Have you ever asked yourself
how it happens that the .Phila-
delphia Athletics, with practi-
caIly the same team they had a.
year ago. are so far in the van
of the American League race?
The Importance Of so ques-
tioning yourself increases when
you ponder the fact that the
team which they are leading
down the stretch, the Yankees,
too, are practically the same
team as that which held the
upper hand year ago this
time.
Quite coincidence-eh?
Here is how the best baseball
brains account for this appar-
ent paradox:
\ They say the absence from
the AS OF two very discordant
personagss, Ty Cobb and Iris
Speaker, is responsible.
II seems the regular element
Of the Mackmen was no little
disgruntled because two former
American League stars who
were on the down grade had
come into their fold to grab off
the highest salaries while the
bulk of the day-in-and-day-ou
playing was being done by the
same gang which is doing it
this year.
That answer to the situation
sounds plausible. We have yet
to find ANY walk Of life in
which the big dough was going
to people. Of reputation who
were really doing nothing to aid
an organization with the real
workers getting the slim SAL
aries, that was a smooth, har-
nlonious.. Hower-strewn walk.
With Cobb and Speaker out Of
the fold, the .A's are q different
team and the best proof Of that
statement is a, glance at today's
standings in the American
League. ~
We note by the public prints
that the Polo Gnpunds has gone
to 50-cent baseball. That IS to
say the price Of ,bleacheR seats
has been reduced to so cents
from 75 cents.
Which reminds uAS that short

ideas, suggested that we start
campaign locally for 50-cent
baseball.
We retaliated to the honor
able and esteemed judge that
we thought that was the very
trouble with Washington-too
much 50-eent baseball, with
which he went off on his vaca-
tion vowing to- never make
another friendly suggestion TO
this column again.
However, there must be much
merit to the Judges views, and
when the Judge views, he views
more with the eye Of the pro-
moter or producer or magnate
than with the interest Of the
fan at heart.
Being Of the theater, so to
speak, Judge Kelley detests
empty seats. The minute he
walks into q theater he takes
in the gate with one sweeping
glance at the house. If the
galleries are empty or even half
empty there Is something wrong
with the way the house is
scaled.
It is the Judges idea, there.
fore. that it would be better to
have the bIeachers at Clark
Griffith filled, or mostly filled,
at Is, rs or 80 cents per head
than empty at rs cents, as Is
the case under the present seal
ing.
We are never prone to get
very deep into the business pro
cedure Of . ball club, as we feel
the province Of 4 sports page
is more to record or make OBJ
servations ON events which take
place on the field Of play. But
It may be that the handwriting
is on the wall for baseball and
that the time has come when
the clubs must make some over
ture to the public to get them
into the parks, such as the
Giants have just done.
In the meantime If Clark
Griffith wants empty 75-cent
bleacher seats rather than pop
ulated 26 or SO cent seats, he
alone Is the loser. Certainly the
public win not break out in
tears TO see his club at any
price the way things have been
going here Of late.

That the entire inspection force was
kept busy in protecting District con-

the last IL months they made l1.l84
official visits to business establishments
from the smallest shops to the largest
stores and manufactures. Additional
surprise inspections, aggregating 2,l64,
increase this total. Thorough examina-
lions and tests of $4,000 pieces OF
equipment, including commercial scales,
weights, capacity measures. mechanical
fabric measuring machines, prescrip-
ton scales, gasoline and oil dispensing
pumps, milk bottles and other instru-
ments were made. OF this number,
838584 were found correct and were
approved, lat were adjusted before
approval. while 1858 were condemned.
A large proportion of the condemnations
consisted OF milk bottles which were OF
Illegal capacity. The inspectors also
devoted much time to educational ac-
tivities designed to teach tradesmen and
vendors about local laws and the prop
