HEAVIER THAN GERMAN Naval Experts Believe 28-Mile Range ef Kaiser's New Gan Is Dis- counted by Weight. WASHINGTON, Jan. %.—Lack of data concerning the projectile-hurling ability of the new German naval 16-inch gun which has caused s0 much discussion in Pngland, does not, according to naval experts here today, permit of a close comparison between it and the new American naval gun of the same call- ber now under test at Indian Head, Md. It appears, however, that whereas the German projectile, with a velocity of 3040 feet per second, has a slight advan- tage over the American 16-inch shell in speed, the latter weighing 2150 pounds, is more than 100 pounds heavier than the German shot and consequently will have @ greater striking energy and more penetrative power in steel armor. The maxim of the Navy Department as out by an expert is to equip ‘American battleships with the smallest and lightest gun that will penetrate at ranges within vision—which ia under 28 armor that can be * 4° eaiaet. = @ \ . & as| miles—the carried on the énémy’s shtps. *ft is. be- lieved that this object has been réalized in the new naval 14-inch guns, which is being placed on the largest. dread- noghts.

David Hennessy and G. G. Gibson. Patrick R. FitzGibbon, former City Register, who had charge of circulating the petitions, accompanied the committee. Refuses to State the Cost. When Fitscibbon was asked if the names cost 5 cents each he said: “©, it didn’t cost very much.’ He re- fused to state the exact amount. Under the new charter a petition containing the names of at least 2 per cent of the registered voters at the last mayoralty election is re- quired at the beginning of such pro- posed action. The present petition contains about 3000 more names than necessary for this first step. During the next 10 days the Elec- tion Commissioners will have the lists» which consist of 161 papers, checked over to ascertain if the names are genuine. Within 30 days after that the peti- tioners must presert a supplementary petition, bringing the percentage of the petitioners up to 7 per cent of the regis- tered voters at the last mayoralty elec- tion. This then puts the question up to a vote at the next regular election November, 1916 Petitions containing 12 per cent of the voters will bring abo a special election within the next Expects Most of Names to Stand. FitzGibbon said that-he did not think more than 5 per cent of the namés on the petition would be strieken out. The petitions were first circulated among the residents and property own- ers in the proposed parkway district. and then over the entire city.

MAYORS ON THE | | | LINF{S They Exchange Greetings Over 3400 Miles After Inventor Gets Connection. NEW YORK, Jan. 2%.—A formal try- out yesterday of the New York-to-San Francisco direct telephone line with the inventor of the telephone and the Pres- ident of the United States and Mayors of the two cities and other dignitaries talk- ing into transmitters and listening into receivers, proved that the system works perfectly. In about a month or so anyone with $20.70 handy may call up San Francisco and exchange generalities for three min- utes, after which $6.75 per succeeding minute must be handed over. The open- ing of the system for commercial busi- ness will be late in February or early in March. In the office of the president of the American Telegraph and Telephone late yesterday afternoon Alexander Gra- ham Bell, the white-haired inventor uf the instrument, began the celebration of the line’s completion. Fle was sur- rounded by a group of the men who have helped improve and extend it. In the office at San Francisco sat Thom- as A, Watson, Bells aid, and a group of associates. Bell picked up his phone and asked: ‘‘Hello, Mr. Watson, are you there?’ His face beamed as he caught a re- ply. “All right,’’ he went on, “I hear your voice as distinctly as if you were in the other. room, or in another part of New York. Oh, yes. I remember very well the time that we talked over two miles of wire and thought it was a wonderful thing, back in 1875. Here we are talking over. 3400 miles.’’ The inventor picked up an ancient contraption that looked like a wooden bird cage with a coil of wire inside and continued: “Now, Mr. Watson, I want to switch in. another telephone—a dupli- cate of the one you first made for me, the original of which is in the Smith- sonian Institution.. Let’s see how this 1875. model works. Hello (using the an- tique ‘devyice), do you hear me? You hear me petfectly? What wonderful progress has been made by the Bell sy sterm.’’ In the president’s room and in ad- joining chambers more than a hundred listeners, with individual instruments, heard the interchange of remarks.

The secon stranger agreed to pay that price, but said he did not have the cash with him. He asked Altman to loan him $240 and take the earrings as se- curity.

Babson Blames Absentee Corporation Management. ROGER BABSON, statistician and economist—The greatest handicap labor and capital have today is absentee ownership. The present unrest among workers and the small return upon capital are due to control in the hands of small groups—men who try to run big businesses from desks in 20-story of- fice buildings. Strikes seldom come against the man who has built up his own business and lives in the town where his success has been won. I’d cut out proxies. I'd have the annual meetings held at the mill, and cut out those in the 20-story office building. “No Man Can Do Good Work Longer Than 8 Hours,” Says Ford. HENRY FORD, head of the Ford Motor Corpora- tion of Detroit, who was himself a hired mechanie until a few years ago, when he began to revolutionize the auto- mobile building industry: The increased efficiency of the men under the Ford. corporation's profit-sharing plan has been from 15 to 20 per cent with reference to work produced, which is fur- ther emphasized when you con- sider that the improvement was made in an eight-hour day ver- sus the comparison in a nine-hour day. . Fear ana worry in the struggle for a livelihood to properly pro- vide for home and dependents, with the dread of what might happen if the job is lost, have practical- ly been eliminated. I do not think that any man.can do good work mentally and physically for more than eight hours per day. “Something Is Fundamentally Wrong,” Says Rockefeller’s Son. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER JR., only son of ihe richest man in the world and hie personal repre- sentative and agent in all his personal and financial affairs: The responsibilities of stock- holders is practically limited to the election of directors. They have no power to elect officers, to employ labor, to make con- tracts or to intervene directly in the management of the business. A large stockholder is able to ex- ercise considerable moral influ- ence over the directors and of- ficers and is responsible for ex- ercising that influence properly. As to the Colorado strike itself, given me the deepest concern. I frankly confess that I felt there was something fundamentally wrong ina condition of affairs which rendered possible the loss of human lives, engendered hatred and bitterness and brought suffering and privation upon hundreds of human beings.

Rock- efeller pointed out that Ford was mak- ing millions of dollars of profit every year, but that the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. was “‘not making retufns to ite stockholders.’’ Some of the officers of the Colorado Fuel and fron Co., Rockefeller said, were trying to help the employes. He did not know whether they were directing their efforts in the best way. “Do you believe, then, an indus- trial corporation should select teach- ers for its employes?’ Chairman Walsh asked. “I do, if there wére ho other way to proyide a teacher. In fact, in isolated I think it would be the duty of a company to furnish school teachers.” Walsh asked Rockefeller whether he thought it legal and right for corpora- thons to use a “black list.’’ The witness said he believed » ‘a corporation might that he did not welleve ‘the lst should the, Coles od | la of Sota +; = aaah fake oad director, would try to have the exec- utive removed.

Welborn had at first suggested tiat “three safe men” could be picked by the company to represent the employes. King’s plan provided for Democratic representation on a committee to take up all questions with the owners. of the company. Twenty-five men, elected by ballot, the witness said, were on the committee now, Rockefeller added that it was obvious the last named’ plan was the better. He thought the plan would’ “immensely im- Prove the situation.” He said he did not know whether he would accord to the committee the right to affiliate with similar committees in Colorado. During the luncheon hour Rockefeller notified his staff that he wanted them to withdraw the private and central of- fice detectives who have been guarding him since yesterday.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.—When the Rev. Billy Sunday, evangelist and for- mer basebal] player, was told that St. Louis ministers had voted to invite him ts conduct a revival meeting in St. Louis and was asked if he would com- ply, he replied: “‘If the city meets the cenditions required in the way of a suitable place for holding our meetings, and the clergy and business men of the city will give their promise of hearty support, I will consider a definite call to St. Louls when I receive it.” “New York is after me. So are Bos- ton, Cincinnati and Duluth. I may go to New York, Boston or St. Louis at “almost any time. But I will not go to any city unless the invitation is backed up by the unanimous vote of the min- isters of all denominations. When I was eppealed to come to Philadelphia I was under agreement to go to Omaha, but Philadelphia made such a strong appeal that I got, Omaha to consent to a postponement.”’ A delegation of 400 New York minis- ters is coming here on Thursday to at- tend the Sunday meeting in the big frame tabernacle and urge on Sunday the great need for the evangelist’s im- mediate campaign in New York. Sunday ‘alls New York the ‘“‘modern Babylon”’ and is most anxious to tackle sin there. Sunday’s campaign here has five more weeks to run. The Philadelphia Inquirer recently pri.ted a “deadly parallel’ contributed | by a reader, in which an oration deliv- ered May 2, 1912, by Billy Sunday before old soldiers at Beaver Falls, Pa., was shown to. be virtually word for word with a stirring Decoration day oration delivered in 1882 by Robert Ingersoll at selaer Smith, given in memory of Mrs. Nugent's father, the late Clarence E.

SAUNDERS, -§ WLIAN ELTINGE in “The Crino. 3 line Girl,” which began a week’s engagement before a large audi- ence at the Olympic Theater last night, now achieves the peculiar distinction of being the only man in the world who plays both the hero and the heroine role in melodrama. It is true that the Otto Hauerbach play is not all melodrama—there is a lot of farce in it and the star has oppor- tunity to sing several songs—but it has a marked melodramatic trend and, at. 118 Close, ‘he hero triumphs in the good old fashion and all’s well that ends well. Playwright Hauerbach, who also wrote “The Fascinating Widow’’ for Mr. Ei- tinge’s use in past seasons, has evolved a stronger story in the present instance. Its central figure is a versatile young chap, who, finding it imperatively nec- essary that he shall be the possessor of $10,000 in ordér to win.the girl whom he loves, sets himself the task of gain- ing this amount in the shape of a re- ward offered for the capture of the per- petrators of a big jewel robbery. To accomplish this feat he finds it neces- sary to disguise himself as a young woman throughout most of the story's progress. Here, of cvuurse, Star Eltinge is in his own unchallenged field, and again he re- veals his amazing knack of seeming the daintiest anit most beautiful of youns women. Again, also, his display @ love- ly gowns ard his incredibly feminine way of wearing them is impressive and. seemingly, of peculiarly vital interest io the women in his audiences. He sings, too, in a fulk and colorful contralto, his new song-hits provoking enthusiastt: applause. The one danger point now uwpparent is that he is grow ing a bit too fat, but he still dances gracefully and with astonishing light- ness of movement, his achievement to this end in “That Tempting Tango” scoring the big hit of last night’s per- formance. The company in support of the star is well chosen and effectively cast and the play’s interesting story is told with al! necessary ¢e:rphasis. The piece receives a handsome production and, as a suc- vessor to ‘Fhe Fascinating Widow.”’ seems fully to meet the expectations of the large Eltinge following. “THE WALTZ DREAM” AT PARK, J. Humbird Duffy, a tenor with ‘a New York success to his credit, sang “Love's Roundelay” at the Park The- ater last night as it was never before sung in St. Louis. This alone would have | justified his special engagement to take | the leading role in Oscar Strauss’ melvo-— dious Viennese operetta, “The Waltz, Dream.”’ | Vocally, the much-heralded' star. proved himself to be of the first mag- nitude. His opening solo, ‘‘Love Cannot ; be Bopght,’’ won the favor of the audi: | ence and prepared it for the rare treat. of listening, at intervals through a happy evening, to one of the best tenor voices on the Americen stage. There may be differences of opinion | as to whether J. Humbird Duffy meets | the physical and dramutic requirements of the role in which he was cast as Niki, the dashing young Austrian lieu- tenant, but these differences were al) forgotten when he sang. Scarcely less pronounced than Duffy's | triumph was that of Miss Mabel WI!'-' ber, in the role of Franzi Steingruber | Viennese orchestra leader, who wins the) love of Niki on the night of his mar-! riage to the Prncess Helene, and then wth rare generosity teaches the prin-, cess how to win back Niki’s love. Miss Sarah Edwards, as Fredericke. ' and Miss Louise Allen, as Fifi, the bass drummer, added spirit and melody to the most ambitious offering yet give’ by the excellent Park Theater Opera company.

Please help the poor people on South Third ptréet. Sometime ago there was a great talk about baving running water on every floor and light in hallways after 6:30. Now these poor people pay high rent for these huts, with no water on the second floor and the hallway is so dark and narrow you cannot see init after 4:30. ' No wonder there is so much sickness when there ' jg no running wateronevery floor and no wonder ' 60 many crimes are committed in these dark haliways. I am a collector in this part of the city, and I think it {s a shame to our city to allow it ~ to eontinue, and as I read in your paper of hav- ‘ ing done so much for the worthy poor I feel as I “stovid write and ask your paper to help these worthy people. ; EB.

Having been one of the very last of the -bills considered at. the 1913 session, the St. Louis police salary grab bill became one of the first considered at the 1915 session. If the famous lobby has been active in the meantime it worked to little purpose. The bill was defeated in the House Monday by a yote of 58 to 73. Defeat is the ordinary fate of this bill when- ever the issue ever has been pressed at Jefferson City. Any further movement to raise a lobby fund in St. Louls for ite revival should be promptly suppressed. Far too much of the time and attention of the Legislature has already been devoted to ft. — If the present session is to accomplish what ig expected of it, no more time should be wasted in attempts to jam the measure through in de- fiance of sentiment. a PUTTING YOU ON YOUR HONOR. There’s one highwayman in St. Louis who per- mits his victims to search themselves. Sunday evening he accosted a Mr. Gradenoroff of South St. Louis, requested him to search himself, and accepted $6.70 from him with the assurance it was all he could find on himself. The nobility of one man calls forth all that is noble in another. Magnanimity compels mag nanimity. Put thus upon his honor, Mr. Gradeno- roft, we assume, held nothing out. The idea is very beautiful. It.is thus that the Government assesses and collects from its victims for taxation purposes. There is no practical advantage in being put upon your honor unless you cheat, but in deal- ing with a thief one would not wish to occupy a lower plane than he, while to have a thief dis- cover that one had taken a dishonest advantage of him would be mortifying to a man of high principle anf nice ethical sense. To disappoint a thief’s implicit confidence in one’s honesty—a touching confidence—and to set him a bad ex- ample were a moral offense repugnant to re- sponsibility. In dealing with a Government in the act of letting you search yourself, and your conscience, you are dealing with an impersonal entity, not a mortal creature susceptible to the influence of moral @éxample. Furthermore, it cannot hit you over the head or bore you full of holes ff it sub- sequently finds out you have kept back some of your valuables. You can cheat ft with impunity. On the whole it is a much greater test of virtue te fill out an assessment blank with nothing but a perjury statute staring you in the face. But virtue is always {ts own reward, not to mention good policy, and a clear conscience is greater than riches. i, ip >=] A GOOD FOUNDATION. The community trust organized by the St. Louis Tnion Trust Co. is broad in its scope. It offers opportunity to citizens with large and small means to contribute to the funds and they wil! be concentrated for application to any good pur- pose beneficial to the city. There need be no longer hesitation on the part of citizens to give or bequeath small sums for the public benefit. Small bequests will be combined with large and the fond will be utilized by a carefully selected commission. Within a year a simflar trust fm Cleveland re- received a large sum. St. Louis fs a wealthy city and should not fall behind Cleveland. If the trust shall stimulate public generosity towards the municipality it will perform a signal service. ‘The men who have planned and organized the trust have laid a foundation upon which a great structure may be erected. They have made a beginning which holds large possibilities. ah hi i THE BUY-A-LOBSTER MOVEMENT. _ The $6000 cost of cabaret features at the Capri Bnd Great White Way, which is the chief of St. Louis’ remaining Great White Ways, ee ae Se trem tree of the following description after the war been in progress a month: sen food a in Newberg and fowl diminished. t as many came to occupy seats at tables gat just as long enjoying the thumb wear on the page of the menu giving the wine list showed an astonish- Ah a ee Ce ee ae bata, tee will earn the gratitude of all Missourians ex-,. gT.

The chronic failure of many owners of property, particularly vacant property, to clear snow and foe from the sidewalks suggests the wisdom of a change of method in handling this important work, Every fall of snow or sleet is followed by just cémplaints of the condition of sidewalks. There ts a clamor for action by the suthorities and by the time the snow or sleet has melted, the machinery of law to compel property owners to clean their neglected sidewalks is put in motion. The result of this condition bears hard on the public. Walking is bad. Parts of the sidewalks are cleaned and parts are not cleaned. The pe- destrian has to plunge into snowdrifts or follow narrow foot trails through them. The uncleaned parts of thd sidewalks become icy or sloppy as the weather changes. Discomfort always and in- jury frequently are caused. The condition is like that which prevailed when property owners contracted for street sprinkling. Streets were like checker boards, with alternate stretches of dust and mud. The public and the ness or neglect of the bad property owner. The Post-Dispatch wiped out these intolerable conditions by a long but successful campaign for municipal street sprinkling. The change should be made from private to public sidewalk clean- ing. The sidewalks belong to the city and should bo cleaned as the streets are cleaned and at the same time. Municipal sidewalk cleaning would be more eco- nomical and efficient. Sidewalk and street. would be cleaned in one operation. The work could ke completed as promptly as official energy and efficiency permitted. There would be no waiting on neglectful or willful property owners. They would pay for ft in taxes and the cost would be less. It may be objected that the city has no money for additional work. Municipal ash collection awaits funds. We do not expect always to be without municipal funds. It takes time to change the antiquated system. Begin the work of legisla- tion now. THE HUMAN PAOTOR. Baltimore’s City Council voted $45,000 to be paid in wages to heads of families out of work. Hach man applying for work is investigated. If found to be the breadwinner for a family he is certified by the Alderman from his ward and gets three days’ work weekly, at $2 for an eight-hour day. The Baltimore idea is to protect the home against either the bitter bread of charity or actual want from involuntary idleness. Unmarried men, not sick, are required to rustle their own rations, ‘ Baltimore exhibits the fact that sensible offt- cilals can get good results even under an antiquated city charter. St. Louis, doting nothing to hasten public work as a means of providing employment for idle men, exhibits the fact that it takes more than a good charter to get right action in an emergency. a. _ SAVINGS WOULD EUY THE SHIPS. ~ Secretaries McAdoo and Redfield tell the Sen- ate the excessive charges on this country’s over- seas business during December totaled over f18,- 000,000. Nearly all of this went to European ship owners. The January overcharge fs expected to exceed $20,000,000. The December overcharge would have paid for 40 10,000-ton merchant ships. The January over- charge would buy another 40 or 45 of them. The savings on foreign sea fréights alone, for only two months, would more than pay for the rational merchant marine fleet which the Presi- dent asks Congress to authorize. Apparently Senators Lodge, Gallinger, et al. would rather have that $18,000,000 to $20,000,000 a month of excess charges paid to the Furopean ship owners than to s¢e it invested in American merchant marine. | The placing of two or three Government-owned ships on each mafn trade route, charging only fair rates would check the gouging and save American farmers and merchants $200,000,000 or more in a year. Will the distinguished Senators kindly tell the country why they entertain that extraordinary preference? Why does the prospect of seeing the American flag floating above American ships, officered and manned by Americans, pain these great states- men so profoundly? = = ~~ = BH KIND TO ME. HARROP. A citizen with an Irish name asks, “Whom does Mr. Harrop represent—the Public Service Com- mission or the United Railways?” tnkind things have been said of Mr. Harrop, ‘who, as consulting engineer of the Public Service Commission, has responsibility and power over the comfort, health and safety of St. Louisans, though he !s not a citizen, which not even the Mayor possesses. Not long ago, a number of im- provement sssociations in certain southwestern suburbs publicly denounced Engineer Harrop be- railway transportation with a line or two, in his report to the commission, to the effect that they had the services of the Frisco suburban trains. St. Louisans should understand that the Public Serv- ice Commission is a very busy body and must rely very largely upon what fts engineer recommends. Now that St. Louis has no representative on the ‘Wubiie Bervice Board, it's more than ever neces- sary to treat Mr. Harrop with the distinguished consideration due to so powerful a personage.

OW that Billy Sunday is to come to St. Lonis, N ‘we shall both have to conduct ourselves to the end of ascertaining what is worth while in each other. There have been objections on both sides, and, so far as we are able to judge, they have been pretty well founded, The Rev. Billy is no Chesterfieldian pulpiteer, nor is St. Louis a rose gar- den. Nevertheless, we cannot help feeling on our own score that he will modify the cesspool of Hell statement. Idke most communities, We scale down from great heights to low depths. There are stand- ards of gentility in St. Lonis beyond the Rev. Billy’s comprehension, just as there are probably depths of degradation beneath almost anybody’s belief. That does not, however, constitute a césspool of Hell. There will no doubt be something taken back on both sides when we become better acquainted with one MAY MARCY BOWMAN, Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams another, and. ocr jesitithes-te Gi Mea eae Billy will take back that. Indeed, we would not be great- ly surprised if the community exercised some refin- ing influence upon the Rev. Billy while he is convert- ing it. We both need help. 4 PRAYER FOR HELP.

It had a pretty good cottage on it, bat he said that his i!) health and Jack of capital had prevented him from ‘working the place. He eked out a mere existance working as a flagman for a rafiroad.

(Copyright. 1915, by Press Pub. Co.) HAVANA, Cuba. Jan. 26. "VE been sitting out under a blazing sun all afternoon in Havana watch- ing a championship baseball game. Can you beat it? John McGraw sat in a box beside me. John just looked on. He says he is down here for a rest, not to lure back Armando Marsans to the O. B. fold. Says he wants to get away from baseball. But being in Havana. John couldn’t dodge the desire to see the Havanas and the Almendares piay, even if it did take him away from an afternoon’s golf at the Country Club. There’s a great riv- alry between Cuba's two strongest base- ball teams. Every time they meet it’s like the historical mingling of the fa- mous Kilkenny cats. And this was one of the contests in the series that will de- cide which is champion of Cuba. The Almendares’ ball park is only a short ride from the center of the city. All around are royal palms and other tropical trees. On the hill seen over left field stands a great grim stone fortress, the Castillo del Principe, one of the an- cient defenses of Havana. Here 200 or $00 yearg ago the Spaniards met after assault of native Indians, then of En- slish and French invauers, and then of marauding piratical hordes. Historic ground. Perhaps the flowers bloom red- der because of the blood-drenched soil of past centuries. I walked into the grounds accompanied by several Havana newspaper men, and as we passed along in front of the crowded stands a faint murmur rose, finally crashing into a cheer. I glanced ground. All eyes were turned our way. Hats were waving :n air. "Twas a Proud Moment. “They think you are Mathewson,” whispered one of the writers. My chest swelled several inches. It is something even to be mistaken for the great Matty here in the very home of the greatest baseball rooters on earth. But my friend shook his finger at the stands and called out: ‘iNwo—no. Not Matty.”’ The cheers died away into a low grow! of disappointment. My hat again dropped down to the immediate proximity of my ears and chest gently subsided. We climbed into the upper stand. The game was just beginning. The sun shone from a clear sky. It was hot. In the distance the biue hills and the waving palms melted gently into an azure horizon. I looked the teams over. The Ha- vanas, in white suits trimmed with red, were all white men. But on the Almendares team were several extreme- ly husky and undeniably dusky citizens, who looked as if they could wallop the ball over the end of the island. One was the great pitcher Pedroso, whose bulk and general build reminded me of Johnson, Langford and Joe Walcott all at once. If Pedroso was down there in Mexico traini for a crack at Jack Johnson, I wouldn’t know which to have bet on. He happened to be playing first base, for Cuban players are allround men and can play any position. Standing Who Would Fit Nicely Into Some O B Outfield. ee If Majors Win Suit, Marsans Will Hop Back CINCINNATI, Jan. 26. ([LLER HUGGINS, back from Havana, savs that Armando Marsans is waiting the outcome of the Feds trust-busting suit. If the Feds win, he will stick to them: if they lose, he will at once re- turn to the Reds and be imme- diately exchanged to St. Louis for Ivy Wingo. If Marsans does not come back, Hug will figure out some other equiva- lent for the clinging vine.

OOOO DOOD DODD a i il il iil at the bag, Pedroso could reach about seven feet with either hand and spear a flying ball as easy as any ordinary man could take a coffee cake from a platter. Betting a Side Line. Before the first inning was half over. I noticed a curious sound running through the stands. A player hit the ball. Instantly there was a roar of applause and encouragement, then a quick, chattering undertone. In a few seconds there came a jingling, clinking sound. The runner was on first. Crack, came another hit. The man on first started down toward second. The bat- ter was speeding to first. Came the short roar of applause, the staccato un- dertone. I leaned over the rail down at the stands below. Everything was in a flurry of excitement. Men were leaping into the air, waving their hands, with fingers oddly extended. Other men were leaning toward them, shaking digits excitedly in their faces. Suddenly came silence, and then all through the stand the odd_ clinking sound again. “That's the betting,’’ explained my Cuban friends. ‘“‘They bet on every- thing. When a run starts they offer odds that the runner will or won't reach first base. Just now the odds were 4 to 1 that the man on “(first wouldn’t reach second. They are set- tling up and getting ready to bet on the next play.’’ Some action. and looked A’play takes less than 10 seconds, and in that inconsiderable space of time odds are offered and wagers made. The clinking sound run- ning all through the stands was made by the losers digging into their pockets and passing over the loose silver they had wagered on the play. And when there was a misplay the losers good- humoredly jeered the unfortunate play-. er who was responsible for their losses. Milburn Saylor, now ranked with the near-championship flight of boxers in the lightweight division, fights at the Future City Athletic Club, here tonight against Joe Genail, a local boy, who has come up from the “‘amateur’’ class in days agone. : Genalil is a good boxer at his best, but a short time ago he would not have been given a chance with Saylor, who is supposed to have a weight ad- vantage as well as one of reputation. Genall’s victory over Matty McCue has boosted his stock since that time. The men will do 1% pounds at $8 o'clock, and Sayler has posted a $100 forfeit to do the weight at that hour today. Saylor was due in on a morn- ing train; Genail is here. ; Since Saylor boxed Harry Trendall here an eight-round draw about three years ago he has extensively and compete rat-class lightweights. | According to his ma r, Ray Bronson ylor ts boxing at his teat clip right now.

We sincerely trust that neith- er “Muggsy’’ or the ‘‘Rabbit’”” would contaminate their lunch hooks to such an extent that they would not come up to the sanitary requirements of the most exacting of Fedcral Judges. ™ s - dear, you the Speaking about Marsans, if the Fed- eral Court doesn’t wind itself by the terrible pace it has set in disposing of the suit, the case ought to be settled oy the time the third or fourth genera- tion of Marsans have arrived at a ball playing age. r . > Assuming that Walter Johnson will do most of his playing on the bench the coming summer we presume that if the Feds want to hale him into court they will have to apply for a bench warrant. . . * Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer bg John M.

Basket ball teams in the Tuesday division the Municipal League will in- augurate the second half of the sea- | son’s play with the weekly scheduled triple-header at the Police Department gymnasium, Twelfth street and Clark avenue, tonight. All three games should be evenly played and should result in close scores. In the first game at 7:30 p. m., the Keen Kutters and the Crescent A. C. quints will clash. There is very little to choose between thees fives, the Keen Kutters having but a one gameé advan- ' tage of the C. A. U. boys in the league standing. The North St. Louis Turners will take the floor with the National Club team. The Turners are topping the league with victories out of as many attempts. The Nationals played their first game last week, entering in place of the: Southern A. C., and made a creditable showing. New Idea Introduced. Each' team has still five games to play, that is, will play every other team in its division once. Then a three- game series between the winners in each division will be played for the city municipal title. In order that the entire league strength may be deter- mined it is planned to play one game between teams of similar standing in each’ division. These championship games will be played at some hall and an admission fee of 2% cents will be charged. The proceeds will be used in financing the proposed trip of the champions at the close of the season. SATURDAY adem: oe TEAM. Columbian A.

HE mills of baseball grind out some peculiar grist. ] may mention the mangled umpirical career of Garnet Bush, of St. Louis. Bush climbed to a major league job, but failed to hold it. to the Feds,, thereby laying the foundation of a lasting and fervent regret. Disobeying positive instructions in re- gard to benching players, Bush was soon dropped by the Federals. Caught between the Feds and the O B grinders, Bush’s future as an umpire was abso- lutely pulverized. Letters to the O B are unanswered; appeals to Federals to live up to their three-year contract with: him merely re- sult in having the 10-day release clause in it pointed out to him. “Finis” is written beside his name in big book of umpires. “IT ought never to have jumped,”’ is the philosophical comment of the vic- tim. “But I wouldn’t buy my way back into favor of the O. B., as did one Fed official, by snitching on the outlaws.” + + * Can’t Run the League, Garnet. B USH made a grave mistake with the Federals. He went there with the idea of umpiring a game without refer- nee to the limitations of a Fed League awe playing roster. He thought he was in a major league, and he treated insubordination very, very rudely, with fines and benching. - iia more was the stumbling o¢ inn aauaed his downfall. Bush tells it as follows: “Just before an important Baltimore series I received a telegram from Gil- more. It was first handed to Knabe, manager of the Baltofeds, to give to me. He read it through and then turned it over. This was the substance of it: “ ‘Important series in your care today. Don’t put any stars out.’ “Knabe got a line on that order and he and his men rode me even harder than usual. I think it was seven play- Anyhow I received an awful panning from Gil- more for it. But that Baltimore gang was the limit. “T broke the camel's back by putting out 29 men in three days, I think it was. After that I was told that my contract was no good and to ‘beat it. “But I can’t. There’s no way of beat- ing their game. I hada three-year con- tract that wasn’t good-for three minutes longer than they chose to keep me, MORAL: Before signing a con- ‘ tract. watch out for the CON. Representation for Players. RGANIZED BASEBALL magnates who attended the famous trial of the octopus at Chicago returned here confident that no radical changes in the structure of the game, as built up by National Agreement, would be necesary, President Hedges was asked if he thought giving the player representa tion on the National Commission would help matters any. “I hardly think so. The play- ers would then be represented by but one vote in four, and of course that influence would be negligible. However, I do not re- call that any request was ever officially made on behalf of the players for representation on the commission.” Nothing in It for Brickley. NE of the best little proofs that Charley Brickley will not act as coach of the Ames (lo.) State Col- lege eleven will be found in the fi- nancial statement of the Ames ath- letic department. This reports that the athletic association egan the glad new year with a deficit of over $400. A deficit seine in the matter of high-price coaches.

D LRECTOR.OF ATHLETICS BREW- ER of Missouri University sheds a little sidelight on that $50,000 expense account run up by Michigan U. In a recent report the above sum was set Among the rest we He flopped forth as the cost of football for a sin- gle season at Ann Arbor. “That $530,000, when analyzed, will be found to cover the guarantees to visit- ing teams, as well as other items which only indirectly concern the equipment and maintenance of the football squad. ‘The cost of bringing Cornell, Syra- cuse and Pennsylvania runs into the thousands, it must be rémembered, while the smaller elevens also receive good guarantees, all of which are count- ed in with the more legitimate items of expense. + Football Squad an Army. | A T that, the cost of turning out a football team is not the mere handling of 11 men and their expenses. At Michigan the squad which has to be equipped with uniforms, probably numbers ower 100. At Missouri U. we have had to equip that number with suits and outfits: and these are not cheap by any means. “The cost of balls alone is a more considerable-feature than many sup- pose. “We use close to 150 a year for practice-and games. “The big cost to Michigan is coach- ing, transportation and guarantees. Fifty thousand dollars, including all these items, is not extravagance, par- ticularly. when a team is making plen- ty of nroney.”’ 3 ° ~@uarez is going to sce a “bull” fight, rather than a prize fight, > March 6. Jack Curley is already there with the bull. Writes Future City A. C. for Bout With Zulu Kid President Tommy Sullivan of the Fu- ture City Athletic Club has received a letter from Johnny Coulon, ex-bantam- weight champion, stating that he is training daily with the idea of returning to the ring in about one month from now and asking that he be matched with Joe Demelfi, known as “young Zulu Kid.”’ The latter is now in Brooklyn, N. Y., where he went after sustaining an in- jury received in a bout with Bobby Burns three weeks ago. He is reported to have almost entirely recovered and is ready to return here whenever wanted. en Ward Predicts Another League. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—John M.

The Federals were handed another jolt yesterday when Charley Stengel, the Brooklyn outfielder, came to St. Louis, met President Charles Ebbets of the Superbas and affixed his signature to a two-year contract to play with Wilbur Robinson’s aggregation. After Ketting Stengel’'s signature Ebbets re- turned to the East last night.
