STATE INSURANCE COMMIS-
SIONER'S REPORT
tween State and Territorial
Administration^
Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 13.—The re-
port of T. J. MoComb, State Insur-
ance Commissioner, made to the Gov-
ernor June 30th, 1909, covering the
first half year of 1909 reveals a won-
derful increase in the receipts of
that office. The report shows that
from Fire Insurance Companies there
was received during this period, $91,-
835.68; from Life Insurance Compan-
ies, $50,946.75; from miscellaneous
companies, $13,459.78, making a total
of $156,272.20.
This, it must be remembered, is
the receipts for six months. The re-
port shows that the total receipts for
the year 1907, during which most of
the time it was the Territory of Ok-
lahoma, the office received from all
sources, $20,806. In the year 1908,
under the old Territorial law, the of-
fice receive,] $08,834.30. Under the
new law, as shown above, the re-
ceipts are $156,272.20. This is an in-
crease over 1907 of about fifteen hun-
dred per cent.
The expenditure of this depart-
ment as compared with the receipts
is very small, indeed. Including $2,-
333.39 paid on 'accounts that accrued
in the year 1908 for furniture and
fixtures which vas made necessary
by the failure of the First Legisla-
ture to provide for Me fitting up of
this department, the total expenae
for the first half year of 1909 is $8,
381.87, or, a little over five per cent
of the receiots of the department.
The Insurance Commissioner feels
sure that the receipts for next yesr
will be much larger than they have
been this year because of the steady
growth of the insurance business
througcut the state.
BATTING PRACTICE

REGULAR SOX SECOND SACKED
Jake At*, a product of the South-
ern league, la the regular second baee-
man of the Chicago White Sox this

sack has been first-class thus far, but
he Is weak with the bat. Last seaaon
he played the utility role for the team
and he Is able to fill any position in the

Player Who Can Hold His Nerve While
Facing the Pitcher Is Successful
Batsman—No Set Law Regarding
Position at the Plate; Most Natural
One the Best.
A good hitter is the combination ot
confidence, a good eye and a knowl-
edge of how to land on the ball.
Not many poor hitters are turned
into good hitters after they come up
into the big league. If they haven't
developed the skill by that time in-
struction doesn't help them much. But
with boys it's different. They are just
starting. They haven't faults to cor-
rect; that is, no faults that have be-
come second nature. And while every
boy can't become a slugger, neverthe-
less such a one, if he works intelli-
gently, can get enough hits so that he
will be able to maintain his place and
turn his infielding or outfielding abili-
ties to advantage.
Teams do not get enough batting
practice. This is one reason why we
don't see more good hitters. Watch a
lot of boys getting in shape for the sea
son. The infield is handling ground-
ers and throwing the ball around. The
outfielders are catching flies. Pitchers
and catchers are working together.
But how often do you see the boys
taking turns at hitting, while the pitch-
ers send up the best speed and curves
they have, and the other members of
the team in the regular positions chase
the balls?
It isn't much fun to practice this
way. There is a whole lot of waiting.
The men in the infield and outfield
have to wait a long while for a ball to
come their way. There is lots more
fun in other kinds of practice, but it is
this batting work that wins games.
You can't hit without practice, all
the time, early and iate. If you d^n't
get this kind of work when you go up
against good pitching, it is new to you
You don't know what to do, and before
you get accustomed to the speed and
curves the pitcher has you beaten.
The worst batters in the world are
pitchers. They are Jokes, as a rule,
and the reason is easy to see. Thej
get virtually no batting practice. If
*n want to hit the ball, get out and
practice doing it.
First of ail, you must have confl-
dence. Never let the pitcher think he
has anything on you. Make up your
mind that he Is nothing more than any
other twirler and that he has to put
the ball within your reach to get a
strike. Let him do the worrying, es-
pecially If there are men on bases.
The man who feels comfortable at
the plate, cool and collected, no matter
who he faces, has made a big start la
the right direction.
The man who pulls away, whiit
dodges from every ball that threatens
to come anywhere near h'm, has th
worst of any faulta. Unless he can ca*
rect it, he never will bat well.
Because a ball is coming straight at
you is no reason for pulling away. Per-
haps it may be a curve ball that may
break and go straight over tbe plate.
You pull and It is a strike, or evea !
If you manage to hit It when you arc I
pulling away, you are not in a position j
to get any power on the drive, and are" I
an easy out
The habit of pulling away caa be ;
remedied, but it takes nerve. Teach ,
yourself to step into the ball before H
reaches the plate.
There Is no law for position. Bat-
ters stand in all kinds of ways. Men
like Keeler and Stone bend way over
the plate. Lajoie stands almost '
straight. There are all kinds of varia-
tions. Tbe thing to do Is to take the
position that seema natural and com-
fortable to you. Then don't let the
pitcher scare you out of it.
Many foxy twirlers will shoot a ball
close to you every once In a while to
make you get away from the plata.
Don't let them get away with It. Walt
to the very last secoiid before dodging
Don't use too heavy a baL It is a
mistaken nation fiat only a heavy club
will drive a ball out. A pitcher with t
change of pace can make a joke
of a batsman who is swinging a bat too
heavy for him. Use a bat of medium
weight, one that you can handle eaBlly
You don't have to swing so hard either.
All that is needed Is to meet the ball
fairly, to get the weight of your body
back of It the moment you land

JEFF SURPRISED AT
ACTION OF BERGER
SAYS HE MAY NOT KEEP CON
TRACT FOR FIGHT
' 'No One Haa Any Authority to Sign
Me for Match With Johnson,"
Is His Statement
Plymouth, Aug. 13.—James J. Jeff-
ries on arriving here today from New
York appeared to be surprised to
learn that his representative, Sam
Beiger, haj signed an agreement in
Chicago yesterday for a champion-
ship fight between Jack Johnson and
Jeffries.
"No cue has any authority," saio
Jeffries, "to make any such arrange-
ments in my absence. I have nothing
to say about ray fight with Johnson.
The match will eome off if I have at.y
tbign to do with it. As to the dare
when it will take place it may be in
six months and it may be earlier or
even later, but tbe sooner the better"
•Chicago. Aug. 13.—S'am fkrger,
noting as the representative of Jame<
J. Jeffries was unperturbed by the
report that his authority to repre-
sent the big fighter haj been rcpuli-
ated by Jeffries.
"Jeffriea has undoubtedly been
misinformed as to what was done yes-
terday and believes that I concluded
a final agreement with Johnson,"
said Berger. "I have telegraphed to
him just what I did in negotiating
preliminary arangements as he has
given me specific authority to do. The
agreement signed yesterday is not
and never was considered by le
final. Indeed in its wording it refers
to the settlement of the final details
after the club offer is accepted.
"The agreement contains only tha
preliminary articles and I am satis-
fied that Jeffries will approve what I
have done."
SENATOR TO DEFENSE
OF SECY BALLENGER
S'pokane, Wash., Aug. 13.—John E.
Wilson, former United State* sena-
tor from Washington, and John Far-
son, a millionaire banker of Chicago,
today came to the defense of Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger before
the National Irrigation congress, and
succeeded in keeping the so-called
Ballinger Pinchot feuj in the public
eye.
Dr. Pardue, who brought the charge
against Ballinger, again accused that
officer of permitting the opening for
on try of valuable water power sites.
At the forenoon session W. W.
Ferrell o£ Fcrrcll, Idaho, attacked
Uio Washington Power company,
which aapplie< power to the city of
Spokane.
'I have been a settler in Idaho
for twenty-five yaara," ho shouted,
"and there are many who har<c work-
ed bar^ to make homes. And now
after a quarter of a ccntury the-
Washington Power company, one of |
th em any which threatens our very
lives, has dawned up out valley, over-
flowed our lands, drowned our our
crops, and many are about to lose
their very means of livelihood.
"I am not an anarchist, but I want
to say thefre are men in my town who
will smash that dam with dynamite
and send a forty foot wall of water
down this valley, and what will hap-
pen to Spokane will make tbe John-
stown flood look like a common shed-
ding of tears if something is not
done."
PV>rmcr Senator T. Wilson then got
np.
'' There may be those who do wrong
in this land," he shouted. "There
may be water power companies (hat
disobey the law, but I want to say
here, I stand for Richard M. Ballin-
ger and I shall hear no man say he
is dishonest."
JVHEN YOU TAKE HER
OUT TO THE GAME
When you take her out to the ball (_
And you're packed In the stand with ttM
crowd.
ian't It nice to have her aak you
In a voice that la fearfully loud:
What makes that player who throws the
ball
Wave his arms like that?"
And—"Don't you think It's mean la then
Not iettlnc the umpire bat?"
And when a home player steals secead
and third
By a slorlous slide to the base.
Six says: "it's cruel tor the crowd to
cheer
When that pour fellow fell on his faca."
Then you try to explain, and shs aayat
"Oh. I seel But why don't the raM at
the players
Wear an aproa ts kea their suits slsa*
Llka tha maa with the n
wearer'
And—"Why 4* you say the pltchaC* as
good
When he's hit tine tha bat every titter*
And—"Why don't the poUcemaa aiM
them?
Isn't stealing bases a crlmeT" I
Then, after you've answered thea* jusa
tlons
And two or three million mora,
Tou ask In the crowd as you go out the
(ate
To and out what was tha acora.
