legitimately a bad piece of business to
win a pennant.
Each of the New York clubs made
about $80,000 on the late series. Had
either the Giants or the Yanks followed
the footsteps of the Boston Braves,
who beat the Athletics in straight
games back in 1914, both of the partic
ipants would have lost money.
Eight and a half cents of everv dol
lar taken in at the first five games went
to each one of- the contending clubs
and the series expenses had to be paid
out of that. The lavish way in which
both clubs entertained the newspaper
men and friends, ran into thousands of
dollars.
Under the present arrangement, the
Advisory Board and the two league
treasuries get the largest cut of the
receipts. The $42,500 salary which
commissioner Landis gets forced the
Advisory .Board to increase its share
from ten to fifteen per cent of the re
ceipts. The players get GO per cen,t of the
receipts of the first five games. The
increase in this "cut" from the old
scale was made necessary by the rul
ing to give the second and third place
clubs in each league a share of the
spoils.
After the commissioner's share and
the two leagues' share are deducted.
the club owners haven't much left out
of their forty per cent. Better breaks
come after the fifth game. Eighty-five
per cent of the receipts are divided
fifty-fifty with the league treasuries. In
the event of an eighth and ninth game,
the leagues profit most, as the club own
ers must turn over seventy five per
cent to their respective leagues.
So it seems. figuring it all up, that
there is little but glory for the club
owners who got into the series. In
the case of the rich Xew York clubs,
this is fair enough, but supposing St.
Louis should win the pennants rc-xt
year, which is not at all improbable,
the proposition would not be fair for
the risk and the expense involved.
If the magnates do accept the rec
ommendation to return to the old seven-
game arrangement, it is probable thai
they will insist upon a re-arrangement
of the process of division, which will
give the pennant winner a better break.
BASKETBALL SQUAD
AT ELON PRACTICES
Elon College, Nov. 29.-With the
close of the football season with the
Thanksgiving Day game, interest on
the Hill now is turning toward the
bport of basketball.
Today the varsity squad of the col-
lege began their pratice for the sea
son, which opens after Christmas.
Of last year's team, E. S. Johnson,
forward, and B. B. Johnson, center, will
not be back with the team this year.

men of the regular squad of last year
that will not be available for this season.
L. Perry and McAdams, guards, Fix
and Newman forwards, regulars of last
year, will be back in the line-up this
season. Also among the substitutes
of last year, Andrews, H. White, Bar
ker, Kennedy, Walker, Marlette, Bar
ber, Atkinson, Harrod and Penny will
be back in uniform as candidates for

to be fair prospects, among the most
promising being" Kirkland, Flynn, b,
Perry, Lefler, R. Brown, and A. Brown
C. P. Farmer and S. L. Atkinson
who have been with the team in for
mer years but who were out of school
last year will be back into the game.

OPENING CONFERENCE

Chicago, Nov. 29. Virgil G. Hin

to co-operate with the enforcement of- j
ficials." Mr. Hinshaw sounded this
note in opening a national prohibition
conference and meeting of the prohibi
tion national committee.
"We face a new opportunity, an op
portunity to enforce the law that now
exists," the prohibition chairman told
the conference. "This is our job.
"If we cannot get the administra
tion now in power to lead the way we
shall have to elect one that will.
"One of the disappointing things ;
about our President is that he has j
made no public appeal to the nation to
uphord the 18th amendment, and he
appointed a secretary of treasury con- i
spicuously known as pro-boozs. i
"However, the American people must '
take things into their own hands." j
Mr. Hinshaw, who has just return- j
ed from Europe, added that its nations j
were being flooded with pro-liquor
propaganda from America. "Brewers .
and distillers abroad are fighting hy i
use of the press as though on their
last legs, he said.

Statement Of Principles tlMl
(From Atlanta Constitution Nov. 21, 1921)
H.r J. B. HOCKADAY.
PIIESIDKXT SOUTHEASTERN
EXPRESS CO.
The principles of the South
eastern Express Company are
expressed in tne following lan
guage: Open routes, open rates
from point to point, competitive
service, operation of through
-ars in the avoidance of trans
fer en route and recognition of
shippers' routing.
So far as the public is con
cerned, the conduct of the ex
press business Dy the several ex
press companies should be the
same as if one express company
Wl handled the traffic.
The system of express rates
heretofore observed by all ex
press companies was originally
prescribed by trie Interstate Com
merce Commission. Under this
system of rates the eleven or
more express companies then in
existence were treated as a unit
find the rates applied from point
to point, either locally, over a
single line of one express com
pany or jointly over the lines
of two or mow express compa
nies, via all a.ailable routes.
-n or the express companies
ere ordered and required to
'stablish jointly and publish the
nirougn rates as prescribed, ap
plicable between all noints reach
ed by the lines of the several
companies. This system of
rates, promulgated in the public
interest, remained in effect froin
February , 1914, the date upon
which it was oraered established.
to ilay l. 1921, when the South
eastern Express Company Cora
inence.l operasions over the
Southern Railway system lines,
Continue Actional Myatem.
The .Southeastern was willing
and anxious to continue this
uniform and national system of
rates in full force and effect Just
ts the Interstate Commerce Com
mission intended It should be ap
plied and promptly filed its gen
eral concurrent to make this
uniform system effective ovei its
lines. Thereupon the American
inway impress company re
fused to srive effect to the iren
ral concurrence of the Soutn
eastern Express Company and
over the protest of the latter
company undertook to restrict
Jhe application of rates so as t
limit the annlicatfon of nil tar-
iffs by certain restrictive oro-
visions and thereby deny to the.
Southeastern participation in an
joint rates or routes between
points where the American Com
pany had its fj-xn service.
By these restrictions the Amer
ican Company canceled our joint
rates between all common points
and between common or com
petitive points ,nd exclusive of
fices of either company so as to
compel the traffic to be moved
over single line1 routes, although
many of the joint routes thus
closed were imperatively ineces-
sary In the pohc interest and
were superior .n point of time
and service for the single line
routes left open. By this action
the American Company sought to
deny and did ceny to the pubiic
the benefit or tnrough routes
between important points in the
United States which followed
main lines of travel, were the
most direct in point of time and
in connection with which supe
rior passenger train scheduler
were and are operated. Many
of these routes wnich were closed
by the arbitrary action of the
American Company were exten
sively used by that compary
prior to May 1, 1921. and had
been so used because these routes
furnished to the .public tre
quickest and best service pos
sible.
The America. Company insist
ed upon and stn persists in this
attitude and denied ana contin
ues to deny to the Southeastern
any participation in joint rates
or the Joint handling of traffic
between any points reached by
the American company, even
thoueh well-established routes
which follow main lines of
travel and are the most direct
in ooint of time are thereby
closed, and in lieu thereof only
from exclusive offices of one
indirect and in ferior routes arc
provided over the lines or the
American company.
Even where joint rates w?re
published. without restriction.
company to exclusive offices of
the other, tne American company
has declined to handle the traf
fic under these rates by transfer
noints which would give the puo-
lic the Quickest and best service
and has insisted upon holding
on to the traffic so as to give
to it the longest possible haul
without regard to resultant ua-
lavs nad serious inconvenience
and loss to which shippers and
consignees were thereby subject
ed.
The Southeastern Express Com
pany has always been willing
to forego its long haul wherever
it was in the public interest to
do so. It has been and is will
ing to keep open all available
routes so as to afford the public
a maximum of competitive serv
ice and to allow the public tj
route its traffic so as to secure
the service and handling whicn
shippers and consignees desire.
It has not feared and does not
fear the freest competition und?r
rates made applicable via ail
routes, and has been and is will
ing for the public to determine
and direct which service it de
sires. The American Company
has adopted exactly the opposite
policy, and not only denies to
shippers and consignees the right
to route their traffic, but has en
deavored to so restrict the appli
cation of the rates as to close
all joint routes with the South
eastern and force shippers and
consignees to use the service of
the American Company, even
though they may desire the
joint handling r the traffic over
joint routes which are more ex
peditious than the single-iine
route of either company.
The American Company has
gone so far in its effort to com
pel the public to accept and use
its service, as to refuse to re
ceive from the Southeastern traf
fic at direct points of transfer.
The American company has like
wise repeatedly declined to ac
cept traffic from shippers with
routing instructions requiring
Joint handling by the Southeast
ern and where it has accepted
traffic under routing instructions
the American Company has per
sistently declined to pay any at
tention whatever to shippers'
routing and ias instructed its
representatives to disregard the
sarre.
The Southeastern is most anx
ious to afford shippers and con-
signees the best possible service,
and to this end it has sought
to continue in effect the system
of rates devised by the federal
commission ana adopted by near
ly all of the (State commissions
under which shippers are given
a free choice of routes, are per
mitted to designate the routing
of their traffic and are assured
the benefits to be derived from
competitive service under uni
form and open rates.
