Hiqh Cost of Baseball.

That the high cost of baseball and small margin of profit are not con- fined to the present day is proved by the report of the Boston baseball club of 1875. The figures of forty years ago show that the expenses of the team for the season were s34 4505.99 and the re- ceipts s37,767.06. leaving a profit of s3.261.O7, which was less than 10 per cent of the gross receipts.

~ THING back of the press box ~ at the Chicago American
 A league park were three fans
 who were pals and regu-
 attendance. They were dis cussing great players, and each had his faVorltes in whom he could see no fault, but each could pick some flaw in the pets of the others. Just then Eddie Collins pulled a play with a bit or the unexpected in 1t that wrecked the opposing teams offense," writes Cy Sanborn, the veteran baseball expert.
 Said one of the three:
 "Tve hardly missed a game this sea- son, and I haven't seen that second baseman think of the wrong play.
 "'Nor r. said another of the three. Nor r. echoed the third.
 "That is why Eddie Collins Is worth to winning team every cent of the big price Charles A. Comiskey gave Philadelphia for his services and every cent of his big bi-monthly pay check.
 No Attempt at Comparison.
 "This is no attempt to compare Eddie Collins with other great players-past present or future-nor to make him out an errorless wonder, than whom there is not. or was, or ever will be a greater But as I watched the White Sox and the Red Sox battling for the lead in tho double header which opened their recent series the incident of those three fan pals was recalled, and I wondered if they were there to see what the Sox keystone guardian did and how earn estly and brilliantly he worked to win both those games one of which was lost in spite of him. Perhaps the fans who did not see that double combat would like to know too.
 Tn tho attack Collins twice put the White Sox in the lead in the first game after the Bostonians had tied up the score. and in each case he did it with little help from his pals. In Chicago's fourth, after the Red Sox had scored one run, knotting the tally made by Felsch's home run, Collins led the at tack on Foster with three base hit before anybody was out. Anything would score him, but Fournier made sure of it with. a single. And before that round was over the White Sox had . lead of two runs.
 Two Bases on Sacrifices.
 "That lead was wiped out in the eighth whom Boston counted twice. Again in the Chicago half Collins put victory within Chicago's grasp, and by a bril- liant feat. On an error and an out he reached second base with one down. With Leibold at bat, Collins started for third just as the batsman laid down a bInt which pulled Gardner off that sack. Leibold was thrown out at first, but when the ball reached Gainer Col Ens was halfway between third and IaoE1e, and he finished with a terrific Lltce which eluded the catcher's touch, I3though Gainer relaycd the ball to the rsate iu time for an even break at Nest. That this one run lead, estab- Nsned by Collins speed, was wiped out by Boston in the ninth inning does not J lu any way detract from the value of hir efforts. 'a -'aOn the defense in that-f1rst game Col" Hrs enacted, the role of life saver three s sciferent times not by brilliant stops | or throws or catches so much as by be- ing at the right spot in the right in stant to nip Boston base runners.

KING ALBEsT OF BEIG4UM
 IS FORTY TIERS OLD TO-DAY

An exile from his throne, his coun- try occupied by powerful enemy and his subjects scattered and reduc- ed to eating the crusts of charity, AL. bert, king of the BeIgians, will cele+ brate his fortieth birthday today. It will be a Sad celebration, yet tighten . ed by hope, for King Albert main tains a serene confidence that he will soon be restored to his capital and that Belgium will again become a. prosperous, contented and independ- ent nation. The ruler of Belgium is a soldterly figure. standing well over six feet in height. In his boyhood there was little thought that he would ever be called upon to ascend the throne, but the death of three other heirs made Albert Leopold Clement Maria Meinrad-to give him his full naTne-the successor Of Leopold IL when that notorious old monarch was called to his reward in 1909. Albert was educated as a. soldier, and had experience in all branches of the ser vice. In character and tastes he is almost the direct opposite of his pre- decessor, and had not been long on the throne Before attaining an almost universal popularity In the war he has played the role of a hero, and his devotion to duty and personal courage, and his determination to share as far as possible all the hard ships and trials of his people, have made him the most popular of mod ern rulers. He has been the real. ac- tive. directing head of the Belgian army-that little force Of ragged sol- diers whose courage and pluck have made them worthy to rank with the Old Guard, of Napoleon. The king often visits, the trenches, under fire, andf personally encourages his men
 King Albert is a. nephew of the late Leopold. his father having been Prince Philippe of SaxeCoburg and Gotha and Flanders. Long before he ascended the throne Albert spent sev- eral months as a newspaper reporter, and, it is said, took assi ignments from his chief as cheerfully and neekIy as any cub. As 8 writer he possesses no small ability, and his sense of hu- nor is said to be very acute. The Belgian king married Duchess Eliza beth of Bavaria, but, in spite of her German origin, she is fervently loyal to the BeIegian xeause. The king is smooth shaven and boytsh in appear ance, but the trials of the last few months are said to have drawn deep lines in his face and to have given him a haggard expression.

POSTAL SERVICE.

The first of the many important extensions in the usefulness of the United States postal service was put into effect sixty years ago today, when the registry system was established. The provision for the registration of letters, for their greater safety, was not an American innovation, however. In this, as in the adoption of postage stamps and the adoption of a low and uniform rate of postage, the United States only followed the example of the British government. The postal money order system, which had been established in England in 1792 and came into general use in that country in 184O, was not set up in the United States until 1884, at about the same time as free delivery of mail was in augurated in the cities. The special delivery system was authorized in 1885. Rural free delivery was the next important step in extending. the utility of the postoffice. Parcel post and postal savings banks are com parative1y recent innovations in the United States, and were adopted
 much earlier in the leading countries of Europe.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT ENTERTAINMENT
 OF SETON GUILD
Amateurs Show Professional Skill in Presentation of
 Clever Program.

Certainly one of the most enterpr1s- ing and enjoyable affairs which has ever been given in this city by an or ganizaGon of young people was the vaudeville show of the Elizabeth Seton Guild at the Casino last evening. The guild is always springing surprises in the form of good times upon it's friends but last evenings was more than an exception to the rule.
 Hundreds attended the performance and stayed afterwards to watch the dancing or to participate in it, until all festivities ceased on the stroke of 12
 The show was introduced by James Mahoney, who appeared after the manner of a. well known theatrical rnanager of this town and announced the show for next week. Miss Az nes Light then came upon the scene and theNtwo carried out an act which many professionals do not equal. In a. clever little song they managed to knock. a number of we'll known people of the town.
 Albert Lapke. accompanied by Miss Lillian Sullivan sang two splendid so- los which were much appIauded. Miss Agnes Marsh, a graceful dancer whose art has delighted thousands of BHdgeporters at various amateur events. was seen in two beautiful solo dances. One represented the dance of the goddess of the sea and the other was a series of steps and arabesques originated by the talented young lady to the music of Dvorak's Humoreske.
 Then followed the main feature of the evening. the performance Of 'sThis Thing, the clever suffrage p1ay1et in which Leo McEdroy starred. The per formance was a good one, and the play being an amusinglg funny one, pro- vided the JoviaI audience with an op- porfunity for much laughter. 1 Seats were then moved to the side and the floor cleared for the dancing o1 Miss Lillian Hartigan and James Mo Bride. This was Miss Hartiganss first public denonstra of the art in which she has gained much proficiency during the past few months. With her partner, who is a popular and well known dancer about town, Miss Har- tigan executed the hesitation waltz one step and fox trot in a clever man ner which was a delight to all who 1 witnessed it. Miss Hartigan and MT. Mcbride were showered with congrat-
 ulations at the conclusion of thei1 number.
 The members of the society who were ushers for the affair wore the quaint costume of the Dutch maiden.
