American League.
Per cent.

The first tournament and organiZa-
ton of the Western Bowling congress
at Spokane last week was a tremen-
dous success. There were delegates
present from five western cities-Salt
Lake, Seattle, Portland, Tacoma and
Spokane.
The Western congress did not really
secede from the American. The or
ganization of a western congress was
the Outgrowth of dissatisfaction over
the rumors which were put through
by eastern bowlers and the great ex-
pense attached to attending the tour
naments so far east.
The scores made by the bowlers
were Unexpectedly high. There were
only 40 entries in all the events, yet
one Milwaukee record where there
were far above a thousand entries re-
corded was smashed. Bernie Ryan
and H. Dittmer rolled up the splendid
ment, Dittmer's scores of 225. 225 and
204 being especially creditable. The
Milwaukee high record in the two men
events was 1918. In the five men team
event Andrew PawsaleK and II. c..
Tietje of Tacoma, and S. b. Kelly, H..
Dittmer and George Browne Of Spo-
kane, came within 65 pins of the prize
winners score at Milwaukee. c. NJ.
Anderson of st. Paul captured the in
dividual high score at the national
meet with 655, which is just one pin
more than Dittmer's record in the two
men event.

Fixing Railroad Rates

Making railroad rates is like play
ing game Of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided,
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for it's effect on
the general result by skilled traffic
managers. A false move in the max
ing OF freight rates may mean the
ruin of n city, of great manufactur-
ing interest, of an agricultural COM
munity. Railroads strive to build up
all these so that each may have an
equal chance In the sharp competition
Of business. So sensitive to this rival
ry are the railroads that in order to
build up business along their lines they
frequently allow the shipper to prac-
tically dictate rates. Rate-making has
been matter of development; of mu
tual concessions for mutual benefit.
That is why the railroads OF the Uni
ted States have voluntarily made
freight rates so much lower in this
country than they are on the govern
ment-owned and operated railways OF
Europe and Australia that they are
now the lowest transportation rates in
the world. Advertisement
