Don't you know it's very annoying and incOnvenient for
your neghbOr to have you running into her house
her telephone?
Oh noshe says anything about it-she's far too
good natured for that But what do you suppose she really
thinks about it, Put yourself in her place for minute
and try imagine what YOU would think if somebody
kept running into YOUR HOUSE at almost any odd time
of the day or evening to use YOUR TELEPHONE.
When you've thought this and realized what nuis-

First base seems to be the best Of

rect the game. The custodian of that

just how the pitcher is working. He
can direct the whole play by signals,

Many lay the hoodoo on tempera-

That may have something to do
with it in a couple of the cases. But
it won't hold water with the rest.

Chance was beaned number of times

Although soccer football attracts
many more thousands than baseball
the gates are not as large as the re-
turns for the worlds series or big
football matches, because the price of
admission is not as much in England
and Scotland as here. The record at
tendance for a soccer game was the
international between England and
Scotland at Hampden park, Glasgow,
on March %, 1912. The attendance
was 127,307, and the gate receipts, in
GLIDING the money from the stands
and enclosures, amounted to 6997
pounds Is shillings English money!
or less than $4,000. The record at
tendance in England was 12002S
when Aston Villa and Sunderland
played the cup final at the Crystal
palace, London, the present year. The
record game at a football game in
the United Kingdom was at this match
between Ashton Villa and Sunderland,
when the receipts amounted to 9,4O6

TO POSTPONE OLYMPIC DATE
American Team Would Be Hanoi
capped by Early Opening on JULY
1-fe16 Games Will Be Close.

James e. Sullivan, American Olvp,
pic commissioner, has announced that
he would request the German Olvmnic
committee, on behalf of the United
States team, to postpone the openinq
of the Olympic games at Berlin in
1916 at least one week. Accordine to
word received from Berlin. the onAn.
ing events in the track and field nro.
gram are set for July l. This wouId
prove handicap to the American
team, according to Mr.. Sullivan, since
it would require the United States
representatives to sail before the clos
ing of the American colleges and mi.
versities, from which many members
of the 1916 team are expected to he
recruited. In discussing the condi-
tions Mr.. Sullivan said:
1T was the original intention of the
German Olympic committee to omen
the track meet about the middle Of
June. When l was abroad last sum-
mer I explained the situation from an
American standpoint and requested =
later date. The German COMMITTEES
evidently made a concession to us
but, then, to open the games on July
will work a hardship to our team in
1916. The Stockholm games began on
July 6, and a similar date at Berlin
would be far more acceptable. Close
to so per cent. of the team will be
graduated in the spring of that year.
In many cases it would be impossible
for them to leave college before June
Is or later
THE games of 1916 will be closer
and harder to win than ever before
and no team of the size of the Ameri-
can aggregation will have to travel
the distance that ours will be obliged
to undertake. That extra week means
more to the American competitors
than to any other country interested
in the Olympic games, and I feel sure
that when the conditions are under
stood fully by the German committee
the concession will be granted.
According to the present plans Of
the American Olympic committee the
team, which will consist of about $50
athletes, will be quartered in some
suburban hotel, near Berlin, during
the games. Incidentally it may be
stated that the team will not be taken
to Europe in a specially chartered
steamer as was the case in 1912"

Managing and holding down that
cushion don't seem to hitch, writes
Malcolm Mclean in the Chicago
Evening Post. Or, rather, those who
try the stunt are apt to come to a
bitter end.
Glance hurriedly over the following
list, and then see if we aren't on the
right trail:
Frank Chance-Summarily ousted
from the management of the Cabs last
fall by President Murphy.
George Stovall-Po litely deposed
from the leadership of the Browns by
Colonel Hedges, president.

Hal Chase-Boss of the New York
Yankees for a spell, and mighty glad
to get from under.
You can scarcely call any of these
men failures as ball players. The re-
verse is true. In fact, we doubt if you
can name five higher class first sack
ers in the history of the national
game.
Consider them as actual workers
(aside from their careers as man
agers):
Chance-One OF the best men who
ever guarded the station; wonder
on low and wide throws; a 800 hitter
and wonderfully fast and heady
base runner.

butes given to Chance, except he

LAND MONOPOLY IN GREAT BRITAIN.

has promoted agricultural depression,
low wages, unemployment and discon-
tent. ct is notorious" said a city of
London barrister, that large areas of
land which might be with advantage
farmed by desirable tenants willing to
pay a fair market rent are kept back
by owners, who either sit on the prop
erty in the hope of being eventually
able to hatch a higher price, or pre-
serve it for the purpose of game or
ornament for reasons of social pres
tige or sheer sporting instinct. The
extent of this retention of land is con-
clusively evidenced by the numerous
applications that flow in for every
farm that is thrown upon the market
and by the frequent abortive endeav-
ors by actual or would-be small farm
ers to obtain at current market rate
new or additional land for agricultur-
al purposes" The evils of this state
of affairs are manifest. Not only are
many persons thus deprived of the
employment which otherwise they
would be enjoying, but this swelling of
the ranks of the unemployed, some of
whom remain in the country and some
go to the cities, tends to diminish
wages, and, so far as farm products
are concerned, to increase prices.
Poverty, taxation, agriculture, unem-
ployment, housing, the whole economy
Of the social system, are affected by
The land problem.
Very "Soft" for Noble Duke.
The unnecessary burden which falls
upon industry by landlordism in the
form of mining royalties is another
evil result. Mr.. Lloyd-George, the Lib
eral chancellor, estimated it at $40,-
100000 year. The average amount
of royalty on iron ore is 60 cents a
ton on every ton brought to the surf
ace and Is cents on coal. This is paid
to landlords fol- mining royalties in
addition to ordinary leases or dead
rents" in British phrase. Of the coal
mines visited one example will suf-
fee A coal mine operating company
fourteen years ago sank the mine at
an expense of $2,500,000, and, although
as yet no coal has been taken out, the
company has paid in mining royalties
to the duke of Newcastle more than
