-Brooms are "going out" too-the

corn, says a writer in Success Maya
zine. Our best families have taken
to vacuum cleaners; office buildings
go in for soft, brushy brooms made
of bristles. The sale of the old
fashioned brooms is on the decline.
The farmers of the broom-corn coun-
try in Illinois swear they will raise
no more of their produce until the
prices than they have received in re-
cent years, and the broom-makers
can't do that because they are al
ready administering oxygen to their
perishing business. Even an infant
industry requires less coddling than
one which has passed it's prime.

Players Sore at Attempt to Keep
 Them Off Stage
National Commission Wants to Prevent Big Leaguers From
 Being Actors in Winter

| August Hermann, chairman of the National Commission and owner df the Cincinnati Reds, has drawn down the wrath of professional baseball players upon his head. Hermann wishes to further enslave the athletes who fill the pockets of the magnates with easy money. He has drafted a resolution forbidding the active per- formers of the National pastime from indulging their theatrical talents dur ing the off-season and also from re- porting worlds series games for newspapers. This resolution will be put up to Ban Johnson and Tom Lynch, the colleagues of Hermann, at the next meeting of the comrnis sion. If adopted it will mean that a valuable source of revenue will be lost to the celebrities of the diamond Professional players maintain they have tamely submitted to great many inconvenience for the good of the game. They. emphatically declare they will stand for no such nlanacles as Hermann is forging. At least the colony of pastimers who Winter in New York will have no part in tame submission.
 Talk of a protective association was predicted that every big league player would cast in his lot against that body in case the National Com mission indcrsed the scheme of Herr mann. A protectivbe association in the face of baseball law would mean no less than mutiny. It might be a grave mutiny if all the players should stick together.
 The players say they have been hit hard where it hurts most-right in the pocketbook. They point out that already they have sacrificed too much liberty. The baseball Contract of it. self makes them the slaves of their owners. They may be retained inde- finitely without salary increase while their employers may discharge them on ten days notice. In signing this negotiable contract, however, a play CT goes much further than hiring himself out indefinitely. He practi- cally signs away his athletic useful ness for twelve months of the year. He agrees not to engage in any game or branch of athletics during the off, season without the consent of his em- ployer. When it is considered that a great many of the players could get S200 or $500 a month for playing professional basketball or roller polo this submission takes the light of a sacrifice. players maintain.
 In case Herrmann'S opposition is vetoed the passive athletes may for get their wrongs. But if the meas ure is indorsed by the Triumvirate it is safe betting that the Supreme Court of baseball and the magnates will nave a merry little time of it before the stars are pacified.

Betting 10 to 7
 on Harvard Squad
Princeton Supporters Eagerly Snapping up All Bets For
 Saturdays Game

Princeton. N. J., Nov. 2.-All Princeton is looking forward to the meeting of the Orange and Black and the Crimson on the gridiron here Saturday. Harvard is sending loads of money into Tigerland to be cover ed at odds of ten to seven, and it is being rapidly gobbled by the Orange and Black supporters. Lots of Prince ton men are asking like odds, and these too are quickly covered by the enthusiastic Harvard supporters, who consider it easy money.
 Betting is lively. Princeton men are positive of winning. They feel that the only thing necessary is a dry field and a good day. However, should the field be wet and the day dis agreeable, they feel that all hope of coming out on top will be gone.
 The team had a Scrimmage today which lasted more than an hour This will doubtless be the last hard prac- tice before the Harvard game. En- couraging features in practice were conspicuous be their absence and the team work was still sadly lacking. Duff and Hart played their usual good game in the line as we'll as Bleuthen- thai. The varsity took the ball on the 25-yard line and attempted to force 1t over. The scrubs also took the ball on the 25-yard and gave the varsity defensive drill. The first string show ed better form on the defense than on the offense.

JIM O'ROURKE AND GENE
 M'CANN MAY VISIT TEXAS
Are Reported Among the Expected Arrivals
 at National Convention in San Antonio

ing to the convention would more than fill one car. James H. O'Rourke of Bridgeport, said to be one of the most popular members of the board of arbitration, and a ball player with a record that few can excel, will be here with a party of Connecticut fans, and will very likely make one of the two teams to be organized here by Mur- nane and Ewing to play an exhibition game during the convention.
 W. M. Kavanaugh of Little Rock. Ark, president of the Southern Asso- citation of Baseball clubs and a mem- Der of the board of arbitration, also has promised to attend and he will .'bring a party of Arkansas travellers that will give good account of them selves and of their state.
 Among distinguished ball players of earlier days on the diamond that have made plans to attend the convention is "Pop" Anson, said by many to be the greatest ball player the country has ever known. An effort is to be made to get him to do @ baseball stunt on the stage of one of the local theatres during the convention and it Is believed this will be one of the greatest treats that could be given the visitors.
 It appears probable that between one and two thousand baseball enthusiasts and fans will be gathered here during the convention.
