Meaning of Indian Summer

will you please explain the meaning
aBG origin of the words Indian summer
II. s."
Some say that the Indians of North
America, having harvested their corn, be-
gan the hunting season in the balmy, hazy
days that were known as early as Shake
spearo's time as "St. Martins summer"
Bryant alludes to Indian summer in
THE Death Of the Flowers:
when come the calm, still days,
As still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home.
When the sound of dropping nuts IS
heard,
Though all the wood IS still,
Arc twinkles through the smoky light
The waters of the ril."
The "smoky light is the smoke end
dust that are not lifted from the earths
surface by winds. 'All the wood Is stili.'
ont lexicon says: 1.-The phenomena of In
dian summer are more distinctly marked
in the regions chiefly occupied by the
Indian I'm the earlier periods of colonial
history than in the eastern portions set
tied by the whites. Hence the term, In

FUTURE OF LEAGUE
0. K. SAYS BARROW
Promises Convincing Proof
After Annual Meeting to
Be Held Monday.
PROPOSE CIRCUIT CHANGES

Don't count US out" says Edward
G. Barrow, president Of the Interna-
tional League, in discussing the an
nual meeting of the league to be
held in New York Monday. The af-
fairs of the International were in
such a state during the past season
that the future of the league, in the
minds of many, was very much in
doubt. President Barrow, however,
asserts that the league win be as
strong as ever and that conclusive
proof to that effect will be had on
Monday night after the meeting.
Several changes are proposed In the
circuit in two towns. Baltimore and
Jersey City are almost certain to lose
their franchises. Richmond, Brook
lyn and Syracuse are the towns spok-
en- of.
Il is just possible that President
Charles H. Ebbets, sr., of the Brook
lyn Club, may attempt to put through
the deal which failed last year;
namely. the transfer of the local club
to Brooklyn and the bringing of the
Skeeters to Newark. President Thorn
as Fogarty, of the Jersey City Club,
does not want to quit baseball,
but the financial straits of the
Skeeters are such that he may be
compelled to listen to most any deal
brought up. 1t Is rumored that there
has been a split between Fogarty and
his uncle. Bill Devery, out of whose
pocket the biggest amount of the coin
lost by the -Skeeters came
A move that might appeal to local
fans has been mentioned by some In
ternational League scribes. That
would be to have Ebbets take his
local possessions and move them TO
Brooklyn and to allow Jack Dunn to
come here. Dunn was not popular
here at times In the past, but none
can deny his knowledge of baseball
and his ability to develop and manage
a team. Dunn, in addition, has al
ways been partial to home talent. No
minor league manager has developed
so much home-bred talent.
There is much talent on local lots
but in the past the Newark club has
gone elsewhere and Jared far worse.
The spring training trip of 1914 was q
most costly and extravagant case OF
the Ebbets system of picking young
sters on the recommendations Of their
friends. OF the bunch taken South,
Paynter. Erhard. Thompson, Smith.
Dion and O'Rourke, very little II any
benefits were derived financially or
otherwise. The money spent on them
was a total loss.
Local boys, it is said, are slow in
accepting offers to start out on the
professional circuits. They do not like
the idea of working for small salaries
in the bushes. In other towns it is
quite different. In Philadelphia, Il Is
said, very few of the clever ballplay-
ers command even fair salaries, and
they are glad to sign contracts for SIS
a month.
Since it became certain that the
Federal League would fight organ
lied baseball for another year the
troubles of the International League
magnates have increased instead of
decreased. The Feds will put a
stronger team in Buffalo, it is said
and even though much money be
spent in strengthening the Bisons by
those who now control the club, it is
doubtful If the Herd will bring In
much money.

.MARQUARD SIGNED
| TO TWO CONTRACTS
New York Club Claims He Can
not Possibly Join Brooklyn
FederaIs.

That the Brooklyn Feds went a
little bit too far in signing Rube Mar
guard is the boast of organized base
ball today. The officials Of the New
York National League club say that
they have not one but two binding
contracts with the big southpaw-one
of them is the regular baseball docu-
ment, stamped with the leagues Off
cial mark, and the other is a personal
document. Both cover three-year
terms, and will not expire until the
end of the 1916 season In addition,
the personal contract calls for first
option on Rube's services for 1917.
President Harry Hampstead. of the
Giants, declares that the Wards are
amenable to the law, If 1t can be
proved they tampered with a man
under contract. The Wards, who own
the Brooklyn Federal League club, TO
which Marquard is reported TO have
jumped, assert that Rube came to
them and declared he was free to
sign.
In the case of Walter Johnson, the
contract was nowhere nearly as bind
ing, for Walter had not signed for
neyt season. He had, however, given
the Washington club an option on his
services. Eddie Plank, OF the three
star pitchers, is the only one Of whom
the Feds might be sure without dan
ger of the organized magnates taking
legal recourse. A test case will be
made of the Marquard matter.
