big league baseball, for at the close of the 1886 season the club resigned it's membership and was replaced by Pittsburgh. The Pirates, incidentally. played their first game in the Ma tionaI League twenty-seven years ago brewer, was the Kansas City magnate
 Kansas City's next experiences in the major leagues was with club in Ban Johnson's American League When Johnson changed the name of the Western League to the American major circuit, Kansas City enjoyed an4 other year of big league ball, wit4 a club under the management of James
 H. Manning. At the close of the first American League season, Kansas City, along with Buffalo, Indianapolis and Minneapolis, was dropped from the circuit, and were replaced by Wash ington. Baltimore. Boston and Phila- delphia.
 It is a coincidence that Kansas City. now in the Federal League, had club in the first important outlaw circuit, the Union Association, which was or ganized in 1884 in defiance of the national Agreement. The original Union clubs were Baltimore Boston. Philade1phia, Washington, Altoona, Chicago Cincinnati and St Louis, but Altoona soon droppedab the wayside and Kansas City took its place. Later Milwaukee and St. Paul helped to f1n- ish the Union Association's first and last season, which was, fromsla fnan- ciaI viewpoint, the most disastrous in the history of the game.
 Kansas City, Baltimore, Buffalo and Indianapolis, the cities in which the Federals oppose minor league rivals, have all had clubs in both the Nation al and American Leagues. Indiana polls was in the National in 1878 and again in 1888 and 1889. Buffalo was l 8 National League city from 1879 to 1885,. Both Buffalo and Indianapolis were charter members of the Ameri- can League. Baltimore was in the National from 1892 to 1900. and under the management of Ned Han1on, now the Baltimore Federal League pilot captured three pennants. Baltimore had an American League team, under the managementao of John McGraw. in 1901 and 1902.

BOXING NOTES

The trin to Australia. of NIiFburn Say-
 Tor under the guidance of Ray Bron-
 son. was a very successful one Before
 leaving these shores for the Antipodes,
 Saylor was considered only fairly
 good lightweight, although he had bat
 tied with many of the best boys in the country. There was considerable dispute regarding his contest with
 Freddie Welsh at Winnipeg, which one.
 side claimed he lost on a. foul, while the other claimed a victory by the
 Knockout route However, in Austra- Iia, Saylof left no ground for dispute in any of his matches, except the one he had at Brispane; and from all ac-s counts he should have won that on a Knockout and not lost it on a foul as the referee decided. The papers of that city were very plain in their statenents and said that Saylor should have won the contest without Eany doubt. Prior to the first contest the Indianapolis lightweight had Tn Australia, he made a wager with his
 manager that he would win four of the five contests by knockout. The wager was for $1O0 and Saylor won it. He met the toughest men they had over there. starting with Ali Mercy. whom he put to sleep after hard battle; then turning the same kipd of | a trick with Hughie Mehegan, the for m CT champion of Austra1ia; next stop 1 ping Herb Mccoy in a terrific battle 1 of sixteen rounds and winding up with ] a knockout of Mat Williams, whom he put to sleep in two rounds. It is cer- tain1y a splendid record for the young American and when he returns to this country in May he will no doubt be
 given 8 chance to go against the top jnotchers Bronson has already sent | a challenge for a match with Willie iRitcflie and it is possible that they
 may be hooked up for championship
 battle later on.

YOUNGsTER PITCHES NO HIT CONTEST
 AGAINST FORDHAM

Bob Johnson, on the mound for Ursinus. held Fordham hit1ess yester- day afternoon on F'ordham Field and beat them 3 to 0. in a game which took but an hour and twenty minutes. Johnson certainly had the curve on the ball as far as the Maroon bats men were concerned for he tanned fourteen of them and gave but three free tickets.
 Not a Fordham man got past sec ond base. and only two of them got that far.

 Surely said his father. ''It is per fectly alright if instead of dancing the partners prefer to sit quietly some where and talk eat ices. Even if you dance you will sit out for little while with your partner before the music begins again. But you must not go into a very hidden corner and become so absorbed in conversation that you quite forget the next dance"

Slim McCIintock is bound to be big favorite with the fans. The 1a.nl1y first sacker has a great reach and it will take a high throw to go over his dome. In the first inning when he made a quick play on Tierney's grounderJ and forced Jones at second. Stow returned the heave. to first in an effort to make double play The heave was very high but McClintock went up like an elevator and captured the sphere.
 Manager Boultes had hard luck with the bat. He clouted hard each time but the ball always went right at some fielder.
 Manager Billy Hamilton was busy on the third base line encouraging his Springfield players. The Ponies are a steady fielding crowd but don't ap- pear to have much power. They had many opportunities to score runs but couldn't get the ball out of the in field.

EDWARD
HEATING
Congressman from
Colorado
Child-Labor Bill
An Important Measure

house has passed the senate bill
granting residents on reclamation
projects twenty years in which to
pay for their water rights. The
western mem bers, led by Taylor of
Colorado, Hayden of Arizona and
Raker of California, made a gal
liant fight, but they would have
been imponent if it had not been
for the powerful support of Secre-
tary Lane and Congressman Oscar
Underwood, the leader of the ma
jority.
The battle ragged around the pro-
posal to compel the water users to
pay interest on their deferred pay
ments. The westerners pointed
out that this was clear violation
of the understanding between the
settlers and the government and
pleaded that the contract should
not be changed in so vital a par
ticular at this late date. The ultra
con Sc rvationists, captained by
Leader Mann of the Republican
minority, Madden of Illinois and
Shirley of Kentucky, argued that
Uncle Sam was entitled to interest
on "his investment" Their rea-
soning was very plausible to those
who were not familiar with west
ern conditions, and unfortunately
10 per cent of my colleagues never
saw an irrigation hitch, dry-land
claim or forest rangers lodge.
am convinced we would have
gone down to defeat if Underwood
had not come to our rescue When
he entered the melee he proved a
formidable ally.
who are we asking to pay this
interest, Mr.. Chairman he ex-
claimed. Are they the great cor
porations of this country? Is it
the wealth of the country? Is it
well-to-do people? No. We are
asking lot of people who have
been unable to buy a home for
themselves up to this time, who
were invited to the west for a free
home, many of whom have been
living in sand and dirt for years
without schools, without water,
without houses in which to shelter
themselves and their families, and

ago l assisted in reporting to the
house Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmers child-la bill No more
important measure will claim the
attention of this congress. AS the
representatives of a great republic,
we have faced the reproach that
I'VE spent millions on pigs and
practically nothing on kids" There
Is enough truth in the statement
to make it sting.
Our answer is the Palmer bill.
and | believe it will prove com
plete and satisfying answer,
Palmer is one of the impressive
figures in the house. He comes of
good old Pennsylvania Quaker
stock. He smashed the corrupt
Gutfey machine which for years
dominated the councils of the Dem
ocratic party of Pennsylvania and
he carried solid delegation to the
Baltimore convention to work and
vote for Wilson.
The story is told do not vouch
for its truth-th that when the Clark
boom was at its height during that
memorable convention Wilson, be-
coming discouraged, wired Palmer
to withdraw his name, but the in
trepid son of Penn tore up the
message and ordered another Will
son demonstration
Be that as it may, everyone con-
cedes he did as much as any other
individual to make the governor of
New Jersey the president of the
United States He was rendered a
place in the cabinet, but declined
and then became the Wilson floor
leader in the house. Now he is
contesting for the senatorial toga
with Boies Penrose and every gen
uine progressive hopes he will win.
FIRST OF IT'S KIND.
1t is entirely appropriate that
such man should father the first
national child-labor law which has
succeeded in running the gauntlet
of the committees.
The Palmer bill is supplied with
real teeth and if enacted will put
an end to the employment of chill
dren in unhealthful or dangerous
occupations. 1t provides that no
child under sixteen shall be en-
ployed in mine or quarry and
that none under fourteen shall
work in a mill, factory or work
shop
Those employers who disregard
the law will not be permitted to
ship the products of their estab-
lishments in interstate commerce
OF course we have already been
met with the CRY that this is "un-
constitutional and IAN interfer-
ence with states rights" but the
committee was not disturbed by
the protests. We knew it was the
only way to secure an effective ma
tional child-la labor law and we de.
cided to pass the question OF its
constitutionality up to the SUI
preme court.
Such an eminent authority on
constitutional law as Dean Lewis
of the University of Pennsylvania
assured us it would stand the test
In addition, we all know that pop
ular sentiment is potent even in
the chambers of the august jus.
tees of the nations mightiest tri-
bunal and there can be no mistak.

lation to conserve the lives Of the

RURAL CREDITS AGAIN.
The big question before con-
gress at the Decem Der session will.
be the establishment of a proper
rural credit system. With the as
sistance of a gentleman who has
given much thought to the sub
ject, l have prepared and intro
duced bill creating bureau of
farm loans in the treasury depart
ment. 1t is lengthy measure,
but it's vital features may be stated
in two sentences.
The existing limit on deposits in
postal savings banks is removed
and the money thus secured ID
loaned on farm mortgages at per
cent.
The scheme is not new, although
we put in great deal of time and
thought on the details. Australia
is doing the same thing and doing
it most successfully. OF course
that does not mean that it would
work in this country, but it does
indicate that the idea is worth con-
sidering.

bill and | will be glad to distribute

Great Britain formally declared

refusal of Germany to respect the
neutrality of Belgium, which the
former country had already viola

Russia, France and Great Britain

wide conflict now begun. Italy
