BY AUGUST HERMANN.
Chairman National Base Ball

Bl AUGUST HERMANN.
Chairman National Base Ball
Commission.
In closing these articles l want
to say something about base ball
as an institution. l want to 6ive
the outsider some idea of the
games immensely.
This great sport, which orig
mated from town ball or round
ers, today represents an eXpendi-
ture of $5,OO0,OOO i'm salaries to
players alone, for the six months
from April to October inclusive,
every year.
The game is played on an or
ganized basis in 267 American
cities. 1t gives employment to
1850 players, to say nothing of
the men employed as managers,
trainers, scouts, secretaries,
ground keepers. box office men,
ticket takers and ushers.
Last year, taking the at
tendance of the minor leagues
as 25,00O,0O0, which was
the 1908 figure, the total
paid admissions to organized
league games was 32,303,-
094. The total major league
paid admissions for the year
was 50,134,235. Think of
it! In nine years more than
half the present estimated
total population of the Unit
ed States attended ball
games. No wonder base ball
is called the national sport.
1 have seen base ball grow
from an organized pastime to an
organized business. but all
through this development the spir-
it of the game has outweighed the
business interest. / don't believe
there is a club owner who would
not rather see his team win a
hard-fought contest than know
his park was breaking attendance
records.
Where a few years ago we
played ball, even in the major
leagues best cities, In parks,
which, If larger, did not offer
much better facilities than a ma
+iority of the parks you will now

The Fence Posts of Iowa
Washington. September.

Washington. September.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture estimates that the farmers Of the
single State OF Iowa use every year
81, 400, 600 worth of new fence posts,
which cost the equivalent of $500, 600
for setting them in the ground. Fur
Their. the Department officials believe
that part of this expenditure mib bit

The opportunity for economy is
found first. in using the kinds of posts
which. taxing into account both cost
and durability. are cheapest in the
long run. and. secondly. by treating
the posts to prevent decay, particular
ly those which decay most quickly
When a farmer sets post which will
have comparatively short life, he
loses not only through having.to buy a
new post but also because of the addit-
/ ional labor involed in setting IL. Il is
true that in both cssee no money out

Several thousand replies have been used
in compiling the figures. which, com
bined with statistics issued by the

the number OF farmers and the acreage

these totals about 10. 900. 900 posts are
