REAL ESTATE
WAS ACTIVE
Many Dwellings Changed
Hands During Latter Part
of Week

Comparatively few real estate trans
fers have been recorded in the office
of the City Engineer since March 25
and the deals spread upon the records
represent the sale OF dwellings and
building lots in no case necessitating
the expenditure of large sums OF money.
The transfers. however, demonstrate
that people are awakening to the fact
that there is more economy I'm owning
than paying rent. and form a good in
dication of the esteem in which VIII
mington is held as a place Of residence.
Following is the list:

VAST NUMBER OF
BASEBALLS USED
American Leagues Rule to
Use No DiSCOIOTed Balls
One Cause

More than 10000 baseballs are used a
season By the teams in the National
Agreement Leagues The New York and
Chicago teams Of the National League
each use in the neighborhood Of sixty
dozen balls season for the home games
an average of nine balls a game for those
scheduled on the home grounds That
seems like "A good many balls, but there
Is plenty of use for them. A couple OF
new balls are handed to the umpire when
the game begins, new ones are thrown out
when those knocked over the fence are
not returned promptly two or three new
ones are given the pitchers before each
game for limbering up. and sometimes
balls knocked into the crowd mysteriously
disappear.
The rule OF the American League to
throw out new balls instead OF discolored
ones means a largely increased number
Of balls used in that league. 1t Is said that
some big league organizations. with a
strict eye to economy can get through a
season with forty dozen balls. but this is
below the average. The two big leagues
between them use 1000 dozen balls a sea-
son. In the leading minor league organiza-
tions such as the American Association,
Eastern, Southern and New York Leagues
each club may use as many as thirty
dozen balls. the clubs OF the smaller
leagues using about ten or fifteen dozen
apiece.

MAGNATES CAUSE
THE DEMANDS
Don't Swell the Attendance
and the Players Will
Cease to Kick

Threats Of baseball players to retire
from the profession unless certain salary
demands are met always cause the patrons
of the game more worry than they do
the club owners, the latter being annoyed
rather than worried. There are a few in.
stances in thirty-one years where a ball
player has retired voluntarily from base
ball-perhaps one in 1000 OF all the men
who have played in major leagues. Their
cases have been exceptional and their busi
ness opportunities unusual The average

stars threaten TO retire-might average

The star players salary runs close "a
$1,000 year or better, and he earns this
In six months, with the opportunity to put

can. That is why there are so few volun-
tary retirements. For large part OF the
friction with players over contracts the
club owners themselves are at fault. Any
time the financial standing of a ball club
Is referred TO by an official he begins to
talk In large figures. Through some mis-
taken impression that Il will have "a good
enect on the public, the club owner usual

few clubs ever have lost any money-for
publication. The tendency to swell attend
ance figures In some cities is in line with
this. The players read the papers They be-
lieve their employers are making all the
money they are credited with making.
The players estimates OF crowds at BAN
games have been enlarged by well-mean-
ing press agents. In the worlds series OF
1905 sorae of the players openly questioned
the official attendance figures issued by
the National Commission. because they fell
so far short OF what had been claimed
for crowds which they knew could not
have been greater Giving the public and
the players the facts regarding a club

right TO know them would eliminate many
