TAS FULL POWER TO PROVE RAIL EXPENDITURES Washington, D. C., Nov. 6.—The ‘su- preme court held today that.the Tn- terstate Commerce commission has practically unlimited powers to in- vestigate the activities and expendi- tures of railroads. The decision was rendered in the case of President Milton H. Smith and other officials of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, who contested the commission's authority to require them to answer questions regarding the company’s political activities and contributions. The court decided that a carrier has the right to mold or en- ligthen public opinion, but that its conduct is open to inquiry. The opinion is the first definition of the wide powers conferred on the commission, by congress in 1910, which the railroads have always de- nied. It declares flatly that the in- vestigating and supervising powers of the commission extend to all activities of the carriers and to all sums_ex- pended by them “which could affect in any way their benefit or burden as agents of the public.” The case grew out of an inquiry in- stitupted by the commission last year into the Louisville and Nashville's al- leged: political activity, its relations with. other cariers and its efforts to affect public opinion relative to rate reductions. The railroad officials re- fuse to reply to certain questions, claiming powers were statutory and MINUTE MEN OF By PAUL PURMAN. The return of Michigan to the west- ern conference and the attempt to state a post-season game between Chi- cago and Michigan recalls. one of the greatest records of western football, both in its inception and realization and its unfortunate culmination. The record referred to. is. that of Fielding Yost’s at Michigan, beginning in 1901 and ending witn Chicago’s 2 to 0 defeat of the Wolverines in 1905, a defeat which caused an upheaval in the western conference and resulted in. Michigan leaving the Big Hight. During those years Michigan did not suffer a defeat and piled up a total of about 3,000 points against all opponents who registered less than 100 against the Yost machine. It was the day of Willie Heston, of Boss Weeks, of Babe Carter, Dan Mc-} Gugin and others whose names will! go vown in the football hall of fame; so Jong as the game is played on; American college gridirons. These were the famous teams of which Yost demanded and received “a! point a ininute,” slogan which gave! him the name of Hurry-up Yost. . Since 1205 Yost has developed won-; derful teams. Unadle to get games in the western conference he has been; forced to play smaller schools in the middle west to drive for his big east ' ern games, usually with Cornerr, Penn sylvania and Syracuse. Yost’s choice as coach of Michigan was indirectly due to the illness of a player on the Ohio Wesleyan team of 1897. Yost was coaching the Ohio col- lege at that time and when he started with his squad to Ann Arbor for the) GAi¢higan game found he had just 11 did not extend to such investigations. The lower court, at the commission’s request ordered them to answer whereupon they appealed. ASSOCIATED CHARITY = STILL ON THE JOB Charitable work now being done by the Salvation Army should not be con- fused with the Associated Charity which is now efficiently administered and officered. Father Hiltner is presi- dent; O. E. Anderson, secretary and John Yegen, treasurer. This organization was formed re- cently at a public meeting and is car- ing for needy cases as fast as they are reported and can be investigated. SPORT CHATTER “BULL” PULLS A ZIM. Bull Muldoon was a husky loon Always ready to fight with any tramp. But he struck it tough—they used him rough In a U. S. army service camp. He watched with glee a football spree And opined “that is pretty soft for me.” “Yl knock 'em dead,” Bull Muldoon said “Til mix up in this gay soiree.” Now Shorty Dunn was a son-of-a-gun He weighed one-five in his army race But he learned his game and earned his fame ‘Under the eyes of old Coach Sages. “The ground Ill wipe with that little snips” Said Bull Dunn. And he chortled with joy as he plan. ned to toy With Shorty the pygmy son-of-a-gun. Muldoon as he sized up Rut Shorty Dunn had all the fun. He kicked Bull’s ribs and he climbed his frame. He broke a few bones and laughed at Bull’s groans. And Bull had enough of the football game. MIGHT TRY IT. The kaiser might. call the war in- formal after he’s licked and save himself a lot of trouble. Matty says he would like to get Buck Herzog. August Herrmann says he doesn’t want Herzog. Which is about the wisest thing Augie has ever sald, considering Herzog’s popularity in Cincy. Freddie Welsh. is planning a come: back. We would advise Freddie to bay a few pies and train with Charley Chaplin. FABLE. Jess Willard appeared at a training camp today and offered either to help train the Sammies without pay or to go to France as a private. Now that we have informal foot- ball teams we must go a bit further with these suggestions: Informal eges—the kind that pop when you erack ‘em; informal poker games— where you don’t pay if you lose in- formal prize fights;,.for Al McCoy and Jess Willard; informal automobile. accidents—you don’t have to pay flamages, etc., etc, etc.- men who could qualify as football players. Arriving at Ann Arbor one; of the men suddenly became ill. Wes- leyan agreed to play if Michigan would permit Yost to fill in. Michi- gan, needing practice and anticipating an easy victory, consented. Owing to the skill and finesse with which Ycst played the game the game ended @ scorefess tie. A few years later when, ‘Michigan needed a coach Yosts playing was remembered and he was secured. Yost was born in Fairview, W. Va., April 20, 171, and after the usual high school training entered Ohio Northern; University. The next year he enter- ed West Virginia university, where he played tackle in 1894 and 1895, going to Lafayette in 1896. The next year he coached at Ohio mesloyan and won the Ohio State title. Championships then became a mania with the smiling Yost. In 1898 he coached Nebraska and won the Missouri Valley conference title, in 1899 he went to Kansas, beat Nebras- ka and again won the title. In 1900 he won the Pacific Coach title for Le-] land Stanford and found time to coach San Jose Normal school into the normal school championship and Lowell High of San ‘Francisco, to the FOOTBALL Prep school ‘title contest embracing 28 schools. The next year Yost went to Michi- gan and for three years won the con- ference title, losing it the fourth year in the game with Chicago. When he is not coaching fogtball teams Yost is busy with his oil inter- ests in Kentucky. Born in the oil district of West Vir- ginia, Yost has always followed the oil fields. He is also interested in a hydro-electric power company in Ten- nessee. Sport Gossip Chicago, Nov. 6.—Although the an- nual meeting of the stockholders of the National club here was post- poned officially to Nov. 15, the major- lity stockholders held a session with Chas. Weeghman, president of the club today, and passed on plans for next year. Weeghman was allowed $2,000,000 for the purchase of new players for 1918. The season’s loss- es were totalled and were said by baseball writers to be in the neigh- borhood of $250,000, although this fig- ure was not confirmed. A. D, Las- ker, one of the directors, denied a recurring rumor that Weeghman and Mitchel are to be displaced. Weeghman told the stockholders that two big deals are in the fire.
