ON THE DIAMOND

San Francisco, March 12.-War is
! brewing between the California league
with organized baseball at it's back
and the Trolley league, an independ
ent organization. A preliminary shell
has been hurled by President A. T.
Baum in warning the Trolley leaguers
to keep hands off of players in the
class D circuit. The trouble is aris-
ing through the ambitions of the Troll
ley league managers in going after
California league and other players
under reserve to clubs in organized
baseball. President Baum's attention
was attracted to several class D hold
out who claim they have been offered
more money to play in the Trolley
league Carl Zamlock, under re-

Vancouver have also signed. Last sea-
son the independent organization fol-
lowed system of signing only free
agents, and it was allowed to exist
without interference from organized
baseball. Now, however, there is a
conflict and in few days war may
break out in full force. The Trolley
league is composed of Oroville, Chico,
Woodland, Colusa, Marysville and a
travelling team from Sacramento. Only
Sundays and holiday games are played
but they drew so we'll in 1913 that
fairly big salaries are paid.

Cotton, a "smaIl Farmers Crop"

1t is common to associate the term

wealth, and prominence. The truth Is
that the bulk of the cotton crop is rais-
ed by men who rent or own compare

proximately one third Of the American
crop is raised, most OF the farmers cul-
tivate less than twenty acres OF land.
More than 80 per cent of these farmers
are whites In Mississippi there are
11O.440 farms owned or operated by ne
groes. In the Carolinas the vast NO.

Philadelphia, Pa.-If the Japanese
