PERSONAL TOUCHES IN SPORT

That famous Cub machine is dead. Its
pieces an its parts are spread an scat
tered everywhere. Some parts, though
gone, arc runnin yet. Some old stars
simply will not set though time has
dimmed their glare. Old Jimmy sheck-
ards one o. these. You've seen him often
on his knees or fat out on his chest
his famous divin' catch, you know. He
had lot of tricks to show, but that dive
was his best.
He's in the bushes now. a boss He's
tryin' hard to put across the Cleveland
A. A. team The pennant hunch is in
his bone. He wants to win one all his
own an that's his prayer an dream.
Jim plays or pinch hits now an then,
but gives way to the younger men who've
passed his slowin' gait His brain still
has its oldtime vim, but It's long. long
time since Jim broke in in 49,
Jim starred for more'n a dozen years.
At heldin' he had darn few peers an he
could swat some, too. An bunt? Jim
had that stunt down pat. He had a
sacrihcin' bat that never proved untrue.
1t isn't goin' to make much diff If Sheck
wins bush league flags or If he quits the
great OIL game. The fans'll love him still
because they can't forget the star he
was His Cub days cinched his fame

NOTES OF THE RAIL

The Massachusetts, Public Service Conn
mission has been asked by four rail-
roads to approve an Increase in mileage
rates from 2 to 2A cents. The petition
ers are the Boston and Maine, Boston
and Albany, New York, New Haven and
ability to meet expenses was given as
the reason for the higher rates.
Complaints about the rates charged in
Lehigh and Northampton Counties to the
Dexter Portland Cement Company by the
Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central and Lacka-
wanna Railroads were heard by the Penn
sylvanla Public Service Commission yes
terday. The company claimed disad-
vantage of 10 cents a ton. It was con-
tended in answer that the shipments were
made over more than one road.
According to estimates, railroads dur
ing the quarter beginning July bought
100000 tons of rails, 1880 cars and 23I
locomotives. The figures compare with
those Of the second quarter of this year
as follows: Three hundred and forty
thousand tons of rails, 10000 cars and
4l0 locomotives.
q. A. Buder, of st. Louis, stock
holder of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
at the annual meeting in New York yes
terday advocated that the matter Of
higher freight and passenger rates be
taken up by the railroad with State COM
missions instead Of with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, as the action, he
thought would be more speedy. These
State commissions would be asked to
restore the cent a mile passenger rate
and Increase freight rates 10 per cent
Resolutions empowering the directors to
take such action were unanimously
adopted.

the recent tour Of the Merton Cricket
Clu bin England. The team arrived in

almost an entirely new schedule had to

which they had no control, the eleven
played exceptionally good cricket, and
some of the scoring was phenomenal.
out of the nine matches played, four
were won and two lost and three drawn.
At Mitcham a surprise was created by
defeating the home club after they had
declared their innings, and at Tonbridge
they only wanted two runs to win with
eight wickets In hand. There we're some
exceptionally good individual perform
ances, as will be seen from a perusal
Of the results and averages. Merton
scored 2721 runs for SO wickets, average
per wicket s0-5s, while their opponents
obtained 2196 for Ill wickets, average
