ATHLETICS WIN IT.
Baker Establishes New Record for
Hitting in Last Game.

Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-The Ameri-
can league championship for 1911 was
decided when Philadelphia defeated
Detroit. It was the fourth time that
q local team piloted by Connie Mack
has won the pennant in this organiza-
tion and it was the first time that Phil
adelphia has won the title in success
sive seasons. By repeating this year,
Philadelphia earned the right to de-
fend the title of worlds champion,
which 1t won last year in a series with
the Chicago National league club.
Only two teams fought it out for
leading honors in the American league
this season. Philadelphia and Detroit.
The latter got a flying start last spring
and on May 1 9 had a, lead of IL games
over the home team. From that date
the local team gained ground and it
took the lead from Detroit for the first
time on July 4. The next day New
York defeated Philadelphia and the
latter dropped to second place. De-
troit kept in front until August 4, when
Mack's team for the second time
jumped into first place Since then
Philadelphia never has been headed.
The game was won by hard hitting.
Philadelphia drove Willett off the
rubber in three innings and also hit

Spreads to Corporations
If, as claimed by Mr.. Hill and 9TH
ers, the present and predicted further
depression of business is due to extrav-
agance and wastefuIness of living, it is
encouraging to see that the remedy Is
already being applied, says the Rail
way and Engineering Review. The ap-
peals of railway managers to en-
ployees to each save a nickel a day for
the company, to use up stub ends Of
pencils, save stationery, postage STAN ps
etc, are already exerting an influence

A New York stock exchange member
was converted from a bear to a bull by
a little incident which he recently no.
ticed while speeding his sixty-horse-
power automobile through a country
village. A farmer drove up to a hitch
ing post, tied his horse and then muz-
zled him with a feeding bag. This
done, he drew out a live chicken from
the rear of his wagon, tied a string
around it's leg and carefully tied 1t to
the post where it could pick up the
oats which dropped from the horses
table d'hote. The country cannot
really go to the dogs when such care
full econ ony is being practiced. Pos
sibly we shall soon hear of farm in
struction trains which will spread this
gospel of the day of small things into
every rural community.

the latter part of last week and it has
progressed to the place where the
work trains are making wellington
their headquarters.
Several hundred Mexicans and sew
eral trains are being used to carry on
this work. The old roadbed is being
taken out and a new roadbed, entirely
of the gumbo, is being made. The
track is being raised and lowered as
the case requires to bring the track to
conform grade. The curves are all
being worked over and the entire

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Chicago and Bos-
ton broke even in a doubIeheader, the
final games of the years series, Chi
second. In the first game Ruelbach
held the visitors to five scattered hits,
two of which, with a fielder's choice,
netted two runs for the Bostonians. On
the other hand, Weaver and Brown
proved easy prey for the locals, each
being hit freely, while the former was
generous with his passes and the lat
ter's support ragged In the second
game Donnelly, of Boston, was master
of the situation, allowing the locals to
support assisted the locals greatly in
scoring. The Chicagoans used Slap

QUESTIONS. The support behind him was

REBUILDING ENTIRE DIVISION
Katy Employs Big Gang Between Par

Junction City, Sept. 27.=The Katy
has started at work again rebuilding
the Neosho division between
Parsons and Junction City
and this week one gang of nearly
100 men started the work of relay
ing heavier steel from PickWay north.
New ties and rails will be laid from
Pickway to Junction City and the work
will be completed by spring. Last
year new steel bridges were put in and
every preparation made for the bet
terment of the road. This will no
doubt mean that eventually heavier
trains will run north of Parsons and
the much talked of northern route may
be built from Junction City.

FRISCO TIME TABLE TOPICS.
Novel idea of Educating Public on
Railway Questions.


Railway Questions.
St. Louis, Sept. 27.=Another novel
idea has been adopted on the Frisco.
It has adopted the plan of educating
the public through the medium of its
time tables. On each of the thousands
of tables which are distributed to the
public there is a statement shown &
the condition of the railroads of the
United States.
The September time table of the
Frisco contains "Some Facts for the
American Citizen to Consider" The
company instructs the public as fol-
lows:
The net operating revenues of the
railways of the United States, that is,
the receipts from their operation less
the expenditures for maintenance, con-
ducting transportation, taxes and gen.
eral expenses, show a decrease for
each month of the fiscal year begin
ming July, 1910, as compared with the
corresponding month of the previous
year except for the month of Decem-
Der, when there was a slight increase.
The decrease for the month of May
eleven months ending with May 4-10
per cent.
This decrease in net operating reve-
muse averaged SIS per mile for the
month of May, which is about so cents
per mile per day. For the 1900
miles of railroad in the United States
this decrease of SO cents per mile per
day means a total decrease of $4,000
per day, which is at the rate Of nearly
$3600,O00 a month. or over s43,000,-
600 a year, which is over one-seventh
of the amount of net dividends paid by
the railways for the year ending June
80 1910.
