would increase the attendance. This
is not criticism. merely a suggestion,
and the State Journal with the To-
pel1a fans would like to see the games
played in quicker time.
The Topeka fans do not know
what they missed Sunday, when the
and Mattick was peacefully settled
through the agency of Manager Dwy-
er. A secret concerning Umpire
Mullen's past has just been divulged
by Jack Haskell According to Jack.
Mullen was for four years in the
prize ring in Pittsburg, and during the
off seasons used to average bout al
most once week. In these four
years he never met his match, and
he had an open challenge to meet any
man who cared to oppose him who
could make 126 pounds at the ring
side. Mattick is somewhat bigger than
Mullen, but the little jumps with his
ring experience would have sprung
some surprises for the fans. Mattick
however, was not very anxious to
fight as he never attempted to until
Dwyer has him where he couldn't
PA" Rourke, commenting on the
heady men in the Western league, ac-
There are too many good men at the
head of clubs, for any of them to get
much of an advantage he said.
Take the Western league this year,
and outside of a couple of clubs, it
has as wise men at the head of it's
teams as there are in the country.
You are not going to find many who
know more about handling teams and
playing the game than your man Hol-
land, Cooley at Topeka, Holmes at
Sioux City. Fox at Lincoln, and Jones
at Denver. At least Jones ought to
know. He has played enough. Dwyer
at Des Moines is a grand ball player.
but he hasn't had the experience that
the others have had. He has a great
team but he doesn't seem to be get
ting the best out of them.''
Jack Haskell has recommended
Mullen to both of the big leagues.
Since coming to Topeka he has re-
ceived a letter from Ben Johnson say
ing that he would watch Mullen work.
Sometime ago Haskell recommended
him to Heydler, who was then acting
as head of the National league. If
the youngster can keep up his pres
ent lick he will be in line for promo
ton.

Decision Of interstate Com
merce Commission Helps
Manufacturers.
IT STOPS UNFAIR RATES

Local manufacturers expect to ben
efit BY the recent decision OF the inter-
state commerce commission which will
tend to put stop to discriminate
rates In favor OF Chicago shippers to
the west. The Rock Island railroad
II pointed out as the chief offender.
The ruling Of tho commission prevents
different rates being bestowed on man
ufacturers In and around Chicago than
those accorded shippers In the Indiana
gas belt and this city.
Tho railroads have divided the ter
ritory between Chicago and Cincin-
natl. The manufacturing plants To-
Gated IN what was designated Cincin-
natl territory have been charged high
er rates west Of Chicago than those To-
Gated nearer the Windy City in Chica-
90 territory. 1t is claimed the rates
charsed shippers from the Cincinnati
territory have been unfair and result
In detriment to factories.
