COMMISSIONER sHPMAN's REPORT.

The annual report of Commissioner Of Labor
and Printing n l.. Shipman has been widely com
mented on and has served to attract attention To
the splendid resources of the State.
Among the influential and widely read publ
cations that it has impressed is the Manufacture
ers' Record, which devotes a lengthy editorial 10
it, declaring that the report cannot fail to I'M
press one with the wonderful opportunities In
that State for industrial development. not that
great advance has not already been made, hut
because that very advance has demonstrated
clearly the possibilities"
Then the Baltimore publication goes on to
enumerate some Of the essential facts set forth IN
the report, finding as the most important of these
that the miscellaneous factories have grown IN
output from $500, 600 in 1900 10 So, GOO 600 m
1913. This is indeed a gratifying showing. for d.
versltlcatlon In manufacturing is Just as wise a
policy as diversni ton in farming, a State With
all sorts of manufacturing being In a much safer
position than with only a few lines.
Commissioner Shiprnan's report makes a good
showing tor the State and it is gratifying 70 see
that 1t is being taken notice Of to the good Of
the State.

Ben Davis trees are standing dead throughout

lett than the Cub candidates.
At the third corner the Cubs have
their first big advantage. thinner
man is a slugger, a great natural hit
ter and should outbat Breton fifty or
seventy-five points. And he will also
excel in the field. Jeered at as a
bonehead, Zim is nevertheless a fine
baIplayer and is a much better de-
fensive man than he is given credit
for being.
Of the oUtfieIders, Collins is prefer
able to Good in right. Long John is
the best fielder of the Sox trio. In
that respect, however, he is matched
by Good, who has a capable whip.
Collins is the better batter of the two,
but Good has the edge on the bases.
In center Roth is pitted against
Leach. The Cub captain is a wonder
full judge of fly balls and can gauge
hits as well as any man in the bust
ness. He is far superior to Roth in
the field. On hitting the SoX recruit
shows to better advantage. He has
been batting strongly since coming
to the South Side and is polling many
bingles for extra bases.
Schultz and Demmitt are about on
par as left fielders, though the
greater experience of the Cub may
be an advantage before a partisan
crowd. Bud is a fine fielder. His APP
parent laziness is merely his way of
playing, and he has his heart in the
game at all times. Neither man has
been doing anything startling with
the bat, but Schultz is more liable
to colnect for a long waIlop. And
the Cub is also slightly superior in
the field.
Berger is the Sox utility fielder and
better than Heating or Corriden.
Chappen and Bodie, the Sox garden
second line of defense, shape up bet
ter than Kniseley and Johnston, the
Cub reserves.

games. He is more valuable than
Archer.
In the box it is simply a question
of how near the pitchers will be to
their natural form. Vaughn is the
most dependable of O'Day's pitchers.
Cheney may pitch a~,three-hit game
and he is just as liable to get knocked
out of the box in three innings. Law
ender has been spOtty all season and
HUMPHREYS and Pierce should not
give the Hose a great deal of trouble.
At the start of the season Callahan
was supposed to have the best pitch
ing staff ever gathered. And it per-
formed up to that classification for
several weeks. But recently Scott
has been getting his bumps and Fab
er and Cicotte have not been any too
effective. Benz and Wolfgang look
like the best pair at present.
All of Gals beavers have ability,
however. Various circumstances, ov-
er which the pitchers themselves had
no control, have been advanced for
their loss Of effectiveness. Any of
them may come through with a ster-
ling performance. They are more IL
able to do so than the Cub fellows.
At first base Fournier is over so
points better in batting than Safer
on the season. Vic is a slashing bat
ter and may wake up for the short
series. Fourier should be a whale
against the West Sides array of
heaving talent. Safer has all the best
of it in the field, both from a me-
chanical and thinking standpoint.
At second .BIackburne will cover
more ground than Sweeney, will run
faster once he gets on base and
should reach first oftener than
Sweeney. Both are bright ballplay-
ers, capable of thinking on every
play. Don't be surprised if Black
buTne is the star of the series.
Weaver has a wide margin over
