John K. Cowen believers a Homily
On American Jurisprudence.

Ocean City, Md, July 27.-John K.
Cowen, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad company. addressed the
session of the Maryland Bar associa-
ton on the subject of the Baltimore &
Ohio receivership. Mr.. Cowen said that
the results achieved showed that there
had been evolved a method in Ameri-
can Jurisprudence whereby the courts
can take a great property, whose adj
ministration is full of difficulty, and
so rehabilitate it that substantial JUS
tice will be done to bondholders, float
ing debt creditors and stockholders;
that this can be done without violating
any of the well defined rights of any
creditor-and that it is the duty of the
courts in administering these local
trusts to place the property in the po-
sition where its possible earning ca
pacity can be shown and consequently
a fair and just reorganization can be
made

Final Trial of Strength Between L.
A W. and N. C. A.


New York, July 27.-The Times says:
Officials of the League of American
Wheelmen in this city maintain that
there is no significance in the report
that the league will be ignored at the
worlds championship meet at Montreal
Cycling association members be re-
said that he could not see how the
French association by requesting them
to accept entries from national cycling
association riders. Should the request
be granted there will be a clash be-
tween the League of American Wheel
men and the foreign associations. 1t
would be ridiculous to call the Can
adam event a worlds championship
meet without the appearance of such
riders as Eddie" Bald, Earl Kiser,
Howard B. Freeman, Mcfarland, Kim
bic. and Cooper, who are controlled by
the National Cycling association. These
riders, according to records, are
faster than any foreign riders. In the
amateur ranks the National Cycling
association also controls the fastest
riders in the country.
The future of the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen, so far as its control OF
racing is concerned, rests with the de-
cision of the international association
in the request of the French associa-
ton to have the Canadian Wheelmen
accept National Cycling association
entries. A decision against the league
will practically settle the racing ques-
ton in this country.

were ordered from Pittsburg some
months ago, to be used in the transpor-

Baseball Men Think Owner Charges
Too Much.

It was asserted yesterday that the
Oregon Short Line-Rio Grande Western
game, scheduled for Saturday at Walker
field, would be called off. The players OBJ
ject 10 the 30 per cent tariff charged for
the use of the grounds by Mr.. Walker
and demand reduction of the rate. No
agreement was reached between the teams
and Mr.. Walker yesterday. Unless some
agreement is reached very shortly, base
ball is likely to die a natural death in
this city. Already much of the interest
of the local fans has waned and it will
take some lively ball to reawaken the
interest in the sport.
