of George Washington university, who
has had much experience i'm that line.
had been summoned to shed light on
the proposition. One OF the problems
called to his attention raised the ques-
ton whether the United States should
have a government building at the
show. Gore reckoned not for two rea-
sons. One was that the conditions did
not require a special building and that
none could be erected in the time avail
able
What. a building could not be
erected in a year " asked Chairman
Tawney.
Exactly true" answered Professor
Gore. IF we relied upon the Belgian
builders TO put up building, we could
not have one erected for the EXPOSE
ton, because they have to stop four
times day for lunch 1t took us over
two years, at Antwerp. to- put up
building, and it was put up by a pri-
vate corporation"
Another point brought out by Prof.
Gore was that the holding of EXPOSE
tons was we'll established and prof
liable business i'm Belgium. Such
shows were provided i'm Brussels i'm
1888 and 1897 There have been four
eXpOsitions in the busy little kingdom
since 1894. Professor Gore said in ex-
planning the exposition habit:
The Belgians make money out of
their expositions. and that is the rea-
son they have them so frequently
They have never cleared less than 12
per cent upon their investments. They
are money making enterprises. They
raise the capital and put it under the
patronage of the government. and
make whatever they can out of it. The
profits are frequently divided with
charitable institutions"

tons of the league without the pale of

san Francisco club and the uncle of j.
Cal Ewing. head of the Coast league,
who is now visiting in Portland. has
been impressed with the necessity for
such acton. The temper of the Port
land fans on bit of umpiring early
in the week indicated to the Califor
mans that there is a great deal of dis
satisfaction with the present league.

Unless the move is made toward the

that they will ask the national com

ry Hermann, president OF the highest
baseball body in America. has been on
the coast during the summer and is
thoroughly familiar with conditions
of the American league. and the late
lamented Harry Pulliam made a trip
to the coast to devise plans for putting
an end to the outlaws. They had one
talk with Cal Ewing and Henry Berry,
or at least attempted to hold IA con-
ference, and it ended by their leaving

It was said before the game that an
attempt would be made to prevent the
playing Of the game. The word was
given out that number Of church
people had associated themselves to-

Injunction, and they engaged Attorney
Clifford Healing to attend to it. But
1t was discovered that II they obtained

to put up bond to indemnify the base
ball people against any loss in case
the suit should fail. The fact that
there were 1900 persons present at
the game shows that the gate receipts
were not less than $4,000. and this
gives an idea of the size of the bond
that would BE- required.
