Judge Cooley said that the lawful power of the state to limit the rates of transportation is now acknowledged. If the government owned the railroads it would be a comparatively simple matter to regulate rates, for it might establish a standard of rates which seemed expedient. Such action might arouse criticism, it might involve political complications, but it would simply be on the analogy of our laws relating to taxation.

The work of the nine agains professionals was, to say the least, discouraging, although, when we take into consideration all the disadvantages under which the nine played, not so unsatisfactory as many seem to think. The infield is very weak and the team as a whole bat very poorly, The great advantage of these professional games is to bring out the weak points of the team and especially to develop steadiness of play. The games during the recess have showed, that without incessant hard work...
