PLAYING A DEEP GAME

New York, Jan. SIN two weeks-per-
haps sooner-the Federal League leaders
win publish a list of players signed up
TO that time that will include the names
Of at least fifteen major league players
This is the tip that comes out today.
Its source 10 a man who is supposed to
be Sin on the know" as far as Federal
League affairs are concerned. and who.
in the past. has proved himself to be a
reliable tipster.
he also slips, the little information that
the Federal League has made more prog
ress in signing up organized baseball
players since 1t really got busy than did
the American League in the same period
of time in its fight for National League
stars back in 1901.
when the Federal League makes its
announcement 1t will cause considerable
surprise" declared the informant 1t
win contain the names Of PLAYERS who
have not previously been mentioned as
the particular fish for which the Federals
have been angling.
Don't get the idea that the Federals
are after only those players whose names
figure in the papers. or that they are
negotiating with only those players. The
Federals are playing deep and mighty
shrewd game.

But without proportional representa-

are either merely a protest-like the
Socialist yote--or they are thrown
away.
AS matter OF political strategy
the maintenance OF the Progressive
party becomes merely a question as
10 whether It's members are willing To
continue as a Democratic aid 30
ciety." II the Democratic party Is
worthy OF Progressive aid. then the
Progressive voter may be willing TO
continue the split in the opposition
for the mere purpose of helping the
Democrats TO remain in power. In
deciding this question the voter must
consider not only the democracy or
Woodrow Wilson. but the bourbonism
OF the southern Democrats--men like
Underwood. simmons, Fletcher, Rams
dell, Martin Williams, Stone. Clarke,
lloke Smith, Thornton, Broussard,
Burnett. Adamson, Alexander. Hay,
Padgett. Moon, Sparkman, and Henry.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-An in
crease OF the Socialist vote in the re-
cent elections Is shown by the unor-
fetal returns at hand. That this vote
has gone 10 more than one million
and may have reached million and
half is the claim OF the party Of
iicials. Judged by the number OF SO
cialist officials elected. the increase
In the Socialist vote was at least so
per cent. over tie vote two years ago.
The Socialists ~efeeted~to office one
congressman, four state senators, 20
members OF state legislatures, and
possibly some others where the re-
turns will be In doubt until the Off.
cial canvass is made. This is 90
per cent more Socialist legislators
elected than two years ago This
takes no account of the smaller po-
litical Offices, county and city OFF,
cials. where in many localities the
Socialists won The most rcmarka-
BILE showing was in Oklahoma, where
they captured q state senator and five
members OF the legislature, and car
ried FIVE counties outright. In three
states alone-Texas, Oklahoma and
Montana-half million Socialist
votes were cast.
This Increase in the Socialist
strength at time when there was an
apparent reaction 10 the old standpat
Republican ranks, accompanied 10y a
breaking up of the Progressive party
and the reduction in the Democratic
strength is a seeming paradox. Those
people who are reading in the returns
that what the people want is reaction
and stand.patism fail to see the sig.
nificance OF this increase in the So
cialist strength. This increase is
made up in some part at least OF dis
contented rogressives-those who
thought they saw i'm the Progressive

Visits State College
Special to The Telegraph

State College. Pa, April 21.-State
College athletes led the way down the
trail' for 400 men of the Blue and
White yesterday afternoon, following
a sermon to the college boys by Billy
Sunday. baseball evangelist. Billy
made his appeal especially to the lead
ers in college activities. Captain
Binder, of the basketball team; Cap
tain Jones, of the wrestling team;
Vogt, Sheyse and Craig. of the football
team; Coach Martin, of the track
team; Elliott A. Runner. Harry Hill,
president of the junior class, and Levi
Lamb. captain of the 1915 wrestling
team, were among those who 'hit the
trail"
State College gave Billy a well
come and a farewell that is equaled
only when the football team returns
victorious.
One mile fro mthe college 400 fresh
men, wearing green skull caps, the
sign of their class, awaited the auto
mobiles. They halted the machine,
hitched the rope to the automobiles
and dragged them along College ave-
nue. to the college.
