 That is the answer that the mag nate must not overlook in shaping his plans for 1915 and in shaping his plans he must renaen1ber that owing to the European war, the bi1sdness men of this country are Islaa1ali ing for one of the greatest eras of prosperity ever known in the country. Business is

Now. when the baseball fan is working steady he feels that he can afford to think and enjoy his ia yorite pas time. and send some of his family once in a while and let them have a little enjoyment With this increase in patronage the big league can afford to go out in 1915 and buy

Joe shugrue lacks justsone thing, Z according to Frank Erne as quoted in because while he's hitting he's throw a local paper. .'He doesn't hit hard, ing himself in. He has no base to hit from
 s.Most boxers strike from where they stand writes Dick Gain in 3 Psnadelphia paper, thus lessening the effects of their blows. Were they to step in with the punch 1t would be much harder, as it would be backed up by their weight, which would add. trenendously to their hitting power. ' Now whats a. poor boxer to do. If he followed Erne's advice he would ssssetss for his punches while if MT Rains tip were taken he would be moving in every time he led. My own belief is that what is q good sys- tenn for one man may not be so for ganother. | have known boxers who could hit terrific punches from set po- sitions, while others could not put any considerable heft to blows delivered in that way, @ Each and every boxer should operate along the lines best suited to his individual style.
 A corresp ondent has sent me a clip ping from a compilation by some sta tistician showing the number of deaths in different lines of sport dur ing the past decade. It will be ob- served that boxing is a parlor game compared with certain other popular forms of sport, taking a. line from the number of fatalities: Baseball, 264; football, 1sSs Auto racing 115; box ing, ST, etc
 Even tennis did not escape its toll in deaths. It is 3 matter of record that two persons have succumbed to sits strenuous pursuit

.DEFORMED CHILD |S ALLOWED
 TO DIE

NEW YORK. Dec. 2. - X second case of allowing a child to die be- cause it would have been defective and a burden on society if allowed to live, occurred in this city today, and the matter is attracting national at- tention, and had renewed the contro- versy that is waging around the ethics of the matter. The first case arose in Chicago, where the child was a mental defective, and the doctor in charge of the Maternity hospital refused to perform an operation ne cessary to save it's life. Today's case in this city was decided by a board of physicians, their verdict being that it was better not to perform an op- eration necessary to save little Mar garet Roberts, a deformed, but men tally sound baby. The infant died this afternoon. The operation would have easily resulted in saving the life of the baby, but the child would have been a lifelong cripple.

W Il l IMPROVE STANDARD IF
 SALOON

NEW YORK, Dee. 9. - The State Brewers Association. which is hold ing its annual meeting in thls city, has been seriously considering the conditions in the liquor business which have given rise to the tremen- dous growth of the prohibition move ment throughout the country, and are devising ways and means to stop the further spread of the prohibition movement. The question of gambling in saloons was thoroughly discussed, and unanimously condemned by the association in its sessions yesterday, shaking dice for drinks and other similar devices were held to lower the tone of the liquor business and to be one of the evils which should be eradicated. A movement was started to eliminate all saloons which are not profitably operated, as 1t was held to be inducive to sharp prac- tice for the owner swhen times were bad, with a resultant bad effect on legitimate and properly conducted saloons.

SHIPPING BILL |S DRAF TED FOR
 CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. - That the Wilson administration intends to at. tempt to pass shipping bill through the next session of Congress is clear. A draft of the proposed measure is now in the hands of the House Mer- chant Marine Committee. The bfr was prepared after members of the committee had held a conference with SecsAaries McAdoo and Redfield, in which the whole matter was gone over, and certain objectionable fea- lures in the measure which failed of passage at the previous Congress, eli minated. The new measure has sev- eral radical provisions, differing from the previous bill, one of which is an appropriation of fifty million dollars to be used for the building of mer- chant ships, which would be available as naval auxiliaries in time of war. The, bill also creates a federal board. witbyjurisdiction over deep water traffic similar to that exercised by the Interstate Commerce Commission over the railroads of the country. The measure will be made a party one. and the administration will bring all it's influence to bear to wipe out the opposition which the measure met with in the Senate last year Secre- tary Redfield is confident that the proposed bill will go a long way in relieving the extraordinary conditions that have almost paralyzed the ex- port of American goods, as evidenced by the tremendous amount of freight piled up in the Atlantic terminals of the railroads, where bottoms cannot be secured to take the stuff to Eu- rope.
