The greatest goat in baseball his
tory is indubitably the mighty Casey.
What would DeWOlf Hopper do with
out him?
When the Detroit club won the Am
ericau league pennant three times in
succession under the fiery leadership
of Hughey Jennings the premium on
baseball team work slumped- 1t was
an open secret that the Tigers employ
ed only the skeleton of a secret code
and relied on waEoping the ball ana
individual effort to pile up scores ana
thus a pennant-.
But it proved nothing save that Jen-
nings had a wonderful bunch Of slug
gers, perhaps the most wonderful N
the history OF the game taken IN the
aggregate. But this mauling or the
ball could not be absolutely relied upon
and the result was that the DeJrolt
club was made to look cheap IN three
successive worlds series.
Behold. now. Connie Mack who has
always been an advocate or INSIDE
ball He slaps together club when
goes to a Dennant and then 10 a WOrld
championship and il was done greatly
on the merit Of team work Even
though they were beaten the first
game by New York those who knew
the Athletics well felt sure that the
slick system Of Mack would triumph
before the series was over and II dld.
Jennings's team was one which relied
absolutely on work individuansuc Whlle
Comics club plays as unit with the
one grand goal Of victory. It has been
said that the DetrOiters were more
Jealous Of their individual batting aT-
erages than anything else.
Strai ght-away smuggling IS great
thing in baseball and necessary to win
But this sort Of ball is erraic whereas
the team which fineses its work with
team play can always be relied upon
to be the toughest kind Of an oppon-
ent, when it is not a victor

JUDGE A. {. HELM
CLAIMS RA TES
ARE FAR TOO HIGH.
Associated Press.

AsSUtldltu L iCoo-
Salt Lake City, Aug. 29.-Western
railroad rates were disucssed before
the Transmississippi Commercial con-
gress here this morning by Judge A.
Z. Helm of Wichita, Kans., who
spoke in support of his resolutions
prohibiting the ownership OF water
carriers by railroads, favoring the
extension of the authority of the in
terstate commerce commission over
toastwise traffic and favoring an
amendment giving the commission
the power to fix minimum as well
as maximum rates. Although the
government had created a splendid
harbOr at Galveston, he said, II was
OF no benefit to any point outside of
Texas because of prohibitive rates
maintained by the railroads in the
southwest.
The Judge said that the railroads
controlled the water traffic between
New York and Galveston and made
up for the loss of water business by
the high rates that they We're en-
abled 10 charge on rail traffic from
New York.
While the western states should
have great wholesale centers supplied
from the ports of the gulf, this never
would be so long as the rates were
made in the interest of eastern dis
tributors.
On motion of the president, the
Transmississippi congress was au-
thorized to appoint committee of
seven to look after transportation
legislation.
John Brisbane Walker spoke this
morning on the UInama Pacific eX-
position and the benefits which it
would confer on the west and the

The first resolution of Judge Helm
was defeated by close vote after ar
gument had been presented that the
law proposed would give the Canad-

Criticism Caused Taft to Revoke
Order to Invade Managua,

NO DANGER IN NEXT TWO DAYS
Associated Press.


Washington. Aug. 29.-The ad-
verse criticism OF the state depart
ment's Central American policy dur
ing the closing hours OF the last
session OF congress, with intimations
that the American army would be
sent TO Nicaragua soon after con-
gress adjourned, Is believed by sew
eral officials to be the reason that
actuated the president in revoking
the order to send the 10th infantry
from the canal zone to Nicaragua.
All authorities on international
law in the state, war and navy de-
partments have practically agreed
that there is no technical difference
between khaki clad soldiers and the
marines or blue Jackets when em-
ployed as a land force in foreign
country. But there is n public SEN
timent which Invariably associates
the landing of soldiers with actual
warfare from military point of
view.
1t was said at the war department
that the only effect of the presidents
action of last night will be to slight
ly retard the assembly of sufficient
American force in Nicaragua to in
sure the maintenance of communica
tion between the American legation
az Managua and the warships at Cor

1t is not believed that American
lives will be in danger for the next
two days.
