Uniform Laws.
This morning the National committee

its work, and as the commissioners are

No efTort will probably be made by

SLUMPS IN BATTING.
Mike Donlln Philosophizes About
v Inability to Hit the Ball.
Mike Donlin. the Giants' crack hitter,
who i fitting It out with Wagner of
the Pittsburg club for the hitting hon
ors of the National League, had a bat
ting slump the other day. He talked,
about It. not bitterly, but philosophic
ally, with some of his friends.
"Life is pretty short to try to uncoil
an explanation for such a fool thing as
a batting slump." he said. "If I tried
to unravel that problem I'd go mad
and begin to gibber like somebody hob
bled into-a booby hatch.
"The only way for a fellow to do
when he finds himself In the middle of
a batttng slump is to traipse up and
take his medicine like somebody that
likes U and Just let the squeenchy old
thing wear Itself out. The slump tears
holes in a fellow's average of course,
and it's particularly measly when you're
up around with the top stickers; but
there's no remedy.
"No ballplayer ever yet gave a rea
sonable explanation of a batting slump
what causes the slump, that Is.
There are weeks when the ball as It
advances toward the plate looks as big
as a toy balloon, no matter who's
pitching.
Then right atop of such a period
comes a week when the ball looks to
me. like a mustard seed In a howling
gale, even when some fllnger who
hasn't a thing Is lobbing 'em over. Ex
plain It? You might as well ask me
to explain an earthquake.
"Last week there were days when It
seemed as if I couldn't hit a bunk If I
was too sleepy to stand up. and I never
felt better in my life, either, than I
did last week. I've been In the game
long; enough to know that the way a
fellow feela ha little or nothing to do
with his wallODlng ability.
"Of course If a player is run down In
health and weak, why, he can t be
there with the clouts. But there's
difference between being actually sick
and weak, and lust being dopey and
out of form. Now, some of the hardest
hitting I ever did In my life was done
when I felt dopey, sick of the game;
when I didn't feel any more like play
ing ball than I did like hitching up
with a chain gang.
"When In that shape, especially
along toward the middle or end of a
season, when tired of railroad travel
ing and sort of harness sore, I've
trudged up to the platter and slapped
the ball over the works, taking every
thing the heaver sent over for me and
mauling it around, no matter where I
happened to catch It.
"Then to show the other side of this
baffling business, there are times
like last wek. . for Instance when I
feel like pulling out the tusks of wlld-

"As to the charge that I have grossly

that such an allegation that I either di
rectly or indirectly bribed or offered to

the State of Washington during the ses

that I authorized or directed any other
person to either bribe or offer to bribe
any member of the Legislature at any
time or that I directly or indirectly
sought to corrupt any person at any
time, is unqualifiedly false and without
foundation In fact; and the entire arti

to point to a single act of mine, either
public or private, inconsistent with hon

that Congressman Jones and his support
ers and friends, who evidently inspired
the article in Collier's Weekly, were
silent as to my character until after the
opening of this campaign, is indisputable
proof of' the falsity of the charges so
made, and the Insincerity of the authors
thereof. That I have made mistakes is
doubtless true, for it is human to err. but
that those mistakes have been intentional
no man can truthfully say.

ALBAXY PIjANT BEING PRE

Frnit Association AVI 11 Probably
Handle Sixty Carloads of
Prunes This Year.
ALBANY, Or., Aug. 24. (Special.)
The Northwest Fruit Association, the
new organization of fruitgrowers, be
gan its tight against the Prunepackers'
Association today when work was be
gun at the big packing plant in this
city preparatory to operation during
the coming prunepacking season. A
force of men under Manager S. A. La
selle is now putting the plant In shape
for the season's run. '
The Albany plant has a capacity of
about 175 carloads of dried prunes, but
will not handle nearly as many this
Kail. Owing to the fact that the prune
crop is light this year, and that many
growers are already under contract to
the packers' association for this sea
son's crop, the new association does
not expect to pack more than 60 car
loads. Enough growers are in the or
ganization now to assure about 40 car
loads. More Growers Join.
Officers of the new association say
growers are coming Into the organiza
tion dally. Two prunegrowers, who
have already contracted their 1908 crop
to the packers' association, thinking it
would operate the only packing plants
In the Pacific Northwest this year, have
cxpreseed their regrets to Manager La
selle that they could not put their
prunes Into the growers' union, but
have given the association support by
taking stock.
The new association will start with
$10,000 capital. The growers who
formed the organization subscribed
$6500, and used this amount to pur
chase the Albany plant, and the addi
tional $3500 of etock Is now being sold,
and most of it will be purchased In this
city.
Will Employ Over 150.
Affairs of the association are now
being handled by the following offi
cers, chosen at the first mee.ing at
Salem last Wednesday: President, L.
M. Gilbert, of Salem: vice-president,
Enos Presnall, of Salem; secretary and
manager, S. A. Laselle, of Albany.
The re-openlng of the big packing
plant means much Industrially to Al
bany, for It employs from 150 to 200
people in the packing plant alone, and
the boxes and most of the supplies are
made here.
