all the niceties of the play that they
must be taken into consideration in

baseball legislation for the benefit of
those who support the game.
This fact of which speak is what
is technically known as 'free-hitting-
game. That Is, heavy hitting by the
batters and consequent action on the
bases by the runners.
There Is patent reason for this
in all popular sports action is the

IsH PLAN OF HAVING oRGANl-

QUESTION.

The effort to bring about reforms III
boxing and to establish an lnterha-
tional board to control the sport Is
bearing fruit and the indications are
that within another six months an
organization embracing the united
States. Great Britain, France, Aus.
tralia and Canada will be estaoilshed
and placed on firm footing. >.
The London Sporting News with
the aid of the earl of Lonsdale mas
been putting forth strenuous efforts
on that side of the ocean and mas met
with considerable success. The matter
has also been given considerable at
tention on this side and boxing pro
moters are beginning to realize .he
benefits to be obtained from an or

:, not expected that an internatlohai

where at the present time 1t is Dafred'
but it Is expected to bring about a UNI
form set of weights and also to make
It easier to establish claims, that ls'
legitimate claims, to the various cham
pionship classes.
Those interested have consulted a
number of prominent promoters IN
various sections of the United States
and IN nearly every instance they
have been heartily in favor of the re-
form suggested.
1.-THE move is one in the right dfrec-
ton and trust that 1t will become a
realization In the very near future,
said Jimmy Coffroth of San Francisco,
who is in Europe now. Il have gone
over the weight question very care
fully and agree with the London Sport

the weights as suggested by the Eng
lish authorities are about as near
right as we can expect to make them
My club stands ready at any time to
send representative to any meeting
In New York that will be backed VI
by the proper people and we will also
vote to adopt scale of weights as
suggested above. | think 1t very
good plan to have an internationa
board to adjust the claims to the vari

Without any desire at this time to
enter into a discussion of the merits
OF demerits of the proposed Parcels
Post system, the Observer would like
to ask this question: If it is true, as
the Postoffice Department claims, that
the Government cannot transport
newspapers and magazines at a lower
cost than cents pound without loss,
how could it handle a much greater
tonnage of merchandise parcels at a
mere fraction of this charge per
pound? In other words, if the hand
ling Of the existing newspaper tonnage
is responsible for the enormous deficit
each year, as claimed, by what pro-
cess of reasoning or calculation does
the Department reach the conclusion
that by charging a much lower rate
than cents pound for a far greater
tonnage it could realize a sufficient
profit to wipe out the present annual
loss? Will the Government be able to
devise ways and means by which it
will be possible to transport merchan-
disc at a much cheaper rate than it
has been paying for the carrying of
newspapers and periodicals? If so,
every publisher in the United States
will be interested in hearing how it is
to be done.

WAS THIS PROPHECY?

(Editorial from Polk County Observer
Of July 27, 1909.)
II is to be hoped that the people of
Dallas will arouse themselves to the
importance of taking immediate ac-
fion in an effort to. have the big
Spaulding sawmill kept in Dallas.
While the mill has been permitted to
stand intact for several months, let
no citizen delude himself into think
ing that the machinery will be kept
there for much longer time, for Mr..
Spaulding has many mills in operation
IN Oregon, and it is only natural to
assume that when any of the idle ma
chlnery in the Dallas mill can be used
In his other plants, he will remove it
from this mill rather than go to the
expense of buying new equipment. A
big manufacturing plant cannot stand
idle long without great deterioration
in value, and it is not reasonable to
suppose that the machinery in the Dali
las mill will be permitted to stand in
idleness for any great length of time.
And once the dismantling of this fine
plant is begun it will not be long un-
III the mill will have become a thing
Of the past-and then Dallas can bid
good-bye to any hope of ever seeing
one foot of Spaulding's timber on the
LaCreole sawed at home The cutting
or the LaCreole timber is an industry
that rightfully belongs to Dallas, and
II Is up to our people to see that it is
not diverted elsewhere.
