The Philadelphia Athletics reach ed the zenith of their team play dur ing the season of 1913 when they ctxuply walked away with the Amer ican league championship of that year and followed the capture of the pennant with a decisive vietory over 'tis New York Nationals in tho world series of that season by four gamss to one.. The Athletics; finished the regaiar season' with a Tecord of 96 games won. 67 lost and a percentage of .627. This was 43 points better thin the average of the Washington team 'which closed the year in 'Bee- ond place. Connie' Players Led. - Connie; Mack's " players took the ,lecd in the pennant race d urine the second week of the season which opened about the middle of April. -1J 3. and were never headed or tied in tbe struggle;, for the title there- - aftr., The Tecords show that 'the -.Athletic led the leaga in team bat tin with .28a and in fielding with .9f6. - It goes without saying that Mack would naturally present his, strong est combination, in the world's seri3 ind i that the lineup agajnst the Giants in the battle for the premier brwball honors of 1913 may be tak " er as tho best and most powerf ul ar rangement available. This combina tion; which defeated the New York team four out of five games, played as follows:. E. Murphy, rfj Oldring.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY LAW OF ROADS ISREPORTEDON Comparison Impossible Ow ing to Abnormal Condi- tibns of Traffic SERVICE NEARLY SAME On Freight Trains Engineers Shown to be Working About 10 Hours WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The eight-hour day commission, headed by Major General Goethals today made its "report of - conditions It found to have been brought about by operation of tbe Adamson 'law, as it affects the railroads of the nation. No recommendations were offered in the report, which declares that abnormal traffic conditions of 1917 made accurate comparison of conditions Impossible. "We find," the report, continued, "that the railroads.in actual practice hive applied the eight-fcour day as a basis for reckoning compensation of the following employes: tngtnemen, firemen, conductors, assistant con ductors, baggagemen,, brakemen and flagmen in road and yard- service and generally hostlers. The average number of these employes was 308, 373, which is 17.37 per cent of 'tho total number of raiway employes." These figures, the report say, ap ply to railroad's having an . annual operating revenue of Sl;0d0,000 or .more. ' .. ..'"..' Taking the 1916 schedule as tho basis, the vfrar caused an Increased expenditure of 1985.803. or 24.5tf per cent Jn January, 1917, by rail road having a total mileage of 104, 355. ' . . .. "To what exent this change will be permanent," the report continued, "we do, not know, but a reductiou In hours means to the ttien the they do ot get the wage increase Indi cated above and In some , cases it means considerable decrease, as where men formerly worked i2 hour they ' now ' work eight hours for the. former ten, hours pay. - "TLfc general change to the eight hour shift has been so recent that It,' was not practicable for this com mission to undertake a special 'study of the effect of reduced hours or el ficlency. We can made no finding as to how much the percentage of increase labor cost shown for the yard service can be reduced. "In road service, actual experience has shown a much less maucd change in operation, but considering the repeated statement of represent atives of the railroads that train op eration would not be affected by the eight-hour law, the replies of ( the carriers were somewhat surprising in revealing hundreds of instances Of an actual shortening of the hour of road employes. On the eastern roads in slo. freight service the actual time of engineers on duty is from 12 to It hours per run and considerably let, in- the south and west, the report shows. In both slow and fast'freight service the engineers - are running about ten , hours a day. Pointing out that the speed baifc of the actual eight hour day Is ap proximately twelve and a half milt s an hour, the report concludes: v "A rallroad1 cannot speed up all tho freight trains to twelve and a half miles. an hour. Including delay, by any universal method. But by close attention to the problem or re ducing delays and with sufficient in centive the-! conditions as to hou a of work. road, train service can bt Improved to local conditions."
