BRAVES SIGN COACH.
Stalhhgs Hooks Up Jacaklitsch to Work
 Out the Hurlere

Boston, June 1.-Seeking to bolster the chances of his doundering charges Manager George stallinga of tho Braves 8 few days ago signed Fred Jacklitsch. . veteran catcher who has seen service with several major league clubs. Jacklttsch Is making the Western trip with the Bostonians. He is expected to start at once . course of drilling for stallings' hurl- CTS.
 The signing of Jacklitsch is a rather significant move on the part of Staliings. It goes to show just how much the Haddock planter thinks of sage, wise advice back of the platter in developing the backbone of win ming ball club. a pitching staff. Of course. there is little intention on the part of the Braves boss to use the veteran in league contests so long as Henry Gowdy. the Columbus, clouter. is able to take his daily turn. But Jacklitsch will draw active duty at once in schooling pitchers.

<
 New York, June Billy Gibson. manager of Kenny x Leonard. new worlds lightweight champion. last night said that Matt, Hinkel. the Cleveland promoter, has made q fine offer for LIeonard's services In !, 2 match with Johnny Kilbane., Unless there is a favorable outlook for an open air match between the two champions in this vicinity about July 1 Gibson Is favorably inclined to ac- cept Hinkers offer for a contest in the West. Gibson strongly favors an open air bout here. as he feels com hdent the contest would break all records for attendance. f
 In view of the fact that Kilbanes tried to get Welsh's title. but suc- ceeded only in outpointing him, while Leonard stopped the Briton, the rival-s ry between the present champion and the Clevelander is very keen.

u. S. Has Low Freight Rate

At this critical point in the develop
ment of the American peoples rela-
ton to their transportian systems, it
is worth while to point out some
items of comparison OF our railroads
with other transportation systems of
the world given in n recent report of
the bureau of railway economies. 1t
appears from this investigation that
the freight rates paid the American
railroads are now hut little more
than 8 per cent of the average rate
on European lines. No country of the
world shows such n low freight rate
as the United States except India,
where the labor cost is so strikinkly
small as compared with any other
country as to change the whole prob
lem of comparison. The average ton
mile rate in our country is .729 cent;
in India, 4 cents; France, lis cents,
and Germany, 1.24 cents. In the new
er countries of magnificent distances
and small density the average rate per
ton mile runs up as high as 7.04 cents
in Brazil. Our railroads have over
hauls by operating and engineering
boldness and ingenuity, chiefly exem-
plifled by the larger capacity of
freight cars and the greater power
of locomotives. Our freight car carries
much over twice the volume of the
European car. Our average freight
train hauled in 1913 1854 tons, the
average German train hauled 239
tons and the French train 147 TONS
