Ohio Refunds For Indiana Truckers Agreement Reached ‘ On Axle-Mile Tax INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Indiana truckers wilj get Ohio tax refunds of about $2,500,000 because of an agreement on collection of an axle-niile tax, it was learned today. Ira Haymaker, attorney for the Indiana truckers, said he was -ncrtitied by Stanley J. Bowers. Ohio tax commissioner. About 00 Hoosier operators will share in the ref:Aid. Haypiaker said. The axle-mile tax. based on number of axles, distance traveled and weight, was first collected by Ohio in October. 1953. But the fax was not part of the IndianaDhio rec iprocny agreement. “ 4 ” Ohio cancelled its reciprocity agreements in October, 1955, and lected up to that time was illegal. Indiana officials said the tax colThe refund, agreed upon in an out-of-court settlement, is based on money Ohio collected from Indiana truckers while reciprocity was in effect. Truckers can apply the refund toward payment of current Ohio taxes, Haymaker said.

[ Today's Sport Parade | ' BY FORD FRICK (Commissioner Os Baseball (Written For The United Press) NEW YORK (UP)—While mail coming into the. baseball commissioner's. office is likely to be varied. one iletter that arrived early (his spring was ti ulv unusual. ~, , It was from the mother of a boy who had just signed his first baseball contract. She admitted that she did not know a great deal • i about professional baseball, and I turning to ' the ■‘ttfmmissionet‘ for advice, she asked “What does my boy have to ..look forward to in baseball?” It seemed both a fair and intriguing question. Naturally, a primary consideration would be the tailents of the boy' himself, some-

thing I was in no position to judge. But, with the assumption that the boy was equipped to playbaseball to a degree that would bring him to the major leagues. I told her that there were five important things he could look forward to with a great deal of interest. The first was competition. Not only the stimulating competition of the game itself, but also the challenge of other players for his position both on the team for which he was playing, and-for- the major league berth for which he worked. And work it would be, as well as play, for ‘ there are so many young men aspiring for thd -relatively few places on major league posters. Secondly, he would be able to -look forward to a great deal of responsibility. Like competition/ responsibility is many — faceted. The boy will have a responsibility to himself and his team-mates to dp the best- possible job on the field. The winning of pennants, promotions and raises in salary are all built upon performances on the field. There is, too. a duty to his club and manager to obey the rules set off-field activities. Uniform adherence to such rules promotes the harmony so" necessary for success,—- — And. also, he has a responsibility. particularly” When he is a major leaguer, to the youth of our country, who so often look to him -for exam pie. White it is true that this fatter duty is sometimes overlooked, it is. for the most part, observed and baseball can be, and is, proud of the men who have played the game Equality is another consideration to which he can look forward. In baseball the church you attend, or the color of your sin, or the social position of your family are unimportant. Your ability to produce on the field is the only yardstick used in measuring your success. A .fourth point for the young man to consider is security. Major league players have a pension plan that is unequalled in our country. Currently a player who serves with' a major league club for five years is guaranteed SSO a month for life, beginning at age 50. A ten year man is guaranteed SIOO a month. With the coming of the new contract covering broadcasts and telecasts of the World Series, these benefits are expect-

tistics. One fact was outstanding, all the members of the class are still jiving. Harry Moyer, senior class president, was master of ceremonies for the affair. Each class member introduced his family and Bill Tutewiler, reap several letters from classmates unable to attend the reunion. Remarks and reminiscences of the years this group spent at D.H.S. were made by Mrs. Robinson. Mrs. Dill. Brown, and Harry Moyer. An “Wsi«sting~Tact WSir called to mind, this’ class, under the leadership of Moyer, initiated the student day sale, which has become a traditional yearly activity

ed to increase substantially. ' In writing to the mother, the fifth point that I listed was pride, in more than 30 years of being around ball players, as a newspaperman, league president and commissioner, I have never known a ball player who was not proud to say he "was a “majorleaguer.” And well h e might be, .for a selective title, for by many, achieved by a relatively few. With the exception of military medals won in combat, 1 know of no award worn more proudly than the ring which si|; jiifies membership of a world championship club. 1 don't honestly know the reaction of this mother to my letter. but I wish her the satisfaction that can come to her from a successful baseball career for her son.
