SPORTING SLDELIGHTS

With the advent of host of
young players into the major
leagues this fall the old timers are
seeking out cosy manag erial hooks
in the minors. Few of the men
who were stars as recently as five
years ago will play prominent parts
I'm the big league shows next
season.
Two very well known heroes of
days gone by who are reported to
have picked out berths in slower
company are Jimmy Collins, peer
of any third baseman in his day,
and Kid Gleason, a thirdsacker sec
ond to few. Collins, it is said, will
manage the Buffalo team of the
Eastern league, while Gleason is
said to be slated for the managerial
job at Des Moines, in the Western
league. Gleason has been a sort of
assistant manager of the Philadel-
phia Nationals, and Billy Murray
values his services highly, but the
Kid would rather be boss of a team
of his own.

Only 7,069,122 people paid to see
ball games in the major leagues
the past season. The American
again outdrew the National, but not
so heavily as in 1907. That corking
finish in the older league had the
bugs going some in the fall
months. Figures were: American
3,554,S37, against 3,39S,764 last
] year; National 3,514,2S5, against
2,737,793 last season.
There are % minor leagues in
the country. The attendance at
their combined games is a little
hard to estimate, but it is probably
safe to say that from 20,000,000 to
25,000,000 was the total base ball
attendance of the season, meaning
an expenditure of somewhere
around $4,000, 900 or S12,000,OOO.

Contractor Sims had warned the fame
lily repeatedly to move out, but 1t in
sistently refused and he himself had
been ordered by Inspector Beck to re-

supposed to have been caused by the
heavy rains of Sunday, which under

giving time for the removal of all save

The baby, who was sleeping in his

That the Department of Justice and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will not relent in warfare on rail-
road Relating because of the elmina-
ton of President Roosevelt in March
next, was made evident by a statement
given out in Washington by Commits
sioner Lane, who conducted the Chesa-
peake and Ohio examination in Feb
ruary last. In this connection 1t Is
interesting to note that, according to
Washington advices the President
read the evidence secured by the com
mission before it was sent here to
District Attorney Lewis to be presented
to the Federal grand jury. What he
thought about it was not made public,
though he is understood to have urged
speedy action by the United States
courts.

from the political field by the nomi-
nation of Secretary Taft will not cause
cessation of the prosecution of the
transportation companies for violation
of the railroad rate law" said Com
missioner Lane. This commission has
the power to call on the United States
district attorneys throughout the coun-
try to secure indictments of railroads
for granting rebates. Indictments are
now being brought and others will be
framed when it is found that the law
Is being violated. Every railroad man
in the country knows it is unsafe to
grant rebates; that the law will be
enforced, and that pull Will BIO value
less.
Before the enactment OF the Hep
burn bill the commission decided cases
only when complaints We're brought
but now under our general rulings
many rates are adjusted to the salts
faction of the shippers. This is an
administrative body and not judicial
one, and We are now considering this
question of summary method of en-
forcing compliance with the rule OF
the commission regarding the reduc-
ton of through rates to the local rate.
In few months, through the ef-
forts of the commission, a uniform bill
of lading will be adopted by the rail-
roads Within two years there will be
a uniform classification of rates.
new scheme for granting re-
bates has been discovered by the COM
mission and a remedy Is being sought
to break 1t up. The scheme is to mis-

MENT TODAY WHEN Won BUE-

Berlin, Jan. 22-Chancellor Won
Buelow refused categorically, In the

socialist Interpolation on the subject
of Prussian suffrage and this pre-
cipitated aedeafening uproar from the
members, during which all the
ministers left the house. The debate
was then !: continued before half
empty benches. The trouble with the
people has been expected, particularly
in view Of the street disorders yester-
day, and in order to be prepared for
a recurrence of the violent encounters
between the police and populace the
buildings of parliament were sur
rounded from early morning with a
strong force of police, armed with
pistols and sabres. Furthermore the
principal thoroughfares of Berlin are
being patrolled constantly by the
police.
The Interpolation was very skill
fully worded in order to bring 1t with
in the official authority OF the reich
stag. Won Buelow opened the pro-
ceedings by warning against further
manifestations which, he declared,
did not affect the government in the
slightest degree. He threatened
amid ironical cheering from the
socialists that the leaders and organi-
zers of the demonstrations would be
dealt with severely.
