tests in years for the Star trophy cup. For

the o street school, and the Business and
Eastern athletes. realizing that there is but
a scant chance for themselves to pull out a

the Central score and boost the chances or
the West End and Manual Training boys.
Western and Technical have strong, we'll
balanced teams and Business counts on
scoring points in the half mile and mile.
90 yards hurdles and high jump Central
will probably score the majority or frsts,
but If the other four teams are as strong
as reported the dark blue and white Will
have to annex some seconds and thirds 10
secure a winning total.
The special 100 meters race has been
placed as the last event on the program IL

held during the week to consider the ques-
ton of purchasing suitable trophy for
this years champions. 1t seemed to be
the sense of the meeting that individual
badges, or buttons, would be about the
thing. 1t Is therefore probable that the

Various questions concerning the future
of the league were informally discussed at

up for definite action when the COM

such amendments of the playing rules be
made as to prevent the constant recurrence

marred the present seasons work. The
necessity for some such legislation Is UNI

Kelly invented the Chicago slide" which
was one Of the greatest tricks ever pulled
off. 1t was a combination slide twist and
dodge. The runner went straight down the
line at top speed and, when nearing the
base, threw himself either inside or out

and the hip. hooked the foot of the other
leg around the base, and pivoted on 1t.
stopping on the opposite side of the base.
Every player of the old Chicago team
practiced and perfected that slide and got
away with hundreds of stolen bases when
really they should have been touched out
easily. There are some modern players
who make the slide something as II was
done then. but Bill Dahlen of New York
really Is the only one in either big league
who executes 1t regularly and perfectly.
Elmer Foster a great base runner
after his style. He ran regardless of con-
sequences, and perhaps no man that ever
played in fast company ever took an extra

destination. and kept right on. When he
got caught he always said: Why,
wasn't bit tired Why should 1 have
stopped running?"
One day Foster was turning third try
ing to score from second on a short hit
when Billy Kuehne bumped him with his
hip threw him out into the grass and
forced him to stop. Elmer was wild. He
kept yelling, III be around here again"
The next time up he made two-base hit
and he never stopped at second, but dashed
on for third at top speed. The second
baseman. surprised, made a high throw to
third, and kuehne stretcheI to get the
ball just as Foster, leaping through the
air, landed on his chest with both feet
and kicked him half way to the grand
stand. Foster came home running back

Nervousness and sleeplessness are US

good for a whole lot of physical or mental
work. Best of all, the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most toncs and med
icines which have large, booming sale
for short time, is that they are largely
composed OF alcohol holding the drugs in

greatly Injuries the system. One may feel

FEAR TO TAKE FUTURE ORDERS
Shippers Tell Commission Car Stua-
ton Worries Them

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 21.-The inter-
state commerce commission car short
age hearing was resumed here this
morning.
H. D. Wilson, manager of the trans
portation department of the Kansas
City board of trade, said that Kansas
City grain men feared to accept flu
ture orders for fear of their inability
to get cars.
"In your opinion, has the car short
age had any effect upon the price of
grain to the people?" asked Commits
sioner Prouty.
at think it has" replied Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson said there were two
reasons for the present conditions
inability upon the part of the railroads
to keep the rolling stock in shape and
the train tonnage system. He said he
believed there should be some way to
prevent the discrimination of the rail-
roads against the second class" ship
pers, as the shipper of grain and hay
is known. The shipper of high class
freight" he said. had always been
given the first call on cars while the
grain, coal and cattlemen had to
wait"
Mr.. Wilson asserted that if there
was a free interchange between the
railroads it would lessen the car short
age. He believed that the shortage of
cars had produced material damage to
shippers.
r. c. Crosswhite, an elevator man
of Enid, Oklahoma, said with an ele-
vator full of grain he had only been
able to ship one car since October g..
For want of cars the farmers had
placed their grain upon the ground,
where it had rotted.

neutrality-suspicious. Such,
in brief, were the sentiments that
surged through the mind of a Los
Angeles Lithuanian yesterday evening
when the deputies at the county clerks
office refused to change a marriage
license which read Russia" to "Lith-
uania" And thereto hangs tale,
December IS Adolph S, Maskuns,
stalwart son of Lithuania, aged 80,
accompanied by the beautiful and
bulshing Maggie Wasilewska, who halls
from The same fair cline and tells
her age as ten years less than her
spouse-to-be, entered the chamber of
the blissful ones, better known at the
court house as room 10, and asked for
a marriage license.
They were accommodated in true
style and when it came time to sig
Nifty what land had been so blessed
named. Such being neatly inscribed
on the license by the firm hand OF
Deputy Watson the happy pair swore
TO the truth of the statement.
But when the couple tried to have
the "knot" tied, as the law DEGREES,
they met with a serious mishap. They
were actually accused of being Greek
Catholics because of the word RUSSIA
on their license; whereas in truth they
were the staunchest kind of Roman
Catholics; but lest error should re-
suit friend of the groom was dis
patched with all haste-plus the mar
raige license-to the court house to
have the Objectionable passage strick-
en- out and the word "Lithuania" in
scribed.
Here they got in wrong again. The
deputy clerks were obdurate and re-
fused. They had no country named
Lithuania on their official lists and
could not recognize it if Uncle Sam
| didn't. In vain the visitor argued that
Lithuania had been independent sew
enty years ago and even now was
struggling to regain her freedom. In
vain he pleaded and showed what a
stigma would attach to the couple if
it became known through the news
papers that the luckless ones were

sentiment, The unfortunate pair will
have to go before the priest and in the
! face of the whole world admit with
downcast gaze that they are subjects
of the Little White Father.

HEWITT PUSHES
SUBWAY WORK
C0NFERS WITH BOARD OVER
NEW ORDINANCES
Problem Of Flower Street and Vermont
Avenue Crossings Satisfactorily
Solved by the Officials
Interested

Subway legislation has advanced a
bit
Assistant City Attorney Leslie r.
Hewitt and me board of public works
have, 1t is understood, conferred over
the grade crossing proposition at Flow
er street and at Vermont avenue and
an understanding has been reached
What the result was all parties having
knowledge refuse to say, but 1t will
be incorporated in the ordinance to be
reported to the city council on Monday
afternoon.
with a proposed expenditure of five
millions by the Hartman interests In
carrying out their greater trolley sys-
tom project, engineers say that the
argument that storm drain along
Flower street prevents the depressing
of the tracks into Flower seems
puerile. The storm drain, they say,
can be moved for so vital a reason
as to give a safe crossing for hundreds
of fast-going trolley trains daily. Its
course can be DETECTED at no great
expense in the interest of public
safety.
Viaduct Preferred
If the tracks at that important point
are sunk only eight feet a viaduct can
be built overhead which will not mar
the vista, will not be difficult of cree
ton or approach and will obviate the
continual risk of surface crossings
Then, too, trains need not stop to avoid
collisions except on IL. A small de-
preston will not necessitate dropping
the floor of the subway very much
for its full length, hence no costly
hardship will be imposed.
Vermont avenue offers no difficult
engineering problems, the wishes of
the property owners in that district
being considered the paramount issue
They want fast cars, provided safety
is assured, it is stated to the board.
Forecast the Inevitable
The spirit of the Hartman repre-
sentatives is opposed to any radical
changes in the drafts of ordinances
they have prepared. 1t is understood
that they are willing to pay reasonable
compensation, will provide wagonways
and footways in the public tunnels,
though the claim is made that to make
these private areas public will defeat
the object in buying private land for
the purpose.
All employees of the companies in the
supply, mechanical and
executive departments seem to take it
for granted that the present city coun-
ell will tell them to go ahead and plans
are maturing to go to work as soon as
the rights are obtained.
The advent into office of a new mayor
and council seems not to have any
hearing on developments inside of Los
Angeles-Pacific and Interurban cir
cles.
