BY MANHATTAN

New York, March 26.-Large sums of money wagered upon baseball games or on the result of a championship season certainly would create a condition which would cause no good and might work great harm to the national pastime.

the records for other species OF birds
given by Weismann in the appendix
to his essay on The Duration of
Life. Thus canaries in captivity at

teen years. while ravens have lived
for almost one hundred Parrots are
