refused to announce any action in the
matter. 1t is believed he will make
an investigation Sunday. HoIycross
will be suspended. 1t Is thought, and
heavy fine assessed.

tanner, was able to repeat Saturday in
a game full of thrills The CASTOR

was good enough to humble his form

Story of the Game.

Opposing Burch was Coleman, who
found difficulty In slipping through
the game against such heavy stickers
as Muscatine But it was that man
Alperman, who is the longest clouter
in the Central Association, that made
possible an early victory for the
visitors.
Alperman is left hand hitter who
strikes with terrific force and on
two of those terrific occasions he
met the ball squarely. Once he sent
the ball where only one other player
in the world has sent sphere in a
championship game-over the Joy
athletic field grandstand. Windy
Lotshaw. then with Galesburg, did it
last year, but the hit made by Alper-
man was even longer. And two in
nings later he drove one that drop
ped within two feet of the right field
fence for what is regarded as the
longest hit ever made within the
park. Those two hits were good for
the first three runs made by the visi-
tors.

Burch Strong in Middle.


Burch was invincible in the fourth,
fifth, sixth and seventh rounds dur
ing which time only one hit was
made off him.
But in the eighth Keokuk made a
squirt that sewed up the game only
to have the one run lead overcome
by the camels in the following half
Weak pitching by Burch, loose sup
port and few timely hits by Keokuk
enabled the Indians to pile up four
runs and fans took on new life when
they saw the score to 6.

the beans. Alperman, first up, hit an
easy one to Painter Belt started for
the ball and then allowed the second
sacker to handle it, but instead of

Coleman did, but the play was made
difficult and Painter did not throw in
such way that the pitcher could
get the ball. The throw went wide and
Alperman was perched on second.

retired at third, but Yeager hit a

clouted for two bases and Hart went

American Merchants Criticised.

Argentina, ike almost all foreign
countries with which the United
States does business, has her share of
complaints of the unsatisfactory
methods employed by Americans. One
is of the losses due to pilfering on the
New York docks. This is said to be
due to the fact that, contrary to usual
practice in Europe. United States
shippers deliver goods to and get
receipt from a wharf company instead
of dealing with the steamship conf
panies direct. This leads to many
legal complications. lawsuits and
claims for damages involving long de
lays, to say nothing of the fact that
when shipments are received in the
Argentine it is found that the orders
are incompletely filled, and this natur-
ally causes friction between importer
and exporters. Losses are said to be
especially heavy on shipments of
canned Holsters. reyolvers, safety
razor blades and cigars.
Complaints are also made by Ar
gentine purchasers to the effect that
North American exporters consider
that they have fulfilled their contract
with Argentine buyers as to date of
delivery when such date of delivery is
covered by receipt from wharf or
warehouse company on the New York
docks. Argentine purchasers of
United States goods say that in this
way the shippers evade responsibility
for date of final delivery.

CURREN0 COMMENT

Pacific States Telephone Company to kill

the monomoply The bluff of E. E. Webster
the general manager of the Independent, to
the effect he means to protect the interests
of the stockholders of his company, is so thin
that you can see through it when you even
look the other way. It's all for a telephone
trust One telephone system is all the city
should patronize, but that one system
should belong to the municipality, and If
the voters desire to protect themselves they
will start different kind of agitation, which
will be for the city to own a system OF its
own and then let the Pacific States Iele-
phone monopoly charge just as much as it
pleases Nothing gave the citizens OF Sc
attic cheap electric lights until the city put
in it's own plant and the rates were at once
cut in twain, and now they are being re-
duced at least twenty-five per cent more,
all the result of the municipal lighting plant.
The citizens are not getting a square deal
from the Pacific States Telephone Company
and will never do so until they take the bull
by the horns and install municipal tele

Public Opinion Sways.

This telephone controversy, which is
being directed at the Independent Tele-
phone Company, when those who have been
residents of Seattle for the past ten years
stop and think for a moment, becomes ex-
tremely amusing, and it demonstrates the
fact that public opinion sways to and fro
like the pendulum of clock 1t was bitter
war against the Sunset Telephone Company
that brought the Independent into the field
and it was the continuous warfare against
the Sunset that prompted the citizens to
order the system out of their service until
it was estimated the company had lost near
ly 10000 instruments and contracts. The
Sunset company saw it had to do something
in return for the money it was actually rob-
bing the people of and so it improved its
system and began at once to do a political
stunt all of itself, and as a result, the same
men that were fighting it are now for it, and
just as pronounced against the Independent
as they were the Sunset.

Municipal Telephone for Seattle.

Figure it by whatever rule you will or
may you reach the same results, the raising
of the rates of the Independent Telephone
Company was fathered by the principal
stockholders of that company, who are also
the principle stockholders of the Pacific
States Telephone Company, which has
perpetual franchise that permits it to
charge the patrons hundred dollars per
month for each instrument, if it so desires;
the present agitation to have the business
men of the city cut out the Independent on
account of the increased rate are shrewd
moves on the parts of the friends of the

Turkey Takes a Tumble.


1t is refreshing to learn from the great
metropolitan centers of the United States
that turkeys will not only be cheaper this
year for Thanksgiving, but will be more
plentiful than they have been for years
past. If there is anyone thing that the aver
age citizen of the United States heartily en-
joys it is big fat turkey for Thanksgiving
The father and the mother who do not seek
to bedecl their table on that national hOli-
doy and day of Thanksgiving with not only
juicy turkey as big and as fat as can be had
but with everything else that is palatable,
are not worthy to be the mother and father
of boys and girls. The trusts in the past
have seen to it that the price of turkeys was
so high that it was like eating grains of
gold to have one for Thanksgiving, but for
the most part all had one, inspite Of high
prices, and now that turkeys will sell at a
reasonable price and the market will show
no signs of a shortage we hope that young
America will spread itself on Thanksgiving
