st. Louis beat Boston II TO 3. The
Chicago White Socks beat Washing
ton II To 6. The scores were big in
the American association, the West
ern and the Central leagues. While
some might attribute the showing to
the moon, it is likely that the sun
had mere to do with il than anything
else. The weather was cold and the
pitchers were not in condition.
Safe Bunts.
\ baseball expert had a column ar
ticle in Chicago paper last Sunday,
wherein he said: THE truth Of the
matter is the Bloomington team has
reduced team work to n science and
is playing the game for all it is
worth" Thanks. awfully; team work
to science is good. Please write an
other one next Sunday. Some
of the Bloomington team are good
players and nearly all CT them are
fierce scrappers. They evidently be-
lieve that a game can be partly won
by tall blufiinS. Certainly they did
their best to win by that method
here: which makes the victory all the
sweeter.-Cedar Rapids Republican.

RemarkabIe Game.

From more than one standpoint the
contest was extraordinary. Firstly, it
was II innings and = hours and p
minutes in duration, long enough to
test the endurance of an asbestos
man. Secondly, each team looked
winner as many times Us there were
innings. Thirdly, Davenport applied
its entire pitching force to stay the
Hood, yet WAS caught when the levee
broke in the nth and Il torrent of
tallies completely obliteratcd the
proud pets of Scott county. In all,
five pitchers were used during the
game. Hoag being replaced by Cad
wallader in the fifth. the former be
ing touched for seven runs in the
fourth, while for Davenport Stauffcrs
started. was replaced by Deller in the
seventh, and Hughes ended the agony
for Davenport. Who Davenport will
be able to rake up for today is
conundrum which is up to Capt.
Hines. allitcratively termed ''Hunky."

The Chicago papers call Davy Jones
brilliant automaton. His play is
favorably commented on, but his

Clinton, be it said to its credit, came
down with the necessary fund neces-

will be the Springfield team after the

take place when the team opens at

:. Write Brothers shipped some enor-
nous apples this week to Peck as a
sample Of what can be raised in the
Potlatch. Two of them filled an or
dinary shoe box ard they were of a
most beautiful crimson. They no
doubt attracted considerable attention.
White Brothers have purchased the
fruit of the Lewellyn orchard on the
Potlatch just above town. The fruit
of this orchard is of prime quality and
is some of the best this firm has yet
handled this year,
They are labelling all the fruit ship
ped from this point rs Kendrick fruit
besides putting the name of the indi-
vidual grower on each box. This is
something that this enterprising firm
is doing that deserves commendation.
Hitherto the fruit shipped from here
has always been labeled as coming
from Lewiston. 1t is good adver-
.lisement for us and our products and
White Bros will certainly gain favor
in this section by SO doing.

CHANGE is WANTED
IN THE ELMNS LAW
Interstate Commerce Commission
Seeks Power.

At a meeting OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission held this morning a
decision was reached to ask Congress
for a number of important amendments
to the Elkins law. The commissioners,
as a result OF the developments at the
hearings they have had during the sum-
mer In various sections OF the country
have come to a final conclusion that
the law is inefficient.
Chairman Knapp presided at the
meeting today, and there were no alb
sentees. After the discussion had led up
to the plan to appeal to Congress. the as
sertion was made that courts in their de-
cisions, have been shearing the commits
sion of power to such an extent that the
body today can do little more than make
suggestions.
Relief had been expected under the
EIkins law. but none came. When Con-
gress finished with the measure. it was
only a weak imitation of the original
bill. and since it's passage the courts
had practically rendered what was left
of the original measure void.
Naturally. the commissioners present
this morning condemned the results of
the operation of the law in the various
parts of the country. and all then came
to unanimous conclusion on one point.
which is to be pressed upon Congress.
The point is one sure to be fought
fercely by the railroads Under exist
ing law, the commission is compelled
TO bear the burden of moving charge.
