CANADA TAKES UP PASS RULE.
Sentiment Started Against Free Trans
portatfon of Private Car Employees.

At mass meeting of representatives
of southwestern, western, Canadian
and northern lines, a resolution has
been adopted subject to the concur
renee of three lines represented, and
others not represented by which, IL
finally made effective, no free trans
portation will hereafter be granted to
employees or servants of private or
special cars, which are not the prop
erty of common carriers and where
such employees are not on the payroll
of such common carrier. There is a
possibility that the proposition will not
receive unanimous approval, and with
out which it can not be made opera
tive. Indeed some of the lines inter-
ested have made it plain that they are
not in favor of 1t, one of them taking
the ground that it was justified in con-
tinufng the practice of granting, such
free transportation, its attorney having
held 1t to be entirely legal if covered
in tariffs, and it proposed SO to change
the phraseology of its tariffs that there
would be no question about it,

The handsome twirler's business is
operating the Alderman Monument
Works at Lyons, Neb., from where
he writes. When the fine spring
weather opens up, it is a safe bet
that the proprietor will drop his
chisels and take to the baseball past
ures.
Topeka has landed another pitcher,
who, If he makes good, will be the
biggest slab artist in the league His
name is Dan Upton and he has never
seen the inside of a league. But for
several seasons he has been the vii

feet above the ground.
Then there is another boxman which
Brooklyn has just about promised to
let Moore use for a season. In the
letter from the Brooklyn management
considering the use or sale or this
pitcher, Moore was congratulated on
landing Firstsacker Whitney, who was
procured through Brooklyn.

New Telegraph Pole Line Stirs Up Old
RumOr.

Harrington, Kan, Dec. 31.-The
Rock Island has begun distributing
telegraph poles preparatory to better
equip their telegraph service and have
the poles laid as far as White City, and
have begun stringing the wire at To-
pelza and points this side. The posts
that are now being put in, as observed
by a passenger on the train few days
ago, are placed considerable dis
lance from the former poles, which is
an indication that in the near future
they expect to double track along this
line Another indication of their in
tentfon to double track is that all the
bridges that have been built within
the past year are double width. The
traffic over this road has increased
to such proportions that three new
stations have been added with sew
era1 miles Of switch track recently.
The double track idea is not matter
of speculation, but is considered by
those in authority to know that it is
becoming a necessity as well as a con-
venience. This will greatly increase
the freight traffic of other systems
over this line as we'll as lessen the
hazard of passenger traffic.

Sutor will run Gregg a good race for the
strikeout record this season If he maintains his
present. gait. He's good for seven or eight most
bit stronger, getting 10.
The Seal southpaw also did some very nifty
fielding in the first three innings. 1t seemed as
though every Villager was hitting the ball right
at Harry. He knocked 'em all down and got his
men at first every time.
Sutor surely did have Coy on his staff all day
long. The Vernon right fielder came up to the
bat four times and each occasion Sutor re-
tired him on three strikes. Sutor is one pitcher
whom Coy can not hit.
Nick Williams put plenty of pepper into his
work behind the bat He kept wnging the VII

Portland in the north yesterday
afternoon brings the three Lead
ers, Portland, Oakland and San

Now, if Oakland and San Fran
cisco can repeat again today they
viii be all in a heap, with only
game between the leading team
and the third team, and the Sec
ond one half game behind the
leaders.
Oakland is playing grand ball,
the best ball of any of the six
clubs of the league, in fact. The
Commuters have been consistent
for once in their lives, and for
this very reason they stand an
excellent chance of routing the
Beavers in this series, even

to even make runs or to put a stop to

wont to start. When Schafer weakened
a bit it was curtains with the others

Sutor kept his hits well scattered,
the six which Vernon picked out being
strewn all along the nine rounds of
action In the final period the Villag-
