For several years Alanson Skinner
of the American Museum of Natural
History has been conducting expedi-
lions among the Indians of the north
west, having visited the tribes of the
Cree, the Ojibway and the Menominee.
He is now organizing another expedi-
ton and will set out soon to continue
his work of exploration and research
among tribes Of the northwest in the
interests of the museum.
A report of his work in the field last
summer. including descriptions of the
various ceremonlals. dances and GUS

museum. Much of the data was OBJ
tanned from Indians, among whom
were Charlie Assiniboine. Chief Wal

The collector OF Indian data and tro-

ceremony of the medicine lodge. which
is practiced by the Menominees and

dances and ceremonies described by
Mr.. Skinner include the windigokan
or cannibal dance. the big dogs dance,
the prairie chicken. the sacred pipe

agreed to perform this dance. al

Some little time ago the state

forbidding the carrying of red

this ruling by Chief Justice
Rugg:
III the flag is Of the forbidden
color (red) in Its essential and
dominating characteristics then
the mere circumstance that 1t

vice of another color is not
enough to prevent its being a
red flag"
The socialists of Massachusetts,
quickly seized upon this decision.

George Stallings did not retain a sin
gle one of the players turned over to
him when he took charge of the Braves
in the spring of 1913. He built up an
entirely new team, to which he I'M
doubtedly owes his success. This al
lowed him to exercise his own ideas
of the kind of ball players he wanted.
While Collins and Evers were recog-
niZed as having been the most valua-
BILE members of their respective teams,
there is no doubt that the fact that
both were on pennant-winning teams
had much to do with their selection.
Had the Nationals won the pennant
Eddie Foster would have been the
unanimous choice Of the Chalmers tro-
ply commission. Foster was individu-
ally more responsible for the teams
final position in the race than any
other player in Griffith's lineup. He
carried the team along all summer by
reason of his brilliant fielding and hit
ting. Time and again he set the stage
for his team. but the batters who fol-
lowed him seldom came through. It
would be interesting to know the num-
Der of times that Foster sent Moeller to
third, in the early innings of a game,
with a base hit. There were innumer-
able occasions when he was responsible
for third and first being occupied, with
none out. yet only occasionally did a
run result from this most promising
start.

Organized base ball has agreed not
to countenance exorbitant salaries
which would mean bankruptcy. 1t
would not be at all surprising if play
ers Of renown are allowed to go to the
Federals If the outlaws are willing
to pay fabulous salaries. There would
be no surer way of discouraging the
Independent enterprise than saddling 1t
with such heavy financial burdens.
1t is understood that the major
league club owners have determined
not to go far beyond the safety zone
even to retain those few idols who
are free from all obligations save the
reserve clause.
According to President Gilmore of
the Feds, who Is just as prolific with
words as was Charley Murphy when
he was in base ball. the Federal
League is putting aside a 100000
emergency fund. to be used in pro-
curing players and fighting organized

of boasts these days, and it stands to
reason that these are for a purpose,
but no one is taking him seriously.
