In the future all managers in the
New York State league are to be re-
quired to send a sworn statement to
President Farrell giving the exact sal
airy Of each player.
Joe Kelly, the ex-Cincinnati player,
says that he doesn't need sympathy.
That's right, Joseph, for sympathy will
never win you anything in Toronto.
What you need Is a few fellows who
can play bald.
What is the matter with Jimmy CAL
lahan. He now says that Chicago has
not a sufficient number of baseball
clubs, and that the American associa-
ton made a mistake when it neglected
to plant a team on the North side.
Seattle bowlers are talking of send

expert bowlers and team from there

STAGE AND STACEL AND

Wallace Irwin, the poet; Charles
Belmont Davis, the writer of short
stories, and Alfred B. Robyn, the mus
ical composer, after carefully prepar-
ing to attend the opening performance
of Raymond Hitchcock in ~ Yankee
Tourist" at Elyria, Ohio, recently went
into the Pennsylvania Railroad ONCE
in New York, and bought tickets for
Elyria, Kansas. Poets, prose writer's,
musicians and all men of artistic tenn
permanent and pursuits are traditional
ly short sighted in the little details
of everyday life. Naturally none of
the trio had ever heard of any Elyria,
as they spend the greater part of their
time in New York and do not think
about matters which concern one night
stands, so when Mr.. Irwin went into
the ticket Office and asked how to get
to Elyria he did not specify IN what
state the particular Elyria which he
wished to visit was located. He just
said "Elyria" and the ticket agent,
with an eye to business, sold him three
tickets for the particular Elyria in
which this particular ticket agent was
interested.
"You take the Pennsylvania to st.
Louis" said the T. A., land from
there you take the Missouri Pacific
to Elyria."
Mr.. Irwin expressed his thanks for
the information, bought the tickets,
reserved sleepers and blissfully STEP
ped upon train that ultimately land
ed him and his companions some hun
dreds of miles from Elyria, Ohio, where
"A'Yankee Tourist" was given its first
performance. AS Richard Harding
Davis, the brother of Charles Belmont
Davis. was author Of the piece, Wal
lace Irwin the writer of the lyrics,
and Alfred B. Robyn, the composer Of
the music of "A Yankee Tourist" the
three men were not delighted to dis
cover that they had landed in the
wrong town. They reached Elyria.

noon and discovered that there wee

Canadian Visitor Says that But Little
News Of Suffering In King Eds
Domain, Is known.

Either the newspaper men of Cana
da are not so enterprising as those of
the United States or else the people
most directly interested in the develop
ment of tine Dominion have some means
OF curbing them," said G. L. Everett of
Winnipeg. Man., at the Dacotah today
to an Evening Times representative
The fact remains that very little news
has reached the outside world con-
corning the snow blockade in the Ca
madam northwest, while the papers
have been full of conditions in the
northwestern part of the United States,
when Canada was really worse of than
this country.
Perhaps the system of correspond
ence hasn't reached the perfection in
the Dominion that 1t has on this side
of the boundary. don't know that it
isn't just as we'll, however, that GEN.
sational reports Of this kind be kept
out Of the papers, to a certain extent,
unless it Is proven absolutely that they
contain nothing but fact. Exaggerated
stories of this sort work great injury
on the sections which they concern,
and therefore great care should be TAX
en- to see that they are correct.
Some pretty tall reports could have
been sent out of Canada this winter
without stretching the truth in the
least. The settlers up there were in
worse shape than the people through
the Dakotas, for they are much more
isolated, and the facilities for keeping
the railroad tracks clear are hardly as
good as they are here.
Canada Suffered.
"And then the storms in the Cana
dian northwest were even more severe
than they were in the United States,
was concerned. The farmers were
showed in in earnest, and there was
much cruel suffering from the cold. l
even heard of some deaths.
ION both sides of the boundary the
stock has suffered severely. Just how
severely we will not know until the re-
ports from the more distant interior
points are in. Some of the largest
ranches are located twenty to eighty
miles or more from the railroad, and
there Is practically no communication
between them and the outside world in
winter like the present one. The
snow has been SO unusually deep that
I imagine the cattle and sheep suf-
fered severely. What reports have
been received tell of hundreds of the
animals dying, either frozen to death
or starved

Galveston, Tex, is out for the auto
mobile races next winter, a rival OF
Ormonde Beach, Fla. The Galveston
Business Mems league and many auto
clubs throughout the Lone Star state
are behind the movement. Galveston
has thirty-nine miles of beach, level,
hard and from three to four hundred
yards wide, where an ideal automo-
bile course could be laid of.
Spokane has taken up basketball on
roller skates and It has won public
approval to the extent that the game
will be played there between teams
from the Spokane Athletic associa-
ton and 0onIaga college several
times yet this season. The game ia
much faster than ordinary basketball
more exciting and interesting To
watch and offers wider variety Of
play.

Ever since her arrival in this coun-

the most startling changes on the

the selection of the composer, Gia-
como Puccini.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC
IS HEAVIER
Homeseekers Are in Majority
on the Trains Going West
This Year.

Passenger traffic in and out of the
city is somewhat better this week than
it has been for some time, principally
due to the increase in the number of
homeseekers and settlers going west.
With the opening of spring each year
hundreds and thousands go to the vast
prairies in search of more profitable
living. and the majority never return
for more than visit, but remain on
homesteads or claims, where they meet
with more or less success.
The westward tide of homeseekers is
the greatest in the spring months and
it is now that the people are beginning
to start for the Dakotas, Montana and
other western sections. Railway men
report that already they can see an in
crease in travel in their passenger de-
partment and expect that travel will be
very heavy within three or four weeks.
This increase is noticeable at the
waiting rooms of the depots. as the
homeseekers are easily detected from
the usual travelling public. 1t is prob
able that extra passenger trains will
have to be put into service later when
the rush is in progress.
In the Spring of the year there is,
perhaps. also the largest number of
travelling men in circulation. The ho-
tells of the city are now crowded with
the commercial travellers. and, in fact,
the names of few others appear on the
registers. 1t is not the season of the
year that people travel for pleasure
and few are now travelling for health.
