NO ROOM FOR BASEBALL
ON AUSTRALIAN FIELDS
By TED SULLIVAN.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. s.
The baseball touring party steamed into
the harOor Of Brisbane as the new year
vas dawuing. They played at Brisbane
and Sydney and then came here.
The voyage from Thursday Island to
3 'isbane was pleasant and picturesque.
Island after island met our view on the
placid waters Of the ocean, like noun
talins on the edge Of a valley in the
United States.
The jokers Of the party were at work,
telling some of the supposedly unsophis-
ticated ones that some of the Islands
were inhabited by cannibals. But the
victims put up job on the jOkers them
selves by rapping on their stateToom
doors Wen after midnight and telling
them. after they'd got the sleep out OF
their eyes. that the boat had been board
I'd b. canninals and that they were
needed for rescue work.

cricket than he will stop eating roast
beef and plum pudding.
Australians at present are carried
away with horse racing and football.
Now, with cricket the game of the
classes, and football and horse racing
the sport OF the masses. there is very
little show OF baseball wedging in be-
tween any Of those games TO live as
a profession.
The game between the New York
Giants and Chicago White Sox drew
fairly well in Sydney, but many went
out TO see the game more as a curl
osity than anything else. Sydney is a
city of $4,000 people and Melbourne
about 100000.
The games in Sydney and Melbourne
were not advertised as they should have
been, but nevertheless the people OF
Brisbane. Sydney and Melbourne knew
of our coming months in advance
l passed from one part of the grounds
to another IN both the latter cities to
hear what ihe comments were on base
ball.
Ninety out of every hundred people
claimed that baseball is only an i'm
proved game Of their old English round
ers. The fielding of our teams bewiId-
cred them, but all In all our game was
nothing but glorified FOUNDERS. as they
called it. While they may not take TO
our game, the people of Australia have
taken to American people in a manner
never known before. and my observa-
tion permits me to say that they are
nearer TO the American people in quail
ties of heart and mind than any other
British race outside of the United
States. The Australians are OF the same
British stock as the Canadians. and it
shows that man at best is q creature Of
climate.

The ChafIin Failure.

Wall Street Journal 1t is easy and
cheap to ascribe the largest failure Of
it's kind in the cOuntry's commercial
history of the administration. This is
not altogether fair, although 1t must
be admitted that the disturbance of
public confidence, of individual con-
Stunning power and credit, and Of es-
tablished methods of commerce tested
by the expert practice of years, has an
undeniable responsibility in the mat
ter.
But the Cla1in firm failed because 1T
was based on a combination of whole
sale and retail business which impos-
ed upon 1t a financial burden heavier
than it could carry. The II. B. Claf1in
firm, before embarking in the retail
business, was perhaps the largest
wholesale house in the world. Its
customers were independent and well
distributed. But when it embarked in
the retail trade it stood to reason that
it's independent customers would re-
SEM that enterprise, and would take
their business elsewhere.
There followed a result which was
unfortunately only obvious after the
event. The company had to make its
| own customers and finance them. II
ceased to be a wholesale house in q
broad and safe and became
merely the financial hacker of a large
number of retail stores all over the
