Breaks Loose Again - Sour on Every
body In Baseball

Boston, Sept. 26-President Freedman
of the New YOrks, was a spectator of
the games at the South End grounds
After the game he talked freely on the
baseball situation in New York and
league matters in general. He said
that the Manhattan field in New York
was open for the new league or any
other organization that wanted to hire,
but that he had all the baseball he
wanted so far as he himself was con-
cerned.
He proposed to stay out of the game
from a spectators standpoint until the
league got rid of the schemers who
were undermining the life OF the or
ganizatiOnS.
Boston, Pittsburg and Philadelphia
clubs" said he, ARE run by gentlemen,
who would do credit to any business.
So is the Louisville club handled by
gentlemen. The other clubs are run in
a questionable manner by schemers
who are trying to undermine each 9TH

repute. Such methods will not succeed
long either in baseball or any other

PERFEcTos' AVERAGES.
Burkett's Batting Figures Fell Of
Three Points.

St Louis, Sept. 26.-Jesse Burkett's
batting average fell off 3 points during
the past week He has his eye on the
ball, and is hitting it hard, but the
sphere will not drop safe for him. He
complains of all kinds of hard luck on
with any kind of a break he would be
hitting a deal over the 400 mark now,
as he smashed the ball on a line in all
directions, but mostly right at one of
the fielders. Hedrick and Donlin also
fell off in their batting during the past
week, but Wallace and Cross held their
own. Tim Flood, who took Child's place
at second base yesterday, made one hit
out of three times at bat, and cOnse-
quently is in the 800 class. Flood has a
chance to stay up with the leaders, as
he stands we'll at the plate, and picks
out the good ones.

Indian Crioketer at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Sept 26.-Prince Ran
jitsinhji, the famous Indian cricke-eT
and his English eleven began their
first match in this country Monday on
the grounds of the Belmont Cricket
club, at Elmwood, a suburb of this
city. They had as their opponents the
Philadelphia Colts" a team picked
from the various local amateur cricket
clubs. The weather was favorable and
the grounds were in excellent condition.
The attendance was small. When the
game began at noon but 300 people We're
present, the crowd increasing during
the afternoon to 1900. When stumps
We're drawn at 5 O'Clock, the Colts, who
won the toss and went first to bat, had
made $50 runs for q. loss of fifteen wick
cts.
It had been arranged to allow twenty
two Colts to take the field against the
princes team, but at his request it was
twenty-five men to bat. The prince
twenty-five men had taken the field
against his team and that the effect on
his men was depressing. He also stip-
ulated that he should send twelve men
to bat and eleven to the field.
The feature of the days play was the
fielding of the visitors. The prince put
in seven of his boWlers, Townsend be-
ing the most effective. The highest in

by Jordan, White following with twen-

this practice, and especially was this true last
year, as it appears that from to 10 per cent of
the weight of wheat shipped was dirt and
screenings, the value of same and freight paid
thereon being dead loss to the farmer. This
loss amounts to about two cents per bushel.
For this loss the inspection department cannot
be held responsible. The fault lies ut the door
of the farmer.
This loss could and should be avoided by the
farmer cleaning his wheat
We also conclude, from the information OBJ
tained, that at many country elevators the dock
age has been excessive and the grading unfair.
This appears from the official reports on file
with the department, and We are unable to see
why the railroad and warehouse commission
has not taken any step to stop this unlawful
practice.
Every individual aggrieved should make a
complaint as provided BY law, and the railroad
and warehouse commission should when it can
he determined from the reports sent in from
these elevators that the law is being violated,
promptly bring the viOlators Of the law to re-
form, or revoke their license.
But, as q surer and speellier relief, at almost
every station in the etate it is within the power
OF the farmer to himself remedy this evil by
procuring . site, building and operating their
own elevator or warehouse and We cannot too
strongly recommend to every farming commu-
nifty to promptly avail themselves Of this privi.

WHEAT INSPECTION.
The Minnesota Legislative Committee
Makes Some Wise Suggestions.

Makes Some Wise Suggestions.
Milton Globe.
The Minnesota state legislative
committee appointed to investigate
the charges of corruption and
favoritism in the grain inspection
department submitted it's report to
both houses of the Legislature last
Monday. The report from begin
ing to end is a scathing arraign-
ment of the department. 1t was
found that the grading is not uni
form, it being the policy of the de-
partment to give lower grades
early in the season than later as
we'll as taking more excessive dock
age. The system of appeal is
found to be impracticable, expen-
sive and of little benefit. Some
inspectors have been incompetent
or careless. The weighing of the
grain has been carried on in a
loose manner. The farmers suffer
a heavy loss by shipping uncleaned
wheat and by loading wheat into
dirty and unswept cars. 1t ap.
peared clearly to the committee
that the wheat marketed early in
the season is not inspected upon
it's merits. but from all overcau.
tious desire on the part of the de.
partment to keep up what they
deem is necessary to keep the stan
dard of the grade This rule o
rigid inspection continues from
three to four weeks, and if thi
was the only damage resultin,
. from this system Of inspection tn
result would not be so disastrous
but from this very fact the countr,
buyers become overcautious il
buying and in order to protec
themselves generally continue tn
rigid grading from two to thre
weeks after the inspection depart
ment at the terminal points ha
changed its system of grading, an,
this results in additional heav
loss to the producers and conse
quent gain to the purchasers
D This system does not commend il
O self as being either just or neces
sary. Wheat should be grade
solely on it's merits, whether it b
in January or September. Whea
should be graded No. l because j
is No. and for no other reason
The committee makes the follow
ing recommendations:
