the contesting cars. united today in
declaring that only by the use OF state
troops may a road race be made safe

There was nothing but praise for
the Georgia soldiers who patrolled
The course. The soldiers, with loaded
rifles and fixed bayonets,. were sta

not a spectator crossed the track and
that at no time was there crowding
at the dangerous points.
Compared with the last Vanderbilt

how good old Cy Young stands on the
Sunday baseball proposition nowadays.
In fact. think the old boy wouldn't
hesitate TO pitch If he We're asked, no
matter whether the day were Sunday,
Tuesday or week from Friday.
Long ago, thocgh, when Cy was
still young In age, as we'll as name
and spirits, he was very much opposed

ton OF the devil and that he wouldn' I
remain on team that played Sunday
nall al all II IL wasn't that he needed
he money. As for himself he remark
ed that Mr. Tebeau hadn't better ask
aim to do any Sunday pltching-that
there would be a battle, and, as he
was much larger than his manager,
'ae could forecast what would happen.
ICY was the real stun as pitcher
and worked three times a week, II
asked, SO Tebeau made no complaint
about his Sunday views. Mathewson,
you know, won't work on Sunday, and
MCGraW never says word. Paul
Radford was one Of the last of the

ball. and today | think Mathewson

Cuppy, of course, was all in after thai

what will happen TO Minnesota!
IL the chief question being asked In
view OF the Michigan football game
with Penn. Saturday.
Plenty" is the answer OF CbserV-
ing critics. II Minnesota doesn't get
beating good and plenty lot OF
folks are going to be disappointed
severely. Tho stage seems about set
for that happy finish, and here's hop
ing II comes of as per schedule.
II Fielding ri. Iost succeeds In
whipping together a team that can
trim Minnesota. he will have accom-
plished a wonderful thing. Yost GER
tainly is genius in football way,
and his trick OF developing the VOL
VERNE machine sufficiently TO stop
Pennsylvania was grand piece oil
work
When the present season started
Michigan did not loom very promis
ing on the football horizon. The
games with the Aggies and with
Case, admittedly second-rate team.
did not appeal TO followers OF the
game as anything OF very much merit
Six weeks ago the average student
OF football would tell you that this
was Michigan's on.year. that the
Wolverine was due for n severe tum-
Bile. II certainly did look that way.
Today II seems that Michigan has
a great organization. that the sup
posedly inferior talent has developed
under Yosts wonderful guidance into
a great SQUAD. To be sure there Is
none of that old smashing style that
marked Michigan in the grand old
days" but that sort OF football is "a
thing of the past Nobody owns u
big scoring machine any more.
Every detail Of the Penn game In.
dictated that Michigan was a better
football team than the fasteners.
Michigan carried the battle TO the OPP
ponents time after time. but always
lacked just that added ounce Of
strength required 10 cross the goal
line. OF course. Penn deserves great
credit for its defensive work at cri,i-
cal moments. yet the fact remains
that Michigan made the better show

Having passed through this contest
with credit the only thing remaining
is the Minnesota game the coming
Saturday. There will be a lot Of

lot OF near injuries" and all that sort

UP TO COMP ANIES TO AR
RANGE DETAILS.

According TO the provisions of the
universal transfer bill, as reported for
passage TO the House by the District
Committee, the question concerning
bookkeeping Is very properly left to the
street railway companies for solution.
As originally drawn by its author, Rep
resentative Wiley Of New Jersey, the
measure provided the basis upon which
transfers should be exchanged, and 1t
was this point to which the companies
made such strenuous objection As It
stands today, the bill simply provides
that the adjustment of accounts shall
be mutually agreed upon, and that in
the event Of failure TO reach an agree
ment, a basis Of settlement shall be
established by the Supreme Court of
the District.
1t begins to look as If the long strug-
gle for interchangeable transfers may
result in success IN the near future.
The House District Committee has
threshed the whole issue out thor
oughly, and its conclusion that the Dis
trict is entitled TO the convenience and
that the companies can afford to grant
It Is gratifying. and should do much
toward aiding in getting the Wiley
measure through the lower body IF
this Is accomplished the Senate should
follow the action OF he House and
make II certain that the desira bic
transfer system is put into operation
this summer
The features of the bill pertaining 10
the issue OF transfers and 70 the
methods by which the companies shall
account TO each other are as follows:
Thirty DAYS after the passage Of this
arr the street railway lines ia the Dis
rri-t Of Columbia shall issue transfers
Interchangeable within the District Of
Columbia from the lines OF one com
raav 80 those OF another. the con panies
To have Jue rlZht 70 Stpulate that the
transfer shall Dc good only for 2. trip in
continuation Of the trip on the line for
which the transfer Is Issued. so that a
pa sseUEer viii not be enabled 10 use the
interchange OF transfer 70 eject q trip
from one point 10 another and return
on one fare provided, that the dust
ment Of their accounts resulting from
mutually agreed upCn between the said
railway companies. and IN any case OF
failure 90 reach such mutual agreement
the matters In dispute shall be deter
mined nv. the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trlCl Of Columbia upon petition filed BIZ
either party. and provided. further, that
the railway lines shall not be required
70 issue transfer on transfer
Undoubtedly, 1t viii be difficult for
the companies 70 arrive at q fair basis
Of accounting with each other, but this
Is no reason interchangeable transfers
should not be issued. a great MANY Of
the problems OF operation of a street
railway system are difficult to solve.
but they have TO be solved in order
that efficient service may be rendered
the public. The handling of this trans
fer difficulty is merely one of the duties
which rests upon the local companies as
result Of their privilege to operate

be penahzed simply because the Off
Gals Of the corporations are confronted
