THE FLIGHT TO CANADA.

Last year $4,000 persons possessed
OF 6O,OOO,000 American coined dollars
or the equivalent crossed over to the
new land of plenty, and this year the
official figure will show that 10000
persons and $70,OOO,OOO have followed
len years ago the numbers were too
slight to excite comment. Ten years
hence the loss of desirable Americans
doubtless will outnumber the gain of
foreigners, with a corresponding loss
OF dollars In proportion to which the
gain through immigration will be beg
garry. While It is not likely that the
exodus of farmers will continue to in
crease at It's present ratio, that there

OF those qualified to speak Canadian
statlsticians figure that by the end of
the century the population will have
increased to 100000, with ample
room for as many more. That the full
significance of the movement has not

Is evident from the fact that press
and public are still bidding god-speed

be brought to an edge at which It will
not offer resistance to the turf. Now
what would happen to baseball team
wearing the leather cleats Inside Of
two months every player would be SO
stove up that the hospital lists would
be larger than should the spikes be
permitted. Instead of "cold feet. the
popular malady would be "sore feet"
WHAT is true Of the football cleat
also applies to the rubber knobs or
anything else that might be suggested.
Take away the spikes and baseball
would be robber of many of its most
brilliant features. Base running would
be reduced to a minimum, while sens
ational fielding would be a thing OF
the past. Plays that are now possible
through a quick start gained by spikes
would never be pulled Off
Baseball without spikes would be a
failure. Then if the spikes are to be
retained, what is the remedy? Surely
not the head first slide, for under such
conditions the runner would now be
placed in a worse position than the
baseman is now. The defensive player
would block off a man with his knee
without danger to himself, and where
there is now an occasional cutting.
broken neck, collar bones and such
injuries would be common.
The spike is a big problem in base
ball, but there is little chance to tam
per with the steel and its use, It will
take a wise man indeed to devise a.
rule that will fulfill the purpose for
which it is intended, namely, of pro-
tecting players without spelling the
game.

Spikes!

Spikes!
This is one OF the subjects that may
come up when National and American
league baseball magnates get together
in New York Tuesday, for there is no
phase of the diamond game that has
aroused as much comment during the
past two years which has caused as
much comment. Since the close of the
last playing season there has been a.
little let up In the noise, however. the
argument over the National league
presidency and the discussion of the
possibilities Of lessening the damages
of football coming up as furnishing of
fall and early winter gossip.
But you remember the noise that
was made over the death dealing
spikes late in the season, when Ty
Cobb dug the steel into Third Baseman
Baker of the Athletics, putting this
player out OF the game for time at
a critical point in the pennant race.
Then came the subsequent spikinR of
Baker by Cobb in the next clash of
the Detroit and Philadelphia.
All this brought up the matter of
baseball spikes with renewed interest
and many of the powers of baseball
were ready to tell how the evil could
be remedied. Some magnates came
out with the suggestion that the rules
committee frame a rule whereby a
player would be called out If he slid
into a bag feet first Other sugges-
tions have also been made to do away
with spikes altogether and find some
substitute, sucn as the cleats used in
football
But when all is said and done where
can you find a substitute for the
spikes? Surely not football cleats. It
is a practice among ball players to
file their spikes, making them as sharp
as possible. Now this is not done with
the intention Of intimidating any play
err or Of cutting an OPPOSITION player.
1t is done for the players own interest
in the development Of speed and to
reserve his feet. The sharper the
spikes the less resistance there is when
it is dug into the ground. And this is
just why football cIeats would not
work in baseball. The leather cannot
