President Comiskey of the Chicago

following interesting observation:

borne in mind-a right.hand batter

runs than lefthand batter. For that
reason the fourth and fifth men in the
list should be right-handers in WELD.

Employees of the Local Banking
Houses Meet In Conflict on the
Diamond Wednesday

In a run getting contest at Webb
park yesterday the employees of the
State banks jereated the employees of
the National banks of the city by a
score of 80 lnI 16.
The contest was replete with side
splitting performances and with bril-
liant plays. Cashier Dave Lincoln OF
the Nationals won everlasting fame
by his great bS sc running. Spectators
and players alike declare that Lincoln
slid thirty fe': on one occasion and
almost as far on several others.
Billy Schaffner of the State bank
crowd was all over center field spear
ing drives that seemed tagged for ex-
ira bases. Ben NAPLES in right field
gave the onlJOkers a few points on
how to cover the garden. Ben Is
thinking of writing a book on how to
play right field and presenting 1t to
one Red Farrell.
Fisher seCu cd the longest drive. a
home run, the bali going to the
fence. Gus EGmondson played a
great game on the bench.
Diligent inquiry developed the fact
that all of the coin handlers are at
work today, hut IT is stated on good
authority that most of them would
rather not be. The score keeper is
suffering with laralysis of the right
mitt and has to figure the interest to-
day with his left hand.

ment to have started on the roof of one
of a row of three cottages, where some
boys threw some firecrackers. From
this cottage the flames spread to the
other two and also to two-story
frame building used as barber shop
and rooming house, which adjoined the
cottages. The numbers of the houses
were SO2, S021a, S06 and $40 Buena Vista.
The flames had spread rapidly and
when the department arrived were
threatening to do considerable damage.
Joe Mast Louis Bruno, Dominique To-
risco and their families, who lived in
the upper part of the two-story frame,
rushed down the narrow stairway
leading to the back yard as the suffo-
eating smoke piled into the upper halls
of the building, barely escaping with
their lives. S. J. Miller. the owner of
the barber shop in the lower part of
the building, saved his fixtures.
The loss on this building and con-
tents is estimated at $1100.
The cottages which adjoined the two
story frame were cheap affairs and the
loss is covered by insurance. All Of
the property destroyed was owned by

WOODROW WILSON URGES
ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS
AGAINST BIG CORPORATIONS
BY Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, July 4.-Governor
Hughes of New York and Woodrow
Wilson, president of Princeton univer-
sity, were the orators of the day at the
joint Independence day celebration and
first annual reunion of the lineal de-
scendantS of the signerS of the Declar-
alton of Independence at the James,
town exposition today, the descendants
reunion being held under the auspices
of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial as
sociation, of which former Secretary
of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert is the
acting president.
The singing of Columbia" and other
patriotic songs preceded the addresses.
President Wilson said in part:
"One really responsible man in Jail,
who is the originator of the schemes
and transactions which are contrary to
the public interest, legally lodged in
the penitentiary, would be worth more
than thousand corporations mulcted
in fines if the reform is to be genuine
and permanent.
"What this country needs" Mr.. Will
son set forth, 'is not government own
ership of the railroads, ETC., but laws
that will attack and punish presidents
and general managers of the railroads
for evasions and evolutions of the
statutes"
Stock manipulations he calls "sheer
theft" and says they should be pun
ished as SUCH Failure to do so. in his
mind, is like overlooking highway rob-
berry.
Every corporation" the educator
stated, '1s personally directed either by
some one dominant power or by some
group of persons. Somebody in power
is responsible for ordering or sanction
ing every illegal act committed by its
agents or officers; but neither our law
of personal damage nor our criminal
law has sought the responsible persons
out and hold them accountable for the
acts complained of. We have never at
tempted such statutes. We indict cor
porations themselves, find them guilty
of illegal practi; es, fine them and leave
the individuals who devise and execute
the illegal acts free to discover new
evasions."
Such acts could be passed and should
be If we are to better our lndustrlal
conditions, Mr.. Wilson believes. Un-
less something of this nature Is done
and done quickly he fears socialism Will
result.
"It is only in this way" he said,
"that we can escape socialism. Unless
we can single out the individual again
and make him only more the subject
and object of law we shall nave TO
travel still further upon the road
of government regulation which we
have already Travelled so far. and that
road leads to state ownership"
President Wilson said that it IS JUST
as absurd to indict or dissolve corpor-
ations for offenses against the public
as 1t would be to arrest and contiscate
automobiles because their owners
killed pedestrians. If the individual is
made responsible. he is convinced, the
difficulty will be solved.
