If anyone, for examples, Sec
ond Baseman Collins Of the White
Sox. should ask the writer if he
ever won any doublaheaders, why,
it would be a FOOLS questioning,
for it was the foremost thing
this author did was to win games,
except certain ones which was
lost but it. was never the writer's
fault, but in field that was full
of holes.
Dauss Laughs at Age.
'THE other day while in De-
troit, as a guest of Mr.. Cobb,
- the writer had occasion to
speak to George Dauss, who
started pitching when George
Westinghouse wife, Martha, was
wearing her hairs in braid. We
had hearty laughs about good
ballplayers getting ola, referring
mainly to ourself, and he said:
"Why, Nick, / can yet still
pitch them babies or their heads
and give them all lumbago from
swinging out there in the cold
If you remember, friends, Dauss
went out there recently, before
the biggest crowd that ever come
to Detroit's park, and give Ruth
and my other friends from that
cocky New York, only five hits
and won his sixth straight game
of the present current season.
And he put Ruth back in another
hitting laps.
The Big Four.
VIZ ITH ourself, Dauss, Jess
wv Willard and Edison going
w so strong, what is the
answer? mail your reply to the
dead letter office. It must mean
that now that the automobile has
supplanted the horse, that us old
strong boys was given muscle and
brains, or vice versus. If Dauss
gets into the world series. as
predicted by Cobb in an exclusive
interview with the writer recently,
you can bet he will pitch good
ball.
Dauss has changed his style
from a side arm to an overland.
That is the only critics schism !
have of him. Personally, the old
styles are good enough for the
writer, except in .women's cloth
ing when they wore hoop skirts,
and as to the writer's pitching,
he never was underhanded about
it nor nothing else until prohibi-
| ton come.

70 PER CENT OF.
PHONE MONEY
PAIDIN WAGES

Approximately 20 percent OF the
operating revenues of the two big
telephone companies operating IN
North Dakota is paid to employees
within the state, according to find-
ings of the state railroad commits
sion in it's general investigation in
to the rates and charges OF the
Northwestern Bell and the North
Dakota Independent Telephone Com
pany, which rates it announced yes
terday we're not unreasonable.
"Studies have been made to deter
mine what percent of the total oper-
ating expense charged to the State
of North Dakota went to employees in
this state for wages" says the COM
missions decision. "As near as can
be ascertained approximately 10 per
cent of the total operating expenses,
not including taxes, go to employees
as wage payments. Economies have
been effected by closing small OK
changes and. connecting them to
nearby large exchanges, this mater
tally reducing expenses. Changes in
organization, effective April l, 1923,
have been made, which are designed
to reduce expenses and yet preserve
efficient service. With the telephone
company on the alert to practice
economy, and with improved condi-
tions over those of 1922, we are of
the opinion that the toll and ex-
change rates now in effect will yield
sufficient revenue to provide for
the necessary operating expenses, de-
probation and reasonable return
upon the fair value of the property
as found in this report and opinion"
Most Of the telephone service in the
larger cities Of. the state is supplied
by the North Dakota Independent Tel
ephone Company, with IS or more ex-
changes and the Northwestern Bell
Company with 90 or more.
