law passed on the subject in this

I am heartily in favor of the plan"
said Commissioner Ferguson. "I be-
lieve we should have state life insur-

"The purpose of state life insurance
is to give to the people of the state
the benefit of the best old-line insur-

possible cost. To benefit the policy
holders is the sole consideration. OF
the total expense OF old line compan-

General Huerta has disregarded all

attempt no action beyond declaring
neither the president nor vice presi-

relieved FaIkenberg Saturday with
the Sox ahead, and stuck until his
mates regained the lead.
Buck Weaver was sick again yes
terday, so Rath played second and
Berger short. incidentally Rath turn
ed a swell piece of thinking in the
fifth inning. On his single to right
Morris oVerran first, and Joe Jackson
heaved to Johnston to catch him. In
stead of returning to the bag, Rath
kept on to second and easily beat
Johnston's relay. This kind of brain
work has not been prominent ia the
Sox' play lately.
Being played at second base is
having a bad effect on the work of
Joe Berger, a natural shortstop, when
he is played at his regular position.
Berger made a weird chuck Saturday
that cost two runs, and yesterday the
coast lad acted as though he were
getting acquainted with his old stand
over again. His batting is improving,
as he has soaked three hits in the
last two games.
Callahan could proftably give his
charges some instruction In the art
of bunting. They need 1t, and the
lack of such knowledge is proving
costly. Berger is fairly reliable at
advancing a runner on suicide, but
he is the only man playing regularly
who is. FouEnier and Mattick tried
it yesterday, Jack tanning and Chick
popping out. Collins is another man
who can't bunt. The best sacrifice
man on the squad is RoIIie Zeider,
but there is no hole for RoIIie to
break into the lineup.
Johnston, jackson and Ryan of the
Maps each poled three hits.
George StoValI played in one game
yesterday and got two hits, but his
Browns lost a double bill to Detroit.

Tinker was out of the game because

Philadelphia may be as slow as

in arriving in Chicago, but this slow

Dooin's Daisies in the National
have a four-game lead over their
nearest rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers,
and the team does not seem to be
slipping. For the first time in several
years injuries have not upset the dope
on the team and it does not seem to
be playing above its real form.
The pitchers are given credit for
lot of this success, but in handing
out praise, don't overlook the home
run twins" Sherwood Magee and
Gayvy CraVath, the smuggling out
feeders.
Time and again this spring Magee
or CraVath have broken up games
with home runs, their favorite spot
being the left field bleachers in the
Philly park. In one game Magee lam
med two fOur-basers into the stand
and Cravath poled one, scoring all
the Philips runs, and winning the
game.
Magee has been a great major
Lacquer batsman for years. Cravath
has been a minor star, but he didn't
suit the big league managers when
he was with Washington and the
White Sox in the American League.
He led the American Association
while he was with Minneapolis, and
as soon as Doom saw him he liked
