WHITE SOX DEMAND
HIGHER SALARIES

When Skipper Gleason, of the good
ship White Sox starts marshaling his
crew for a cruise OF the 1920 pennant
seas, he faces a task that will make
his efforts in landing the 1919 Ameri-
can League pennant pale into insig-
nificance. Almost unanimous will be
the demands Of his otherwise orderly
mates for salary increases commen-
surate with their efforts in bringing
the 1919 pennant to the Windy City.
With the exception of Buck
Weaver, whose contract has another
year to run, the signature Of the
alabaster-nosed athlete must all be
affixed to new contracts before the
1920 gong rings and these documents
must call for increased stipends or
Skipper Gleason fears a mutiny hat
he will find difficult to settle.
"We've given Comiskey and the
White SoX our best efforts all season
and some OF US suffered a cut in sal

one of the members of the team but

THREE F'S' ARE
REAL SENSATIONS

The three IFS" FIadstead Of the
Detroit Tigers, Fewster OF the New
York Yankees, and Frisch OF the New
York Giants, are the outstanding
rockies of the 1919 season in the ma
joF leagues.
FlaEstead is regarded as the best
batsman Of the newcomers in major
league circles this season and is des-
tined to keep up the reputation Of
Hughey Jennings in uncovering hard
hitting gardeners.
Fewster adorned the Yankees
bench most of the season, getting his
opportunity when Shortstop Peckin-
pauGh was injured and later when
Second Baseman Pratt was nursing a
charley horse. But his greatest ac-
has been in right field,
which berth he nailed down perma-
nently when rushed out there to stop

from the individual players who soon

The serial will begin tomorrow, Sep

will be made Of the Cincinnati oUtfieId.
The figures will show what each
player has accomplished in batting
and fielding this year, including a full
list of extra base hits, stolen bases,
sacrifice hits, total chances accepted,
and other interesting data. Also there
will be an intimate inside story OF
how the Red oUtfeiders may be ex-

The next day the White Sox out

On the third day the Red inhelders

AMALGAMATED TO
Be HEARD SEPT. 29

The Federal Electric Railway Com
mission, appointed by President VIII
son to look into the unsettled con
ditions in the traction service field
and to consider the necessity for a.
nancial relief, after having heard the
case OF the members OF the American
Electric Railway Association, will re-
sumo public hearings on September
% to hear the side OF the Amalgama-
ted Association OF Street and Electric
Employees.
A summary OF the testimony al
ready presented to the commission
points to the fact that electric rail-
ways throughout the country are
operating at a loss, and that their
revenues, based as q rule on the
nickel fare and pFe-War conditions,
have not kept pace with the increased
cost Of service
While the Federal Commission is
without power to Fix rates or decree
relief, Il is expected that the recon-
mendations Of the commission VIII
serve as a guide to State and muIi-
ctpal regulatory agencies when they
approach their respective local situG-
tions.
Remedies Suggested.
Remedies already suggested to the
Commission range from higher fares
to relief from special taxes and mu-
nicipal ownership. The cost-at-
service plan, guaranteeing a return
10 investors and payment by the
public for what Il receives. found an
advocate in Secretary Of War Baker.
In speaking OF the extraordinary
taxes imposed on street railways,
Prof. Charles J. Bullock, Of Harvard
University and former president Of
the National Tax Association, said:
"Since we are now, committed to the
policy Of regulation Of public service
corporations, we should readjust our
theories OF taxation to pFesent-day
facts and conditions. We must as
sumo that special taxes upon electric
railways or other public service com
panies Increase the expense Of proVid-
ing the service, and. IN the long run.
must be borne by those who use the
service, either in the form Of in
creased rates or reduced facilities.
Under a regime Of effective phblie
regulation, 1t Is undesirable to subject
public service corporations to heavier
taxation than is imposed upon other
classes Of business or property"
Philadelphia OGIclaIs To Testify.
At the resumption of the. hearings
before the commission, It is expected
that officials Of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company will also
be present to testify as to the
success in that city, both hnan-
eially and industrially. OF a co-opera-
tive arrangement between employer
and employe. which has freed that
company from the difficulties, encoun-
tered by other companies.
Charles E. Elmduist. chairman Of
the Federal Electric Railway Commits
sion, at an invitation OF an official Of
the Philadelphia company, recently
had an opportunity to witness and
learn the details of the actual opera
tion of the system in vogue in Phua-
delphia.
He returned to washington fully
convinced that that system afforded
a working example OF what proper
management and Industrial goodwill
would do for q corporation employing
thousands Of workers.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-Revolution
is coming in American League cir
cles before the winter is out. Ban
Johnson, despite his Eve eyes men,
in Washington, Cleveland, st. Louis,
Detroit, and Philadelphia, is in for
q red-hot scrap to hold his lordly
berth at the head Of the junior
league. Before the battle ends,
Charlie Comiskey, leading the reb-
els, hopes to drive Ban from base
bail altogether.
To add to the gayety Of nations,
Col William +. Baker, president OF
the Philadelphia National League
Club, rises to demand Garry Herr
mann's immediate resignation as
chairman Of the National Commission.
From Cincinnati comes Herrmann's
refusal to accede to Bakers demand.
The American Leagues board OF di-
rectors held a Meeting here yester-
day Ban johnson, member ex oficio,
was absent. So was his fellow mag
nate, sunny Jim" Dunn, part owner
with Ban in the Cleveland club
When the meeting closed Colonel
Rupert, of the New York club, issued
the following statement:
VIII Drive Ban Out.
ban johnson will be put out Of
baseball. The Chicago White Sox
and the Boston Red Sox have aligned
themselves with the New York club
in this fight against the American
League executive. We do not believe
hm#
basebalt club in thu league Should oes
head OF that organization, ana Mr..
johnson has admitted that he is a
stockholder in the Cleveland club OF
our circuit.
Furthermore, Mr.. Johnson has act
ed arbitrarily toward the board OF d.
rectors in a number OF instances. He
has refused 10 attend the special
meetings which We called, he has
failed to submit the evidence which
he claims he has in regard to gam
bling at ball parks, and ne also has
declined to comply with our request
TO submit a statement OF the financial
affairs of the league.
"His Is a direct violation of the
constitution and bylaws Of the league.
We believe that the time has come
when the powers OF Mr.. Johnson
should be curtailed, and it is our in
tention to carry this matter through
20 the end"
Rupert said that the board had
obtained an abundance OF legal talent
TO assist in the fight against the
American Leag head.
Baker BaVIs Hermann.
Baker, in referring to Hermann,
said:
The Cincinnati club cinched the
pennant in our league yesterday, and
as q man Mr. Hermann should resign
from the commission. IT would not be
fair, for baseball for Hermann to sit as
a Judge on the commission when his
club Is one OF those which win be a
contestant for the worlds champion
strip. His resignation should be tend
cred Immediately, as this will greatly
clear the way for the work for which
we are here today"
Baker did not say whether Herr
mann had been asked TO resign. |
When advised that Hermann had de-
clared that he knew Of no committee
having been appointed to select a sue |
cessor to him as chairman Of the COM
mission Colonel Rupert acted as |
spokesman and said that the Cincin- |
natl Official was fully aware Of the /

WILBUR BURFORD ADDS FAME OF ALUMNI OF
 JUNEAU HIGH SCHOOL

Wilbur Burford, as student at Berkeley, is adding to the fame of the alumni of the Juneau High School, oi which he is a graduate. He is active in athletics, music, fra ternal circles and other things as well as making fine record in scholastic work
 The Rattle the official publica- tion of the Theta Chi Fraternity, published at Boston, contains an account of the contest for the fra ternity basket ball championship at Berkeley. Wilbur Burford, mem Der of the Theta Chi, was one of the team of that fraternity which won the fraternity basketball cup. The light was a severe one, and Purford and his colleagues de- tended the cup in half dozen hot contests. The cup was finally ta- ken from them by the A. K L. by the close score of 26 to 30.
 Wilbur Burford is a member of his fraternity and other glee clubs and musical organizations. Wilbur Burford was reared in Ju- leau and is son of J. w. Bur ord of this City.
