ABOARD TILE MIDNIGHT SPEC
1AL,. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
BROOKLYN AND BOSTON, Oct. II
Whether you are flying with the
Robins and hanging around with the
Sox makes little difference on this
train-it's just as uncomfortable one
way as another.
You are supposed to be able to get
on at Grand Central and sleep straight
through to Back Bay station. You
stand as good chance of doing it as
ia man whose wife has just presented
him with triplets.
The only way you can get to sleep
Is to stagger down the aisle and
KNOCK yourself senseless on RUDE
Marquard's elbow or Wilbert Robin
,son's paunch.
Uncle Robbie ought to carry a
corps of custom tailors to fit his play
ters to their berths. Mr.. Marquard,
IA most pleasant and comfortable
tgentleman to associate with in his
waking hours, becomes at night on
"a Pullman a deadly combination Of
points and angles, only few of which
can be gotten with the three mile
limit.
His Nightly Solo.
Almost to man the Red Sox need
maxim silencers. Babe Ruth is the
most beautiful crescendo sleeper we
ever listened to; Bill Carrigan at
fects rich baritone repese. His low
er tones are rem arkable, though bit
throaty.
In addition to that the special stops
abruptly every once in a while as il
1t had forgotten something and had
to go back to get it.
To the wandering insomniaist the
way is dark and full of shoes. Stray
legs concealed by curtains ram him
amid-ship ever and anon; and that
exceedingly clever story he had
thought UP about yesterdays game
has long since been knocked out Of
him.
If Brooklyn wins today and still has
hopes of grabbing the series, all
Uncle Robbie need do to wreck Mr..
Carrigan's organization is to wait his
chance on the return trip and lead
Bill's players one by one up and down
the Ptillmans at 500 o'clock in the
morning
A Sad Transition.
TITS a sad transition for the players
from the luxurious rose and old gold
headquarters hosiery in Brooklyn to
that red brick place in Boston, with
its mahogany portals and red plush
chairs.
Uncle Robbie was looking for RUDE
Marquard at the hotel yesterday
morning 1t remained for the Red
Sox to find him in the afternoon.
Mr. Senior Ebbets didn't have a
bit of run Wednesday. Surrounded
by scattered groups Of empty seats
he faced not only Robins defeat

Several weeks ago we com
mented editorial)y on the high
price of living, or rather on tn
vicious and objectionable action
of the spectators of cornering the
market of common articles of
food, thereby increasing the de-
mand by lessening the supply in
the open market, and thus forcing
the prices of these necessaries of
life upward so high as virtually
to be beyond the reach of per-
sons of ordinary means. This
condition of affairs becomes the
more inhuman and unbearable
when we know it is created by the
Spectators solely for their own
gain and enrichment. We notice
that nearly all, if not all of the
3arge communities of this country
have protested and loudly clamor
Ifor relief from this hurtiul con-
dition. 1t is not right. and that
which bears down unrighseousIy
upon the wants of any people is
oppression. Why is the price of
flour so high? This country pro-
duces more than enough -four.
when it is permitted to enter the
open market in q normal way, to
supply the needs of the consumer
at reasonable price. The same
is true of the other ordinary arti-
cles of food, except sugar. W.
do not produce enough sugar to
supply the local demand. The
import of this article from foreign
countries always regulate reason
able prices, but when this import
from foreign countries is cut off,
as it is now, it is natural that the
price thereof should be high No
one can complaiu of this with re-
ason. because it is regulated by
the natural law of supply and
demand.
