SILLY WAR TALK.
New York and Brooklyn Would Not Be

Ali this talk that the animals of New
York and Brooklyn have been fed raw
beef until they are aching for fight with
the American League sounds like the veri-
est rot to the man who makes any kind of
study of base. ball dope. The New York
National League club has things its own
way at present. and so long as there is no
war it need not fear the New York Amer
leans greatly as the latter club has but
few opportunities to strengthen Its team
unless there is war. Under these latter cir
cumStances it would stand as much chance
of improving it's team as would the New
York Nationals. salaries would be higher
attendance for next season would be much
brighter than they are under existing cir
cumstances. The claim that the Brooklyn
club wants war is "A joke. War for Brook
lyn would mean increased salaries without
any increase in receipts What brooklyn
wants and needs is cheap team as

an ili-adviSed move. There are one or two
