Giant Third-sacker
Has Never Broken a
Bat in Major Career

In all his major league career,
Heinie Groh. third-baseman Of the
New York Giants, has never broken
a bat, and Heinie is no rosy-cheek-
cd recruit by any means.
Few players can claim this
unique record.
In Groh's case, il is remarkable
in that Heinie uses bat of a pc
culiar shape in n peculiar way.
His bottle bats" look badly bal
anccd, with thin handle and long
thick upper end-a type one might
expect to crack easily-but Gtoh
crashes some mighty blows with
them and he says he has never
broken a bat yet.

Iowa City. Iowa. March f7.-From

PUBLIC FORGED
TOPAY ROADS
DIVIDENDS
!. 6. G. Commissioner Eastman
Says Travellers and Shippers
HIT by Valuation Scheme.
BY JOHN +. LAMBERT,
CasnopoIltan Newa servlce.

How the man who rides on the
train and the merchant who ships
his freight may be compelled to
pay dividends to the railroads on
millions of dollars Of valuable land
which they gave to the roads years
ago @ revealed by Interstate Com
merce Commissions Joseph b. East
man IN his slashing attack upon the
new railroad valuation scheme.
Nearly every railroad in the
country has been given valuable
land BY towns, cities, states Or the
national government. Some Of the
great trunk lines were built almost
entirely on land given them BY the
public. Some of them have sold or
held the land for real estate specuia-
ton, never having laid q tie upon II.
Valuable Handouts.
The Great Northern got valuable
ore lands. The Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific received vast
tracts. The state OF Illinois gave
the Illinois Central region which
had been given II by the national
government and the Illinois Central
then sold the land for enough cash
to build it, road.
Under the new scheme Of valua-
ton proposed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, all the
roads can charge the car riders
higher fares 10 pay dividends not
only on the yaiue Of the land, when
the public first gave It but on the
present value Of the land, which has
been increased enormously In most
cases by public improvements or BY
the Developments made by the
adjoining land owners.
Protesting against such q scheme,
Eastman said In his trong minority
decision:
II find ii difficult to believe that
such public aid would ever have
been granted IL II had been known.
Or even suspected, that at some
future date the country would be
required TO pay q return not only
upon the market value Of the prop
erty at the time when 1t was
donated but upon q continually en-
HANGING value In the process OF
time.
ri is not : sufficient answer 70
say this donated property is owned
by the company. II was donated
for public use and that the cost Of
performing q public function, IN
lieu OF the State, might be less than
| II otherwise would be.
Public Should Benefit.
1T seems to me that to do what
II just and right and to be fair to
the public, the property which was
donated for railroad purposes and
which % still held and used for
such purposes should be treated for
alternating purposes as an invest
ment by the public rather than by
the owners of the railroad.
Obviously, when property is
donated to 4 railroad company 1t
must be for one OF two reasons:
Either II Is feared that the railroad
will be unable to earn q return
upon the cost Of the property II
It il purchased at the market
value, and hence viii not be con-
structed unless the property is
donated: or 1t 10 expected the public
win gain an advantage IN rates
through the lessened cost Of the
railroad"
It has been estimated that the
new valuation theory laid down by
the commission might enable the
railroads to take an additional STAT.
OOO, 900 In profits every year out Of
the pockets Of the passengers and
shippers.

YANK STADIUM BUILT
TOORDER FOR BABES
HOME-RUN INDULGENCE
Arrangement Suits Batters
Who Put Ball Into Right
Field Depths.

New York, Jan. 31.-Baseball men
boast of their proves as prophets went
on record today, after looking over the
new Yankee stadium carefully, as pre-
dieting that the National League would
have hard time equalling the Ameri-
can in home runs so far as New York
City is concerned. The new grolfnd is
made to order for the American League
batters who pull to right field.
Ruth will have no trouble counting
up the circuit swats il the pitchers place
the ball where he can swing on it and
his heroic bludgeon will ache to get to
work as quickly as possible for if ever
a ball park was built with the specifi-
cations conforming to the Ruth plan of
architecture, it is the new field in the
Bronx.
The wind may aid in making home
runs on the new field. At the Polo
Grounds. Coogan's Bluff makes a per-
feet wind-break against gales from the
west that might lift the ball toward the
outfield fences. A wind from the
northwest, however. might propel the
ball a trifle. At the. Sank park the
west wind will be broken only by the
structure of the stands. These stands
will shelter the ball when the wind is
directly in the west, but if it blows
from the northwest it will sweep across
the field with all six cylinders hitting
to help sail the ball to the stands.
East winds, it is expected, will have
about the same effect on the two fields.
The Yankees have unquestionably
