M|LL|NG|N TRANSIT
to Contemplate Stopping This
Privilege.

Chicago. Aug. 29.--The grain inter-
Ests Of the Board of Trade are greatly
over threatened ruling by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
with respect to the millingin-transit
Advance sheets of the COM
decision show conditions
which, if insisted upon, will wipe out
the privilege which the grain shipper
now has of stopping his grain at Chi
cago and milling it in transit.
The stoppage of this privilege
would mean the ruin of the milling in
dustry in this and in other cities and
would strike a severe blow at the
grain market and still severer blow
at the interior grain markets and mill
ing centers. The milling in transit
privilege has always carried with it
the right of substitution of grain I'M
der proper restrictions. The commls-
sion first declares that It recognizes
the impracticability of preserving til
identity of the grain and then FRO
ceeds to make it imperative that thi!
be done
A meeting of the TRANSPORTATION
committee has been called FOR Monda,
to consider what shall be done to in
duce the commission 10 change it
mind in the matter, 1t is understoo'
that grain men from rival marke

One OF the first duties OF the Young

secret of breadmaking, her breakfasts
will be robbed of terrors. for she
can learn to cook meat, eggs and po-
tatoes in a short time, though bread
baking is more perplexing. On cola
days il is advisable to use warm water
or milk when making biscuits, for cold
water has tendency to harden the
dough and it is more difficult to hand
lie, and biscuit dough should be soft.
Pie dough Is improved with cold IN

NR. RESIDE NOT AT FAULT
Was Invited 10 Represent Bankers
League at Meeting.
Owing TO Fact that President Wolf
Could Not Be Located,
He Attended.
- = - - -.

Spring Editor Tie W1sLins-ll Herald;
In an article regarding The Bankers
Baseball League In your sporting sheet
sunday under the caption ''Peuuant in
Doubt" there are several statements
which I would like 70 correct.
In the first place. no Misrepresentation
was made by the American Security and
Trust Company's baseball team or by
Nj. Reside as manager. and he only
attended the meeting OF the Amateur
Baseball Commission on my invitation as
temporary secretary Of the commission
IN order and only that the Bankers
League might be represented there.
l had never met Mr. Reside before.
but IN calling Up the American Security
and Trust Company 20 ascertain the ad-
dress OF the president OF the Bankers
League I was referred 20 him. and he
very courteously gave me the desired In
formation
l called up Mt Wolf. president Of the
Bankers Baseball League. twice, an left
word for him 10 call me up. but il seems
that he was out on business and I was
unable 20 set into communication with
him. The meetings Of the Amateur Com
mission were announced .n all the local
papers as well &C the fact that the Bank
ers' League would be recognized. but no
official from that league attended the
meeting
II now appears that they did not see
the announcements Failing TO locate
the president Of his league. I invited Mr.
Reside 10 be present II the next meet
ing 10 be held that evening.
Up 10 this time the officials Of the
Bankers League had made no move TO
play OF the postponed games TO deter
mine the winner. and on my motion
the American Security and Trust Com
pany team. which Is tied for first place.
was recognized to represent the Bank
ers' League in the post-season series for
the championship of the District OF
Columbia.
The whole matter arose through a mis-
understanding and the fact that officials
Of the Bankers League could not be
reached by phone and did not see the
call Of tie meetings in the papers. and
the invitation 10 them % attend. The
matter has now been adjusted so that
/ a series Of games will be played and the
winner determined by Wednesday. in
! time for the latter TO enter the post
| season series.
/ I make this statement that all con-
! cerned may have a clear view Of the
/ circumstances. H F. WORLEY.

Hats and coats were thrown into the air,

play could be resumed.
BriEhtwood forged TO the front and
scored what proved 20 be enough runs
to win the game after Mess had booted

two men up were easy outs. but Murphy,
who advanced 10 the bat. cracked out a
scorching liner, which landed Ahalt safe

WHITE SOX ONLY WESTERN
TEAM TO BREAK EVEN ON TRIP

The second Eastern invasion by the
Western clubs was a mighty disastrous
trip for the sunset teams. OF the sixty
eight games played. the East won forty
one and lost twenty-six, one game being
a tie played between Detroit and Wash
ington Saturday. having TO be called at
the end of the eleventh inning.
Cleveland's record is anything but a
proud one TO go back home with. Five
victories in nineteen games IS the total
sum, and three of the victories were
snatched in Washington. After this good
start it was expected that the Maps
would go along nicely. and the worst
to expect would be an even break But
the Athletics won four out Of five and
New York won three out OF four, while
Boston made a clean sweep.
