Inspiration to his younger charges.
You may scott at inspiration when
Il comes to professional athletics,
but the. fact remains that inspira-
ton does play some part in the
success Of an individual or q team.
OF course, inspiration or mana.
gerial ability never did win ball
games unaided. Inspiration never
yet helped q pitcher to make an
opposing batsman miss one in his
groove, nor can smart management
do any good when the sun gets
into the eyes Of an outfielder.
The White Sox as q team look
100 per cent better than they did
last October. While no trade OF

IN an effort to strengthen the
lineup and batting order, the ac-
uuisition of several unheralded
players from what are called the
tsticks" and the development OF
aeveral others who were generally

account for the improvement.
Ever since the discovery of the

cording to those who have been at
fhe white Sox ringside, is a good
fielder and shows signs OF develon-
ing into a good hitter. He started
of slowly with the stick, but IN
the past few weeks has improved
rapidly.
There is nothing wrong with the
ragt Of the Chicago infield. Every.
body knows what Collins can do at
second. Big Earl Shelley at first
base fills the bin from any angle.
Willie Kamn, who came from the
Pacific Coast with a wonderful repu-
fation as a third baseman, has
hardly lived up to expectations.
gtiII Willie can play third as good
AZ the next and can hit just about
well enough to make sure or mis-

The venerable Harry Hooper has
steuped pretty much out OF the
right field picture, his place being
taken by young Spencer Harris.
Johnny Mostil and Bib Falk make

REGARDING POSTAL RATES

Those seeking revision of the post
al rates are not in a way to. realize
what they seek at the hands of the
next Congress, for the reason, IL no
other, that the Postmaster General Is
not prepared and will not be before
February to show what the year
brings forth.
He did not tell the committee that,
while the increase in postal pay is
S6s,0oo,0o0, the increase in receipts
is around $ss,ooo,oo0 less; that he
doesn't think there should be any in
crease Of transient second-class rates
as experience shows this is burden
some to the public, causing much OPP
position and is resulting in diminish
ed revenue from that source. He
thinks rate of one cent for each
four ounces regardless of distance is
sufficient for this class of matter.
According to the news report he
further disclosed that legislation to
provide for a. low rate for news deal
er packages Of periodical matter ap-
proximating the freight or express
rate now given for such service
would be inadvisable and uneconom-
zeal to the government. Any rate 80
fixed would have to be as adjustable
to length Of haul and other condi-
tions as the rates now given by the
transportation companies, which
would mean a fexibility and varia-
ton in rate which could not be met
by any fixed rate named by an act of
Congress.
Furthermore, a fiat rate could not
be successfully applied any more
than it is applied in the railroad
service, he said. It was also shown
that, although the expense to the de-
partment would be mainly for trans
portation, the additional cost for car
space would more than equal any
rate proposed.
He also opposed legislation author
ling a special postage rate for the
carriage Of catalogues and other sim
liar matter by freight, such rate to
approximate that now given by
transportation companies" -. ;,
