And this makes his present position the
more impressive.
President Navn appreciates Bush 5
work. And he showed his appreciation
in the figures incorporated i'll the 1872
contract. 1t was thought the figure
would prove satisfactory to the little
shortstop, but on the face of affairs this
belief has been refuted.
Bush is one of three remaining players
as yet unsigned. Gamer the tall first
sacker, hasn't sent his contract. but he
has been in constant communication with
President Navin, and he has no protests
on the remuneration offered for the 1912
work. Willett, the other Tiger out of the
fold, is always late sending in his con-
tract, and no Importance is attached to
his position.
Il believe Bush will send in his con-
tract signed. but he should hurry up
and do it, said Secretary Charles Navin
this morning. He has been ordered to
report in Detroit Saturday, March 8, to
go with the veterans to Monroe. We
have received no answer to several let
tiers, but it is our position that the player
is merely neglectful in his correspond
ence."

] Washington is just now in the throes
| of wrestling epidemic. sport which
has been placed under the ban in nearly
| every city in the country, including
| New York, where there are more "coine
ons" to the square inch than any
| where in the world, seems actually to
have aroused interest here
Wrestling is splendid sport, but, un-
| fortunately, over 80 per cent of the So
called contests are nothing more than
prearranged exhibitions. and it is this
| fact which has virtually killed the game
all over the country. Washington, how
ever, seems to be late in the awakening,
and is displaying so enormous quantity
of fall guys" that it would not be at al
surprising to see an invasion here shortly
| of the gentry who operate with shells
and rubber pill
Just how long Washington will sup
port this game is hard to say, but in
other cities the interest has been short
lived. Chicago closed it's doors to all
wrestlers after the Gotch- Hackenschm1dt
fiasco, and yet no one has ever been able
to trace a fake to Gotch. In New York
two of the most prominent grapplers
could not draw a handful Of people IL
they guaranteed to tear each other to
pieces, while there are any number OF
big cities where no attempt to stage
wrestling match has been made in years
for the very good reason that in the
public opinion wrestlers as class have
never been on the square.
But the public may be directly re-
sponsible for the deterioration of this
sport. A wrestling bout which is strict
ly on it's merits is seldom interesting,
while the fake contests furnish all sorts
of impossible breaking of holds and ex-
citement. 1t is doubtful if the public
would support square wrestling, and
those in the game were virtually forced
to hippodrome in order to please the
spectators.
Abe AttelPs experience in San Fran
cisco last might should prove warn
ing to Jack Johnson. Age is sure to
tell on an athlete. and youth is bound
to triumph. Johnson, because of his
idleness, is aging. He is no longer
young fellow, and the time is sure to
come when he must relinquish his hold
on the championship title Atteu was
considered invincible, and no doubt a
few years ago a man of Kilbane's caliber
would have stood little chance against
him. But years lessen the speed of
fighter, and Johnson will hardly differ
from the men who preceded him as
champions of the world.
With the. acquisition of Catcher Will
liams late of Boston, the Street-Knight
deal looks better than ever from a local
standpoint. Griffith now has three young
catchers of much promise every one of
whom will improve instead Of go back,

NEW LEAGUES ARE OUTLAWS
President Lynch Declares They Will
Not Be Recognized.

NEW YORK, February 23.-Presiden,
Thomas ]. Lynch of the National League
declared last night, that the proposed
United States and Columbian leagues
which are trying to break into the major
league cities, will be regarded by the
officials of organized base ball as nothing
more than outlaws
The remark was prompted by the report
from Cincinnati that August Hermann
said that he did not regard the new
leagues as outlaws, and If the Cincin-
natl team, of which he is president, had
any surplus players which all the other
major league teams would waive on, the
independents were welcome to them Mr.
Lynch declared he could not believe Mr..
Hermann had said this. and that SO far
as he was CONGO ned the new leagues
would get no. recognition from the Ma
tional League.

Ware the Octoous

The octopus has been discovered again. This time he exists in the form of the three big life insurance companies of New York These com panies are said to be controlled by AIr Morgan. and they are said to pay that lucky gentleman $I.-ooooe.eoo a year This IS tae latest "prosre+ sive~ discovery
 Well. it's just as easy to talk of billions aS Of millions And if amy body wants to believe an impossibintg there is no law to prevent that be- lief
 As it happens. however, the total amount of money n circulation in the United States is less than S3.5oo.oe".- Ooo So. if MT Morgdn's three big life insurance companies yield an an- nual income of SI.Iu9.oouooo m just about two years they will have all the cash there is: and then they will have to stop business. because nobody can pay any more premiums.
 Of course. everybody with a grain of sense will know that this asscr- ton about .thc three big New York companies" haviug an annual Income of $l.7oo.ooo.ooo does not contain d word Of truth. The total annual iu- come of all the companies operating in the state of New York-and there are almost 200 Of them-is less than half that sum. The aggregate income or every "old line company which reports to the New York insurance department is about $7oooooo ouo The aggregate assets of the three biggest life insurance companies in the world meaning every cent they are worth -is slightly less than SI.7Ooooo.ooo. which is said To he the annual income of "Mr. Morsan's three companies

It is also worth mem tioning that these IS9 companies have insurance in force to the amount of more than fifteen and half billion dollars There are about 3o.ooo,ooo policies in force
 It may be worth while to say that these figures are authoritative. They are taken from the Insurance Year Book.

or course it is largely the affair of the democrats. but the sooner one of them. if he can. closes the facial orifice of one Col Bryan with trust worthy paddock the better it will be for the democrats and the sooner will the rest of the country have the chance to enjoy a long needed and much desired rest. Bryan has deyel- oped into male termagaut, scold of the common. or garden variety. He is as logical as a socialist and as rest ful as boil His principal business asset k his mouth.
 There are a few men whose hold on the populace can never be explained, and Bryan is one of them. He has never achieved any success. He has never. been guilty of d single con structive act He has written no law, discovered no principle. enacted no re- form He has done no great evil and no great good His life is as color less as chalk. Its dead monotony is

relieved only by his supreme cgotism.
 The history of Bryan's achieve mcuts would seem to be enough. He served a term in congress where his advocacy of p"puliSm made his scrv- ices uugatory. He tried pracucins law and achieved the success of she average third rate practitioner He wrote editorials for an Omaha paper at the salary of au average reporter II, ran three times for the prcsi- dcu,v aud was beaten by succcsSivcN larger majprltics at each succeeding trial His one success has been in thc publication or the Commoncr. which has brought him considerable money but has in no sense developed his taicut Here i- the one example in his,or2. where a great political party has taken it~ policies and its principles from a patent failure

 Bryan has Lraycd against every man. democrat and republican, whom n, suspects of conservatism. In his srlcuc,e vision conservatism is a his~ug and a rcproach Let man reject the Bryan socialistic program and he is mmedia;eI. hooked ap with lvau street and the interests" It is enough for the gentleman from Ne nrasEa that a man may have achieved some degree of success-that he may have earned a few more dollars than thc average. That man IS damned
 Bryan isn't satisfied with Clark he isn't satisfied with Underwood: he isn't satisfied with Harmon probably because all these mcu have been con ~picuousIy successful He thinks John Sharoth. of Colorado, is about the right size for the presidency. And he says LaFouet,e is the original pro arcssiye.
 Mir. Bryan is one of those gentle men who relies on his imagination for his facts and his memory for his wit He seems almost to think himself in spired. He is the one man who can make no mistake. He iS not satisfied to govern his own conduct but he seeks to govern the conduct of every body else.
