Montgomery
States Tax on
Realty Sales

The Montgomery County
Council has approved a tax of
up to / per cent on real estate
sales which win probably go
into effect about October /.
Although final action on the
ordinance will not be taken for
two weeks, the council yester-
day agreed Al on this formula:
l. A l per cent tax on the
sale Of all unimproved property.
2. A " per cent tax on the.
sale of houses worth more
than $4,000.
8. A " per cent tax on the
sale of houses valued at from
$40, ,000-$50, 900.
Houses sold for less than
$4,000 will not be taxed.
Finance Director Alex K.
Hancock, who had appealed for
a uniform tax on all sales, es-
timated that the levy will pro-
duce on annual income of about
$686,970 based on transfers
last year.
Walker Opposed
Council members william F.
Hickey. Mrs. Stella B. Werner.
David Cahoon, and Stanley B.
Frosh supported the formula.
Grover K. Walker voted against
it. Joe M. Kyle abstained
Mr. Cahoon. author of the
formula, which replaced an Or
iginal uniform / per cent pro-
posal, said the tax would help
to deter speculation in open
land throughout the county.
The money, according to
councilmen. will be used to pay
for building and street con-
struction on a pay-as-you-go
basis instead of bonds.
A standard l per cent reve-
nue., finance officials said,
would have produced an in
come of about $2.l million a
year.
Resignation Accepted
In other business, the coun-
Gil accepted the resignation of
Attorney j. Fendall Coughlan
from the County Human Re-
lations Commission and ap-
proved his successor. John j.
Toomey, a Washington lawyer.
Mr.. Toomey was the recon-

Mr.. Coughlan, who attempted

tablished last year to deal with

learning. They have discovered that defeat
is no reflection on either league
This was sore point in the beginning,
if you remember, because when the Ameri-
cans won regularly with Ruth, Foxx, Gomez,
Grove, Cronin Simmons, Ruffing and Rowe,
among so many Others it was argued that
the National was the weaker league.
AS 1T HAS TURNED OUT, Arch
Wards brain-child has been exposed as
harmless as test of relative strength 1t
seems to depend on which circuit is "up"
and which is down." if that much. The
pendulum swung the other way eventually,
and the muchly beaten Nationals have won
nine of the last 13 games and have mar
rowed the Americans overall edge to 1913.
Today, for the first time in years, the
AL is favored, 6-5 so it's said. This chiefly
is because of Roger Maris and Mickey
Mantle OF the Yankees, and so here we go
again on the accent on power But the
same Maris and Mantle didn't win the
World Series from Pittsburgh last year. nor
did Whitley Ford's Shutout heroics.
AS long as the present restrictions hold
for example, a pitcher can't work more
than three innings no matter how effective
he is proving to be-there never figures
to be much difference in the two leagues.
If they are 1913 in victories now they
could be 25-25 after half hundred games.
-
FOR WASHINGTON FANS it will be
interesting to find out, if the occasion rises,
if Dick Donovan can be that unlucky
against the National League, too. And the
Senators will have representation on the
coaching lines, too, because Manager Mickey
Vernon has been chosen as one of Paul
Richards aides.
But for the main part it's just good
show, not test of strength. This is the
way Arch Ward designed it and the way
it should have been regarded years ago,
when there was some pickering between
the two leagues.
It's the kind of spectacle designed for
easy watching, whether it's to be in person
at tomorroW'S curtain-raiSer at CandleStick
Park in San Francisco or the July 81 en-
gagement at F'enway Park in Boston or,
more probably, on TV. 1t is not a matter of
deciding whether Willie Mays is better than
Mickey Mantle, or of making any other
worldshaking decisions.
The fun is watching the best baseball has
to offer.

THE YEARS PASS SWIFTLY in sports,
despite the Stan Musials and Archie Moores,
and it's high time to stop regarding the
baseball All-Star hijinks between the
American and National Leagues as some
thing more or less recent. The 30th game
comes up in San Francisco tomorrow and
the history of the affair goes back to 1888
Many If not most of the All-Star
squads tomorrow-and the second game
July 81 in Boston-weren't even born when
the late Arch Ward, sports editor of the
Chicago Tribune, dreamed up what he
actually titled "the dream game" In Chi
cago-that was Sally Rand's year" too
they were celebrating and Wards project
turned out to be one of the better and
longer lasting of all promotions.
How many now even remember the
first managers? 1t was Wards notion, once
the spectacle left the ground, to appoint the
managers of the respective pennant win
ners in the preceding season. But to
launch the show the majors, although sus
picious originally of the game and what
it might do to the prestige of each, took
for once a sane and sensible course.
They chose the two most respected
managers still active, and so John McGraw
piloted the National Leaguers and Connie
Mack waved his famous scorecard at the
Americans. Both, alas, have long since de-
parted from this earth.
THERE WE'RE SOME great ball players
in those early years. most of whom find
their names in the record books If they are
s.4l alive. 1t would be impossible to list
Inem but out of the past emerge such
names as Ruth and Foxx and Dean and
Grove and Hubbell and Feller, who are
only legends to. many All-Star players to-
day.
There is long history, too, of argu-
mentS as to how the game should be con-
Quoted =. whether the fans should pick
the teams by newspaper vote or whether
the players, possibly better qualified, should
do it. But the All-Star Game survived all
the stormy sessions and now-or at least
since '59-there are two per year.
The purists insist that two games
cheaper the spectacle but the practical
among the players-who after all, make
off with most of the loot for their pension
fund-are all for more than one game. II

in previous three-game set in

the Indians dropped three of

took II of their next II. Later
they lost three out of four,
then won six of the next seven.

Even their latest successful
home stand was preceded by a

two All-Star Games, which will
be televised nationally (WRC-
4 in Washington. The second
game will be played July 81
in Boston. 1t is a virtual
certainty that the two-game
system, initiated in 1858, will
be continued through next year,
at least. The players voted
unanimously in favor of play
ing two games again in 1862.
A majority of the club owners
are opposed to two games but
it is believed thew will approve
the players request,
San Franciscans are anxious
ly awaiting their first look at
the American League sluggers,
especially Mickey Mantle and
Roger Maris, the Yankees
home run twins. Between them
they have walloped 81 home
runs this season.
1t is mainly because Of MariS
(33 home runs) Mantle (29)
and Detroit's Rocky Colavito
(22) and Norm Cash ga, and
the near certainty that Whitley
Ford, New York's brilliant
southpaw, will pitch the first
three innings, that the odds
makers have established the
American League a 6-to-5
favorite. The AL was Soundly
beaten in both games last year
and lost nine Of the last 13,
although it holds an overall
1913 edge.
Maris, Cash, Yankee Short
stop Tony Kubek and the

Consequently, it is believed that

Murtaugh can turn to two
other lefthanded starters, Mike
Mccormick of the Giants or

appeared in six previous games.
1t is highly possible he might
surprise by starting joey Jay,
who registered his 18th victory

Paul Richards, the AL man

fourth, reversing their normal

Mathews Return Lifts Hopes

SAN FRANCISCO. July 10

that Eddie Mathews, Milwau-
KEGS hard-hitting third base
man, would be available for
duty against the. American
League in tomorrow's 30th ALL
Star Game, second in Califor-
MIA and first in San Francisco.
1t was feared that Mathews,
the senior circuits premier
southpaw slugger, might be
forced to pass up the spectacle
because of a knee injury sus-
tained in a collision with Los
Angeles Daryl Spencer last
week. The big Californian.
however, returned to the
Braves lineup yesterday and
assured MI Manager Danny
Murtaugh he would be ready
when the game gets under way
at 4 pm. Washington time)
tomorrow.
$4,000 Expected
The loss of Mathews would
be a damaging blow to the Ma
tional League cause. OF the
four left-handed hitters in the
home teams lineup, Mathews
is the most likely to slam one
over the fence in right field,
a favorite target of the hit
ters because of the almost
constant wind that blows
toward that sector of Candle
stick Park. His 20 home runs
are more than the combined
total of southpaw Swingers
Bill White, Smokey Burgess
and Maury Wills. The latter is
actually a switch hitter.

There was no rising up

shutout. Lemon hesitated and
was a long time starting in
for Cottier's little fly ball.
BY that time, the bottom of
the second, the Twins already
had four runs, all off Tom
Cheney.
Lennie Green opened the first
with a double to right. Billy
Martin FOLLOWED with a triple
to deep center and he scored
as Bob Allison hit into a double
play.
Klippstein Wild
Battey opened the second
inning with a home run to the
bullpen in left and Lepcio fol-
lowed with another shot into
the leftfield bleachers. For
Lepcio it was his second hit
since joining the Twins from
Syracuse and his second homer
The Twins scored two more
runs in the third off Johnny
