The Braevs are planning an "at-
tack brusque" and hope to sweep the
Athletics off their feet by their rush
ing aggressive methods. They be-
ieve that the worlds champions can
be beaten by aggressive attacks and
will go at them from the start.
There is more real ill-feeling be-.
tween the teams than has been evil
denced in a series in years.
The surprising thing is that the
Braves are chOck full Of confidence
in themselves. Every one of them
thinks they are bound to win and any
argument to the contrary is ridiculed.
They believe, their pitching strength
will carry them through. It was my
pleasure to be in last night at one
of their meetings at which they dis
cussed plans. .- .''
They have a plan of campaign
that is astounding, and their signal
ling system is absolutely new in base
ball. Other teams have charged
again and again that the Athletics
stole signals, but you may depend
upon it there will not be any signals
stolen or tipped off this year.

But when he returned to his hotel
he saw chance to make capital out
of the conversation. He called Mack
on the phone, unburdened himself of
some caustic comment, said the long
boss Of the worlds champions wasn't
a sport and closed by offering to
punch Comics nose.
Immediately his players took up
the fight, and they believe they are
much wronged young men.
Which should give the fair-minded
sports a swift pain. Neither Cubs
nor Giants were ever given the Mack
park to practice in, even during the
morning, and McGraw and Chance
didn't offer to punch Comics nose.
And it isn't on record that the
Macks ever practiced at the Polo
Grounds or on the West Side until
the afternoon they did battle in the
respective parks.
StaIIings argued that he wanted
to put his men through their PAGES

Municipal
Ownership Of
Public Utilities.

We believe that with the Village
Corporation owning the water
system that we can get much
lower rates for our water rental.
The Oakley Water Co. officials
make the claim that rates are
necessarily high because of the
high interest rate upon the money
invested in the system.
The claim has been made that
the present rates will do no more
than pay the regular rate upon
the money invested in the system
1t this is the case. there are but
two solutions to the problem,
one is to get more people in Oak
ley; the other is for the village
corporation to buy it, and bond

the latter is the only teasable one.

solution of the water problem is
