"White May riffM Harrey, Promoter Graham, who came In from I.st Chicago, has so many prospective matches in sight he acts like the old girl In the shoe. One of the bouts he had figured on, however, he discovered he cannot stage. Ho wanted " to send Joe Welling against Charley "White, but as Well has a a bad hand, which he injured in a New York scrap with Willie Beecher, he won't be ready for a match with the left hook artist so soon. It looks as if White will be one-half the windup planned by Graham, for the promoter practically clinched that part of it. It is quite likely the other half will be made up of Johnny Harvey, the

New Torker, who recently knocked out Joe Rivera. White has fought Harvey before and found him tough picking.

MAJOR LEAGUE

PROTEST TAX

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 9. That the proposed 10 per cent tax on baseball and amusement " tickers would be "absolutely ruinous' to the baseball business and might result in a discontinuance of the sport Is the substance of a protest en the tax sent Chairman Simmons of the senate finance committee by John K. Tener, president of the National league. Both Presidents Tener and Johnson of the American league have been attempting to obtain hearings before the ways and means committee of the house, which has been drafting the new revenue bill, but have failed. . They have been seeing members of the senate committee, however, and

I hope to beat the amusement tax when

the bill goes to the senate.

NEW YORK. May 9. Though young in years, Benny Kauff is decidedly on the of the baseball players of the old school. He can perform feats with a chaw of tobacco that would dazzle some of the champion quid jugglers of baseball. The other night at the Harlem Sporting Club, Benny ate. an apple, drank a bottle of soda pop and smoked a black cigar without moving a quir of tobacco from his left cheek. This record may have been tied about twenty years ago, but it is a cinch that it will never be beaten in these effete days of the national pastime.

PEERLESS A. C. PLAYS BOOSTER A. C. The Peerless A. C of East Chicago will play their fourth consecutive game Sunday, May 3, against the Booster A. C. of Indiana Harbor at East Chicago. The Peerless A. C. Is a clean, fast uniformed team which has lost only one game thus far on account of the crippled condition of the team at that time. The club has only been organized for two seasons and the decided Improvements over last year prevalent throughout the whole team makes it a ravorite among the fans of East Chicago.

AFTER A GRAPPLING MATCH Carl Kowalskl. a heavyweight grappler of Hammond, is anxious to secure a match with Buck Weaver, who traveled with the carnival that played in East Chicago recently. Kowalskl said that Weaver failed to throw him at the carnival and that he is willing to wager he can beat him.

"ALFALFAS" AFTER PITCHER

(By Waited Frees.) OWOSSO.. MICH., May 9. When a farm hand looks for a Job In the Maple River district, south of here, the farm, er doesn't ask him: "Can you run a gasoline engine?'' He says: "Can you run the bases?" It Isn't: "Can you drive a tractor," but: "Can you drive in a run?" And just now it Isn't important whether a farm hand can pitch hay it's a question of whether he can pitch ball. That's because Maple River, champions of the Alfalfa league, are shy a pitcher. Charley Vandewater, former Michigan Aggie star, has gone away and the wholiC community, from the Shiawassee town dam to Bill Cllne's place In Pennington, is looking for a worthy successor to him. The baseball fever here is a result of a "back-to-the-farm" campaign. The farmers wanted to provide amusement to keep their sens and hired help on the farms. Now they're so interested in the games, themselves, that farming Is of secondary importance.

XUf

Stahls vs. Hammond. Jake Stahl will make an attempt to oust the Hammond team from the leadership in the City League Sunday when he leads his Jake Stahl aggregation against the Hoosiers in the Hammond park. Hammond has now won three games In a row.

BUMPED

AUTOMOBILE manufacturers throughout the United States are uniting in a belated and probably vain effort to have the proposed S per cent tax on motor vehicles stricken from the war revenue bill. Their argument, which seems to have a grain of reason in it, ia that they will bear their share of the burden with everyone else under the corporation income and excess profits taxes, and that to single out the motor Industry for a further

levy is class legislation. Congressmen are being bombarded with telegrams

embodying this plea, personal appeal

being the only avenue of approach left

to the perturbed manufacturers.

Of course it is reasonable to auppoaa that the automobile buyer, and not the manufacturer, will foot the bill In the end. Frequent Increases in motor car

prices in the last few months have pared the way for further boosts, and nearly every maker has already taken pains to warn an indulgent public' that it will have to pay hereafter on a steadily increasing scale. So, with a 10 per cent war tax on gaaoline to start with, the motorist will, at least, be doing his bit. If he objects to having hi utilitarian means of conveyance levied on as a luxury along with soft drinks, theater tickets, and playing cards, he'll have a sympathizer or two, but at the present writing, despite the kindly manufacturers' efforts, it looks as If it isn't going to do him much good.
