"It is rather close fit at second base between Lajoie and Eddie Col lins. But l. am handing it to the Frenchman. He was a more terrific hitter than Collins and therefore more dangerous when confronting pitchers. There was nothing hashy about him, but when he was at his best, nothing that hit within 50 feet of him ever got into the outheld He was so graceful in his every movement that again and again through the years he made miracle plays look simple.
 "It is useless to talk about any other shortstop after you have named Wagner.
 My all-star outheld embraces Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker and Fred Clark of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cobb has been a super ball player for more than IS years. He has been the games greatest hitter, he has been one of it's most remarkable base run ners, one of it's most daring athletes He has helded his position superbly and even though his throwing arm men ever were better in getting the ball back to the plate when it was needed.
 Speaker is the greatest fielding outhelder I have ever seen. There is nobody else like him today and there was no one like him in the past. On his fielding prowess alone Speaker would have to be considered as a member of an all-star team. But when one remembers that through a dozen years he has been one of the leading hitters it means that Speaker richly deserves the right to be placed on team of truly greats.
 "It may surprise some people for me to pick Clark and to pass by all the other fielding wonders But Clark was good hitter, great fielder and not merely brainy but an inspiring player It is because of the latter that I give the honor to Fred. His presence on a team meant the installation of never say die" fighting spirit. It kept the the team fighting every minute of the way. If Clark had hit 30 points below his record and had felded IS points less than he did, I think I still would have named him for the all-star outfeld
 There was never a catcher like Buck Ewing. Like Wagner, he had every thing every rival ever had-and little something else. Ewing had no vital weakness and his whole play savored of strength and brilliance. He IS the only member of my all-star group who passed out something like 20 years or more ago.
 Now for the pitchers
 q have looked them all over-Math- ewson, Waddell, Bender, Plank, Brown, Radbourne, Rusie, Alexander, Breiten- stein, Clarkson, Coombs, Dinneer, Foultz, Young, Hart, Griffith, Overall, Keefe- and thousand more and my choice is Walter Johnson.
 "I don't think Rusie had more speed than Johnson at his best. I know no man with control more perfect than Johnson's. If there ever was a smarter pitcher than Walter Johnson, can't re-

 If patronage was property, busl- ness concern could sell some of its customers to another business con Cern and the customers would be compelled to deal exclusively with the firm to whom their patronage had been sold.
 What is business?
 That which occupies the time, at tention and labor of men for the pur- pose of livelihood or profit; that and labor of men for the purpose of profit and improvement"
 (American and English Encyclope- dia of Law.) That which busies, or that which occupies the time, attention or labor of one, as his principal concern whether for a longer or shorter time"
 (Webster's Dictionary)
 What IS labor?
 Physical or mental effort particu- larly for some useful or desired end Exertion of the powers for some end other than recreation or sport"
 Century Dictionary)
 Physical or mental exertion, par ticular1y for some useful or desired end; toll, work. That which requires eexrtion or effort; task"
 (Standard Dictionary)
 From these definitions it is evi- dent that there is a basic difference between what constitutes property and constitutes business, while there is practically no difference between what constitutes business and con- stitutes labor.
 If business is property then labor is equally so; and if the income profit or earning power of business should be protected through the is- suing of injunctions, then the earn ing power of labor should be equally protected. and the wage earne1 granted injunctions against reduc- tions in wages, discharge, or any oth- CT act of the employer which would interfere or injure his income or his welfare as a worker.
 If business and labor are the same as property, the Constitution of the United States must be rewritten, per sonal liberty must be abolished, and discretionary government by judicial

 (English and American Encyclope- dia of Law) Property is the exclusive right of possession, enjoying and disposing ot a thing"
 Century Dictionary)
 "A right imparting to the owner a power of indefinite user capable of being transmitted to universal sue cessors by way of dissent imparting to the owner the power of disposition from himself and his successors"
 Austin Jurisprudence,)
 The result and despotic dominion which one claims and exercises over the external things of the world in total exclusion of the right of any other individual in the world
 (Blackstone.)
 These definitions make 1t emphati- cally clear that the employer cannot have a property right in the services of employees. He cannot hold that form of ownership, for if he possessed this right he could dispose of labor by selling the workman's labor pow CT to someone else.
 He would have the right of holding the wage earner's services and re- taining them indefinitely to the, ex- clusion of the right of any other individual in the world He would have the power of transmitting this ownership or property right to his successors, or of giving it as an in heritance to his heirs.
 The definitions submitted make it clear that property is either a pro- duct of nature, or the results ac- complished by labor, and that under no stretch of the imagination can the wage earner or his services be con strued as property.
 Labor and the capacity to labor is inseparable from life. It grows or diminishes with health or sick ness: it ceases with a death. The power and capacity of the wage earner to labor cannot be the prop erty of another unless the employer has a property right in the wage

"conscience" established in place of government by law.
 What has taken place in America has been a steady invasion by equity courts of the legislative and admins trative departments of the govern ment, equity courts in more than one instance having issued decrees which, in their substance and effect, were in tended to supersede the constitution and create laws by the exercise of the judges "conscience" instead of through the legislative department of the government
 Their labored effort to develop the theory that somehow, in some tech nical manner not clearly defined, business and labor were property, is one of the evidences of their disre- gard for human rights.
 The theory that one man can have a property right in the patronage of another is as absurd as would be the proposition that one man could have a property right in the friendship of another. Equally absurd and illogi- cal is the theory that one man can have a property right in the services or labor of another; an employe is either a slave or a free man, he can not be part free and part slave To advance the theory that an employer has a property right in labor is to endeavor to prove that because free man is also a wage earner, a portion of him (though this could not be separated from his body) is the prop erty of another, who can dispose of it as he would of anything else which is property.

VETERAN PICKS BEST BALL PLAYERS
 SINCE GAME BEGAN

Bill Murray, who became a big leaguer back in 1882 or 1883, was halted and the question fired at him, "What men, in your opinion, consti- tute the greatest ball players of all time?" "Why ask me-why don't you name them yourself?" was Mur- rays retort For the greatest stars in their respective positions-with one exception-have played the game in the last 10 or 15 years. Four of them are playing today"
 "When the boys talk about $1oo,- GOO inhelds, 1 wonder how they would value a quartet which included Sisler, Lajoie, Wagner and Jimmy Collins in their prime?
 That infeld, in my mind, stands out peerless. There may have been a few men who have felded better at first base than Sisler, but no man who felded so we'll as Sisler could, at the same time, run the bases with his speed, who could think like Sisler and who could bat with his amazing pow CT.

Montgomery, Ward x Company, of Chicago, applied for an injunction 1n the Federal court of South Dakota which would restrain the Retail Deal CTS Association from maintaining a boycott against manufacturers and iobbers who sold to catalogue houses.
 In refusing to issue such an injunc- ton, Judge Garland said in part:
 "The facts in evidence on this hear ing show that the retail dealers had agreed among themselves that they will not purchase merchandise from wholesalers and Jobbers who sell to catalogue or mail order houses; that they have corresponded with Jobbers and wholesalers stating that they were opposed to wholesalers and job bers selling to catalogue or mail or der houses and have requested the former not to sell to the latter, That the retail dealers have lawful right to agree among themselves that they will not purchase merchandise from wholesaler and jobbers who sell to catalogue and mail order houses, cannot be denied, and 1t necessarily follows that they have the right to inform each other as to what wholesalers and jobbers do sell to catalogue and mail order houses"
 Another judicial definition of the distinction between property and business is supplied by Judge Cald- we'll of the U. S. Circuit court i'll the case of Hopkins vs. Oxley Stove Company In part he said:
 "The 'irreparable damage suffered in business by a vanquished competi- tor at the hands of his successful rival constitutes no cause of action, either at law or in equity. It is the result of the law of competition, to which all men are subject. They take their chances and must abide the result, whether it brings fortune or failure"
 Let us examine the authorities and legal definitions of what constitutes property.
 "Property means the dominion of indefinite right of user and disposi- ton which one lawfully exercises over particular things or subjects, and gen. orally to the exclusion of all others. Property is ownership and the exclu-

call it He is a player with sublime courage and with a heart as big as the Grand Canyon.
 But beyond that he sizes up as one of the most valuable men to ball team that l ever knew. Through practically all the years of his greatness he was with a tailender. He got little batting support back of him and again and again games were thrown away by poor fielding. But never once did Johnson complain. It made no difference to him whether his team was absolutely in last place and the season had only few days to go. Every time he has gone onto thes mound he has pitched with everything within him; fought for vic tory with the same spirit that men show in world series combats. He has gone through every year of his big league life giving everything he had for his ball club.
 Johnson, after all is said and done, is the wonder pitcher of all time. If he ever had been blessed through his best years with a championship team, he would have established pitching records which perhaps never would be approach ed through all the years to come"

The governmental agency dealing
with veteran relief work, the United
States Veterans Bureau, is now
manned almost entirely by ex-service
men. This situation has been long
contemplated by the government and
has been advocated by all the vet
eran organizations.
The veterans have contended that
their problems would receive more
sympathetic consideration by one
who had been in the service. They
felt that one who was familiar with
the conditions existing during the
war would be acquainted with the
service procedure and therefore bet.
ter able to render a fair decision in
their case.
President Harding took this into
consideration when he appointed an
officer who had seen service over
seas, Col. Charles r. Forbes, to be
