ton and are willing to work hard
and long. go to it. If not, you had
better look around for another job.
Must Practice Constantly.
Constant practice is what develops
the youngster playing the middle sta
ton. He can learn some things in
| theory, but the best way for him to
perfect himself in the duties of the
position is to drill regularly on the
ball field. The more he practices, If
he has ability, the quicker he rises
to the top.
Most youngsters have at least one
glaring weakness when they begin
playing second base. Some are bad
on ground balls; others have trouble
getting under short flies Some can't
go to their right well; others have a
weakness in playing balls hit to their
, left. Sometimes the youngster is
weak on the pivot in engineering a
double play. Then again, he doesn't
get the knack of putting the bali on
q man stealing.
| The only cure I know of is to take
the departments of play In which you
are weak and practice until you per-
feet one and then the others. You

When I joined the Washington
club l had trouble getting under
short flies. / helped lose a game to
the Yankees in making my debut, be-
cause of this. Clark Griff1th drilled
me day, in and out in catching such
balls until he thought I was up to the
standard required of a big Lacquer.
1t was hard work but it paid. You'll
find practice will do the same thing
| for you.
Before you are able to stand hard
drills you will have to get your body
in good condition. The simple rules
of training outlined elsewhere for In
| fielders will apply to you. Try in

National League race between New
York, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Brook
lyn. l am tempted TO place them in
that order.
Likes Griffs and Yanks.
The American League race looks
to me more like a two-team race than
a four club affair. The Senator's and
the Yanks will be in the running
from the start. Clark Griffith and
Bucky Harris have a much stronger
club than many base ball people
think. 1t is smooth-running ma
chine. Griffith wisely has added sew
eral veteran pitchers. On a cham
pionship club experience like that means
everything. They will not permit
the machine to fall to pieces. Know
ing the tendency of all pennant win
ners to get over-confident and care
less, Griffith has balanced the Sem
ators off with theseN steady thinking
oldtimers.
1 don't really understand yet how
the Yanks lost the pennant last year.
In my mind there is no question about
them having had the strongest club
in the, American League. They simply
put off their spurt too long. When 1t
did come strong 1t was too late.
lie 81. LOUIS OuknI 10 put
up good fight this year and ] be-
lieve they have a chance. With a
man like Sisler as model the Browns
can't help being good ball club. His
individual ability and force of char
acter would stimulate any team. He
is to st. Louis as Walter Johnson is
to Washington.
Thinks Tigers Should Figure.
The Detroit club is likely to be
fourth contender in the American
League. The Tigers proved them
selves a fighting club last season and
1 understand that Cobb has strength
ened his machine in several places.
In all my years I have never seen
quite so much general interest in
base ball 1t is bound to be the big
gest season the game ever has known.
Much Of this 1 attribute to the wide
spread interest over the series be-
tween the Senators and Giants last
Fall. Though it was disappointing
to us, Washington's victory was a
popular one and the flying of, the
world pennant in the Capital has done
world of good for base ball.

MADDEN Is AGAINST
WHALEY RENT BILL
House Appropriations Chairman
Opposes Further Hampering
of Business.

Representative Martin Madden OF
tions committee, who was one of
President Coolidge's callers at the
White House today is opposed to
the Whaley rent bill, which, among
other things, proposes to regulate
rents and to make the District Rent
Commission permanent
Although Representative Madden
made known his opposition to this
proposed legislation, following a con-
ference with the President, he stated
that the matter was not discussed
between them. He said he saw the
Executive about an entirely different
subject.
The appropriations committee chair
man is the first congressional leader
to come out openly against this meas
ure, which is known to have the
hearty Endorsement of President Cool
idge.
While he declined TO discuss the
Whaley bill in detail, he declared
that he was not in favor of the Fed
eral Government interfering further
in private affairs of citizens. In his
opinion, the Government already has
interferred too much, and he is bit
terly opposed to voting for the grant
ing of any measure that would fur
ther expand the bureaucracy. He did
not care to express himself regard
ing the housing situation here, nor
would he say whether or not he has

FREIGHT RATE BILL
HEARING OPENED
Grading Measure to Equalize
Charge Vital, Wit
ness Says.

Proponents of the Gooding bill to
prevent railroads from charging
higher rates for short hauls than long
hauIs over the same route were on
hand for the opening of hearings on
the measure today before the House
commerce committee.
The measure, which was passed by
the Senate at the last session, would
amend existing law so as to restrain
the Interstate Commerce Commission
from exercising the power to permit
a higher rate to be charged for a
short haul.
After three days allotted to support
ers of the bill. the committee plans
to give similar length of time to
opponents next week.
w. S. Mccarthy, Salt Lake City,
Utah, president of the intermediate
Rate Association, and first witness,
said that for 50 years the interior
West has struggled against the han
dicap of freight rate discrimination.
The story of its failure to develop
more rapidly in industry, manufac-
ture and population can be written
In and is entirely attributable to
freight-rate discrimination"

cation of the American principle

followed these fourth section cases it

ing to absolutely destroy the Panama
Canal competition.
In reply to questioning by Repre-
sentative Burtness, Republican, \. d.
The witness said the situation today
was the same that would exist if the
bill were enacted, but that every two
years the railroads made applications
for departure from the existing rate
structure.
L don't think passage of this law"
he added, would injure anybody" :"
and to further questioning said he
could not see how enactment of the
bill greatly change existing rate
structures.
1t is the uncertainty of the situa-
tion, Mr.. Mccarthy declared, that is
the trouble for without the Gooding
bill it is possible for an application
to depart from the long short haul
rate structure be guaranteed.
