Summer bali playing by noted college
athletes on seni-professionai teams at
summer resorts is exposed and sharply
criticised by Henry Beach Needhan in
McClures Magazine for July.
IT is the second article along these
lines by the same writer. whose former
article on .-Commereialism in College
athletics" stirred up greater amount
o1 discussion among followers OF amsl-
tedr sport than anything of the kind
previously published. President Roose-
vet became so interested in reading the
first disclosures that he had Mr.. Need
nam come TO the White House to inform
hira ii,ofe fully OF the scandals uriderly-
ing it all.
1t Is naturally supposed that men who
go away from their own homes and
make business of playing ball all
summer get something more out of it
than just a good time" Lest there
should be any doubt on this score, Need
ham prints two letters which show
the direct offer of inducements" One
was to Pitcher Walter Clarkson, the
Harvard captain of last year, who re-
fused to look into the subject and later
signed with the New York American
League team. The other was letter
which niiscarried and got to q student

A Damaging Letter.
Adams, Vt, April 26. 1S04-Dear
Sir: / write thinking I might induce
you to come to ST. Adams to play sum
mer ball on the league team here
know both your school and league rec
ord and they are certainly very good
ones. A gentleman who saw you work
in the New York State League strongly
advised me to get you, IL possible. l
think you will like this league far better
than the one you played In last year.
and will find the quality of ball played
even better If you come here you will
have two Harvard. two L. of p, two
Dartmouth, Georgetown. and possibly
a Brown mot this years team or
Princeton man on the L -y- with you
The. circuit is composed Of five towns.
all within radius of fifty miles and
peopled with as hot baseball fans as
there are under the sun The players,
being for the most part good. clean
college men. are taken into the social
life of the town
THE salaries paid in this league COM
pare very favorably with those paid in
any minor or independent organization.

The Last of Reciprocity,

Ihe Times anticipates that there
will be large interest in the announce
ment that the advocates of reciprocity
are ready to give up the fight, and
to attempt more direct attack ON
the present tariff schedules. Accord
ing to this statement, which comes
to this paper on the authority OF lead
ers of the reciprocity movement, the
maximum and minimum tariff plan
will be taken up and pressed.
1t requires two-thirds vote of the
Senate to ratify reciprocity treaty
Aside from the constitutional question
about the proprsety of having revenue
laws made and unmade by the Senate,
there is the highly significant fact
that the Senate will not ratify treat
les. The powers that control the SEN
ate don't want schedules changed. 1t
is recognized after years of effort
that the fight there is hopeless. So
1t is to be placed on new basis.
The friends of tariff revision have
wisely decided that they will have
less trouble in getting a majority of
both houses than in getting two
thirds majority of the Senate They
are right, and it seems remarkable
that they shouldn't have thought of
1t earlier. So long as the whole tar
III question is left to the Senate, the
House cannot influence the matter at
all. Yet the House ought to be, as
the commons is in Great Britain, a
powerful lever with which to pry the
upper and less mobile body loose from
traditional moorings.
The friends of tariff amendment will
find the House more responsive than
the Senate to popular will Revenue
legislation must originate in the
House. They propose to originate a
maximum and minimum tariff bill
there. and If possible to pass it, When
it has passed the popular branch, the
Senate will require more courage to
defeat it than has been required to
pigeonhole the reciprocity treaties.
The concession to the Senate of
the practically exclusive power to doc
tor tariff schedules, has been great
error on the part of the reciprocity
advocates. They would have been
better OF now if instead of helping
to strengthen the Senate's control of
the tariff they had opposed every
effort to detract from the eprerogative
OF the House to originate revenue leg
islation. The reciprocity movement
has contributed good deal to the
aggrandiZemento of the Senate. That
body dislikes to surrender any pre-
rogative once acquired, and it will
doubtless cling to its present position
of arbiter of tariff legislation. The
! effort to shake it loose will be a diff
ficult one.
The dropping of reciprocity will
mark a new era in the history of the
tariff. Ever since Blaine made reci-
procity the hand-maiden of protection.
it has been slogan of politicians and
byword of statesmen. Conventions
have been for it, and congresses have
been against it 1t has been the play
thing OF politics, and it has accom-
plished nothing When its failure is
acknowledged by its best friends they
will be ready to move on to a new and
more practical stage of their contest
for wider commercial opportunity.
