EVERs STUDIES DOPE ON EVERY
BIG LEAGUE BATTER
BY Fullerton.


Johnny Evers has revealed the
secret, or part of it, of his wonder,
full success in playing for batters.
Evers reads with utmost care the de-
tailed accounts of games to see where
every batman's hits are directed.
'The worst mistake l ever made"
said the little Trojan, was due to
this habit. Philadelphia had picked
up a young player. He was in one
game and hit three balls toward
shortstop, according to the paper.
Late in one game he was thrown in to
hit against us, with the score tied
and man on second. l told Tinker
to lay over, that this fellow was
dead left-feld hitter, and 1 went
down near second. He bounced the
first ball pitched between me and first
base.
81 inquired about it. 1t seems the
paper that l had read had sent new
reporter out to cover the game, and
he got all mixed up and gave the
shortstop credit with handling three
balls that were hit at the second
baSeman."

OF
UTILITIES BOARD
IS QUESTIONED
KooIau Railway Company Of

AS a Matter OF Courtesy"

For the second time within the past
three months, the Koolau Railway
Company has questioned the jurisdic-
tion and rights of the Public Utilities
Commission, according to the opinion
of the members of that body. This
became evident yesterday afternoon
when. at meeting of the commission
communication was read from the
company regarding complaint made
against 1t by Manuel Sylvester, who
holds that the company is charging
excessive rates for transportation of
sugar cane. The letter informs the
commission, that, "as matter of
courtesy" the company is willing to
enlighten the board on the question
OF rates which has been raised by the
complaint.
The phrase, "as matter Of cour-
tesy," is what has led the members
of the commission to believe that the
Koolau Railway Company again is
raising the question Of jurisdiction
Under the public utility act, all util-
ity companies shall at any time fur

The announcement was made at

The news that the grand jury is to

to those who keep in touch with court

All this morning. from ten o'clock

crowd sat in the federals courtroom
hoping, most Of them, that some more

However, two more polite attorneys
than McCarn and Mcbride appeared
