Since the foul strike rule went
into effect it has been accepted
theory among ball players that it
does not pay to wait out" a
pitcher.
The players work on the SUPPOSE
ton that if they take the first ball
pitched and it is a strike, which is
the case many times, and then hap
pen to foul the next one, they
really have two strikes called be-
fore they get set at the plate.
When opposed to a pitcher who
has good command, this is quite a
handicap to the hitter. With this
state of affairs most clubs have dis
carded the method of making the
pitcher go the route and usually
offer at the first good ball pitched.
While this system is generally
used by all major league clubs,
there is one team in the American
league that still makes it point to
go the limit with all the pitchers it
faces during the season. This team
is the White Sox.
Comiskey's club has been rightly
dubbed the "hitless wonders" and
to one who is not thoroughly con-
versant with it's style of play, it is
a constant source of wonder how
the Sox are able to win games on
so few hits.
In the first place Fielder Jones
has always been fortunate enough
to have had grand pitching staff,
and this, coupled with Sullivan's
mastery work behind the bat and
the fact that the Sox are good on
the defense, makes it hard to score
runs against them.
But how do they manage to score
runs by so little damage with the
bat? The first six men in the bat
ting order, Hahn, Jones, Isbell,
Dougherty, Davis and Parent, GER
tainly make a twirler pitch to the
limit to get them. The first two
always seems to have two strikes
before they seriously think of offer
ing at one.
While the other four may not be
so adept at making the pitcher go
the route, they are always, trying
to work him for a walk.

raised and that it proposed to continue

II use this as an illustration TO show

He gave several other instances
illustrative of the gas engineers ten

regarding depreciation IN value and ac-
tual physical value. The repairs and

1T should come from either stock OF

Mr.. Good. 1T should not come from the

In reply to another question the Iowa
Representative said he thought an
auJitor to examine into the company's
affairs and scrutinize it's reports each
year would be an excellent thing. He
also favored the public utilities COM
mission idea.
He took little stock in the plea that
Georgetown companies an immense
amount to increase the supply of coal

gas apparatus could be used. he said,
and as the plant was increased the coal
gas apparatus could be added, thus rid
ding the supply Of too much poisonous

Judson c. Welliver saw in the latest
move of the gas companies nothing
more nor less tnan a plan to allay pub

making a small concession TO % popular

that at the next session of Congress the
gas companies would come ;soldly pro-
claiming their magnanimity and askiE 8
the privilege TO recapitulize therefore.
The price can be reduced 10 cents, con-
tends Mr. Welliver.
He urged the Chamber not 10 slacken
its investigation and to demand a
deep prote of the entire situation. Es-
pecially emphatic was his declaration
that the company now needed watching

gested that the chamber frame
