IF THIS BE TRUE
 WHY IS IT TRUE?

Washington, January 20.-(Special.)- At Windsor, Canada, it is 25 per cent cheaper to live than at it's neighbor, Detroit, in this country. The facts are being pointed to by those who are in- sisting that the tariff plays an important part in the high cost of living in the United States. Detroit people who have had occasion to visit Windsor to make purchases bring back some specimen prices, of which the subjoined list is a

Sam Mills Only Member
 Who Could Raise $500

sition came up again, but at that time. after the matter had been discussed and everybody seemed willing and even eager to start the league there was a call for a $500 guarantee.
 That call came like a thunderclap and there was a slow and hisitating response After while it was started, but only one man in the bunch had that much money with him, and that was Sam Mills of Birmingham, who pulled out five $1O0 bills. Finally, the wires were brought into acquisition, and every man present, rep resenting a town that wanted to get Into the league, had arranged his $500 guar antee, except Atlanta, the city in which the meeting was held.
 Tt didn't get the $5O0 either, and an other town had to take its place. Now Atlanta Is not only in the league, but a pennant winner"
 Here the old fan smiled reminiscent sort of a smile and indicated that he could unbosom himself still further about the days when the Southern league was in it's infancy, but he refused to go fur ther into the past and remarked that things looked good to him at the present angle, and that baseball was no more scary sort of an undertaking as 1t was in those days. And Newt Fisher, accord ing to the fan, made great big pile out of his experiences with the team in this city.

The following story of the beginning of the Southern league Is from the Nash vile American
 Judge Kavanaugh is coming, I see," said a well-known baseball fan of Nash vile yesterday, who has at one time known the inner circles of the game. That reminds me somehow of the old days he continued, "the days when baseball was on uncertain legs. Charlie Frank and Newt Fisher, I remember, came here with a story that baseball must succeed in the south,' and as some of the locals had been stung more or less by previous experience they sent the pro- motors to Eugene Shannon and new bunch. They used to play baseball at the old West Side park then and Billy Sun day occupied berth in the garden.
 Well. baseball had a way of falling through here after the Fourth of July. and it was hard matter to keep things going after that date on account of lack of proper business arrangements and funds.
 "The meeting for organization was held at Atlanta and that is the funny part of the story. Atlanta is now a great and growing city and would probably look at matters differently if the same propo-

WHAT THE WEATHER
MAN SAYS TODAY

The prevalence of high pressure
is still felt In a continuance of fair
weather over the greater part of the
country. The Pacific storm center
over western Canada has caused
further precipitation on the north
Pacific seaboard. The eastern
storm Is near the Gul of st. Law
renee. and precipitation has been
generally eastward from the lake
region. The crest of high pressure
Is over Alabama. Temperatures in
the Pacific coast states are mod
crate and about normal. Eastward
from the ridge of the Rockies tenn
peratures generally are below freez-
ing, excepting in the extreme south
and ON the south Atlantic seaboard.
