NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING ATTRACTS
 MUCH INTEREST

New York, December T. Enthusiasts are expecting developments Monday when the National league magnates meet. James Ganney, owner of the Boston franchise. with other officials. arrived here today and other baseball men of this city al once discussed new legislation. The most important mat ter is the election Of a new president. While many names are mentioned the general talk is that Thomas J. Lynch, who successfully led the fight to force Horace Fogel the Philadelphia presi- dent, out of the league. will he re- elected without much opposition. An other matter to be taken up is the case of Roger Bresnahan, who Was dis charged from the position of manager of the St. Louis Cardinals after serving a year. and who claimed that under a five years contract he is entitled to $40, 900 at s10,000 a year together with 10 per cent of the pi offts of last years earnings from Mrs. Britton, owner of the club. Bresnahan is coming to New York, 1t is said, with a lawyer to pre- sent his case. Another matter that may come up Is that of the controYerss between Garry Hermann, president of the Cincinnati club and Charles N. Murphy. president of the Chicago team, oyer the transfer Of Joe Tinker from the Cubs 10 the Reds and other ar engagements. Hermann has something up his sleeve, according to story from Chicago. This will induce Murphy, lt
 is said to release the famous short fielder.

RECORD OF ANSON SURPRISES
 THAT OF ALL FORMER STARS

In all the annals Of baseball there Is no playing record To surpass the one that The Grand old Man Of Baseball Adrian (. Anson. made as member of the Chi eago National league club
 While the national sport was growing lip from infancy and Chicago was estab- fishing itself on the baseball map through the achievements of it's mighty White Stockings. Anson was building for himself record that challenges belief even in this day of diamond wonders.
 To remain with a club for % long years Is one thing of no little note: to serve IS manager and captain of the club in add- tion 10 playing a regular position for 2f of those 22 seasons is an even greater mark of distinction, and to be able 10 show at the close of the lengthy period the wonderful grand batting average of .as1 hespeaks feat without a parallel in all the years of the nations favorite sport.
 Nowadays 1t means a mark of honor to a player to bat above 200 for even a sin gle season, but how many of the modern stars will be able to keep it up for % sea sons in succession even though not bear ing the additional burdens of the man agement and eaptaincy? It is doubtful if Ansons record will ever be equaled. It certainly stands out at present in a class of it's own and as mark for young play CTS to shoot at.
 Anson started out as third baseman with Chicago in the first year of the Ma tonal league. 1875 and played in the out field in 1878, and il was not until 1879 that he went 10 the position in which he was to rank as one of the greatest of stars.

Red and Blue conquered Michigan, Carlisle and Cornell. The victory over the Indians in itself stamps the years work as creditable The Cornell game was an anti-climax but the Quakers won, thereby preserving the honors won in the two preceding games. Penn won on Thanksgiving day by superior alertness. That the score was not larger is partly due to an unfortunate willingness on the part of the Penn players to let well enough alone.

BASEBALL AS A HOME PACIFIER

4 WOMAN-the woman who
~ owns the St. Louis Cardinals
has a new cure for the di-
Norce evil It is for women to talk
baseball to their husbands of an
evening instead of telling them
about how much meat has gone up,
and how bad the children have
been, and that the cook is going to
leave.
She says that the recipe for a
happy home is for the wife to be
come fan, and that no man would
desire to wander away from his
own fineside if his wife would hold
him in sweet discourse about ma
jor leagues and minor leagues. and
batting averages, and other thrill
ing dope of the diamond
To a degree the lady baseball
maguate is right Nothing holds
people so much as mutual in
terest This IS why SO many hus-
bands and wives are harmonious in
tho early years of their married
life, while they are struggling and
saving, and toiling together to get
start in the world, but who drift
apart Is soon as they get married,
and are no longer absorbed in a
common aim
As long as woman is doing the
cooking and washing, and patching
her husbands trousers to help him
pay for a partnership in a little
business. or to buy their first home.
YOU never hear Of her thinking that
she is misunderstood and not APP
preciated. nor does he discover that
she isn't his real soul mate. They
are interested in each other be-
cause they have a mutual interest
Why We Lead.
Undoubtedly one, Of the reasons
why America leads the world in
divorce is because men and women
in this country touch life at so
few points together In reality. we
are still provincial, and tend to-
ward the Quaker meeting house
state OF society, with the men sit
ling on one side Of the house and
the women herded on the other.
Men and women have few inter
es's IN common, and after the
mate hunting season with both is
past each sex seEregates to itself
Except with the very young and
the perenuially nirtatious. men pre-
fer TO talk TO men. and women TO
women. and mixed conversation is
never so animated or SO interesting
as the heavt-to-h heart talks that
women carry on at their hen par
ties. and men indulge in at their
clubs
This lack ~ mutual interest is
even more noticeable IN the family
