$6OO.OOO,OOO ASSETS


NEW YORK, July 23. Arrange
ments for uniting the Kansas City
Southern Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and St. Louis southwestern railroads
into a new southwestern system, with
total assets of about $6OO,OOO,0eU, ana
a combined mileage of approximately
5000 miles, were completed today. An
immediate application VIII be made
to the interstate commerce commls-
sion for authority to bring the three
roads together under the direction OF
l.. F. Loree, who has engineered the
merger. Final approval of the pro-
posal was voted by the directors of
the Kansas City Southern railway to-
day after the boards of the other two
roads had ratified the plan. 1t is un-
derstood that the three roads Will still
retain their corporate identities with
Loree in full control through his po-
sition as chairman of the major COM

The development of the Loree sys-
tenn began to take shape more than a
year ago, wnen the Kansas City South
ern acquired working control of the
katy Another link was e d
last fall when a large stock interest
in the Cotton Belt was purchased
from the Rock Island, which had been
blocked in it's efforts to merge with
this road. Additional mileage eventu-
ally will find it's way into the con-
solidation il the original plans for
annexng several smaller lines are
carried out.
In the southwest the combination
will rival the greater Missouri Pacific
system, which recently completed one
of the largest mergers in this section,
and the pending Frisco-Rock Island
consolidation. To a lesser extent, it
will also compete with the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe and the Southeri
Pacific systems which tap that terri
tory.
l.. F. Loree, sponsor for the new
merger, also has projected an amDl-
tious consolidation in the east, where
he plans to build a fifth trunk line
with the Delaware and Hudson as a
The proposal would involve the
OF an entirely new
stretch of railroad across PennsyI-
vania, the probable addition of the
Wabash and one OF the smaller eastern
coal roads such as the Lehigh Valley.
Application recently was made to
lease the Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts
burgh as the first step in the plan.
With the outline of the Loree prof.
ect in the southwest, three major rail-
road consultations are now pending,
the other two being the modified
Nickel Plate" plan and the proposed
union OF the ST. Louis, San Francisco
and Rock Island roads.

GAME AS sHORTsTOP

Lazzeri came to the Yankees as a
shortstop. He looked rather awk-
ward, a trifle out of place in the spring
when shifted to second base. There
was much skepticism as to whether
he would deliver.
Since being assigned to second ne
has improved his play with each
game, already looks the part of the
finished ball player and is certain to
be one of the best men that has ever
played that position in the majors.
Recently he was shifted to short
stop when Mark Koenig slumped in
his work. He has performed brill
liantly at his old position. However,
second base looks like his spot.
That it pays to gamble in baseball
is proved by the case of Lazzeri. When
the Salt Lake club of the Pacific Coast
league put price of $4,000 on Laz-
zeri, New York was the only club in
terested.
The reason: Serious doubt as to
Tony's ability to hit major league
pitching. The case of Paul Strand,
who cost Mack 100000. only to "fliv-
ver,'' was fresh in the minds OF the
magnates.

guide, had gone for aid when Miss
vaille was unable to continue on her
feet because of an injury. Herbert
Sortland, member of the searching
party that set out to rescue Miss
Vaille, became lost in a blizzard, suf-

More than 1000 persons scale the

OAKLAND SELLS

OAKLAND, Calf, July 23.-Russell
C"Buzz") Artlett, Oaklands heavy hit
ting outfielder and second ranking
home run artist of the Pacific coast
league to date this season, was sold on
option today to the Brooklyn Nationals
for cash consideration of $4,000 and
three players.
Harry Dutton Brooklyn scout, is
reported to have closed the deal which
calls for immediate return of George
Boehler, pitcher, who was acquired by
the Dodgers from Oakland last year,
and future delivery of two other play
ers. In case Brooklyn fails to produce
two players in addition to Boehler, the
option calls for a cash payment of $12,-
500 for each man. Arlett will finish the
season. reporting to the major league
team next year,

COST BIG PRICE

The consensus of opinion. was that
the rarified air of Salt Lake was re-
sponsible for Strands average. Since
Lazzeri had won fame under the same
conditions he was placed in Strands
class.
Last season Lazzeri hit 1855 for Salt
Lake; drove in the amazing total OF
222 runs and set a home run record
with 60.
New York gave $4,000 and five
players for Lazzeri, practically $75,OOO,
and he is worth every cent of it and
then some.
And Lazzeri, by the way, assisted by
Oscar Mellilo of ST. Louis, has aroused
new interest in baseball among the
fans of italian blood.
Mellilo is the recruit whose fine
work, once he struck his stride, has
done much to round out the st. Louis
Browns, now playing pennant-winning
baseball.

A GREAT HITTER

Lazzeri is colorful. He has an easy,
graceful style in the field, is fast, and
at the bat takes a healthy cut at the
ball that gets great distance when
he connects.
Tony, however, is not strong on
oratory. He is a tough guy to inter-
view.
"You play baseball with your head'
hands and feet, not your mouth" Is
Tony's favorite expression when some
scribe tries to get him to talk about
himself.
While Tony is very appreciative of
all the kind words that have been
said about him, he much prefers the
newspaper men to draw on their own
Imagination for copy rather than talk
ahout himself.

"Push 'em up Tony!"
That is the favorite expression of
New York fandom at present. n
1t closely rivals what has been the
college yell of the Yankee supporters
for years:
BUST one Babel"
For Tony Lazzeri, playing his first
year under the big tent, is already an
established favorite in New York.
without a doubt, Tony Lazzeri is
one of the best looking young in
fielders to break into the American
league in years. He is destined to
be a star, a much -talked-about athlete.
In fact, already is the subjecA of
considerable gossip.

PARIS, July 23.-The formation of
the Poincare cabinet and the resultant
feeling of relief did not save inoffen-

anti-foreign demonstration tonight.
Tourist baisters assembled in even
larger force than last night at the
starting point of the sightseeing busses
and as soon as the first batch of visi-

and jeers arose. But the authorities
had made preparations and the large

CHICAGO. Sept. 25.-The Griff-
men are expected to play a double
header with the White Sox at
Comislxey Park today. They may
do it, but don't bet on it. Rain and
cold weather may horn in and pre-
vent activities whatever. In that
case one game will go blah for the
season and a twin bill will be book
ed for tomorrow, closing the White
Sox season.
Inclement weather tomorrow will
simply mean that the White Sox
and Griffs lose three games out Of
their schedule, with the White Sox
cheated out of a chance to finish
in the first division. unless it so
happens that the Griffs drop three
games to the Mackmen in Philadel-
phia next week, and nobody wants
to mble on that proposition.
The Griffmen are due to leave
Chicago tomorrow Immediately af-
ter the game, taking the B. and o.
and arriving in Washington at
4:20 Monday afternoon. Those
players who are not to appear in
Philadelphia will be paid and sent
to their homes while those who
may play in Philadelphia will
leave Washington Tuesday morning
ut 8 o'clock for the Quaker City.
The team will disband officially in
Philadelphia next Wednesday night.
Manager Harris is to write about
the world series. probably going to
st. Louis, as well as New York.
Then he will go back to the Capital
and be married. Following his
wedding he will go on a honey
moon to Europe and may not re-
turn to Washington until February.
BY that time Clark Griffith will
be planning to win another pennant.
