intend to make Antwerp their own,
using II as a naval base from which
an attempt will be made to subdue
England, is the statement Of viscount

Antwerp to fortify It, to Keep 1t to
make a great naval port of. to use as a
jumping off place for her future at
tempts upon this country" he said

Senator Burton's Victory.

Senator Burton of Ohio with the
help of other able senators has sue
ceeded in defeating the great pork
barrel" bill called Rivers and Har..
bors. II has been the way of the
grating politician to secure an ap-
preparation from the Government
for the improvement of rivers and
harbors that are of small value simp-
ly in order to have the money spent
in their various districts. Senator
Burton has long been a fighter
against this robbing, and this year
scores a notable success. Instead of
spending upward of a hundred mil
lion dollars the Government will
spend only twenty million, and this
in places where the country as a
whole will receive real benefit.

chance for a second league now IS one
Of the leaders in the third-the Federal
league. ,,,n
ion that the Federal league, no matter
how strong it grows, never can make q
successful entry in New. YORK. ..
81 'Tmpossible--absolutely impossroie,
tbs said. -.
And that's Just what was said back
made efforts to break into New York,
Oddly enough, in 1901, Just when the
Americans were waging war IKE Jhe
Federals are doing these days, the IVA"
tional league was at swords points
with the PLAYERS Protective association,
an organization Of ball players headed
by Charles L. thinner. the old CleVe'
land catcher, who acted as president
Case Again Parallel.
Up to the time the American league
declared war the National league prac-
tically refused to recognize the associa'
tion. There seemed no chance of the
association s demands being granted.
But when the Americans loomed along
the baseball horizon, and began max
ing overtures TO the players, the Ma.
tional league quickly discovered that
some of the players demands were
IuctlIltu <huu thSJ N--S o.
portion of them.
Which is just what the naughty Ma.
tional commission did the other day
relative to the demands of the players
fraternity, after ignoring and sneering
at them at first, But it granted the
demands only after the Federal league
came booming along.
In many respects the baseball history
Of 1901 has been repeated in 1914:
Whether the Federals will duplicate
tho feat of the American league, beat
the organized enemy and become base
ball power is a question that time can
answer But that doesu u bar one from
hazarding few guesses. One OF ours
is that the Federal league, jeers. speers
and ridicule notwithstanding, will give
the organized baseball crowd one Of the
merriest little battles that has been
staged since Napoleon tackled fellow
named Wellington at Waterloo, few
years back.

INVASION
RECALLS 1901 WAR
CONTINUED from Preceding Page.)

elared war in 1901 it realized, as does
the Federal league today, that to sue
ceed it not only must develop its own
stars, but also get some OF the hig
drawing cards Of the rival organization.
And, Just as the Federals are doing
today. the Americans sent agents hither
and thther in attempts to lure players
TO their ranks.
Success didn I Immediately crown
their efforts. The players were rs
skeptical Of the American league in 1901
as they arc of the Federal league to-
dav.
The players. of course, were perfectly
willing to jump if they were sure they
would get their salaries regularly. The
American league, setting an example
for the Federal league, guaranteed the
salaries OF the first ones TO jump, and
signed the players up on three, four
and five year contracts.
The lcaping act OF the first few play
ers who left the National for the Amer,
lean didn't influence other National
league players to jump-right away.
After Nops jumped one or two others
followed his example. Then there was
lull in the leap frog business. This
caused the National league to assert
that the American league had about
''shot its bolt.
Sounds like something we We heard
quite recently, doesu t it!
