NEW YORK, April 4--The raid
Y made by the Federal League
on the ranks of organized
baseball perhaps will mean that more
new stars will rise this year than
ever before.
The fact that the Federals have
grabbed off not only some Of the reg
ulars but also many recruits from the
major leaguers means that the re-
cruits who have remained will have
just about as good a chance of MAX
ing good as they would have had If
the Federals had not INDUCED in their
little game of snatching.
In other years practically every ma
jor league team went to its training
camp loaded to the gunwales with
recruits. The team, of course. car
rIed its regular outfit, and about the
only chance a recruit had was to Gust
a regular-a mighty task--Or to ere
ate for himself a job as utility man.
The fact that each manager had to
look over about fifteen recruits. and
had room for only about two or three
men, made it so that few rockies got
real chance to display their wares.
Many recruits, who, If given a long
trial would have developed into ma
ior leaguers, were turned back to the
bushes because they did not have a
chance to show their real wares in
the first month Of the spring practice.
PUT the situation this year is some
= what different. Nearly every club
has one or two vacancies in the regu-
lar lineup to III from the recruit
ranks. This means that every recruit
will be given a thorough tryout, and
won't be chased back to the bushes

1914 Banner Year for Recruits
Federal Raid Helps Youngsters

the very first time he makes foozle
1t seems Just now as If every or
ganized club will hang onto every
recruit that gives evidence of being
ball player, if for no other reason
than to protect itself Although or
ganized baseball leaders think for
publication that the Federals won't
last until the middle of summer, they
are making plans for a long fight
In case the Federals do amble along
at pretty fair clip up to midsummer
and show signs of Sticking" and
making money in the process, it seems
quite likely that some of the players
in organized baseball, who have held
big Federal offers in allegiance. will
jump because the salary is larger
That will mean a vacancy, and the
wise manager viii hang onto his
promising rockies for just such an
emergency.
FURTHER than this, the organized
baseball managers will not care
to risk sending back to the bushes
recruit who with a little more en-
perience, would be fast enough for
the majors. Such an act will peeye
the said recruit to a certain extent,
and may make him easy prey for
lurking scouts for the Federal League
Another reason why 1914 will be d
banner year for the recruits is that
managers must begin now to develop
youngsters to take the places of the
marvellous veterans-l Wagner,
Leach, Mathewson, Lajoie and others.
The business of developing a man
to take the place of any of these
veterans is not one than can be ac-
complished in one season. Consd-
cradle understanding is necessary,
and two years, even three, is not too
long

Jose Collins
A Musical Comedy Star


Jose Collins has always been a tre-
mendous favorite with the theatre -goiHs
public. and, after you have met her. the
reason is not hard to fathom. For be-
sides being exceedingly handsome. this
versatile actress has certain magnetism
all her own which will insure her popu-
larity wherever She goes.
Her voice is a pure soprano. with a
truly remarkable range, and she takes the
greatest care OF It. 1T am rather sub

ways taken the greatest interest in my

The Invalid's Xmas Tray

The Christmas tray for the invalid
should look its very best. 1t is rather
discouraging to be an invalid on Christ
mas, or any other time, for that matter
so that II you happen TO have one in
the house you can make all the differ
ence in the world to her If you only
know how
The menu of the invalid depends, of
course, upon the Doctors orders. II,
however, the diet is not a strict one, you
can make any number of pretty concoc-
tlons for her tray The first thing to do
is to decorate the tray itself. Holly
leaves may be placed around the edge,
or, If you want to avoid all chance OF
scratches, mistletoe is beautiful. This
may be tied with soft bow of cherry
red ribbon. A clean tray-cloth should be
put in the centre, and small compete
full Of different kinds of fruit makes a
nice first course The fruit can be deco
rated by n couple of mint leaves and a
maraschino cherry.
A plump SQUAD, placed on a miniature
platter, looks like tiny turkey, and will
please the invalid immensely The bird
can be surrounded by mashed potatoes,
or a very dainty way is TO place the po-
tatoes In small mound, with a star OF
the crabapple jelly on the top. The per-
son who has TO carry the tray will ap-
preciate the lack of extra dishes. A
sprig OF holly placed in the centre OF
each dish looks charming.

Dancing Ia a great hobby of hers. and
she confesses to a particular weakness
