Millions Are Involved

OF the local teams, ground rent,
taxes and other items. One
hundred thousand dollars a sea-
son are spent for transportation,
another sixty-fve thousand for
hotel accommodations. The bill
for sleeping cars and meals en-
route for single team may
easily amount to thirty thou
sand dollars. Salaries to players
will approximate eight hundred
thousand dollars and the item
of umpires adds another thirty
thousand. Baseball is a big bust
ness investment and risk. The
men who take the risk and put
up the money are not going to
jeapordize lightly or recklessly
their chances of getting it back.
Crooked baseball would be a fiat
business and sporting failure.
Furthermore, there is no record
of a man retiring from the game
with a fortune, with the possible
exception of a Chicago individual.
Once let the game be smirched
by the malevolent influence of
gambling, and the whole struc-
ture would topple to the ground.
Other sports have been wrecked
by the betting evil; but the men
who now have baseball in their
care, have profted by the lessons
of others and there is little danger
that the sinister shadow of the
gambler ever will fall across the
diamond.

exhibition Of athletic skill. Add
the element of luck, or chance,
and the result is an outdoor
game about as near perfect as
human ingenuity can make it.
No harmful influence is ever
exerted in behalf of the game,
no artificial stimulant is needed
to keep it alive. There is no
place in baseball for the gambler;
no room in the ball park for his
evil presence. The game, not
withstanding loose occasional
charges, stands solely and hon.
estly on its merits.
The Squarest of All Games
IN the heat of an exciting race
for the pennant, with clock
work organizations in rivalry,
imagination sometimes runs riot
and assertions are made, under
stress of excitement, that games
are not played on the level. As
a matter of fact, to fix ball game,
that is, to arrange in advance
scheme whereby one team would
be sure to win, would be harder
than drawing water out of an
empty well.
If the game were not honest,
it stands to reason that New
York, which spends more money
on it than any two other Ameri-
can cities, would never have a
cellar team. Furthermore, a play
er might very often succumb to
temptation and throw a game to
an opponent.
As an instance: Late in the
season of 1908, the New York
Yankees and the Detroit Tigers
were playing the last inning in
the final game of series of three.
1t was vitality important game.
Detroit was making a desperate

Ira Allen accompanied his brothers to

color to the charge that he was ready
to surrender the territory OF Vermont
to the crownsthe fact remains that his
action delayed the ccnsummation OF
an agreement and saved the territory
to the United States. In the latter
years Of his life Allen met with fnan-
cial reverses and at the time of his
death he was harassed by creditors
and Lawsuits.

How old is bread? Disgruntled
age of the particular bread served to
them, but hat Is beside the question.
So long as records of civilized man
go back bread has been the staff of
life. 1t is somewhere in the history of
prehistoric man that man first learned
to grind his grain, make dough and
bake 1t or hot stones.
In the time Of neolithic man, when
one branch of humanity for defense
Grove piles in the edges Of Swiss lakes
and built huts OF their tops, bread was
made. That much at least is certain.
These stone age progressives had
learned to rear grain and probably to
cultivate it in a rude way. They pos
s;essed wheat of several varieties. bar
ley, rye and other kinds. Curtously
enough. two of these prehistoric varie-
ties are still cultivated in Switzerland,
not far from where the lake dwellers
lived.
These are the BILE mottu, still grown
in La Gruyere, and the nouette de
Lausanne. The first Of these came
from the Caucasus, but no one ven.
lures to guess as to how the lake
dwellers came to have it.
Many mills have been found suited
10 make a coarse meal of the grain,
and ever fragments Of the bread have
been kept in the clay vessels that es-
capped fracture.
1t is due to the lake dwellers' us
tom Of building their houses on piles
that we know SO much about them.
The mud beneath their huts made an
excellent trap to preserve things for
the modern scientist.
