That 154-Game Schedule.

The adoption of the 154-game schedule
antagonized by the American League. added
difhculties to the arrangement of a world s
championship series. Brush's refusal to ac-
cept the 1903 challenge of President Cor
don prepared for his announcement that
under no circumstances would he allow his
team to meet the representatives of our
league Now Chicago joins with New York
In a plan to send the clubs to Australia or
some other remote part of the globe In
stead of looking forward with pride and
pluck to participation in the most impor-
tant contest ball clubs can engage in the
players and managers of these teams are
encouraged to go on pleasure haunt
Americans place the proper estimate upon
the claimant of championship in any
branch of athletics who will not contest
when challenged, and the efforts of Brush
and his minion to blind the games patrons
to their motives and purposes will not sue
coed.
Can 1t be that Brush harbors the belief
that New Workers. will be satisfied with the
single achievement of winning a National
League pennant? Nothing but the great
est honors will satisfy the desire and am
billions of the patrons of the game in the
metropolis.
Sound craftsmanship and not a sOrdid
spirit influences the American League In a
desire to make the worlds series and other
interleague post-seasOn games feature of
each year. There Is a public demand for
these tests of relative strength of the rival
major leagues, and we are content to sub
nit to them.
We believe that base ball would be ben

say nothing of his fellow-countrymen. our
amateur championship will assume much
more open appearance. Travis has our
amateurs practically beaten from the start
with the exception of Frank O. Reinhart
who in spite of the fact that he practices
less than any player in the country, has
beaten the British and American cham
pion twice of the three times they have met.
Unfortunately, the dashing young Princeton
captain plays the game too much In the
light of an occasional relaxation, so much
that for important tournament he
will only seriously consider the game two
or three days before the event.
No other players on this side could be
considered as likely to beat Travis in
serious match. although there are several
capable of far more brilliant game.
Apart from Mr. Reinhart, one will have to
look to Mr.. Robert Maxwell, Mr.. Norman
Hunter and whoever are the others to make
the trip OF the unknown 1t would be a
treat, indeed, If Mr.. John Ball, jr.. and Mr..
Jack Graham. jr.. were in the party. With
Messrs. Maxwell and Norman Hunters
visit assured. Travis tenure of the title Is
far from a safe investment and whether
Mr. Maxwell is defeated or not, golfers here
will be treated to a brilliant exhibition OF
the long game by one who has proper COM
mand over his clubs.

Side Lines to Farming.

Some of these may be very profit
gardeners. advises Rural New Yorker.
II some localities the farmers follow
this course to such an extent that 1t is
hard to tell just when farming leaves
off and gardening begins. 1t is good
practice, and the small farmers are
often able to turn as much clearmoney
on two or three acres Of sweet corn, cab
bage, horseradish or like crops as from
their entire regular crops. 1t would
be time well spent for many farmers
these crops. There is easily $40 to
500 In an acre of sweet corn proper
ly managed, and more than that In
horseradish With the latter crop
nearby markets are not SO much Of an
object, as it will stand storing for
high prices and hauling or shipping
to any distance. The sweet corn, how
ever, Is an entirely different matter,
and without easily accessible markets
MT the canning factories or the larger
cities for immediate supply the grower
will very likely get caught. Cabbage
MISC is worthy of attention as it may
be easily stored to await favorable
market opportunities or long shipment
If necessary. So there is no reason
why many of the ordinary farms may
not become far more profitable than
ms at present conducted.
