BIG LEAGUERS Iii lAuuDLt
CHARGES Made That New York and
Brooklyn Players Compete With
Semipros Around Gotham.

Officials of both the National and
American Leagues have begun an in
Vestigation of charges that members
of the New York and Brooklyn teams
have been playing Sunday baseball
here in semi professional teams under
assumed names 1t is alleged that
from 500 to $3.50 is regularly paid to
the big team stars for this service by
semi-professional teams here and In
suburban towns.
On several occasions, II is said, star
pitchers on the pay rolls of the local
major league clubs have worked on
Sundays for as much as $3.50, only to
fail utterly when called upon to enter
the box the next day by their regular
employers. One crack boxman, it is
alleged, pitched sixteen inning game
on recent Sunday in Hudson river
town in spite of the fact that 1t was
his regular turn to pitch on Monday.
On another occasion, according to
the Investigators, a star battery hired
for $3.50 by semi-professional club
found that the opposing team had
pitcher and catcher equally well
known in organized baseball The
recognition on the field was mutual,
but in order to fool the spectators.
the major leaguers, whose names
were assumed, did not speak.
The first move, it is said, will be a
sweeping order prohibiting players
under contract to organized clubs
from accepting offers from semi-pro-
fessional managers.

Some fellow up at Washington who has lots OF idle
time ON his hands has been consuming reams paper
hguring just many ancestors the average adult
citizen boast AS a great many persons are os-
tensbly proud OF their ancestors it will interest them
to know just the size the army of which they
must include in their pridefu scope The possibilities
of such array of forefathers foremohers were
limited at by SAKE, the Satire poet, when he wrote:
Or worse than all, your boosted line
May end in loop of stronger twne
That plagued some worthy relation.
But to get back figures The satistcian says
that every adult citizen has, between the birth OF
Christ and the present moment been blessed with
600 ancestors including fathers and mothers
in-law back through the generations That's eighteen
triion, when you say it quick.
One hundred years ago, the age of Napoleon each
adult now living had eight ancestors Going back $50
years. to the Seven Years War, the table shows there
were sixteen ancestors to each person alive.
From this period back to the birth of Christ the fig
ures grow at ncreduous rate. For instance. dur
ing the Thirty Years War, $50 years ago. 12S ances-
tors had accumulated while $50 years ago. during the
Reformation period they numbered 1924 Four hundred
and fifty ago. when printing was discovered every
adult of today had S,l02 ancestors
From the time of the Monaghan invasion of Europe
TO the present age $50 years. the total number
eesors given by the table is 524S0O while today
back to the time Pope Gregory vIl. installed the
family tree had increased to 16.77O.OOO ancestors
From the time when Mohammed began to preach
new relision down to the present age period of 800
years each adult person claim S7,44OOOO00O an

MonomaniaCs on ancestral portraits have a fine OPP
portunity of making a genealogical gallery that will
ouriyal any gallery in history If they collecting
pictures of their eighteen tron ancestors 1t Is easy
TO see how such staggering figures be produced.
