Friday April 30, 2010 Troy Record Article 100 years ago Saturday, April

“The struggle over ratification of what would be the Sixteenth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution continues in the New York State
Legislature as
politicians argue the merits and morality of a federal income tax.Troy’s
reigning legal expert weighs in on the debate in today’s Record. While
Democrats mostly support the amendment, Republicans are split. George B.
Wellington is Troy’s corporation counsel – the legal advisor to Mayor Elias P.
Mann and the city’s advocate in court cases. He publishes an open letter in
our paper to Troy’s representatives in the legislature, Senator Victor
Allen and Assemblyman Fred C. Filley, in favor of the federal tax amendment. "

“It’s practically an annual tradition for the New York Giants of the
National League to come to Troy for an exhibition game against this city’s
State League baseball team. The Giants renew the tradition today at Center
Island Park, The Record reports.The team from the metropolis comes to town
without its veteran manager, John J. McGraw. Fred Tenny helms the Giants
instead, as he has throughout their spring training tour. Like Troy’s Jim
Kennedy, Tenny is a player-manager. He plays first base while Kennedy normally
occupies second. The Troy manager is still nursing a sore foot, however, and
restricts himself to the bench today.Robert Stubbings is Troy’s starting
pitcher. His big test against major-league talent proves “a dismal failure.”
Our scribe credits that fact to the almost complete game hurled by reliever
Hoff.“Hoff’s work was the best he has done since joining the club and
there is no denying the fact that the spitball artilleryman knows how to work
on the mound,” he explains. "
