The endency of base ball legislation Is
toward a tighter restriction of the play
ers. The National league has adopted a
schedule Of 16S games, frightening it from
154 games and both major leagues have
decided to exact from all players signed
for this year a stipulation that they are to
refrain from all post-season playing, barn
storming." This means that the man who
signs a major league contract for the base
ball season, of about six months, binds
himself to the will and authority OF his
employer for twelve months, SO far as base
bali is concerned. There appears to be
justice on both sides of this question. In
the first place the magnate has a right to
expect that the man to whom he pays a
liberal salary will exert reasonable effort
to keep himself in the best Of condition
from season to season. transforming and
mid.winter ball playing is very liable to
put him out Of condition. There are many
such cases of record. Again, the man who
pays out $4,000 TO 800. 600 a year to main
tain a big league ball team has something
at stake in the matter of reputation. 1t is
not only unbendingl dignity for his team
to go out at the close OF a season and gel
walloped by a brush Lacquer or a town-lot

the team and the game and thereby vitiat'

money he may so long as he gives his EN-

has added no extra pay for It's player

sion with relation 20 It's policy to-
ward outlawed players. He calls
attention 20 the fact that the COM
mission has c-ountenanced the redemption
Of star players from the outlaws, while
holding the embargo tightly upon players OF
less magnitude. He cites particularly the
case OF Pitcher Ben Henderson, who has
been picked by Cleveland. Henderson. a
very ordinary man when In Omaha, seems
TO have become a phenom in California.
The protocol Of peace which led to a
complete adjustment of the outlaw situa-
ton provided that players then In the
bandetti should remain there four years,
under certain conditions. before returning
to organized base ball. Now 1t is proposed
to allow Henderson to go to Cleveland.

lofty ideals the commission sought to sub
serve when It sanctioned this new rule and

organized base ball into as great disrepute
as the outlaws could ever have been. 1t is
setting a poor example to the outlaw, this
thing Of early making exceptions to a
rule which was intended as the sina qua

course 10 not new. The authorities have
in the past too frequently lifted the bant

outlaw back into the fold Of the redeemed
at his pleasure. The case of Hal Chase
stands out as the most flasant. The only
way to prevent outlawry is for the law
givers and law defenders Of base ball &c
apply their rules with equal Justice 20 the

the penalty merely because he happens &c

THANKSGIVING MOTHER

social history as Turner the Gener-
GUS"
During the revolutionary war, when
ever the festival was celebrated, there
was less feasting and more praying.
On December IS, 1777. Washington pro-
claimed a day OF Thanksgiving for the
army, and on May 7, 177s, at Valley
Forge, the poor, worn-out Continentals
knelt down in their rags and thanked
God for their deliverance from the en-
envy.
Several presidents after Washington
proclaimed special Thanksgiving day,
but 1t was not regular custom, and
1t was usually left to the governors
of the different states to decide when
the day should be, or IL 1t should be
at alb although in New England ii
was hardly ever omitted.
Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale became ed
itor OF Godey's Lady's Book in 1887.
She was native OF New England
having been born In Newport, N. H.,
on October "a, 1888. She was surprised
to find when she came to Philadelphia
that Thanksgiving was not celebrated
as much as or in the way she thought
it ought to be.
Charming and Energetic.
Mrs. Hale was awoman of great
charm, strong character and extremely
energetic. She was also very tenacious
of her ideas and very persistent in
pushing them.
For 20 years or more she untiringly
agitated the question of Thanksgiving
day being made a national and annual
holiday. She wrote letters to all the
governors of the different states and
territories, urging that they appoint the
last Thursday Of November in each
year as a day for thanksgiving, cele-
brating 1t with a general holiday and
ny services In the churches, thanking
God for giving such land Of plenty
and so many and great opportunities
for happiness and advancement to the
Americans.
This Is the spirit in which Thanks
been celebrated by modern Americans,
but until Mrs. Hale succeeded in hav-
ing it made national holiday, it was
really more day set apart for gorg-
eous feasting after bounteous harvest
than anything else.
BY 1859, after 20 years of effort, two
governors had yielded to the entreaties
OF Mrs. Hale but there was no very
widespread interest, and the custom
Jagged. especially in the south, where
1t had always been regarded with sus-
picion as a Puritan substitute for
Christmas.

Lincoln was the first president who
responded favorably to Mrs Hale's
suggestion. Directly after the battle Of
Gettysburg, in July, 1868, Mrs. Hale
wrote to President Lincoln, inclosing

principally with wild turkeys.
They had a great number of other
fowls, too. and the women had pre-
pared for the feast in their absence
by making an immense number of good
pies, doughnuts and other savory pas
tries.
Indians Brought venison.
To add to the general festivities, the
friendly Indians, under King Massa-
soft, appeared with gifts of venison.
The feasting was alternated with
psalm singing and prayers and war
dancing by the savages, while an exhi-
bition of military drill was given by
Captain Standish's well-trained SOL
diery.
This festival was such a success that
1t was repeated at frequent intervals
throughout the year.
