FIRST OUTLAW LEAGUE FAILED AT END OF
 ITS FIRST SEASON

While the baseball season just clos ed has been a remarkable one in many ways, and 9 disastrous one for many clubs, the magnates and players may thank their lucky stars that the na- t1onal pastfme is not in the denora- lized condition that it was at the end Of the first baseball war; It was just thirty years ago that the National League and the American Association closed the 1884 season. which had been marked by a bitter war with the outlaw Union Association, and pre- pared for the first worlds series be- tween major league clubs. Provf- dence had captured the pennant of the National League, and the Metro politans of New York were the Amer tcan Association victors. In the worlds series, played in New York, Providence took all three of the con tests played, by scores of so, 3-1, and 11-2. The first worlds series was played on Oct. 23, 24 and 25. 1884, and the total receipts were in the neignborhood of $1.200.
 The Providence club. pioneer worlds champions, included such famous players as Pitchers Radbourne and Sweeney; Gilligan, catcher; Joe Start, first baseman; Johnny Farrell, second baseman; Jerry Denny, third baseman; Arthur Irwin, shortstop: and Paul Hines, Paul Radford and Cliff Carroll, outhelders.

RRITONS THROUGHOUT WORLD CELEBRATE
 TRAFALGAR DAY

Tn very part of that empire on which the sun never sets Britons will celebrate today the 109th anniversary ] of the great naval battle of Trafalgar, by which England made good her proud boast of being mistress of the Iseas.'. Like Wolfe at Quebec, Lord
 Nelson the commander of the British
 fleet. gained victory at the price of This life and died in the moment of This greatest triumph.
 Trafalgar Day has been observed by
 EngIishmen ever since the first anni- Eversary of the historic battle, and the celebration this year is calculated to
 arouse to fever heat the patriotic en-
 thusiasm of the people of the tight little island and its many possessions
 Millions of men will repeat today that
 last signal of Lord Nelson:
 England expects every man to do
 his dutyi''s
 | Nelson made war on Napoleonism
 and on the side of liberty, and he gave
 his life to establish those principles
 for which Great Britain stood in the historic conflicts of a. century ago.
 when English and German troops
 fought side by side against the man
 who sought to make himself the ruler Eof all Europe. The victory at Trafal- gar proved to Napoleon that he could
 not cope with his enemy on the sea,
 although for several years to como his victorious armies remained su- preme on land.
 For a century no nation has serl- lous1y questioned England's right to the title of mistress of the seas and 1 the supremacy established by NeI- son has been maintained up to the present war without serious fighting,
 except during the second war with the United States.
 The battle off Cape Trafalgar, Spain, was between a feet of twenty seven
 British vessels. under Nelson, and eighteen French and fifteen Spanish ships of the line commanded by Ad-s 1niraI Vi1leneuve. After protracted fight Vi1lenauve and the two spanish their ships sunk. captured or destroy ed Tn the thick of the conflict Lord Nelson was struck by & musket ball.
 which entered his shoulder, infiictdng a fatal wound, and Admiral Ceiling wood succeeded to the command.
 Throughout the empire tie Union Jack will be lowered for a. moment today, in sorrow for the death of the hero. and will then be raised in tr1- umph to comnaemorate the victory which enabled Britons to sing, in so- Der truth, Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves 7
 When Nelson won his great victory the steamship was still two years in the future and his fleet would today be no more fornidabIe than so many worn and obsolete cruiser Of any of the wor1d's navies could today stand Eoc at q. safe distance and send to the bottom the whole of the opposing fleets engaged at TrafaIgar, With the French and Spanish neeta practically destroyed England poss ed great advantage in naval power over all other nations and she has since naintained 1t by building two ships for every one of her nearest rf-s val. In fact, it was not until q cen- tursy had passed after Nelson s victory that any nation disputed Great Brf- tafn's naval suprenacy. Germany attempt to equal Britain as d naval power was futile however and at the l beginning Of the present war England was still far ahead

Bancroft was the manager of this asg- gregaion. which. during the National League season, won eighty-four and lost twenty eight games, 8 percentage Eof .75O The Metropo1ftans made a percentage of TOO in the American Association.
 | The Union Association, launched in
 opposition to the national agreement had a bad year financially, but by transferring several franchises 1t only season. The Unions started the I 1884 season with clubs in BaItimores
 Boston, PhiIade1pK K1ia. Washington, Altoona, Chicago, Cincinnati and St Louis In naid-season Altoona's club ] was transferred to Kansas City, and at a later date Milwaukee and St. Paul helped to finish the season.
 St Louis won the Union Associa- ton pennant and challenged the 1ead-
 CTS in the National League and the American Association to post-sea- son series. Providence and New r York very wisely turned down the propost- tion of the outlaws, as the St. Louis
 Unions were undoubtedly the strong est club then in the field. The Mound City club finished the schedule with the percentage of .85 O. the highest in big league baseball history, except
 that of 1899, hung up. by Boston in the National Association in 1875. The baseball war of 1884 almost killed the national pastirne. The Un-
 ions had captured many of the best players of the various leagues, but the outlaws lacked sufficient capital
 to swing the proposition. They bit off more than they could chew, and in yoIved the whole sport in the ruin
 which they brought upon themselves,
 A number of minor leagues went on
 the rocks, and those that survived had
 to make many changes in their cir
 cults. Magnates and players were
 stricken by wild panic. and the fans
 everywhere boycotted, the game.
 Although the Union Association was
 not in the field in 1885. the game still
 suffered from the war of the preced-
 ing year. and in the worlds series be-
 tween the Chicago Nationals and the
 St. Louis American Association club
 the total receipts for the seven games.
 amounted to only $2,ooo. By 1887
 the sport had regained it's lost favor
 and the fans paid $42.000 to see De
 troit triumph over St. Louis in the.

Look to the food. Eat heartily of hot breads, hot biscuit, hot cakes, made light and tasty with Royal Baking Powder, and snap your fingers at dyspepsia. It is the tasty, ap- petizing food that aids digestion.
 There is quality in Royal Baking Powder coming from the purity, wholesomeness and fitness of its ingredients, which promotes di- gestion. Food raised by it will not distress. This peculiarly of Royal has been noted by hygienists and physicians. and they are accordingly earnest in its praise, especially recommending it in the preparation of food for those of delicate digestion.
