naturally made them favorites IN their
home town
: The conditions that existed two
years ago are different from those
of today, when the merits OF the two
clubs are considered. Both of them
are still champions, but the question
is this: Are the Athletics as strong
as they were two years ago2 The
same question naturally applies to the
Giants
Fans. critics. experts and others
who are supposed TO know seem to
believe that the Giants are better now
than ever On the other hand the
prevailing opinions, as expressed in
the leading sporting pages of the
country have It that the Athletics
are not as formidable as they were
two years ago when they defeated
the Giants.
The principal fault of the makeup
of the Athletics is the weak pitching
stan of the American league club.
To win the championship, the fans
contend that Mack viii have to de-
pend entirely upon the veterans, Chief
Bender and Eddie Plank. The task
that confronts these slabmen looks
does not think they are equal to it.
n
On the other hand McGraw has a
surplus OF pitching material. the best
in the baseball world. He has the
reliable Mathewson. Marquard. Tese-
reau, Demaree. along with couple of
good second string men, though they
are not likely to be called on They
are four aces that McGraw holds be-
fore the draw, while Mack has but a
pair going. On form McGraw looks
TO have the edge.

laughing stock OF the Pacific Coast
league.

Conner, Foe Of Railroad, Likely to
Win in Alabama if His
Charges Are Sustained.

MONTGOMERY, Nov. I'm the
passage of the resolution of Senator
Luke Lea, at Washington, calling for
a Congressional investigation of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
with reference to alleged violations
of the antitrust laws, the Alabama
gubernatorial contest is affected. B.
B. Conner, former Governor, who
started his campaign with a bitter
attack on the Louisville and Nash
vile and has been insistent in his re-
quest for probe of the so-called "ln-
sidious lobby" Of Alabama, is elated.
The former Executive has stated
that the Louisville and Nashville put
up $4,000 in an unsuccessful at
tempt to defeat him for the presi-
dency of the State Railroad Commits
sion several years ago.
Whatever be the result at WASH
tngton in the general investigation it
is conceded by many officials that the
findings of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will either elect or defeat
a Governor of Alabama. 1t is expect
ed that former Governor Conner will
now give the commission all of the
information that he has at his dis
posal.
One charge Of Mr.. Conner is that the
railroad has maintained for years i
lobby at the State Capital for the
purpose of having laws enacted ia
vorable to the system.

Probers Go Into
Steamship Line Deal.

MOBILE, ALA, Nov. Among the
charges against the L. and N Rail-
road Company to be investigated is
their political activity.
Investigators of committee of the
Senate and of the Interstate Com
merce Commission have recently been
in Alabama and spent some time in
Mobile investigating certain transac-
tions brought TO their attention
Among them We're the alleged financ-
ing of the Staples line of steamboats,
the killing of the Birmingham and
Gulf transportation line of steamers
and the failure Of the Staples line
followed by the tragic death of Cap
tain N. A. Staples. A large number of
letters said to have passed between Nj
II. Smith, president of the l.. and n.
and Captain Staples were secured by
these investigators. These letters are
said to throw much light on the fierce
fight between the Staples boats and
the Birmingham and Gulf boats and
on the financial deal made by Cap
tain Staples with Mr.. Smith for con-
Quoting mis- fight.
