W. CROXTON, ’ ~ vsengerAgent , Georgia WHAT DO YOU THINK O F “"*■ 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.
