INGENIOUS DEVICES USED
TO CHEAT THE PUBLIC
Delegates Received at White House
by President Wilson-Ban-
quet Tonight.

Control and supervision by the ma
tional government of weighing and
measuring devices for the purpose of
stopping widespread frauds and mis-
takes which they agreed exist, Were
advocated today by speakers before
the eighth annual conference on
weights and measures. in session at the
bureau of standards. The bureau was
pointed to as the proper clearing house
for weights and measures
Weights and measures men from
many cities, counties and states agreed
that under the present systems the
consuming public is only partially pro-
tected from frauds and mistakes, and
that uniform systems and standards
for weighing and measuring are need
ed throughout the country.
In connection with the conference many
strange and ingenious methods used to
cheat the public were laid bare. One
man told how poultry dealers in his city
had been caught buying chickens, starv-
ing them for two days. then feeding
them salt to make them thirsty. and then
allowing them to drink large quantity
of water. with the result that at the end
Of five days they Increased one and one

7 UNOFFICIAL batting records say
that Joe Jackson has headed off
Ty Cobb as the leading bats
man Of the American League. But
still the Tiger cyclone has batting
average Of slightly over 400, so there
seems little need for him to worry.
Now, the question naturally arises
as the result of Jackson's jump over
Cobb's head into first place as bat
ter is Cobb going back?
Cobb has not had as long a baseball
career as Lajoie by many years; but
it must be taken into consideration
that the nimble, ambitious and as
piring Southerner, in his efforts to re-
tain his prestige as the greatest play
er the game has ever produced and
to secure contracts that call for the
largest salary paid to any plain ball
player has been very strenuous in
his playing He has stolen more bases
than any other player, made more
runs hammered out more safe hits
and played an altogether more vigor-
Gus game than any of his fellow
players who have been coordinate
with him Consequently the physical
and mental strain he has been under

possibly may have sapped his ener-
giles to a dangerous degree.
During the Yankee Detroit series,
while Cobb did some good work he
did not impress me as being quite
up to his old dynamite self that once
carried everything before him. He
surely picked out some very poor
pitched balls TO hit at, and instead
Of getting the pitcher in the hole, as
was his great forte, he allowed him
self frequently to be put at a disad
vantage by the boxman.
II may be that l am too exacting
where Cobb is concerned, for / have
long been one of his greatest admir-
ers and have always upheld him as
the best player the game ever de-
veloped-a player without a weak
ness-and / hate to see him show
any evidence of waning powers or
prowess, but still there seems to me
TO be that something lacking in his
work here that has taken a certain
quantity Of the old kick" from his
past grand performances.
! understood that during the pres
ent trip of the Tigers Cobb has been
troubled by slight attacks Of dys-
pepsia, owing to change of food, etc,
and If that is so there is good rea-
son for his little falling off and pos
sibly means that It is only temporary.
