Wheat was greatly surprised when he learned that some of his fel- low players were to be questioned by district attorney Lewis with reference to the reports.
 Asserting that there was absolutely no truth in the rumors, Wheat continued
 No one has ever approached me and it would not be well for anay that had. II am slure that none of the other play ers have been approached. any per sons have doubts about the game we will play, they had better come out and see us perform. 10 rhap5 we will be beaten in the series, but we will play the best game that we can. Even the hint that there is anything wrong is not going to affect the fielding of the men. We have always played clear ball and were in there fighting up to the fnish."s

TRoLLEYs TO ASK 10 CENT FARE
 THROUGHOUT. THE STATE

New Haven, Conn. Sept 29.-Lucius S. Storrs, president of the Connecticut company. tonight confirmed reports that the trolley company will ask for a 10 cent fare throughout the state at the hearing scheduled for Friday Abefore the public utilities commission In Hartford The present rate of fare is seven cents and the cofnmissoA, in granting the ap- plication for the seven cent fare recently, set Oct. l as the date for a continuation of the hearing.
 MT. Storrs issued a statement, in which he said
 At the time the public utilities com mission authorized the fares now being charged. it directed the Connecticut com pany to make application for rate of fare for travel within the old fare limits. Tt is believed that a return to the old l limits with all transfer privileges in the cities and the same flexible limits in the country will be pleasing to the riding
 public. With payrolls and all materials | costing more than twice that what they
 did when five cents was charged, it will | be necessary to obtain 10 cents for this
 service and our application, therefore will be for 10 cent rate of fare. It is also believed that doing away with the | inconvenience of making change will ap- peal to our patrons.
 In an interview later Mir Storrs dis
 cussed some of the financial problems of | the Connecticut company. He said the company owes large amounts in taxes and I and also owes s1,SO6,000 10 the federal
 government The company needs credit
 and cannot get it without being able to
 mak statement showing earning power MT. Storrs added. He said the company must borrow between $500, 900 and s1, ,250, : 000 a year to enable it to buy equipment
 and keep the system in state of eff
 ciency. Wages of the Connecticut com
 pany are 97 per cent. higher than in 1916 1 he continued, and raintenance costs have
 risen 113 per cent. in four years. He said the situation in Bridgeport recently
 showed that a city cannot get along
 without permanent trolley system.
