Judgments

" Is quite apparent and agreed
among sport writers that the Mexi-
can war Is having a depressing ef-
- feet upon base ball The average
newspaper reader finds time for
little more these days, than war news.
What has that to do with the game7
Everything. Take newspaper publicity
out OF it and base ball. grand and great
game it is, would almost go begging.
II is rightly recalled that the Spanish
American war had similar effect on
base ball and that now there is the Fed
erai, the third major leaue, to add to the
diversification of interests. You won't
talk long with the average big league fan
these days without discovering this. that
his favoritism as to teams or leagues is
much less marked and fixed this year
than formerly. He is trying to take in
the whole situation and naturally finds 1t
difficult at first glance Some Of his old
favorites are heroes on the new diamond,
others have shifted their base from Amer
ican to National and vice versa, and from
one team to another in both leagues until
he finds himself up against the condition
of reconstructing his system OF devotion
and favoritlsm from the ground up. The
West Side, Chicago. is as notable case
as any in hand, but not the only one.
There you find almost none OF the old
Cub spirit in the followers Of the game.
The void is reflected-very painfully 70
the management-in the attendances. The
team. itself. must feel 1t, or something
quite as disconeerting, for It is having
tough time keeping out Of the cellar.
Some Of the close-hand students OF the
general situation are predicting deficits
for some majors this year unless things
change soon. That might happen, how
ever, without breaking those who lose.
Tor it has been a good while since some
OF them lost. II is not entirely the effect
of the war, either in Mexico or the base
ball world. that Is being felt, except so
far as the latter is concerned; that 1t is
the harvest of the whirlwind that was
sown in the wind these last few years.
Certain consequences follow certain
causes in base ball as elsewhere, grand
opera, for instance.

Mitchell, Feb. 2s.-The proposed
amendment to the federal constitu.

This statement was made here today

According to the statement made by
Supt. Holsaple, the various candidates

sympathy with the constitutional
amendment. The personal attitude OF
each candidate was not asked.

WAR SCARE DRIVES
FOREIGN RATES Up
Local Banks Note Increase
on Drafts on London Insti-
stitutiOn.

The outbreak of hostilities in Eu-
rope has greatly affected the foreign
draft rates as quoted to the local
banking institutions today. This was
expected by the local bankers as it is
always the case in times of unrest.
The foreign draft rates on the Bank
of London increased from 4.8S1a to
4.90 pounds sterling, as noted in the
last quotations to the banks of this
country.
The Bank of England today raised
its minimum rate of discount an en-
tire point, making it per cent. This
was taken as protective step in view
of the chaotic conditions on the CONT
nent, following the outbreak of the
war. There have been great demands
on the Bank of England by the coun-
tries on the continent and the stress
was getting SO keen that it was
