The' recently published official fielding averages of American League
players, revealed that the youngest regular In the American League,
Jack ("Stuffy") iVlcInnes, of the Philadelphia Athletics, was rated the
best fielding and batting flrst-sacker on his circuit, and that Larry
Lajoie, of the, Cleveland Naps, the oldest A. L. veteran In point of
service, headed the list of second basemen In fielding averages. In
137 games Lajc4e' batted for an average of .335. In 126 games he
compiled a fielding average of .970. Mclnnes made a fielding record
of .992 in 148 games, and rapped opposing pitchers for a batting
average of .326.

tions, and friction has resulted.
"Hereafter the commission should be
. run as the law contemplates. Offices
of the commission should be established
in Salem, and there should' be a paid
secretary, and all business should be
transacted through that office. The
Came warden and the fish warden should
remain subordinates as nrovlded by the
law, and remain under the direction of
the commission.
"The matter of hatching fish should
not be mixed up with the duties of en-
l forcing the laws. Flnley was charged
with enforcing the game laws and look
ing after the trout, and Clanton was
charged wltiv -enforcing: the commercial
fish laws aid conducting the hatcheries.

The reorganization of the fish and
game departments, and the establlHh-
ment ofan office In Salem with a
salaried ''secretary, Is possible under
the law, declares the governor, who
says iti.will be putting thet law into
operatlcm -as it was originally intended.
Battues Through Commission.
Hr snld if it were necessary for the
game warden and the fish warden to
maintain, offices In Portland, having
Oie Offices of the commission here
would not interfere with these Offices.
But he Contends that all business should
be transacted through the commission,
Instead of by the heads of the two de
partments Independent of the commis
sion. '
Because the commission Is given
complete rpntrol, and must approve all
claims and salaries a.nd other accounts
before they an be audited by the sec
retary of state, is tiy reason all activi
ties In the fish endgame departments
must stop when the resignations of the
members of the commission are ac
cepted. The governor said the existence
of the offices of fish and game wardens
and positions of other employes are de-
, pendent upon the existence of a fish
. and game commission.
All High Class Men.
"I consider the men who resigned all
high class men," said the governor, "and
peculiarly fitted for the service. They
had devoted a great deal of time and
money to the work of the commission,
rd were working without salary. They
are men of affair who left their duties
to attend the meetings of the commis
sion, and it Is unfair for them to be
annoyed by petty strife. I'm not sur
prised at them becoming diKgusted and
resigning."
A peculiar feature of the situation Is
that the governor declares he cannot
find out what Iffe.causing the fuss among
the snglers and others In Portland. He
says he has been unuble to learn what

commission, and why the agltution in

It appears that the anglers are de
fending Kinney. The governor read a
clipping today from the Astoria Budget,
containing an Interview with Kinney, in
which he is reported to have said he
was opposed to restocking with trout any
of the streams tributary to the Colum
bia river, as the trout destroyed the
young salmon. Kinney was the only

Difficulties of the public service cor
porations ln their efforts to secure
money for Improvements were dis
cussed at the regular bi-weekly lunch
eon of the Transportation club at the
Multnomah hotel yesterday. Franklin
T. Griffith, president of the Portland
Hallway, Light & Power company, ex
plained the effect of popular agitations
and the uncertainties of dividends.
Mr. Griffith bus lately returned from
eastern financial renters, where lie
larned Some of the reasons for the
tightness of money. Ho declared that
the delay In panning the currency bill
is keeping capitalists unduly cautious.
At present, he said. Investors are put
ting their money into short-time loans
and then only where prospects of return
are unusually favorable. Whatever bill 1
is passed, Mr. Griffith said, will have a
steadying effect, removing at least tha
element Of uncertainty that now pre
vails throughout the country.
Mr. Griffith declared that the ten
dency to attack capital invested In rail
way and other public service enter
prises is responsible for a great share
of the financial evils. He declared that
because "regulation" Is popular, poli
ticians both largo and ffmall use It as a
means to preferment and legitimate proj
ects suffer along with those which need
watching and strict regulation, in edu
cation of the people to look upon rall
ways ns friends rather than enemies, he
saw the salvation of the railway lines.
President It. H. Strahorn of the Port

for an impromptu talk after Mr. Griffith
had finished. He declared his line to lie

What improved waterways would
mean to New England was the subject
treated by the next speaker, William S.
McNary of Boston, and he wag followed
by Representative John H. Small of
North Carollna.vho advocated that an
inland waterway be opened up from
Sandy Hook to Cape Lookout. Much of
this distance Is already pierced by in
land waterways.
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Flor
ida discussed the merits of a canal from
the Mississippi to the Atlantic ocean,
suggesting feasible means for its con
struction, while Representative Georte
F. Burgess followed along the same line
and proposed pushing an inland water
way, from the Mississippi to the Rio
Grande, thus making it possible for
shipments to be made over an inland
waterway almost across the continent.
