heed, but went on to the swimming
pool. He watched his friends swim
for little while and then he could
resist the temptation no longer. His
little friends were all eager to teach
him to swim, so he was quite sure
that with SO many around he could
learn easily. He soon learned a few
strokes, and OF course. he was very
proud at his progress. He persuaded
his friends to go ashore and watch
him swim alone. When he reached
the middle of the pool his strength
failed him and he began to cry for
his comrads to come and help. They
at once began to swim towards him.
but before they were able to reach
him he had gone down for the second
time. They waited for him TO rise
and just before he went down for
the third times they caught him up
and swan ashore. They knew very
little about getting the water from

SEAT OF WAR, Jan. 3d.
Gen. Jose Tinker has just replied
to the national question, "Can the
Federal league succeed?" by
blowing up another bulwark of
organized baseball. The war is
raging close to the citadel, with
the Federals threatening to carry
the second line of defenses by as
sault.
This Tinker person, discarded
by the Chicago Cubs, thrown out
of Cincinnati, suddenly has be-
come the biggest figure, in sport
in America, IL not In the world.
During the last busy month he
has led the attack. The sit re-
ports are:
Allies, 80 captured. 1 recap
tured.
Federals claim to have signed
nearly 100 major league players.
Total value of these players
about 100000.
Cost to Federals in salaries
about $4,000.
Minor leaguers captured, about
50.
Value of organized ball, about
$4,000.
Cost in excess salaries to Fed
erals, about $4,000.
Estimated increase major
league salaries to retain players,
100000.
The Federals give figures, over
estimated in instances, but their
figures are strong reply to the
question as to whether or not
they can exist.
Can the Federal league exist?
Can 1t prosper?
Is there a field for It?
