What's Wrong With Baseball?

"Is baseball losing it's grip?" is a
question which is being asked often
nowadays. No, is the answer. The
national pastime is more popular than
ever, is being followed each year by
an ever-increasing number of fans,
and, slowly. but surely, is being taken
up by lovers of things athletic in al
most every civilized country. But
there is no denying the fact that dur
ing the present season the patronage
at the major league ball parks fell be-
low expectations, and there also is no
doubt that this was in consequence of
the titanic struggle in Europe, which,
with its attendant slaughter of hun
dreds of thousands of human beings,
spread cloud Of sorrow over the en-
tire world.

COST OF BASEBALL is HIGH
Owner of Brooklyn Team Compares
Travelling Expenses of Present
Time With Former Years.

Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn
National league baseball team, COM
pairing travelling expenses of former
years with those now in effect, says:
I'm the old days GO or 80 years ago.
l could take my club on visit to the
four cities comprising the National
league and get them home again at
an outlay of $1,000 in travelling and
hotel bills. (This, of course, does not
include salar1es) We carried Is in
a party, Travelled at special rate of
one and one-half cents per mile, over
the $500 miles and usually got three
deadhead tickets out of 18. The party
would consist of six pitchers, two
catchers, five infelders, three outfield-
ers, the manager and one extra man.
Our carfare amounted to approx
mately 5000, and 5000 additional for
sleepers and about $500 for hotel bills
for 16-day trip. The limit in the old
days was $3.50 per day in hotels.
Nov take the conditions today.
Our team carries nine pitchers, three
catchers, five inf1elders, six outfield.
ers, manager and assistant mana
ger, two trainers and two extra men.
This figures 20. We pay two cents
mile for every mile we cover and
get no more deadhead tickets. This
brings the travel bill alone up to ST.
500, the amount of the entire bill in
the old days. Sleeper accommodations
add $500 to the expense, and hotel
bills at 81 day instead of $3.50 add
$1,929 more. All told the item of
travel and meals totals $3.50 for
single western trip at the present
time"

THIS UMPIRE A STRATEGIsT
Clears Field of Crowd of Small Boys
by Picking Up Lost" Silver DOL
lar He Had PaImed.

An amusing incident took place dur
ing game between McAlester and
Muskogee, in the Western association.
An overflow crowd was in attend
ance and space near the right foul
line fence had been rallied off for the
small boys, who were admitted at 10
cents each. About the end of the
sixth inning kid discovered that he
had lost dollar and concluded he
had lost it while chasing flies during
batting practice in right field While
the team was changing sides swarm
of kids ran over into right field and
began looking for the lost dollar.
When the first batter stepped to the
plate Umpire SetIey noticed the kids
and called time while he had the park
policeman chase the boys back into
the inclosure.
The same thing happened at the end
of the next inning After the boys
again had been chased back, Setley,
who was umpiring from behind the
pitcher, turned and looked intently in
to right field, then trotted out into the
field, and before the hundred or more
boys looking on reached down and
picked up a dollar he had palmed, re-
marking, Il had been wondering for
some time what that was shining out
there trotted back to his place and
the game was resumed. His ruse,
however, had the desired effect, as ev-
cry kid was sure the umpire had
found" the dollar and not an urchin
crossed the chalk line during the rest
OF the game.

Fritz MaiseI a Pupil of Cobb.

While giving Fritz Maisel some
kindly advice the other day, Ty Cobb
expressed some views that really
threw a light on the secret of his own
wonderful success. You are a faster
man than / am, Fritz" he said, "and
you ought to be the best base runner
in the league. You should take chances
all the time. Get in there and do the
things that other players are afraid
to do and you'll get away with it eight
times out of ten. The trick is to keep
the other fellow worried, all the time.
If you don't he'll have you worried, and
that's just the way he wants YOU"
Maisel says that it was some advice
from Cobb just before he broke into
the big league that made him as good
a base runner as he is.

seasons ago when he practically
knocked the Giants out of the pen

which the heavy hitters of McGraw

were in need of every game to cap

tobacco DAMAGE totals Millions.

opaCCo damage qIalS miil'o
The loss on Wisconsin tobacco TINS
year will amount into the millions
possibly 10 per cent of the entire crop
being best quality, though shed puril
may cause still further losses. The
weather has been too wet for proper
curing in the shed. Some farmers
are building fires under the tiers u
preserve the shielded weed.
The elements seem determined tue
tobacco growers would not be permit
ted to realize much from the crop oA
the present season. Following clos0
upon the disastrous hail storm OF last
week the growing districts OF the
southern portion of the state were
deluged with an eight-inch preclplta-
ton Sunday night, again doing almost
incalculable damage by flooding the
low lands and washing the fields. Re
ports of hail damage in sections De-
tween Madison and Mcfarland, about
Sun Prairie and in Vernon county
bring further discouraging news.
Possibly 10 to Is per cent OF the
crop had been harvested before uheSe
disasters appeared and quite large
portion that has since been rendered
almost worthless might still have been
made faily good leaf with the contln-
uation of warm weather. New stem
ming goods will largely predominant
in the crop, some buying of which is
now being done as well as an occasion
al crop that has escaped the misfor-
tunes of the season.
1t may be said that the 1915 crop of
tobacco came near being a complete
failure. The income from this source
has been estimated at $6,0OO,OOO a
year heretofore. 1t may reach $l,O0O,-
900 this year. The warehouses are
still flied with stemming goods from
last season.

1873 Enrolled In School for Deaf.

The largest initial enrolment in the
history of the school is reported by
Superintendent E. W. Walker of the
Wisconsin free School for the Deaf,
Delavan. On the opening day, 1873
deaf boys and girls were admitted,
more than on any enrolment day in
the sixty-two years the school has
been in existence.
Mr.. Walker expressed the belief
that the 200 mark will be passed, and
attributes the greatly increased at
tendance to a general awakening
among parents and friends of the
deaf to the opportunity offered free
by the state for their education on the
same basis as children who hear. The
state provides room. board, washing,
light, heat and medical service free
of charge to all deaf boys and girls Of
school age in Wisconsin.

To offer Governor Plan.

Adjt Gen Orlando Holway OF the
Wisconsin National Guard said he eX-
pected soon to ask Gov. E. L. Philip
to approve a plan for increasing the
strength of the organization in the
Guard and to provide for organizing
two new batteries of field artillery.
General Holway said that it was
planned to have the membership OF
the military companies increased from
65 men to 81 men. This will give two
additional squads of eight men each
for each company. The general said
that after the two additional squads
had been assimilated by company it
was probable that the strength of the
company would be further increased.
The plan of increasing the strength
of the State Guard. will, however, de-
pend on the action of congress in in
creasing the strength of the military
companies in the regular army. Such
action by congress, General Holway
said, was expected to be taken early
during the coming session, which con-

 MT. Gillette, as the bIase, worldly wise and keen-scented secretary of the British Legation at Paris, has a role for which he ought to be ideally fitted. Certainly nobody could test the possibilities of this part better than Gillette. Blanche Bates as the t'tCountess zicka, the sinuous Rus sian spy who steals the tracing of the plans of the Notifications at 5GibraI- tar, is likewise fitted with a part worthy of her. fine gifts for subtle. act ! ing.

 Each of these three players has been absent from the Bridgeport stage for over two years. MT. Gillette has been missed from the local boards. as well as Miss. Bates; and Miss Doro, | who has enhanced her reputation by her success in the British metropolis, may be expected to give local play goers something of a revelation in a character that brought her the high est 1aurels on the other side. of the | Atlantic.
