BASEBALL HAS
IMPROVED MUCH
Old Players Say Baseball Men
Of Present Bay Have
Easy Time
MANY SAVE MONEY
FOR THE RAINY DAY

Bob Lowe. once the peer OF any in
fielder in the baseball game, and now
acting as scout for the Tigers. has a
good word to say for the umpires. Bob
was a star IN the days when things
were decidedly different. and he is
better able to see the improvement than
a youngr man, who has not lived un-
der both the old and the new order OF
things.
Twenty years ago." SAYS Bob, "the
umpires weren't supported and the
players knew It, so they took all kinds
of liberties. The league executives
IN those days did not seem to have the
backbone that they display now. and
they let the players get away with a
lot OF stuff that would throw Messrs
Johnson and Lynch into fits. The dou-
BILE umpire system is partly response
for the change for the better. Another
thing. is that the GLASS Of men engag-
ed in baseball is distinctly higher in
the average than It was back in the
early nineties.
"Nine Of every ten players save their
money now, and are wise enough 10
know that dissipation doesn't pay.
When first broke into the big league
man who saved was the exception.
Drunkenness was extremely pre-
valent, and some teams were literally
ruined by the designations Of their
players.
"A lot OF college men are going into
professional ball these days. and II
doesn't hurt the game any TO have this
class enter the ranks. II course, there
we're some fine men on the diamond
twenty years ago, some of the finest I
have ever met. Likewise, there was a
lot Of hard drinking, fighting, devil
may-oare fellows who would not be
tolerated now.
Baseball. believe. is more scien-
tifc now than Il was in the old days.
That is TO say. thre is better team
work and the managers seem 10 have
a better policy. At the same time, the
individual player seems to have lost
something. Now everything Is done
by signs and signals; Il is the team
and not the individual that is being
developed. The elaborate code of signs
lifts some of the burden from the indi-
vidual players shoulders"

BUILDING AMERICAN SHIPS.

Though as the San Francisco Exam
incr says we have two oceans without
American ships, seven seas without
sailing vessels and the costliest canal
in the world without merchant mar
inc, IT is good to know that private
enterprise has by no means deserted
the transportation business of Amer
lean ports.
THE Atlantic and Pacific Trans
portation Company, with a capital Of
Sl5,OOO,OOO, was Incorporated at

planning the construction of fifteen
speedy, modern steamers, and will be

opened, and the new company will
bid for it, Its enterprise deserves ev-
cry generous consideration.
Behind the new enterprise stands
Bernard Baker of Baltimore, mil
lionairc and commercial statesman,
who has been working on the plan
for years, and whose genius and en-
crgy ought to make him richer and
more famous. Mr.. Baker discovered
on visit to the lsthmus that the
Transcontinental Railroad pool had
been paying more than $l,OOO,oOO a
year to the Panama Railroad to sup
press competition, and the railroad
fulfilled its contract by refusing to
build its line to deep water. The mat
ter was brought before Congress.
"Mr. Baker is one of the men who
do things-grcat things-and richly
deserves the fruitage of them"
Such an aggressive transportation
organization will not ignore Homo
lulu, but we feel certain that It will
require the assurance of continued
protection.

fact that II is the best available po-
