against
Fort Wayne.
Lanes performance is all the
more remarkable because he
equaled his 1947 output in that
one game this year,
Lane is a Detroit youth. Three
of his barrier blows were made
off Walter Boom Boom" Beck,
former big league hurler and
manager of Fort Wayne.
Last year Lane played with
Greenville in the Cotton States
league and batted 1923 while
slugging five home runs. He had
slammed only two round-trip-
pers this season, prior to his dra-
matte feat July 3.
Lane batted in total of 10
runs; he hit for 81 total bases.
Signed by Memphis in l945,
Lane was sent to Greensboro of
the Carolina league, where he
played only 26 games before 60
ing into the navy.

Annual Local 12 Baseball Game Tonight
Local IL Girls Win So jfbaH Championship
Bretschneider
Aids With Bat

The Local IL Girls won the
Northwestern Ohio District
Softball Championship, at
Mccarthy Stadium, Wednes-
day night, when they defeat
ed the Defiance Merchants for
their second victory in the dis
trict playoffs.
BY virtue of their two victor
les in the Toledo title playoffs,
the Local IL Girls will play in
the finals for the State cham
pionship tonight, in Springfield,
Ohio. The state finals will be a
two-round elimination affair.
In the first game of the tourn-
ament, Local IL Girls trounced
the Defiance Automatics by the
score of 6 to l before a large
crowd of softball fans. In this
game, Edna Bretschneider, di-
minutive Union shortstop, drove
a mighty home run with the
bases loaded. The whole Local
IL team played championship
ball, hitting well, and taking ad
vantage of any breaks of the
---
game.
Marty Farmer, who is classed
by many softball fans as the
best female pitcher in Toledo,
did an outstanding job on the
mound for Local IL in both
games. The able UAW pitcher
will get the acid test at Spring
field against the best softball
players in Ohio. Farmers sup
porters are confident she will
come through with victories.
In the final game, Wednesday
night, the Local IL Girls scored
two runs in the first inning. In
the third, the Defiance Mer-
chants put on rally and went
into the lead, 3 to 2. Then in the
fifth inning, both teams scored
two more and Local IL trailed
by one run. Defiance Merchants
went scoreless for the rest of
the game as Local IL scored
three runs in the last of the
sixth on successive extra base
hits by Edna Bretschneider,
Betty Vordeburg, Tillie Tulley,
and Marty Farmer. Shortstop
Bretschneider led the batting
with four hits, including two
doubles.

In order to equal the yield of the
sales tax, Gen. McCoach continued,
the real estate tax rate would have
to be jumped to So from the present
50 level. In rejecting this, he said
studies by the District assessor show
relatively high tax on District
properties as against comparable
properties in nearby Maryland and
Virginia.
ANY increase in real property
taxes" he said, would widen the
differential now existing and provide
very real incentives for further de-
Capitalization, which all thinking
people in the District are striving
nightly to keep under CONTROL"
AS to comparisons Of real estate
tax burdens, he said some studies
have indicated District taxes are
low, others that they compared with
other cities, and some that District
burdens are higher. He said the
only valid conclusion seemed to be
the real estate tax burden here is
cat least average" compared with
other cities.
An appreciable increase in the
real estate tax rate, he asserted,
would in final analysis be generally
more oppressive" than the sales tax.
He submitted a comparative chart
to show what home owners or rent
ers, by income groups, would have
to pay under a So realty tax rate
as against a per cent sales tax, as
follows:
