Instead Of taking things easy and
thinking over every pitch. he let's
ny as soon as the catcher gives the
signal. To do this q pitcher keeps
himself travelling at a swift pace
and he can't do himself justice. First.
because he doesn't stop to think Of
some little things that might help
him. and. second. because he keeps
himself keyed up TO a high pitch II
he relaxed q bit between each pitch
he probably would get tar better re-
suits.
Many a good pitcher has come into
the big leagues and then hurried
himself out again simply because he
couldn't learn to take IL easy. In q
way Harper's fault might be correct
ed by a catcher able to keep him in
check.
Has Lest Twelve Wow.
As for Harper being a child OF mis-
fortune, his record proves it. To
date he has won four games and
lost twelve, and this Is hardly .
good record for q southpaw who
probably is as good as there Is IN
the league.
In a measure. his support Is TO
blame because in many instances
Harper has been beaten in close bat
ties because his mates have failed
to get him any runs. A to o de-
OF this and q to o trimming by De-
troit was another.
At Cleveland recently. he was
beaten because Of errors. Possibly It
IL luck such as this that worries
him and makes him an impetuous
gent on the mound.
May Lose HIS stuff.
Anyway, Harper Is too good hurl-
er to let go along losing game after
game. II his misfortunes keep up
for q long period he will grow so
disgraced he win actually lose his
stuff. He Is a young gent, not too
old to be taught q few things.
II Griff doesn't want TO play tutor
to the southpaw, we know Of at least
one club that will pay q newspaper
mans fortune to acquire his services
We refer to the White Sox. and they
will take Harry with all his short
comings. his record Of four wins and
a dozen losses for the year notwith-
standing.
Before yesterdays game Grih
boosted that despite Harper's hard
luck, he would give the White Sox q
trimming. After the game GriR lin

SOUTHERN OPINION is AGAINST
WILSON

Washington, Aug. .21-In order to
determine southern opinion with re-
gard to the nomination of President
Wilson for a third term the Nash
vile Tenneseean, a democratic news
paper, addressed series of questions
to leading newspapers in the south.
Only 20 per cent of the newspapers
express the belief that the president
should be renominated, so per cent
are fatty against it, 5 per cent doubt
full, 10 per cent give no expression on
the subject and per cent say it is de-
pendent on the senate's action.
Sixty per cent of the newspapers
which were interrogated, however,
believe Mr.. Wilson could be renomi-
mated if he became a candidate.
AS to the question whether the
president could be reelected if nomi-
mated only 30 per cent of the southern
newspapers who were questioned by
the Tennesseean believe his reelection
possible.
AS to who is the most eligible can
didate for the democrats in the event
of the elimination of Mr.. Wilson there
is much division.

PRESIDENT HAS POWER
TO INCREASE WAGES
But Passes Buck to Congress in Ask
ing for Authority Which Was
Given During War

Washington, August 21-That Pres
ident Wilson has had the power all
along to raise or decrease the wages
of the railroad men of the country
and has not only failed in his duty
to exercise that power, but has turned
the problem over to congress, is the
charge made by Senator Albert b.
Cummins, of Iowa, chairman of the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce.
1--WE have not taken from the Pres
ident the power to initiate rates, -
said the senator. eve have not taken
from him any power whatsoever 1t
is true that the senate passed the bill
a month ago restoring to the inter-
state commerce commission the au-
thority to suspend rates which might
be initiated by the president, or the
director general, just as before the
war it might have suspended rates
which were initiated by the railway
companies. But that bill has not be-
come a law. 1t has been INSTRUCTED
in the house of representatives by the
railroad administration itself SO
that the authority as well as the duty
of initiative rates which may be neces-
sary to meet the demands for in
creased wages at the present time
rests with the director general.
81 am not discussing the futile at
tempts that have been made to de-
crease the cost of living. While |
think that many things might be done
that would have some effect upon the
cost of living, we shall have to de-
pend mainly upon the natural devel-
opment of commerce and business
and resume the relations that we had
before the war. We must bear the
consequences of the war. They will
not be borne merely by paying their
expenses"
az confess" interjected Senator
Pomerene, of Ohio, democrat, that
there was desire to pass the respon-
sibility. l do not know of any one
who is in better position to know
whether wages ought or ought not to
be raised than the director general.
I think if l were director general of
railroads | would have the courage to
say either that there ought to be or
ought not to be an increase of wages,
or / would resign"
"All I have to say" said Senator
Cummins, -" is that the power resides
with the director general both to in
crease wages and to increase rates,
and, as the law now is, the rates can
be made effective at any time de-
termined by the director general,
The president asks new board for
the fixing of railway wages. | do not
think it is fair or just that the i'm
preston should go to the country that
the administration is powerless to
deal with the situation unless con-
gress acts when the opposite is the
case.''
