New York, March THAT the pur-

soroed, was tho gist of the testimony
OF James Gayley. ex-vice- president of

Attorney Dickinson to-day This
statement is taken by the government
attorneys who are conducting the suit
for tho dissolution of tho two com
panies to mean that tho steel trust
had an eye on the Tennessee Coal and
Iron properties. but had awaited n IA
vorabIe opportunity TO acquire them.
Gayley told Judge Dickinson that
he had advised the purchase of the
Tennessee company III 1906. Gaylcy
pleaded time and again that his NOM
DRY failed him on important points.
particularly whom asked about tho
Lake Superior district holdings OF the
trust before and after the acquisition
OF the property in question. He also
said that he did not know Of any com
bination to support fictitious prices
of pig iron, nor OF any agreement
between tho Carnegie Company and
tho Federal Steel Company to close
down furnaces and thus force down
tho price of pig iron. His testimony
as whole was of little value to the

the list. That wouldn't indicate
that the individuals are any strong
err either in batting or in stealing
bases.
"Of course, in many other ways
baseball has gone ahead. When
was in the game baseball was
sport. Today it is a business.
There were mighty few of US a
dozen years ago who saved any
money. At the present the aver
age chap takes up baseball for ten
years, saves his money and then
starts up in business. All that has
come with the publicity given the
game and the bigger attendance,
which permits the payment of
larger salaries.
There are more ball players to-
day who are deeper students of the
business they are following, and
watch the opposing players more
closely to determine what are their
weaknesses. Also they play more
for one run than we used to do.
We wanted to be ahead four or
five runs. Nowadays the team cap
tain is quite satisfied when he Is a
run to the good. That makes closer
scores, and probably the spectators
are all the more satisfied.
Il don't know that / have pointed
out what | have meant to show, but
| want to impress upon the younger
generation the class of men who
made baseball in my day, who built
the foundation for the big organi-
cations of the present time. Men
like Clark Griffith, Jimmy Callahan,
Frank Chance. Cap Arson, John j.
McGraw, Connie Mack, Bobby Nc
Aleer and Jake Stahl all played
with me. Today they are manag-
ing major league clubs, and the
fact that they have been able to
keep apace with the changes shows
that baseball hasn't stepped any too
lively for them"
