Cynics Of the West.

Brokers having correspondence connec-
ton with Oklahoma and Kansas report a
degree OF hostile cynicism in that part of
the world with regard to the Rockefeller
proposition to go into partnership with
the government in the management OF q
huge humanity uplift fund. These west
ern correspondents intimate that Mr..
Rockefeller and his associates have been
playing it low down on the OH producers
of Oklahoma and Kansas by keeping up
the price of petroleum until tens of mil
lions Of dollars have been spent in de-
velopment, and then of dropping the
price of oil so they could buy in the ue-
veloped property at red-f1ag figures, there
by getting money with which to fatten
the Rockefeller Foundation. All of which
street about which there is passing COM
ment.
Now that Thomas F. Ryan's control
Of the Equitable Life Assurance Com
pany and OF the New York traction
companies has passed over to the J. +.
Morgan syndicate there has been some
talk as to what will become OF Theo
dore p. Shonts and Paul Morton, who
were transplanted from Washington TO
New York largely because Of their init
mac! with the then incumbent Of the
White House. The latest tip is that both
OF these gentlemen will be retained In
their present official capacities. even
though the insurance company be turn
ed over to the policyho lders and the
street car lines be retained by the Nor
gan interests. 1t is not certain by any
means that Mr.. Shonts will care to stay
in New York. at least as the head OF
the traction companies, but for account
Of Mr.. Morton 1t may be said that he Is
entirely unlikely to voluntarily let so
of that s80,00O-a-year job. At the mo-
ment he has nothing else in sight that
would pay him more than that amount.
With Mr. Shonts 1t is different. His as
ISOLATION with Mr.. Hawley really de-
mands his attentions elsewhere. And
then it cost him a good deal of money
to tie up with Ryan. When he came to
this city he Is said to have bought
heavily into the street car stock and TO
have lost several hundred thousand
dollars on the speculation.

Pool Is Booming.

NEW YORK, March 12.-That since the
worlds pool championship in this city be-
tween Tom IIueston and Jerome KeOgh
the game has taken a decided boom. and
is now on higher plane than 1t was for
many years. Is shown by the interest
taken in 1t all over the country. In every
city tournaments have been started and
are now going merrily along without the
signs of crookedness that sent the pas
time to the back rooms of gin mills some
years back. The higher class Of people
who like pool have taken to the fif-
teen-ball game, and ere long 1t is
likely that there will be field Of play
ers fit to play for the worlds champion

FRED LAKE HANDS
OUT GOOD ADVICE
Declares Many Pitchers Are
Ruined by Playing Other
Positions.

Good advice for a manager is con-
tanned in the words. never let a
pitcher do anything but pitch on your
team" This was handed out in Chi
cago during the recent American League
meeting by no less an authority than
Fred Lake Of the Boston Doves. Many
a splendid fwirler has lost his cunning
in the box by doing odd jobs in the in
field or the outfield. Throws from these
positions tend to make him lose his idea
of distances and moreover hurt him as
a fielding pitcher.
Doc White always a winning south
paw Of the White Sox, was used in
center field by Comiskey last season in
number of games, and he could not
do anyw here as good work on the mound
as formerly. 1t is a question whether
ne will ever be the same mighty tw1rler
as of old. Ie may make fine fielder,
for he is fast throws fairly well to the
plate and certainly is a grand fielder.
But his value as a pitcher has been de-
creased. 1t Is harder to get a winning
southpaw pitcher than center fielder.
Altrock Goes Back.
Another pitcher who went back after
he started to get an idea. that he could
play first base is Nick Altrock, formerly
of Washington and Minneapolis, and
now signed UP with jugs Donahue's Red
Sox of the Chicago City League. Once
he practced on the initial sack he start
ed right in deteriorating as twirler,
and he was relegated to the minors.
Even there he was not a shining sue
cess as pitcher, and now he is with
the sem-pros a fast drop for a once
fine twirler.
Some pithoers have left the position
and have become even greater in other
positions Such man is Cy Seymour.
He developed into such a fancy hitter and
fielder that he startled the base ball world
with Cincinnati, and it cost the New YORK
Giants a big sum to secure him. seymour
however, is now getting past his ago OF
usefulness as a big Lacquer. Age and big
league ball seldom mix.
Tinker Once Hurler.
Joe Tinker once was a pitcher Few
fans today know that Joe once was sold
for about $25. just think Of the leagues
that would scramble over themselves to
get Tinker for that sum today or hun
dreds of times as great an amount. Ty
Cobb of the Tigers prides himself on his
ability to pitch, and he doubtless would
make fine one, for Ty is natural
player and could fit in anywhere.
Although a pitcher may lose his knack
in the box by changing positions. there is
another side to the question. A pitcher 8
life in a league is not as long as a
player OF another position. When he sees
that he is beginning to slow up trife.
IS IT not a WISE move for him to see il he
can't perpetuate his years of big salaries
by becoming a valuable player in another
position? This side Is a fair one. and upon
at rests the future Of the pitcher.
Every pitcher can't develop into great
umpire like Hank O'Day. So the question
has its two angles-one from the man
ayers side and the other from the play
er'S.

MANCHESTER, March 12.-Business in

change during the week. China took oc-

bought a few light cloths and the home
trade also absorbed a fair quantity at
late rates. The turnover. however was
below the average, and there is no desire
anywhere to place large contracts at the
quotations the manufacturers are COM
PEELED to ask with raw cotton at present
prices.
Yarns experienced a dragging demand
for fine American sorts, but medium and
lower qualities sold more freely at un-
changed prices. Egyptian fabrics were

NEW YORK. March 12.-George Bonhag.
who proved himself the greatest distance
runner in the world by running two
miles in nine minutes and fourteen Sec
ends in Buffalo recently. will probably
run his last indoor race during the pres
ent board floor season. Bonhag, when
pressed on the subject of his rumored re-
tirement said: "This will be my last
year on the boards without a doubt. Next
winter will be my hardest year in the
pursuit OF my engineering studies, and
will be obliged to forego running to give
every minute of my time to college work.
Very likely I will compete In outdoor
events after this winter, but there is lit
tie chance of my doing any more indoor
racing"

Wisdom of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania shares to some extent in
the same wave Of favorable sentiment It
is largely interested In an ownership way
in several competing lines. and would
hate very much to be obliged to let go of
its holdings. Pennsylvania has always
been strong for the right to have voice
In the management OF lines doing BUSH
ness in its territory, although for some
years past it has not aimed at actual ma
jOrity control. 1t was one of the first of
the great railroad corporations to appre-
ciate the disadvantage Of playing the hog
too much and thereby inflaming the pub
lie and giving demagogues something to

at the rate of about 80 per cent, a large
part of which continues to go into the

extant that is invested in better mon

Wall street has the strong hunch that the
United States Supreme Court is going to
decide the case against the trust in its

that advance tips OH Supreme Court de-
