1t Is interesting in this connection
to note the progress of the two-cent
fare rate in recent years. Adverse
legislation" as railroad presidents are
prone to term the recent legislation
along railroad lines has been started
in twenty states. Six of the twenty
states have but taken preliminary
steps towards two-cent fare rate
while two cents a mile is the legal
rate in the other fourteen states. Fol-
lowing Is a little information regard

In Alabama there Is a fixed rate of
two and one-half cents per mile on
all roads aggregating over one hun
dred miles in length. This rate Is in
effect pending the determination of
the constitutional queustions which are
involved by the state supreme court.
Arkansas has a fiat rate of two
cents per mile which has been in eff
feet since April 8. The Rock Island
md Frisco roads however have re-
used to recognize this rate and are

Indiana has within the past year

Iowa has reduced fare rate which

Chicago, Nov 22-The one great re-
manning game in the west of this year S
football season will be played Saturday
between Chicago and the Carlisle In

tionably to be the premier gridiron ag-
gregatiOn among western colleges the

% unbeaten. Prior to Saturdays de-
feat at the hands of Pennsylvania
there was a chance for dispute as to
western honors between Chicago and
Michigan, but if Chicago defeats the
Indians or plays them on small score
after the Indians defeated Pennsylva-
mia by the score of 26 to 6, it will show
sity of Michigan, because the Univer-
sylvania by the score of to 0. In
comparing the relative strength of the
two elevens, Carlisle excels the Maroons
in punting and it is admitted the In
dams have a stronger line, although
the Indians may be the best punters
Chicago has a larger variety of kicks
that are expected to puzzle the Red
Skins. There Is little doubt that Coach
Stage will instruct his men to rely on
the open game and use their speed. 1t
is an adage in the east that to beat the
Red Skins team must throw them off
their feet in the first ten minutes. The
picture shows Chicago's full football
squad with Captain Detray in the CEN
ter with the ball. This is probably the
champion western team of the season.

and the chances are more than even
that Robert will be used in a trade.
Grimshaw will be retained, and one of
the new men, probably Cravath, the
hard-hitting outfelder from Los An
geles, will be given a tryout at first, as
he has played the position at different
times.
There will be no change in the Tenny
situation until the league meeting in
New York next month. New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and St. Louis
might use the clever Boston first base
man and they have players that Dovey
might consider in a trade. St. Louis
might offer Tenny the management of
the club and play him at first base,
while Boston could use a first-class
catcher like Phelps, of Pittsburg, or
Bresnahan, of New York.

COAST LEAGUE WANTS WOOD.
Hutchinson Pitcher May Not Go to
Kansas City After All

Hutchinson, Nov. 22.-Joe Wood, the
kid pitcher of the Salt Packers last
season, may not go to Kansas City next
year after all. The Portland, Ore,
team of the Pacific Coast league has
sent in a draft for Joe and may yet
get him. It will be remembered that
F'leharty was also sold to Kansas City
but Cincinnati took him on a draft.
OF course there is a difference in the
two cases as Cincinnati has a major
league team while Kansas City and
Portland are in the same class leagues.
However, rule has been made where
by sales of ball players to escape the
draft must be made before September
1. The sale of Wood, Casey and Petit
grew to Kansas City was made during
September. This may be applied to all
three of these players. In that case
Wood goes to Portland while Casey and
Pettigrew would return here.

When President Roosevelt signed
the proclamation admitting Oklahoma
and Indian territories into statehood
another state was added to the large
number of western states in which a
two-cent passenger rate is In opera
ton. At the present time through the
central and southern portions of the
United States there are fourteen states
which enjoy traffic on passenger trains
at the rate of two cents per mile. At
the present time there are but two
states which are touched by Kansas
railroads which. are on the old three
cent basis. Texas and Louisiana.
In regular order this year, Missouri
Kansas and Oklahoma have put two
cent rates into effect. In each case
the western roads have felt the touch
upon their pocketbooks. 1t has also
made matters very exacting upon the
passenger department. First they
were confronted with the proposition
of revising their tariffs so that the
Missouri two-cent rate would be
effective not only in Missouri, but also
that the Missouri two-cent rate should
be used in connection with the three
cent rate in tariffs between points in
Missouri and all other stations on the
Santa Fe. No sooner was this COM
pleted that the railroads were forced
to revise their schedules to include
the Kansas two-cent rate in Kansas
traffic and in interstate between Kan
sas points and those in other states.
Now they are just beginning to re-
wise their tariffs for the third time
this year SO as to include the new two
cent rate of Oklahoma.
In Texas the agitation for a two
cent fare rate is very strong and it is
not improbable that the two-cent
rate will be effective in the Lone Star
state before many moons. Should
this be done it will necessitate an
other change in short time. So
great has the work of revising tariff

The husband or wife,
