Locals Were Handicapped but
Victory Was Earned by
the Visitors.
The Mars Hill baseball team took
the first of a series of three games
that are to be played for the western
North Carolina championship with
the Y. M. C. A. team Saturday after
noon by the score of 3 to 1, It was
an earned victory for the visitors, al
though they might not have fared so
well If four of the regular Y. M. C. A.
players had not been absent and If
Chambers had not been slightly Indis
posed. With all this they had no
walk-over, and a very small thing
might have changed the result. Not
withstanding the conditions of Cham
bers, he pitched a great game after
the first Inning when he gave up four
hits and two men scored. After that
he allowed only two hits. His pitch
ing and that of Greenwood was easily
the feature of the game. Greenwood
struck out 11 men and passed one.
Chambers struck out seven and
passed two. The game was full of
errors and spectacular plays. The vis
itors outbatted the locals
One of the prettiest plays of the
game was made by Patton on third,
when he ran back and caught
would-be Texas leaguer. Sams of the
visitors made the same kind of play.

On every Question except that of
rates, a substantial agreement hah
been reached between the commission
and the companies. The latter express
their willingness to conform their bus
iness operations to any requirements
the commission might make; but they
expressed anxiety concerning any seri
ous reduction of their rates lest It
might seriously affect their revenues.
Attacks Scale of Charges.
Commissioner Lane makes a vigor
ous attack, In his report, upon the so
called scale of graduated charges by
which the express companies now de
termine the rate which shall apply to
a package of given weight. This
scale Is held by the commission to be
unreasonable, discriminatory and ar
bitrary. The report says:
"It is the product of years of shrewd
manipulation has no justification In
the minds of the express men them
selves, and in the richest example yet
brought to our attention of a tariff
based exclusively upon the theory that
the charge should be what the traffic
will bear."
With respect to the standard of
rates, the commissioner says:
"What then may be said to be the
standard of a reasonable express rate?
Our answer is, no one consideration.
These conclusions, however, we have
reached:
"1. That express rates should be
made primarily to meet the need of

S. A. Lynch acted as umpire in a

At first It was meant that only one

which the express company Islntendcc
to carry rather than by the 100 pounds
as freight rates are stated.
"2. That In the fixing of its rates
an express company should not be al
lowed to charge more than a railroad
company if the latter undertook to,
and did, give the same service.
'.1. That It is proper for the gov
ernment to treat the express company'
as a freight forwarder by passenger
train, giving supplemental service at
aach terminal and intermediate care.
"1. That an express rate many not
he based upon the monopoly right of
the express company to be the exclu
sive freight forwarder over one or
more lines of railroad.
"5. That the rate should not In
clude more than a reasonable com
pensation for the serviie given, even
though such compensation Tails below
that which the railroad exacts as a
minimum for the carriage of 10O
pounds of freight.
"6. That it is unreasonable to fix
so rapid a decline in express rates for
long distance as Is made by the rail
roads in their freight rates, express
service in this respect being more an
alogous to passenger than to freight
service.
"7. That in compounding the
express rates the railroad should
be allowed compensation for bulked
freight which is moved upon a
passenger train as to which it Is
relieved by contract fur all liability
for loss or damage and is without ex
pense for the furnishing of a receipt
the billing, the bookkeeping anil a
great number of other general expenses.
"8. That the rate should include
a return to the express company
which will compensate it with profit
for the expense of the service which It
gives, there being added thereto In the
formation of the total rate the proper
charge which it may reasonably make
for the service whicji the railroad
gives as stated in the penciling para
graph."
The report contains a wealth of de
tail concerning the financial operations
of the express companies and their
relations with not only the public but
with the railroads. Attached to It la

alysis of the relationship which exists
among the various express companies,
showl-.g the directors of express com
panies which are Interested In tail
roads, the railroad ofliclals who are
Interested In express companies, the
organization ami capitalisation of the
companies and a thorough analysis of
their operating expenses nnd income.
After the hearing next October a
supplementary order will be entered
by the commission putting into effect
the rates proposed as soon as It may
be considered practicable to make
them effective.
