Railroad:Lines an
Object OftPity,

*EfYears lago the railroads had the
country pretty we'll in their grip. In
many states the rail lines controlled
Enough Of the legislature so they got
What legislation they wanted. The
roads charged about what they pleased
for freight and passenger fares. "All
the traffic will bear" was the old
rule of the roads. A good traffic man
ager knew just how far to push the
screws without causing break. He
enjoyed a large salary.
Later still came regulating bodies,
state and national. Many states ar
bitrarily and without consulting the
roads at all, passed two cent fare laws.
The roads had to comply if they ex-
pected to stay in business at all.
Travel became the cheapest it had
ever been or probably ever will be.
Then the war came along and rate
fixing was taken out of the hands of
the states and made a national affair.
The various interstate commerce bod
les, deprived of their power to regu-
late common carriers, turned them
selves into utility commissions. We
3lFsve them with us still but they have
nothing to say about rail rates.
--And in the meantime the various
states apd the federal government
were buhdipgv,up immense. highway
systems. ATong with these systems of
good roads came an immensely in
creased use Of the motor vehicle. On

The Secret of Success.

The Herald has printed the follow
ing before but the truth is so appar-
ent that we will print it again and IN
course of time, again and again.
That great railroad builder, James j.
Hill. once when asked the secret OF
success, replied. ''The ability to save
money is the secret of all success. Ii
YOU can save, you will succeed, if not
you might as well give up now, the
seed of success is not in you"
Why elaborate on that recipe. one
old man put it this way: Work ike
the devil and don't spend cent.

LUIS FIRP0
ENIGMA OF
PRIZE RING
Violating Orthodox Methods

Battled Way Through
WAVES OF CRITICISM

New York, Sept. 6-Luis Angel
Firpo, who meets Harry Wills at
Boyle's Thirty Acres September II,
remains the enigma of the prize
ring although he is veteran of 80
battles during the five years of his
career.
When the giant Argentine enters
the ring to fight Wills for the right

heavyweight championship Of the
world, his course of action will be

His chances of victory will rest up
on the use he makes Of tremen-

ROBINS
BOTH VICT0RS
New York Team Takes
Double Header From
\ Philadelphia

Chicago, Sept. 6.-The New York
Giants kept ahead of the fast-going
Brooklyn Robins by taking two
games from Philadelphia yesterday,
while the Robins were taking their
14th straight victory from Boston.
Home runs marked the New York
Phillies contest. Four circuit drives,
three of them in one inning, were
made off Baldwin, New York pitcher,
in the first game. Kelly hit home
run with the bases full and Travis
Jackson did the same thing. The
scores were to S and Is to 3. Ehr
hardt, recruit pitcher from Florida,
hurled Brooklyn to a 4 to victory
over Boston. Cincinnati took game
from Chicago, 3 to I, Donahue out
pitching the veteran Alexander.
In the Americans, Detroit took two
games from Cleveland, to 3 and
20 to 1. The second game established
a scoring mark in the American
League. Twenty runs is the largest
total any team has registered in the
League this season. The nearest APP
proach was on August 30 when
Philadelphia defeated Boston, 18 to

was knocked out in the first round
by Angel Rodriguez, now retired.
The setback only angered the fu-
ture Wild Bull who bowled over a
score of amateurs before his first
professional fight in September,
1919, with an American, William
Daily. Firpo won by knockout in
seven rounds and had added II
other knockout victims to his record
when he first came to this country
in 1922.
Firpo was met by no hands or
public acclaim when he first arrived
here. Landing unostentatiously, he
trained in cellars, fought off hunger
but never thought of abandoning
the career which he had chosen.
When an opening came he knocked
out Sailor Maxted, Italian Jack Her
man and Joe Mccain before re-
turning to Argentina, where he won
his first big purse in beating Jim
Tracy, an Australian.
Since that time Firpo has been
in the public eye. He came to this
country early in 1923 and knocked
out Bill Brennan, Jack McAuliffe
and halted comeback by Jess Will
lard. Before each fight his equip
ment was ridiculed, and it was free
ly predicted that Dempsey would
easily conquer the crude workman
from Argentina. But the champion
was knocked down twice and hurled
out of the ring before he beat the
Wild Bull to the canvas for the sew
enth time to win by knockout in
two rounds in the most spectacular
prize fight in history.
Firpo grew in business sagacity
as he advanced in power. He man.
ages his own affairs, combs the
country in transforming flurries
and his financial bouts with Tex
Rickard and other promoters have
attracted almost as much attention
as his fights in the ring.
In the midst of negotiations for
return match with Dempsey, the
"Wild Bull" suddenly announced
that he was through with prize
fighting; but when Richard offer
ed more attractive inducements, he
changed his decision. In his own
country he has been regarded as a
national hero because of the atten-
ton he attracted to the South AM
erican continent. He is now impli-
Gated with immigration authorities
here in legal battle which has
woman in the background.
Firpo won "a of his 80 battles by
knockouts, and seven by decisions.
His knockout by Dempsey was the
only reverse of his professional ca
reer. The coming bout with Wills
is considered by the impatient
"Wild Bull" as mere preliminary
to another championship affair with
Dempsey.

Billy Evans Says

'Too bad Walter Johnson has never
world SERIES"
For years that has been the sad
lament of baseball fans and experts
the country over.
i. Now that the Washington club is
strongly in the running for the
American League pennant, what
about the world series chances of
Walter Johnson.
: Ever since his entry into the Amer
ican League, Johnson has been noted
for his terrific speed.
"You can't hit what you can't
,see," has for years been the theory
of American League batters in ex-
planning their. inability to hit John
CONS fast one.
4 During the first two years of his
fleaguer without the aid Of curve
ball. Opposing batters knew they
could always look for a fast one, yet
found him the most difficult pitcher
in the league to hit.
= Later Johnson acquired good
.curve, now has deceptive change
Of pace, but he still tells you that
: the fast one is his one best bet. This
even after 10 years of campaigning

ever, but he only bears down occa-
Ssionally. He is now content to win
with the least possible strain on his
sarm.

men, president of trading corpor-
alton.
Mr.. Lomen explained that despite
the fact that many natives are very
wealthy on paper, due to their large
reindeer herds. they are nearly
starving. The herds have increased
to point where they must be de-
pleted. The one sure way, without
waste, is to cultivate taste for rein
deer meat, not only throughout
Alaska, but in the United States and
in foreign countries.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1924-09-06

Johnson could have won world SER
les single handed.
A team looking at Johnson's great
speed for the first time during that
period of greatness. would have found
him almost unhittable.
The lively ball was not in use at
that time. This feature must be Civ
en- consideration when discussing
Johnson's chances in world series.
Speed is made to order for the
lively ball, if the batsman can proper
ly time the fast one. While speed,
well controlled, is still a pitchers
greatest asset, it is not as dominant
factor as it was with the old style
ball.
The curve and the change Of pace
is most necessary. Johnson boasts
both and would in no way be handi-
capped.
However, fans and critics in dis
cussing Johnson in relation to d
world series, always had in mind his
great speed.
The desire was to see what John
son would be able to do with his fast
ball. The display of speed was re-
garded as Johnson's punch in WORLD
series.
l do not believe that Johnson's
great speed would be as big factor
today as during the first dozen years
of his career. Conditions have
brought about change, the LIVELY
ball and short fences.
Still, if Washington wins the
American League pennant, count or
