Jew YORK, Oct 16.-If any one
M believes baseball is in danger OF
being ousted by tennis and golf
as the national sport. he should STUDY
the history Of the world series.
Statistics made public here show
clearly a wonderful growth in baseball
I interest Compare the great record OF
cash receipts and attendance made by
the Boston Americans and the New
York Giants in 1912 with the accounts
OF the happenings Of the year 1881
when only 800 persons saw the final
game between the Providence team and
the Metropolitan club.
Players After Glory.
In that year too, the total attendance
at all three games was less than 5000,
although Two great pltcners ftauooG ~
and Keefe opposed each other The
slight receipts did not worry the play
ers, however, because all they got out
Of it was glory. anyway;
In 1855 another world series failure
was registered. Eight thousand fans
saw the six games between the Browns,
led BY Charles Comiskey and AnsOn's
men. 4 number Of scraps" marked the
contests and the series ended in a
draw.
In 1885 the first real series for the
worlds championship was staged and
pulled off in a successful manner. The
six games drew out 10000 and the net
receipts were $4,000, which was
handed over to the St Louis Browns as
per agreement Arson and his merry
men did not get even a pleasant smile
out OF the encounter.
The Series in 1857.
The series OF 1857 was considered a
wonderful affair at that period, with an
attendance Of 81. 1000, and gate receipts
amounting to $4,000. The teams
travelled in special cars and the whole
affair was carried forward on a scale
Of magnifi canoe never before attempted

RESULTS OF LAxIrY.

A short time ago the state was mortified at the death of q young Wo- man in New Haven because she was trapped bn the fourth floor of a. lodg- ing house ip that city and lost her life in a fire. The report thereon just issued by the coroner reveals intina- tions of official laxity and that any number of laws might have been ap- piled to remedy the known conditions of that particular building. When 1t Is declared that there are more of such conditions there appears to be a situa- ton which needs immediate and posi- tive attention.
 Many are the instances which show the need of eliminating just such haS- ards for the proper protection of both life and property. Wherever condi- tious exist that are conducive to fire there should be displayed the utmost erdeavor to overcome them through the enforcement of the regulations and the insisteuce upon adequate caution.
 Every such case should carry it's lesson. but unfortunately it does not Too often does it happen, as is indi- cated in the New Haven instance, that there must be some great sacri- flee to bring about the proper action. There are always enough reasons for tenement house fires and accompany ing loss of life even after careful ef- forts have been made to live up to the requirements but sad indeed is the situation when dangerous conditions are known and tolerated through lax ity in the endorsement of the law. It is an old story with New Haven just now in the lirnelight.

The result of the suffrage question before the lower house of congress revealed a failure that was anticipated. It was reckless optimism to have ex- Dected it to receive favorable action yet there is cause for qualification that 1t received as much support as it d-d.
 In the urging of such an amend ment to the constitution much the same opposition was invited that con- fronted the similar proposition. sub uitted in behalf of prohibition. There were a great many who voted sincere Iy upon the merits of the principles involved, but there were also a great many other votes either in favor or in opposition because of the political advantage that might accrue there rom or because of the belief that 1t was matter with which the states should deal The situation permitted Of other than a straight out and out vote upon the merits of the question.

While the action was fully antfci- paJed, the announcement by Great Bri- tain that the steamer Dacia, the Hamburg American freighter, which has, according to representations. been sold to an American citizen and been given American registry. will be seized and taken before q British prize court, lends interest to the outcome of this problem. There is reason to believe that the cargo of cotton will con- tain no contraband and that if there were no question over the transfer of the vessel it would be permitted to 20 unmolested to it's destination at Bre- men with goods consigned to Ger many.
