THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1913. 10 DOME TAX FROM RYAN SOUGHT Ex-Beaver Worries Over De mand for 1913 Levy but Denies He Owes It. PAY NOT $3000. HE AVERS Coiniskcr Peeved at Indianapolis' Butting Into California and Mc Crcdie Wonders it Chicagoan Wants to Hog State. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. ff Buddy Ryan doesn't report to the Fait Lake City club in prime condi tion it will not be the fault of the United States Treasury Department. Some skulking secret service man of aW United States Treasury Depart ment has been on the erstwhile Tort land idol's trail for nearly two months tryins to make him pay income tax on his 1913 salary at Cleveland. Buddy says he doesn't owe the money but Just the same ?30 is 30 simoleons and Bud has been fretting and stewing nnd seeing gargoyles in Ms sleep and nil because he doesn't know what the United States courts may do about it Jf it ever coines to a showdown. "I don't owe It." said Buddy yes terday. "All I got at Cleveland was S24UO and our series with Pittsburg brought in only J-30 so that is a total cf lbiO. I siui allowed an exemption of J300J. I understand. "I'erhaps they are taxing me for what Birmingham didn't think I was worth. I don't quite understand the In's and out's of the thing, but Judge JlcCredie is trying to square things for me. The tax Is 1 per cent" Strangely enough. Buddy says he will be extremely glad to pay income tax next year if Cliff Blankenship will only fix it so that his salary exceeds the exemption. President Blewett, of the North western I-easrue is peeved at rerle Casev and that is why lie isn't con sidering l'crle for an umpiring job this year. Blewett says he wrote Perle two "letters to his Portland address nd did not hear a word from either of them. "If ho doesn't want to show the courtesy of a reply why should I figure on giving him a position?" de clares Brexy Blewett. .MeGreevy. Mike Lynch and Frary ap pear to have the inside track on the indicator berths. An infield position on Hie Vancouver club has been tendered to Charley Moore. The ex-Coaster doesn't know where he will land yet. George Kngle. a well-known North west pitching veteran, has butted into the jitney business in Seattle. Tiudic Kallio comes lorth with a prime boost for young Walters, who one time tried out with Nick Williams' Colts as an outfielder. Kallio, who is a. Portland boy. pitched for Saskatoon in the Western Canada League last year, and young Walters caught for the Saskatoon champions. "He is fully as good a hitter as Barth. who goes to Seattle." said Kallio yesterday. "Walters is small but he poked the pill for .31 1 up there. He hits right handed and Walter McCredie Is looking him up." Both Kallio and Walters have been awarded to the Waco club of the Texas League but they revert to the Western Canada circuit again in 1916 If the war permits a reorganization of the I'anadian circuit. Kallio won 15 and lost 12 for Saska toon. He is Wintering in Portland. Charles Comiskcy is said to be much reeved because the Indianapolis club of the American Association is butting Into his training territory in California. "Yes. Comiskey wants to hog the whole st:it", I suppose." ejaculated Walter .McCiedie. discussing the mur murs of discord. "His While Sox coine out here every Spring and play in I.os Angeles and San Francisco for nearly a month. I get one or two games down in the small towns, but have to suffer for the other games through falling off in patronage when the league season orens. "All the fans have seen their clubs In action i ti San Krnnoisco and Los An geles and naturally that takes the edge off the opening week's receipts." The Indianapolis club s proposed trip through California appears to be almost cinched. McGill's barnstormers will play Salt like City at San Jose, will tackle tho Portland club in two games, March 14 and l." at Fresno, and will then proceed to San Diego for a series with Hap Hognn's Tigers. Later the Indians will trek off East ward through Texas and doubtless they will tackle two or three of the big league club's in their camps. rOKTIiAM) CM B IS PEFKATUD I'.evolvcr Team I'iftli in National As-.-iM-iaiion Tourney.

Covey, the British champion, for the open title, and it will be the most important match ever played in America. JOHNSON SAYS CONDITION FINE Kluck Pugilist AVeiglis 210 and Is Confident of Victory.

When the Na tional League baseball clubowners meet here tomorrow to adopt a playing schedule for the coming season, they probably will rescind the order passed at their December session reducing the player limit of each club to 21 men. Last week the American League at its meeting did not reduce its maximum of 25 and it is expected that the Nation als will change back to the same num ber of players. Another matter which may be dis cussed is the advisability of making it mandatory on the club not to send players to Spring training quarters be fore March 1. This was recommended at the last annual meeting, but since that time several clubowners and man agers in the National League have de clared that a rule to this effect would be too drastic and that the clubs should be allowed to send their young play ers into training just as early as they deemed advisable. COLLEGE CHATTER. William W. Roper, Princeton M2), has been appointed head coach of the Swarthmore team for the football sea son.

With the entrance or totauD, Bill' Havward obtains the cream of preparatory school athletes who nave entered Oregon in tne pursuit oi a ue gree this semester. Last Soring, wnue running ior me Multnomah Club and Washington High School, young Staub blossomed forth as the best 440 and half-mile man who has run in Portland Interscholastic circles since the days of Vere Wind nagle. The ex-Washington High star won every race he entered while under the supervision of Coach Veatch that season, and won them easily. With Loucks. Goreczky. Nelson and Staub. Hayward will have a crack quar tet of quarter-milers, and a remarkable relav team should develop. A chance to enter the big brush at the Pennsyl vania relay games is an ultimate end for these men to work for, and Wednes day afternoon should see them all in the harness, preparing for Oregon's banner year in track athletics. Repair work on the running shed, with the addition of rainy weather and the time spent in registration, prevented track athletes from reporting for the initial turnout this afternoon. Wednes day, however, will find the Oregon squad out in full regalia ready for the strenu ous season ahead. Baseball League Mcctinjr Called. President M. R.

Professor Lngnad Tells How Peonle Fought for Possessions. PHILADELPHIA, Feb., 1. People who lived 4000 years ago were as hu man in business and legal dealings as those ot today, according to Babylonian business and legal records deciphered at the University of Pennsylvania by Dr. Arthur Ungnad, professor of assyriology in the University of Jena. Last Summer Professor Ungnad translated the records from ancient tablets in the university museum, and has described the results of his re search in a book just completed. He now is serving as a private in the Ger man army. One of the letters translated by Pro fessor Ungnad was written by a Baby lonian, who complained that his brother, following a law of the land, had seized a female slave of great value and had kept her after the debt was paid. He pointed out that he had a receipt for the money and insisted that his brother return the slave. Judg ment was ordered in the case. Another letter was from the Mayor of a city to the authorities at Babylon. The letter complained that the Mayor had not paid his taxes. The Mayor, however, insisted that the money had been paid and had been receipted for in the Babylonian temple of Marduk. He suggested that the authorities "look closer home for the trouble." plainly intimating that some grafting official might explain the absence of the record of the payment. Another citizen started legal pro ceedings against a man to whom he had lent a pair of oxen to cultivate his soil. One of the oxen died while work ing for the neighbor. The defense was that the ox went outside the field and ate some poisonous substance. The de fendant declined responsibility, and his Case was upheld. The complainant ap pealed the case to the Supreme Court at Nippur. GLUB ELECTION TONIGHT MILT.NOMAH MEMBERS TO CHOOSE FIVE NEW DIRECTORS.

Holt is chairman. No other ticket was posted before February 2, the date when nominations closed. Various committees also will report at the meeting. Each committee's serv ices end for the year, with the elec tion of the board. The new directors will take office February 15 and meet with the five hold-over members of the board. The reorganized board will elect officers from among Its members. A smoker and general get-acquainted meeting for members will follow the election tonight. This will be the club's 24th birth day. In its 24-year career it has de veloped from a small social organiza tion to an athletic club of world-wide repute. Many championships in various lines of athletics have been won by the club since its organization. The club's roster of members has on it about 3200 names. Sidelights and Satire. EVEN more dangerous to baseball than the Federals, tongue-wagging big league managers 'and contract- Jumpers, is the European war, accord ing to Curtis Guild, former United States Minister to Siberia. Guild claims that the only leather, which will not stretch under sudden contact, comes from the hides of Siberian ponies and that the National sport would be han dicapped this coming year by a scarcity of good balls.

In an article in the Bund, Colonel Mueller, the war corre spondent, who has Just returned from the front, declares there are serious symptoms of demoralization in the French army. Discouraged by futile tactics, an increasing number of sol diers are voluntarily giving themselves up to the enemy. The f reni n, says Colonel Mueller, are reckless In burn ing their own villages. Regarding the slight damage to a French hamlet sit uated before the line ot German posts Colonel Mueller says: "It is uncertain whether the village would still exist It a German outpost had remained in it. In such case the French would most likely have shot It to pieces. The French shoot into their own villages as long as the smallest hostile detachment remains there. They do this with tho most deplorable lack of consideration, as if they believed they gained a tactical advantage there by. At times the French advanced for no apparent reason. Their advances are made more for political than mili tary reasons, so they can report an advance, or for purposes of scouting in order to tire out and alarm the foe. It seems that no serious intention exists of breaking through on the unfavorable ground from which they have once he- fore been repulsed with heavy losses. "Owing to the fact that the position of the German batteries are frequently changed and carefully concealed. Iho impetuous Frenchmen pour a lull of shot and shells on all points which they suspect to be covered, but ths effect is negligible. Various signs In dicate that training of the artillery has not the desired effect to encouran the men to an infantry attack, but. on the contrary, its effect Is rather dis couraging. This seems to be borne out by the fact that there Is nn ever In creasing number of men who -olun-tarily give themselves up to ths ene my. When questioned they Indicated that they were tired of this sort of warfare, as it is always follom-ed by losses. In many lnstanres they de clared outright that, having wives sml children at home, they did not see whjf they should let themseHes bo shot needlessly. "This, however, do.'s not Indicate a general demoralisation and discoursse ment. The Germans admire tho cour age and contempt ot death of the Northern Frenchmen, nnd In tlm Ger man army they speak with th great est respect of the French officers. They speak with all respect and without malice. Frequently one hears expres sions of warm sympathy and of sin cere regret for the terrible calamity. Often the hope Is exprcwed that aMcr this war it will come to n honest final reconciliation between France and Germany. 33 MOVIES ARE CLOSED Iolkc Shut All Houses WliU-h IIhvc rail i-tl to lid JJoriiM. rHILAPEKPNIA.
