FEDS TRYING no scAnE MINORS.

1t can be said directly that one OF
IN inc ptt,ns ,no' Ives , J ' nnf
inveiglc one or more minor leagues
to desert organized baseball and affili-
ate themselves with the Fedcrals. The
independents do not want subsidiary
circuits for the purpose they declare
publicly---as a place TO develop future
stars for the third big lcague-but so
that they Will have a place to dump
their castoHs who arc still under long
term contracts, and must play some
where or be n dead drag on the eX
chequer. There arc q good many old
timers on the Fed rosters who arc not
up't to standard high enough TO play
regularly. but who nevertheless can
insist on getting their salaries.
This Is one reason the Feds Will at
tend the gathering. Another is that
they will como into contact with II
number of players who Will be there,
which will offer an opportunity Of dick
cring for signatures to Fed contracts.
still another motive lies In the fact
that the Feds arc hoping against hope
that something may occur 10 bring or
ganizcd ball into "a peace pact with
them. Hence the uncertainty.

BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE

Other Devastations.

Every year, according to scientists
who attempt to keep the general rec
ords, at least 10000, 900 human beings
are born on this earth and 60, 900 600
or 10000, 900 die. This indicates a
daily birth rate Of about 220, 600 and
a death rate OF 10000. The daily
Increase in population therefore is
about 10000. The total population Of
the globe is estimated at 1900, 600 900.
The ravages of war do little to i'm
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the upheavals OF nature
The Franco-Prussian var killed about
10000 In seven months. The death
roll of the Russo-Japanese reached
about 100000. A single earthquake
N737, in lndia) has been estimated ia
have caused 300, 600 deaths. The IA
t~alities of the Nessina earthquake in
1908 cannot have been far short OF
100000. a tidal wave in 1896 drowned
21.00o persons in Japan. causing a
greater loss of life than the whole
war with China in 1924. The earth
