messed the big games in past years, tut such crowds are of the past. One big London club which had an aver age of 60,000 spectators at it's home games in 1913-1914, ragged only 1S,000 this season.
 Up to the beginning of the war the Football passociation, the governing body of the British soccer game, both professional and amateur, had 400 professional clubs and 75, 900 amateur clubs enrolled. These represented an aImy of nearly 500, ,000 men and boys
 "a bunch of athletes who should be able to make quite a dent If they could be induced to buck the German line. In more peaceful times about 5000 soccer matches were played every week in England during the season, and about as many, prOpor- tiCnately to population, in Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The professional clubs usually paid good dividends, some as high as fifteen per cent, to their stockholders.
 Football has been popular sport in England since the tenth century, when, according to legend, the citizens of Chester captured a Dane and after carefully separating his head from his body, kicked the former about with their feet This sport became very popular, but, when the supply of heads gave out, a ball of leather, called a fCOte- ball. was substituted
 Soccer as now played in England is a comparatively harmless sport but in the old days the British brand of football was even more hazardous than the American intercollegiate snort In the copt1ry football played rarely escaped a severe injury, "so as he dyeth of it or else escapeth very hardly"

DUNDEE AND MANDOT DRAW.
Formers Manager Angry and Claims
 Sixteen Rounds

New Orleans, La, Feb. 14.-Johnnie' Dundee, the New York lightweight, and Joe Mandot of this city. fought twenty rounds to a draw yesterday afternoon.
 It was the second meeting between the pair, and they put up a fast bout all the way. It looked as if Dundeel were the more clever. but Mandotl made up for that in aggressiveness A draw was the only fair decision that could be given.
 Scotty Montieth Dundee's manager, was very sore over the decision. He said last night:
 Dundee outfought and outboxed
 Mandot in sixteen out of twenty rounds. and yet the referee called it. a draw. If ever a boy won a fight

Sp0YfOgraphy
 BE "CRAVN."

American professional baseball may be in a bad way, financially, but it is not so hard hit as British soccer foot
 ball, the great popular sport of the islands of John Bull. Mars has taken a fall out of the game, and the at tendance figures for the last month show that there has been a falling off in gate receipts of about fifty per cent. During the early part of the season the attendance was nearly up to normal but the crusade carried on by prominent men and nearly all the newspapers soon had it's effect. On all sides both players and spectators were lambasted for not abandoning the sport and going to the front At many of the games speakers eXhorted the soccer fans to join the cOlOrs, but, W hile the crowd listened respectfully, few manifested any disposition to heed the advice so liberally given.
 During the last two or three months, however, the crusade has been having it's effect. Many prOmi- nent players have enlisted in the army, and the fans have followed their example in large numbers, with the result that the football magnates have received a severe blow in the region of the pocketbOOk. The figures for the soccer season up to the first of this year show an attendance at the games of the three chief "maior" leagues of 3,00O,OO0, as compared with 5,144,000 in the same period of the previous season, a decrease of 2,134,000. The Second and Southern leagues also show a great decrease in attendance, and several of the minor" leagues were wiped out of existence. All of the leagues. instead of paying big dividends, are almost certain to have serious deficits. Fron, 50,OOO to 100000 fans often wit

BARROW & co. GETS
 LOT OF SYMPATHY
But That is Poor Coin in Paying
 Ball Players.

New York, Feb. 15.-The fate of the International league perhaps will be decided this afternoon, when the henchmen Of Ed Barrow meet in their accustomed haunt in the Hotel Inn perial to hold their spring meeting. This is the time of the year when the 1Dternstionals usually adopt their schedule, but for the present the schedule must wait, pending the settlement of affairs vital to the very existence of the league. Barrow still thinks he can get into The Bronx, and hopes to be able to convince those who are opposing the move that it is in the best interests of O. B. to permit the Internationals to invade that ter ritory.
 It would be useless to deny that the league is in q sad plight. When it is recalled that a little over a year ago Barrow had the third best league in the country, with plants worth as high as s20000O, with players draw iEg almost big league money, it must be admitted that baseball war can raise as much (what MT. Sherman Said) as the real kind.

All They Got Was Sympathy.

Barrow's league has played the part Of poor Belgium. Their sympathies were with the baseball allies, old O. B., but when the Feds shot them full of holes O.

DR.. BAKER LECTURES.
Tells TheOsophicaI Federation of
Restoration of "Mysteries.''

Restoration of the Mysteries of the
Early Church" was the subject of a lee
ture delivered by Dr. W. W. Baker before
the Theosophical Federation of Wash
inEton yesterday.
The masses. the lecturer said, look
ever for guidance TO the leaders in re-
liEion science, and industry, and it has
become evident that the leadership fol-
lowed for fifty years has not proved of
universal value. There is A tendency in
man to look to some teacher better in
structed than himself for his moral in
struction, and his leaders along all lines
should be imbued with moral truth.
Especially is this necessary for the spir-
itual leaders of any age-for those who
teach the mysteries of Cod
In the Christian Scriptures and in
profane literature is found evidence that
there existed an inner teaching handed
down by word of mouth only from gen.
Grafton to generation of spiritual teach
ers, which had its origin in divine reve-
latiOn and which gave TO those to whom
it was cOnfided true spiritual knowledge.
BY the selfshness of the priesthood and
the indifference of the masses this inner
teaching has been temporarily overcloud-
ed, but its restoration is evident in the
mystical teachings given today of rein
carnation, Karma, and the multiple
bodies of man."
