GIANTS DESIRE FARM.
May Purchase Jersey City Club in
Order to Protect Surplus PLAYERS.

NEW YORK, December 2a.--In order
to save its large collection OF promising
young players. who will have to be turned
loose when the major league seasons he
gin, it is not unlikely that the New York
Giants will buy q minor league club be-
fore next season where the young players
can be farmed out. 1t was stated today
that one of the clubs in the International
League might be purchased for this pur-
pose.
The negotiations for the transfer of the
Jersey City club to Syracuse did not pro-
gress as far as the International League
club owners expected when the matter
first came up few weeks ago, and since
that time the New York club has become
interested in the proposition. II the
Giants acquire the Syracuse club, it is
very likely that Manager Mc'zraw will see
that George WiItse, who has been uiicon-
uitionally released, will get the job as
manager. With an International Lea que
club 10 farm his players, Manager Nc
Graw could hold all his youngsters from
season to season and prevent them from
going back to the clubs from which they
We're drafted.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAE.
Smyrna.

Smyrna is cosmopolitanism raised 10
the nth power. and you sense the fact
before ever you set foot in the city.
The harbor itself is crowded with the
ships of all nations, for Smyrna is one OF
the best ports of the ottoman empire.
The quay is bordered with substantial
buildings of the most European aspect
while beyond them rise the white min
arets of Mosem mosques and the oarh
cypresses Of Turkish cemeteries the
nointed spires of Christian churches ana
tl,e rounded roofs of synagogues. Above
them all towers Mt. Pagus, crowned oS
the picturesque ruin of q. great castle
which was built before the blrth OF
Christ. and which typifies none OF the
swarrning human elements or mooerh
Snvrna, but stands as lonely monu-
ment to the city's wonderful past, LOT
Smyrna was built before history pesau,
and is one of the numerous places th'tt
have teen claimed as the birthplace vi
Homer. ,,,.
Al the various races and nationalitles
that inhabit Smyrna are neatly Sepala.-
ed into quarters. The Greek quarter is
the largest and finest, for the Greeks con-
stitute more than half of the popuiatloli'
and are the most influential citlzens
The modern Greeks are splendid business
men and in Smyrna IF ane thay nryofessjons aSo nave
d
Slightly less than quarter OF the
nonrIation is MoSlem. but the Turkish
quarter is large and has 1airiy stIaisil
and wide streets as oriental streets 20;
The wealthier Moslems have dlscaroeo
all of these national costumes except the
fez. with which they top off costume
otherwise wholly European; but tne
poorer classes still affect baggy trou-
sers and turbans, which are much cheaper
as well as more picturesque. Inc Arme-
nian n,arter is next in size and impor-
tance, and the Jewish quarter the small
est and most crowded
IJpon the streets all of these Varlofs
peoples mingle in an inconcelVaoly iiotiey
crowd, which is still further varied py
the constant presence OF Ingish'
gave Smyrna the railways which nave
made her modern commercial prosperity,
and French companies bunt the quayS,
while the Americans are there, as they
are nearly everywhere else IN 1he Worlu;
to satisfy their CURIOSITY anu sS' IL"
of their money.
Cosmopolitauism also characterlzes the
amusements of Smyrna. for during the
summer in enc week you may see frehch
PLAYS Italian operas and Greek come
dies, and, if you desire spice of the
oriental also, there are dancing DER
wishes in the Turkish quarter ana ho"i-
ing dervishes in the Armenian quarter,
Figs are one of the most important prod
curing them are kept strictly secret
Large numbers of leeches are exported
to Austria, France and Italy. Soap IS
extensively manufactured, but It's use
seems to be restricted to the upper
classes Nearly all of the industries OF
SMYRNA deal in products of which the
average American has never heard.
Chrome, antimony and liquorice root are
regular exports. Silk is about the only
staple manufactured there.

What Was Farmer Browns
Boy Doing?

Farmer Browns Boy trudSed along
toward the Green Forest ana ne
whistIed. as he tramped. That wnistie
was good to hear. Tommy TIT the
Chickadee thought so, and he stopped
hunting grubs and eggs of insects III
the Old Orchard long enough to hsteh'
Cbatterer the Red Squirrel thought So
and he stopped his mad scampcr along
the old stone wall that he might hear
.better. But Sammy Jay didn't think
so. Sammy seems to delight In thlhh-
ing lust the opposite to what other
people think. Besides, he had fuiis
made I'D his mind that Farmer Browns
Boy had been making traps, ana no"
he was sure of it, for under one arH'
he was carrying some boards ana III
one hand was q hammer. What "oulo
he be taking these over to the Green
Forest for If not to set some KIND OF
a trap for somebody? And What "ouiu
he be so merry about unless it was
tne thought that he was going to eaten
somebody?
So Sammy followed Farmer Browns
Boy and screamed at the top or ms
lungs, trying to drown the sound OF
that merry whistle and at the same
time to let everybody know what was
going on. He was excited, very much
excited was Sammy Jay.
But Farmer Browns Boy took no
notice of him. He went whistllng on
his way until he reached the Green
Forest Where the Lone Little Path
goes down the hill he stopped beside
a big chestnut tree. He put down
the things that he was carrying. Then
he fshed some nails from a pocket, and,
picking up Il board, he nailed it to the
big chestnut tree as high up as he
could reach When I,c had driven the
last nail he backed off and looked at
the board.
II guess that will do the business,
said he, and, picking up the other
boards, he started on down the Lone
Little Path toward the Green Meadows,
once more whistling.
Sammy jay stopped to look at the
board nailed to the big chestnut tree.
He cooked his head first to one side
and then to the other side, and tried
to look very wise. But he wasn't wise
at all. If that was trap it was the
uueerest looking trap that ever he had
just d board with lot of queer black
marks on it. 1t looked perfectly harm
less. But Sammy had told everybody
that Farmer Browns Boy was making
a trap, and now he wouldn't own up
even to himself that he was wrong.
Sammy is just that obstinate. So
screaming harshly, he flew after Farm
er Browns Boy. hoping to find him

Mrs. Peter and Jimmy Skunk, who hap
pened along, stared and stareu at the
board on the old fence post. No one
of them knew what to think. Finally
they gave it up and went about their
business. Only Sammy Jay hung
around. and SO it happens that he was
the only one who saw a hunter with

Little Path and stop in front of the

COLLINS DUMF0UNDED FEDS
Eddie Ended Confab by Demanding
$4,000 for Three Years.

NEW YORK. December ga Fed
eral League official stated today that
the reason that the new organiZa ton
did not persist in it's negotiations to
sign Eddie Collins, formerly of the
Athletics and now with the White Sox,
was because his demands when the
Feds first approached him with an Of

the independent league were dunn

the greatest player in the world, and

wanted to be able to go about and say,

He found Farmer Browns Boy nail
ing another board, just like the first
one, to the big hickory tree over by
the Smiling Pool. From there he went
straight over to the dear Old I3rier
Patch and nailed one to an old fence
post. Then, still whistling as if he
were very happy, he started for home.
Now, no sooner was he out of sight
than all the little people hurried to
see what he had been doing. Happy
