imposition upon the baseball reading
public.
The Baseball Writer'S association of
America, which includes in it's mem
bership the leading specialists on the
game in each major1eague city. has
recently solicited the cooperation of
the commission in preventing ball
players from invading their field. In
the communication referred to Presi-
dent Jackson states:
The press box, by courtesy of the
commission, is our province. The
abuse of it we wish to check. , 1t is
humiliating to calling that includes
some of the brightest minds in news
paper work to have our members as
sigGcd to act as amanuenses or as
D. oxies of playeis TO whom the game
itself is making ample return
In conclusion President Jackson de-
clares:.
in the end, lit sums itself up in the
statement that we are forced to do
something to protect ourselves against
growing evil that threetens baseball
reporters in the pecuniary way. 1t
also. to many sensible newspaper
readers, is making the reports of world
! series ridiculous, and must, in a way.
hurt the series itself eventually. And
| it further belittles in the minds of
The public the trained baseball writer
who labors all the year around as a
/ competent critic, to be subordinated
TO a novice in the one biggest week
of the baseball year The commits
sion will have the support and Co
: operation of this association in any
move it may make to eradicate the
evil that has been discussed"
STAND II ENDORSED.
Heartily indorsing the attitude OF
the Baseball Writers association, and
believing that irresponsible state
ments, which are given added weight
by the names attached thereto, should
be cUrbed and that the public should
be protected from this imposition, the
national commission orders that nc
player eligible to compete in the
worlds series or in any city series
shall write or pretend to write an &C
count of such series for any news
paper, nor snail any payer allow the
use of his name over an article pur
porting to be written by him.
Violation of this order will result
in the infliction of such penalty as thc
commission may determine.
in complying with the wishes of the
. Baseball Writers association. which
we deem just, fair and equitable, thu
commission is confident that ball play
ers on reflection win realize that i
is an injustice to baseball writer's ant
an imposition on patrons for then
without proper qualifications, to writ
or pretend to write articles for publ
cation. If the newspaper men shoulC
invade the ball players field the lat
tier would justly protest.

election-O'Hern Favored
by Many.

Bloomington, Sept. 25.-Last year
there were rumors of turning Tearney
loose, but when the time for the an
nual directors meeting came some
body lost their nerve and the pres.
ent president of the Tri-Optic was not
disturbed. Owing to the present I'M
settled state of affairs it is hard to
predict who the next president of the
league will be, but one thing does
seem almost certain and that is that
the majority CT the club owners do
favor a new man for the job. Not
that Tearney isn't fine fellow and a
capable man, but simply because a
man in his position cannot attend to
the many duties of a position of this
kind.
A dark horse may be the next presi
dent of the Three-Lamp. So far only
James Boyle of Danville and Al
O'Hearn and James Hayes of Daven
port have been mentioned for the Job
Any of these men would make a good
leader and any CT the three are quail
fed to fill the job. If the job is to be
given to young fellow, surely no bet
ter choice than O'Hcrn could be made
and the Bloomington association viii
be certain to vote for any man who
has the ability, regardless of whether
he halls from the north or south enc
of the circuit To all appearances the
famous old battle of the south anC
north ends is over.
A meeting which may mean consid
cradle to the magnates in this League
will be held Thursday evening in Pc
oria, at which time the proposition o
Joining the~Federal le3gue is to com,
up for consideration. If the Distille
management should take such foolisl
step as this, it would be almost certain
to mean that Rock Island would b.
admitted to the league this fall, other
| wise it would not surprise the write
to see the league reErain intact.

Our whole tariff history since the
Civil War is one OF legislative treaCh-

of a few. The tariff question as we

rates, regarded then as high but
much lower than Il rates we have
since known, were conceded to he

both political parties, but by the
very benehciaries of the tariff, the
manufacturers. But the influence f

Some Profits

THE action OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission in reducing the
express rates sixteen per cent. almost
takes the breath out OF the consunl-
ers, while the companies are wearing
a peculiar smile. They state that
they will lose some twenty-siN mill
ion dollars per annum by the reduc-
ton, yet they will comply with the
order.
The magnitude OF the graft by the
express companies is just being un-
derstood by the American people.
The companies have been earning
over 400 per cent per annum on he
investment. and have managed to
tight off the reduction until the past
year. The parcel post was the first
wedge introduced. now more latitude
is to be given the government in this
particular, and or top OF this there
m another reduction of rates.
By the time the concerns are trim
med down to where they can earn 10
per cent on their investment the peo-
pie will begin to realize just how
they have been held up. 1t almost
makes the layman and the payn1an
leel that Black Bart, and a few 9TH
ers. who held up the express COM
panles, should be set up in bronze
and receive a pension. They are the
only one of record who ever scored
against this set OF people who ex-
ceeded Capt. Kidd. or any other
buCCancer, in their demands.
1t was stated a Jew days ago that
when the parcel post increased the
weight allowance that the railroads
I would lose some twenty-five millions
per annum By adding that to the
, other admitted losses it seems that
the people are to be saved some non
ey by the new administration and
the work OF the Interstate Commerce
Commissions May the good work
go to the limit.
