ROGGE BEATEN Molla Biurstedt Shows Her Norwegian Agn- Friend a Few Stunts in Tennis Game, New York, Feb. 7.—Mrs. Johan Rogge, the Norwegian tennis star who rose high and bright in the tennis firmament last Monday, went into vesterday afternoon. The racquet in her sensational victory over Miss Marion Vanderhoff was snuffed out by the more powerful and mort famous Norwegian star, Miss | Molla Bjurstedt, in the invitation tournament at the Heights Casino, Brooklyn. The score was 6—0, 6—1. The fame of her old friend and; countrywoman played almost as im- ! portant a part in the downfall of Mrs. | Rogge as the skill, speed and stamina displayed by Miss Bjurstedt. Mrs. Rogge suffered from stage fright which bordered on collapse. She was as nervous as a kitten and did not show any traces of her true game. So palpable was her nervousness that the big gallery which watched the | contest sympathized with her, and a vast majority of them refused to ac- cept the match in judgment of the relative merits of the pair, All agreed that Mrs. Rogge did not play her game; that she is capable of better tennis and that she will go on to better-things and eventually give a good account of herself in champion- ship competition. LEHIGH FIVE LOSE. Orescent A. C. Basket Tossers Much For Pennsylvanians. New York, Too Feb. 7.—The Crescent Athletic club basketball team defeated Lehigh University on the Crescent court last night by a score of 22 to 11. Lehigh held the club players to the small lead of 14 to 8 in the first half, but could not withstand the rush of its rivals in the second period. The tall Lehigh players often inter- cepted the passing of the Crescent men and on frequent occasions frus- trated the latter's efforts to cage field zoals when in the shadow of the bas- ket. In the second half the Crescent players forced the pace at all times and break away from the close zuarding of their rivals, caged baskets with more frequency.

Derrill does not conceal the fact that he is disappointed with the fiz- ures written in his 1918 contract by Col. Jake Ruppert. By givin five players and cash for Pratt Alabaman came to the conclusion that the Yankees considered him quite a star. After reading his con- tract, however, Derrill decided he is not quite sure of his ground. Commenting on the fact returned his contract to Col. Rup- pert, Pratt in a despatch from St Louis is quoted as sayin “T dis- like to begin a new season with a new club apparently dissatisfied, and do not want to be classed as a hold- out. I wrote a nice letter to Col. Ruppert, telling him T w disap- pointed that he did not tender me more salary. I believe, too, is advisable to wait until my suit against President Ball of the Browns is settled before 1 sign.” Miller Huggins, the Yankee ager, said he did not want to about Pratt beir holdout heard himself from his new baseman.

Your agent must make affidavit that he has sufficient knowledge of your affairs to make return for you and be willing to assume responsibil- ity for a delinquent, false or fraudu- lent return. The tax of collecting income taxes devolves upon the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The bureau is sending in- to every county in the United States revenue officers to a: taxpayers in making out their return The loca- tion of their offices may be ascer- tained by inquiring of the office of the collector of internal revenue, vour bank or the postmaster.

The services of the govern- ment experts are offered without cost, but should you fail to see them you are not relieved of the duty imposed therefore, is 67 by law to file your return within the | time prescribed. The government is not required to seek the taxpayer. The taxpayer must seek the government. Payment of the tax must be made on or before June 15, 1918 The man who thinks to the income tax is making a serious error. A checking system will inform the government of delinquents. Under what is known as the “information at source” provision of the act of 1917 employers are required to file with the Commissioner of Inter Rev- snue a true report of the wage of $800 or more paid to each employve during the year 1917. The govern- ment has other methods of tab on delinquents. The penalties are severe. For fail- ing to make a return on time the pen- alty is a fine of not less than $20 nor more than $1,000 and In addition 50 per cent. of the amount due For making a false or fraudulent return the penalty is a fine not exceeding $2,000 or one year’s imprisonment or both, in the discretion of the court and 100 per cent. of the tax due For failing to pay on time the pen- alty is an assessment of five per cent of the amount of tax due plus one per cent. interest for each full month dur- ing which it remains unpaid.
