The Muckalees have man that is
playing the utility roles on the Glib
that is an ideal man for the position
in that he can and has played every
nosition on a ball team. Dick Utter is
the man. AS he squats behind thu
bat and talks to his pitcher or as nc
cavorts around in the outfieid no one
would suspicion that he is a first rate
slabman himself or that he could play
any position in the infeld.
But that is the truth. Richard Or
Vile Utter has had professional ex-
perience extending over six years and
in that time he has played all over the
lot. He first broke into professional
baseball after a career as semi-pro
near his home in Chicago, with the
Parsons Kansas State league team a.
pitcher. The boy worked in a bunch
of games and managed to cop most o.
them. Because of his ability to
sting the ball he was shifted to the
outfield on days when he was not II
the box. He hit for an average of 314
that season according to the sporting
guide.
Dick next saw service in Deadwood,
S. D., in the Dakota league. He still
continued to pitch but was worked
during the season on first base. He
clouted the pill for Alt that season. He
remained with the Dakota team two
years as manager and during his
last season there he played every po-
sition in the infield as we'll as taking
/ his turn in the box at regular inter
walls.
In the spring of 1911 he joined the
Marnste, Michigan team. He started
out as a pitcher and made good one.
But one day when a fellow catcher OF
the team was hurt during the game
and the manager did not have anyone
to put in in his palce Utter did the
Red Dacey stunt and came to his res
cue. He went behind the bat and
Richard was the receiving end of the
battery again, and the next dey, AMI
the next and so on infinitum. That year
Dick was On pennant winning team.
The Michigan bunch won out in the
pennant race by half game after a
spectacular Garrison finish of % wins
out of % games the last of the season.
Dick Played in every game of the %
behind the bat and hit for 275.
Then he migrated into the Kitty
league and played with Maduka. He
corraled a batting average of 270 and
attracted the attention of the Colum-
bus Cotton States League moguls and
be was signed up as manager.

RIGHTS OF STATES
RY. RATES ARGUED

Washington. Oct 22.-A states
rights decision. AZ relating to the
powers of Individual states to regu-
late railroad rates. was precipitated
today ut the convention
of the National Association of Rail
way commissioners.
Commissioners l.. u. Finn of Ken
tucky, after reading paper on the
subject, should congress extend tho
power of the federal government to
the regulation OF intra-state rates.
in which he opposed such extension
of power, offered a resolution in ac-
cordance with his views.
The resolution was about to be
adopted when Commissioner Barrow
objected He was strongly seconded
by Commissioner Barrow OF the Loui-
siana commission. who declared that,
on account OF the action of the Tex
as railroad commission, which ,devel-
oped the Shreveport case now being
heard by the supreme court. ruin is
staring the people of Louisiana in tho
face and the transportation situation
in our state has become intolerable.
Mr.. Barrow insisted that If the
power Of the interstate commerce
commission to remove discrimination
OF this kind were not sustained, the
Texas state commission soon will
be making rates for the whole south
western territory.
After some lusty debate the resolu-
tiop was laid on the cable by vote
of 20 to 10.
