Your son or daughter may be in
the best Of health now, but what
about it if he or she is suddenly
taken sick? The wealthier peo-
pie Of the community who have
large expensive refrigerators can
order enough ice Saturday night
to last them over Sunday-but
how about the man who can't
afford this convenience?
The Commonwealth refrained
from a controversy with one of
the commissioners once, thinking
that probably that municipal
body would modify the blue law
SO as to work no hardships. Now,
it remains to be seen whether the
men who voted for this law have
the courage and backbone to re-
peal it insofar as applies to the
necessities of life, or continue to
sport about Sunday and during
the week in utter Indifference of
the hardships that it is working.
If the majority Of the town
commissioners who occasioned
the passage of this measure have
not the manhood to admit their
mistake and amend the law. then
it is up to the suffrage Of Scot
land Neck to hustle these fanatics
out of office and install men in
their place who WILL legislate
for the good Of the community,
and not first in favor of the
high -brows."

Hot Springs Arranges 36-Day Race Meet

died abOrnin' to reestablish racing at
Hot Springs last spring, has gained
such renewed impetus that 36 day
meeting to start some time in Marcn
is now almost an assured fact.
The latest move to bring back the
thOroughbfeds to the valley of va
pOrs" dates back to the beginning of
this year when the Business Mems
league of Hot Springs took up the mat
ter Of a meeting at OaNlawn with
Louis Celia, part owner of the racing
plant lIr. Celia at that time offered
the Hot Springs people the entire plant
free of charge for a, period of two years
and further guaranteed the Citizens
Jockey club, under which name the
venture was to be promoted, cOmpe-
tent talent to conduct the meeting I'M
the persons of John Hackmeister and
Edward McGinn, the only stipulation
being that the business men RAISE
$4,000 and place it in the bank for the
purpose of guaranteeing all expenses
in connection with the proposed meet
ing of 81 days
After a strenuous effort ii was found
impossible to raise this amount at that
time without subOrdinadng the pro-
posed meeting to the gambling element
and a second proposition for meeting
of 20 days with guarantee of S12,5OO
was then made to Mr.. Celia, who ac-
cepted the proposition for himself. but
was Overruled by his, at that time,
equal partner in Oaklawn, John Con-
don, and the attempt came to naught-
Before the matter last spring was
entirely disposed Of but still too late
to make it a factor, Mr.. Celia acquired
the holdings in Oaklawn of the late
Dan Stuart, with the result that when
the matter was again taken up with
the St. Louis magnate a short time ago
he found himself in position, as
twO-thirds stakeholder, to make terms
with the Citizens Jockey club on his
own responsibility.

- TEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-A fluke
IN single made by Charles Mullen,
i first baseman of the Yankees,
in the last game of the 1914 season,
cost Frank Farrell, owner of the
Yankees, exactly $1,000 and earned $500
for Mullen.
Mullen was purchased by the Yankees
from the Lincoln, Neb, team in the
Western league early in the summer.
Mullen ranked as one of the best first
sackers in the minors When Farrell
got him there arose difference IN
the price that Farrell was willing to
pay and the amount that owner Jones,
of the Lincoln club, wanted.
well. here's a compromise offer,
said Farrell to Jones If Mullen fin
ishes the season with my club and has
a batting average of .26O or better I'll
give you that extra $1,000. Otherwise
1 won't"
Jones accepted the offer, and when
the official averages were given out
the other day it was seen that Mullen
had batted exactly $50. He made 81
hits in 323 trips to the plate
Mullen made the hit that shot his
average up to $50 in the last game of
the year, when the Yankees played the
Athletics 1t was puny grounder that
Mullen beat to the bag because the
Athletics, taking things easy, did not
overly exert themselves going after
it. without that hit Mullen's average
would have ben only PSI.
When Mullen was about to leave Lin
coin, Jones told him about that $1,000
that Farrell was to give if Mullen hit
$50, or better.
"If you deliver Charlie, and the
$1,000 comes to me, I'll give you half"
said Jones. And Jones will keep his
promise.
Reports that Jimmy Collins. the
greatest third baseman that ever played
the game, is dying in Buffalo, recalls
the greatest chapter in American
league history.
Back in 1903 Collins led his Red SoX
into the world series battles with the
Pirates. The Pirates took the first

M will make a master stroke II they
\ place team in New York for
the 1915 season. Right now seems to
be the proper time for the transfer OF
the Kansas City franchise to the big
town.
Some folks will argue that the great
er city will not support five big league
teams-the Brooklyn Dodgers, Brook
Ivn Feds. New York Yankees, New York
Giants and a New York Federal team
but that is a matter that never can
be decided until the experiment IS
made. And the time seems ripe for
the Feds to make the experiment.
The Yankees in 1915 will be n mighty
uncertain proposition. The Yanks need
something they haven't got just now
first class players. There IS ltlie
likelihood Of any Of the other cluos
in the big leagues donating rev
players to the Hanks, because most
Of the other clubs are bit shy Oh
stars owing to the Federal raldlnBs.
The Giants may draw as well next
season as in other seasons, but IL IS
doubtful It is believed that the reign
OF McGraW in the baseball world IS
near an end The Giants failed to graz
the Remnant last season and that lost
Them some of their old drawing power.
Furthermore, the Giants don't look
overly powerful for the 1915 battle and
it is likely they will not figure so very
largely in the pennant battle
Fans Tired Of Old Gang.
The home town fans have soured
