that he had never lost a dollar. in
a lumber deal or entered any other
kind of a deal without losing. In
later years he owned much bank stock
however.
He gave endowments to McAles-

By nature he was taciturn and re

said:

but only one mouth, and that is to

In 1857, while still poor man, he
married Miss Sarah Elizabeth Bloc

Sporting Letter
By FRANK G.. MENKE.

New York, April 6.-What a fe-
rocious, cannibalistic crowd of per-
sons those Federal Leaguers are--if
you care to take the word of organ
lied Baseball and its staunchest sub
sidized friends for it.
Prexy Jimmy Gilmore and all his
lieutenants ought to be thrown into
Jail, starved into a pitiful condition
and then chopped into little bits Of
pieces, according to the views of
some of those mentioned above.
It's rather laughable--and disgust
ing-the methods used by some per-
sons to heckle the Federals and
make them seem ridiculous in the
minds of the baseball public. The
Federals, taking it from the D. B.
people, are composed of Joke bal
layers, joke magnates ana joke
rank rolls.
The latest method of attacking the
Federals is to rise up and shrek
"Ssame!" "Shame!" at the Feds be-
cause they are threatening to do
just exactly what the Organized
Baseball people have done-sign up
N en- who are under contract.

70 PROTECT EMPLOYEES
OF STATE GOVERNMENT

Sacramento, April 4.--The board
Of control, the industrial accident com
mission and the state controller have
been in serious consultation over the
matter Of providing for the compen
sation in case Of injury or death for
the employees Of state, for whom no
provision was made when the work
mans compensation act was passed.
AS a result of their conferences all
previous plans for the administration
of the law were suspended and seven
rules were adopted.
After the adoption of these seven
rules the delegates at the conference
agree that the payment of damages
depends solely upon legislative action:
Further than to authorize the pay
ment of wages and take care of the
medical attention necessary, the acci-
dent and control boards admit they
cannot go. q
The two boards will operate on the
theory that the claims approved by
the industrial accident commission and
control boards will be recognized as
valid by the legislature and applica-
tions made accordingly.
The rules provide for the payment
of hospital and medical bills for the
first two weeks and the payment of 65
per cent of the wages during the per-
iod of partial or total disability, and
in case of death payments will be
made according to the computation
of the industrial accident commission.

B. people-and those who print each
bombastic utterance they make-to
cease trying to "kid' the public into
believing that there's no such thing
as the Federal League. For some
months they've been assuring all
those that would linger long enough
to listen that the Federals were a
joke, that they wouldn't open the sea-
son, that they would never get train
ing camps, never get grounds, and
that before April IA the baseball pub
lie would forget that there ever was
such an organization as the Fed

Gilmore. eve are after only those
men who are held by the reserve
clause,-a clause that we do not con.
slider legal"
And Gilmore and his crowd stuck
to that decision. They played fair.
Even the persons most antagonist;c
TO the Federal cause cannot deny that
IN moments when they want to stick
10 straight facts.
But, in retaliation for these fair
methods, Organized Baseball started
to use unfair tactics. The Phillies
lured Killifer back into their fold
after he had signed up a Federal
contract. They disregarded the con-
tract that is legal and binding. The
Cleveland Maps made overtures to
Pitcher Blanding after he had signed
a Federal contract and had accepted
Federal advance money.
1t was then-and only then-thaJ
the Feds announced that they would
not play as fair as they had in the
past-and that they would begin to
make offers to men who were under
contract.
And now those persons who are
closely allied to the Organized Base
ball People are rushing into print
with remarks such as these:
'The fact that the Feds are try
ing to sign up organized players who
are under contract will be a black
eye for them. These methods are
absolutely unfair and will not be toll
Grated by the baseball public. The
public demands fair play. The public
insists that the Feds play fair, as
the Organized Baseball people have
done. The action of Federal agents
in attempting to get players to jump
their contracts with Organized Base
bal lis something the public will not
stand for. 1t is an outrage"
The baseball public, as we know
it, is quite too fair, too honest and
too intelligent to pay much attention
to these shrieks of Outrage" The
baseball public dos ;snt' need a micro
scope to see through things and i
doesn't even need its specs to see
that Organized Baseball, with its
back against the wall, is attempting
in every way to pull the wool over
the eyes of the public, in the hope
that the public will believe their gar
bled statements and thus stay away
from the Federal parks.
America is a land of fair-minded
citizens. It's a land where the peo-
pie like game, fair fighter. And.
as we view. it, the public seems to
think that the Federals have madt
a pretty good fight in the past few
months against tremendous odds.
It's quite true that the Federal
lineups aren't cluttered up with a
bunch of stars of the first water

looking teams-teams that look
