OF III BASKET SQUAD

Even though badly beaten, the work of the high school basketball squad In Monday's workout with tha alumni on ; thaTT gym was far superior to the brand of basketball exhibited by the first team In the Spicel&nd scrap. Harklna and Wilson make a fast pair of . forwards but are lacking in height and weight. The two were all over the floor and served to make things interesting for the heavier and taller alumni outfit Green la a husky freshman that promises to be a star performer by the end of the season. : He has as much weight and height as Dollins and experience is the only thing lacking in his makeup. Vogelsong has bean holding down, the center position' on the varsity team in the absence of Dollins and has steadily improved. Bob Reed has

developed a basket eye during the Christmas vacation and Captain Clem Price Is looking tor Reed and Loehr to form the scoring combination tor

r Richmond in the Huntington scrap. . Game Not Scheduled. Nothing definite towards filling tho -open date on the high school schedule has been accomplished : as Manager Vernon is out of town. He had re- ' celved offers from several schools prior to the Christmas vacation. Judging from the number of re

quests for information received by Principal Bate, of high school, the

coming spring basketball tourney gives

promise of having a record breaking number of teams entered. Sixteen teams were entered in the 1919 classic and all or this number have sent noti- . flcatlon of their entering the 1920 competition for district honors. Added to

J this number, at least four new comers .'. will probably be included. Center-

vllle is one of these schools and has

the best team In its history. Boston,

Ansonia and spartansburg have wrtt ' ten for information.

Connie Mack. A few days ago Cornelius McGillicuddy, more generally known by the- nom de game of Connie Mack, celebrated his fifty-seventh birthday. ' That Connie is out, of, luck in the birthday business as ' he has been lately in baseball is indicated by the fact that his birthday fell just two. days .before Christmas so near that folks only gave him one present for both-occasions. Connie Is the oldest manager in the big leagues today. Two or three

of the magnates have more years on their shoulders than Connie, but he is the dean of the pilots. He is eleven

years older than John McGraw. Mack has been In baseball thirtyfive years. He broke into the managerial game in 1894, after serving his time as a player starring as ; a catcher. Mack's debut as a pilot was made with the Pittsburg Pirates. P1 managed them through the 1895 and 1896 campaigns and then .became manager of the Milwaukee Western league club. Five years later he hooked up with the Athletics as manager and part owner, and has been there ever since. In his first fourteen years with the Athletics before he broke up his famous aggregation. Mack bad Von six league flags and three world's pennants, had finished second three times, and third, fourth, fifth and sixth, once each. His team, which he has been building up the last few seasons, is rounding into form and Mack himself says that next year the team ought to show results.

By N. E. BROWN. The year 1920 Will furnish a plenty Of rattling good sports In all places. There's room for improvement. .

Were you one of thousands of per-

sons who last year, with unauestioned

honesty of purpose, filed an Incorrect

income tax returns T Are you, or ave you been a claimant tor refund of

taxes overpaid? . .; Have you been called upon by the

bureau of internal revenue for pay

for the collection of taxes for the year

1919 and subsequent years. - Change in Normal Rate.

' Probably the most Important change affecting the average taxpayer Is in

the normal rate, the exemptions of

81,000 for single persons and 92.000 for

married persons and heads of families remaining the same,: as for 1918. The normal rate for 1919 is 4 per cent on the first 84.000 of net Income above

the exemptions and 8 per cent on the remaining net Income. The normal

rate for 1918 was 6 and 18 per cent, respectively. This applies to every citizen and resident of the United

States., Allen nonresidents receiving

income from sources within the United

States are taxed to the full 8 per' cent

on the Income from such sources. -

The surtax rates, which range from per oant- on the amount of net .In

come between t5,Ctt and $3,000 to

pr cent on the mount of income in

exoeas ot LOQv,oou, t remain unchanged. :, - ! -. . " ; -' -'i "I

May my in installments. 7 The tax, as la 1919, may be paid in

full at the time of filing the return, or.

In four installments, the first of whicn ; is due on or before March 15, the sec

ond on or beforo June 15, the third on or before Sept. 15, and the fourth on or before Dec' 15.- The first installment must accompany the filing of the retrun. The period for filing is

from January 1 to March 15. Heavy penalties are provided for persons who fail or "willfully refuse" to file their return and pay the tax within

the time prescribed.

Gatherings From the World of Sport

Track Team of Gophers Begins Work on Jan. 15 (By Associated Press) 1 ; MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. SO. Track team practice will be under way at the University of Minnesota by Jan. 15. Coach Len Frank is optimistic as he has a wealth of material for dual meets and the conference struggle. ' Frank seems unusually well supplied with quarter mile runners and a fast mile relay team is forecast. Arnold Oss, football and basketball star, has done the distance in 49 3-5, but he will have B. F. Johnson, captain of the 1917 team, and Dick Fisher, to keep him company. Johnson has done the 220 in 22 seconds, while Fisher was a star In 1916. Captain John Holt also is a sprinter of conference ability. The Gopher squad is- well supplied with distance men. Jumpers and polo vaulters, but Frank will be obliged to develop point winners in the weight events. Connersvhle to Play ; Centervflle, Wednesday Centervllle fans will see strong independent basketball teams in action Wednesday evening. ,The - Conners- ' ville Independents will clash with the Centervllle Independents, at Centervllle. Connersville has lost only one game this season, and that to Rushville. Later Rush ville was beaten by nn overwhelming score at Connersville. Centervllle has lost only two games this season. Centervllle is seeking games for its schedule. ELDORADO'S SCHEDULE The Eldorado Independents, In a stiff schedule for this week will meet the " New Madison Independents on Maw Year's nixht and the Verona In

dependents Saturday night. The first

game is to be piayeu ai new jhsqibou and the last one at Eldorado. Eldorado has been playing two or more games a week., winning the majority. Their only defeat on the home floor was administered by the Richmond Em-Roes In an overtime game.

" If Jack Dempsey goes over to France and flattens Georges Carpentier In quick time, Incidentally taking out of the country a arge bale of francs, it may result to killing boxing in that country. With Georges beaten, boxing will have little attraction for the French. ; Carpentier has been beaten before,, but it aways was easy to find excuses for him and he always put up a good batte. But if Dempsey

should land one in the first round and rock Georges to sleep before Manager Descamos .-csnr hon --Into" the ring", to

save him, it will be a terrible Bhock to-- his .. enthusiastic followers. -. It would do boxing in France more harm than the defeat of Jefferies did to the sport in this country, y The three American amateur boxers who went to Sweden early in November recently returned home laden with honors. The party consisted of John Burke,, the light heavyweight of Pittsburg; .Frank Cassidy, of New

York., who holds the national, lightweight championship, and Aston Donze of New Orleans, national bantamweight champion. The party was In care of Benny Levine. All the boxers were very successful in their contests. They won thirteen out of seventeen bouts. Cassidy won the lightweight title in Copenhagen, but lost in the Swedish championship bout. Burke won both the Copenhagen championship and the SWfc)h championship in the heavyweight division and Donze also was successful In both tournaments. Frank Moran, who fought both

i Jack Johnson and Jess Wlllard when

(they were holding the world's heavyweight title, and who was supposed to

have retired for all time from the

; roped arena, is back in the game with

both feet and his old "Mary Ann' hay

'out in the middle west; and having satisfied himself that he Is still able ' to handle himself in the most ap-

. proved Queensberry fashion he is now

Before long Moran1 may leave these fhdrerfof England for a bout with Joe

Beckett,- the British champion, who

his willingness to meet Beckett.
