stop were President Barney Dreyfuss
of the Pittsburg club, Tommy Leach.
! Deacon Philippe, Claude Ritchey and
Harry Smith, all old timers, and several
of the present day Pirate team.
Al Mamaux RECALLED the company with
several of his vocal selections and the
main address OF the evening was given
by Senator Thompson. former captain
and coach of the University OF Ftttsburg
football team,
Judge Lands OF Chicago sent word
that 'Old Honus had put baseball on
the map of the world and he hoped he
would play ball for twenty more years"
.Dreyfuss told of Wagner going into the
game with legs n arms bandaged lie
recalled one occasion when Honus was
I'm such condition.. yet he stole home.
When Wagner got to his feet the
crowd made the place shake with it's
cheering for ten minutes, and finally
the modest Honus said II feel right
now that l am standing on third base
and l want to steal home"
In the nineteen seasons that Wagner
has played In the major leagues he
has taken part In 1855 games, been to
bat s.765 times, scored 1850 runs, made
3.245 hits, hammered out $3.50 w bag

has stolen FOG bases. His grand batting
average for that period IL ,332. and his
average DER season OF stolen bases IL

mark last year was better than the
previous year by ?2 points,

The major league ball teams are be-

than last year. Either of these last two
teams has a good chance to regain its
former glory and prestige and to be a
serious peinant factor. The Pirates,
Reds and Cardinals are not out of it.
The Pirates. except for the acquisition
of Arthur Wilson. have taken on no
new strength since u year ago. but
with Callahan managing they take on an
unknown quantity aspect. The Reds
have been pointing for better things
for a year under Herzog's direction.
and the Cardinals will at least continue
to be trouble makers. Clear dow the
ago. and still maintains that condition
of being closely matched which gave
such a tight race in 1915.
In tho American League the Red
Sox. with their pitching staff and that
outfield. are still the best prospect, with
the Detroits and White Sox next. The
Yankees. however. have added more
strength than any club In this league.
and II conditions are such that the best
results are obtained from that strength

 The Chamber of Commerce's con- tention that the bulletin board at the local station was not written up in time was transmitted to C.. l.. Bardo, general manager.
 It was complained by travellers that in some instances trains between 15 minutes and half an hour late were not posted until four minutes before the trains actual arrival in Bridge port. Through this neglect business men were compelled to come to the station and add to the often crowded conditions there rather than getting definite information by telephone which would have permitted their re- maining longer in their offices.
 Station Master Hunt has been in- structed to have bulletins posted as early in advance as possible and spe' cial telegraphic means will be taken to furnish Bridgeporters with the in- formation desired.

ADAMS0N TELLS HOW PASSAGE OF E|CHT-HOUR LAW PREVENTED
 NATIONWIDE RAILROAD STRIKE
Says No Passed By Congress Was More Justiabe
 Than Measure Which President Wilson Favored.

a strike. was to do what one side had agreed to-. It was a thing which we all knew was right, thing which we all knew ought to be done.
 There never was a fairer or better balanced proposition ever made than the proposition which President Will son made to the parties deadlocked over this issue. And he made it in the interest of the American people, to whom the whole crowd belongs, railroads and all. The position of the neutral is always misunderstood and mistrusted by the parties between whom he has :intervened. Each side thinks he is taking the part of the other, and that was true in this case. Both sides should have accepted the Presidents proposal in the beginning for it was based upon principle that fundamentally is right.
 In the passage of the eight hour act Congress adopted a suggestion which we all understood, which every body understands and which ought to have been embodied in legislation long ago. The other suggestions about which many of us differed and about which we had no time to work out a basis of agreement, we post poned for future consideration. There is one measure which the Senate should have passed. This is the bill increasing the membership of the In- terstate Commerce Commission from seven to nine members. It has al ready been adopted by the House and should have become a law without any reference whatever to the condi- tions raise1 by the strike. situation.
