The pitcher stood upon the mound
And rubbed the horsehide sphere;
His mind was full of confidence,
His heart devoid Of fear.
You see he was a bush recruit,
Just signed the day before,
And actually did not know
What old Fate had In store.
Then Eddie Collins came to bat
And hit a measly pop;
Buck Weaver rolled n down toward
first,
An easy one to stop.
Then jackson waited patiently
And got a pass to first;
While Felsch thrice smote the atmos-
phere
And ~sibilantly cursed.
The pitcher ambled to the bench
And to the catcher spoke:
"Who were them guys just up to bat?
BY gosh, they was a joke!'
The smart old catcher simply said:
why, they was just four guys
But thought-"Where ignorance is
bliss,
It's nutty to be wise"
Probably, II this yersified bit of
frenzy happened to be true narrative
of some actual event, u young hero
from the bushes wouldn't be SO easy
in his mind.
And not being so easy in his mind
and fearful of the outcome he would
have put one across the heart OF the
pan, waist high. and n of those four
athletes would have broken up his
ball game right there.

COMMISSION ISSUES FIRST ORDER AIMED
 AT FREIGHT P|LE-UP
[RepubIIean A. ?. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, May 2O-In its first general order directed at the freight jam, the interstate commerce commis- sion late today instructed all railroads to forward traffic without regard to previous routing and at the same time, abrogated all railroad rules governing car service.
 Rates applying on shipments which are re-routed were nullified and charges over the route shipments FfinaIly are sent were made the same. Operating officials of all lines also were instructed to disregard contracts, agree ments and arrangements in carrying out the commissions orders, the first to be issued under wide powers vested in it by the new transportation act. Specific provision is made for the daily movement of solid trains of empty cars, coal cars to be sent east ward and box cars for grain loading westward. This latter order affects virtually every road and was designed to aid in breaking the blockade at gateways and terminals and to avoid the shutting down of scores of manu- featuring plants.
 The program outlined in general orders has as it's secondary aim the return of cars 10 their home roads. By this, it was hoped that many lines might be able, by virtue of regaining use of their own equipment, to ale viate local tieups.
 The commission put into effect today the suggestions of the railway execu- tives relative to the exchange of equip ment eastward and westward begin ming May g. Orders were issued to various roads for an eastward move ment of approximately 32,000 coal cars which is expected to be completed in 20 days Similarly a, westward move ment of box cars was ordered which will transfer 10000 cars to the grain producing sections of the middle west in 30 days. In discussing the general traffic situation, the commission ex- plained that there were two primary causes for the jam; shortage of equip- ment and ''unfavorable labor condi- tions,'' upon all lines.
 While the orders issued today were made effective only 'so long as the | emergency exists" railroad executives who have been cooperating with the l commission in it's efforts to break the blockade, declared they expected them to remain iE effect for some weeks

PRICE REDUCTION
 MOVEMENT GOES ON;
 WILL HELP CREDIT
TRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO. May 20.-While the con tinued spread of the price cutting wave was noted in central and far western states today. Chicago bankers ex- pressed satisfaction with the financial situation, one man declaring that the liquidation of stocks by merchants would greatly aid in bringing credit back to normal.
 The price lowering movement. while not general in Chicago, was aided to- day by action of stores in Ottumwa, Iowa, and another San Francisco es- tablishment, in announcing cuts of from 20 to 50 per cent.
 According to a survey taken by the Cleveland Manufacturers association of the Cleveland garment industry, prices Of womens s wearing apparel will go no higher unless, it was stated labor and material costs are advanced
 George N. Reynolds, Chicago finan- cier, who returned today after a con- ference of bankers at Washington, in speaking of the money situation. de- clared that the over extension of credit was not due to speculation, but to the general condition of prices coupled with an unusual business activity" He ad- vised the borrowing public to cooper ate with the banks, adding that if everybody will reduce his loans by six per cent, cut down his surplus stock by that amount, there will be money enough to move the crops and neces- sities''

Anti-P Profiteering Campaign To Go On, Says Garvan- Wave of Price Reductions Gratifying; Believes Peak Of High Prices Past
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 2G-Regardless of the spreading wave of price reduc- tions, Assistant Attorney General Gar van announced tonight that the govern ment's efforts at hunting down profi- teering merchants through investiga- ton of profits made by individual stores had been extended to more than score of cities. Tactics employed by the flying squadron" of the department of justice in New York were being em- ployed, he said, in the larger cities from coast to coast.
 While MT. Garvan declared he was gratified at the price drop reported in nearly every community and did not believe the department deserved too much of the credit" he would not en- dorse claims of some merchants that they were actuated by patriotic motives.
 That stuff is the purest buncombe," !" Mir Garvan said. If they are patriotic now where was their patriotism a year ago when prices were going up and up and-incidentally those fellows were making more and more money?
 Three Reasons for Reductions
 sThere are three things responsible for this clamor of merchants to get The women of the country have stopped buying articles at exorlNtant prices; the market has broken, something which could not be avoided. and lot of people saw indictments for profiteer- ing coming. I say that few, if any, of the merchants were sure that the de- partments agents were not at the moment gathering evidence in their stores.
 They simply saw the light
 MT. Garvan said the women and the press of the country had formed a Iaf ina q hrca hH f1f the profiteer and believed they had succeeded. While the downward trend may not continue as rapidly as it now appears. MT. GarVan said he believed the peak had been passed and that ca general recession had set in which might go a long way toward re-estab- fishing a normal condition"
 But. he explained, normal" must not be construed to mean pre-war price levels
