WHAT DO YOU THINK

FREIGHT RATE REVISION?
We have suggested to the Railroad Commis
sion of Georgia a system of revised rates for
intrastate commerce to conform with the sys
tem of rates for interstate commerce. The
hearing is set for August 17th.
The interests of the railroads and the inter
ests of the people are identical. If, in urging
our petition, we retard the development of
Georgia, we retard the development of the
railroads of Georgia.
You’ve thought about rate re
vision—does it affect your interest?
Write us frankly just what
you think —what’s in your mind.
Have we the wrong idea? If
so, in what respect?
If we think you have the wrong
idea, we’ll try to set you straight.
Remember we cannot prosper unless you
prosper. Your prosperity depends largely
upon good transportation service, hence the
community of interest.
We have told you the handicap under which
we, and a large number of the smaller towns in
Georgia, are laboring. In asking you to write
to us we are not seeking praise. We seek ex
pression of your mature business opinion.
We think rate revision which removes dis
crimination and enables the railroads to earn
sufficient to render first-class service and carry
forward their work of development, a good
thing. A revision on these lines cannot impose
a burden upon the business interests of Georgia
—which would be bad for both the people and
the railroads.
Interstate revision, removing many dis
criminations, took place January Ist, last, un
der requirement of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. We think discrimination of like
nature should be removed from intrastate ad
justments, also.
What do you think? Write today.
Your letter will be appreciated and receive
attention.
It is not and will not be the policy of the Railroads of
Georgia to propose any system of rates which would discrimi
nate unjustly against the Georgia producer in favor of pro
ducers' located at points without the state. Should the prin
ciple appear to be violated by any technical construction of the
petition we give assurance that we will not propose, nor will
we attempt to adopt, in actual practice, any rate at variance
with the same.

MARANViLLE
\ FAMOUS PLAYS
AND PLAYERS
By RANDOLPH ROSE
Up East last summer
I saw Walter Ma- Jr
ranville of the Boston M
Nationals for the first Jj £3]
time. He’s certainly a s j
marvel and a midget si mZL J
and everything good J
that’s been said of him
is true, and more. too.
It was in the second
inning, when he got his „ os .
first chance at a fly « AS,DOL P U Uy3a
ball. I watched him catch it.
“Ah, he’s dropped it,” I thought., but
before I could realize it, he had tossed
it over to Evers.
And thus I was initiated into whab
is known as Ma r anville’s patent vest
pocket catch. Instead of catching a fly
with hands up around his head or shoul
ders, he catches them down near his
waist, and they tell me no matter how
many times you see him you shudder
every time he catches a fly, thinking he
has missed it.
Maranville’s father was a tinner and
looked upon baseball as a very frivolous
tiling and didn’t want his son to play.
The old man said he didn’t want his son
fooling around getting his mind off his
work, when if he stayed at home and
settled down lie could make his S2O reg
ular every week at the tinning trade. I
guess the boy makes that much a day
now, without much trouble.
There’s another player on that Boston
team that appeals to me—Dick Rudolph.
Fame is a precarious thing and nobody
knows how close Rudolph came to miss
ing it. #
He pitched for Toronto five years, all
the time figuring he was a major leaguer
if lie could just get a chance. Well, the
Giants tried him out one year and turned,
him buck. When it came time to go to
Toronto for the sixth year. Rudolph
struck. He realized that if lie served up
there another year he was a goner as a
major leaguer. So he refused to play
and held out until lie became a free
agent and then tried out with Boston.
His first year with Boston, 1914, he did
more than any other one player to win
the pennant, and won the opening game
of the world’s series. He sure had a
narrow escape.
