Monopoly Of Gable
Business impossible

There is no cable monopoly poe
sible. The three systems--the
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-will continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-
Ing control of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
If operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
transatlantic cable business:
I-RETTER SERVICE. This WILDE
insured by more efficient and econom-
icai working resulting from single
direction over the operations Of both
cables and land lines.
s-PUBLTc ADVANTAGES. The
greater part Of the cable capacity has
been and is now unutiIized. It win
continue TO lie dormant and unutilixed
under existing conditions and tradi-
tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities usefiai
TO the public by means Of new kinds
of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationaiize It's land lines by
opening them to ali trans Atlantic
cable companies.

BY HUGH 5. FULLERTON.

The repartee of the baseball field is
fast and cutting and as one young col
lege man remarked after his first
taste of the cutting incisive repartee
of the major leagues, This amt no
place for gentleman" 1t is as Dode
Crisis remarked after short fight in
an aeroplane: TITS fine and exhilarat-
ing, but l don't recommend it to a
nervous person as a sure cure"
The object of most of the repartee
of the diamond is to test the nerve
and temper of the opponents, and the
player who permits the rough rail-
iery to shake either his confidence or
his temper is going back just as surely
as when he commences to foul balls
onto his feet-which In baseball is
said to be the surest sign of retrogres-
sion
One of the sharpest passages of re.
partee during the last season was the
duel of words between Charlie Red"
Doom, the scrappy little manager and
catcher of the Philadelphia Nationals,
and Joe Tinker the shortstop of the

a good time to see whether or not he
could Jar the nerves of the new man
ager. SO when Tinker came to bat
each time during the game he cut
loose with a fine line of insulting in
situations. He went out twice with
out getting hit and each time he
added to his line of conversation.
You're fine manager" he remark
ed over his shoulder as he faced the
pitcher the third time. Where do
you get off, you cheap skate? You
grabbed managers job and cheated
a good man out of decent salary"
He kept adding to that line of con-
versation while Doom, busily catch
ing, was retorting in kind.
You get $4,000 for managing and
catching and rob Gleason of salary

There is rule on the Detroit club,
ever since Hughie Jennings became
It's manager, that when a player is
hurt he shall pretend not to be. The
object of the rule is to "phaze" the
other team. During the early summer
Jim Delehanty observed the rule of
the club in one of the greatest dis
plays of nerve ever shown on the ball
field. Del was trying to steal second
The second Jbaseman showed his leg
out to block the runner while he took
the throw and Del made a hard twist
ing slide trying to get past the leg
which had him stymied and to reach
the bag. His leg smashed against the
leg Of the baseman with terrific force
and otter the baseman had touched
him ont he hobbled around on one foot
groaning and rubbing his shin and
abusing Del for trying to hurt him.
Keep your leg out of the way and
quit blocking runners and you won't
get hurt" gritted Del as he arose
from the dust. Some of you fellows
win get your gambs chopped of try
ing tc block us." And he arose and
staggered over TO the bench.
Once concealed in the bench he
called the trainer, who stripped down
his stocking and discovered that the
spikes of the baseman had gouged his
leg alcng the shin bone for four inches
literally scraping the flesh of the
bone.
It was that injury which practically
put the Tigers out of the American
league pennant race, as Infection set

game against Philadelphia about the
middle of the season. White had great
speed but poor control that day and
Gibby was having his own troubles
In the eighth inning Pittsburg was a
run to the good, two of the Phillies
were out and a man on first. Gibson
signalled White to pitch out as he
suspected that the runner on first base
would attempt to steal on the next
pitched ball. White pitched out But
the pitch out was wild and extremely
fast and Gibby had to leap sideways
to grab the ball with his bare hand
and prevent wild pitch. He stabbed
the ball with his unprotected hand
far back in the palm almost on the
wrist. The runner had suspected
pitch out and remained standing still
on first base. He still was holding
the base when he saw that something
was the matter with the big Piraa
catcher. Gibby was acting strangely,
standing looking at his right hand
and shaking off his mitt to use his left
hand. The runner moved toward sec.
ond base, saw Gibson wasn't trying to
throw and made dash, reaching sec
ond without an attempt being made to
stop him. A hit scored the runner,
tieing it up and later Philadelphia

as agreeing that at least so per cent

and the latter Of the products of the

the cost of the finished product is la

says:
