DOES UNCLE SAM PAY TOO MUCH?
Railway Cost of Transporting Mails
Under Investigation.

Kansas City, Mo, May 27.-The
postoffice department at Washington
desires to know if it is paying the rail-
roads too much or too little for haul
ing the mail of the country, and Clyde
B. Reed Is going to find out.
Mr.. Reed is superintendent of adj
justment in the oostoffice department.
It is his business to fix the charges
for the railway transportation of mails.
He is in Kansas City attending the
convention of railway mail clerks at
the Coates house.
ct am engaged in gathering data
from every railroad in the country
concerning every item of its operation
and income" Mr.. Reed said.

SO effective that one of the games

ing fer $40 a week and his board and
travelling expenses then, and was will
ing to come to Denver the season fol-
lowing for slight advance in salary.
Leonard Cole, that was the lengthy
pitchers name, is now considered
among the most effective pitchers of
the splendid staff of the Chicago Cubs.
He played last season in the Southern
Michigan league, and made a record
which caused his purchase by the Chi
cago team. Cole is only one of many
great players who have slipped
through the hands of the Denver club
management in years past. Des
Moines has two in Kerner and Neihoff,
lads who were working on local lots
for years. Portland has one in Buddy
Ryan land Vernon of the same league
has another in Pitcher Roy Willett
Infielder Mcneil is a conner with the
st. Joseph team, who was playing on
for league chance. If the Denver
club had all the good men who have
slipped away from it during the last
five years it might be a sure pennant
year.
Lincoln Journal: Cyrus Landreth
Topeka's first sacker, is just breaking
nat the position. He seemed need
lessly rough yesterday when he
bumped Paul Cobb, knocking the
breath out of the Georgia kid, but his
stunt was doubtless due to inexper-
fence at the sack and not intent. In
fact, big Cyrus apologized to Cobb
and expressed his regrets because of
the collision. Dick Cooley vouches for
Landreth and says Cyrus is as good
natured and well meaning as he is big
in physique. Cyrus came here with a
reputation as mighty wielder of the
war club. His two safe clouts stirred
up a heap of trouble yesterday for our
Antelopes- If Cooley is able to con-
vert Cy into a smooth first sacker.
the big fellow will surely be valuable
player for the Topeka club.

Notes of the Game.

Kunkel has the worst hand seen on
a player here this year. One OF john
ny's throwing fingers is badly hurt
and swelled two or three times its or
dinarv size. This accounts for the bad
throw 1t was asking too much to re-
quest the CLASSY little third baseman
to STAY in the game with such hand
and BoIes substituted for him. Boles
stopped two of the hottest ones that
ever went between third and the short
field He played a classy third base.
Umpire Clark didn't have the best
day in the world as far as balls or
strikes were concerned. He called some
bad ones. Today, however, may be
different story. Clark worked we'll here
last year and it is hoped that ne VIII
'scome back" There has been consid-
cradle kick about his work this year.
Yesterday, Cooley coaching on third,
warmed I'D considerably to the jumps,
but nothing serious resulted. This is
Clark's first trip here this year.
Butcher" Kerns' bad hand did not
appear to be bothering much. Only
one base was tolen on him. and it was
hardly the Butchers" fault. Jones
got that one.
PenneH hit one safely and drove out
two more towards safe territory. Pen
nell can clout 'em all right and will
get them to landing safe after awhile.
McChesney, last years hitting de-
mon, could do nothing with the ball
Thursday, but he pulled off few swell
fielding stunts.
A bunt and a single made up those
two hits which the Joe Towners Sc
cured off Jackson. And the hunt was
pretty close one. Easy Charley
certainly had his former team mates
swinging at bad ones and hunting out
the hiding places of the good ones. He

Cooley has been offered the home
share of the receipts, which includes
the grandstand, and grandstand
which seats a thousand more people
than the local grandstand, if he will
transfer the st. Joseph Sunday game
to the Drummer town. And Richard
may accept it. It is guaranteed that
the attendance will be right around
the 5000 mark. Every seat is sold for
both afternoon and morning games
Monday and it will cause more or less
trouble to get into st. Joseph for the
Monday contest and play in Topeka
Sunday. The deal is being considered.
Cooley is behind and the amount
which a good contest at ST. Joseph
would turn into his Golfers would just
about give him a clean bill. He does
not know whether to make the trans
fer or not. The usual Sunday game in
Topeka will not bring in anything like
the returns in a financial way that the
game with st. Joseph will according
to Hollands declarations. The at
tendance before the team left on. its
northern trip was poor and Cooley lost
money. Rains encountered on the
roa dhad made the loss heavier. Here
is a chance to recoup and Dick should
not be blamed if he does 1t. Cooley
says he is against transferring games,
ordinarily, but this is an unusual cir
cumstance and a chance to even on
break. His decision will likely be an
nounced tonight.
This Jones person who plays second
for ST. Joe and who has been hitting,
stealing bases and fielding like big
Lacquer. is our own old Texas" Jones.
Jones is of some ancient vintage al
though the exact date is forgotten.
He has been the talk of every town
in which st. Joe has played. 1t is de-
clared he is getting away better this
year than ever before. Bauer is the
old Sedalia Bauer and seems to have
improved a little with age. McLear,
formerly with the Wichita team, in
old Western association days, is also
a Hollander once again. McChesney,
Clark, Corhan are of last years
Pueblo team. johnson, the rowing In
dian boy, played with Western league
teams last year and Shea is not I'M
known in this company.
Phil Kerner has been sold by Des
Moines to Wichita Kerner is
catcher and utility player. Chicago
covered him for Des Mofnes last year
by draft This indicates that Isbell at
last has made a deal with Comiskey
whereby he hopes to strengthen the
wichita team. Wichita has confident
" expected "Izzy" to do this every
year, but this is the first time the old
stager has pulled it off.

Lincoln Journal: Mr.. Hearst's Chi
cago American published a highly in
teresting baseball fake the other day
interesting chiefly because it con-
tanned not one syllable for fact. IN
der a Lincoln date line, it announced
that the Lincoln management had sold
the release of Pitcher Farthing to the
Chicago White Sox and that Farthing
would report at once to the Comiskey
crew. Another fanciful statement was
that a Chicago scout had put in a bid
for Paul Cobb, only to find that Tvs
kid brother was the property of the
Detroit Tigers, Lincoln having him
merely on a loan. Fine line of read
ing matter, but totally void of truth.
Farthing hasn't been sold to the Sox,
nor to any other ball club on earth.
No major league in the business could
stack the green stuff high enough to
induce President Despair to part with
the slim sidewheeler until after the
conclusion of the Western league cam
paign. Neither does Detroit have
string on Paul Cobb. The Georgia kid
is the sole property of the Lincoln
club.

The best and highest interest of each
