Thinks Hampton Should For
felt Game to Fort Monroe.
HEAR CASE HERE TONIGHT
Secretary J. n. Holmes Issues Call
for Meeting Of League Directors In
Y. M. c. A. At $50 This Even
ing-Wlll Pass important Laws.

Manager Nexsen. of the Newport
News North Enders, has entered a
protest with Secretary j. II. Holmes
OF the Peninsula baseball league,
through which he hopes to have
Hampton forfeit 10 Fort Monroe the
game of the morning of the Fourth
Of July.
II will be remembered that Hamp-
ton played Hubby" White. of Nor
folk, at first on the Fourth and that
Manager Grey objected when he
found that Whites signed contract
lad not been filed with Secretary
Holmes Manager Grey, of the Artil-
ierymen. conferred with Manager Nc
Allister, of the Crabbers, and it was
agreed between the two managers
that the game should be played over,
although Whites appearance in the
same was in good faith in so far as
Manager McAllister is concerned.
Ground of Objection.
Now Manager Nexsen objects on
the ground that Hampton should for
felt the game and the directors of
the league have been called to meet
IN the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation tonight to hear Manager
Nexsens protest. AS there is no rule
covering the contract matter and
another rule makes it mandatory
upon a team protesting a game to
enter the protest with Secretary
Holmes within two days following the
protested game, the local fans do not
feel that Manager Nexsen has good
ground for his present protest. The
protest was not filed with Secretary
Holmes by Manager Nexsen until
Monday, just one week after the
game in question was played and won
by the Crabbers.
Law is Expected.
Whatever may be the outcome OF
the protest it is expected that the
directors will enact a law covering
the playing OF improperly signed
men in the games in the future, In
which Manager McAllister himself
will concur. 1t is also probable that
the directors will pass rule requir
ing the secretary to notify each team
when a new man is signed or when
his contract is received in the Of
lice of the secretary.
The session of the directors tonight
will prove quite interesting and it is
expected that full attendance of the
fans will be out to hear the disputed
POINTS discussed.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONS.

II HE fact that the Maryland legislature has
u passed a law creating a Public Service
Commission has thrown the local Democratic
newspaper into bad case of spasms, and it has
an editorial article of almost two columns of sol
emn warning against the dangers that surround
such commissions-what frightful things might
happen if we had public service commission in
Delaware. The opposition of the Democratic
paper to Public Service Commissions reminds us
of Mrs Partington trying to stay the sea with
her broom
One thing certain in our political life is that
we are going to have public regulation Of public
service corporations and it will be impossible for
those who represent corporation interests to
stem the tide. The Maryland commission will
have as our contemporary says, extraordinary
powers, as it should have, for it will deal with
extraordinary stuation-that of the relations be
tween the community and private monopoly Our
contemporary admits that great deal depends
upon the kind OF men who named TO be com
mssoners, and in that we agree. If the
public service commissioners are merely tools of
the corporations, nothing would be accomplished
but the providing of Jobs for few persons as
commissioners. Here in Delaware the corpora
tions have had things their own way for so long
that, unless the atmosphere of our legislatures
should change, if we had a public service conf
mission we should have as commissioners a
majority that would look after the interests OF
the corporations first
But admitting that good and capable men would
be appointed our contemporary is still against
the idea of a public service commission. The
powers of supervision which the law confers upon
the commission, coupled with the right of direct
interference in the most important details OF
the executive management of the public service
corporations, is calculated to destroy public con-
fdence in the capacity of these concerns to CON
duct a successful business in face of such hand-
caps and interference says our neighbor.
People may stop investing in the securities OF
such companies.
A dismal picture is that, and with public ser
vice commission in Delaware we can see the
cyclonic rush of stockholders Of the Delaware
Railroad Company to unload their stock below
par. The opponents of public service commits
soners had better search for better argument
"rherc are many in Delaware who, for selfish
and personal reasons, would like to have such a
law Ohe Maryland law enacted in this state, but
it is absolutely certain that public interests would
not be served thereby is the parting shot of
this fantastic opponent Of public service COM
missions
We presume that the opponents of such com
missions arc not actuated by selfish or personal
reasons. May they keep their smile hidden as
they try to gull the people with such sophistry.
