WATCH TIE BALL.

Copy. lght. 1908. by Edwin 4. Nye

WATCH TIE BALL.
George Stone. the fielder Of the St
Louis Browns. Is a keen observer OF
thciplayers.
He says the reason why SO many
baseball ball players fail to be good
batters IL because they persist In
watching the pitchers and fail to keep
their eyes on the ball.
Which observation contains some
good philosophy.
Many a man has failed OF success In
life because he has kept his eye on
what the other fellow il doing. instead
Of looking out for the main chance.
Watch the bali.

his time In watching the pitcher when
he ought to-
Watch the ball.
The good hitter gives scant attention
to the gyrations Of the pitcher. who is
oftentimes an adept hypnotist. The
good batter watches the ball. keeps his
eye on its angle. and when 1t comes
strictly his way he ''swats' It good
and hard. He may sometimes fail In

not often. He studies every chance

And when that ball comes right.

THE CUT IN FREIGHT RATES.

Last week the railroads serving Arizona announced a reduction in freight rates to all pointsi in the terri tory that has stirred merry news paper war at Phoenix, Tucson and other places in the territory. The newspapers of the cities named have been bristling with figures going to substantiate the assertion on one side that the reductions announced are in fact an advance in rates, and upon the other that they are real and, will benefit the people of Arizona. And every newspaper office in the territory seems to have evolved competent freight rate expert who knows all about it. Frankly THE OASIS confesses to a complete ignorance of the subject, but that is no reason why 1t should not proceed to befog the situation a little more.
 From what is gathered from the Tucson and Phoenix newspapers the situation is about this: Under the tariff schedules now in force there are in existence three systems of freight charges-a commodity rate, local class rate and a job bers rate favoring certain localities The commodity rate is upon car load lots; covering staple articles such as flour, hams and bacon sugar, lard, canned goods, etc. which is given from Eastern and California points to Tucson and Phoenix, Nogales and other places in Arizona. From the East-Kan. sas City, St. Louis, Chicago, etc. those commodity rates to Tucson Phoenix, etc., are much higher than to California points. The claim is made that a reduction on those rates has been and is yet de sired greatly, and that the proposed new tariff does not grant that de- sired reduction, which it is alleged if granted would reduce considera ply the cost of living in Arizona
