YOU CAM TRADE
4 TURKEY FOR A
SPARROW TODAY
Baseball Managers All Afraid
to Let Players Go Nowadays
for Fear Federal League viii
Grab EN-.
BY BILL HALEY.


CHICAGO Jan 9-fIere is one
time. and about the only time. in the
history % baseball. when YOU couldn't
trade a turkey for a sparrow.
or. as Jack Hendricks would SAY.
YOU could not hand a fellow a ton "
coal for a scuttlc of ashes
The reason? The Federal league.
Many managers were present when
the bis fellows of baseball gathered
iu Cincinnati. But nothing resembling
a trade was made And it was be-
cause the managers did not know
where they stood with their playtgs.
Here Is an illustration. Johnny
Evers and Miller Huggins get to-
gethcT. They talk trade Huggins
SAYS 10 EVers that he would like 20
trade an inhelder for an outneldcr.
tie names the man he would let go.
Also the man he wants In return.
\ow IL so happens that the fellow
whom Higgins is willing 20 separate
himself from is not under contract.
OF which Evers is fully aware. What
does Eyers think Well under or
binary conditions ne might so throueh
with the deal But not this time.
What assurance has ne that the fell
low Hugcins wants 10 come 10 Chi
cago has not been tempted by the
Federal league None. So Johnny
declines a trade. or he holds it up
TO await developments.
That's merely orc phase of H. Here
is another Higgins. failing 90 do
business with Evecs. walks over TO
Charles Herzog and suggests trade.
Huggins is still searching for an out
fielder.
III give you this fellow who is one
of the best utility ndeiders in the
game, for that fellow ] want him
FOR my outdeld." SAYS Tluggins. Then
what happens. At first thought the
trade looks "a good one 10 HerzOg. he
needs a utility inGelder whom Hug
gins can let him have. ON top of
that he doesn't require the services
OF the Outfelder whom Huggins wants.
Now, II the times were different me
wouldn't hesitate "a moment Tie
trade looks good TO him.
Won't Take Chance.
But. And he remembers that he
has but one utility outnelder. Now
II he should trade that fellow for
even a man whom ne needed ne would
be IN a mighty bad way III one of his
regular fly chasers should nirt and be
hooked by the FederaIs No. the
margin is too close and he must play
IL safe. Because he knows that about
every fellow IN the game who isn't
tied mp 10y contract has been am
preached and he suddenly remerl beers
that two of his regular outhelders
haven't affixed their signatures So
ne won take "A chance. Because n
one of his regular players should
Jump that lone substitute would be
all that ne had 10 fall back on
As one manager said. "a fellow might
wake up along about time 10 start on
the training trip and discover that
he had about ten inhelders and only
one outnelder
So The trading game is on the de-
cline. OF course. where the men
under consideration are under con-
tract there is not much danger OF the
deal not being lived up to- But where
manager has only one or two utility
men you can wager he isn't going 90
trade them until he knows that me
has sufficient regulars under contract
10 man his IN and Out6elds

The Land Question in. Mexico.
From the Christian Herald

From the Christian Herald.
When General Villa, the rebel COM
n in Mexico, issued his decree
confiscating the vast estates of the
Creel and Terrazas families in behalf
of the people, he let in a light which
strikes very close to the heart of the
real problem in that republic. One
must go deeper than the news in the
daily press to find the cause of the
troubles in Mexico, and the reason for
the continued unrest, out of which has
sprung the apparently endless success
sion of revolutions in that country. II
is the old evil of the absorption OF
the land and the exploitage of the COM
mon people by clever n INSCRIPTIONS
men, singly and in combination. They
want the land and the right to share
in its products. At the present time
700 patrician families w practically
the whole Of agricultural Mexico. The
people also want the total abolition OF
peonage, which is simply slavery. They
had a glimpse Of greater possibilities
during Madero's administration: but
these were swept away by the rise OF
Huerta. It is their struggle for the
realization of these hopes that has o
for them the sympathy of lovers OF
progress and justice everywhere.

NO POSSIBILITY OF HELP
Actor Had Been Called on So Often
That Further Assistance Was
Out of the Question.

When September Morn" was In ito
final week Of rehearsal a bare spot
in act III. gave unbounded annoyance
to the actors, and the managers, the
librettist, who was appealed to again
and again to do something to brighten
a scene which was simply talk, and
yet could not be cut out without
throwing awry the stage directors
scheme of songs, dances and costume
changes. The librettist at length
made this appeal to Dave" Lewis, the
star of the piece:
Say, old fellow, you've been a
comedian for 20 years and must have
a trunkful of hokum. Won't you dig
down into it and fish UP something
that will help us owe this spot?"
Mr.. Lewis answer was:
i've been an actor for 20 years,
and | had a trunkful CT hokum. But
I've dug down SO often fixing up the
first and second acts that the trunks
empty and there's a hole in the bot

INDIA FUNERAL PYRE
ImmoIation Of Silent Figure While
Brother Looked on In
Bitter Grief.

Even as we came opposite the bear
ers lifted one of them, all cool and
dripping, from the river and set it,,
the slim, small figure. so quiet, so
content. on a half-built pyre, G. f..
Benson writes in the Century. Brush
wood and fagots were built over 1t
and at the head and foot and sides
the fire wac applied. A Brahman di-
rected the rites and once, as the
flames mounted and aspired, the
brother, who was watching, clutched
at his heart as there appeared for a
moment at the top Of the pyre a
girls face, with closed eyes and
mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil OF flame shrouded it
again. The smoke. rose in gray
whorls and streamers against the
stainless and tender blue of the sky,
and still the brother watched, quiet
again and composed: he had given
only that one sign to show that he
loved her whose ashes now lay among
the charred and smoldering logs. Or
rather It was only for the moment
that, thinking of days of childhood
and dawns by the riverside, he forgot
that 1t was not she who had been
consumed in the flames Of the pyre.
Then he remembered again, and look
Ing up from the pyre to the dazzling
river he saw there on our boat his
friend, the Brahman, and smiled to
him.

MEDIATORS Receive
Note FROM CARRANZA
BY FRED S. FERGUSON.
A.


NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June o.
General Carranza has framed a reply to
the note of the A. B. G. mediators,
transmitted through the Constitution
alist iunta at Washington. The commu-
nication, which is in response to what
amounted to renewed invitation for
the Constitutionalists to participate in
the mediation conferences upon cOndi-
ton that they declare an armistice, may
reach here tomorrow.
Frederick w. Lehman, of the Ameri-
can mediation delegation, informed the
mediators today that a reply from Car
rama was on the way. He came TO the
Clifton Hotel from the American side
shortly after 10 o'clock and was in
earnest conversation with Ambassador
Da Cana for more than a half hour.
At the conclusion of their talk il was
stated that the mediators had decided
to withhold a contemplated statement
i'm which all correspondence between
the A. b. c. ENJOYS and the Constitu-
tionalists was to have been made public.
Just when the note of General Carranza
will reach here is uncertain, but the
communications will now be withheld
until something more definite has been
accomplished.
The mediators had assumed that as
week had elapsed without reply
from Carranza, the incident was closed
and planned to make public the CORE
spondence today.

the first part OF the show there is an
excellent minstrel and vaudeville show
and il concludes with farce comedy
which is considerably above the kind
usually seen at parks. The attendance
was large, despite the threatening
weather The moving pictures telling
the story of Warren McCarrick, Phil
adelphia boy, Tor whose safe return
there is a reward of $4,000 offered, are
also an interesting feature. The pic
lures give a good idea of the whole
story and there are some excellent like
