In quiet little city
Dwell n noble hearted man,
He was devoted to his loved ones.
And proud to help his fellow man
And one day along in autumn,
When the forest its beauties bore,
Had attracted from this city,
Our friend Doctor Moore.
He bid farewell TO home and loved
ones,
Cheered old friends while on his
way
Told how soon he would be roaming
In the forest near San Sousa.

Least he thought, his last fare

But the hand of fate reached out be-
fore him,
And took from us our noble
friend.

BASEBALL PLAYERS ARE
WELL TREATED IN CUBA
The Financial End Of the Game is
Carefully Managed by
Leading Teams.
HOME TEAMS GET ADVANTAGE

he Cuban baseball situation has
been brought To the attention of fans
with startling clearness Just recently
when the cables told the story of the
Detroit Tigers, champions of the AM
erican league. being defeated by Gu
ban mines and i'm other cases pulling
games out of the fire by final inning
rallies. The truth struck home that
Cuba is indeed on the baseball map.
1t Is a matter of record that the
Almendares team recently defeated
Detroit by the one-sided score of -
TO 2. Willetts. the clever twlrler, was
pounded for hits that were productive
of runs in every inning but the first
and last. These statistics mean that
the Cuban diamond experts must be
reckoned with in the future. The way
the proceeds of the matches are di-
vided is unique. 1t is the old idea of
match play. There Is n winners and
n losers end of the purse. which is
divided among the players. The pro-
moters' lot is a certain percentage Of
the gross. 1t has been said that the
promoters. This is easily explained.
The Almendares park. which is con-
trolled by Eugenio Jiminez, is the only
one i'm Havana having regular stands.
All league games are played at the
Almendares lot. Jiminez takes care of
the tickets and details of the business.
When the gate receipts have been
| ~ cd Ia.
gross is given to Jiminez. Then there
is "A slight charge, generally 800, to
be paid out of the gross for license
! fees, etc
The balance of the gross rs per
cent, is divided on the present 40 per
cent. basis between the players. This
means that every day is "A worlds
series day i'm Cuba.
or course. when the major league
teams invade Cuba from this country,
things have to be run on n different
plan. AS was the case with DetroIt'a
transforming campaign with the little
brown ball tossers, the money was al
vided very differently. Every time the
Havana and Almendares mines met the
Tigers they drew down the 40 per
cent. end of the purse regardless Of
the result of the game. The other 60
per cent. went to the promoter, who
had to pay n large guarantee to the
Tigers. And moreover provide for all
their prevailing expenses, which in
Itself, is no small item. However, 1t
must be remembered that prices are
given grand opera touch with the
coming of the Americans, so that the
Cubans' share of so per cent. is al
ways larger than the 60 per cent. cut
which would be theirs in the event OF
their winning one of the regular
games.
