ANOTHER EXCUSE GRABBED!


The beef trust sure takes advant-

telling people that they've got to ex-
pect another jump tothe high cost of
living on account of the war in Eu-
rope. Listen to Ed Cudahy, president
of the Cudahy Packing Company, ex-
plain it:
up to the present time there has
been no unusual export demand"
said Cudahy. '"The present supply of
cattle is adequate to meet any prob
able demand, but in the event of
general European war, foreign mar
kets would be demoraliZed, the eX-
port demand would be abnormal and
American packers would have to pay
abnormal prices for cattle. Neces-

WILSON WANTS COOPERATION
OF BUSINESS MEN

Washington, July 29.-Probably
the most important conferences with
representatives of the business inter-
ests of the country yet held by Pres.
Wilson took place today. Nearly ev-
cry business organization in the gen
eral wholesale line was represented
at one while the second was with
Huge Chalmers, automobile manu-
facturer. z
1t was explained that the confer
ence, like all others that have preced-
ed them, were for the purpose of per-
hitting a general exchange of views
regarding business. Various senti-
ments were developed from the visit
ors, but the president again insisted
that if cooperation will come from
business men generally there is no
doubt that real prosperity will come.

FOOTBALL STAR
 WORKED AS FIREMAN


 Cincinnati, Jan. That there is a more serious side to the lives of many football players than the mere appear ance on the gridiron is revealed in the case of Elmer o. O1iphant, Purdue,s great halfback, who is regarded as one of .ise greatest players in the west. Oliphant is the son of a. min CT at Linton, Ind, and when he com pleted his high school course he found himself financially unable to go to college unless he could work his way through.
 This is his senior year and he has labored hard to make both ends meet Last summer he worked as fireman in a boiler shop in a southern Indiana city. and after he had held the posi- ton 8, few days he surprised his boss by asking him to be allowed to work both day and night shifts, thus draw ing two mems pay and doing two or dinary mems work.
 The boss told the lad that he could not possibly stand the strain. 'Let me try, said Oliphant Thereupon the request was granted Then this young man for forty-six consecutive days worked night and day at hard manual labor, putting in eighteen and nineteen hours out of every twenty four. His determination, as shown in paying his way through school, probably also explains much of his success on the gridiron.

 The threat from Gainer is not one made for publicity purposes or to gain a concession in the way of salary or contract from the Detroit club, for the Tiger contracts have not as yet been received by the players, and further more Gainer makes no mention what ever in his letter of being dissatisfied with the cIub1or the treatn1ent he has

TINKER SALE MAY
 MAKE BIG FIGHT
Brooklyn Wants $15,OOO Back And Cincinnati Club
 Laughs Harshly.

A probable struggle within the Ma tional League, involving the ownership of the $15,O0O which President Ebbets Of Brooklyn paid to President Herr mann of Cincinnati for the release of Joe Tinker, is the latest development in the recent big deal which both startled and amused the baseball world. M It is not likely to break for some time,.s or until the National League has learned whether or not Tinker can be forced. to remain in or ganized baseball. If the civil courts decide that Tinker can play where he pleases, the battle for the thousands will be on.
 From Brooklyn comes the staten ent that the directors are not worrying any about the money since the articles of the sale stipulated that the deal was binding only on condition that Tinker should sign a Brooklyn con tract and report for duty with the Superbas. From Garry Hermann comes a statement that differs con siderably from the opinion held in Brooklyn:
 7 5s. .I wish it distinctly understood, 2 says Hermann, that the reported jumping of Joe Tinker to the Federal League does not affect in. the slightest degree the sale of Tinker to Brooklyn by the Cincinnati Club. An erroneous
  sale of Tinker is off unless he signs with Brooklyn. This is not the case. The sale of Tinker to the Brooklyn Club for s15, ,o0o was absolute, and Brooklyn assumed all the risk of sign ing him. The Cincinnati Club has nothing further to do with the case. Moreover, the two extra agreements, by which the Reds secured options on Yingling and Moran, and also have the right to sell Egan to Brooklyn for the sum of $5,O00, are in force and sun- affected by anything Tinker may do. The Cincinnati Club is protected by three signed agreements, and has also received the cheek of the Brooklyn Club for s15,oo0.4 This will not be returned. no matter what Joe may 5do.s
 As each club owner has a high re- gard for that $15,oO0. and each feels that it belongs to him, some interest ing developments are. due if Tinker sticks with the Federal League.

NEW HAVEN WILL DISPOSE
 OF BOSTON&MAINE SHARES

Boston, Mass, Jan. 1--Howard Elli- ott, chairman, and the directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, believe they have found a way of re1inquishing control of the Boston and Maine railroad and satis- flying the federal Department of Jus tice without suffering the penalty. of an enforced disposition of the Boston and Maine stock at heavy pecuniary loss.
 Inasmuch as MT. McReynoIds. At torney General, insists that the New Haven must give up the Boston and Maine, the problem for the directors has been to devise some means of Acomp plying which would save the greater part of the substantially ESQ., 00O, 900 which the New Haven shas in vested in that property They feel that the solution is the formation of a voluntary trust to take over the stock%and bonds of the 9Bos- ton Railroad Holding Co, which owns consi derably more than majority of the stock of the Boston and Maine.
 It is proposed that this voluntary trust shall extend over a sufficient period to permit the rehabilitation to a, dividend paying basis with a. con sequent advance in the market value of its stock.ey. 5-.-,

NATIONAL LEAGUE MADE MORE
 MONEY THAN AMERICAN RIVAL
Giants Secretary Declares Only Four Clubs Tn Johnson Organization
 Prospered In 1913

tsGive us war; Ban Johnson ghas the right dope said Secretary Foster of the New York National League club yesterday, "A baseball war will not do any harm, and it may do a lot of good The only fault I find with Bans statement is that he seems to-be a little too fond of his own league.
 Johnson says 1913 was a bad year in baseball for minor leagues, kand this is true, as it was one of the worst years the minors have ever experi- enced. Ban, however, goes further than this, afd says that the American League was the only circuit which had good season. He says the National League drew worse. last year than in many years, and in this cannot agree with him.
 s'I cannot see where the American League made any more money last season than the National League. About four cities ino the American League. made money, while I do not think there was a, city in the National League that did not make some money at the gate. They might not, have been able to declare any dividends, owing to outstanding obligations, but they did not run behind.
 s.The only clubs which made any money in the American League were Washington Cleveland, Chicago and Philadelphia The Athletics made some money, but not near what would be

expected from such a ball club. Joe Ohl, the business manager of the club, told me on some days the Athletics did not take in enough money at the gate to pay for the cement to fill in the cracks in the outde1d wall. x 'tConeeding the attendance is much higher now than it was ten years ago, it aIsot must be taken into considera- ton that the expenses are now double of what they were ten years back. Ball players are getting twice as much now as they did at the end of the National American League war, while all trav- cling expenses have doubled
 Formerly we put up a ball player at a $2.50 a day hotel; now we have to pay $5.5O for him. Every player in ssists on having a room with a bath. Formerly wesgot concessions from the railroads. Now the New Y ork club must pay the same rates for it's play CTS asJohn Smith or Tom Brown must pay.
 F DO you know that we i'd not make any money on a. single one of our Western trips. We actually lost on our last swing around the circuit. It is hard to see how these Federals can hope to make any money with their long jumps. It. costs us $1.5OO to take the team from New York to St. Louis. How much would it cost them to take a team from Baltimore to Kansas City ?''

It took all the coaxing possible on CIarke's part to get Heinie into a uni form that afternoon.
 Clarke returned to his hotel in Philadelphia one night about II o'clock and on opening the door of his room he was astounded to see a man in bed and a physician sitting by his side holding the patients pulse. Fig uring he was in the wrong room Clarke retreated, but soon found out that he had been right.

tary trust, with the approval of the Department of Justice.
 The trustees to be designated will be satisfactory to the attorney gen eral and to the authorities of Massa- chusetts.
 The New Haven will transfer to tho trustees the capital stock and the, bonds of the Boston Railroad Holding Company, nearly all of which it owns, which will carry possession of the control of the capital stock of the Boston and Maine.
 The trustees will then literally be in control of the Boston and Maine Rail- road, and they will sit as members of the Board of Directors.
 The New Haven will receive nothing for the transfer of the stock and bonds to the Boston Railroad Holding Company to the trustees.
 At the end of ten years, or what eyer time is fixed for the termina- ton. Of the voluntary trust, the Boston and Maine stock owned by the Boston Railroad Holding Co. is to be sold and the proceeds are to be idistriblt- ed pro rata among the then stock holders of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The Boston Railroad Holding Company is to be dissolved as soon as the Boston and Maine stock is thus sold. The trust is to be a self-perpetuat- ing one-that is, if one of the trustees dies or resigns those remaining are to choose his successor. This provision is intended to pre- vent the New York, New Haven and Hartford from exercising any control over the trustees who are to admin ister the Boston and Maine Railroad.

PRACTICAL SPEAKING
 BY EXTENSION GRADUATE

In response to a number of requests, the educational department of our To- cal Y. M. c. A. has included a, 15- week course in public and extem poraneous speaking on it's list of, pop .ular evening study courses for the spring months.
 The instructor of this department of study will be George M. MacDon- ald, B. s., who successfully conducted a similar course at the Y. M e A. two years ago MT. Macdonald is a graduate of the extension course in public speaking in Columbia. univer- Sity.
 The aim in this course in public speaking is to make the work as prac- tical as possible, and to that end the time of the class will be devoted to individual platform practice and helpful. criticism rather than lectur- ing by the Instructor. The first ses sion of this course will occur on Fri day evening, Jan. 9th. A free pass to same may be secured from the ed ucatiOnal secretary.
