Back to the Author.

The woman was the author OF a
cook book that had been published at
her request with wide margins and oc-
casional blank pages for notes and adj
ditional recipes. Often she had ex-
pressed wish to see an old copy Of
the book and find out to what use the
blank spaces had been put. One day
in a secondhand book store her hus-
band unearthed an old volume, Motto
ing that it had been anticipated freely,
he bought it. After day or two he
said:
How about the notes in that cook
book? Were they interesting"
No. she said CURLY; they didn' t
amount to anything"
When he got chance he looked
through the book himself. Every note
the book contained was a remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble.

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing a large quantity of electrical ma
teriaL and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he received sheaf of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. AS a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer. If the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig it out for
himself, for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows of it

PRESENTS WERE WAITING HIM
Forfeited Trinkets Were at Bottom of
Mill Pond Where Sweetheart Had
Thrown Them.

A young mill hand, having lost his
sweetheart through his own hot-head-
ed folly, first threatened to commit
suicide, and then became vulgarly in
sistent in his demands for the re-
turn of the presents he had given
her.
What good will they be to you if
you're goin' TO drown yourself in t
mill pond!" she scoffed.
Never you mind / want them
back" he said evasively.
Very well, I'll see that you have
them" the girl reluctantly agreed.
But five days passed and the young
man still bemoaned the loss of the for
telted trinkets. Once more he request
ed and their return.
On, lad, | wish you'd stop worryin'
me" sighed the girl, anxious by now
for reconciliation, I've given t. pres
ents up long since. They're waiting
for at t bottom O. t. mill pond, tied up
in a red handkerchief; you can't miss
but see 'em when you jump in.''-Man-

a look over the youngsters now ca
vorting on major league diamonds we
find evidence in abundance to indi-
cate that such is the state of affairs.
Many youthful players have bobbed
up into the spotlight of stardom since
the 1913 season got under way, more
than for number of seasons back.
An even dozen youngsters have shot
forth this year as real masters of
the mound-seven in the American
league and five in the national Twelve
debutante twirlers who already rank
close to the best of the veterans. In
Ban Johnson's circuit Boehling and
Engel of Washington, Russell of the
White Sox, Houck and Brown of the
Athletics, Heating of the Yankees and
Leverenz Of the Browns have made
good right off the reel, while Tom
Lynch's organization boasts Demaree
Of the Giants, Mayer of the Phillies,
Rudolph and James of the Braves and
Chief Johnson of the Reds.
Unless the expensive Larry Chap
pcll fulfills expectations, the Ameri-
can league will not be able to boast
a single star infielder, though the Ma
tional glories in the possession of
three in Stengel of Brooklyn, Burns
of New York and Kommers of Pitts
burgh.
The older organization has also been
more fortunate in developing star in
fielders. Viox of the Pirates, Cutshaw
of Brooklyn and Groh of the Reds are
crack second basemen; Maranville OF
Boston is a shortstop of the first cali:
Der; Myers of the same team, is

EXPENSE OF BASEBALL
Few Clubs viii Show Profit This
Year, Says SomerS.
President of Cleveland Club Details
Cost of Running Team and Says
Game Has Not improved to
Any Extent Recently.

Few of the major league clubs
will show a dollar profit this year, "
remarked President Charles Somers
of the Cleveland club recently. THE
fixed expenses are too great, and with
the modern plants to take care OF
only winners have chance.
1T takes $1,000 day, rain or shine,
to run a first-class major league club
at the present time, while one-half OF
this amount would run a club in the
American league ten years ago. ]
doubt if the article of baseball is as
good as it was at that time, and the
only Improvement that | can notice
is in conducting the game.
"Ten thousand dollars was paid
years ago, but they were not crude
minor league players, with only q
fair chance to make good. They were
the best in the business, and the
brand of player that would bring
$4,000 at the present time. However.
ket, for the club owners know that ii
would be a sure suicide to dispose OF
a first-class man for cash
Champion teams often break Ut
in a year or two, and unless well han
died become plaything, as players
go to the bad when they lose theil
ambition
Chicago is the only western city
that can live without Sunday ball, and
this helps the eastern clubs wher
playing in the west. The western
clubs are well handled from a bust
ness standpoint and all have fins
plants, and Pittsburgh and Cincinnati!
can boast of baseball parks the equal
of any in the country while the st
Louis owners will build a new one
this winter The one magnate to let
we'll enough alone is the little "shau.
neen" Of Chicago. In this way he
has the game beat, and is not worry.
ing about increased expenses.
"The minor leagues are growing
stronger financially each season and
they are satisfied with modest ball
parks. 1t does not take a national
bank to run clubs minus a small army
of officers with nothing to do but look
wise and draw down fat salaries. l
know of league clubs who pay their
officers more salary than it took to
run the league twenty years ago.
"The players are the only winners,
whether the club makes good or not.
Attendance at the games bothers them
but little, and they travel better than
grand opera singers. AS rule the
boys are we'll behaved, and would
rather talk of farming, fishing or
hunting than baseball. They have no
interest in the history Of the game
or the great work of the builders up
of plays, invented by men long since
dead There has been nothing new
in baseball in the last twenty years.
"Ninety-nine per cent Of the pres
ent-day players are simply imitators,
with never thought of anything
new until the game has grown me-
chanical. The club owners, cold and
businesslike, lack the enthusiasm OF
the old stakeholder"
