Free Press. There are people, but
little past middle age who can recol-
lect that that part of the country
where Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma
and other prosperous states are stu
ated, was supposed to be desert ut
terly unfit for agriculture. A great
part of Texas was at that time regard
ed as a sterile waste, but it is now
covered with cities, towns and viii
lagos. Within a generation Canada
hes doubled her population and null
tiplied many times her wealth, and
yet the rich forests Of Labrador and
splendid regions about Hudson Bay
are almost untouched. 1t is not i'm
probable that the younger generation
in America will, during the next half
century, witness such financial aud
industrial power in the northern half
of the Western Hemisphere as the
world has never before known.

NATIONAL BATTING.
MAGEE WANTS A HEARING.
He and Philadelphia Officials Insist That President Lynch Acted Hastily.

Philadelphia, July 23.-Sherwood Magee, the outfelder of the Philadel- pha National league club, who was re- gently suspended for the balance of the 1911 baseball season, by President Lynch, for his attack on Umpire Fin neran, forwarded a request today to the five directors of the National league, asking that he be given a hearing. Magee and the officials of the Philadelphia club insist that MT. Lynch acted hastily in suspending and fining Magee $200. It is contended that the head of the league heard only the testimony of the umpires who acted during the game in which the row oc- cured. In order that Magee might give his version of the affair, a spe- cial meeting of the board was demand ed.
 On Saturday, Horace S. Fogel, pres ident of the Philadelphia club, tele- graphed to the directors, requesting that they take up the matter. Two of the directors, MT. Fogel said today, favored a meeting of the board to consider the case; one reply was in definite, the fourth from John T. Brush suggested a mail vote instead of a meeting, and the fifth member of the board has not yet answered the tele- gram sent him.
 The board to which Magee and the club has appealed is composed of Au- gust Hermann, Cincinnati; John T. Brush. New York: Barney Dreyfuss,

LITTLE AND ToUcHARD
 WON THE FINALS.
New Workers Defeat Wright and Niles at Lonawood and Go to Chicago Next Month,

Boston, July 24.-The east will he represented in Chicago next month in the four cornered struggle for the right to challenge for the national lawn ten his championship on the doubles by Raymond D. Little and G. F. Touchard of New York, who today won the finals in the double event at Longwood against B. c. Wright and w. W. Nilss of Boston, 6-4, 6-2, 1-5.
 Touchard led the attack against the Boston pair, well backed up by Little. while Niles was the weak point in the defense of the local team. Yet with all his brilliancy. especially in the back court, Touchard astonished the spec tators in the first set by scoring four double faults in succession and hand ing across the net what was appar- ently sure game for his side.
 Wright played hard to make up for the weakness of his partner and cov- cred court in a remarkable manner.
 Little and Touchard started strong and carried off several games before Wright and Niles found their pace The first set was , to 4 when the New Workers ran it out. The pace was hot ter in the second set. yet the score stood the same as in the first set In the third and what proved to be the

SHEPPARD AFTER JONES.
Crack Half Miller Thinks He Will Win
 Longer Event.

The question as to who is the best mile runner in America will be set tied next Saturday at Washington park, Brooklyn, when Mel Sheppard and John Paul Jones, worlds record holder for the event, meet in match race at the annual games of St. Agnes A. A. It is also possible that Abel Kiviat, national champion, will com pete in this event. and if he does it will surely go down in history as one of the best ever run there.
 Sheppard, who is essentially a half mile runner. has the mile bee buzzing in his head and thinks that he can defeat any enc in the country in this event It was only after an almost fearful session that Lawson Robertson, coach of the Irish American A. C., induced his star to run in his regular event at the national championship meet at Pittsburg. Sheppard won the race and esta blished a new America Il record, but was heartbroken after the race because he did not have a chance to run against Kiviat.
 It is doubtful if Sheppard was ever in such good form as at the present time. He has trained faithfully for the mile race with the idea of beat ing Kiviat and taking Jones meas ure.

o'TooLE BRINGS $22,5oo. Pittsburg Pays Record Price for St PauFs Great Spitbali Pitcher.

Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburg club of the National league, bought Martin O'Toole, St. PauTs spit ball pitcher, Saturday, for $22,500, the highest price in the history of organ player. All the bidders dropped out except Dreyfuss and Mike Cantillon, who was acting for Charles Comiskey of the Chicago Americans.
 O'Too1e lately struck out IT men in a game with Milwaukee, equaIling he defeated the heavy-hitting Minne- apolis team, striking out ten of them. In previous game with Toledo he struck out II men, and he jumped in a short time into the national lime light. Bresnahan of St. Louis started the bidding by offering about s15,000 for O'Toole and Kelly, his catcher. Cleveland and Chicago, attracted by the showing of the youngster, made offers and the price advahced a thou sand at a time until yesterday, when George E. Lennon named s25,000 as his price for O'Toole alone. This caused a dropping of all efforts to get the pitcher by every one except Drey- fuss and Cantillon.
 Canti11on offered sRo,ooO as final bid the limit set by the Chicago mag nate. After some haggling Dreyfuss split the difference and proffered Lennon a check for $22, 300. After some summoned and announced himself satisfied to go to Pittsburg, but said he would like to have Kelly go with him. Dreyfuss is said to have offered $5,000 for Kelly, but Lennon is de- sirous of realizing at least s7,5oo for at the end of the American association season.

COBB GAINS TWO POINTS.
His Average for 84 Games is 44o-
 Murphy Is at .243.

Ty Cobb the demon hitter of the major leagues, added two points to his batting average the past week, and is out in front. setting the pace, with the wonderful record of .440. The De- troit wonder must average hit for about every two times he is at bat in order to take the crown from Hugh Duffy, who holds the major league batting average for a season of .43S.
 Joe Jackson of the Cleveland club is making a strong bid for the 400 mark and lacks only 12 points of the inner circle. Cobb has made 147 hits while Jackson is credited with 126. Craw- ford, Cobb's great running mate, is pounding out the hits in brilliant fash ion and is now only six points behind Jackson.
 Nap Lajoie, who is doing the pinch hitting for the Blues, is carrying an average of 1882, only two points under his great record of last season. When Lajoie gets back in the game, the Blues will have two sensational stick CTS to pit against Detroit's great pair.
 Hans Wagner is belting the leather very industriously for the Pirates and is the top man in the National with a mark of .342. Clarke also of the Pi- rates, is only four points behind the Flying Dutchnan Luderus of the Phillies, who-has made IA home runs this season, is also there with the sin gles, the ex-Cub having made an av- craze of 1929.

New York, July 24.-Baltimore will not obtain a franchise in the National league without precipitating baseball war between the leagues, according to Edward Barrows, president of the Eastern league, who issued statement tonight criticising ceratin members of the National league. President Bar rows said he was feeling pretty sore" over the manner in which Baltimore was induced to believe that it, might get the Boston National league fran chise. A transfer would be impossible 2, he said. unless the National agreement was broken.
 Yet the president of the National league tand several of it's club owners have allowed themselves to be quoted as favoring the Ghange," continued President Barrows' Statement, ''ignor- ing the Eastern league and it's rights entirely in the matter, when in reality the Eastern league is the key to the whole situation and should have been the first one to be consulted. Of course there is nothing to prevent the Na- tional or any other league going into Baltimore if they desire to break up the present system of organized base ball and start another baseball war. They might get in the first punch by landing Baltimore, but they would get bly, a couple of the same kind in other parts that would hurt more.
 From the published interviews with several major league magnates on. the Baltimore matter, it looks as if the much vaunted protection supposed to be given to the Class 4 leagues was a joke At any rate, the Eastern league does not intend to stand idly by and see it's circuit disrupted without fight tC r,ravnnf if

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
TRADING WAS SLOW.
Stocks Seemed to Drift, But the Senti
 ment Was BuIlish.

New York, July Achievements in the stock market today indicated that the period of increased activity and rising prices which enlivened specula- tlon last week had been terminated. for the present, at least. Trading was slow throughout today's sessions and stocks seemed to drift rather than tc move in response to any clearly de- fined motive. After an irregular open ing with most prices slightly lower the market hardened. Union Pacific, which has outranked United States Steel and Reading on several occasions lately as a speculative faverite, again took the lead, rising a point, and held it throughout the day. The advance, however, was of short duration. Be- fore noon prices weakened and gains were lost quickly; toward the end cf the day stocks were sold on a some what higher scale and receded further, the close showing losses generally dis tributed, though few of the active is- sues lost more than a point.
 A onspicuous feature of the market was the heaviness of the Northwestern group of railroads. In the afternoon reaction the Hill and Hartman stocks and St. Paul fell back more than a point. Canadian Pacific was heavy throughout. The setback in these is- sues immediately after the passage of the reciprocity bill by the senate prob ably was due to profit taking by hold CTS who look for no immediate exten- sion of the movement now that this country had done it's part.
 Atchison was strong point in the railroad list and was the center of speculative interest for a time in the afternoon on account of the large trad- ing in it. Most of the buying was at tributed to group of operators that has at times been active in important bull movements.
 Among the irregulars, General Elec- tric and National Biscuit both recent bull favorites receded, while Beth1e- hem Steel which is usually inactive, achieved prominence with a two point rise. Strength of the latter stock was associated with the larger earnings of ths last fiscal year, which have led to talk of renewal of dividends on the preferred issue.
 Despite the moderate recessions as a result of the days operations senti- ment in the street was largely bullisn. This was due In part to reports of rain in the corn belt and to prospects of the early adjournment of congress-
 Western railway officials reported better conditions during the past week. Traffic on the western roads is slightly ahead of this period of last year. The better crop outlook has re- newed confidence, although general business is still slow and hesitating. Official figures of earnings of all rail- roads in May showed a decrease of 5.5 per cent. in operating income.

MAY MERGE LEAGUES.
Connecticut and New England Cir. cults to Be Combined, It is Rumored.

The opinion is gaining ground daily that there will be 8 merger of the Connecticut and New England leagues next season for a bigger and better and real New England league. As the tenyear agreement of the New Eng land league expires this year, there will not be any trouble on that end if the scheme is well thought of by the magnates. If such move is made, the probability is that it will mean a circuit consisting of four Massachu- sets and four Connecticut cities, with Springfield. Worcester, Lynn and Lawrence on the Bay state end
 It is also likely that Tim Murnane, now and for many years president of the New England league, would be president of the body and the public would have some confidence then in the management of the circuit Jim O'Rourke would undoubtedly be secre- tary, thus giving one of the offices to the present New England league and one to the Connecticut league. It is said that MT. Murnane isn't satisfied with some of the petty politics being played in the New England league cir cult and that he will not stand for re- election if the circuit contains the same cities as it does now.
