junior LEAGUES
POLICY EXCELS
America League Teams Re-
place Old-timers with
Young Blood.
NATIONAL SENTIMENTAL

Because they persist in hanging on to
their veterans long after their real use
fulness is gone-that's the reason why
the National League, once the classiest
organization in baseball. has had to yield
first place to the American League.
There has been no denying of the fact
that for the past four years the American
League teams have had it ON their
National rivals. The American Leaguers
have been triumphant in the last four
world series combats, and in the majority
of the postseason games between the
Americans and Nationals the teams of
the younger organization have been tri-
Umphant. In 1913 the American Leaguers
were winners in every series in which
they engaged with the Nationals.
glance through the baseball records
shows the reason. The American League
keeps a star player as long as he per-
forms in major league style-but not one
day longer. They cut him adFift when
he starts to skid and supplant him with
new bloOd-bring to the fore some young
sters who soon shine just as brightly as
did the stars of old.
Old League Different.
With the National League it is differ
ent. Sentiment seems to cause them to
keep in the regular lineup many old
stars long after they have slowed up
long after added years have robbed them
of their former pTowess and made them
inferior to the youngsters who are camp
ing on the benches waiting to break in.
Looking over the l9gi records OF the
American League and comparing the rOs-
ters of those days with that of 1914
shows that only five men of the 40 odd
then in that league are still in American
League harness. Those men are Lajoie
and Turner, OF the Maps; Crawford, of
the Tigers, and Bender and Plank, of the
Jimmy Callahan. now mana
ger of the White SOx; Clark Griffith.
now manager> of the Senators, and Nick
coacf1er, and Harry Davis, of
the Athletics are the only players who
played in 1904 who are still drawing sala-
ries from the American League.
Slipping Stars sidetracked,
CHANGING over the 1893 rosters of the
American and National Leagues, and
them with the present ones,
shows that the Nationals still have near
ly seventy men in their lineups who
we're there in I9Oe. while the Americans
have only about forty. This means that
the American Leaguers have weeded out
the slipping stars of the other days and
that the National Leaguers nave hung
onto theEl-and lost considerable pres
tige thereby.
1t seems to be up to the National
Leaguers to weed out the veterans and
let the bench-warming kids oOze out into
the spotlight if they want to save them
selves from slipping to a minor league
status when compared with the speed
boys of the American League. The new
has forged ahead so rapidly
in the past few years, has so clearly out
classed the Nationals, that many skepti- |
cal fans are declaring that the Nationals !
today, despite their galaxy of stars, do !
lOt rank superior to some of the first
division teams in the Glass AA minor |

Brooklyn was opposed to the twin

NIGHT TELEPHONE
 RATES ABOLISHED RULE EFFECTIVE NOV. 1 MINIMUM DAY SERVICE ALSO RAISED FROM TWO TO
 THREE MINUTES.

Effective yesterday a new schedule of long-distance toll rates became eff fective over the Southwestern tele- phone lines in this state, the night rates, which were lower than those for day service, being abolished and made the same as the day rates. Some changes were also made in the toll rates, being raised in some in- stances and lowered in others, and the minimum time for long distance conversations was increased from two to three minutes.
 Under the old rate a fivve-minute talk between Conway and Little Rock could be had for 25 cents, which was also the minimum charge for two minutes. Under the new schedule a lthree-minute conversation between the same points costs 25 cents, with five cents for each additional minutes, making five minutes cost 35 cents. The old minimum rate between Con- way and Morrilton was 25 cents, but under the new schedule the rate for three minutes between these points is | 20 cents.
 l Manager G. w. Sammons of the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele- phone Company when questioned in regard to the withdrawal of night toll rates, stated that the action was nec- essary to enable the company to fur nish satisfactory sevice. Most toll calls at night rates were received im- mediately after p. m. when the night rates became effective, thus con- gesting traffic seriously and causing delay and dissatisfaction to subscrib- CTS. Practically every other telephone company in the country has discon- lltinued night rates for the same req son.
 Night rates are not offered in any state adjoining Arkansas except Tex as, he said.

POSTAL SAVINGS : INCREASED BY WAR
10 MILLION IN } MONTHS
NUMBER OF DEPOSITORS IN- CREASES ENORMOUSLY
 SINCE WAR BEGAN.

The war in Europe is proving big boon to postal savings in this country. From the very day hostilities opened across the seas postal savings receipts began to increase by leaps and bounds and withdrawals fell off, result quite contrary to the predictions of many well informed persons who, in their imagination, saw lines of fever ish depositors at postoffice pay win dows anxious to again return their savings to the bootleg and body-belt Repositories whence they came before intrusted to Uncle Sam But the fore casters failed to reckon on the abso- lute confidence of the America nciti- zen, regardless of the flag that first met his eyes, in the ability and pur- pose of the government to carry out it's obligations, not only among the nations of the earth, but with the humblest citizen of our land.
 Two important results have follow ed; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad are now patrons of our postal savings system; and enormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our own people at time when the need for every available dollar is pressing.
 The growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the system has filled an important gap between the tin-can depository and the factory paymaster. On July 1, when affairs were running smoothly here and abroad and the transmission of money across the Ae- ilantic was safe and expeditions, there was approximately $43,000,000 of postal savings standing to the credit of about 3s8,000 depositors. Since
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-11-02

then over $lo.0OO,O0O of deposits have been added and the number of depos- itors has increased enormously. This unprecedented gain is the more strik- ing when it is considered that the net gain in the last three months is larger than the gain for the entire fiscal year 1914. Scores of offices have done more postal savings business since the war has been going on than was done by them during the previous existence of the service. The in creases are confined to no special To- calities, but have been felt in every nook and corner of the country. New
 York city alone made a gain in Sep tember of more than a million, while Brooklyn showed relatively big in crease. Chicago reported larger gain in the past three months than for the previous 12 month. More than 1000 new accounts were opened during the period, bringing the num- Der of depositors in that city up to over 21,O00.
 The unexpected increase in postal savings business has not only added greatly to the general administrative duties of the system, but has brought up many new and interesting prob lems which have called for the care full personal consideration of Post master General Burleson and Cover nor Docke,y, third assistant postmas- ter general. But their task has been frightened somewhat by the prompt
