AN INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE
Now Said 1t May Be Necessary to
Abolish Traffic Associations.

The searchlight of the Interstate
commerce commission Is to be thrown
upon all the traffic associations of the
railroads. 1t is undoubtedly the opin-
ion of the commission, as well as Of
many others, that all these associa-
tions as now conducted are in direct
violation of the antitrust law, and the
railroads will be asked to decide
whether they will open the doors OF
the associations to the public or
abolish them.
That traffic associations are without
legal standing is practically declared
by the commission in a recent ruling
to continue their present method of
filing freight and passenger tariffs
through the associations. Hereafter
every road is required to file independ-
emily with the commission every new
tariff, even if the same tariff has been
adopted by all competing roads as the
result of an agreement reached in a
meeting Of a traffic association.
The railroads have made strenuous
efforts since the passage Of the Hep
burn amendment to the interstate
commerce law to have another amend
ment passed by congress legalizing the
making of rates in traffic associations.
AS this would simply legalize any pool
ing arrangement the roads might want
to make, the effort to have congress
pass such a law has been so far a
failure.
Few railway men believe they can
ever get such a law through congress
because of the popular prejudice
against the pooling of railway earn
ings, with the inevitable result of kill
ing all competition so far as rates are
concerned, and of removing all In
centive for any railroad to improve its
service in order to get a larger share
Of competitive traffic.

THE TURK FoULED o'BRIEN.
Philadelphia Jack Injured by a Blow
! Low i'm the Abdomen. ~ .s.1

Los Angeles. Feb. 23.-Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien was injured by Abdul
Malgam in the fifth round last night
and was SO badly injured that he was
unable to continue the fight. The
clubs physician examined O'Brien and
refused to let him go on. The referee
awarded the fight to O'Brien and de-
clared all bets off. O'Brien had agreed
to stop three men-Abdul Malgam,
Jim Tremble and George Brown-in
six rounds each. He took on Malgam
first. The fight was a huge farce all
the way through. O'Brien battered
the Turk all over the ring and had
him covered with gore. The Turk did
not strike a decisive blow that landed
until the one with which he fouled
O'Brien. O'Brien had Malgam in
corner and was hammering him with
vicious rights when the Turk swung a
wild right that struck O'Brien low in
the abdomen. The Philadelphia sank
to his knees holding his stomach and
gasp1ng for breath. O'Brien's injury,
while severe, is not serious.

Financiers Seem to Think Re-

Manufacturers and Business Men
Say Action Should Be Fair.
Gossip and Matters Of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

ST Louis, Mo-, Feb. 23.-Financiers
and business men join with railroad
officials in giving warning that the
present agitation against the railroads

cial depression or bring some INJURY Oh

lation or official procedure winch
would minimize the faith of investors
in railroad securities would prevent
the roads from obtaining funds for nee
essary improvements and addltlonal
motive power and equipment, and, as
a consequence, the facilities would re-
main inadequate for handling heavy
traffic.
1t is pointed out that many roads
were unable to move last years traf-
fic expeditiously. This deficiency caus-
ed great losses to farmers, merchants,
rnanufa cturers and practically all ship
pers The railroads lost revenue
through their inability to handle the
traffic offered to them. The shippers
lost money as a consequence of the
failure of many lines to render salts
This years traffic promises to be as
heavy as last years. Until autumn, at
least, the volume of freight Will be
large The volume of traffic after Sep
tember will depend on the agriculture
production. If the crops are largo
this years freight movement should
according to present indications, be as
great as last years. if not, possibly
greater.
Manufacturers and business men are
now supporting the railroads in advis-
ing that action should be fair in mo-
tive. policy and determination. Ship
pers do, of course, insist that discrim-
nations and abuses should be elimin-
ated from railroad rates and methods.
Most of the leading railroad officials
seem to have arrived, or to be arriv-
ing. at the same opinion.
But a feeling is growing that pro-
cedure against the railroads should not
take the form of oppression. Regula-
ton can be made just as injurious and
iniquitous, it is asserted, as lack of
regulation. The railroads should be
compelled to do their duty, but the
procedure to make them respect their
obligations should not be so misguided
as to tend in an opposite direction.
If the service must be all that ship
pers and passengers need, and more,
the sources of revenue, cannot be re-
duced Decreases in rates and fares
with increases in salaries, could have
the effect CT Gripping the roads fin
ances to such an extent as to prohibit
improvements and degrade the service.
The freight could not be moved last
year Improvements cannot be made,
! and new motive power and equipment
cannot be purchased, for handling the
traffic if legislation and official proceed
ure force the companies into a pass
closing them off from securing funds.
The freight congestion would be as bad
as last year. and shippers, as we'll as
the railroads. would suffer great losses

pressed by financiers and business men

HANDSOME SCORE CARDS.
Walter BoIes VIII Look After the
Make Up for Topeka'S Club

Arrangements have been made in re-
gard to the printing of the score cards
which will be used at the ball games
at Association park this season. The
arrangements which have been made
provide for a score card which will be
more elaborate than anything ever used
in the Western Association and such
as very few teams in the west use.
The pennant winners of last season
will be run in every score card during
the season in the form of a whole page
half tone cut. The individual players
of the team will also appear, one OF
them on every page. The best cuts
which can be obtained will be used and
they will be handsome affairs. A space
will be reserved for the lineup of each
team during each game and the stand
ing of the different teams will also APP
pear daily together with the schedule
for the balance of the season. The
cards will not be sold but will be dis
tribute6 among the fans daily.
Last season the cards were managed
by Jack Henry, the catcher of the team.
This season this privilege has been given
to Walter Boles, the popular young
pitcher Of the team, who will attempt
to work the cards up to the ideal which
the owners of the team desire.

TO CURB PLAYERS
The American League Hopes to
Abolish Special Contracts.
Would Put Everybody on an
Equal Money Basis.
JOHNSON FAVORS 1T.
No Remuneration to Winning
Pitchers" Clause to Go.
A Paragraph Along Temperance
Lines May Be Inserted.
SUNDAY.

Chicago. Feb 23.-It became known
Yesterday that the American league Is
contemplating abolishing special con-
tracts with ball players, putting every
body on an equal basis in the amount
of money each one receives. 1t is pro-
posed that in the future all clauses
relating to good service" such as eA-
ira remuneration to winning pltche['
the maximum game clause Will
catchers and so on, shall be cut out.
There is a possibility that one spe-
ciaI clause will be retained. the one re-
Iating to good conduct" or. as 1t IS
known, the Temperance clause. 1t is
believed by some that the last named
IS necessary with certain players in or
der to insure the best service In all
other cases, however, it is believed that
a contract without any strings VIII
serve the best interest of the league.
The fact that a number of star play
ers are hanging back refusing to sign
unless certain stipulations are 1ncor-
porated in the contracts is said to be
back of the new move. 1t is quite like
" that the National league will also
adopt a similar rule. as players in both
seem to be acting more or less in con-
cert. --,--.---
that the proposition would come up at
the meeting in New york.
"All special contracts, to my mind,
should be abolished said Mr.. john
son. 1ney 90 DuI 1t
isn't right. to my way of thinking, that
a player should be promised something
extra when he is supposed to do the
best at all times. At the end of the
season every player who has condi-
tional contract faVoring himself is
positive that he fulfilled conditions
and if he doesn't get everything which
he things is coming to him he will try
to get it back the next season. am
strongly in favor of doing away with
all except straight contracts, and 1
hope it will be put through"
President Comiskey of the white sox
is looking for another prosperous sea-
son in baseball. Yesterday he let the
contract for bleachers in the right field
of the South Side ball park, which will
seat 5000. He will move the present
first base bleachers back and convert
them into a covered section, which will
mean that It will cost so cents f. throN
pop bottles from that locality. The new
bleachers will be placed back where
the autos were STALLED" last year
Boxes will be placed on the roofs of
both the first and third base covered
stands. while the boxes on the grand
stand will be abolished.

GOTHAM BILLIARD MATCH.
Great Interest i'm the Coming Amateur
Contest.

New York, Feb. 23.-Not since the
days when Wayman McCreery, Wilson
P. Foss and Martin Mullen were the
top notchers has there been such inter-
est in the amateur billiard champion
ships as has been aroused by the I'M
certainty which attaches to the ma
tional tournament which begins at the
Liederkranz club March 4.
An important change in the entry
list has been made. This narrows the
field down to seven men. The new list
includes Edward Gardner of Passaic,
N. j.; Calvin Demarest and Charles F.
Conklin, Chicago Athletic club; Morti-
mer S. Rolls. Philadelphia; ]. Ferdi-
nand Poggenburg, Liederkranz club,
New York; DR.. L. l.. Mial, New York,
and ]. DeMun Smith, st. Louis.
Smiths entry is regarded as an i'm
provement in the class of the tourna-
ment. He is hardly of championship
caliber in that his nerves are none too
steady in match games, especially
against strong safety player, but he
undoubtedly possesses more class than
either of the Cleveland men who re-
tired.
Gardner will arrive here from Chi
cago next week and will divide his
practice between Maurice Days and
Morningstar's rooms.

AFTER NEW AUTO MARK.
Milwaukee Notorist to Try to Drive
1908 Car 1000 Miles.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.--Van Evra Mar
tin a young Milwaukee motorist, has
plate a 1,000-mile nonstop run with a
3-year-old Rambler touring car. Be
fore the close of his trip he expects to
reach Chicago. Mayor Sherburn M.
Becker cranked the two-cylinder en-
CINE of the car and the motor will
not be allowed to come to a halt until
the specified distance has been COM
pleted.
Mr. Martin is said to have a consid-
cradle sum at stake on the ability of
the car, which was built in 1904, and is
rated at eighteen horse power, to equal
the performance of the new cars of
much higher power and greater num-
Der of cylinders. The car has 1000
miles of travel to it's credit.

LEWIS TO HUTCHINSON.
The Catcher Who Was With Okla
hOma Now Salt Packer

Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. al. c.
Lewis. who held down the backstop
position all last season for Oklahoma
City, is now Salt Packer. A deal has
just been closed whereby Lewis was
purchased from the management in
the metropolitan town. 1t was due
greatly to the playing of Lewis that
Oklahoma City stood so high in the
percentage column last year and year
before. In the six games that he pIayed
in Hutchinson last year he made but
one error out of thirty-six chances.
Another new addition has been
made to the Salt Packer pitching staff.
The new pill roller is named Dalquist
and comes from st. Paul This makes
nine pitchers on the list of twirIers for
the local team.
