COMPENSATION ACT

Under Its Provisions.


Albany, n. Y, July 14,-Three far

mems compensation act and holding
that employees of all interstate rail-
roads and boat lines owned by rail-
roads operating within the state come
under its provisions. were handed
down by the court of appeals last
night.
Chiefly affected will be the inter-
state railroads. Since the law went
into effect, more than year ago they
have declined to take out insurance
or admit it affected them.
Disposing of the claim that the law
was ment to apply only to Interstate
commerce it was held that if such
had been the intention the act would
have said so plainly. 1t also pointed
out that there was nothing in the
law to offend the commerce clause of
the federal constitution, or put bur-
den on commerce. In brief, 1T was
held, the state had taken only such
steps as it was entitled to take in pro-
tecting employees of foreign corpor-
atoms operating within its confines.
The opinions, all of which were
written by Justice Miller, were rem
dered on appeals by the Southern
Pacific company, owners of railroads
and steamships and the Clyde steam
ship company, from judgements of
the appellate division affirming
awards made by the worknen's COM
nensation committee.

Philadelphia Oct. 7.-Ticket scalpers'
efforts to garner worlds series tickets
have bet with little success and but few
hold out hopes for today.
Inquiry at the various hotels disclosed
that ticket agents were also in the air.
At the Bellevue-Stratford announcement
was made that few tickets would be
ready this morning. but that they were
ordered and that the chances of any great
number being on sale were very slim.
Ex-Governor John X. Tener, president
of the National League. expressed gratifi-
cation to a group of friends in the Belle
vue-Stratford over the method adopted
by President Baker in the distribution of
world series tickets.
President Baker of the PhiIadelpbia
Baseball Club" he said, "is to be COM
mended for the manner in which he is
distributing the world series tickets to
the baseball fans. avoiding the selling
Of large lots to the encouragement of
spectators. President Bakers action has

of scandal that spread over the country
last year to the detriment Of good, clean

NO one has given George Chalmers

the gambling element in this city last

restore confidence in the Red Sox.

RIXEY AND MAYER GOOD
BY AL DEMAREE,

Pitcher for the Phiadelphia Nationals
Philadelphia. Oct. THE dopesters
have been busy as gossips tearing our
team to tatters in comparing 1t to the
Red Sox. After reading a few write
ups about our chances in the world's s
series. l am convinced that we have
no more chance of winning the series
than the White Sox of 1906 or the
Braves Of 1914.
One critic mentioned our pitching
staff. and remarked that Alexander
was the only pitcher Moran had. Well.
what better pitching staff does a man
ager need than the big Nebraskan.
Alexander Is such a bright star in
the pitching armament. that he COM
pletely outshines the rest of the Philly
hurlers. He makes US look like candles
compared to the sun.
None of the wise guys" can see
any one but Alex the Great. and no
wonder. 1t is hard to see any one
else with him looming up in the fore
ground. However, the critics COM
pletely overlook the fact that Moran
has several twirlers besides his big
gun who can be depended upon to put
up a great battle against Carrigan's
crew.
Chalmers has been pitching an
article of ball second only to Alexan-
but he has turned in game after game
Of finely pitched ball. You cannot
ask more Of a pitcher.
Mayer is capable of beating the best
in the game when he Is right and
Rixey has plenty of stun to stand the
Red Sox batters on their ears II his
control happens to be good.
McQuillen would probably turn in a
good game If called upon, and your
humble servant might even win a
game.

year, see only seven straight games
