 BASEBALL ON VERGE OF BREAK"
 So scream the headlines.
 The labor war that will result from this break-if anything results at all will probably be conducted along more modern and less bloody and sensational lines than that of the Colorado mines. or of the Lawrence cotton mills-or any other recent strike disturbances. But the exact amount of column-i inches of space, will probably be greater. This is true-unless the newspapers of the United States take a notion to pull off one year in advance, their threatened cutting down" on the space to be devoted to the national sport If anything on this good old world will smash baseball, it is this too vivid de- lneation of it's business secrets. It has 1 been under the delusion that baseball | IS sport, that the American Public | has patronized it so extensively the l past two or three decades. Already, | this year, the grand holler has gone | forth. Gate receipts are not what they might be. The deer peep have sort of 1 found something else to amuse them selves with, and baseball has gone back 1 financially. No sensational headlines have declared that the directors of the big league clubs would devote some of the millions they have scraped together off the public the past few years to ! bridging this gap. When one thinks what the National league has paid in 1 dividends in five years, one wonders why, with all this coin, the magnate | fellows can't stifle this noise about l octopus uz'' having control of sport. | They have a bloomin' good example in | the horse racing and prize fighting promoters who permitted the intimate details of their money arrangements to creep into the public prints and show the fans that all was not sport that got | space in the pink
 It is variously said that the organi zation which controls baseball is top heavy, and that it is not found on that strictly business-like principle which makes the show business so solid, and that it is worse than what one would ! imagine an affiliated union of artists and sculptors to be- But it is true that while the game itself depends on the persnicketiness of a lot of very tenn peramental athletes. the corporation it. self, is more or less loosely strung to- gether
 However, the real condition of af- fairs will be revealed when the squab- ble develops a bit more. To the side which proposes an armistice first, i'm pute the more weakness.

Perils Of the Ministry

Among the perils of the minis
try, there are few more dangerous
to the preacher than popularity.
He is human, and often awfuIy
human; and therefore he is subject
to the weaknesses and passions OF
man, except as he may live on
higher ground by maintaining
close walk with God. He is most
liable to desire popularity with
the people; and, desiring it, he is
most liable to seek it, and often at
the expense of truth and righteous
ness. Were he left to the in
iuence of the Holy Spirit and even
to his own better judgment, he
might keep the mastery of himself
and stand true to the truth, pop
ular or unpopular. But this is no
the lot of most men, and especially
is it not the lot of most ministers;
for they are not left to the in
huence Of the Holy Spirit, nor to
the mans own better judgment as
to the desirability and necessity Of
keeping himself popular with the
people. The minister's adversary,
the devil, like a roaring lion, is
walking up and down the earth,
seeking whom he may devour.-
