NEW YORK. Feb, l.--Pres'dent
Ebbets. of the Brooklyn club. said he
had not heard about the joint meeting
~ the Big leagues. but admitted that
such a conclave would result in a
clearer understanding Of many things,
Ebbets raised several interesting points
In discussing the Federal league.
'sThe eFderal league has perfect
right to establish Its clubs In any OF
the major Or minor cities and. to spend
IN much, money for new stadiums as
II can afford, but it should not be per-
mitted to take away from such players
who have cost money, and who have
sold options on their services to MS
for another year. The Federals want
to kill the reserve rule, II possible
why. Can they improve the way
baseball has been handled in recent
years? The American league sue
ceeded because 1t believed in contin-
nous baseball without conflicting dates
in major league cities There was
room for that circuit But there is
NO room for the Federals, when it is
remembered that they have no par
ticular creed"

public spirited citizens buy several re-
served seats so that they secure a
dozen or twenty extra admission TEX
cts to send to high school classes. col
lege students or to commercial schools.
Some spectators, quick to see their
own advantage, use the reserved seat
coupon to see the entertainment and
then sell to others the two admission
tickets at their face value of 70 cents
each. thus repaying themselves the cost
of all tickets and touring the world
in first cabin at no cost whatever.
There is no way to prevent selling
these extra admission tickets. hut the
plan was conceived and instituted TO
help students who would be instructed

he is trying a little experiment with
the public. He wishes TO see II they
have welcome for new kind of
trot.
"On its legitimate merits he says,
"the globe trot is just as enticing as

that mine is a trip on which at last
they can go. are quite as apt to be
pleased as those who merely trip the
tango"
In addition to being globe trotter,
lecturer and linguist. Mr., Dwiggins Is
also a humorist of the subtler kind.
In his travels he nearly always sees
the funny side of things. always the
interesting side---and never the dry

and wonderful globe girdling pictures
are first and all Interesting. after anus

are concrete geography from the hu-

ing that they appreciated the invita-

friend, who had seen and heard the

giving one or two extra admission
tickets to all buyers OF reserved seats

abuses.
