READING URGED
TO FIX CROSSINGS
Recommendations Made by
Commissioner Ryan in an
Opinion Handed Down

The Public Service Commission in
an opinion by Mommissioner Michael
j. Ryan has dismissed the petition of
w. +. Price and others for abolition
of a grade crossing at Bingaman
street, Reading. but calls upon the
representatives of the county, city and
railroads to take steps to arrange a
plan for abolishing crossings where
complaint is apt to arise. The decision
says that the evidence produced does
not show the crossing to be of such
dangerous character as to warrant
the commission in making an order.
I'VE couple with our refusal to act
now the earnest suggestion to the
uthorities of the City of Reading,
to the representatives of the couny,
the officers of both railroads enter
ing the city and to all public service
corporations therein" says the deci-
sion, Ito meet in conference with all
individuals like the petitioners and
representatives of the City Planning
Commission and endeavor to agree
upon some comprehensive plans by
which the object so earnestly sought
by so many good citizens of Reading
may be achieved"

I and 1916, both inclusive. said Herr.
mann, the American and Nationa
Leagues paid minor leagues for the
draft of young players $472. 400, anC
during the same period purchased
from the minors players for whom
1881, 900 cash was paid, and upon
which there were deferred payments
of $3.50, 900. a total expenditure in all
three transactions of approximately
S2,4S4,O0O. Minor organizations oi
tho higher grades, affiliated with or
ganized baseball, paid leagues of a
lower classification S1,440,000 pur-
chase money for players, and when
the two aggregate sums are added
together they show that organized
and purchase of minor leaguers in
these five years.
Not All Stars
While the testimony Of Hermann
was regarded by the plaintiffs as
sion had almost absolute control of
tho baseball situation, invariably
Hermann included in his answers a
note indicating that the Commission
was a benevolent institution and pro-
tected the ballplayers as well as the
clubs.
The case of Eddie Collins was
again taken. up as an illustration or
what mightShappen to a player who
refused to sign for the salary offered
him. If Eddie had refused to go to
the Chicago Americans for the salary
he was receiving from the Athletics,
in all probability he would have been
declared ineligible to play in organ
lied baseball by the National Com
mission, admitted Hermann.
Mr.. Janney asked Hermann If
public opinion wasn't the controlling
factor in these cases, and Hermann
admitted that it played an impor-
tant part.
But Mr.. Collins greatly profited
by the deal" said Hermann. He
had no say regarding his sale to the
Chicago team for $4,000, but he got
his salary raised from S11,500 to
$4,000, and a bonus of $4,000 for
signing with Chicago" o.
Herman admitted that these large
payments for draft and purchase
were not in a spirit of philanthropy,
and when Attorney Janney asked
him, You got value for your mon
ey?" Hermann replied: mo, I
wouldn't say yes to that either. 1t is
inherent in most ballplayers to be-
lieve they are stars" said Hermann,
despite proof to the contrary"

THREE LETTERS
FOR TECH STAR:
BECk'S RECORD

Carl Beck, Techs crack all-around
freshman athlete, Will receive his
third ''T" for being a member of
the track team, the first time that
feat has been accomplished at the
Maroon institution. In addition to
this award, Beck has a collection
of fourteen gold medals, six silver
and two bronze medals, as we'll as
having received the loving cup for
being high scorer in the high school
meet that was staged over on the
island. By the time Beck finishes
his high school course, at his pres
ent rate, he will have corner on
most of the medals in this part of
the state.
Beck is a star performer in the
high and low hurdles, the weights
and is a member of the Tech relay
team. He is no slouch either when
1t comes to the broad jump. In
the twelve-pound shot he made his
best heave at the Lafayette meet
with toss of Al feet 2h inches.
Three times this season, at State,
the Island and at Lafayette, he top

AT State College he tailed first

hurdles, and first in the low hurdles;
he was also a member of the relay

BALL PLAYERS ARE COSTLY:
HERMANN ON STAND IN
FEDS BIG DAMAGE SUIT

Philadelphia, June 14.-August
Hermann, Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of Baseball, the Ma
tional Commission, assembled the wit
ness chair In Judge Dickinson's Court
yesterday at the trial of the $780, 900
damage suit of the Baltimore Fed
eral League Club against Organized
Baseball, and added to the testimony
of l.. Edwin Goldman, of Baltimore,
the story of the baseball game, Herr
mann's dissertation might appear to
be mere repetition of q lesson that
almost everyone knows, but through
him counsel for the Baltimore Feds
endeavored to prove that professional
baseball, as a business, and not as
sport, was engaged in interstate
commerce. Proof of this fact is nee
essary for the Baltfeds to sustain
their damage suit, as it is brought
under the Sherman Antitrust laws
on the contention that organized
baseball is a trust.
According to Hermann, the Ma
tional Commission is unincorporated,
has no stockholders, no profits and
pays no dividends. The expenses are
paid by the Commissions share of
the Worlds Series receipts and any
moneys that remain in excess of the
operating expenses are turned into
lnS treasury. Al the close Oh laSC
year, Mr.. Hermann said, there was
S20,635.60 in the treasury, which
amount would nearly all be used for
expenses before the Worlds Series
next fall, when the treasury would be
replenished.
At the time of the establishment
of the National Commission condi-
tions in baseball were very bad, Mr..
Hermann said, and the purpose for
which the Commission was formed
was to stop rowdyism and dissension
between clubs and the American and
National Leagues.
Buying and Drafting
The system of buying and drafting
players from the minor league was
also explained. AS a player is ad-
Vanced from one class team to an
other his salary is also considerably
advanced, Hermann said, showing
that the alleged ''ironclad" reserve
clause does not forbid the increasing
of players salary or the betterment
of conditions generally.
Organized baseball spent nearly
100000 between 1911 and 1916 IN
the draft and purchase alone of
minor leagues, according to the tes-
timony of Hermann. Between 1911

Lescure's One-Hand Stop
Keeps Reading on Top

Lescure's one-hand stop of a liner
ever second base checked a batting
rally on the part of the Stanley play
ers in the final inning and Reading
was able to win to contest from
the legaue leaders.
The Reading players punched hits
with their opponents errors in the
second and fifth sessions. Stanley
scored a run in each of the first and
last innings and was going strong
for the victory when Lescure made
his star play.
Heiner pitched sensational ball,
allowing the Stanley team two hits,
until the sixth, when his work be-
came a trile erratic. and to save
the contest the railroad manager
used Platt to finish the game. john
son and Heiner both whitfield six bat
ters, while Platt famed the last
batter in the sixth. The score by

for this EVENT., and ran on the
winning relay team. He also landed
two seconds in the broad jump and
discus throw.
AT the Lafayette meet he scored
seconds in the shot put, and high
hurdles, and took first in the low
hurdles. He ran on the relay team
that landed third place. Last Sat
urday in the Reading High school
meet, this freshman took firsts in
both hurdles, second in the shot
put and third in the broad jump.
AS member of the relay team he
helped bring home permanently the
loving cup that has been fought for
during the last ten years. Norris
town, Camden, Tech and Reading
each had two legs on it, while Steel.
ton and Wilmington each had won
once previously.
Other Good Work
Besides starring in track, Beck
is center and guard on the bas-
ketball quintet, and plays a back
field position on the football eleven.
He is a member of his class base
ball team, playing third base, and
is considered one of the best wrestl-
ers in the city. With three more
years at Tech, it is expected that
this lad will outshine his brother
Clarence who recently had been con-
tinuing his athletic career at State
until he gave his Aervices to Uncle
Sam.
