account of lack of brilliant coaching
material "Pudge" Heffelfinger, a

The Times suggests to the people
along the Tacoma Seattle fnterur-

other rise in transportation that a
municipal line might settle the diff
ficulty. The Times should not
spring a proposition of that kind
too suddenly. upon the people of
this progressive country.
