Harry Wolverton, who used TO be
in the same league with Witt, says
that Oscar had the same misfortune

coast.
II is getting to be a regular story
that some new Tiger breaks into the
game about every day. McDermott.
the former Providence third base
man, was the player TO do so yester-
day He went in at left field mainly
to have a chance TO show himself at

His debute was not so brilliant as
that OF Bashang, but he acquit-.
ted himself nobly, coming across with
double at an opportune time He
took three trials before he did that

ing TO short once. Bush's sacrihce
and Cobb's triple scored him.
In his only chance on the bases
the little fellow showed plenty or

He is small but evidently there.

There was nothing to that Tiger
victory yesterday but better pitching
and more and better timed hitting
by the Tigers. Willett worked finely,
allowing only five hits and passing
two men. The Tigers got nine hlts
off Caldwell, most of which came az
opportune times.

Moriarty and Delahanty May See
Lesser Lights Shine In
Their Places
BY RALPH L. YoNKER.


II is not by any means ball-playing
ability or lack OF II that keeps a
man on or on major league baseball
club I'm the position that the Tigers
are In now.
In the cold business OF baseball
with It's rules and regulations. It's ma.
tional commission, and its mercenary
standards, a man with greater ability
may have TO stay useless on the
bench and see one OF lesser accom-
plishments doing his work for him.
On the other hand. one who posses
hardly enough ability TO hold mis- pos
ition In the open season" for re-
leases may keep his job and salary
sand still remain useless to a team
for fear that his release may prove
10 be disadvantage.
Moriarty Is one Of the Tigers who
may be forced to warm the bench and
see q man OF much sess capability
handle his Job for some time. lefty
? Onslow, the youngster recently pur-
chased for $1,000 from Lansing, is
due TO start at the first sack today.
He may be kept there because or
aheer ability; reports say that he Is
a fine player and he may beat George
out OF his job on pure merit. On the
other hand he may not play quite so
good a game but may be kept at the
position In order to give him thor
ough trial.
Delahanty has seen kids shove him
from one job to another, from infield
to outfeld and back again and then
out OF the lineup altogether, partly
because these same kids were play
ing better ball than Jimdel and part
ly because Hughie wanted to see
what these youngsters could do.
But while there may be some dis
/. agreeable features to the old-timers
in the results Of the business ele-
) ment OF the game when with losing
team, there Is recompense to the
men who are just starting In.
Bashang, for instance, the speedy
kid. obtained from the Lexington club
in the Blue Grass league, Will be
kept In Detroit until the end OF the
season and then taken south with the
team In the spring, because the II
gers would subject him to the draft
II he were returned TO the club from
which he came, and he might be lost
TO them.
There Is little danger Of Deal or
Onslow being turned back TO the
clubs from which they came for the
same reason. Also too much money
was paid for them to max that look
wise.

June II. 1905, was on January 8, 1908,
held to be unconstitutional. Another
Of this sort was passed on April %,
1908 which as yet has not been tested
In the courts. Through the efforts Of
the president a commission was ap.
pointed to make an investigation Of
the subject Of employers liability
and workmen's compensation"
Labor Men Appointed.
The report of the commission, the
evidence taken before it and the draft
Of the bill prepared as a result Of the
findings Of said commission have been
transmitted to congress, accompanied
by a special message by President
Taft in which he recommends the
passage Of the proposed measure. In
their deliberations the members Of
the commission had the benefit of fire.
Quent consultations with the president
1t is believed the act will stand the
test Of constitutionality.
In order that the commission might
have the benefit Of the experience of
q practical man President Taft ap.
pointed as one Of its members Daniel
L. Cease, the editor of the Railroad
Trainmen's Journal, the official organ
Of the railroad trainmen. Mr.. Cease
has devoted the best years Of his use
full life to the cause Of labor. The
president also appointed experienced
labor men as inspectors under the To-
connective boiler inspection law. They
were John f. Ensign Of Colorado and
Frank McManamy of Oregon for chief
inspector and assistant chief inspector
respectively.
The defects In the present eight hour
law have not escaped the attention of
President Taft. He has recommended
to congress amendments which will
make it really effective by providing.
that public works shall be construed
to include not only buildings and
works upon public grounds, but also
ships armor and large guns when
manufactured in private yards or fac
tories"
Thirty Years Service.
With regard to the high cost of liv-
ing, which increases the burden of the
wage earners, President Taft has al
ready taken the initiative that will re-
suit in a worldwide inquiry into this
problem. He has advocated the as
sembling Of a worlds congress to dis
cuss its varied phases and to suggest
remedies.
This unparalleled record Of thirty
years service to the cause Of all the
people 10 deserving Of consideration.
No charge Of broken faith or Of broken
promises can be made, no hint Of de-
parture from the plain path of duty
can be laid at the door of William
Howard Taft, who without ostenta-
tious display has wisely and fearless
ly administered the trust imposed upon
him in 1908, when he was elected to
his high Office by the votes of labor
ing men. .f ''....

NEW UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

A system for the universal language
has been discovered, which it is
claimed will make it possible for per-
sons of different tongues to learn it
in few hours sufficiently we'll to con-
verse together. Prof. Otto Jasperson
of the University Of Copenhagen, Is
one Of it's originators, and it is called
lido" He is willing to send the key
to any gathering of persons to try it.
He says it Is not beautiful language,
but much richer than the Frenchman's
English, or the Englishman's German.
Should it be adopted, people the world
over could call for their golden grain
belt beers in the same language.
