ing menace to their interests thar the
Federal league means.
Feds VIII Open in 1913.
Those who think the Feds will not
open the 1915 season are wrong. The
Feds will open in 1915, just as they
opened in 1914. and the Feds, without
doubt, will draw far better in 1915
than they did in 1914.
When they opened in 1914 they were
a novelty at first. They drew well
at their openings. Then the novelty
wore off and patronage dropped off.
The war and general business depres-
sion came along and made conditions
worse. The Feds during the latter
part Of the season did not draw even
half as well as they would have
drawn in normal business times But
even at that they didn't lose sucn
huge punches OF money as organized
baseball is trying to bunk the public
into believing that they lost
Business Conditions Better.
In 1915 the Federal league opens
as an established organization. 1t Will
open with business conditions far bet
ter than they were last year. 1t VIII
open with some greater stars in its
ranks than ever before 1t will open
with Benny Kauff and a lot of other
youngsters, developed in the league
last year, to act as drawing cards.
The Feds encountered a lot Of dis
enlargement in their first year. Ihey
had tough shedding right from the
outset. But they never whimpered-
they never backed water. They gave
the fans the best they had at all times
and promised the fans that in 1915
they would give them something bet
ter. They promised they would get
every star for 1915 that money
offer could tempt, and they have gone
the limit to make good i'll their prom
Use.
League is In Game.
The Federal league is the under dog
in the baseball world just now, but
it's a pretty scrappy animal at that
It's game-and it can fight even
though the odds are against it. And
because it is the under dog, and be
cause it is a fighter, and because 1t is
game, it will win a greater crowd OF
fans in 1915 than ever before and the
chances are that even il it doesn't
make money in 1915 it won't lose.
The Federal league is in our midst
to stay. 1t has too much money at
stake and too bright a future to cause
it to quit now. And the sooner those
organized magnates realize that fact
the better it will be for them.

El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-12-15


M curious little incident came up
4 at a dinner given in Harlem
by John j. NcGraw, manager Of the
Giants. and Capt. T. S. Huston, who
has been mentioned as one Of the pros
pective owners Of the Yankees.
George StallingS, manager OF the
Boston. Braves, was called on by the
toastmaster, and after few perfume
tory felicitations, the swarthy chief OF
the worlds champions suddenly
plunged into a matter that had eVl-
IDENTIFY been Weighing heavily upon MS
mind.
1T is gradually dawning upon me
that my little club is over the heads
of even the people Of the baseball
world" said Stalliings It is graou-
ally daWning upon me tnaL wherever
] run across a bunch Of baseball men
with their heads together, there Is
muttering of accident lucky ana
won't repeat 1 am discovering that
it is the belief in basebaH-among
baseball people-that we cannot come
back in 1915"
He spoke in a puzzled manner, as
II his discovery had bewildered him.
SkeptiCism from outsiders he could IN
derstand-and disregard-but this dis
belief in his own sphere-among his
own people, so to speak-manitestly
troubled him.
How many Of you gentlemen right
here believe that the Braves will fig
ure in the fight next season, much
less win the pennant?" he demanded.
Then there was a long pause, as the
eyes of the big southerner searched
the lines OF the banqueters.
One Man With George.
He was facing an audience COM
posed exclusively OF baseball people
managers, players and writers-and. at
least one major league magnate. They
included some of the shrewdest men
i'm the game-AIcGraw, Hughey Jen-
nings, Wilbert Robinson, Christy
Mathewson, Garry Hermann, Arthur
Irwin, Joe Kelly, Sammy Lichtenheim'
Charley Doom and a score Of others
Most OF them were Stallings's personal
friends and well wishers.
A Few half-jesting answers to the
StalIinEs query were heard, and final
ly some one pORed an asserting hand
up through the cigar smoke
Thank you, Jimmy" said Stanings
to some one whose face was hidden
in the haze. That's one-and only
one. So there you are gentlemen. You
all know, and maybe you have known

dinner, but McGraw and captain Hus-
ton would not listen to a refusal, and
so the griZzled chief of what was prob
ably the greatest baseball club that
ever took the field sat surrounded by
men accounted his baseball enemies,
who are none the less his personal
friends
Garry Hermann, president of the
1 Cincinnati Reds, and chairman Of the
National commission, touched on the
baseball war to some extent in his
address, he declared that baseball is
in a chaotic condition and that eventu-
ally the real sufferers must be the
ball players because the time would
come when the moneyed men now con-
nected with the game would be forced
to quit.
Then Hermann paid a great compli-
ment to Hanlon, who was once man
ager of the Reds, and later Tim Muir
name, the white named veteran from
New England, eulogized Hanlon as one
Of the greatest leaders of all time.
Hanlon was visibly touched as he
rose to respond, and he expressed the
hope that the clouds against the base
ball Sky will clear away in the near
future, and that they would all dwell
in peace together.
MathewsOn the Greatest.
Irwin S. Cobb, who is ex-officio q
member of the baseball fraternity;
Hughey Jennings, Christy MatheWson,
Arthur Irwin, Sam Crane, and several
others made addresses during the even
ing.
In the course Of his address, Tim
Murnane paid a remarkable tribute to
Mathewson. He pronounced him the
greatest pitcher Of all time.
q have seen them ALL" said Muir
name. "Radbourne, Rusie, and all the
stars of another era; Johnson, Bender,
and all the modern day men, and Math-
ewson, for 10 years Of his career, was
unquestionably a better pitcher than
any of the others when they were in
their prime. He is the greatest of all
time"

GOLFING HINTS.
q HsTRAIGHT DRINE.n

ASSES.-PIayers wearing
eyeglasses at golf are at a great
disadvantage in rainy or foggy
weather, or when the air is so SHARP
as to make the tears flow. The
glasses become logged and the
ability to gage distances is lost.
Some folks have tried wearing
hats with long brims or beaks in
front, to keep the glasses under a
roof as 1t were, with some degree
Of success, but they are, neverthe-
less, at a great disadvantage.
Some opticians carry in stock a
preparation which, if rubbed on the
glasses, will materially assist in
preventing water or fog adhering to
their surfaces. I am told that in
most cases it works very satisfac-
tOrily.

THREE BILLION FOREIGN
 TRADE UNDER NEW TARIFF
Figure Was Largest on Record With
 One Exception.
Washington- Julv 31.

Washington, July ST.
 The first nine months operations of the new tariff showed a foreign com merce of $40, being, with one exception, the largest total ever shown for a like period. and falling only 2.17 per cent. below the high record made in the October-June period of 1912-13.
 Imports, according to the official figures of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, in the nine months ended with June last amounted to $1,446, 127,49 against $1364, 765, ,233 in the corresponding period one year ago and $1.2S4 ,993,7 in the like period two years ago.
 The high-record imports noted above resulted chiefly from a marked in crease in foodstuffs, amounting to 73 million dollars in the first nine months of the new tariff period, and small in creases in manufactures and raw ma lures imported fell off about 14 per cent.
 Exports during the nine months un- der review totaled S1,797, ,439, ,34s, with one exception the largest October June total ever shown. being 7.S per cent below the high record made in the nine monthe ended June 30, 1913, and 3.5 per cent. above the best rec ord made in the corresponding period of any earlier year. The falling off in exports which had been somewhat pronounced in the period from Novem- Der to May last. seems to have about culminated. since the figures for June were only s6.285.465 below June of last
