CAN HE DO IT?

instant says that MIR. Burt left
the hall after a conference with
the boundary line committee"
Editor Conser is in error in so
stating as Mr.. Burt never went
into the committee room. The
Seutinal also asks why does not
the 1smay Journal mention that
Mr.. Conser was the person who
moved for the north and south
boundary lines? We can answer
this in saying simply that it
would be of no benefit either for
or against the Fallon county pro-
position, as the editor of the Sem
final has never made good on a
single proposition regarding
county division and furthermore,
the Baker Commercial club have
repeatedly informed US that the
Seminal editor was not to be re-
Led upon, hence the Journal
overlooked so small a matter as
Mr.. Conser.
If Mr.. Conser will truthfully
endeavor to answer a few quest
ions we will soon see the reason
1smay has for trying to defeat
Bakers Fallon County propo-
sition.
Did not Mr.. Sykes, Burt, Nor
ris, Prindle and Oliver agree at
Helena to work in harmony for
the large county?
Did not Mr.. Morris object to
drawing boundary lines on March
18th at Baker because he said
Mr.. Burt should be there to join
in carrying out the promise made
at Helena?
Why did the Baker people not
wait until the meeting at Ekalaka
on April 18th to draw boundary
lines?
Why did the Baker people
make a false accusation against
our delegates regarding an alli-
ance with the people of Wibaux?
Why has Baker the right to
expect the people of eastern
Custer County to divide the coun-
ty solely or the basis of a county
seat for Baker?
Why should Baker expect
Ismay, Ekalaka o1lany other part
of eastern Custer to sit idly by
and allow them to form a new
county in order get the county
seat and a job for a few of their
office seeking citizens.
If Baker is seeking only to be
cut off from Custer county and
not for a county seat why do
they not want the larger county?
Why did the Baker people
promise to come here and prove
that our delegates listened to off,
ers from Wibaux and then back
out?
Why does not Mr.. Barber in
sist on their coming?--fo for until
they do the blame for this report
must rest with him.
An honest and intelligent en-
deavor to answer these questions
will perhaps give US a better I'M
derstanding Of the attitude Of
the people outside of Baker re-
garding the county division pcopo-

MAJOR LEAGUES IN SCRAMBLE
FOR BEST YOUNG PLAYERS
NEVER BEFORE HAS THERE BEEN
SUCH AN EARLY DEMAND.
Few Youngsters Have Made Good in
Major Baseball This Year.

The failure of big mapority of the
young players tried out in the fast
baseball set to make good this spring
and the rapid decline Of a number of
veterans have caused a wild scramble
by the major league clubs to gather
i'm talent for immediate or future trial.
A good player with youth who looks
as If he might develop into big league
material is now a very much coveted
article, and during the past few days
reports have been pouring in from all
sections of the country about promis-
ing Juveniles having been purchased
by clubs of both the American league
and the National league. Never be-
fore has there been such a wild scram-
bic FOR the raw material so early in
the season. with the result that the
market Is steadily rising, aad-A all the
stories about thee prices being paid
are true the $1,000 which Connie
Mack paid for Lefty" Russell will
soon be mere cigarette money COM
pared with the prices which some of
this years crop of boys bring.
Considering the fact that the coun-
try was secured with dragncts last
year, and that it was not thought that
any lad even on the town lots over &c
years Of age was overlooked. it is sur
prising that so few of the newcomers
have made good.
The fault is not entirely with the
players. 1t rests largely with the club
owners and the managers The de-
sire TO strengthen their teams speed
lily has caused certain managers to
east adrift players who might make
good in fast company with a little |
seasoning, but the club officials cannot |
wait for the buds to bloom. They |
want the promising baseball plants to |
lower with dollhouse speed.

SPORTING DEPARTMENT
MAGEE'S SUSPENSION SPOILS
CHANCE OF GETTING AUTO
PHILADELPHIA PLAYER WAS IN
LINE FOR FINE PRIZE.
He Will Not Now Be Considered by
Chalmers Trophy Committee.

The suspension of Sherwood Magoe
of the Phillies for the rest of the year
by President Lynch, is likely again to
cost Magee a very good chance at the
Chalmers trophy.
Last year a great many National
League fans felt that it was unfortu-
nate inasmuch as two automobiles
were given away that both should go
to American League players.
| 1t will be remembered that the con
test between Ty Cobb and Lajoie was
so close that Hugh Chalmers gave
Ian automobile to each of these great
I hatsmen. Both Cobb and Lajoie had
wonderful seasons last year, and their
averages were both much higher than
any of the National League batters
Despite this, Sherwood Magec led the
National League by a good margin ov-
er all the other players who had par
ticipated in anything like the full sea-
sons games. He finished the season
with a percentage of 331.
Had the competition last year been
confined 20 batters, but also provided
for a car to be given to one player in
each league, at it is this year. the two
cars would have gone to Cobb and
Magee. Naturally. leading his own
league and not being rewarded was a
great disappointment to Magce and his
enthusiastic Philadelphia supporters.
If Magee could have repeated his
performance Of last year in the Ma
tional League he no doubt would have
been given a large share of the credit
for the wonderful showing the Phillies
are making this season, and undoubt-
edly would have been one Of the play
crs who would have received careful
by the committee of |
newspaper men who are TO decide on |
the winners of the Chalmers trophy !
this year This would have been true |
had Magee not had his run-in with |
the umpire.
The two automobiles which are to be
awarded this year go to the one player
In each league who, in the opinion of
his committee OF newspaper men. has
lone the most for his club in it's lea
que race. The conduct on and off the
ield is one OF the things to be con-
'idered. Accordingly, the fact that
President Lynch has ruled that Magee
$ TO blame in his controversy with
he umpire and has suspended him for
he season, would remove Magee's
lame from consideration by the Cahl-
ners trophy committee this year.

COMPLAINTS FROM
MANY SECTIONS
Criticisms Of Car Service Is
Not Well founded.

=
The District electric railway commits
sion yesterday considered large num-
Der OF complaints which came in from
all parts OF the city. The Georgetown
Citizens Association complained Of the

asserted that there were not enough
cars IN the morning and afternoon to
provide for the ttafHc me association
win be informed that data obtained shows
that, with the exception OF ons or two
cars. there is no overcrowding, and that
the closing OF the schools will greatly
better conditions. A complaint as TO the
irregularity OF the Anacostia service was
also shown upon investigation not to be
well founded. The same decision was
reached in the matter of a complaint Of
irregularity Of service on the line run
ming to Eighth and F street northeast.
Complaints as to the speed with which
the Falls Church cars are operated in
the city and the nuisance caused by blow
ing whistles were referred to the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Further consideration was given to the
ail-night service, and reports submitted
showing the number of passengers carried
on the present all-night cars A maRL has
been prepared Illustrating the sections of
the city which are now without all-night
service and plan has been drawn show
