HERE'S FOR BASEBALL!

The manner in which local fans are
gripping the baseball situation shows
that Americas is to have baseball this
season and the best baseball when
the city is able to support The or
ganization Of the local club yesterday
gets baseball affairs here into definite
hands for this season, so that more
progress may be expected than has
recently been the case.
The choice of officers for the new
club is gratifying. These are men
who have been closely identified with
the game here in the past and men
who have the spirit of the people IF
Americas at heart in carrying on the
affairs of the team. 1t requires just
such men at the head of the team to
make it go as it should.
Americas has beea little slow in
organizing it's club, but there has been
no doubt of the feeling of the fans
here as regards baseball Americas
is to get into the game with a genuin-
ely live team. For years the suprem-
acy of Americas in the field of anna
teur baseball has not been questioned
The same zeal and lively support that
the fans here have given to amateur
ball they will give to the semi-profes-
sional ball which will be served to
the teams in the Empire State League
Every local lover, of the game-and
they are legion-will wish the mau-
agement of the local club all good
fortune in their selection of players
and their general conduct of the af-
fairs of the club The people of Am.
CIRCUS and this entire section are in.
terested in the success of the Ameri.
Gus ball club. and it is the sincere
hope of all interested that the affairs
of the club will be conducted to the
greatest satisfaction of all concerned

ARE YOU AN ULTIMATE con-
SUMER!

"Where?" YEARLY asks a Washing
ton newspaper, is the ultimate con-
sumer, in the tariff hearings?' and
then goes on to tell of the sugar men
and rice men. the bootmakers, the silk
and wooden goods and farming nipple
ment manufacturers, and all the rest,
who have appeared to argue against
any tariff reductions in their respec-
tive lines.
Was it not Senator Lodge who
drew down upon himself storm by
saying that there was on ultimate
consumer"
Yet the experience in Washington
would go TO show that there is no.
at least not in the sense that any ap-
preciable or vocal element considers
itself primarily in that classification
There is much truth, in a way, IL
what Mr. Lodge said.
Few Americans consider themselves
ultimate consumers" but take theil
first thought for the thing or the ser
vice they produce This is true, ever
down through the ranks of wage-earn
ers. Propose to them a change tt
have their wages increased-and the!
will rally by the thousands. Suggest /;
danger of wage-reduction and thei
agents will appear in no mean array
But in the price of their bread ant
meat and shoes they take an academic
interest, little more. What concern
them most is what they GET-no
what they pay.
Even the much-abused middlemal
will valiantly declare that he serves
just and proper economic purpose
while no class is so confident in it
self-classifcation as producers as .
the farming contingent in the popula
ton.
What has been going on in Wash
ington is indicative of a national cas-
of thought The racial characteristic
is to MAKE, not to save.
