HEARING IN NEW HAVEN
 ON NEW TROLLEY FARES
Opposition Was Made by Prominent
 Citizens and Labor Unions.

New Haven Conn.,. Sept. 27.-The action of the Connecticut company in raising trolley fares throughout the state to six cents was both defended and criticized at a hearing before a special aldermanic committee here to- night. The defense was made by Lu- elan Storrs president of the cor. ora -' tion, and Benjamin Silverthau. a stock holder. The adverse comment came from citizens of prominence and rep resentativeS of labor unions.
 MT. Storrs read statistics to show that costs of operating the system had increased $1,O94,OO0 in the last eight months. while increase in farCJ had been but $40O,000. He said that the company earned no dividend in the last year and could not operate at a loss. He was asked if he would act to get postponement of the intended in crease in the rate until the matter could be investigated but would not commit himself.
 Among those who spoke against the increase was David E. Fitzgerald for mayor. who averred that many of the increases in operation cited by MT. Storrs were for permanent and really formed an in crease in assets.
 The purchase by the city of the lines here were advocated by some of the speakers. Corporation Counsel Kleiner advised getting all possible data be- fore starting any action.
 The aldermanic committee has not decided upon it's future action but is expected to formulate programme within the next few days

Frank Bakers salary is ss,6s6.67 a year while Herzog is drawing s1O,- 900.
 Comiskey has not come east with the White Sox. He is arranging the worlds series ticket sale in Chicag go.
 Rube Benton is having his best year. The big southpaw is as game as a pebble and may be the Giants big gun in the worlds series.
 McGraw is boss of the Giants, which is one of the big reasons why they are on top. He never has permitted the players to manage him. Cleveland club this season and viii be retained for manager next season. The Indians have just about .clinched third place.
 George Proto made such a hit with Boston fans the other night that plans are already under way to match him with Young Buckley with iE two weeks.
 Benton, Sallee and Perritt in regular turns the rest of the campaign except when it becomes necessary to call on Tesreau and Demaree in some of the double. headers.
 Those who are doping out Ferdie Schupp's chances against the White Sox figure the case solely from the ability of Rowland's men to hit south paws. The real angle is this: If Schupp is in his best form the White Sox won't bother him, because he is capable of setting down any club. If he isn't at his best the Sox will keep him very busy.

BEST MANAGED SPORTS EVENT IS GRAND AMERICAN TOURNEY
Has Been Handled So Many Years by
 the Same Capable Force. That the
 Management is Next to Perfection.
By Peter P. Carney


 Editor National Sports Syndicate success unless it is well managed. The best managed of all sporting events is the Grand American Trapshootine Tournament.
 This is a broad assertion. and in making it we did not overlook thing mot even the worlds series' in ba seball, which, as wc know from eX- perience. is a thoroughly managed proposition.
 Therefore, when we assert that the Grand American Trapshooting Tour nament is the best handled of any large sporting attraction. a great deal is said. If you are in any way doubt full as to the assertion, drop in at the and see for yourself. We'll leave 1t to you.
 As a sporting proposition. the Grand American Trapshocting Tournament is second to none-in fact, those who are interested in baseball and trap shooting claim that the October classic in baseball doesn't compare with the Grand American. This trapshooting game is much bigger and more inter- 'csting than those who are not inter- ested believe.
 This, however. is getting away from the real idea of the articie-expert management. For 25; years Elmer E.. Shaner has managed the tournaments
  person who manages anything for 25 years should be pretty nearly perfect. Shaner is. He knows his business and handles things correctly. To do competent staff of assistants This Mir. Shaner has done. He seldom makes changes.
 For 16 years Fred Whitney. from Iowa way, has cashiered the Grand American shoots. receiving and paying D,,k 1f IAJI <loiI making errors; and for 13 years Ber- nard Elsesser, of York. Pa, has com ri1ed the scores. After man com piles Scores for 1s years he should year these men are assisted by B. Reed Shanen. of Pittsburgh. Pa: D. H. Eaton. of Cincinnati. Ohio: J. F. Cook. of Hutchinon. Kansas: c. s. ing. of Marseilles. H., and Luther Squier is the mathematician. A lot of mathematics is required when hun dreds of men are shooting and the prize money is to be distributed in fifty or more ways
 The care of the traps is a very inn portant thing. also the overseeing of the trap boys and pullers, and the out of the shooters. All these have been developed to a science. No less than 63 boys were engaged in the trapping of targets at the recent Grand American. and there was the same number of referees and scorers. H:sC Kirkwood had general charge of these pullers. trappers and scorers, and James O'Hanlon. of the New York Athletic Club, was the chief squad hustler"
 This was O'Hanlon's first tourna- nent He is now fixture. He got put the shooters better than they ever were gotten to the firing lire, and 1ever was much time lost. O'Hanlon 1 lad chairs placed a few yards behind | .ach of the five pegs at each trap and lad the shooters who were next in | urn to sit in the chairs. When one l quad went to the traps another | quad occupied the chairs. Therefore l tt no time in the tournament was | Eere a minute lost.
 For efficiency in management and | in detail the Grand | American Trapshooting Tournament | akes first prize.

teen feet of where I aimed it.

 teen feet of where aimed it..
 "On a curve I couldn't be so sure, but I believe that I can do the same with more than half the curves that face.
 'I believe that it would pay every major league club to have a man to do nothing but coach batters A fellow gets into a slump for no reason that he can see. But a trained man who knows batting could see the reason and coach the Eatter out of his slump. The pitchers claim they can make a batter pull his hits into either left or right field, if they have good control. They can't do it if the batter has any sense. For instance if thty put one over on the inside of the plate I can easily overcome that handicap by step ping back from the plate a little. If it comes the other way I step into tht strike to meet it better. A little foot work on the part of the batter will overcome a awful lot of the advan- tage of the pitcher usually has. Then, too. I have learned that when I am having an off time with the stick if I elevated my elbow a little I can get back into a truer swing. There are lots of little tricks that the batter can experiment with to break himself of a bad hitting habit. Lots of things, if he only had some trained observer to point them out. Of course, the manager might do this but he is mich overworked on the field as it is. tHe hasn't time for everything and can't be bothered with too many details"

 rcusly nipped by an unusually early freeze. Celery is hopelessly belated;
 a good six weeks behind normal, with | small prospects for enough to return

 cabbages better than usual; ditto on
 ions; carrots and caulifiower below | the mark.
 | So it has gone through the entire | list. Some things have produced as | well, and a few better than usual; ;
 some things have failed wholly or in part.
 But the prices which I have been | able to secure have not, as rue, | risen in any equal proportion to the 1 costs l have had to bear. On only two crops have l been able to main | tam higher prices than ruled, last l season, in the same market. On at least fourteen I have obtained the same rates.. On three-winter onions, winter beans and winter cabbage, 1 do not yet know how I shall come out. Present indications point to a slight ly better price for beans and onions, and about the same old one for cab bage.
 In any case, my increased expenses
 have been considerably greater than all the increased income 1 can reckon | on with any nope.
 Instead of having made "excess"
 profits, my seasons turnover will net me from thirty to fifty per cent. less profit than last years, though my az gregate production will be somewhat greater.

 own experience and my observation of
 neighbors convinces me that eastern
 farmers. instead of having made ''ex- cess" profits this season. have made less than usual profits.
 And I object, strenuously and vo- ciferously. to New York city stock who couldn't have done our summer's work to save their lives and who wouldn't have known what to do nor how to do 1t. even if they had had the gumption and the brawn-I object to their self-conceited and b.lmptiOus at tempts at featuring us upon either our inefhciency or our "excess" prof its.
