on record as believing that $l was too much to charge for any service of the character The councilman sought to have the charges regulated.
 Alderman Hennessy stated that inasmuch as the rent cars had no monopoly in Bisbee, that the matter should be left as 1t now stands and added that competition would equal ize rates better than any action on the part of the Bisbee council Hen messy also stated that to the best of his knowledge and belief, no one of the rent service men was more than making a living at the business.
 Cunningham, however, was deter mined that the service should be reg ulated and asked City Attorney Elan igan if this could not be done by the council. Though the city attorney did not say it could be done he made the inference in that direction when he said that he would look it up.
 The majority of the rent drivers assert that the corporation commiss- ion alone can regulate rates and prac- tically all add that it is doubtful whether the commission could inter fere fin a matter of this kind In an probability. judging from the recep- tion the subject received in the coun- ell Tuesday night. it will not receive much mire serious consideration.

MATHEWSON MAY Be
THROUGH AS PITCHER
Giant OF the Mound Is Suffering
Greatly From Pain in His
Shoulder.

CHICAGO. June s.-Christy Mathew
son, the Giants veteran, star OF the
mound. Is paying in pain for his days
of glory on the diamond. ~ dull ache
in his shoulder is preventing him from
:seeping and it Is thought by his team
mates that his usefulness as u pitcher
Is gone.
Matty has been hors du combat for
several days, suffering dull pains in the
nerve region of his left shoulder. In
fact, he admitted having slept but three
hours a night for the last four nights,
and likened the sensation to that of a
toothache. The disorder Sunday night
extended its operations into the cords
of his neck. and upon risins today the
big fellow complained of sympa thetlc
pains IN his right shoulder, which hao
stiffoned.
DR.. Matushek. who examined Matty,
hopes to have the ailment remed.ed,
however. and has started Big Six on the
road to complete recovery.
Veteran baseball men who have dis
cussed the case with Matty are OF the
opinion that the latter Is suffering from
much the same nerve affliction that put
Big Ed Walsh out of commiss on two
years ago. Any violent exertion causes
sharp pains to shoot through his shoul-
