DAN JOHNSON says he will
u welcome baseball war,
even if the owners of
American League clubs are not
in favor of a sanguinary conflict.
Mr.. Johnson gives as his reason
for desiring a battle that base
ball conditions may be brought
back to something like a normal
state.
HE top notch in the matter of
baseball expenses was prob
ably reached in the year that has
just passed. The game can not
stand any further increase in the
cost of living and doubtless we
shall see a reaction whether the
Federal League succeeds in gain
ing a foothold or whether it dies
a peaceful death along about July
/, 1914.

HUGH DUFFY, Tommy McCar-

Boston club unless one or the
other of them got a few hundred
extra for acting as captain. Now

the combined salaries of Duffy,

San Francisco, unless Lindsay was

Somers made the most of this pow

to the Coast, and Lindsay Is a mem
Der of the 1914 Pels.
That one little change makes the
Pels look about 60 per cent better,
to our way of thinking. Besides,
knowing Mr.. Somers' love of a win
ner, we have no doubt that he will
shoot lot of talent southwark from
the Napland disCard-what?
Only Mr.. Somers tried too much of
the green and untrimmed stuff last
year and now he knows what hap
pened. Probably he won't repeat the
blunder.
That's the reason we want to bet
the Pels don't run last again next
year-that and Mr.. Lindsay.

Probably so. We know a lot of

Mike Finn, well-known Southern
League manager, has been employed to
draw up the schedule of the Georgia
State League for the season of 1914.
President Kalmon, of the Georgia
State League, has gone to work to Sc
cure an efficient corps of umpires for
next season. Already one veteran of
ten years experience in Class A ball
has agreed to terms and other men of
experience have applied for the other
vacancies.

team and CASTOR will handle the reins
for the Muskalees. Valdosta is the
only team that has not announced her
choice yet. Otto Jordan has signed
with Dallas, in the Texas League, and
will not be back with NaldOsta.
The fact that the salary limit of the
Georgia State League has been raised
$500 over last year is causing much
trouble 1t seems that practically every
y
thinks that raise should be tackled on
to his salary.
President kalmon has mailed a circu-
lar letter 10 the presidents and direc-
tors of each club asking them to con-

New Orleans does not repeat.
In 1913 the lucl1less Pelicans fin
ished a poor last, albeit winning the
pennant for the Crackers by popping
the last game of the season from the
almost as uckless Gulls.
So the New Orleans fans turned
in for their winter Information with
no prospects of rosy dreams for the
season of 1914.
The team looked so bad it didn't
seem humanity possible to Turkish it
up into a contender even for first
division honors.
PUT since this man Somers really
- has taken an interest in the Pels,
they begin not to look so bad, which
is as near as we can get the Ian
guage to say what we mean The
team isn't looking exactly good yet;
but it doesn't look SO bad, by a large
slice.
New Orleans, it will be recalled,
had a pretty fair infield last season.
1t really was a rafting good infield,
except for a weakness at third base,
and a general infection of gloom from
the rest of the club.

strong appeal for the Church to ex-
tend it's zone of influence so that it
can become more strongly interviewer
into the material lives of the Ameri-
can people. He expressed the belief
that the churches should be places Of
social entertainment during the week
days; that moving pictures should be
displayed in them, and that the people
who attend them on the Sabbath
should be made to feel that the
Church is part of their material well
fare as well as of their religious life.
"This demand of the people for
amusement and instruction through
the medium of the moving picture has
presented an immense opportunity to
the church." said Mr.. Linthicum, "yet
few churches have awaited themselves
of it. 1t occurs to me that there are
great possibilities in such an adapta-
ton. We should recognize that the
moving picture is modern invention,
bringing to us at small cost, not only
all the important plays, dramas and
comedies, but that it is an ideal means
of reproducing life and nature in all
parts Of the world. 1t is this kaledis-
copic portrayal of life, both educa-
tlonal and amusing, that appeals to
the interest of the people.
81 am told that it is the policy of
many churches that the Church con-
fine itself to the spiritual problems of
life, leaving the other problems to the
solution of others. In my view, this
is wrong. Wherever human rights are
abridged, wherever humanity is con-
tending for the advancement of man
kind, the Church should be there The
duty Of the Church is on the firing
line in human progress. II you go
back in history you will find that
was it deeper rooted in the hearts of
the people. than during the days when
it was fighting for human rights.
IF there was ever problem that
deserves the attention of your Church,
it is that. Men in your position ought
certainly to see that the working wo-
men in your congregation are not be-
ing paid wages that are inducements
to immortality. Until the Church takes
an interest in such problems, until
the pulpit becomes a force in those
affairs Of life that contribute to the
daily comfort of the people who sup
port it, it will not exercise its great
est office for good"
Mr.. Linthicum then referred to the
great social nerves of the United
States Government is doing for its
people. He said, the man, no matter
which way he turns, finds helping
hand from the Government for the
betterment of his condition. He con-
tended that the Church should make
itself part of the mans daily life, as
the National Government is doing for
his protection, and when it does, the
Church will be stronger than ever.
