Johnnie Dennison Finds Himself
Almost as Popular as Politician

Johnny Dennison, manager OF the
championship Luxus amateur base ball
nine. declares that the successful poll
tician who has a large and extensive
supply OF pies to deal off prolific pie
counter. has nothing on him for sudden
popularity.
Since Johnny piloted the Luxus TO the
amateur championship of Omaha and
then led that aggregation on a Junket
TO Cleveland as a reward for his efforts.
Johnny has discovered that all the
would-be, almost. not-quite. once-were
and think-they-are athletes in the world
are great friends OF his. Until Johnny
won the championship he didn't know
this.
Now Dennison gets on the average of

OF course the ambitious athletes dis
claim any such mercenary Intentions.
they are friends OF Dennison and want
to see him succeed. Oh. yes.
But among the list OF athletes who
have applied to Dennison for Jobs some

fellow named Davis, who recently moved
TO Omaha, may prove a find for Denni-

South Dakota semi-pro league last
year. where he made good record. He
may be just the man to strengthen the

But as the peace PLANS unfolded, Sin

Washington, Nov. 25-The railroads
of the country made a fiat demand on
Thursday for a revolutionary change
in the relations of the government to
the railroads.
General Counsel A. P. Thorn of the

the Newlands joint congressional
committee investigating interstate
commerce conditions that unless the
present system of railroad control is
reformed, government ownership of the
entire railroad systems of the country
is inevitable.
Mr.. Thorn opened the testimony for
the railroads with an outline of the
position the railroads take concerning
railroad regulations. He declared the
present system has almost complete
ly precluded new railroad construc-

all railroads.
