WI GJAOAL4hs
The team is in as good condition
rs at any time this year. Cheney ana
Vaughn are right and HUMPHREYS has
been tossing some good games in re-
cent starts. Fisher seems to have
plugged the hole at short on defense,
and if he can hit around $50 the
power of the team will be increased.
So far Fisher has done everything
asked of him. In six times at bat he
has poked two hits, one a triple, and
he has cared for IA fielding chances
without the semblance of a slip. He
also swiped base yesterday and act
ed like man who was glad to
emerge again from the minors and
would work to stay up.
Pitcher Walter Schorr of South
Bend of the Southern Michigan
League has been purchased by the
Cubs and signed 1915 contract. He
did good work in the sticks.
Where the Sox finish, or how many
games they win from now to the end
of the season, is immateriaI. The in
terest centers in the showing of the
youngsters Callahan has picked up
for development. -,
Small chance is offered for the Sox
to climb from the second division,
and Callahan has discarded all inten-
tons of taking this rather doubtful
honor. He is rebuilding, which is an
encouraging sign to South Sign fans,
who have been crying for some such
action.
Roth, Manda and Baker, the three
recruits so far exhibited, are favored
by fate. They are getting their
chance when nothing is at stake for
the team, and that tends to lessen
the nervous strain. They can shake
into major league condition, if they
possess the qualifications, and be
ready for a fast start when the open
ing gong rings in 1915.
Roth has been boosted often since
he Joined the team, and he richly de-

a Giant, but he meets the ball solidly
and sends it away from the plate with
a healthy ring.
Yesterday he poIed a double and
two singels in four times at bat. One
Of his singles was stuck in during the
Sox rally in the seventh. His other
two blows were wasted because his
mates did not follow up his smashes.
And on defense he showed just as
well. He threw a runner out at the
plate, thereby saving the team from
defeat. This is the third time he has
turned the trick.
Baker got another chance because
Breton was still unable to perform,
and punched an important single
during the rally round. Manda was
not a factor on attack, but felded
sensatiOnally around second.
Happy FeIch will also be here be-
fore the end of the season, and a
comparison can be drawn between
the work of the two American As-N
sociation stars. Felch did the heav-
Ter batting in the big minor, but
Roth eXcelled at fielding and was
much faster on the bases.
There is no aIibi necessary for
Tinker's Feds. They are, back to a
tie for first place with Indianapolis,
three games ahead of Baltimore,
which rests in third position.
But the Thinks have done good
work in the last few days and deserve
praise for pulling up even with the
Hoofeds after being apparently on
the tOboggan. Lack of pinch hitting
is the only crack in the armor now.
Prendergast was hammered yester-
day, but had the Thinks been able to
bat home few runs Boss Joe would
have lifted Prendy earlier and sent in
a more reliable man than Mcclure.
He naturally refused to waste a good
HEAVIER on a forlOrn hope.
Prendergast was hit on the arm by
a pitched ball in the third frame and

justment it has been suggested, might
relieve the railroads of such a burden
that the proposed general increase of
per cent. in freight rates would be
unnecessary.
H. C. Barlow, traffic manager of the
Chicago Association of Commerce, was
the chief witness of the day He de-
clared emphatically no saving to the
railroads would result from the elm
ination of the trap car service SO
far as Chicago was concerned. Louis
d. Brandeis, special counsel for the
commission and the same legal repre-
sentative of the carriers who have
appeared in the freight rate increase
hearings, took part in the somewhat
informal discussion that followed.
Mr.. Brandeis asked the witness if
he did not believe an injustice would
be shown if, as the figures he quoted
tended to show, the cost Of handling
trap cars in Chicago consumed as
high as 60 per cent. of the total rev.
erue of the carriers derived from haul
in gthe goods in these cars. With sim
liar charges at destination, he sug-
gasted, nothing would be left to pay
the up-keep of the mileage between
terminals, not to mention leaving a
profit for the road. Mr.. Barlow said the
figures were misinterpreted and that
the terminal payments were agreed
upon and paid by the carriers among
themselves.

Speaks Before Convention Of

Washington, Feb. 12.-Business was
advised to be free with its suggestions
to Congress during the shaping of the

today by Louis d. Brandeis Of Boston,
which closed session given over by
the annual convention of the Cham

Free and unrestricted competition
was not the Presidents object, Mr..
Brandeis declared, but rather regu-
lated competition. Absolute divorce of
transportation from industry, lie con-
tinued, was essential to any legisla-
tive action that would set business
free. Every great monopoly had been

ber of the third party movement (who
attended the Portland gathering) to a
Republican worker today. Il begin to
fear that two or three men are run
ming the thing because they want

That sentiment is very general
among the men who furnished Theo-
dore Roosevelt the highly compliment
tary vote he received in Maine in No
vember, 1912. They feel that the gem
tlemen who were so arrogant in their
refusal to discuss peace measures with
the Republican party, made serious
mistake. The rank and file of the
third party are ready for conference
1t is only the self-appointed leaders
who are not.
Throughout the length and breadth
of this country there is movement
toward amalgamation. The pinch Oh
hard times is felt more keenly IN the
Middle and Far West than 1t lss IN
Maine and the folly of the division OF
1912 is more apparent. The people IN
those states realize that if the 100000
of anti-free trade voters had voted
together, the 100000 free trade vot-
ers would never have taken charge OF
this country's affairs. Both parts OF
that 100000 voters are seeking ways
and means to get together on an hon
orable basis. They will find it.

Portland, Me-, Feb 12.-Congressman
Frank Plumley of Vermont was the
principal speaker at the ANNUAL dinner
of the Lincoln Club in this city to-
night. Mr.. Plumleys speech was de-
voted almost entirely to an arraign-
ment of the Democratic administra-
ton for its tariff policy. He charged
that the recently enacted tariff bill
had depressed business throughout the
country, had closed manufacturing es-
tablishments and thrown hundreds of
thousands of people out of employ
ment. He said that the promise of the
Democratic party to reduce the cost
of living had not been redeemed and
that it was higher today than it was
on March /, 1918.
Mr.. Plumley said the President had
approved law which made vital
and vicious attack on the civil ser
vice of the country and declared that
his foreign policy had aroused sus-
picion and stimulated antagonlsm
abroad and had made war with Mex
leo almost if not quite the necessary
outcome" He concluded by predicting
the return of the Republican party TO
mower in 1916. A letter of regret was
read from Congressman Asher Z.
Kinds. in which he said that the spirit
which Abraham Lincoln showed in his
work was "a safe guide for the soiu-
tion of the new problems which may
arise in the exigencies of national
life.
