1t is a certainty that neither the 81
Louis club, which finished next to the
bottom, or the Washington team, which
finished next to the top, would have
claimed the winner, for these two COM
binations possessed the ablest missers
in the junior organization. The Browns

Ty Cobb does not strike out very
frequently, and when he does miss
three in a row more than once in a

some left handler is opposing the tt

The New Haven Wreck Inquiry.

A singular reversion of conditions OBJ
tains in the case of the official inquiry
INTO the latest New Haven railroad
wreck, which is being conducted at
New Haven by the coroner and the
chief engineer of the public utilities
commission of Connecticut. Ordinarily
il is the railroad that stands between
the public. and the facts and excrts its
influence to prevent publicity. In the
present instance, however, the secrecy
of the inquiry Is explained by the coro-
ner and the state official on the ground
that it is deemed unwise to allow the
statements made to fall into the hands
of possible defendants in case criminal
prosecution follows. Naturally In these
circumstances the railroad authorities
are now speaking for fully open SEES
sions and denouncing the action of the
public officials In closing the doors.
II is of course distasteful to the pub
lie TO find the doors of such an i'm
portant investigation closed. and a pro-
test is consequently arising against the
course pursued. But. after ALL what
is of chief Importance Is that the facts
be ascertained promptly by authorities.
