Champion Eastman, National League Ability to hit is a gift Of nature. A
 majority Of the leading batsmen in the history of the game have been natural hitters.
 Few players become great hittors with a made-oNer style. Fly that mean an entire change of position at the plate from the one that was natural for inc player to assume.
 often battors have profited greatly by rcmedying a certain fault in their style. Such batters, however, are rarely eIasscd as great in the art Of hitting.
 Ty Cobb bats just tho same today as when he broke into the American league. Hans Wagner never tried 10 polish his rather awkward style. Both Cobb and Wagner must be listed as natural batsmen of great ability
 The selection Of bat that suits your grip and is properly weighted is as necessary to good hitting as the natural swing, natures gift.
 Get A bat that you can grip easily and swing without any great effort. Too many batters make the mistake of using too heavy bat in the hope that the added weight win get more distance to their drives.
 step straight Into tho Pitch
 Step straight into inc pitch, so on through with your swing when you arc ready 10 meet the pitch. Try never to pull away from the plate. In so doing you force the arms 10 do the work and lose the power Of the fol- ow-through that comes from the body motion.
 Because home-run hitting is popular fad at present. do not ieopar- dize your batting form by trying to get extra distance to your drives.
 Accuracy at the plate gets far bet tor results in the long run than talk ing wild swing at every pitch. Make ne pitcher get them over. Try to get him into hole and when you do, never fail to pick on the cripple. That Is one Of the things that makes 3 ErtaI hitter. getting a working mar gin un inc pitcher and taking ad- s0ntage Of fl.
 Do not neglect your batting prac- lice aud do not go about it in q care oss fashion. Have an objective at inc bat, try 10 place your drives. IL helps ! Inc 'yc and the swing, develops CO., 1 Jr lination
 Tn oattiHs practice I make fl a point ! o try to so meet the ball that it goes directly back at the pitcher. I have , always iieLtfd that driving the ball | lircctiy through the box over sccouI . ta7n. called for perfect timing fron : very anL1t Of batting.
 Must study Various Pitching styles
 There afc various types of pitch- ! ITS. Ii is up to the batsman tn study . he style that is before him in each .at5c.

SEPARATE TRIALS
 DENIED A RIOTERS
Pennsylvania Pastor Challenged
 As Juryman

EBENSBURG, Pa, June 9.-(By Associated Press. "A defense motion for separate trials for forty-four men on a riot indictment which grew out of the fight between visiting Ku Klux Klansmen and residents of Lilly, Pa. April ,, were denied by Judge Thomas B. Finletter in court here today
 Percy Allen Roe, representing 49 of the defendants who are alleged to be members of the klan, and Phillip Shettig of councel for 15 Lilly men, joined in the motion for separate trials.
 Attorney Rose said Tt is the theory of the commonwealth that the offense alleged were the result of an alterca- tion between some of the defendants who are alleged to be members of the Ku Klux Klan and others of the de- fendants who adhere to the Catholic faith"
 The Rev. A. D. Graham, pastor of the Hatton Methodist Episcopal church, was challenged for cause by the district attorney after he said he could not render a fair verdict because of his utilization with certain organization.
 District Attorney Weimer, in ques- tioning prospective jurors, asked if they held membership in any Organiza- i tion represented here in this court room?' and if they had been approach ed by any person interested in the cases.

EXPRESS RATES
 ORDERED CUT
 IN. ALL ZONES
Interstate Commerce Commission Acts To
 Level Sectional Tariff

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Express rates troughout the country were order ed readjusted today by the interstate commerce commission which authorized general increase in the western zone approximating eight per cent and slight reductions in the east and the south.
 The decison was the result of a gen eral investigation by the commission in which representatives of state railroad commissions participated. Wide differ ences in rates between the southern, middle western, Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast zones were ordered brought more nearly to a common level.
 The basic rate for the first 50 miles haulage in eastern trunk line territory is now approximately 15 per cent. In creases have brought it to 24 cents. Under the readjustment the rate would approximately be 26 cents. The south ern basic rate of 20 cents which was horizontally increased to 30 cents, would be decreased to approximately 2S cents.
 In the Prairies states the basic rate of 24 cents, which was horizontally in- creased to 35 cents, would be readjust- ed to about 31 cents. The mountain territory basic rate of 2S cents, in- creased to 38 cents since 1918, would be brought down to approximately 31 cents.
 The west coast rate of 24 cents, hori- zontally increased since 1918 to B cents, would be reduced to 31 cents.
 The decision will be effective Janu- ary 1, 1925.

 T know this argument of expedienc, and cowardice will have no weight with the members of your delegation. Th9 republican party was organized in Wisconsin in 1854, by a handful ol patriotic citizens, then in a hopeless minority, who would make no com. promise with the extension of human slavery. You will recall, likewise, that while the platforms submitted by Wis consin have been scornfully rejected by republican national conventions since 1908, practically every important proposal submitted by the Wisconsin delegates up to 1916 has since been enacted into law. There are, indeed, only five of 31 blanks submitted by Wisconsin during this period which are not now embodied in the law of the land.

 had been lured into their rented auto mobile.
 In the nebulous world, half intel lectural, half neurotic, where Nathan Leopold, Jr, and Richard Loeb spent most of their days during the last year in company with other youths, all in- terested in abnormalities, investigators brought to light Monday new and startling evidence relating to the slay- ing of 13-year-old Robert Franks and to other crimes as we'll.
 By questioning more than 50 stu dents at the University of Chicago, de- tectives found 12 who knew the two confessed slayers of Franks intimately. Some of these were almost daily asso- ciates of the two youths, and their ramblings from normal paths of intel lectual interest into the strange and bizarre byways of an overstimulated curiosity about forms of sex perversion youths, all sons of millionaires, came almost unbelievable stories of what Leo pold and Loeb did during the times they were not in their class rooms at the University of Chicago.
 DuFCOn 10 De CaALou
 One result of the new evidence was a decision by States Attorney Robert E. Grove to call President Ernest Dewitt Burton and several other members of the faculty of the University of Chicago before the grand jury Tuesday. Others who will be asked to testify before the grand jury include: Dean James Hall of the law school, Acting Dean of Law Woodward, Dr. T. Neil Johnson, pro- lessor of law; Dr. Arthur Thompson, professor of history Prof. A. c. Me Laughlin and Dr. Ferdinand Schevill, professor of history.
 The decision to summon these pro- fessors, some of them high in the edu- cational life of the nation, was not be- cause.-the authorities believed they knew anything of the crimes of Loeb or Leo pold, Grove explained. They were asked to appear before the grand jury because of the astonishing information obtained from students, who associated with Loeb and Leopold, about the daily lives of the two alleged killers-lives that were surrounded with a perpetual atmos- phere of an unnatural interest in sex

COURTS DENIED
 RIGHT OF PROBE
 IN WALTON CASE
Supreme Body Upholds Authority Of Oklahoma
 Legislature

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Impeach- ment of former Gov. John C. Walton of Oklahoma by the legislature of that state is not subject to review by the courts, it was held today by the su- preme court.
 the validity of his impeachment on the ground that the charges brought against him were inspired by the ku Klux Klan and that large number of the mem- bers of the Oklahoma senate who sat in judgment upon him were members of that organization.
 The question reached the supreme court on appeal from the federal dis trict court for western Oklahoma which refused to take Jurisdiction, holding that the question presented was politi- cal and not judicial.
 The court dismissed for want of Jurisdiction case brought by the Grand International Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers to have determined whether under the laws of Alabama it was liable for damages for the expul- sion of J. W. Green from membership.
 Oklahoma's protest against the ac- ceptance of the report of the commis- sion appointed to locate the boundary between that state and Texas along the Red river was rejected and set aside.
 Commission Order Approved
 The order of the interstate commerce commission regulating the distribution of cars among soft coal mines located on two or more railroads was approved.
 The court announced that it would review the decision of the lower courts in cases presenting the following ques- tions:
 Whether Charles Sherwin and Harry H. Schwarz earned immunity from prosecution by furnishing a rep resentative of the federal trade com mission with certain papers in connec- tion with investigation of their alleged violation of the laws through the sale of stock in oil companies in Texas.
