Hans" ''.
Hadley's every move, from his
'flat-foOted throw across the dia-
mond to his big swing at the plate,
is a reproduction of Wagner. He is
just as awkward as the Pirate ever
dared to be, but, like Wagner, he
gets there.
Hans ii also has some of the
smuggling propensities that have
made his big league double IA
nous. Pitchers hate to see him at
the plate in pinch. Recently Ev-
ansville won eight straight games.
Hans drove in the winning runs in
six of the eight contests.
Hadley is on the climb. Last
season he was in the South Michi-
gan league. 1t is expected he will
make another jump at the close of
the present season.

when they went to IL barehanded
and leased off" on the ball instead
of allowing it to sink into big
mitt. Pittsburg signed him, but
sold him to Chicago, and for two
years, during 1887 and 1888, he
played in the field. and pitched
for mighty Pop" Arson. From
that time on he played field en-
tirely, for the Brooklyn Brother
hood team in 1890; then went to
Baltimore and there saw Muggsy
McGraw break into base ball. He
played for Pittsburg during 1893,
the year of the great worlds fair
at Chicago, and then began his
memorable ten years service with
the Giants of New York, breaking
his leg in Pittsburg in 1903. Next
year ne came to Seattle and play
ed, then managed the Oakland
team up to June of last year, at
the same time holding down the
center garden job and pulling off
running catches that would make
many a lively youngster green
with envy.
Then base BAH fortunes had
their way, and it was the indicator
for Van Haltren. That may be
the reason why he is inclined to
resent thD fact that the scorers

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 15.-"For
10 consecutive seasons ! batted
over 800 and the official baseball
guides never mentioned it."
This is the complaint of Geo.
Van Haltren, rip" as he is
known among sporting writer's,
now umpire in the Pacific Coast
league after playing base ball from
1884 to June, 1909. Strangely
enough, Van Haltren wound up
his playing in Oakland, CAL. where
a quarter of a century ago he be-
gan as a catcher. Most all the
base ball history was written in
that stretch of years.
But now, Van resents his treat
ment by the historians of the
game. Thirteen years I hit 900
or above and the guides never
mentioned it," he repeated. at
was true that 1 played a couple of
years in the Brotherhood at
Brooklyn and later in the Ameri-
can association at Baltimore when
they broke away from the Nation
al league, and maybe that had
something to do with it. but they
gave other players credit who went
over with me-"

TIGERS GIVE TURKS TWO
BUNTS TOWARD
CELLAR

Seattle had the hard luck Satur-
day and although JOSS pltcced
shout-out ball he saw the Tigers
take the game to / and to end
the series yesterday Charlie
Schmutz went into the box for
Tacoma after Annis had wrenchei
mis- arm and Maston had demon
strated his lack of ABILITY as a
pitcher and BANKED the Turks.
This made it five out of seven
for the week and put the Tigers
up into second place again this
morning. Now they go to Spo-
kane for a week with the leaders.
Tacoma won the game Sautr-
day by Just one thing-running
out the third strike to first. Mott
was up and after missing the third
strike, he made a dash for first.
1T Just happened that the catcher
let the ball go to the grandstand
and Mott concluded one good base
deserves another, so made great
effort and took two. One of Ia
coma's three hits in the after
noon came just right and he came
home.
Sunday the Tigers got the bases
full and then Stevens came up
with his TIMELY smash that put
two men home. After that Mott
and Rockenfield did little double

and then Rocky came home on a

BIG PROFIT SCOOPED
IN BY PULATORS
Suit Filed in Chicago Brings 20 Light
- Inside of Railroad
Deal.

Chicago, Feb. with the filing Of a
brief in the appellate court today by
the estate Of the late Attorney John S.
Cooper, a new attack is made on an al
legged manipulation of a railroad and its
traffic, whereby Theodore P. Shonts,
Paul Morton, Joy Morton, Robert Ma
Their and William c. Brown, president
Of the New York Central lines, are de-
clared to have made a net profit Of ST.
$50 600.
The suit is for 100000, which Mr..
Cooper claimed for services rendered
the defendants. 1t is charged that,
through manipulation of the stock of
the Indiana, Illinois & Iowa railroad,
running from Streator, ILL.,, to South
Bend, Ind, and thence over the Lake
Shore q Michigan Southern railroad,
Mr.. Brown, while vice president Of the
latter road, bought the Indiana, Illinois
& Iowa road when the stock was at a
low figure, owing to the alleged diver
sion of its traffic.
After obtaining control of the road
for S3,0OO,00O, Brown, with the rest, it is
declared in the bill, doomed the stock by
restoring the traffic and sold il to the
Lake Shore road at a profit of 81, $50, 000
The action is on an appeal from the
decision of Municipal Judge Hume, who
October last dismissed the suit

LEGISLATION ON THE
RAILROAD QUESTION
House Committee Discusses Stock
Watering and Protection
Of Investors.

Washington. Feb. 5.-Watering OF rail-
way stocks and bonds and the protection
Of innocent investors figured in tOdays
hearing on proposed railroad legislation
before the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce.
In the course Of the hearing counsel
cited the hypothetical case of a railroad
issuing bonds for S90,000GOO. going into re-
Ownership and. when TeOTgdnized, being
appraised by the interstate commerce
commission at only 100000.
Argument arose as to whether the bonds
issued under the reorganization should
be allowed to the extent of 1000, 600, or
be limited to $4,000 900. James Byrne of
New York, representing railroad interests,
argued in favor of a law that would al
low the reOrganized companies to issue to
the maximum of their original indebted
ness.
why not squeeze all the water out at
the first opportunity" asked Chairman
Mann
Because that would do an injustice to
the holders of the original paper, the peo-
pie who bought in good faith ana who
would be robbed unless they could secure
new securities equivalent in value to that
they held in the first place." replied Mr..
ByTne.
The committee considered a provision
in the Townsend bill to validate previous
contracts. Chairman Mann suggested that
this might add value to securities based
wholly on water.

LAWS OF STATES DIFFER
Question of Extradition of An Ac-
cused Person From One State
to Another Discussed.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The question
whether the governor of one state stu
be required to extradite a person, under
charge Of crime, on the information pro-
cess as well as the indictment process.
was under discussion In the Senate for
more than two hours today. No action
was taken on the bill under considera-
ton, which would compel recognition of
the information process.
Senator Piles, in charge of the meas
IRE, said 1t had originated in the fact
that some governors had refused to grant
extradition in case of prosecution by the
process of Information"
The bill was vigorously opposed by Sen
ators Root and Hepburn, who contended
that it was in cOntTaVentiOn Of the fed
eTal constitution.
I'VE, who are acting under the require
ment of the constitution for d grand jury
proceeding" said MIR. Root, should not
be compelled by an act of Congress to
abandon it. and to surrender a citizen on
a process which We believe to be made
qUate and irregular"
Nor" said Mr.. Piles, should a citizen
Of New York be allowed to invade other
states, violate their laws and flee TO his
home and be free from arrest, extra
ditiOn and trial, according to our laws"

All the above, with the exception OF
Ericsson, were indicted a short time ago
in connection with an alleged attempt to
defraud the city of about $4,000 in the
building Of section NJ Of the Lawrence
avenue sewer. The "shale rock" scandal
also was unearthed in the construction of
section D. of the same sewer. The city
paid to McGOvern company more than
$4,000 for removal Of large quantaity Of
sO-called "shale rock" Upon examina-
ton by experts 1t was stated that the
"Shale rock was nothing more than hard
clay and offered little obstruction.
