sTICKNEY sIMPIIFIEs RATES
Great western President at Work on
Ocean to Ocean Schedule.

A.. B. stickney, president of the Great
Western road, is working on a joint
schedule Of freight rates to cover the
territory between the oceans to be as
easily understood and simple as the
Minnesota schedule which he recently
issued.
Mr., stickney is convinced that there
must be uniform classification agreed
upon by all the roads. He believes that
congress should confer on the interstate
commerce commission the specific au-
thority to make such classification.
Said Mr. Stickney:
Today some articles start from New
England, as, say, fourth class, under
the official classification, and are car
ried at that class and rate, in some
cases, as far as Chicago, in others as
far as the Mississippi river, and in others
as far as st. Paul or Kansas City. There
they change classes and classification
and rates, which presents a combination

Mr.. Stiekney is also curinga defect
in the Minnesota schedule by printing
a distance table showing the distance
between all stations to which the dis
tance table Of rates applies.

PITCHER MASON
GOES TO CINCINNATI

CINCINNATI. Ohio, August 21.-Another
name is on the Cincinnati roster for next
year-that Of Del Mason, crack right -hand
twirler Of the Baltimore Orioles. The deal
by which he is secured was closed yester-
day after short conference between Man
ager Hugh Jennings of the Baltimores and
President Hermann of the Reds.
Hermann held options on Mason and
Burchell, the latter a southpaw twirler Of
Baltimore. but he decided not to take
Burchell, and gave up his option on that
player. The reports Of Mason's work are
so glowing. however, that Hermann did
not hesitate long on deciding to make the
deal for him.
There is more or less mystery connected
with Hughey Jennings flying visit to Red
land. He arrived Sunday evening and left
yesterday noon. and it is certain that the
Mason and Burchen deals were not the
cause Of his journey. as the negotiations
for those two pitchers could just as easily
have been handled by wire or mail.
Manager Jennings did not discuss the
main object Of his visit to Cincinnati, but
it is believed that he is anxious to secure
Capt. Joseph Kelley to manage the Balti-
more club next season. It Is pretty certain
that Hugh himself will take hold Of an
American League club In 1907, and he must
have capable successor at Baltimore.
President Hermann would not stand in
the way OF any proposition that would
benefit the captain Of the Reds.
It has been rumored for some time that
Jennings would be the manager for the
Boston American League Club in 1907. Jen-
nings has not said that the rumor was true.
neither has he denied 1t. Indications point
the way the story goes. or c-fo
1t has been known for months that Jen-
nings was dissatisfied with his Job at Balti-
more. He has asserted that the Baltimore
public is too severe on the players when
they play bad ball. and he has not been
slow or quiet upon this matter. The
chances are, however. that Hughey has
leagues, IL not as player, as a manager.
and 1t Is possible he is about to do SO.
The Baltimore public likes him. and there
will be but few who will not wish him sue
cess II the proposed deals are carried
through.

CONFIDENT OF WINNING

NEW YORK. August 21.-"Well. we're In
the lead. and that's everything at this stage

Jones. land. as the records show. we top

hdence is the main standby. and when the

Many things are liable to happen in pen

us out. and that Is Detroit, which has made

victory over the Highlanders put US on top.

ing yet"
When the query was propounded whether
he would like to see the Cubs land the other
championship. Jones said he assuredly did
wish for such an outcome. and he con-
sidered that the outlook in the National
League was all in favor Of Manager
Chance. owing to the preponderating lead
Of that team. There was only one parallel
where two championships were held by ono

THREATEN TO
QUIT THE GAME

PORTLAND, Ore. August H-An unex-
pected hitch has arisen in the negotia-
tons to secure Pitcher William Essick and
Catcher Larry Mclean for the Cincin-
natl Reds. The tangle is a financial one.
Both players demand more OF the purchase
price than Judge w. w. Incredible. own
er Of the Portland team, is willing to give
them.
1t is understood that Cincinnati pays
81 800 for each, and Judge McReddie offers
them $500 apiece, but both are holding out
for half the $3.50. They claim they had
an agreement whereby they were to get
half the purchase price in case they were
sold to a major league team.
Both threaten to leave the game alto
gether before they will accept the present
terms. Essick is especially emphatic in his
protests. and says he will give up base ball
Immediately unless his demands are ac-
cepted. Nevertheless It Is believed that the
sale will be concluded, and that the best
battery on the coast league will go to Gin
cinnati next year.

The downpour Of rain yesterday after
noon made the grounds SO muddy that 1t
was decided to call Off the game between
Washington and Cleveland and play
double-header today instead. The game
yesterday could have been played. but the
slippery ground made 1t dangerous for both
teams and as neither aggregation has an
extra number of utility players just now.
It was thought best to take no chances.
Today being ladies day and the great
Cleveland aggregation as an attraction, the
double-header drew out big crowd. sew
eral hundred being on hand when the
gates were opened at 1 o'clock.
The Washington team took the field in
something like its old-time form this aft
ernoon, Stahl being back on first and

man back in right field. the Nationals pre-
scented a strong front to the Clevelands.
The special from Cincinnati telling Of the
signing Of Pitcher Mason will be sad news
to the local fans Del Mason had all the
earmarks of coming pitcher two years
ago when with the Washingtons. and only
needed a minor league training to make
him fit for fast coming. This training
Mason has had In Baltimore. and as Gin
cinnat has first call on all the Oriole play
ers. he was naturally selected by President
Hermann for his Red aggregation. WASH
ington has been trying for Mason for some
time. and had second call on his services.
but under the Baltimore-C Cincinnati ar
rangement he slipped through our fingers.
Mason will prove a great find for the Reds.
as he improved wonderfully this year. and
Is easily the best twirler In the Eastern
League. Manager Stahl ran over to see

urday. but the best he could do was to get
assurances that Mason would go to Wash
