Slightly in the Dark.

Whether the president agreed to free
listing of the raw materials or urged
that the agricultural products be made
dutiable in conformity to the Under
wood rates on raw materials was not
disclosed after today's conference, but
Democratic senators were resigned to
the generally accepted report that all
these articles would be placed on the
free list. They were also generally in
accord with the definite announc ement
by Senator Simmons after his confer
ence with the president that the ) per
cent tariff discount on imports in
American ships would be stricken from
the bill
Representative Underwood and other
public leaders, however, are not salts
fred that the discount conflicts with
treaty provisions, and they are expect
reiuserted when the bill reaches CON
ference.
Free wool and free sugar, as pro-
yided for in the Underwood bill, are
regarded tonight to be in a stronger
position than ever. and the tightening
Of the strings on these administration
measures is reported to be due largely
to President Wilson s recent attack on
the efforts of lobbyists to influence
change in these schedules.
No Protection, Cry.
The Democratic senator who has
previously been of the mind that
small duty should be placed on wool
and that free sugar in three years
should not have been imposed, changed
his mind today. He says now he is
convinced that both industries can get
along without any protection,
The cotton schedule is reported now
to be very unsatisfactory in MANY in
stances TO the finance subcommittee,
and it is to be generally rearranged,
the duties in most cases to be in.
creased from the Underwood rates.
Again today the Williams subcom
mittee was at work on the income tax
section of the bill. and comprehensive
brief, supplementing his oral testimo-
ny, was filed by Darwin P. Kingsley,
president of the New York Life Insur.
ance company, opposing the taxing of
mutual life insurance companies.
Kingsley pointed out that "the bill
entirely ignores the fundamental pro-
vision which says that incomes under
$1,000 shall not be taxed''
'Not 10 per cent Of the policy
holders in cooperative or mutual com
panies have incomes over $4,000 Mr.
Kingsley asserted. fYet this bill pro-
ceeds to tax man, however small his
income, merely because he insures his
life'
No Profits, He Says,

at ALL are three good rules of
baseball-even if they aren't in the
guide.
over in Memphis they are brag-
ging about the sort of team they
could turn out with the players
that wintered in the city. In the
list were Ed Hurlburt, Bill Par
rott, Sam Jolly Bill Chappelle, Doc
Newton, George Merritt, Bill Bern
hard, Charley Shields, Guy Saint,
Eugene DeMontreville, Charley
Babb, Moulton, Dolly Stark, Frank
Manush, Jack Law, Charley Miller
and Hub Benham. Numerically,
they have it on the baseball resi-
dents of the Gate City:
But then consider the brains and
ability of the local talent. A par
tial list includes Bill Smith, Otto
Jordan, Lou Castro, Lee Garvin,
Roy Moran, Ed and Jim Lafitte
Tommy Mcmillan, Red Smith, Har-
ry Matthew'S Brown Keene, Milton
Reed and a mess Of Glass c and d
performers. With Garvin and Mat
thews catching, Keene on first. Jor-
dan on second, Mcmillan at short,
Red Smith at third, Moran, Castro
and Reed in the outfield, Ed La
fitte on the slab, and Bill Smith on
the bench. they could put up
pretty stiff fight.
If the players who wintered in
Georgia could be gathered for
game, the club would be a big
Lacquer. and a good one. for it
would include Ty Cobb and Frank
Schultz in the outfeld. Charley
Bender. Nap Rucker and Jimmy
Lavender for slab duty, l. Ningo
behind the bat. and Claude Der
rick in the infield.
Mighty few states in the Union
could turn out a team that could
successfully compete with that one.
THEY tell a good one on the cru
dite Red" Owens. He was
talking with Dave Altizer.
1--WE played baseball all over the
map-from Dan to Beersheba,' said
Dave.
1--WE been around some myself"
said Red. but you have something

Diamond Managers Are Grabbing Gridiron Tactics
Nap Players Now Go Through Charging Practice
CHARLEY MURPHY has unin-

CHARLEY MURPHY has, unin-
tentionally, no doubt, adopted
another football fad with his anti
booze clause" Football players in
training do not drink, do not smoke
and they are allowed to eat only
certain simple foods, carefully pre-
pared.
OF course, baseball players. who
play so much more frequently and
for a much longer season, could not
afford to train so vigorously. But
they could grab a lot of hints from
their football brethren.
Many a promising big league
player has eaten his way into the
minor leagues.
Take your raw farmer boy. who
is graduated from the plow to a
tiny minor league and from there
to the big leagues, He is fairly
overcome by the hotel bills of fare.
and as for having a whole dollar
to spend on one meal in the dining
cars!-well. he never before heard
of anybody's eating a dollars worth
of food at one time.
Why should he eat oatmeal eggs
and cup of coffee for breakfast
when he can have fruit, a cereal.
chicken ltvers, fish, beefsteak.
fancy omelette, and a stack of
greasy griddlecakes? So he has
EN-. For dinner 1t is worse and
more of it. By game time he is as
full of pep as a alternating CHINA
mon bear.
The Southern league has had
many near-athletes who ruined
their chances with too much prov
ender. That big Glenn, Of the
Nashville team last year, was a.
victim of too much to eat and too
much sleep. "Buttermilk" Meek. a
former star, became famous for his
habit Of filing himself so full of the
usually harmless beverage that he
could barely navigate. And he
drank himself out of Glass A ball
on buttermilk. He must have
weighed 275 when he retired.
The time may come when ball
players will eat at a modified
training table. If they do, they
will be faster and they will always
feel better.
Eat moderately, drink beer mod
erately if at all, drink whisky not

ganizations, and how one certain team
has been favored in the National
league. Look here;
AT the trial in which FogePs
charges were investigated by the Ma
| tional league last fall such testimony
as this was obtained from Fogel when
it came to the show down
"'Q-0o you know anything about
Thomas Lynch?
"'A-No,
"'Q-Do you know anything against
the National league?
"A-No.
"'0--oo you think any games were
framed during the season, or do you
think any games could be framed?
"'A-No.'
| That's Enough From Him."
That seems to dispose of Mr.. Fogel
If he really knew anything tending to
/ discredit baseball, don't you think he
would have carried his case to the
courts and obtained redress when he
was kicked out of the game? His tes-
timony was either false or true Which
are you going to believe, and would
S'H pSlISFe WHAT he says now!
Il have had communication with Mr..
Hermann concerning this matter. 1t
seems to be up to the National league.
The national commission will have no
occasion to act unless FogeI attacks
both leagues
AS ! understand now the National
league officials propose to send out to
all members of the Baseball Writers
association copies of Fogers testimony,
which, in itself, should be sufficient an
swer to anything he might say.
National League Should Act
Il am not worrying about Fogel. and,
have written Mr.. Hermann telling him
that, in my opinion, there is no occa-
sion for uneasiness. The National
league ought to be able to handle the
matter"
At the time of the New York hear
ing, when Fogel and Murphy backed
down completely in their fight on Tom
Lynch, it was declared by Fogel that
he had a "trunkful of documents that
would hang it on somebody" and said
ne would carry the case to the courts
He never went to court.

nounced that he IS going to
y train his men like football
players this season. Joe was
star Of the pigskin pastime him
self in his good day, and he be-
lieyes he picked up some ideas
there that might be useful.
One thing Joe will require dur
ing the training season is a daily
jump on the scales, under the eye
Of the trainer. There's nothing
quite like the old Fairbanks to wise
the physical director up to an ath-
lete's condition.
Tn getting right down to
weight" the old timers are always
saying. And it's hard to tell, just
by looking, whether they are or not.
But if a player performed at 1872
pounds In mid season last year and
shows 179 now he hasn't got an
albi in the world, and when the
order comes for him to take cou-
pie Of extra laps around the park
he can't even growl.
If man begins to lose weight
and gets below normal, that tells
lot to a wise trainer. too.
There can be no question but that
accurate daily weighing Of ball
players under the eye of a wise
trainer, would enable him to dag
nose their troubles much more
wisely
A MOTHER OF Joe Birminghams
ideas is to teach his athletes
the tlme-honored charging prac-
uee' of the football field. In this
work the men are lined up and at
the word start on the dead gallop,
go few PAGES, stop and start
again. This is great exercise and
