If the Chicks go through the pres
ent season with as much zip as was
, exhibited yesterday afternoon during
the first workouts, the boys around
: tAe circuit will be wondering what
nell has been turned loose.
There were couple of complete
sets Of infielders with a few extras
and every man was working like it
was his last chance to make good
with crew that had a cinch on
the big money of the Worlds Series.
AT. first there were Cleland, Berry
and Showers, at second. Red Rey-
nolds and Stoloz, at third, Smith and
White and at short, Dwyer, Dobbins
and Anderson.
The way every man went after 1t,
caused a smile of satisfaction to
spread over the maps of President
McGaha and Manager Pettigrew and
at the same time there is evidence
that much worry is forthcoming on
the part of the chief who must needs
cut this crew to the prescribed num-
ber There's not a chance to give a
slant on probabilities at this time.
They all look good as a granery full
of two dollar wheat and they've got
the pepper market cornered.
Manager Pettigrew didn't hit the
garden yesterday, preferring to view
the tryouts from the bench the first
day. In the field yesterday were

LAST CHANCE TO

Those who have not yet seen the
performance of "Dr. JekyIl and Mr..
Hyde" at the Augusta Opera house
will surely want to be on hand at
either the matinee or evening per-
Torrance today, for these will be the
last presentations of this immortal
production. The manner in which
this drama has been given is not only
a credit to the members of the Lut-
tringer Stock Co. but also to the city
(which is fortunate in having a thea
trical organization that can do work
of this kind.
All Augusta has been talking Of
the excellent characterization give
by John B. Whiteman of the dual
role of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde.
This is the biggest opportunity Mr..
Whiteman has had to show his

character requires an artist of more
than ordinary ability and yet some
have overdone it. Mr.. Whitemao.

costs Of actual operation" says the
commission In its report.
These companies are very gen.
orally managed by some one of the
users banded together for the COM
mon purpose Of rendering telephone
service without any thought of ac-
tual profit, and this manager is very
likely not to be highly trained in
business matters, particularly the
business Of operating and keeping up
to standard telephone plant. More
often than otherwise it is believed by
these managers and their assistants
that If the revenue collected during
each year is equal to or slightly in
excess Of the amount actually paid
out. the net result is satisfactory.
mo thought Of depreciation APP
parently enters the minds of many OF
the managers Of these very small
companies. and depreciation cannot
be ignored. Poles and other equip
ment will wear out and will some
time have to be replaced. Many of
these companies keep on attempting
to render service with plant and
facilities incapable Of giving even
fair service, and the attempt seems
to be necessary for the reason that
the company seems to know Of no

just referred We shall try to make
arrangements to have such a man
out among telephone companies and
telephone subscribers during the year
1920.
Under federal control some OF the
practices and some of the rates OF
many of the companies were radi-
caliy changed. A considerable in
crease in toll rates was inaugura.ed,
the 20 called service connection and
moving charges were required to be
made by all companies under zen
eral control and the increased cost OF
operation common to all businesses
obtained among the telephone COM
panies. Some of the smaller COM
panies have increased their rates,
others are attempting to go along on
the old rates. 1t will be our duty,
and one which we shall attempt to
perform this year, to make full and
careful investigation with reference
to all matters connected with tele-
phone service and rates throughout
the State.
I'VE suggest to telephone users
generally that they write to or cali
upon the commission and give us in
formation with reference to any COM
plant concerning the service they
are receiving. It Is only through In
formation so received that we can
,,:,.ain the evidence upon which to
act in an effort to relieve a wrong
condition.

treatment accorded the subscribers

Of complaints have come to the COM
mission during the past year in
which our attention has been called
to the impertinence and inattention

the complaints in the past few
months that the commission has
asked one Of its members and its
chief Of rates and schedules to make
careful and full investigation of the
entire situation in the State.
This investigation and study has
been going on for the past two
months, and will be continued this
year. 1t is our desire to be able to
employ man of practical telephone
