Years ago men learned to oitstrip
the feetest racehorse in running and
to swim with a speed for surprising
that of the dolphin. Recently they
have learned to fly faster than the

greater heights than the condor. But
mans conquests are limited to the

eminent claims that there are other
associations If a similar character to
which other portions of the United
States have been assigned and in which
many of the defendants are members
and which is maintained in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law. The
petition charges the advanced rates
are the direct outcome of agreements
in suppression of competition and of an
unlawful combination in restraint of
interstate trade, arrived at and made
defective through the agency of the
Western Trunk Line Committee, and
that the acts of the combination in ad-
'vancing rates are the result of con
spiracy.
Further charges are made that the
unreasonable and excessive rates fixed
without competition apply to a vast
number of commodities of private utili-
ty and daily necessity, and that the un-
reasonable advances in freight charges
apply to approximately go per cent of
the commodities carried, and will in
crease freight charges in amounts vary
ing from 10 to 20 per cent of the rate
heretofore charged.
While the public should have the
benefit of lower rates in the west, it
would be unfortunate and disastrous
to nave to again experience the great
financial depression that eisxted when
so many railroads were forced into
the hands of receivers, and all exten-
sions and new equipments were aban-
doned. 1t must result in either govern
ment ownership or absolute control of
all transportation by a few wel-known
interests.

RAILROADS ENJoINED FROM IN
CREAsING FREIGHT RATES

At last the government has secured
ample evidence Of the existence of a
gigantic railroad conspiracy to defraud
the public by unlawful combination to
arbitrarily make and control rates on
both freight and passengers, clearly in
defiance of the Sherman antitrust
law. twenty-five railroads, acting as
a unit, had prepared a new schedule of
rates to 60 into effect on the first of
this month. The boards OF trade of
many cities took up the matter and Sc
cured positive evidence of the c,
spiracy. Protestations were of no
avail and there was but one thiLs
do to prevent the impending robbery
of the people, that was to have the
government enjoin the roads from pa
ting the new rates into effect. The
petition was promptly prepared an,
signed by Attorney General Wicker
sham, which alleges unlawful combina-
ton and conspiracy. The petition was
fled before United States District
Judge Dyer at Hannibal NO., on the
night of May 31st, who temporarily
restrained the Is roads from ~"enforc-
ing or making a general advance in in
~terstate freight rates."
The petition claimed that unless such
a restraining order were issued the rate
advances would become effective at
midnight of May 31st "to the grave
injury Of the people Of the United
States.o
The petition upon which the ~injunc-
tion was issued was presented to Judge
Dyer by Edward P. Grosvenor OF
Washington, special assistant to the at
torney general, and by Frederick N.
Judson, of st. Louis, acting as special
counsel. 1t was signed by George w.
Wickersham, attorney general; William

general, and Charles A. Houts, United

WISE MANAGERS HOLD VETS
Chance, Mack and Clarke Realize
Danger Of Tearing Up Win
ming Aggregation.

Chance. Mack and Clarke have realized
the danger of tearing up a winning ag-
gregation. While continually hunting for
young talent they never make the mis-
take Of allowing some good old veteran
10 depart until the youngster has been
thoroughly tried out
The young player will often look like
a winner, TO later slow up. while the
veteran Is always at his best when there
is most at stake. Where would the
Athletics be this season but for Plank,
Bender and Coombs? Krause looked like
a world beaten last season. just as Adams
did for the Pirates. yet we find the vet
Grams doing the effective box work for the
Athletics and Pittsburg.
While the Pirates, Cubs and Athletics
have more veteran players in their line
ups, we find these clubs with veteran
managers in the lead. A ball player can
work at topnotch speed for years and
then be at his very best. 1t simply de-
Ponds on the life q player leads.
Where would the Pirates be without
Clarke. Wagner and Leach; the Athletics
without Muryhy, Plank; Bender and
Evers. Tinker. Brown. Killing, Sheckard
and other players with Chicago who have
passed through several strenuous cam
paigns? The veteran player Is worth
nursing, and should never be discarded
until the new men nave MADE good for a
whole season.
Young material Is necessary. but not es-
sentiai to success until well versed In the
fine points Of the game and long expert
ence. Take the Cleveland club. Lajoie
and Turner. two veterans. are practically
the whole team. The scouts have gone

stead Of playing in the turf, where the
right fielder usually played. he measured
his distance SO that he could back and
get any ball that did not actually go into
the crowd. This brought him practically
eqidistant between the ropes and the
base lines. AS a result all flies that went

John l. Taylor OF the Boston club and

Mr.. Taylor decided that the Boston club
would take the trip. Mr.. O'Neill spends
his winters in California. and is well

coast. O'Neill was the first to recognize
that Duffy Lewis had the making OF a
good ball player, and coached him after
he left the high school team at Alameda
ONeill has been working out the timer

closed the dates and leases of ball parks
from San Francisco to Chicago. There
will be no attempt to take all the money
In California. but rather to give the coast
and the western people chance to see
the Red Sox with their best team out
for business.
The Chicago White Sox made the mis-
take OF playing as soon az the players
reached the coast, all out OF condition
after a long winters rest In the east
and this preliminary work put the Chi
cago team In poor condition for the hard
season to follow.
The Boston players will meet at San
Francisco March I, and practice for a
week before playing the first game with
one of the leading coast teams. AS Bos-
ton will have at least six players on the
pay roll who will winter on the Pacific
slope, the Red Sox will be In condition

will play q series OF games with the
clubs at Los Angeles. Sacramento, san

The team will not start east until near

playing at Salt Lake. Denver, Omaha

MANY SURPRISES

Then the Phfllies came home with a rec
