The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-

charges for like and contemDoraneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids 1t does not, however,, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron

train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service

the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patronized. The Missouri

alternate in the box. He can often
pitch good game, however, and can be

BROUTHERs AND M'CORMICK.
How Big Dan Puiverized Chi
cago's Once Famous Pitcher.

CaSO'S once Famous PItCnef.
The story of how Jim Mutrie secured
Dan Brouthers when the latter was
working on the streets in New York has
often been told, but doubt if the tale
about no n Big Dan gave Jim McCor-
mick an attack of heart trouble has ever
been recited Back in 1881 the announce
ment was made that Troy, then men,
Der of the league, had signed giant
first baseman who had demOraliZed
Eastern pitchers by hitting their deliv-
cry all over the field. The giant refer
red to was Brouthers. and it was not
long before the Troy club reached Buff
falo. Tine following day the Cleveland
papers chronicled BroutherS' first in
PRODUCTION to Galvin's delivery. He
made two three-baggers and like num-
Der of doubles. l was sitting in the
Cleveland club house before the game,
when Mccormick and Shafer entered.
"McCormick, did you hear how that
man Brouthers raped Gentle Jimmy
at Buffalo Yesterday" asked big Bill
Phillips "Yes. did," replied Nc
Cormick. "What about it?" "Well he
comes here next, Old man, and you want
to have your arm in shape, for if the
stories about that fellow are correct he
will need watching" said Phillips.
Don't let that bother you, Bill. Pn
take care of him. He won't get hit Off
me-"
The Troy club reached Cleveland
three days later. There used to be
brick barn back of the left fence, which
was about 400 feet from the home plate.
Brouthers stepped up to the plate in
the first inning. Low ball." exclaimed
the umpire. Now, Mccormick had
fashion of carelessly pitching his first
ball high into the air. BrOutheIS
reached for that ball. which was sailing
about two feet over bis head. His bat
met the ball, and bang against the brick
barn did it go. Brouthers started
around the bases, Mccormick fell in a
heap on the ground with his eyes pro-
truding from their sockets as big as
saucers. The other Cleveland players
fell on their knees, and the spectators
were thunderStruck at seeing mere
novice punish their pitcher in such
manner.
After Brouthers made the circuit>of
bases he sat down on the players
bench.
Mccormick gathered himself up and
walked over to where Brouthers was
sitting. "Here, young Teller, shake"
said Mccormick. You called for low
ball" Il did," was the reply. "WelI,
tell me, how did you come to reach up
there for that one?'' ''Well, Pll tell
you. Phillips told me you pitched the
first ball up there, and was ready for
YOU"
Mccormick walked back into the
pitchers box, gave Phillips a look
which he will never forget, and he did
not speak to Phillips for the balance of
the season.
