Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, May Cit wouldn't bt
surprising if the Federal League be-
came the ruling power in baseball be-
fore another year rolls around.
The minor leagues just now are
threatening to break loose from the
American and National Leagues anc
form an alliance with the Federals
If they do it means the taking away
from those two major league organi.
zations the very soil that has nourish'
I'd them.
There's hardly a minor league mag,
nate who isn't cussing two moguls
Of the major leagues and the National
Commission. The Feds have about
wrecked a dozen teams in the Glass
IA minors, but it isn't the Feds that
the small magnates are swearing at
mostly. It's their supposed friends ir
the big league who failed them
and failed miserably-in the great
est crisis in baseball history.
The National agreement in which
the big and little leagues are start
provides that the big fellow shall
take care of the little ones in times
of trouble. When the Feds began
raiding the little fellows, they yelled
to the big fellows for help. And the
big fellows answered something about
'troubles OF our own" jammed cotton
in their sound receivers and kept it
there.
Under ordinary conditions the maj
or leagues would slip an oar to the
little fellows. But this isn't an ordi-
nary period, but one in which the
majors feel that they need about all
the available oars to keep themselves
afoat. And they've left the little fell
lows to sink.
The statement may seem odd that
the minors may hook up with the very
same crowd that put them on the
fritz, but it seems the best move they
,an make. They can't get help from
the majors and they can't stand alone
against the Feds. So the only thing
hat remains is for them to make
peace with the enemy at whatever
terms they can get. And, unless we
Miss our guess by a mile, the Feds
Will make them good terms and take
them to their bosoms in a loving,
fashion.

GERMANS BELIEVE
OSTEND IS CALAIS
Leaders Rename the City
"Kales" to Deceive Men,
Says Eyewitness"

London, Dec. 5.-The official "eye-
witness" with the British army head
quarters on the Continent, in nara
tive dated December 2, says that the
destruction of the Belgian town OF
Ypres by the Germans suggests that 1t
was "really the outcome of disappoint-
ment and evaporation at its resist
ance. and at the failure of the much
advertised plans for its capture"
The writer points out that up TO the
end of October the Germans had con-
tented themselves with bombardlng
points where the British headquarters
was believed to be situated, and other
places, such as the railway station,
where destruction would be Of military
value.
The Smelling of the town only began
in earnest on the night of November 5,
since which time it was maintained in,
termittently. That the town escaped
SO long apparently was due to the fact
that up TO November 5 the Germans
had counted on capturing IL. Later
1 the attacks were simply in the nature
OF forlorn hopes, the narrator says,
which called for all the assistance that
/ could be obtained by artillery co-opera-
/ ton, even at the risk of the destruc-
I ton of a historic place which might
/ become German.
The last attack in force was deliv-
cred on November II. Four days later
the Germans commenced to pour a
stream Of shells into the central mar
ket-place, and where the Cloth Hall and
the Cathedral both had escaped mate
rial damage up to then these two his
toric buildings were blazing before the
day closed. In order to do this, it is
stated. the Germans brought up a train
armed with heavy guns. After the
Cloth Hall and the Cathedral were de
stroyed. the eyewitness says. the fire
of the Germans no longer was directed
OF them.
The writer states on good authority
that the Germans renamed 0stend
"Kales," which he says was done with
the object Of deceiving German soldiers
into the belief that Calais and Paris
were in German hands.
A few minor local successes are re-
corded by the eyewitness, both the
French and British forces, he says, hav-
ing advanced slightly and taken some
German trenches

Beethoven" burst from the lips Of the pair. oh,
play on, play on-ust little more! they pleaded as
he arose to 60.
For moment he stood, silent looking out the
window And then again seating himself, ne began,
as If to voice the spirit of the cam perfect night,
weaving slowly into exquisite being those mystic
measures which caress the soul, even as the cool
radiance of the moon softens and gentles the worlds
rough face There, in that little room, Beethoven
nerwined the throbbng of the seas great heart and
the far clear call Of stars he sounded the very depths
of the sublime till it seemed to the three listeners as
if the Spirit of Infnity were come down the path OF
moonlight and stood by their side, whispering OF the
things that are forever and forever.
Vain warnings and thoughts of toll and tlthes
were swept from their longtime moorings in the mind,
and by the hand of infinite oveiness, the blind girl
was guided to heights whence she more than wide
eyes can window, however clear. On the slow current
of the adago-she was borne to the vernal field Of the
aegretto where fairies danced beside the stream and
then in the trembling hurrying presto, she saw the
elk-fok scurry off, leaving all things better and more
beautiful because of their having been.
Beethoven, the master, had in that hour in that
Door, troubleshadowed home, lighted transforming
flame which would neither waver nor go out through
all the years.
Farewell, he said, going to the door.
''You will come agan?' they cried.
