C. Mack Tells Son to Quit
Base Ball and Study Music

RALEIGH. \. C., March I'll
Connie Mack, leader of the PhiIa-
deIpbia Athletics, wants his son
Earl, who is managing RaIeigh's
professional team and coaching
the university nine, to give up
base ball and learn to play the
violin as taught in the old world
cOnservatOries.
Both Macks are in the state.
The paternal Mack will play his
boys team this week. The story
of the parents desire to make Il
great musician out of his boy
comes from the university. The
elder base ball man believes base
ball will ruin the fingers that
will make another kubelik. Earl
Mack will study here this season,
however.

The rgument between Arthur Irwin
and Wilbur Robinson became SO heated
as to the outcome of the spring series
between the New York Americans and
the Brooklyn Nationals that they have
agreed to split the gate receipts on a
basis of 60 per cent to the winner and
10 per cent to the loser.
The New Orleans and Mobile clubs Of
the Southern League are on speaking
terms again, since Charley Frank and
Mike Finn, sworn enemies, are no longer
connected with the respective clubs. and
one evidence of it is the announcement
that New Orleans has turned Pitcher Ola
Williams over to Mobile.

camp of the Sacramento Coast League

greater part of the season. He was Sc

fall and later sent down.

Chevy Chase Club Beats K. of G. in
Contests Here-Managers
Win Out.

w hatever may have been the conditions
under which the match last night be-
tween Brockton and Washington bowling
teams took place, the fact remains that
the northern aggregation outclassed the
pinspillers from this city. 1t may have
been that the Brockton club was much
the players rolled. but something must
have aided them in order to place them
in class seemingly so far ahead of the
local five. If the facts that the alley
were sandpapered and the balls were
much smaller had that much to do with
giving Brockton its really big margin Of
superiority. then that will be proved by
the result of the contests scheduled to
take place here April 6.
Notwithstanding the fact that almost
any team is much favored ON it's home
grounds. there was hardly a bowler in
this city who thought that Washington
would be beaten SO decisively. Even with
the advantages in favor of the Brockton
men, it was generally figured that good
showing would be made. The actual re-
suits. though. prove only one member oe
the local aggregation to have made a
creditable score, Baum rolling more than
100 in each of his games. The Washing
ton aggregation did not win a single
game, being beaten i'll every one by
more than 100 pins.
The Brockton team rolled in just about
the manner it has been amassing big
scores all the year. Three of the games
found the players chalking up total of
more than go, while 591 and 595 were OBJ
tanned in the other two. Dan Smith led
the Brockton five with a set Of $50 while
Gormley and Crowell of the same quint

will receive instructions to get into

will serve notice that Americans should
remove themselves and their property

Many Americans are without suffi-

any length of time in Europe and pay
their expenses to America. There is no
fund available upon which the consuls
can draw to relieve them, but II a gem
eral need Of assistance develops, the
state department will appeal to con-

vessels to- supplement the limited num-
Der of ships in the American merchant
marine to bring home Americans but

EFFECTS OF THE WAR.

The effects on the United States OF
the expected war in Europe would be
two-fold-good and bad. 1t would re-
suit in great advance in the price of
foodstuffs over the whole world and
that would be good thing for the
farmer and bad thing for the consum-
ing classes. On the other hand 1t
would make market In Europe for
practically everything that can be
manufactured in America, unless
blockades by war fleets prevent
United States merchant ships from
getting into the waiting markets. II
no blockades are maintained however,
it should result in there being plenty
CT work for the working classes of the
United States, especially as many of
the foreigners who are now holding
jobs will return to fight under the col
ors of their native lands.
The evil effects however, the world
over, would greatly Offset any possible
good that would be done.

THE WAR SITUATION.

Just why the whole of Europe can
become involved in war between
Austria-Hungary and the tiny state OF
Servia may not be clear to the aver
age citizen but it is not hard to ex-
plain. In the first place Europe Is
divided into three groups, two of them
being alliances and the third unallied
and generally neutral countries. The
two alliances are known as the triple
alliance and the triple entente. The
first comprises Germany, Italy and
Austria-H Hungary; the triple entente is
made up Of Great Britain, Russia and
France. Each of the groups have tacit
understandings among themselves to
stand firmly together in case one Of
the members gets into war with a
member of the other group and this
understanding has heretofore prevent
ed any wars between the allied ma.
tons principally because of the magni-
tude the struggle would assume. Be-
sides the balance of power is pretty
well preserved between the two
groups.
Servia while not a member of the
triple entente, Is nevertheless favor.
ed protege of Russia and as Russia
has been spelling for trouble with
Austria for long time she can now
make war on Austria Hungary on her
own account and excuse it, by insist
ing she is merely aiding Servia. II
Russia declares war, it will mean that
members Of the rival groups are at
war and if the bonds that bind each
of the groups hold fast, the other four
members of the two alliances will have
to take sides. That will array Ger
many, Italy and ustria-Hungary
against Russia, Great Britain and
France and such others of the Balkan
states as might undertake to help
Servia. A war of this magnitude
would put nearly twenty million men
in the field and nearly two thousand
ships of war would be engaged. The
neutral nations would perforce have to
arm themselves to preserve their neu-
trality and integrity and it could be
said truthfully that the whole of
Europe Is at war.

NESS IN GOOD CONDITION IN
EASTERN MARKET.

j. B. Sax has returned from pur-
chasing trip in New York for the fall
and winter stock for the j. B. Sax Co.,
and stated that the chief garment to
undergo a change in style will be the
overcoat. English models will pre-
dominate and the we'll dressed man
winter to keep off the blasts. The pat
terms will be exceedingly novel and full
of life and color says the we'll known
merchant.
Mr.. Sax says the fear of the country
being overrun by foreign wooden goods
need be entertained no longer as the
foreign wooden men are unable to
either provide pattern or style suita-
BILE to the taste of the American pub
lie Owing to the apparent scarcity of
wool, the prices are very stiff. On &C.
count Of this scarcity the American
wooden manufacturers for the first time
invaded the London wool market and
bid up the price SO as to secure the
necessary raw material from abroad.
The clothing industry was said by
Mr.. Sax to be in fine condition. The
stocks are down to minimum and
the manufacturers and retailers both
look forwerd to an excellent season.
He said that an Iowan when away in
the east can hold up his head with
pride when he talks with the easterner
and reads In the journals OF the great
influence the bumper crops Of Iowa
have on the business situation.
Mr.. Sax left New York while the
war scare was acute and said the busi-
ness men there generally feel that the
war would result in some good ac-
cruing to the United States, although
temporary developments that cannot
be anticipated may prove embarrass-
ing for the time being.

COMMUNITY STORE FAILS.

Modern practice teaches doctors not
to administer medicine unless its need
is absolutely indicated. It would be
well IL governmental thinkers adopted
similar rule. Under the new dispen-

The flasco OF the legislative inquiry
in Chicago last year into the wages
paid to female employees of depart
ment stores in connection with the
social evil is still fresh in the public
mind. Its only effect was to cast a
reflection upon every woman working
in these establishments, and it is to
their credit that they hotly resented
the innuendo
The abandonment of another erro-
neous enterprise is now chronicled
This time it is the Chicago municipal

The cost, of operation created pro
