 In closing let me say once more all honor to, those Christian gentlemen who, notwithstanding their certain and considerable loss of money, elect ed to, observe their Good Friday as in former years. To give up one day of business when those who strive be- side them do likewise is often trial enough for some, but for the few to give a day to the glory of God, 1eav- ing to others the money which that few might have shared in, is a thing as wonderful and to be admired as 1t is unusual.

LITTLE TOWNS WITH BIG NAMES

THE names of OUR great cities are in a
number of cases also borne by small
villages and towns throughout the country.
For instance, there is, in Henderson County,
Texas, small place, which contains but few
inhabitants and dwellings, that is called
New York.
In addition to the big city on Lake NIichi-
gan, there are three little Chicagos and two
New Chicagos. One Chicago is in the noun
is quite town in Huron County, Ohio and
the other is in Dawson County, Texas. The
New Chicagos are in Indiana and Montana.
There are seven little Philadelphias, none
of them particularly distinguished by thrift
or enterprise. One is in Jefferson County,
New York. There are at least two towns
that have adopted the name of Hub,-in
Georgia and Mississippi presumably in
compliment to Boston. Brooklyn is a fa-
vorite name. There are over twenty Brook
lyns; but none more pleasantly situated
than Brooklyn, Pennsylvania.
Nearly every State has Washington.
Washington, Kentucky, is one of the oldest
towns in the State, and is almost of an age
with the national capital. The old court
house at the Kentucky Washington, erected
in 1894, is still standing. AS girl, Harriet
Beecher, afterward Mrs. Stowe, taught
school in the slavery days: She once Wit

of Maysville, where Eliza is supposed to

NEW YORK, June 5-"What's the
matter with base balI?" This innocent
enough looking question is just now quite
a serious problem with the owners of
some sixteen major league ball clubs.
1t Is also real live topic with the back
ers OF many more minor base ball enter
prises and has even caused the Federal
promoters to sit up and peer around in
search OF an answer. In fact virtually
every one financially interested in the
national game is anxious to know what
has happened to cause an apparent slack
ening of interest in the national pastime
Appended are few things Johnny"
Evers had to say on the subject. Every
fan" knows what great understanding
of the game from the playing point of
view Evers has, but one must hear him
talk base ball from the business end to
realize that his knowledge does not stop
with a mere study of it as a player
Evers is keenly alive to all the business
phases of base ball and he has formed
some interesting opinions regarding the
widespread falling off in attendance at
the big league parks.
Breaking Down of Idols.
'It looks to me-" said Evers. "as though
the public had begun to lose confidence in
some of the old idols of base -ball-not all
of them, but some. For a great many
years now there have been certain ball
players before the public who have been
idolized for their skill on the diamond
In every city there has been at least one
player whose career has been watched by
the loyal rooters. Their names have be-
come household words. they have been
known by pet nicknames and have been
looked up to and revered. Maybe all this
adulation has been foolish. but 1t has eX-
listed nevertheless It's part of the game.
this thing of having base ball heroes. and
the box office receipts prove that the
more heroes there are the bigger the
financial returns.
"AI heroes are supposed to conduct
themselves along perfectly good heroic
lines, and when they fail it gives ter
rble jolt to the confidence reposed in
them A pitcher who is a public idol
may lose a close game and be forgiven
promptly, or he may even be batted from
the box and have it overlooked. The
public is tickle regarding such things.
But when base ball idols commit breaches
Of a different character there is a de-
cided difference. 1t hurts the faithful
fan deeply to think that some player
who has helped to lift the favored team
to a high place in the standing would
jump to rival organization just because
he is offered a little more money. The
public realizes that player is no more
than human that he is anxious to make
Just as much money as he possibly can,
