That he not only carries pass, but is

the statement Of W. W. Cotton, Of the
legal department Of the company, in a
letter to Governor West, which was
made public today, The letter follows:
Admits Cochran Is Railroad Employe.
George T. Cochran, Of La Grande,
mentioned in your letter Of April 9,
was on January !, 1918, and since has
been local attorney for the Oregon,
Washington Railroad & Navigation
Company for the county Of Union, and
as such has been looking after the le-
gal business of the company in that
county.
"The authority of the company to
give Mr.. Cochran this pass, and the au.
thority of Mr.. Cochran to use the pass
is found in the railroad commission act
Of 1907, section 81, now L. o. L., sec
tion $685.
"Kindly let me know If I can give
you any additional information in re.
gard to this matter"
Governor Vests Letter,
This letter was in reply to the fol.
lowing from Governor West;
"Tt appears from records that Mr..

not advised as to what extent II was

informed where your line finds its au.

Governor West was not prepared to
say today what action would be taken.
in the matter
Peculiar Circumstances
Inasmuch as Cochran would be called
upon at times to regulate water rights

taken by companies to secure good re.

The fact that Cochran was given q

SCORERS ARE TOO
 LENIENT ON HITS

Ernest J. Lanigan, well known baseball writer has the following to say in Sporting News about the pres ent scoring rules:
 When Jim McAIeer was a manager he complained that his athletes were getting too few errors. It used to make Sunny Jim morose to watch one of his peculiar pastimers misjudge ball and then to lamp the papers the next day in this wise: Bill SnifIxins tripled, to lead the seventh, his three ply wallop being made possible be- cause Jim Jenkins misjudged the ball. It was once McA1eer's idea, it may still be so, that an outf1eIder who uisjudged fly ball erred worse than a man who did the Snedgrass.
 f'The players weep pfteous1y when they find two errors assessed against them in the box score on one play and opine that scorers are prejudiced. Here is the point: A player fum b1es a ball long enough to lose his man at first, then makes a hurry up throw and pegs the ball into the far beyond, the batter hiking to third. That is two errors all right.
 "A gent named Mason in Buffalo Walter C., I think-had the right idea about errors and he used to try to get the papers for whom he corresponded to follow his ideas. I am sorry to say he couldn't. He violated scoring rules but not the rules of common sense. This was Mason's idea: Suppose, with the bases full, shortstop made a wild throw that allowed all three men to score and the batter to reach second. That error was worth to the opposi-

players and also between players and umpires on the field this season have brought the owners and heads or the leagues to a realization that some thing must be done to put a curb on such work, or the first thing they know baseball will be getting into dis repute the same as some other sports.
 There have been frequent scraps on the ball field of late, and most no torious being the fight between the Cleveland and Boston players at Cleveland, and the one on Milwaukee field between Manager Harry Clark of the Brewers and Shortstop Dave At tiger of the Minneapolis team. The latter fight was probably the worst of the two, as the Cleveland and Boston players had their real set-to after the game, while Clark and Altizer fought on the diamond in the presence of the spectators, many of them women in the grand stands. It was a fierce fight between the two men and the fair sex were disgusted, and could they be blamed for being disgusted at such a scene? The provocatio1 may have been sufficient to start the fight, as Clark claimed he had been de1ifo- erate1y spiked, but it would have been much better if Harry could have con trolled his temper and thus have thrown the entire odium uponA the other man.
 Ball players are but the same as other human beings. They have feel ings the same. but they must also know that they are being paid to please the spectators, the same as actors on the stage, and they should learn to control themselves at all times. A boxer in the ring controls himself if he is knocked down or out by an opponent; in fact boxers have proven time and again that they have wonderful control over their feelings, so why not baseball players?
 Players work for salaries the same as clerks in stores and they should work for the benefit of each other Any time a, player goes into a. game with the intention of getting after an umpire and the like, that player is not going to play Nthe game as he should, for his mind is on the umpire and not the game. Managers will gain more by making players attend to the game itself and leave umpires alone, for the nagging of the umps never gained a point for a team and it is this continual nagging that creates most of the troubles on the ball field. The American people like clean baseball and aggressive ball, but there is a difference between az gressive and rowdy ball. Gut out the rough stuff and give us baseball which ladies can attend without fear of be- ing ashamed of lending their pres ence to such contests.

CONG. I. L. REILLY
 DELIVERS GRAFTON
 AT EAGLE SERVICE

The New Haven Aerie of the Fra ternal Order of Eagles held the first memorial service for departed mem bers in it's history at Eagles hall last night, with Congressman Thomas l.. Reilly and Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale as the principal speakers. Congressman Reilly delivered the mem moria1 oration'' and Prof. Phelps delivered the "eulogy'' The roll call of the deceased members, 1O6 in num- Der, was read by Secretary Peter J. ConIin.
 Congressman Reilly, in the oration, dwelt long on the principles of the order. Liberty, Truth, Justice, Equal ity! What a platform for any or der'' he said. Liberty, as the real Fraterna1 Eagle construes it, is the freedom given under the law to everyone to enjoy himself with req son, to pursue his peaceful avocation without interference from any source, and generally to do as he sees fit, so long as there is no infringement of the law or the rights of others. Lib erty. as understood and practiced by the true Eagle, does not mean license or anything that resembles it, and in this day, when liberty is so likely to be- Iconfounded with license, it is well that one of Anerica's great fraternal orders should make liberty the first of it's cardinal principles.
 IL AS OHL41S1y pIOp0T- LOT the SChOOl to teach the children; it is one of the duties of an education system, but the child mind often fails to conpre- bend it's real scope, and the boy and girl leaves school with somewhat blur red or indefinite ideas about liberty Left in that uncertain condition, it Is not a sufficient task to lead the youth full mind into undesirable and un- American channels, where a far diff ferent creed is taught. The safety of our country, the glory and growth of the republic, the perpetuity of Amer ican institutions depend upon what the future men and women of America are taught that liberty means.
 And what better post graduate school, to supplement the early educa- tional teachings than a high purposed faternal society like the F. O. B., that has placed liberty first in it's quartet of virtues and has made loy- atty to the flag an essential to mem bership p

 Henry Chadwick tried to get the old guard to do som mething of the same kind as regards hits that forwarded base runners, it being his contention that a player who doubled and scored a man from first ought to be credited with wa1lop that was good for five bases.

TY COBB LEADING
 AMERICAN LEAGUE EATERS

Chicago, May 1s@"Ty' Cobb is back in form, at least the unofficial batting averages for the first month of the season show the Detroit slug ger leading the American League with a percentage of, .4ss for the 12 games in which he has taken part. Five American Leaguers are hitting better than 400, Henriksen of Boston, with All! Schaefer, Washington, .444; Col lins, Philadelphia, .432; Jackson. Cleveland, .423.
 No National Leaguers are batting at such a rate but Gathers of St. Louis. for ten games is pretty near tf1e 400 mark with .391 and leads the league. Cleveland with .275 and Pittsburgh with .265 are club leaders at the bat in their respective leagues.
