the Australian team, as made up at pres
ent, consists of eight golfers and two
lawn tennis players, but it Is possible
that this number may be increased.
Prominent among the visitors will be
Michael Scott. the amateur champion of
Australia and open champion Of New
South Wales and Victoria. He is a
brother Of o. Scott, who has been rum
ner-up in the amateur championship
tournament Of Great Britain. Next on the
list is Clyde Pearce. who has been both
open and amateur title holder Of Aus
tralia.
Then there is the sensational Felstead.
a left-handed golfer, who recently broke
the record for the course of the Royal
Melbourne Club. Last year Festead won
the open championship tournament OF
Australia, beating all the professionals.
Another equally well known golfer book
ed for the trip is Duncan, five times
champion Of New Zealand and runner-up
In the Australian amateur tournament In
1908.
Bruce Pearce, the youthful phenomenon
of many titles, also enjoys an interna-
tional reputation. This eighteen-year-old

BY J. ED GRILLo.

Losing games by one run has ever been
one of the favorite performances of the
Nationals. but it is doubtful IL the team
has ever before made so strong record
sin this respect as during the past two
weeks, when, of the fifteen games played
eight were lost by this small margin.
Now it goes without saying that base
hit at the right time in any one of these
games would have given the victory to
the locals, thus indicating that one Of
the teams principal failings is weakness
with the stick. But that is not its only
fault and does not explain away all the
defeats. There have been entirely too
many occasions when poor judgment on
the bases has prevented runs from being
scored. Furthermore. McAleer hasn't
base-running team. Piifering of bags
occurs so seldom that it Is always note
worthy event. But lack Of Judgment on
bases has been the teams worst failing.
Yesterday, for instance, runs were
thrown away in the fourth inning. With
the bases full Mcbride hit to center. scor-
ing Milan and Lelfveh. 'Oldring made a
long peg to the plate, yet Gessler re-
manned on second when he should have
been planted on third and given Mcbride
chance to move I'D to second. The re-
suit was that GeSsler was ldteI CdusHt
trying to steal third, and no more runs
came over the pan. There have been
many similar instances where opportuni-
ties have been overlooked which. IL taken
advantage of, would have brought about
victories.
Not being a good hitting team. much OF
the teams deficiency with the stick might
be made up on the bases by alertness
and daring enough to take ordinary
chances, but this seems absolutely lack
ing. On the whole, the pitching has been
very creditable. With a stronger Of
fensive team the pitchers would have
many victories to their credit. Losing SO
many games by one run may be hard
luck. but it can also be attributed to
some poor ball playing.

publication of a geography OF Michi-
gan, which he is writing and which
will be issued by the survey i'm about
three months.
The book will be the most complete
and comprehensive publication ever
Issued bearing on the resources OF the
state. II is not the, purpose of the
survey to put the book on the market
in competition with the school books
now in use. but it is hoped that each
school in the state will be supplied
with at least one copy of the book for
supplementary study. II will not only
deal with geography, but will point
out the agricultural and horticultural
possibilities of every section of both
peninsulas. 1t will give examples of
the successes that have been achieved
in various localities. The mineral
and industrial position of the state
will also come in for a good share Of
discussion in the publication.

R. R.. Commission
HAS MUCH POWER
MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR WAR
NER TO LEGISLATURE WILL
DIRECT ATTENTION TO
FEATURE.

Lansing, Dec. 27.-One of the most
important features TO be touched upon
by Gov. Warner in his last message to
the legislature will be the tremendous
power vested in the state railroad
commission. making il one of the most
powerful branches Of the state govern,
ment.
In order to substantiate this state
ment the retiring chief executive will
show the immense amount ofs capital
over which the commission has had
jurisdiction since IL was granted au-
thority, under an act Of the legisla-
ture In 1909. TO pass upon all issues
of bonds and stocks of public service
corporations.
Chairman c. l.. Glasgow of the COM
mission has statistics TO show that
since the present act went into effect
September /, 1909. the commission has
passed upon and granted authority to
issue stocks. bonds. notes and certi-
ficates. as securities of public service
corporations, to the extent of $243.-
Gil ,454.74.
Before any public service corpora
tion is allowed to increase it's capital
stock or issue bonds, it is necessary
that an application be filed with the
commission. A hearing is held and ex-
perts employed by the commission
make an appraisal of the property in
cases where there is any doubt as to
the propriety of permitting such a
transaction, or a suspicion Of watered
stock.
Since the commission was reorgan-
lied in September, 1909, applications
for bonds to the amount of .$11,70O,-
900 have been rejected and requests to
issue stock to the extent of $3.50, 900
have been given an unfavorable con-
sideration. 1t is said that all of these
things will be included in Gov. War
ner's mention of the commission and
its workings.

NEW WORK FOR COWBOYS.
Moving Picture Men Using Many Men
Of the Western Plains.

Portland, Or. Dec. %. - Oregon
ranchmen have a brand new plalnt
IL is that the moving picture show is
spelling the cowboy. Film makers
demand their services and pay them
handsomely for riding bucking horses
in front of the moving picture camera
or for taking part in an alleged West
ern Drama" The cowboys like the idea
of being actors and look lightly upon
their former employers.
The old ranchers who sigh for the
old fashioned Cow punch" are sore
at the change and do not attempt to
conceal their hostility to film makers
who frequently try to arrange for big
cattle ranches as the setting for
wild West" picture. The sturdy old
ranchers sneer at these representa-
tions of life as they know 1t and de-
clare the pictures only make ornery
COW boys and give Fasteners wrong
ideas of life in the cattle country
AS a matter of fact, they say, rid
ing bucking horses is but a small part
of a cowboys life, and the real life on
the plains cannot, for obvious rea-
sons, be shown on a film. However,
the moving picture COW boy is becom-
ing dissatisfied with the hard life on
the range and must be pampered and
humored to keep him on the job, once
he gets his face on a picture film. de-
clare the ranch owners.
AS for the traditional Western
drama. where the rancher's daughter
marries the heroic cowboy who foils
the traditional "gunfighter' of the
frontier, the dwellers of the range
country have only contempt. They
declare these productions are even
worse than the usual cowboy play on
the stage.
AS far as this state is concerned,
however, the moving picture film will
soon claim the cowboy for its own. The
big ranches are being cut up and set
tied and the cattle business is becom-
ing of less Importance. Wheat is
growing on the old ranges and rail-
roads, now building into the heart Of
the old cattle sections. are bringing
in an ever-increasing flood of home
steaders.

REVIVE RACING IN FRANCE.
Europe Taking Deep Interest In Auto.
mobile Racing Again.

New York, Dec. 27.-The institution
of racing automobiles in this country
was imported from Europe. II was
natural that the continent should pre-
sent the first flight against time, for
the motorcar was invented there. Re-
cent years, however have seen the de-
cline of the speed contests in Europe.
While continental interest waned, the
odd combination of business and sport
in this country rose Today America
leads the world in automobile racing.
1t holds more road, track, hill climbs
and endurance contests and has devel-
oped more-if not as good-drivers
than France.
Doubtless the remarkable successful
racing season just closed in this coun-
try has impressed Europe that ii is
falling behind. Such q conclusion is
forced by the fact thas France has de-
cided To revive the historic Grand PriX
race between May 10 and Julya5. The
American Grand Prize. which was held
so successfully at Savannah in 1908
and last month. grew out of the decline
of the French Grand Prlx. If present
plans are carried out. however, the
Grand Prix will be held i'm France next
spring.
