JOE JACKSON. CLEvEIIAND's STAR OUT
FIELDER.
fat, husky years. In that time he has
never dropped below the nobby 800
boundary. He has peered over the
400 hedge twice. His total batting
average for these five years registers
1888. Taking Cobb's personal men
ton by years, the statistics appear in
the following form: 1908, .324; 1909,
377; 1910, 1856; 1911, 400; 1912. 40.
Dating back Mr. Cobbs royal record
to the time that Joe Jackson became
'steemed contemp of this smashout
southerner, you find that Tyrus has
an average as fat as an elephants
instep.
Now skim your orbs across the Jack
son dope sheet during his three years
of chopping down the old B. A. When
Jackson slambanged for an entire sea-
son he just naturally fell into the
lockstep with It. Raymond. Joe slater
ated the shoots for .3ST in 1910 and
had the proud and distinguished place
of honor among the potentates of the
/ punch for that year. His two follow
4 ing seasons netted him the following
numerals: .40S and .395 These figures
and figures are supposed to tell nc
MISUNDERSTANDING him as .40t
puncher without fuss or furbelows.

Georgia Peach In Hitting Line.
Cobb, Jackson, Baker, b-Z-z-z-z! Ev
cry time that the ordinary A. L.
hurlster thinks of this humping trio
he grabs hold of his Adams apple to
discover if he is still walking around
in one chunk.
1t is the earnest but none the less
sincere belief of the gent who gyrates
his typewriter to get out these items
for the paper that the battle for lead
ing biffster of the Johnson organiza-
ton in 1913 will be a battle royal be-
tween these three monarchs of Maui.
Jackson and Baker are due to thump
the everlasting wadding out of the ball
this season. They have been quietly
grooming themselves for the task Of
stealing the trophy from the glittering
Cobb. This season both youngsters
should be at least at their best. 1t
took Tyrus Raymond a couple of sea-
sons to acclimate himself to the big
show 1t was three years before he
started to violate the Sherman act as
4 a hitter.
/ Cobb's first season saw him taking
/ the place of a wabbly brother at the
shank of the year. The Tiger had been
4 chawed and clawed until he looked
/ like pussy with ring in its beak.
4 Cobb stepped into his shoes and never
deserted the footwear Ty is the only
gent in the Johnson aggregation who
cultivated the 400 habit and allowed ii
/ to stick to him. He looks, of course
/ like the best bet to smash his way to
4 stellar hoRors as the sweetest swatsteI
in 1913. But the two other chaps are
a-humming along and may shuttle past
1y to the post.
Skim over Jackson's record since he
has been a member in good standing
. AS Naplander he was n pretty frisky
son of Swat. You may not believe it
but in Joseph's major league slam
ming tests he has better average
than Tyrus Cobb. Look over the sta
tistics of these lairds of Lam. Cobb

MORE RAILROAD MONEY.

The railroads have been trying for a
long time to get leave to raise their
freight rates. The latest report of the
Bureau OF Railway Economics summar-
lies the situation in brief after this
fashion.
The reports fer August, reduced to
the per mile Of lire basis and COM
pared with the reports for August,
1912, show an increase in operating
revenues per mile Of 6 per cent and
an increase in operating expenses per
mile OF IL per cent. The net operat-
ing revenue per mile was less by 1913
per cent, than for August 1917 while
that for August 1912 was Ill per cent
greater than that for August 1911.
This is the report of roads operating
80 per cent of the steam railway mile
age of the United States. 1t shows,
then. that there is an increase in op-
Grating expenses against a decrease of
operating revenue.
There is pending a demand In pay
that will amount to about $50,OoO,000
year. Advances have been made in
great many cases and coinpacts en-
tered into which involve an increase
in the rate of wages that corresponds
with the increase in cost of living. In
cidentally, the cost Of living is au-
vanced to railroads as to persons. Sup
plies used by the roads have them.
selves advanced in price SO that a
road may, as it were, complain OF the
high cost of living as well as the citi
zen.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion has thus far sturdily refused to
allow the companies to advance their
rates, even to the extent OF per cent,
as they have petitioned, and yet it
seems as if 1t is going to be impossible
to put the roads into first class condl-
ton and keep them there unless they
can charge a rate that will enable
them to make fair return On their
securities and thus enable them to
make a credit in the market that will
put them in funds.
The best railway judgment of the
United States inclines to the opinion
that billion year ought to be spent
for term of years to put the r-il
roads into condition At for handling
the business of the country.
Every day emphasizes the proof OF
that Judgment. 1t is clearly out OF the
question for the roads to go on advanc-
ing wages and paying higher prices
for supplies and still have no larger
revenue than was the case when the
scale of wages and OF prices was
markedly lower than 1t Is today.

that puts the catch in catching cold"
The most startling thing about this
much too common cold germ is,
however, the fact that he resides
hahitually in virulent, that is, business
like form, in the mouths, throats or
nasal passages of twenty per cent OF
all adults. In a tame form we find
him present in practically every mouth
especially where the teeth are neg
lected or the tonsils diseased.
How shall we stop spreading
"colds?'
Stop splitting, except in proper re-
ceptacles which will dispose of the
expectoration In sanitary manner.
Don't sleep two in bed. No open
face sneezing or coughing. Let cold
sufferers use separate dishes and
utensils. Boil their handkerchiefs be-
fore tossing them into the wicker
basket. See that children swap
neither pencils nor gum nor candy.
Don't isolate the cold" victim as you
would leper; just be Infinitely clean
medically aseptic-in your relations
with him.
But most important of all, forget
your weather-phobia. Come on out
the air Is fine!

I'M DEFENSE OF Mrl,TANcy,

When asked how she would Justify
militancy, Mrs. Pankhurst said. Mil
itancy has brought woman suffrage
where we want it-that is to the fore
front of practical politics. That's the
Justification for 1t. So far as England
is concerned, militancy was the only
way. In the United States the situa-
uon is different, and it is net needed
as in England. Votes for women is In
the air in America" Replying to
the statement of Lord Northcliffe
that the objection to suffrage In Eng
land was that the women outnumber-
ed the men and no man would ever
submit to feminine dominion, she ask.
ed If that was not rather an open way
of saying you don't believe In the rule
Of the majority. Then in conclusion
she said, with great seriousness:
Il hope can help to make the PEG
pie OF this great country unde stand
that we Englishwoms are making ey-
actly the same fight that your Al eri-
can forefathers mad'a in l776"

against the trusts has never yet been

present administration. He charges
that the socialist does not properly
compare present conditions with preYi-
GUS stages. He concludes from the
many reforms of the past twenty
years that society is neither retrogres-
sive nor stagnant. He argues that the

Braids.

Chicago Tribune: There are no
young girls in America, asserts a
French observer. Our girls, he says,
become young ladies too soon. They
become sophisticated too early. They
are trying to charm and to attract at
an age when they should properly
take orders from mother.
The Frenchman bases his conclus-
ions on his observations in our large
cities. No doubt If he had gone into
the smaller towns he would have
found less sophistication and more
braids. Nevertheless his criticism Is
not amiss. 1t is the big cities that
are the standard for the rest Of the
country They set the pace. And the
braided type, with naive, innocent
eyes, is indeed, becoming rare in our
cities.
In the poorer shifts of society the
shop and the factory are responsible
for the disappearance of the youns
girl type. girl of IA, WHEN thrown
in the company of older girls day at
ter day is quickly dragged into tbs
whirlpool Of life. With the well tc
do classes the girl is willfully sp 7ilei
by the overindulgent parents. Tee
little discipline is as bad as too much
The early disappearance of the braid
and the requirement instead of world
lily wise ways and manners by oul
young girls lend GOODNESS to oul
civilization which it could probably
I lose.

The long. long day through winters
cold,
Demurely he sits in his low seat,
With steady hanGaud spirit bold.
And he fills his galley with lines oil
type,
And slowly rises and fills his pipe.
He touches the keys with his finger
tips,
And down the matrices swiftly glide,
And in the corners of his pale lips
A smile Of comfort essays to hide.
Because his galley is filled with type,
And he has chance to fill his pipe.
The wheels 60 round with jolt and
jerk,
And the pot of metal sends out It's
heat,
But the Linotypist bends to his work,
And this is the thing that keeps him
sweet
He knows when his galley is filed with
type
He then can rise and fill his pipe.
Explain, pipe dreamers, some pleasant
day,
So poor old fogy can comprehend,
What is the charm of the cob or clay,
Though redolent with nicotine blend,
That makes typo fill his pipe,
Each time he fills his galley with type.
