Bankers VS.. Railroads

bankers VS.. ~ha1lTOaQS
Al Kaiser, banker Of Bagley, struck
a key note at the meeting yesterday
when he showed that the banks were
willing to lend money at cost to
creameries and other development
aids and suggested that the railroads
could help development materially by
hauling freight into a new country at
cost. The experience of all in this
country has been to the effect that
the newer the country, the higher and
more profitable the railroad rates. It
Is the older cities and long establish
ed terminals which get the low and
advantageous rates. But it is the
new country which needs them the
most.

SOCCER GAME IS
HALTED On 4
We I FIELD

The Thistle and Pastime soccer
cluDs made an attempt to play their
league game at Freeman's park, Oak
land yesterday, but after afew min
utes action Referee Wallace decided
that the ground was not in Fit con-
dltion TO continue the game. The
game will have to be played at some
later date to be set by the league.
In the few minutes of play that
was pulled off the Thistles adopted
the right kind of tactics for a sloppy
ground and managed to score one goal
against the Pastime men, The lone
point was made by Towns, who took a
pass from Kempton and Tailed.
AT CrolPs grounds. Alameda, the
Burns team put 5 to defeat over
on the Vampires. The Vampires were
first to score with a shot by Davidson.
At half time the score was to l in
favor of the Burns through shots by
Connors and Mclaughlin.
The latter player tailed his second
goal late in the second half after a
pretty run which fooled the entire
Vampire defense. Rowe scored the
other goal for the winners.
The San Francisco team won out
from the Argonauts easily on the
Ocean Shore grounds by a score of 5
to 8. Perkins and Fallow scored for
the winners while King and Sims were
in the limelight for the three goals
registered by the losers.

OVERALL Is
STILL On
SHELF
Big Pitcher Probably viii
Hold AIoof Until Training
Time Rolls Around
By JOE MURPHY

The fact that no public announce
ment. has been made by Manager Del
Howard of the Seals in regard to the
status of the Overall case since he
arrived in Los Angeles would indicate
that the big fellow is still balky.
Howard has been around Los Angeles
for several days, but he has not been
able to whip the giant pitcher into
line up to date.
Overall is telling his friends in the
south that he will make no promises
TO any one. He will not decide on re-
turning to the game until next March.
His future will depend entirely on
what is offered him at that time.
He is quoted as saying that there is
no use OF the San Francisco club en-
deavoring to tie him up at this time.
as he viii not listen to such a propo-
sition. The big fellow declares that
"a he wants TO be a free agent until next
March. If. in the meantime, he is Of
fered position that is more lucrative
than baseball. 1t will be good night"
10 the national pastime as a means of
securing a livelihood, so far as Overall
is concerned
Overall is telling his friends that he
IS exceedingly anxious to enter the
business field and get into game
that is more substantial than base
ball. He declares that he realizes he
is slipping and that 1t will be but a
matter Of a few years that the club
managers viii be putting the skids
under him. He says that he wants to
beat them to it..
OWE declares that he will not con-
slider playing ball until next March.
If, al that time. which is the season
for spring practice, he has nothing In
view, he might decide to get into the
game again.
Bill Kenworthy is down around Los
Angeles boosting the chances of the
Sacramento club for the season of
1914 He declares that Wolverton's
team viii not be weakened TO any
great extent by the loss of Pitcher
Jack Williams, who was secured
through the drafting process by the
Detroit Tigers.
Kenworthy is sure that Outfelder
Roy Moran will be back with the
Wolves, but he Is doubtful about
Shortstop Young. He predicts a good
year for Pitcher Munsell and declares
that Wolverton has two pitchers COM
ing who figure. TO be winners with
the Wolves next season.
Happy Hogan Of the Tigers is plan
ming to give Coach Kingman of the
Pomona college a chance next sea-
son. Kingnan is a shortstop and is
said to be an unusually promising
man by the critics of the south. He
is reputed to be fast and a good
hitter.
Manager Del Howard is not strong
for exchanging players with other
managers of the league, so there is
little likelihood of Roy McArdle and
Pitcher Cack Henley being shifted to
the Los Angeles club. Howard would
undoubtedly be ready to trade these
players to Dillon il he figured that
he was getting much the best of it.
Del realizes that a manager is
open to criticism, when he exchanges
players Frequently when men are
traded from one club to the other in
the same league the players try to
show UP their old teams and usually
play their best on these occasions
The club mana ger IS put IN a bad
light II he allows players to get away
from him If they make good on an
other club.

Tariff Law Causes
Tennis Balls to Be
Reduced in Price

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Tennis play

United States Tennis association, that
the price of tennis balls is to be ma
terially reduced next season. Golfers
are beginning to ask why SIMILAR re-

According to the statement made by
