LIMITED PARCELS POST
Hitchcock to Recommend Its Adop-
ton in Annual Report.

Washington, Nov. Pa limited
parcels post for the rural free deliv-
cry routes will be recommended by
Postmaster-General Hitchcock in his
forthcoming annual report. In an
nouncing this at Washington the
pOstmastergeneral fOresees the es-
adjustment of a general parcels post
throughout the country as soon as the
postal savings system is thoroughly
organized
AS the preliminary step in the de-
velopment of such a service, Mr..
Hitchcock viii ask Congress to auth
orize the delivery on rural routes of
parcels weighing as high as II
pounds. which is the weight limit for
the international parcels post. This
form of service, it is maintained, can
be conducted with little if any addi-
tional expense 10 the government II
will not require the appointment of
/ more carriers, for those already en-
! ployed have the necessary equin.
ment in the way of horses and wag-
ons to distribute a parcel as well as
the ordinary mail. Rarely is the lat
ter of sufficient volume to take up
more than a small portion of the mail
space in the carriers wagon.
A rural parcels post of the kind
proposed, if successfully conducted
probably would lead the department
to attempt a more general system
Mr. Hitchcock believes, however, thai
before the parcels service is extenc
ed to the whole country definite in
formation should be obtained as tC
the nature and volume of the bust
ness to be handled He accordingly
urges that in conjunction with the
experiment on rural routes a further
inquiry be authorized by Congress il
order that the department may be il
a better position to develop the sys
tenn on conservative lines. He recon-
mends that a special appropriation
for the inquiry be granted at tn,
coming session.

Cincinnati Nov. 2j.-Because
brc .hers Of John Evers and Arthur
Hoffman represented these players
when the Chicago National League
club played at Ottumwa, Iowa on Sep
TENDER 9, the national baseball COM
mission has fined the Chicago club
5000. The claim of the Ottumwa
management for damages was disal
lowed because the home team allow
ed the game to 90 on and profited
by It. The commissions findings say
in part:
THE attention of the commission
was called to this case by F. T.
Lynch. president Of the Ottumwa
club He charged that that club and

by the Chicago National League club
and that the prices of admission on

Chance could muster. were fixed at
81 and 1925 each. The Chicago club
which was offered a $500 guarantee
with the privilege OF so per cent of
| the gross receipts was paid Sl5O5 as
its part OF the receipts.
President lynch states that many
persons travelled over 100 miles in
the expedition OF seeing Chicago's
star players and that patrons were
indignant on discovering that the
Chicago club worked many substi-
tutes. It also developed that instead
of John Evers and Arthur Hoffman
